INAGA opens public information for the 3,998-place pig macro-farm in Selgua

The Aragonese Institute of Environmental Management (INAGA), under the Department of Environment and Tourism of the Government of Aragon, has opened the public information process for the environmental impact study and the basic project for Integrated Environmental Authorization for the expansion of a pig fattening operation up to 3,998 places (479.76 LSU). The facility is planned for polygon 38, plot 182, of Selgua, in the municipality of Monzón (Huesca). The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of Aragon number 219, dated November 12, 2026, with the official reference BOA20261112040 and file number INAGA 500305/02/2025/10507.

The process is activated under Article 55 of Law 11/2014, of December 4, on Environmental Prevention and Protection of Aragon, and is part of the joint procedure for environmental impact assessment and Integrated Environmental Authorization. INAGA specifies that the project will not produce significant environmental effects on another European Union State; therefore, no cross-border consultation phase will be opened.

What is being submitted for consultation and with what figures

The file accumulates two components being processed simultaneously:

• Environmental impact study of the expansion project for the pig fattening operation.
• Basic project for Integrated Environmental Authorization, the authorization that sets the operating conditions regarding emissions, waste, water, and odors.
• Requested capacity: 3,998 fattening places, equivalent to 479.76 LSU (livestock units).
• Location: polygon 38, plot 182, of Selgua, municipality of Monzón, province of Huesca.
• Promoter: the person or entity holding the NIF identified in the announcement as *0561, with no further identification data in the published text.

The complete documentation—environmental impact study and basic project—is available to the public on the INAGA electronic office at the address https://www.aragon.es/inaga/informacionpublica.

Thirty days and allegations only via electronic means

The period for submitting observations, allegations, and inquiries is thirty days starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of Aragon, that is, from November 13, 2026. Participation is channeled through two routes: the public information process itself and the consultation of interested parties and affected public administrations.

The announcement imposes a relevant condition for those wishing to intervene:

• Participation must be carried out exclusively by electronic means, in accordance with the fourth additional provision of Law 10/2013, of December 19, of the Aragonese Institute of Environmental Management, as amended by Law 1/2021, of February 11, on administrative simplification.
• Any electronic registry of the Administration may be used, although the electronic address indicated in the announcement itself is recommended.
• The body designated to receive the allegations is the Aragonese Institute of Environmental Management.

Who decides and what recourse remains

The competence to formulate the environmental impact statement and to resolve the application for Integrated Environmental Authorization corresponds to INAGA, and the granting of the authorization, if applicable, to the Director of the Institute. The Integrated Environmental Authorization is configured as the final administrative resolution of the procedure, and the appropriate appeals may be filed against it. The environmental impact statement is not issued as a separate act: it is integrated into the same resolution, according to article 56 of Law 11/2014.

The announcement was signed in Zaragoza on October 27, 2026, by Diana Remón Galindo, Head of Area III of the Institute, and is inserted in section V (Announcements), subsection b) Other announcements, of the regional official gazette.

A trickle of similar files

The opening of this file is added to other porcine expansion procedures that INAGA has submitted for public information in recent weeks, including those of Fraga up to 7,200 places (file INAGA 500305/02/2025/08843, announcement of August 31, 2026) and Caspe up to 5,000 places (file INAGA 500305/02/2025/09899, announcement of August 19, 2026). In all cases, the same scheme is repeated: thirty days of public information, electronic participation, and a single resolution that integrates the environmental statement and the sectoral authorization.

The decision on the Selgua macro-farm now rests in the hands of the allegations presented and the technical criteria of the Institute. For local residents, surrounding livestock farmers, and environmental entities, the open period is the only formal window to influence the file before the Director of INAGA signs an authorization that, by its very nature, exhausts the administrative route.
