Castilla Disputes S/20.6 Million Dump Charge as Prosecutor Seeks to Safeguard Piura Waste Service

Prosecutors set a payment proposal deadline today to avert a sanitary risk.

Overview

  • The Ministerio Público convened local authorities and agreed the disposal site will keep operating for Piura, Castilla, Veintiséis de Octubre and Catacaos.
  • SAT Piura figures cited by the Fiscalía put Castilla’s claim at S/20.6 million, potentially reducible to S/3.8 million if tax benefits are applied, with a counterproposal due October 17.
  • Castilla demands a debt ‘sinceramiento,’ argues parts are time‑barred, cites a 2019 Tribunal Fiscal annulment of a SATP resolution, and maintains the site is a botadero rather than a sanitary landfill.
  • Catacaos and Veintiséis de Octubre committed to coordinate payment schedules with SAT Piura and to use municipal tax benefits in force through 2025 to ensure continuity.
  • OEFA says the site meets minimum technical conditions and will keep up periodic oversight, as the Fiscalía warns that failure to finance operations could trigger a public‑health risk, especially in the summer months.
