Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA DECRETA NATION:

Article 1 - The activities of the generation, manipulation, transport, treatment and final disposition of hazardous waste, developed by natural and/or legal persons, are subject to the provisions of Act No. 24.051 and these Regulations, in the following cases:

1 - Where such activities are carried out in places under national jurisdiction.

2- When it comes to waste that, located in the territory of a province, should be transported outside it, either by land, by an inter-provincial watercourse, by national waterways or by any other means, still accidental, such as the action of the wind or other phenomenon of nature.

3 - When it comes to waste that, located in the territory of a province, could directly or indirectly affect people or the environment beyond the local jurisdiction in which they were generated.

4 - Where the implementing authority provides for hygiene and/or safety measures whose economic impact advises to standardize them throughout the national territory in order to ensure their effective compliance by those administered, in accordance with the legal standards set out in Act No. 24,051.

Art. 2° - Hazardous waste is defined in article 2 of the law.

With regard to the categories, characteristics and operations of the hazardous wastes set out in Annexes I and II of Act No. 24,051, and in accordance with the terms of reference contained in article 64 of the Act, the Implementation Authority shall issue such amendments or incorporations as it deems necessary, and shall issue them on an annual basis, except when in extraordinary cases and for substantial reasons to do so in shorter periods.

Law 24.051 and these regulations will also apply to hazardous wastes that may be considered inputs (Annex I, Glossary) for other industrial processes.

Annex IV to the present decree determines how to identify a residue as dangerous, in accordance with Annexes I and II of Law 24.051.

Article 3 of the Act does not include sealed sources of radioactive material exported for medicinal or industrial use, where there is a contractual obligation to return them to the exporter.

The National Customs Administration will monitor the implementation of the Act in respect of its Article 3 in the area of its competence.

When there are doubts of the National Customs Administration regarding the categorization or characterization of a residue, the proceedings will be turned to the Secretariat of Natural Resources and Human Environment, for the purpose of which it is expiated by express act in a period not exceeding TEN (10) working days counted from its reception.

Art. 4° - The holders of the activities referred to in article 1 of the Act, whether natural or legal, public or private, shall register with the National Registry of Hazardous Waste Generators and Operators, which shall chronologically carry the SECRETARIAT OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES HUMAN, enclosing in it the relevant registration, renewal and application for descent.

In relation to the provisions of article 14, the Enforcement Authority shall proceed to categorize the generators of hazardous wastes by enforcing each of the obligations provided by the Law, in accordance with the degree of danger of their residues.

The Application Authority shall, within a period not exceeding CIENTO VEINTE (120) business days, counted from the date of publication of this decree, the National Registry of Generators and Operators of Dangerous Wastes.

Art. 5o - The holders of the activities referred to in Article 1 of the Act must process their registration in the Register specified in Article 4 and comply with the requirements of the present, as a precondition for obtaining the Annual Environmental Certificate.

This certificate will be the administrative instrument by which generators, carriers and operators will be enabled for the handling, treatment, transport and disposal of hazardous wastes.

The Annual Environmental Certificate will be extended exclusively to the industrial process or declared system for obtaining it. Any modification that occurs in the process, must be informed to the Implementation Authority, who in case of objections, shall decide whether the modification introduced is environmentally correct or not. In the event that the objection is not met or that a change is made without prior authorization, the penalties set out in Art. (a), (b), (c) and (d) shall be progressively applied. 49 of the Law, until those responsible conform to the indications given to them.

The variations that are projected in the processes, either by changes in the applied technology, in the debugger installations, in the load or discharge, or in the transport, or in the final products obtained or treatments of hazardous waste, in respect of what is authorized, will be informed to the Authority of Application, within a no greater period of CINCO (5) working days, prior to its effective concretion.

When the industry, transport company, treatment plant or final disposition, do not undergo process modifications, those responsible will limit themselves to informing that circumstance to the Application Authority at the time of renewal of their Annual Environmental Certificate.

Art. 6° - SECRETARIAT OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES HUMANO will proceed to evaluate the information and data provided and, if they comply with the requirements, will issue the corresponding certificate within the NOVENTA (90) corrected days, counted from the respective filing date.

Art. 7° - The Annual Environmental Certificate shall be granted by Resolution of the Implementation Authority, which shall establish the internal procedures to which such award shall be adjusted.

The granting of the first environmental certificates to existing industries shall be subject to compliance with article 8 of the Act.

Art. 8° - The generating industries, treatment plants, final disposition and transport of hazardous wastes to be carried out must obtain the Environmental Certificate within the OCHENTA (180) days counted from the opening date of the Register.

After such a period of time, the installations of any establishment shall not be enabled or permitted until they meet the requirements of the Implementation Authority, which may, for the sole time, extend the period as provided for in article 8 of the Act.

The Applicable Authority or the local authority that corresponds by jurisdiction shall publish by edicts the deadlines given to those required to register in the Register, who shall submit the documentation required to obtain the registration. The Implementation Authority shall establish a timetable per item, activity, geographical area and other data as it deems necessary in order to facilitate the corresponding administrative and control system.

Art. 9° - SECRETARIAT OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES HUMANO is empowered to reject the application for registration in the Register, suspend, cancel or disqualify the Register, when the technical information available to it, allows it to assume that there could be passive situations of sanction in the terms of chapter VIII (articles 49 to 54) of Law 24.051.

In all cases, the provisions of article 9 of the Act shall apply.

The Implementation Authority is empowered to act on its own, inscribing and enforcing legal and regulatory obligations, even if generators, carriers and/or "plants of disposal" of hazardous waste had not complied with the registration in the respective registries and, consequently, do not have the corresponding certificate.

Art. 10. - Unregulated.

Art. 11. - Unregulated.

Art. 12. - The "Manifesto" is the document accompanying the transfer, treatment and any other operation related to hazardous waste at all stages.

The Application Authority will design a model of affidavit type, called "Transport Manifesto" to be completed by interested parties at your request.

The generator is responsible for issuing the manifesto, which will be issued on preprinted forms, with original and five copies.

