Informe Final de Pasantía Desarrollada Como Apoyo de Ingeniería Ambiental en la Empresa Ciprodyser S.A.S.

Abstract

In Colombia, coal mining is one of the major contributors to its economy, as it is one of the largest producers in Latin America. As a result, the department of Boyacá has one of the richest deposits of this sedimentary rock, which provides livelihoods for many residents. However, this region must comply with environmental and legal regulations and obligations that allow its proper functioning. For this reason, this professional practice report describes the development of the different environmental activities carried out within the company Ciprodyser S.A.S., where the main objective was to structure the Environmental Management System and support the updating of documents requested by the corporation of Boyacá, as well as the development and implementation of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. For this purpose, a theoretical-practical methodology was implemented, consisting of three stages. In the first stage, the environmental department was accompanied, focusing on the supervision of water resources and the coordination of complementary activities. In the second stage, an environmental documentation matrix was prepared and reports were updated, and finally, in the third stage, the formulation and implementation of the integrated management plan for hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste was carried out, which required the planning and development of environmental education activities. Finally, 700 hours of work were completed in 4 months, during which the objectives were met.
