The airport activity features a dealership "reluctant" to correct errors and a Watchdog that does not have the power to sanction the dealer. A report from the General Audit Office (AGN, for its acronym in Spanish) refers, first, to the company Airports Argentina 2000, which operates the airport terminals since 1999 and, on the other, to the Regulatory Agency of National Airports System (ORSNA), under the Secretary of Transport and the Ministry of Federal Planning, responsible for conducting environmental security checks.

The auditors visited the Aeroparque Jorge Newbery in Buenos Aires, where 35% of the traffic of passengers is performed, and Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini Airport, which accounts for almost 80% of international flights to and from Argentina.

In Aeroparque, the AGN noted that "most of the observations conducted by ORSNA to the dealer are reiterated from the first surveys in almost every inspected location" and lists "oil pollution; lack of order and cleanliness; lack of appropriate methods for the collection of hazardous waste landfills; failure to verify the conditions of maintenance of vehicles, to avoid leaks and spills of fluids; lack of containment for containers whose contents can contaminate the natural soil or storm drains; toppling of blue waters directly to a sewer that is untreated and misplaced.”

In addition, the Audit "saw a plane in a state of neglect and sheds alongside the track closed for years by court order" as a result of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. The report, adopted this year on 2008 data says in this regard that "although these sheds may contain hazardous waste, the fact was not made known to the Judge or requested some extent." It was also found that "the company Intercargo, generator of hazardous waste, does not have (at the close of the fieldwork) a deposit for storage."

Regarding the work of the body that should control the environmental safety the auditors say: "The ORSNA conducts inspections and informs of the dealership the relevant findings, which in some cases are kept for years, but they have not applied any sanction" for the irregularities.

According to the AGN, and just like what happened in Aeroparque, the company Airports Argentina 2000 has been "reluctant to resolve the deficiencies identified by the ORSNA" in Ezeiza and at the same time, the agency "has not exercised its power to sanction despite the repeated failures."

The failures that ORSNA remarked, but not sanctioned, are "murky effluent in the sewage treatment plant; dumps inside and outside the premises; inappropriate and risky storage of hazardous waste; failure to register (for companies) in the national register of generators of hazardous waste; poor condition of the lakes where rollovers occur."

However, the Federal watchdog obtained "findings that weren’t observed” in previous reports of the ORSNA. For example, in the "improper storage of hazardous waste and lack of security in the workshops of Aerolineas Argentinas and (the company) Gate Gourmet there were lack of means of pollution control and soil and subsoil in electroplating workshops (of the same firms)." And promptly at the premises of Gate Gourmet, "losses in the holding tanks and direct discharge on a cement floor were found," which, according to the report does not meet the conditions of "stall."
