Cobertura final del ex basurero de San Carlos de Bariloche: evaluación de su estado actual y propuesta de rehabilitación

Abstract

This work contains unpublished and updated information to carry out direct actions against the problem of the garbage dump in San Carlos de Bariloche, and which constitutes a complete and concrete base study for the closure of the former garbage dump. The final disposal of waste is a problem in different cities of the world. The management of these includes different operations that allow a permanent and secure deposit. The open pit dump of the city of San Carlos de Bariloche was affected in 1985, in the area of an old quarry for the extraction of aggregates. The dump was active for a period of 30 years, until in 2015 it became its final closure. Among the different activities for its closure in 2015, the compaction of waste was carried out, the placement of a geomanta to limit the entry of rainwater and snow to the mass of waste and a layer of substrate suitable for sustenance for sustenance of the vegetation. However, the closure plan of the former dump does not continue with adequate revegetation work. For the final closure, the final coverage must be corrected and completed in order to cover the geomanta, provide the substrate (intermediate infiltration layer and soil layer suitable for maintaining vegetation), and establish the selected species.
