Evaluación de impacto ambiental al centro de faenamiento del GAD cantón Arenillas y planteamiento de políticas ambientales sostenibles

Abstract

In its productive performance, the slaughter center of the Arenillas canton is generating liquid and solid waste of organic characteristics, which currently does not apply any treatment before its final disposal, its waters being discharged to the public sewer system and which corresponds to solid waste are stored outdoors in improvised areas next to the pens, once they have dried they are taken to the sanitary landfill of the same canton where they are stored. Due to the impacts caused by the slaughterhouse in its animal slaughter process, the following topic was taken into account: “Environmental Impact Assessment of the Center for Slaughter of the Cantonal Grenadier of Arenillas and the Approach of Sustainable Environmental Policies” by which was proposed as an integrative proposal the design of a wastewater treatment plant added to an anaerobic upstream filter contributing to give an adequate final disposal to solid and liquid waste. As a first phase for the development of the research, the exploratory and descriptive methodology was used to collect the information, since not having enough information on the current state of the center, a field visit to the area of I am already studying the Environmental Management Unit of the GAD of Arenillas where the type of water that is discharged to the public sewerage system without any previous treatment was evidenced, in addition to the inadequate storage of solid waste causing odors and at the same time giving way to presence of disease-bearing vectors, as another point that could be observed was the availability of space that the center has and the adequate physical conditions for the development of the treatment system, different types of technologies were considered according to the type of discharge for The design of the treatment plant.