The Application Authority, at the beginning of the circuit, will have the original to fill the generator, which will take five copies to complete the rest of the cycle. The carrier will deliver a signed copy of its "manift" to the generator, to each of the subsequent stages and to the prosecutor. The operator will carry a record of the entire operation with copy for the generator and the Application Authority.

Each of the documents will indicate to the last record holder (generator - carrier - treatment / final disposition - Authority of Application).

When the cycle is closed, the Application Authority must have the mentioned original and a copy to be delivered by the operator.

Art. 13. - The manifestos, in addition to the provisions of article 13 of the Act, must accompany a road map and emergency action plans.

Such routes shall be established by the local authority of each district, who shall determine alternative routes in case of impossibility of passing through the main ones.

If you wish to travel through other routes, the interested party will present to the local authority its concern, who will approve or not such a proposal, contemplating the minimization of risk of transporting hazardous wastes. In the period of COUNTRY AND OCHO (48) working hours the SECRETARIAT OF NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES HUMAN will inform the interested party of the procedure to follow.

The serial number of the document is the one that will give the SECRETARIAT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND HUMAN ENVIRONMENT. This number will be made up of the generator registration number and the corresponding number to the "manifest" (or operation of the moment).

Whenever hazardous wastes are to be transported from the plant that produces them to the place of treatment or final disposition, the generator must fill the "manift" and remove the copies to carry the transfer to the rest of the circuit (article 12).

The Implementation Authority shall establish the time limit for the closing of the circuit, which shall occur with the delivery of the operator's copy to the Application Authority.

This period shall be established taking into account the circumstances of the case (time of transport, kind of waste, etc.). If the time limit cannot be met, the generator will notify the SECRETARIAT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND HUMAN ENVIRONMENT, who may extend it for a period not exceeding the period initially fixed.

Art. 14. - Any natural or legal person who generates waste, as a result of his or her actions or of any process, operation or activity, is obliged to verify whether they are qualified as hazardous under the terms of section 2 of Law 24.051, in accordance with the procedure established by the Authority of Application.

If the Enforcement Authority detects false or concealment of information by natural or legal persons in compliance with article 14 of Law 24.051 and of this regulation, it shall act in accordance with article 9 of the Act, without prejudice to the application of the provisions of articles 49, 50, 51, 55, 56 and/or 57, as appropriate.

The following generator categories are set out in relation to the regulations in articles 4 and 16:

1) Low-dangered Waste Generators Low-dangered Solids: These are low-danger waste generators that accumulate a lesser amount of waste than CIEN (100) Kg. per calendar month referred to the "West Average" of the last SEIS (6) months, with a tolerance of TEN BY SCIENT (10 %) on the calculated.

2) Median Waste Generators Low Hazardous Solid Wastes: These are low-hazard waste generators that match CIEN (100) and MIL (1000) Kg. of such wastes per calendar month referred to the "West Average" of the last SEIS (6) months, with a tolerance of TEN BY SCIENT (10 %) on the calculated.

3) Great Low-Danger Solid Waste Generators: These are low-hazard waste generators that accumulate a greater amount of MIL (1000) Kg. of such wastes per calendar month referred to the "West Average" of the last SEIS (6) months, with a tolerance of TEN BY SCIENT (10 %) on the calculated.

4) Generators of High Hazardous Solid Wastes: These are those generators of high-risk waste that accumulate a quantity of waste less than 1 Kg. of such waste per calendar month referred to the "Weighed Average" of the last SEIS (6) months, with a tolerance of DOS FOR SCIENT (2 %).

1 - Average use of the activity on the basis of which hazardous waste is generated (UP in pesos), the generator will frame its activity according to the use of the activity guide provided in the United Nations International Industrial Activity Code (IU).

2 - Hazardous Waste Generation Factor calculated according to:

(a) Total amount of hazardous waste generated as a result of the execution of the activity defined at the preceding point during the immediate year prior to the date of the declaration.

i = type of dangerous residue.

h = year to which the declaration corresponds.

CTRP (h) = - RP (y, h)

(b) Total amount of hazardous wastes generated as a result of the execution of the activity defined in the preceding point during the immediate year prior to the date of the declaration, effectively used as inputs for other industrial processes or subject to Rl to R10 operations explained in Annex III, Section B, of Law 24.051.

i = type of dangerous residue effectively used.

h = year corresponding to the statement.

CTRPEU (h) = - RPEU (i, h) 

 i 

(c) Total amount of raw materials and inputs (except water and fossil fuels) used for the implementation of the activity defined in point I during the immediate year prior to the date of the declaration.

i = type of raw material and insumption.

h = year corresponding to the statement.

CTMI (h) = - MI (i, h) 

 i 

(d) The generation factor will then result from the application of the following algorithm:

FG (h) = CTRP (h) - CTRPEU (h) * CTMI(h-1) 

 CTRP (h-1) - CTRPEU CTMI (h) 
(h-1) 

3 - The first rate of Evaluation and Control shall be equal to 0.5 % of the annual profit of the activity as a result of which hazardous wastes are generated which give rise to the request for registration in the Register of Hazardous Waste Generators and Operators. The following formula will be used for the following years:

h = year of presentation

TEF(h) % = 0.5 * FG (h).

4- The quantities of hazardous wastes referred to in the above points will be recorded in tons.

For each hazardous waste stream i, it will be indicated:

(a) If it is solid: quantity in Tn, specifying the characteristic of danger and concentration of specific dangerous constituent.

(b) If it is a clay: quantity in Tn, specifying the amount of humidity, the characteristic of dangers and/or the concentration of specific dangerous constituents.

(c) If it is liquid: quantity in Tn, specifying density, hazard characteristic and/or specific hazardous constituent concentration.

5 - The assessment and control rate will have a maximum value equal to 1% of the annual profit of the activity resulting from which hazardous waste is generated.

Treatment plants and final disposal of hazardous waste are considered generators. The formula to be used to calculate the amount of the assessment and control rate will be developed considering the characteristics of the hazardous wastes they treat.

Art. 17. - Together with the registration in the Register of Hazardous Waste Generators, the generator must present a plan for progressive reduction of the generation of its wastes, while such a plan is feasible and technically reasonable for environmentally sound management of the same.

