dc.description.none.fl_txt_mv This research approaches the effects that the water quality of Rimac river has presented opposite to the development of the mining activity in San Mateo’s district of Huanchor located in Huarochirí’s province in Lima. The area of study is a zone where the mining polymetallic activity has developed from many decades behind approximately from the 30s, epoch in which there had not the current requirements of the environmental legal regulation and for such motive we have nowadays catalogued in the zone 21 environmental mining liabilities between mine entrance, tailing ponds and infrastructures seated on the banks of the Rimac water and of it’s principal tributaries like Blanco and Aruri rivers which nowadays are important sources of lixiviados to Rímac river water, due to the fact that they aren`t being handled by the private company and for the State. The quality water investigation has been developed in a series of time of ten years taking as bosses of analysis to the metallic ions; which have had a comparative analysis with the national and international legal environmental regulations such as the Standards of the World Health Organization, the Standards of Canada for Water of Irrigation, the General Law of Waters and the National Standards of Quality of the Water (ECAS) for the Category III passes by the Supreme Decree N.° 002-2008-MINAM, being the above mentioned the legal environmental decisive modal for the analysis of the quality of the water of the year 2008, since they constitute the ideal values that assure the quality of the water superficial resources of the country. We obtained from the analysis that the Cadmium, Lead, Manganese, Arsenic and Iron were the elements that had to receive a corrective treatment since their concentrations in Rimac water were bigger than the established in the standards of water quality. After obtaining these results the source was selected the source to treat and there chose as case of study the effluent end of Mining Company San Juan S.A, for being the mining company with major historical path in the zone and the one that has major capacity of production in San Mateo’s district; likewise because was observed that there was a major increase in the concentrations of the metallic ions in the Rimac water after receiving the final vertimento of the mentioned company, in comparison with other points of sampling that were presenting minor concentrations; for which had presented a technical economic offer based on the application of the technology HDS –Muds of high density for the treatment of the effluent end of Mining company San Juan for being the best technology used in the whole world for the treatment of effluent miners with content of lead, cadmium, arsenic, manganese and iron, and because it presents a level of efficiency that it allows to obtain effluent with the minimal concentrations of metals allowing that it`s unload to the body recipient should not cause any adverse effect in the components of the ecosystem, allowing to expire this way with the standards fixed by the current requirements of the environmental regulation. Then we had an objective to reduce the concentrations of the metallic elements in the Rimac water of San Mateo’s district and improve the current system of treatment of effluent miners of Mining Company San Juan, putting into practice a technology that offers the highest standards of environmental quality; benefiting this way the ecological balance and the quality of the waters Rimac river.
La tesis de investigación aborda los efectos que ha presentado la calidad del agua del río Rímac frente al desarrollo de la actividad minera en el distrito de San Mateo de Huanchor ubicado en la provincia de Huarochirí del departamento de Lima. El área de estudio es una zona donde la actividad minera polimetálica se ha desarrollado desde muchas décadas atrás aproximadamente desde los años 30, época en la cual no se tenían las actuales exigencias de la normativa ambiental legal y por tal motivo tenemos actualmente catalogados en la zona 21 pasivos ambientales mineros entre bocaminas, relaveras e infraestructuras asentados a orillas de las aguas del Rímac y de sus tributarios principales como son el río Blanco y el río Aruri, los cuales actualmente son fuentes aportantes de lixiviados a las aguas del río Rímac, debido a que no están siendo manejados ni por la empresa privada ni por el Estado. La investigación en la calidad del agua ha sido desarrollada en un tiempo de diez años, tomando como patrones de análisis a los iones metálicos; los cuales han tenido un análisis comparativo con las normativas legales ambientales tanto nacionales como internaciones tales como los Estándares de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, los Estándares de Canadá para Agua de Irrigación, la Ley General de Aguas y los Estándares Nacionales de Calidad del Agua (ECAS) para la Categoría III aprobados mediante Decreto Supremo N.° 002-2008-MINAM, siendo estos últimos el referente legal ambiental decisivo para el análisis de la calidad del agua del año 2008, ya que constituyen los valores óptimos que aseguran la calidad de los recursos hídricos superficiales del país. Del análisis se obtuvo que el cadmio, plomo, manganeso, arsénico y fierro eran los elementos que tenían que recibir un tratamiento correctivo, ya que sus concentraciones en las aguas del Rímac eran mayores a lo establecido en los estándares de calidad de agua. Luego de obtener estos resultados se seleccionó la fuente aportante a tratar y se eligió como caso de estudio el efluente final de Compañía Minera San Juan S.A, por ser la empresa minera con mayor trayectoria histórica en la zona y la que tiene mayor capacidad de producción en el distrito de San Mateo; asimismo, porque se observó que había un mayor incremento en las concentraciones de los iones metálicos en las aguas del Rímac luego de recibir el vertimiento final de la mencionada empresa, en comparación con otros puntos de muestreo que presentaban concentraciones menores; para lo cual se presentó una propuesta técnica económica basada en la aplicación de la tecnología HDS – Lodos de Alta Densidad para el tratamiento del efluente final de Compañía Minera San Juan por ser la mejor tecnología usada en todo el mundo para el tratamiento de efluentes mineros con contenido de plomo, cadmio, arsénico, manganeso y fierro, y porque presenta un nivel de eficiencia que permite obtener efluentes con las mínimas concentraciones de metales permitiendo que su descarga al cuerpo receptor no ocasione ningún efecto adverso en los componentes del ecosistema, permitiendo así cumplir con los estándares fijados por las actuales exigencias de la normativa ambiental. Con lo cual se tuvo como objetivo reducir las concentraciones de los elementos metálicos en las aguas del río Rímac del distrito de San Mateo y mejorar el actual sistema de tratamiento de efluentes mineros de Compañía Minera San Juan, poniendo en práctica una tecnología que ofrece los más altos estándares de calidad ambiental; beneficiando así el equilibrio ecológico y la calidad de las aguas del río Rímac.
