Propuesta de cierre técnico del botadero a cielo abierto del cantón El Guabo y determinación de soluciones de remediación ambiental

Abstract

Every population or community must have a place where the different kinds of waste generated from their daily activities are destined, and likewise have the certainty that the place where the waste will be deposited has adequate conditions for its confinement. Through a previous study, it is defined that the El Guabo canton does not have the technical procedures of a sanitary landfill and it is determined that the site area does not have the appropriate adaptations to deposit the garbage and is called a garbage dump. In this case, it causes environmental impacts on the soil, water, air, landscape. The immediate action is to apply a technical closure to the site to minimize and compensate for the impacts caused at the study site. The garbage dump of El Guabo canton is located about 150 meters from State Highway 25 Panamericana, specifically in the place known as Río Salado, with a distance of about 5km from the cantonal head. The methodologies used in this research are the identification of environmental impacts, data collection and the different study factors that lead to take the appropriate corrective actions that mitigate the impacts caused by the poor disposal of the waste generated by the population under study.