In addition, the plan should include the technological alternatives under study and their influence on the future generation of hazardous wastes.

Any violation of the above provisions shall be repressed by the Enforcement Authority, with the penalties set out in article 49 of the Act.

In cases where the transport of hazardous material is carried out by water, the appropriate Naval Authority shall be accordingly.

Art. 30. - The competent authority will publish circulation routes and transfer areas, once designated.

It is compulsory to attach the route to the "Manifesto" (article 13 of the present).

Art. 31. - Unregulated.

Art. 32. - Unregulated.

Art. 33. - It must be understood by "final provision" as determined in Annex I (glossary), item 9.

The operator is responsible for the full operation of a facility or plant for the final treatment and/or disposal of hazardous waste.

Generators who perform treatments: it is given in cases where the generator performs the treatment and/or disposal of its hazardous wastes. It must comply with the requirements set out in Chapters IV and VI of the Law and their respective regulations.

The procedures for establishing the limit for the discharge and/or emission of treatment plants and final disposition are as follows:

- The receiving bodies (Annex I, glossary) will be classified by the Application Authority according to the present and future uses of the same, within the maximum period of THREE (3) years, extended by DOS (2) years more when special circumstances so require.

- The Implementation Authority will develop, select and establish environmental quality guiding levels (Annex I, glossary) to determine environmental quality standards. These payrolls of dangerous constituents will be expanded by the Implementation Authority as relevant information is available.

The Application Authority will review environmental quality standards with a non-DOS periodicity (2) years, always depending on minimizing emissions.

To that end, consideration will be given to international and national developments in the transport, destination and impact of hazardous waste on the environment.

The guiding levels of air quality will indicate the concentration of contaminants resulting from the treatment of hazardous wastes for a defined and measured lapse at soil level ( 1.2 m) below which and according to the available information, the risks to health and the environment are considered minimal.

Also, if the company emits other hazardous substances not included in the Table as a result of the activity, it must request the App Authority to define the corresponding guiding value.

- For the guiding levels of freshwater source of water supply of human consumption with advanced treatment, will be taken corresponding to those of water sources for human consumption with conventional treatment, multiplied by a factor of TEN (10).

- The guiding levels of hazardous water quality constituents for industrial use will be based on the industrial process for which they are intended.

In the event that water is used in food production processes, the guiding levels of toxic constituents will be the same as those of drinking water source with conventional treatment.

For other industrial uses (spray generation, cooling, etc.) the guiding levels of water quality will correspond to constituents that belong to the following dangerous categories: corrosive, explosive, flammable and oxidant.

- The water quality guiding levels for surface and subterranean receptor bodies will be the same to the extent that the salty uses and tenor (sweet and saltwaters) coincide, with the exception of those regarding the use for the development of aquatic life and fishing, which will only have guiding levels of surface water quality.

- The Application Authority shall establish environmental quality standards within a no greater time limit of OCHENTA (180) days from the date of classification of the receiving bodies referred to in Article 33, paragraph 5, for emissions (Annex I, glossary) for specific places of final disposition. The same will be revised with a non-overdue periodicity of DOS (2) years, depending on the advances in the knowledge of the responses of the physical and biological environment, in order to minimize the impact on the different ecosystems in the short, medium and long term.

- The environmental quality objectives for emissions affecting the receiving bodies (waters and soils) subject to sanitation and recovery shall be established by the Implementation Authority within the time limit of SCIENTO OCHENTA (180) days from the date on which environmental quality standards are established, and based on the assessments it undertakes to achieve the appropriate quality levels for the development of ecosystems according to sanitation and recovery programmes.

- The Implementation Authority will establish environmental quality standards (Annex I, glossary), which will be revised with a periodicity not exceeding DOS (2) years, depending on the revisions of environmental quality objectives and the technological advances of treatment and final disposition of emissions.

For the initial stage they are established as standards of gaseous emissions of dangerous constituents, those presented in Table of Annex II. For the establishment of water quality standards for discharges from the treatment of hazardous waste, the Application Authority will use the procedure specified in Annex III.

The gaseous emissions standards set out in Annex II are set for the purpose of ensuring that in the area around the treatment plants and/or final disposal of hazardous wastes, the guiding levels of air quality are met and assuming that the concentration in the ambient air of each of the indicated pollutants is zero or natural concentration of background, prior to the entry into operation of the treatment plant and/or final disposition.

For the establishment of water quality standards from the treatment of hazardous waste, the Application Authority will use the procedure specified in Annex III to the present.

5. - It should be shown that there will be no migration of the injected material from the permitted Receptor area during the period that the residue preserves its risk characteristics.

WE MINITE REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIAL DISEIGNED RELLENS.

1. They may not be available in fillings of this type of waste with one or more of the following characteristics, without prior treatment:

(a) Wastes with free fluid content (E.P.A. Test - Federal Register Vol. 47 No. 38 - Proposed Rules - Year.

(b) Wastes containing contaminants that can be easily transported by air.

(c) Wastes that can be spilled at room temperature.

(d) Wastes that present high solubility in water (over 20% in weight).

(e) Wastes that present a "flash point" below 60°C.

(f) Wastes that have as constituent any substance of the tetra group, penta and hexa chlorine dibenzoparadioxins, tetra, penta and hexo chlorine dibenzofuranos tri, tetra and penta chlorophenoles and their chlorophenoxide derivatives.

2. They will not be available in the same cell within a filling of this type, residues that can produce adverse reactions among themselves such as:

(a) Extreme generation of heat or pressure, fire or explosion or violent reactions.

(b) Uncontrolled production of emanations, vapors, fogs, dust or toxic gases.

(c) Uncontrolled production of flammable emanations or gases.

(d) Damage to the structural integrity of containment facilities.

3. The filler's forward front must be kept permanently covered. Coverage must totally prevent the infiltration of rainwater, for which it will consist at least of the following layers (from top to bottom):

(a) A layer of plant soil that allows the growth of vegetation.

(b) A filter layer.

(c) A draining layer.

(d) Two layers of low permeability materials.

(e) A soil layer to correct and pair the surface of the waste.

