Identificação de impactos ambientais no sistema de vazamento a céu aberto-lixão na cidade de Caicó-RN.

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, society is increasingly generating more waste due to the activities carried out on a daily basis. For a long time, this waste was disposed of inappropriately and the same still happens today, being considered an inadequate form of final disposal of waste. solid waste. The present work aims to identify the environmental impacts in the open-air dump-dump in the municipality of Caicó-RN in order to propose mitigation and compensation measures. The methodology used to develop this work was based on bibliographical research, field visits , photographic records, satellite images, software as well as the use of specific methodologies from the bibliography that are fundamental for the assessment of environmental impacts: checklist method, ad hoc method and interaction matrix. Through the interaction matrix in the operation and deactivation phases and closure between activities and environmental components, it was possible to determine that the physical, biotic and anthropic environments suffer significant impacts, with 51 impacts being identified. The most significant impacts were: the inadequate disposal of solid waste and the burning of garbage. Among the main measures indicated, the construction of the sanitary landfill stands out as a measure to dispose of adequate solid waste, as well as not burning waste until the system is deactivated.
