Relevance Consultation
EIS-Ambiental:
Expert advisory services for the preparation of pertinence consultations for entry into the SEIA.
Within the current regulatory and territorial framework, a meticulously prepared pertinence consultation can be pivotal in distinguishing between a clear environmental process and one susceptible to observations, legal challenges, or outright rejection.
At EIS-Ambiental, we provide expert technical advisory services for the preparation of pertinence consultations, emphasizing regulatory rigor, impact anticipation, and institutional clarity.
Technical Leadership with a Proven Track Record in Environmental Governance
Our team is led by Sandra Cortez Contreras, a Chemical Civil Engineer from the Universidad Católica del Norte, with over 25 years of experience in environmental assessment and enforcement.
Sandra has held key roles within the State, including:
- Acting Director of the Environmental Assessment Service (SEA).
- Regional Superintendent of the Superintendency of the Environment (SMA) in Antofagasta.
Her extensive experience provides her with unique strategic insight into the technical and regulatory criteria that determine whether a project requires entry into the SEIA. Under her leadership, every pertinence consultation we prepare is meticulously structured to withstand institutional evaluation, intersectoral observations, and potential legal challenges.

What Our Advisory Services Include
Comprehensive Preparation of the Pertinence Consultation
We draft the technical document, focusing on the criteria outlined in Article 10 of Law 19.300 and its Regulations. We provide robust legal and technical argumentation, clearly articulating the project's key elements, its potential effects, and its relationship with the thresholds established by the regulations.
Proactive Identification of Risks and Impacts
We assess potential effects on sensitive components, such as the human environment, indigenous peoples, or natural resources, and propose approaches that reduce regulatory uncertainty and prevent the obligation of forced entry into the SEIA.
Integration of Territorial and Sectoral Perspectives
We include a contextualized territorial analysis, considering regional regulations, prior experiences, and background information that may influence the institutional evaluation of pertinence.
Delivery of Ready-to-Submit Documents and Ongoing Follow-up
We include a summary sheet, cartographic annexes (if applicable), and drafting in accordance with the standards utilized by public evaluating services. We continuously monitor the status of the consultation and keep our clients informed at every stage of the process.