A Safety Fill is a method of final disposal of waste, which maximizes its stagnation through natural barriers and/or barriers placed by man, in order to minimize the possibility of affecting the medium.

For certain residues, non-processable, non-recyclable, non-fuel, or residual of other procedures (such as incineration ashes), which still retain risk characteristics, the Safety Filling is the most acceptable method of disposal.

I) Main restrictions on the Final Provision of Hazardous Wastes in a Security Fill.

- Whether they are treated wastes, such as those that do not require pre-treatment, they cannot be disposed of in a Security Filling if they contain a significant volume of free fluids. In all cases you will have to pass the "Filter of Painting" test (see Annex I).

- They cannot be disposed of in a Safety Fill without prior treatment, those residues included in cases such as those that follow, for example:

1 - Products or mixture of products that possess chemical or physicochemical properties that allow you to penetrate and spread through the technical means intended to contain them (synthetic membranes, waterproof soils, etc.).

2 - No residue, or mixture of them, containing contaminants that can be easily transported by the air.

3 - No residue, or mixture of them, that can be shed at room temperature.

4 - Residues, or mixture of them, that present high solubility in water (over 20% in weight).

5 - Wastes containing contaminants that can be highly soluble in water, unless they are specially covered by appropriate components so that when reacting on site reduce their solubility.

6 - Wastes that present a Flash Point below 60°C.

7 - Organic compounds not hazardous or potentially dangerous halogens, characterized basically by cyclic, heterocyclic, aromatic, polynuclear and/or unsaturated chain compounds.

8 - Halogenated organic compounds and all their derivatives.

The necessary prior treatment, to which reference is made, is intended to physically, chemically or biologically transform residue to minimize the risks of manipuleus and final disposition.

- Inconsistent residues, they should not be placed in the same cell within a Security Fill, unless appropriate precautions are taken to avoid adverse reactions (see annex 2). Example of adverse reactions:

- extreme generation of heat or pressure, fire or explosion, or violent reactions.

- uncontrolled production of emanations, vapors or fogs, dust or toxic gases in sufficient quantity to affect the Health and/or the environment.

- uncontrolled production of flammable emanations or gases in sufficient quantity to constitute a risk of combustion and/or explosion.

- damage to the structural integrity of the containment facilities.

- other means of affecting health and/or the environment.

In addition, the E. P. A. (40 CFR-264.317), establishes special requirements for the Wastes designated as: FO20, FO21, FO22, FO23, FO26, FO27. (see Annex 3).

II) Impermeabilization of base and slopes; drainages.

In order to avoid the migration of contaminants to the subsoil and groundwater, a Security Filling must possess:

A) Barrels of very low permeability material covering the background and lateral slopes.

B) Draining caps to collect and drive unwanted flows.

This combination of low permeability barriers used can be:

- Compacted soils of low permeability: existing naturally or well achieved based on mixtures with bentonite.

- Geomembranes: They are low permeability membranes used as fluid barriers.

Geomembranes used in the management of hazardous waste are synthetic membranes.

By definition a membrane is a thin thickness material compared to the other dimensions, and flexible.

Typical examples of geomembrane used in hazardous waste management include: HDPE, (high density polyethylene); LLDPE (low density polyethylene); PVC (polyvinyl geomembrane); CSPE (clorosulfonated polyethylene).

High permeability materials used to build draining layers include: high permeability soils, synthetic drainage materials, and pipelines.

- Double and compound waterproofing systems.

A double system of waterproofing is that composed of two coatings of low permeability materials and that has a system of collection and removal between both coatings.

A system composed of waterproofing is that made up of two or more components of low permeability, formed by different materials in direct contact with each other. A composite system does not constitute a double system since it does not have an intermediate system of collection and liquid removal between both components of low permeability.

The double waterproofing system maximizes the ability to collect and remove liquids.

The upper and lower coatings, together with the collection and removal system (SCR) above the upper coating, and the detection, collection and removal system (SDCR) located between the two coatings, act in an integrated manner to prevent the migration of liquids and facilitate their collection and removal.

III) Design requirement.

The sealing of a safety filler must be ensured by a double waterproofing system, consisting of two or more low permeability coatings and collection and extraction systems of percolates: SCR (top coating), and SDCR (between both coatings).

The minimum conditions may indicate:

The "minimum technological requirements" specified by the U.S. EPA for new surface safety fillers and reservoirs requires a double waterproofing system with a system of collection and extraction of liquids (SCR) and a system of detection, collection and removal (SDCR) between both waterproof layers.

The minimum technology requirements guide identifies two acceptable double waterproofing systems:

(a) Two geomembrane coatings (Fig. 1) with a minimum thickness of 30,000 (0.76 mm) for each.

If the geomembrane is exposed and is not covered during the construction stage within less than three months, the thickness should be equal to or greater than 45,000 (1.15 mm).

The guide indicates that thicknesses from 60,000 to 100,000 (1.52 to 2.54 mm) could be required to resist different conditions.

In any case the engineering design should contemplate that some synthetic materials might need greater thicknesses to prevent faults or to conform to the requirements of welding between geomembrane cloths.

The chemical compatibility of geosynthetic materials with wastes to deposit should be tested using the EPA Method 9090.

(b) The lower coating (Fig. 2), which replaces the second membrane, may be made up of low permeability soil. The soil thickness (which acts as a second waterproof layer) depends on the site and specific design conditions, however it should not be less than 36 inch (90 cm) with a KF less or equal to 1x10 cm/sec.

The upper membrane has to comply with the same minimum recommendations regarding chemical thickness and compatibility as mentioned in a).

In all cases the coatings must meet the following requirements:

(1) Be designed, built and installed in such a way as to prevent any migration of waste outside the reservoir to the adjacent subsoil, to the groundwater or to surface waters at any time of the active life of the repository including the closing period.

(2) The coatings must be made up of materials that prevent waste from migrating through them throughout the active life of the repository including the closing period.

Any coating must comply with the following:

(a) Being built with materials that possess adequate chemical resistance properties, and sufficient mechanical resistance and thickness to avoid faults due to: pressure gradients (including hydrostatic loads and external hydrogeological loads); physical contact with waste or lixiviated to which it will be exposed; to climatic conditions; to installation efforts and conditions originated by the daily operation.

