However, the authorities specified that the work corresponds to a project to recover the tributary, which includes stabilization of margins and construction of containment structures with recycled materials, such as tires.\n\nEnvironment argued that the current conditions of the river pose risks to nearby communities, infrastructure, and the ecological balance of the river system, especially during the rainy season, due to the decrease in natural drainage capacity.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/9c872fe3-e943-402b-a39d-c24de16cc214-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-661918\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nFurthermore, the entity indicated that the works include channel recovery, margin stabilization, restoration of vegetation cover, and cleaning of impacted areas, with the aim of reducing the risk of flooding and strengthening the environmental protection of the basin.\n\nFinally, the Ministry specified that the intervention is supervised by technicians from the institution, with the support of the National Environmental Protection Service (SENPA), the Specialized Prosecutor&#8217;s Office for the Defense of the Environment and other organizations of the environmental technical table.
