Brief: Court dismisses legal challenge to Chile port terminal
A Chilean appeals court threw out a move to overturn the initial approval of an environmental permit for a US$500mn project to build a second port terminal in the city of Valparaíso.
The legal challenge was brought by a member of the city's civil council, Jorge Bustos, who argued that the environmental impact evaluation system had not followed all the proceedings when evaluating the project, known as Cerros de Valparaíso.
The project's environmental impact study has been under review since 2014. Last week, the environmental evaluation service (SEA) recommended approving the EIS, but the final vote on the project, which was scheduled for Wednesday, was suspended, according to SEA's website.
