Evaluación del cierre técnico del relleno sanitario del sitio Estero Medina de la parroquia Bella María

Abstract

The social impact generated by the inadequate administration of sanitary landfills by the competent authority has been one of the main problems worldwide. The Gad of the Canton Santa Rosa prior to the disagreements by the community in recent years have generated complaints due to the inadequate management of the sanitary landfill, one of the main causes is the economic deficit, the impact on population health and the contamination of the natural resources. For this reason, analyzing each of the negative impacts derived from the activity, they have determined the technical closure of the Estero Medina landfill once its useful life has been completed, in order to mitigate those environmental impacts and improve the quality of life of the population. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, it allows evaluating the activities carried out in the technical closure, resulting in two minor non-conformities and four major non-conformities, which are transferred to an action plan that will be executed during a proposed year in this research.
