The big fraud of the yasica mouth project
The big fraud of the yasica mouth project
By caba8255 on September 2, 2017.
Since 2013, the French investor Fabrice Grinda with promoter Gordon Ganon are with the Yasica mouth project, a place really almost untouchable for its fragile ecosystem with wetland components, mangroves and dunes.
La Boca de Yasica has been for decades the recreation space preferred by the local inhabitants of Cabarete and other surrounding communities, not only because of its natural conditions of great beauty, but because the beaches of tourist exploitation have been privatized by the development of foreign investment, leaving them La Boca as the last and only option of free and healthy recreation of beach, river and sea.
But the reality is very different from what the owner and the promoter paint. It is a total fraud to the community of Cabarete when it is now seen that they want to strip 34,000 meters of public domain land to do their project
The approved plan shows that all project buildings are located outside the boundaries of the owner's lot (plot 48-B) on public land. In addition, these buildings are on the current public access road and the plan shows that they plan to cut that road well before reaching the mouth of the river and provide a parking lot for the public where they can leave their vehicles for the long walk to the mouth. This parking lot is already built on land that does not belong to the developer located in the 60 meters of the high tide, overturning dunes and protected forests.

The environmental license clearly indicates that the project has to be totally built on parcel 48-B belonging to the developer and that the current access to the Boca de Yasica can not be altered or closed.
ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSE : PROJECT IN PLOT 48-BY NO CHANGE OF ACCESS TO YASICA'S MOUTH
PLAN APPROVED FOR THE ENVIRONMENT : PROJECT ENTIRELY OUTSIDE PLOT 48-B, CLOSURE OF ACCESS TO YASICA'S MOUTH AND TRACKS INSIDE WETLAND AND MANGROVE
The following photo checks the fraud. In green lines, they are the boundaries of plot 48-B. In white lines, the location of the construction of the project with the coordinates indicated in the environmental license. Note that the project does not have a meter to within its plot.
The green line indicates the boundary of the plot of the developer and the white line, where the project and the villa of the owner will be built. The project and the villa are totally out of the owner's plot.
In March 2017, in the Caribbean newspaper, you can read the following statements of the promoter's spokesperson:
"In response to such denunciations, José Luis Mendoza, spokesman for the Dominican Republic of La Boca Cabarete, said that the project will be developed in just 8,000 square meters of the approximately 620,000 that were purchased from its previous owners. "
These statements indicate that they are going to build on their land what is not the case. Besides that, they are not 8000 meters of construction but 53,000 meters of construction that indicates the environmental license.
In addition to catching for their project, land that does not belong to it, the violations that occurred in 2014 were repeated when they depredated hundreds of thousands of square meters of wetland, mangroves and other protected species according to what you see in that photo of Google earth February 28, 2014. The color difference between Fabrice Grinda's 48-B plot and the 48-A plot of the Geneva family indicates that there was herbicide, drainage channels to dry wetland and dozens of males to cut mangroves and other species protected
In that photo of Google earth of February 28, 2014, we see the desire to totally depredate the area of Boca de Yasica for the project of investor Fabrice Grinda. The color difference between Fabrice Grinda's 48-B plot and the 48-A plot of the Geneva family indicates that there was herbicide, drainage channels to dry wetland and dozens of males to cut mangroves
From the penalty a couple of weeks that the license was obtained, they began at once to depredate the place to achieve what they could not fully achieve in 2014.
Beginning in the southern part of the Boca, in the sector of Vera long, a track is being built within wetland and mangroves, violating laws and not considered by the license for the fragility of the place but that is seen in the map approved by environment. Not only will it destroy a large area of wetlands, but the road, raised with 2 meters of caliche over a distance of 1 kilometer to Boca de Yasica will create a long dam blocking the water outlet of the community of Vera Larga flooding community. In that area, we have up to 2 meters of water. And the trouble is that this scandal involves the Cabarete trade union, Raquel Sierra, who granted permission to Gordon Ganon against the community of Vera Larga to create a new road in Vera Larga to give access to that new track of the project. Until asphalt the part that reaches Vera Larga with the asphalt of the government and the money of our tax. It is heard that 50,000 to 100,000 cubic meters of caliche are to be thrown into the protected area.
Asphalt is the first of September the track that arrives before the beginning of track to inside of wetland in Vera Larga to supposedly throw tens of thousands of cubic meters of caliche to inside the natural water of that place.

On the northern coast, a cliff is also being hidden in a wetland, knowing that the Ministry has forbidden to touch wetlands, mangroves and other protected species.

Closer, you can see the damage caused by the promoter in that sector
THE INTENTION OF THE PROMOTER IS CLARIFY THAT IT WILL FOLLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRACKS AS THEY WERE ASPHALT ON FRIDAY FIRST SEPTEMBER 2017, REGARDLESS THAT AN ENVIRONMENT COMMISSION OF SANTO DOMINGO CAME AND DETAILED THE DEPREDATION ON AUGUST 29, 2017. IT SEEMS THAT THE PROMOTER BE ABOVE ALL THE AUTHORITIES AND THE LAWS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT FOR YOUR PREDATORY INTENTIONS.
In the central part of the Boca, a cleaning is done underneath the existing trees, violating the principles of the environmental license.
In the center of the ecosystem of the mouth, a clearing of the ground is being done in a hidden way
On the river bank, you can see a 30-meter cleanup, regardless of whether the license prohibits you from touching the 30-meter river.

A commission from the ministry of environment came Tuesday 29 August to check the depredations and are preparing a report. Note that only a violation of the license implies a cancellation of the environmental license.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSE FOR THE MOUTH PROJECT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE APPROVED PLAN. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
