Selección primaria de zonas para la construcción de sitios de disposición final de residuos sólidos urbanos y de manejo especial Caso de estudio: Municipios del Estado de México

Abstract

The model for the adequate selection of a site for final disposition of Solid Waste (SW) that is shown in this paper has been developed on basis of the set of restrictions established by the Mexican norm NOM-083-SEMARNAT-2003. Its objective is create a environmental planning instrument to support the selection, in the first stage of study, about some adequate areas dedicated to construct final disposition sites for urban (SW) and special waste (industrial waste non-hazardous).
In this study is also analyzed each one of the elements that integrate the whole system of restrictions, the sources of information required and it is established criteria for classification of sites with basis of the Official Mexican Norm indicated. From this information is generated an application model that process the cartographic information in order to generate a GIS that allows to determine a set of areas that, in principle, not violating any restriction indicated in that norm, furthermore zones in which some restrictions appear and other ones where it is necessary to carry out more technical studies to determine its potential situation to be used as sites for SW final disposal. Also a case of application in the Valley of Toluca, México is shown.
