THE Cebu City Rivers Management Council (CCRMC) wants the P1-million retaining wall built by a private hospital in the city to be demolished.
This, after they found out that the wall has encroached on the middle part of the Guadalupe River.
Aside from that, the retaining wall has no permit from the City Government.
The retaining wall is 35 meters long and is being constructed by the Chong Hua Medical Arts.
The CCRMC learned about the retaining wall after a complaint was filed before them by Engr. Serafin Uy.
Santiago Ortiz Jr., lawyer of Uy, said the construction of the retaining wall has already encroached on his clients property and has limited the flow of the rivers water.
Rainy season is already here. This ongoing construction is abetting disaster by narrowing the river and its curve design can cause the water flow towards my clients property. Lives may be endangered, he said.
Last June 6, the CCRMC inspected the site and recommended the demolition of the retaining wall.
Uys camp, however, lamented that the recommendation has not yet been implemented. A copy of his complaint was then given by Uy to Sun.Star Cebu.
Sun.Star Cebu tried to get a comment from CCRMC chairperson former city councilor Jose Daluz III but he cannot be reached for comment as of yesterday.

Dozens of people attended a meeting where developers and engineers discussed the construction of a retaining wall and walkway area in Bellefonte.
Developers and residents say it's about time something is done to the area.
"We're dealing with an area of Bellefonte that's been plagued by some devastation," says Scott Russell, the Vice President of Buchart-Horn Engineering, the company responsible with designing the waterfront project. "It's been a long time in the making."
The plans show a higher wall and a walk way with room for developers to build behind. Residents say, even with the wall, they think the area is still likely to be impacted by flooding.
"The flood plane is the flood plane," says Mike Prendergast, a man who lives in Bellefonte. "It's going to be the same after they get through building it. It's going to be just a little more contained, that's all."
Designers with Buchart-Horn say their plan should increase visitors and business to the area while stabilizing the stream front.
That's something Josh Etters, who works at Gamble Mill, hopes will happen.
"I think it'll bring more people into the area," says Etters, a manager at the tavern. "Businesses and new attractions bring people in so it'll be great for the local economy."
Some residents weren't convinced about the project, citing concerns about the wall's lack of beauty.
Russell says the group hopes to begin construction on the new waterfront area by 2015.

Project Looking to Decrease Flood Risk and Boost Economy

The retaining wall at the home of 1301 Hochelaga St. W. that runs along 13th Avenue Northwest has been in place for 20 years. It is seen on the afternoon of June 17, 2014.
A retaining wall thats been in place for 20 years, contrary to a city bylaw, is not going anywhere.
After receiving a complaint of the retaining wall extending to the curb at 1301 Hochelaga St. W., city administration checked with city engineers for buildings permits and with the parks and recreation department for boulevard approval. No such approval or permit was found.
As there is no city sidewalk at the location and its within the 1.5 meters of the curb, the bylaw enforcement office sent owner Ronald Pohl a letter instructing him to remove the structure. A city report also said the structure prevents the passenger door of vehicles legally parking on 13th Avenue Northwest from opening.
Pohl appealed that letter at executive committee at Mondays meeting.
Why am I here? he said at the meeting. Ive had this retaining wall on the boulevard for the last 20 years. Ive never had a problem.
However, Coun. Candis Kirkpatrick said she finds it similar to the issue of the fence at Grace Street and 10th Avenue Northwest that was contravening the bylaw last fall. Council voted to uphold the city order and have the family make the appropriate corrections, which have been made.
I have difficulty disconnecting the two The bylaw is in place for a reason, said Kirkpatrick. I think that if we do allow this to stay as it is, we are definitely setting a precedent in this particular case and would have difficulty arguing someone else to do the same.
But Coun. Brian Swanson said he could remember what the yard looked like before the retaining wall was put in place.

MAYBROOK - The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Halmar International for two serious workplace safety violations in the Dec. 2 collapse of a retaining wall that killed two workers and injured a third.
The collapse happened Dec. 2 at a three-acre construction site owned by Halmar off Homestead Avenue in Maybrook. A crew was pouring concrete for a mockup of an aqueduct project the company was working on for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
One citation said the formwork for the retaining wall failed to support the loads applied to it during the concrete pour due to the absence of three diagonal braces. The other citation was for not having drawings of the formwork present at the construction site.
One worker, Timothy Lang, 53, of Saugerties, was pronounced dead at the scene. A second worker, Scott Winkler, 50, of Monroe, was taken to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla and died two weeks later. Rafael Zakota, 37, of Glendale in Queens, was injured but survived.
OSHA has proposed that Halmar pay a $7,000 fine for each of the violations. OSHA spokesman Ted Fitzgerald said the fine is based on the classification of the violations and does not take into account whether any deaths or injuries occurred.
Halmar principal Chris Larson confirmed Monday that the company received the preliminary findings from OSHA about a week ago, but has not yet had a chance to meet with OSHA or determined how to respond.
Halmar has until June 20 to decide whether to accept the violations, show they have been abated and pay the fine, or contest the findings before an independent OSHA review commission.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) Heavy rain and flooding has cause problems all across the state this week, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is no exception.
Officials at the airport said a retaining wall collapsed just before 9:30 a.m. Thursday along the center divider on the way into Terminal 1. Traffic has been reduced to one lane as work crews attempt to clean up the mess.
Authorities said the collapse is likely due to a mudslide-type event as a result of the heavy rain that hit the area early Thursday morning. Airport officials said that due to the weather, the airport is experiencing 15 to 30-minute delays.
Officials said parts of the short-term parking area were under six inches of water at one point early Thursday. A section of post road was also closed for a short time Thursday morning due to flooding.
