Índices ambientales para la evaluación de los sitios de disposición final de acuerdo a la NOM-083-SEMARNAT-2003

Abstract

In Mexico the landfills, represents an option both economic and ecologically viable for the final disposal of the urban solid waste (USW), from there that to achieve the better operation of these sites, is necessary to assure the fulfillment of the Mexican Official Norm (MON): NOM-083-SEMARNAT-2003 that refers to the specifications of environmental protection during the phases of selection, design operation and closure of a site. The present work proposes the use of environmental indices based on the specifications that establishes the norm to evaluate the sites of final disposal (SFD) closed or active, based on the Multiple Attributes Decisions Theory as theoretical base and the conception of two mathematical models, for conform the model of evaluation; this model permits to qualify the SFD in a form efficient and numerical scale to detect the infringement of the norm in the sites and then to apply the norm. The Indices of Evaluation of SFD (IESFD) are excellent tool that will permit to take decisions for the fulfillment of the norm.
