Moments after the start of the works, neighborhood and environmental movements opposed the project but Costas dismissed the allegations. It did not take much time to pass to see the unfortunate consequences of the disastrous project, stated the environmentalists at the time, who described the project as an "ecological attack."

In October 1998, a multidisciplinary technical commission was created to study the elimination of the negative impacts generated by the project on the beach. A consensus is reached to create the Elimination of Negative Impacts of the Burrero project, but it is blocked and the Beach Restoration project is born, a proposal that responds to the partisan interests of the current State Government and the personal interests of the general director "who proposes in a gracious and unilateral manner this definitive solution" that the committee totally rejects[1]​.

Years later, after verifying the foreseeable incompatibility of the sand with the usual wind in the area, a consensus was reached by all the political parties of the Ingenio City Council "Ingenio (Gran Canaria)") to try to recover the use and enjoyment of the beach. Among the agreements were the replacement of sand with callao "Callao (stone)") and the elimination of the South Dike.

In this sense, a report was prepared by the CEDEX of the Ministry of the Environment, which raised the possibility of reducing the length of the dam, cutting its final section. In this study it is stated that If the south breakwater were dismantled, the beach would be restored to its original morphology. A study was also carried out Study to Eliminate Negative Impacts of Burrero Beach, commissioned by Costas of the Ministry of the Environment to Mr. Enrique Copeiro (Road Engineer) and Miguel Ángel García Campos (Technical Engineer of Public Works), which recommended completely eliminating the south dike.

On March 16, 2004, the Plenary Session of the Ingenio City Council agreed to urge the Coastal Delegation to recover the Burrero beach and among the proposed measures is the demolition of the South dike.

In July 2005, the General Directorate of Coasts of the Ministry of Environment, has submitted to public information the project RESTORATION OF THE BURRERO BEACH, T.M. DE INGENIO, through publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Las Palmas, no. 85 of July 27, 2005. The Project did not comply with its objective, established in point 1 as Definition of the works to be carried out for the restoration of Playa del Burrero to its original conditions, since it does not contemplate the elimination of the south dike which, according to all previous studies carried out, constitutes the main alteration of the original conditions of the beach. In addition, an important part of the budget is dedicated to modifying the aforementioned dam with 20 meters of new breakwater and replacement of the pavement and fencing, beacons, etc.[2]​.
