(Ferrovial) Pollution Incidents

In 2011, a total of € 13,158 was paid in environmental penalties corresponding to the year. Ferrovial reports the effective sanctions for 2011 as well as for previous years, given that legal processes involved often take longer than a year. Consequently, the figures do not include proposed amounts, but only those penalties that were executed in 2011.

The amount of executed penalties paid in 2011 fell significantly on the previous year (€19,349.25 in 2011, compared with €75,734.5 in 2010), although the number of sanctions remains stable (22 in 2010, 26 in 2011).

An event is considered to be significant when there are disciplinary proceedings resulting from it. Therefore, in 2011 there has been no significant event relating to any water collection or transport activity.

There were no accidental discharges in 2011, although there were 3 minor cases of problems in processing the authorizations for use of land and discharges into the public water domain pending resolution.

Two disciplinary proceedings for unauthorized discharges of sludge dating to 2010 were resolved negatively.

The biggest penalties proposed are those referring to authorization for quarrying loans.