(b) Being installed on a foundation or base capable of providing support to the coating and resistance to pressure gradients that could act above and below the coating, in order to avoid collapse of the coating caused by settlement, compression or subpression.

As for draining layers (SDCR and SCR) they must be constructed by materials that are:

(a) Chemically resistant to waste deposited in the safety fill and the expected smoothing will be generated.

(b) Sufficient resistance and thickness to avoid collapse under pressure exerted by: waste deposited, coverage materials and any equipment used in the filling operation.

(c) Designed and operated to work without obstructions.

(d) Draining layers should be suitable for quickly collect and remove liquids entering SDCR and SCR systems.

(e) In case of using high permeability soils as a draining layer, the same should not damage the geomembrans in the event that they are in direct contact with these soils.

(f) The draining layer must be physically compatible with transition materials in order to prevent any potential migration from the transition material to the draining layer.

IV. Higher coverage

Top coverage is the final component in building a security filling.

Constitutes the final protective cover of deposited waste once the filling has been completed.

Coverage should be designed to minimize rainwater infiltration, thus minimizing liquid migration and the formation of lixivites.

A multilayer system must be designed and built.

In general this system should include (from top to bottom):

- A layer of plant soil to allow growth of vegetation, favoring evapotranspiration and avoiding erosion.

- A filter layer to avoid obstruction with material from the underlying draining layer.

- A draining layer.

- A layer composed of two materials of low permeability, for example: a geomembrane (in thickness not less than 20,000 i.e. 0.51 mm. ) plus a layer of low permeability soil.

- A soil layer to correct and pair the surface of the waste.

This is completed with suitable slopes to minimize infiltration and direct surface runoff by removing rainwater to perimeter fillers.

MINIMOS REQUIREMENTS FOR INCINERATION

(a) Glossary

(b) Classification of receptor bodies

GLOSARIO

1 - ACUIFERO: Geological formation, or group of formations, or part of a formation, able to accumulate a significant amount of groundwater, which can spring, or can be extracted for consumption.

2 - CONFINTED CODE: It is a limited aquifer superior and inferiorly by impermeable strata or by layers of permeability clearly lower than that of the aquifer itself.

3 - SUBTERRANEA WATER: Water under the ground surface in a saturation area, where the empty spaces of the ground are filled with water.

4 - ALMACENAMIENTO: It implies the possession of hazardous waste for a temporary period at the end of which these will be treated, disposed or stored elsewhere.

5 - BARROS: It includes any solid, semisolid or liquid residue generated in a wastewater treatment plant, whether municipal, provincial or national or industrial, water purification plant for consumption, or gaseous effluent pollution control facility. The treated effluent of the wastewater treatment plant is not considered included.

6 - CONTENTION: It refers to any container in which a material is stored, transported, or manipulated in some way.

7 - RECEPTOR BODY: It is the ecosystem where hazardous wastes already treated as a result of disposal operations have or can have final destination. Surface freshwater, atmosphere, soils, stable and confined geological structures are receiving bodies.

For the purposes of this law, the receiving bodies shall not be considered treatment plants or final disposition.

8 - SUJECT RECEPTOR FOR SAINTING AND RESUPERATION: It is that receiving body whose natural conditions have been modified, making it inappropriate for the preservation and development of organisms, due to anthropogenic pollution for which sanitation and recovery programmes have been established or planned.

9 - FINAL PROVISION: Any hazardous waste disposal operation that involves the incorporation of the same into the receiving bodies, is understood by final provision.

Final provisions constitute the following disposal operations (Annex III-A of the Law):

- Permanent deposit inside or on earth (D1).

- Deep injection (D3).

- Surface packaging (D4).

- Specially designed fillings (D5).

- Fresh water extension (D6).

- Permanent deposit (D12).

- The discharges and emissions resulting from treatment, recycling, regeneration and reuse of hazardous waste.

DISCARGA, EMISION:

It indicates a situation in which the substances (solids, liquids or gaseous) previously treated and thus complying with the limiting conditions of discharge, can enter the environment directly, as their new characteristics and/or composition do not imply a risk of contamination.

VOLCADO:

It indicates intentional situations in which hazardous substances or wastes are put directly into contact with the environment, which may result in a health and/or environmental impact.

FUGA, ESCAPE, DERRAME:

It indicates accidental situations in which a hazardous substance or residue or not has the possibility of entering the environment directly.

10 - SUPERFICIAL EMBALSE: Installation or part of an installation which is made up of a natural topographic depression, is deliberately excavated, or is formed by indicating an area, formed mainly of waterproofed tea materials (it can nevertheless be waterproofed with synthetic materials), which is designed to contain a build-up of liquid residues or residues containing free liquids. It's not an injection well. Examples: cavas, ponds or storage, sedimentation and aereation lagoons.

11 - ENCAPSULATION: Technique to isolate a mass of waste. It implies the complete coating or isolation of a toxic particle or agglomeration of waste by using a different substance such as additive or ligant used in Solidification and Stabilization.

MICROENCAPSULATE: It is the encapsulation of individual particles;

MACROENCAPSULATE: It is the encapsulation of an agglomeration of particles, waste or agglomeration of microencapsulate materials.

12 - STABILIZATION: Method of waste treatment that limits the solubility of pollutants, removes the toxic or its toxic effect and physical characteristics may be or may not be improved. In this procedure residue is changed to a chemically more stable form. The term includes the use of a chemical reaction to transform the toxic component into a new non-toxic compound. Solidification is also included in this technique. Biological processes are not included.

13 - STANDING OF QUALITY ENVIRONMENTAL: Numerical value or narrative statement that has been established as limit to discharges and emissions of hazardous wastes to a receiving body in a given place, calculated according to the objectives of environmental quality and the particular characteristics of the receiving body in the given place.

14 - WHO FIJATION: It means solidification or stabilization.

15 - GENERADOR: A natural or legal person whose action or process makes it passable to be subject to this law, either because the waste it generates is included in the identification of hazardous waste or by the amount generated.

