Sensors at the top of the shaft of the automatic meteorological station Entry control of waste (weight control)
|
Waste deposition is an activity that is subject to a set of controls that ensure both correct operations at the depot and safety in terms of the environmental impact. At the entrance of the facility, all waste is subjected to an access control that allows checking of its origins, types, characteristics and quantity (weight). These controls allow it to be ensured that the waste that is deposited at the facility is exclusively authorised waste. Also subject to control are the potential settling of the land and the mass of waste deposited via topographical signs installed with this aim, the quality of underground waters in the piezometric control network, the flow and chemical characteristics of the leachates formed, the concentration of methane and carbonic anhydride in the fermentation gases - biogas -, and weather conditions, amongst others. Each of these controls ensures that the depot's operation and all its auxiliary facilities achieve maximum levels of efficiency and safety with regard to the environment.
