184 characteristics that pose minimal risk to human health. In this case, the conditions would be in place to allow for the subsequent use of the land for the creation of forests, recreation, or other productive purposes (Section 7.14, amended by Art. 2 of DS 006-2025-EM). Likewise, if the community or local, regional, or national governments are interested in the economically viable "alternative use" of any facility or infrastructure belonging to a mining unit for public use or interest, they must jointly request with the owner of the mining activity that said facility or infrastructure be excluded from the closure commitments (Art. 18 of DS 033-2005-EM, amended by DS 037-2017-EM). However, with regard to the closure of mining liabilities, current legislation favorably considers regulations that, through amendments to the Liability Closure Law and its Regulations, have clarified definitions regarding generators, voluntary remediators, and those who request "alternative use," in addition to reuse. The State promotes private sector participation in the remediation of areas with mining environmental liabilities, under any modality permitted by current legislation (Article 14 of DS 003-2009-EM). Figure 2 shows the evolution of regulations. Figure 2 - Timeline showing the evolution of specific regulations Alternative use consists of conditioning the mining environmental liability for productive, "tourist," cultural, "recreational," sports, or other activities, provided that it is requested by the local government or local governments in the area where the environmental liabilities are located. Such conditioning shall not pose a risk to human health or the environment (paragraph 4.11 incorporated by Article 2 of DS 003-2009-EM). In the case of Peru, its mining history includes many mines and facilities located in different regions, particularly in the high Andean areas near towns and cities that originated from this activity. For a long time, these towns depended on mining until the mines were depleted or abandoned because they were no longer profitable, leaving these towns to fend for themselves. 6.3 Changes to Ensure the Viability and Success of Mining Tourism
