El crecimiento de la población, la industrialización, las prácticas agrícolas y la urbanización aumentan la demanda de agua y, por lo tanto, la cantidad de aguas residuales generadas. El propósito de este documento es determinar los principales impactos ambientales de la construcción de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales del subsistema Pindo Chico en la ciudad del Puyo, Ecuador. Se recolectó información de línea base, mediante la implementación de listas de chequeo, y para la identificación y evaluación de impactos se confeccionó un diagrama de redes y se emplearon estructuras matriciales de doble entrada basadas en el sistema de Leopold original. Se analizaron siete actividades del proyecto y 12 componentes ambientales, y se determinaron 24 interacciones, de las cuales 11 fueron categorizadas como impactos ambientales significativos y dos muy significativos. El componente más afectado es la alteración del suelo, debido a la remoción de la cobertura vegetal, apertura de zanjas, creación de vías de acceso y construcción de la planta. Finalmente, se propusieron medidas correctivas en el plan de manejo ambiental para mitigar, prevenir y monitorear los impactos negativos que se generan.
The growth of the population, industrialization, agricultural practices and urbanization increases the demand for water and, therefore, the amount of waste water generated. The purpose of this paper is to determine the main environmental impacts of the wastewater treatment plant construction for the Pindo Chico subsystem in the Puyo city. Baseline information was collected by checklists, and for the identification and evaluation of impacts, a network diagram was made and double-entry matrix structures based on the original Leopold system were used. Seven project activities and 12 environmental components were analyzed, a total of the 24 interactions were determined, of which 11 were categorized as significant and two very significant environmental impacts. The most affected component is the soil alteration, due to the vegetation cover removal, the ditches opening, the access routes creation, and the plant construction. Finally, corrective measures in an environmental management plan have been proposed to mitigate, prevent and monitoring the negative impacts they are generated.
