Environmental Management to the sand extraction project of the Toa river basin.

Abstract

In order to determine the volume of sand, define the area of ​​impact and define the direction of extraction, identify the environmental impacts that make it possible to exploit and manage the available reserves in a sustainable environmental framework, an impact study was carried out with applied theoretical methods and Empirical, the scientific observation allowed to characterize the environmental baseline to describe the state of the environmental variables, identify the environmental impacts, propose the preventive, corrective and monitoring measures to mitigate them, the analysis of the cause-effect matrix and economic valuation. The tibaracón restoration is dynamic and renewable in the area, these sediments reach approximately 509 058m3 of the average annual removal rate that facilitate extraction. The study allows the exploitation of sand, if the preventive, corrective and monitoring measures that mitigate the environmental impacts to guarantee sustainable development are met.
