As a result of the work carried out by this team of professionals, the (PGI) emerges, as the foundational framework of the remediation project for Las Salinas and also as a general proposal for soil remediation in urban environments in the country. Thus, beyond bioremediation as a technique widely used in the world, they set themselves the goal of answering a question that points to the epistemology of the project, that is, the concept that directs and sustains it: The answer is based on a With these aspects in mind, it seeks to accredit standards of design, operation and management of excellence, in order to transform itself in the short term into a reference project at regional and national level. As Salvador Donghi, member of the Scientific Committee, points out: “”. In this sense, it is not enough just to develop a proposal to lift the risk condition that exists on the Las Salinas site, in minimum compliance with environmental regulations. We must be able to act collaboratively in a natural process of remediation, through an approach that combines the biogeographical, social and urban aspects, based on motivations related to reciprocity and the common good. The objective he focuses on is to face the bioremediation process by situating all participants (experts, companies, neighbors, etc.) symmetrically and understanding each of the components of the impacts that may be generated, including the responses to and work with the community.