16 - INCINERATION: It is a process of thermal oxidation at high temperature in which hazardous wastes are converted, in the presence of oxygen, into incombustible solid gases and residuals. The gases generated are emitted to the atmosphere prior cleaning of gases and solid wastes are deposited in a safety filling.

17 - INSUMO: As to the provisions of the Law and the present, consider insumption of all raw materials used in the production of other goods as well as those hazardous wastes that may be involved in industrial processes.

18 - LIQUIDOS LIBRES: They are the liquids that quickly separate from the solid part of a residue in environmental conditions of pressure and temperature.

19 - LIMITE DEL PERMISO DE VERTIDO/EMISION: Numerical value or narrative statement established as a limit to a dumping of hazardous wastes in your Permission of Vertido, depending on the corresponding objectives and quality standards.

20 - LIXIVIATE: It refers to any liquid and its components in suspension, which has percolated or drained through the mass of waste.

Where this Regulation refers to the Crom element, referring to the quality of water for human drink or to the lixivites that may contaminate surface or groundwater sources, it shall be understood that the same corresponds to the state of valence 6 (six) (hexavalent); when not expressly specified.

21 - MANEJO: It is systematic control of the collection, separation from the source, storage, transport, processing, treatment, recovery and final disposal of hazardous wastes.

22 - LEVEL GUIDE OF QUALITY AMBIENTAL: Numerical value or narrative statement established for the receiving bodies as a general guide for the protection, maintenance and improvement of specific uses of water, air and soil.

23 - OBJECTIVE OF QUALITY ENVIRONMENTAL: Numerical value or narrative statement, which has been established as a specific limit for a receiving body in a given place, in order to protect and maintain the selected uses of the air, water and/or soil in that place, based on environmental quality guiding levels and considering the particular conditions of the given receiving body.

24 - OPERADOR: It is the person responsible for the complete operation of an installation or plant for the final treatment and/or disposal of hazardous wastes.

25 - FINAL PROVISION PLANTS: These are those in which the following disposal operations are carried out as indicated in Annex III-A.

Deposit inside or on earth (D1).

Specially designed fillings (D5).

Permanent deposit (D12).

26 - RELLENOS DE SECURITY: Installation to give final disposition on the ground to unprocessable, non-recyclable, non-fuel or residual hazardous wastes of other treatment processes, which maintain their hazard characteristics.

27 - PELIGROSO RESIDUO: For the purposes of Article 2 of the Law, it is called hazardous residue to any material that is subject to waste or abandonment and may directly or indirectly harm to living beings or contaminate the soil, water, atmosphere or environment in general; and any of those specified in Act No. 24,051 or which possesses the same characteristics.

28 - SOLIDIFICATION: Treatment method designed to improve the physical and manifold characteristics of a residue. These results are obtained mainly by the production of a monolithic block of treated residue, with high structural integrity.

29 - TREATMENT: Any method, technique or physical, chemical, thermal or biological process, designed to change the composition of any hazardous waste or to modify its physical, chemical or biological properties in order to transform it into non-hazardous, or less dangerous or make it safe for transportation, storage or final disposition; recover energy, or materials or make it suitable for storage, and/or reduce its volume. Dilution is not considered treatment.

30 - WATER POTABILIZATION POTABILIZATION AVANZATE TREATMENT: It is understood by advanced treatment of water purification that is capable of removing at least 90 percent (90 %) of the dangerous constituents present in the water source to pollut and that does not generate toxic constituents in the same process of purification above the drinking water standards.

These are advanced treatments of potabilization, among others:

- activated carbon.

- reverse osmosis

- ultrafiltration

- electrodialysis

- Ionic exchange

- steam compression evaporation

- distillation

31 - USES OF RECEPTORS: They are those that allow the development of activities such as water supply to men and cattle, agriculture (irrigation), industry, fishing, aquaculture, energy generation, preservation of flora and fauna.

32 - RESTRING USE ZONE: It is the portion of the receiving body adjacent to the dumping point and/or emission of hazardous waste, where the mixing of the discharges and/or emissions will occur, minimizing the impact they produce on the environment.

The Implementation Authority shall determine the restricted area of use.

Annex IV:

IDENTIFICATION OF A RESIDUO AS PELIGROSO:

The identification of a residue as dangerous shall be carried out on the basis of two procedures:

And by listings.

If you are present in any of the following two lists:

(a) List of hazardous chemical elements or compounds:

(b) List of industry and/or processes with high potential to produce waste containing hazardous compounds:

II - Based on risk characteristics. If you meet one or more of the following features:

A) INFLAMABILITY:

This feature identifies residues that present risk of ignion, being flammable under the normal conditions of storage, transport, manipuleo, and disposition or are able to severely aggravate a combustion once started, or that are able to originate fires during routine management tasks that can produce toxic smokes and create convective currents that can transport toxics to surrounding areas:

A residue displays the characteristic of flammability, if a representative sample of it meets any of the following conditions:

1) Inflammable liquid, according to Article 2, Annex II, Code 113. Determination according to Norma IRAM I. A. P. A 65 -39 (point of inflammation Pensky -Martens, closed vessel). It is assimilated to Class 3 of the Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Materials. (R. T. M. P.):

(2) Inflammable solid, according to Annex II to Law 24.051, Code H4. 1:

(3) Substance or discard, which presents the characteristics mentioned in Annex II to Law 24.051, Code H4.3:

For example: see in table I, the compounds identified with the letter F:

The above two categories are contemplated in IRAM Norma 3795 (flammable solid, spontaneously flammable and solid solid solid that in contact with water or humidity despises flammable gases). They are assimilated to classes 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of the R. T. M. P. (Regulation of the Transport of Dangerous Materials):

(4) Inflammable gas, as defined in IRAM Norma 3795 (flammable gases); it is assimilated in class 2 of the R T. M. P. (Transportation of Dangerous Materials Regulation)

(5) Oxidante, pursuant to Annex II to Law 24.051, Code H5.1:

e.g.: Clorat, Permanganate, Peroxide, Inorganic Nitrate: Assimilates to Class 5 of R. T. M. P. (Transportation of Dangerous Materials):

B) CORROSIVITY:

Based on this feature, those wastes that pose a risk to health and the environment are identified because:

(a) In case of being deposited directly into a safety filler and when contacting other waste, they can mobilize toxic metals:

(b) They require special equipment (recipients, containers, driving devices) for handling, storage and transportation, which requires selected resistant materials:

(c) They may destroy living tissue in case of contact: (Annex II of Law 24.051, Code H8):

It is then considered that a residue presents the characteristic of corrosiveness, if it verifies any of the following conditions:

(1) It is a watery residue and has a pH - 2 or pH - 12.5.

