Plan de manejo ambiental para la Unidad de Investigación Porcina Experimental Tunshi

Abstract

An environmental handling plan for the experimental porcine investigation unit (U.I.P.E) Tunshi, located in Chimborazo province, Licto Parish was carried out in this investigation. Treatments, repetitions were not used because it is a diagnosis study in it does not need an Experimental Design. The methodology was chosen according to the analysis of waste water samples taken from the plan facilities every 15 days in from the soil at the beginning and at the end, so that they can be sent to the laboratory. The results showed that the streets to get there are not in good conditions, the balance died is kept in the same place as the pigs that means there is no adequate separation to avoid contamination. Regarding to the quality of the water flowing through this area we realized that pollution loads had risen when we compared the incoming water with the outcoming water, total solids especially, (775,00 mg/L to 2549,5 mg/L); COD (12,18 mg/L to 3117,25 mg/L) BOD (8,73 mg/L to 2187,25 mg/L) end particularly total Coliforms (107,50 CFU/g to 21450000 CFU/g). An overall impact rating of 9 (Pb2tem) was registered in this place according our analysis criteria by using the Modified Leopold Matrix. This rating shows a moderate impact. That is why, it is recommended to solve some environmental problems which cannot be mitigated and are limiting in the operation of this porcine unit.

Key words: ENVIRONMENTAL HANDLING, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
