Propuesta de un plan integral para el manejo de los residuos sólidos del cantón Tisaleo.

Abstract

It was proposed a complete plan for the management of solid wastes at Tisaleo canton, Tungurahua province, in order to improve the environmental quality. A base line was set by applying observation, interviews, surveys which allowed to know the current situation about the management of solid waste in the canton. The environmental impacts were evaluated, having as a result 73,38% of negative impacts and 26,62% of positive impacts obtaining a total impact of 2,9, of moderate level which is easy to correct. It was determined the total weight of solid waste generated on each collection route, whose total value was 17,11 tons a week, and a per capita production of 1,41 kg/hab. a day. From the study it was determined the execution of the development of the proposal for the management plan of solid waste, which is made up of ten programs: prevention and mitigation of impacts, contingency and emergencies, environmental training and education, occupational health and industrial safety, community relationships, monitoring, institutional entailment, source separation, collection, frequency and transportation and final disposition. The application of the plan will allow to reduce the impacts on 70%. In short, this complete plan of solid wastes is appropriate for controlling and correcting the main environmental impacts generated through the different activities, for instance, it is recommended to the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Tisaleo to implement this proposed plan of management of solid wastes in order to manage and use them properly. The action lines set in the plan will be used as reference to be implemented at any DAG around the country.
