%X Se pretende determinar en Chile cu芍ndo hay da o "significativo" al medio ambiente y cu芍l es el r谷gimen de responsabilidad civil extracontractual para exigir su reparaci車n material, cuando 谷ste se ha causado con ocasi車n de la construcci車n y operaci車n de una carretera, con especial atenci車n a si ella es concesionada, precisando las caracter赤sticas m芍s importantes de la normativa (y su futura reforma con la ley de tribunales ambientales) y revisando la jurisprudencia existente. Se concluye que el est芍ndar de conducta impuesto a las concesionarias, por la ley (de concesiones y ambiental) y nuestros tribunales, es extremadamente exigente en materia de culpa; que no resulta adecuada la restringida legitimaci車n activa en la acci車n ambiental, especialmente cuando el causante del da o es el propio Estado; y que, frente a da os irreparables, m芍s que una indemnizaci車n convendr赤a compensar in natura. This paper intends to determine when there is "significant" damage to the environment and which is the tort system to demand material repair, when it has been caused on the occasion of the construction and operation of roads, with special attention to whether it is a concession, pointing out the most relevant features of the legislation (and its future reform with the Environmental Courts Act) and reviewing the existing case law. It is concluded that the standard of conduct imposed to concessionaires by law (Concession Act and Environmental legislation) and our courts, is extremely demanding in terms of guilt; that the restricted locus standi in the environmental action, especially when the damage has been caused by the State itself; and that, facing irreparable damage, rather than a monetary compensation, a in natura compensation should be more advisable.