(2) It is liquid and corrode the SAE 1020 steel in a ratio greater than 6.35 mm. per year at a temperature of 55° C, according to the method identified in Nase, Stándard HIN 01-69.

C) REACTIVITY:

This characteristic identifies those residues that due to their extreme instability and tendency to react violently or exploit, pose a problem for all stages of the process of hazardous waste management. (Annex II of Law 24.051, Code H8).

A residue is considered to have reactivity characteristics, if a representative sample of it meets any of the following conditions:

1. It is usually unstable and suffers easily undetonated changes.

2 He reacts violently with water. Example: Table 1, compounds identified with Letra V.

3. It forms explosive potential mixtures with water.

4. When mixed with water it generates toxic gases, vapors or smokes in sufficient quantity to represent a danger to health and the environment. Example: Table I, compounds identified with Letra T.

5. It is a carrier of cyanides or sulphides, so, when exposed in pH conditions between 2 and 12.5, it can generate gases, vapors or toxic emanations in sufficient quantity to represent a danger to health or the environment.

6. It is able to detonate or react explosively if it is subjected to a strong initiating action or if it is heated in confined condition, i.e. in constant volume condition.

7. It is able to easily detonate, decompose or react explosively in normal pressure and temperature conditions.

8. It is an explosive, understood by such to those substances or mixtures of substances that are susceptible to produce in a sudden exothermal reaction with the generation of large amounts of gases. Example: various organic nitroderivates, powders, certain nitritic esters and others. (Law 19.587 on Safety and Health at Work, Chapter 18 of the Regulatory Decree). It is also contemplated in Norma IRAM 3798 and is assimilated to Class 1 of R. T. M. P. (Regulation of the Transport of Dangerous Materials).

D) LIXIVIABILITY:

This characteristic identifies those residues that, in case of being disposed of in unappropriate conditions, can originate lixiviated where the harmful constituents of such residues reach toxic concentrations.

The parameters to be determined are the following:

1) Arsenic

(2) Bario

3) Cadmio

4) Cinc

5) Copper

6) Total Chrome

(7) Mercury

8) Niquel

9) Silver

10) Lead

11) Selenium

12) Aldrín + Dieldrín

13) Atrazine

14) Clordano

15) 2.4-D

16) Endosulián

17) Heptachlor + Heptachlor epoxy

18) Lindane

19) MCPA

20) Metoxicloro

21) Paraquat

22) Trifluralina

23) Polychlorinated bifers

24) Phenolic compounds

25) Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons

The specification of which of these parameters will be controlled shall be decided on the basis of the origin or the alleged origin of the residue.

Limit concentrations and methods of analysis are described in Annex VI to the present Rules.

Since the purpose of this feature is to regulate the disposition of solids and semisolids according to environmental effects patterns, the parameters to control are not exclusive, considering the study of other parameters when the nature of the residue so requires.

The study of new parameters and the admissible limits shall be carried out by the Implementation Authority.

In the case of the following residues:

(a) Cloacale bars.

(b) Barrels from industrial waste liquid treatment plants.

(c) Barrels from joint treatment plants of industrial residual fluids and sewers.

If they meet the following requirements:

(1) Not included in the Risky Barrier List

(2) To comply with the conditions specified in respect of: (Annex V of this Regulation).

- Free liquids

- Total Solids

- Stabilization level

- Volatile solids

- pH

- Inflammability

- Sulfuros

- Cyanide

(3) To comply with the conditions specified for the 25 parameters mentioned in Annex VI to the present Rules. Otherwise, they will be excluded from being considered dangerous and will be received directly in Domestic Solid Waste Sanitary Fillings that will work officially enabled in different jurisdictions, having to be arranged in separate cells of special design for such solids and semisolids.

E) TOXICITY:

This characteristic identifies those residues or their metabolic products that possess the ability to, at certain doses, cause chemical or chemical-physical action damage to health, functional or organic, reversible or irreversible, after being in contact with the skin or mucuses or having penetrated the organism by any means.

It includes the above mentioned in Annex II to Law 24.051, Code H6.1, H11 and H12.

You should differentiate between:

Acute toxicity: The effect is manifested after a single administration.

Sub-bag or sub-chronic toxicity: The effect is manifested after administration or contact with the material for a limited period. Example: 1 to 3 months.

Chronic toxicity: The toxic effect is manifested after administration or contact for much longer periods.

Toxicity determinations can be subdivided into two major categories:

(a) Human toxicity: - Oral toxicity

- Toxicity by inhalation

- Toxicity by dermal penetration

- Toxicity by dermal irritation

(b) Ecotoxicity: - Aquatic environment

- Land environment

In order to quantify toxicity results, the LD50 index or average lethal dose will be used, which indicates the dose (or total amount actually entered into within an organism) of a substance that within a given period is fatal to man or animal.

In animal experiments, the average lethal dose indicates the average fatal dose, i.e. the dose for which 50% of the animal population under experiment die from the effect of the administered substance.

LC50: Indicates average lethal concentration, i.e. concentration in the environment.

A residue presents this characteristic if:

(a) It has been determined that it is lethal for humans at low doses, and in animal studies it has been determined that it presents:

LD50 (oral absorption in rats) - 50 mg/kg body weight.

LD50 (dermal sealing in rats or rabbits) - 200 mg/kg body weight.

LC50 (absorbed by inhalation in rats) - 2 mg/1 air of the environment.

(b) If you are otherwise able to cause or significantly contribute to an increase in irreversible serious diseases or reversible disabled diseases.

