Diseño de un plan de administración ambiental para la Granja Porcina Bélgica, del cantón Cumanda

Abstract

The "Belgium" pig farm, located San Pablo, Cumanda Canton, the design of the environmental management plan was carried out, in wich experimental samples of water were used that characterized the conditions of the environment and reflected the existence of impacts and the degree of alteration. The design of an environmental management plan was accomplished mainly integrating the mitigation measures that should be applied in each of the activities related to the management of swine. The identification, evaluation and evaluation of environmental impacts were accomplished, observing that the highest values of negative impacts reported were: the emission of gases (-13) and noise production (-10), while the most representative positive impacts were the generation of employment (+22) and expansion of the company (¬+15). When evaluating the main water parameters and air quality, the average values of input in BOD were 2,80 mg O/l and the output was 12.636 mg O/l, for the COD at the entrance the mean values were 6,85 mg O/l and the output was 30.140 mg O/l; while the pH was 7.34 at the entrance of the porcupine and at the exit of 6.26, that is an acid character due to the presentation of slurry, these data served for the assessment of the degree of affectation that is exerted in the main environmental components of animal breeding product.
