Diagnóstico da gestão de resíduos sólidos de uma PCH de competência de cooperativa de distribuição e geração de energia

Abstract

The small Hydroelectric Plants (PCHs) have become one of the main ways to meet the growing demand for electricity in Brazil The implementation of these plants brings us the importance of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), Law 12.305/2010, which provides for management principles of solid waste for undertakings that result in the generation of waste, providing for integrated management and actions that develop environmental quality in accordance with the appropriate legislation. Currently, the concern with what is done with the waste generated in small and large enterprises has only increased, with that comes the issue of solid waste management in civil construction enterprises, which, according to the Resolution of the National Council for the Environment (CONAMA) No. 307/2002, must strictly follow the standards required for the preparation of the Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS). The objective of this work was to carry out a study of the management of solid waste generated in a PCH, under the responsibility of the Energy Distribution and Generation Cooperative, which has been in operation since the year 2000, in order to propose the elaboration of the PGRS. Based on the diagnosis of the waste generated at the PCH, as well as the framework in the relevant environmental legislation for civil construction, it was possible to propose sustainable goals and actions for the correct segregation, storage, treatment and final disposal of the waste generated, for subsequent implementation of the PGRS PCH Solid Waste Management.
