SELECCIÓN DE ÁREAS PROPICIAS PARA LA INSTALACIÓN DE RELLENOS SANITARIOS, PROVINCIA DE HEREDIA
Abstract
Durante la década de los años 90 Costa Rica tomó conciencia del problema que significa el mal manejo de los desechos sólidos. En la provincia de Heredia durante estos años se formó una comisión interinstitucional e intermunicipal con el objetivo de darle una solución integral provincial a esta problemática. La Universidad Nacional, a través de la Escuela de Ciencias Geográficas (Programa Morfoclimatología Aplicada y Dinámica Exógena, MADE), formó parte de esta comisión, para la cual realizó la primera etapa de un estudio tendiente a identificar los sitios óptimos para la instalación de un relleno sanitario provincial.
La metodología utilizada se basó en la que se desarrolló en el Plan Nacional de Manejo de Desechos elaborado por el Gobierno de Costa Rica y la GTZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit). Se identificaron cinco áreas técnicamente aptas, todas en el sector sur de la provincia, estas, dos presentan las condiciones menos adversas y, por lo tanto, consideran las áreas candidatas, estas se ubican al este de la provincia y son parte del cantón de San Isidro.
Se recomienda realizar los estudios de detalle, considerados indispensables. En este sentido, recientemente la Empresa de Servicios Públicos Heredia (ESPH) ha utilizado como base esta investigación para efectuar mencionados estudios.
ABSTRACT
During the 1990s, Costa Rica began concentrating on the problem of poor solid waste management. In the province of Heredia during these years, inter-institutional and inter-municipal commission was formed to seek integral solution to this problem at the province level. The Universic Nacional in Costa Rica, through the School of Geographical Sciences (Progr Morfoclimatología Aplicada y Dinámica Exógena, MADE), formed part of this commission and did a preliminary study in order to identify the optimum sites for installing a provincial sanitary refill.
The methodology used was based on the one developed in the National Waste Management Plan designed by the government of Costa Rica and German agency GTZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit ). Five technically suitable áreas were identified, all located in the southern sec of the province. Of these, two present less adverse conditions and therefore considered candidate áreas. These are located in the eastern part of this sector and are in the cantón of San Isidro.
Further detailed studies are recommended and are considered crucial, this sense, the Empresa de Servicios Públicos de Heredia (ESPH) has utilized this research as base study to perform the abo ve mentioned studies.
