Evaluación del impacto ambiental generado en la hacienda ganadera La Fortaleza del Porvenir

Abstract

In the facilities of the farm "La Fortaleza del Porvenir" the environmental impact assessment generated by the production was performed using a descriptive statistics based on sampling of waste waters the construction of a fixed stable was suggested to improve the handling of animals and the liquid and solid waste. The physical and chemical analyses of the water report biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 26.16 mg/l at the entrance and 232.50mg/l to the output; chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the entrance 22.00 mg71, and output of 182.56 mg/l; while the total solids of 266.78 ppm rises to 363.50 ppm. By performing an evaluation of modified Leopold matrices shows that the impacts caused by each individual operation, reach a final grade equal to a 3, which implies that the actions of the hacienda does not lead to a substantial alteration of the environment, and they are suitable in a short term, after the application of mitigation measures. In the case of environmental management plan, one of the factors to point out is the degradation of land for which it is desirable to re-establish the most damaged areas, improve management systems, and finally protection of sensitive areas. To reduce the impact caused by road conditions the recommendations in each of the points both of the initial study and the environmental plan should be followed.
