Diseño de una guía para el manejo de residuos sólidos de la fase operativa en el Aeropuerto Lago Agrio

Abstract

The inadequate disposal of solid waste causes various problems in water, soil and air pollution. At the Lago Agrio airport, the solid waste generated in the facilities is transferred to a temporarily container without any sort of classification, until it is removed by the Municipal GAD of Nueva Loja. The general objective of this study was to design a guide for the management of solid waste that is processed at the airport, through the analysis of the processes carried out for its correct management. The first step was to characterize and analyze the information on the study area, description of the collection processes, classification, and final disposal of the solid waste generated, then identify current practices for waste management, verify applicable legal compliance, in order to structure a solid waste management guide for the airport. From the analysis of the results, optimal storage sites were obtained in the generation areas, as well as information regarding the degree of knowledge on the proper management of solid waste, both for administrative and technical personnel, established in the Environmental Management Plan of 2013, currently in force. Finally, the guidelines will be reached to develop the solid waste management guide, establishing those responsible, records and means of verification that are adequate for its proper execution. This instrument will serve for the country's airports that maintain the same infrastructure and operation as the one analyzed.
