The essay discusses the criteria available in Peru’s environmental impact assessment regime for mandatory modification of environmental impact studies as a result of the modification of the underlying project. The paper identifies the gaps in the cross-sector legislation on environmental impact assessment, and the deficiencies of sector-specific legislation on environmental impact assessment, which have privileged quantitative criteria associated to the size of the project, over qualitative criteria associated to the real impact of the amendment of the project.

El presente artículo analiza la estructura del régimen legal de evaluación de impacto ambiental a nivel del Sistema Nacional de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental y del subsector minero. Este último, en lo que a evaluación de impacto ambiental respecta, ha resultado ser un subsector fraccionado dando como resultado una variedad de sub-regímenes legales de evaluación de impacto ambiental al interior del propio subsector minero. Así, el autor en el presente artículo analiza los elementos centrales, criterios de distinción entre uno y otro sub-régimen, distinguiéndolos entre la gran, mediana y pequeña minería; y fundamentalmente identifica los aciertos, deficiencias y vacíos aún existentes, luego de haberse publicado el Nuevo Reglamento de Protección Ambiental para las Actividades de Exploración Minera.
