Evaluación económica ambiental de los impactos generados en la mina de carbón Galvis, ubicada en la vereda San Bernardo, municipio de La Uvita departamento de Boyacá.

Abstract

The area of Cañitas, located in the Vereda San Bernardo, municipality of La Uvita, Department of Boyacá, is an area that currently has great demand for natural resources, which come to activate the economy from activities mainly to the area Of the exploitation of different minerals under the underground technique of extraction of the same, mainly mineral Carboniferous present in different areas and/or land of a private nature. Due to these mining practices under the demand of natural resources will be carried out an identification and/or characterization and description of the different environmental impacts caused by the extractive activity of mineral Carboniferous, in order to assess The different impacts not internalized by the project to be executed. For this reason this technical document was made as an option of degree, where the application of the technical tool of environmental economic evaluation "EEA" towards the coal mine Galvis, where have been shown impacts in the different Environmental components, which are evident in positive and negative at the socioeconomic level, while at the environmental level, that is to say in the biotic and abiotic components are established in negative impacts by the different alterations of the Physical-chemical characteristics of selo, loss of plant cover, deterioration of water resources, decrease of flora and fauna erosive processes among many others. In this sense, under the identification of the non-internalized impacts and the projections of the same, the calculation and/or estimation of the total economic value "VET" and the cost benefit ratio "RBC" are reached in order to determine the viability of the activity of Extraction of coal in the Galvis mine, municipality of Uvita, Boyacá, from the technical tool of environmental economic Evaluation (EEA) proposed by the National Environmental Licensing Authority (ANLA), under the methodology proposed by the same entity Which is based on the techniques of applying application tools to economic activities. Where as a result obtained that the mining project obtained favorable viability in social terms so it was considered that from the social point of view, it is provided in a subsidiary way in the decision making on the viability of the project and it is said that this generates gains in social welfare, which was determined under the formulas proposed by the same primer.
