Ecuador canton Arajuno regulates riverbed aggregate extraction

The canton of Arajuno in Ecuador issued a new ordinance (No. 015-GADMIPA-2026) that substitutes previous rules to regulate, authorize, and control the exploitation, transport, processing, and storage of arid and petrous materials (sand, gravel, stone) from riverbeds, lakes, and quarries within its jurisdiction. This is a routine local regulatory update, not a major shift, but it may affect local construction supply chains and environmental compliance. The ordinance's specifics and enforcement are not detailed in the source.