F) INFECTION:

This characteristic identifies those residues capable of causing an infectious disease. A residue will be considered infectious if it contains pathogenic microbes with sufficient virulence and in such quantity, that exposure to residue by a sensitive guest may result in an infectious disease. It includes the above mentioned in Annex II to Law 24.051, Code H6.2.

Regardless of those mentioned in Annex I to Law 24.051, categories Y1, Y2, Y3, in Table 2 for this Annex, different categories of infectious waste are mentioned.

G) TERATOGENICITY:

This characteristic identifies those residues that by their composition produce adverse effects on the fetus, which may cause the death of the embryo or cause deformations, or lead to a decrease in intellectual or body development.

H) MUTAGENICITY:

This risk feature identifies those residues that, based on substances that contain, cause mutations in the genetic material of somatic cells or germ cells.

Mutations in body cells may cause cancer, while mutations in germ cells (embrionary and sperm) can be transmitted hereditaryly.

I) CARCINOGENICITY:

This characteristic identifies those residues that can cause cancer.

J) RADIACTIVITY:

A residue presents this characteristic if a representative sample of it spontaneously emits radiation at a higher level than the base.

Radiation means the emission of some or some of the following elements: alpha, beta, range, or X-ray neutrons; and high-energy electrons, protons or other atomic particles; excepting sound or radio waves and visible infrared or ultraviolet light.

Wastes with this characteristic escape the scope of the Act in accordance with article 2, paragraph 3, and these regulations, while the National Atomic Energy Commission is responsible for the standardization and control of their management.

With regard to the characteristics of: toxicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity, and carcinogenicity, there are no specific determinations or laboratory tests to identify substances or residues with some of these characteristics; however, the App Authority based on existing scientific knowledge will include in list I (a) substances and products that configure these risks, identifying which or which of such risks they present.

This list will be updated periodically, not having to spend more than DOS (2) years between an update and another.

Annex V

1. LIMITS ESTABLISHED FOR THE FIELD PARAMETERS OF BARROS

In order for a clay to be repaired in a sanitary filler for domestic solid waste and arranged in separate cells, the parameters studied must respect the limits set out below for each of them.

1.1 - Free liquids: Baroques to be disposed of should not show the presence of free liquids, in order to minimize the generation of lixiviated.

1.2 - Total solids: The concentration of total solids should be greater or equal to 20%.

The previous limit that imposes a humidity content not greater than 80%, aims to minimize the production of lixivites and allow suitable operating conditions.

1.3 - Volatile solids: The concentration of volatile solids is an indicative parameter of the biological stabilization level of a clay. In this sense, taking as reference the raw mud, the reduction of volatile solids will be greater or equal to 40% for the digested mud.

1.4 - Stabilization level: The biologically stabilized muds, subject to the Stabilization Level Test, should not produce a dissolved oxygen deflection greater than 10%, as indicated in the corresponding test technique.

This test is complementary to that of reduction of volatile solids.

1.5 - pH: Biologically stabilized muds should present a pH in range 6-8.

The chemically stabilized muds with lime, which will be the only method by this accepted path, will have to present a pH in range 12.

1.6 - Inflammability: The muds should present a flash-point greater than 60° C.

1.7 Sulphides: For sulphides a maximum limit is set to a value of 500 mg H2s/Kg of residue as a total of released sulfur.

1.8 - Cyanides: For cyanides a maximum limit is set to a value of 250 mg HCN/Kg of residue as a total of released cyanide.

2 - ANALITICAL TECHNIQUES

The following are the techniques to be used in the analytical determinations of the above parameters, some of which are presented in an annexed form.

2.1 - Free liquids: Free fluid test - Federal Register / Vol. 47 No. 38 Thursday, February 25, 1982 / Proposed Rules (see attached technique).

2.2 - Total Solids: Method 209-F. Standard Methods for the examination of water and wastewater (1985).

2.3 - Volatile solids: Method 209-F. Standard Methods for the examination of water and wastewater (1985).

2.4 - Stabilization level: Stabilization Level Test (see Attached Technique).

2.5 - pH: Ref Method 423 (Standard Methods for the examination of water and wastewater, 1985) (See attached technique).

2.6 - Inflammability: The flash-point will be determined according to the techniques E 502-84 and D 3278-82.

2.7 - Sulfuros: Method 9030 (Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste - Physical/ Chemical Methods 1987).

2.8 - Cyanides: Method 9010 (Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste - Physical/ Chemical Methods 1987).

ADJUNTARY TECHNIQUES:

2.1 - Free fluid test: The proposed test for 100 ml. is a representative sample of waste from a container to be placed in a 400 micron chronic filter for 5 minutes. The specified filter is a standard, commonly viable and low storage cost filter. The filter must be placed under the channel, on rings or cylinders, to capture liquids passing through a filter. If any amount of free fluid will exceed the filter, the waste will be considered able to hold any free fluid.- (Federal Register/ vol 47, No. 38/ Thursday, February 25, 1982/ Proposed Rules).

2.4 - Barros Stabilization Level Test: This test was applied to muds from liquid drainage treatment plants using biological procedures for treatment. It will not be applied to the chemical stabilization procedure with lime or other chemical procedures. The rehearsal described below does not express grades or stages of mud stabilization, but its results are considered in order to establish a limit for its acceptance in sanitary fillings.

(a) The sample for the trial of approximately 250 g. shall be representative of the total amount of the clay mass treated for which the quartet procedure shall be applied.

(b) The test shall be valid if the test is performed immediately after the sample is removed, or if the sample is cooled at least 4°C for referral to the laboratory.

The results of samples that are analysed after two hours of extraction, or of those samples that do not meet the requirement of being confined in wide-mouth jars or plastic bags without air content inside, will not be considered, for which they will be closed to meet this requirement.

Analysis procedure: In a series of four jars, which can be the ones used to make the DBO, or with hermetic closure, of no more than 300 ml. of capacity, are quickly placed 5, 10, 20 and 40 grams (+ - 0.1 gram) of the sample in each jar.

They will be filled immediately after their introduction in each of the jars with distilled water and drained at 20° C, with a minimum tenor of 7 mg/L oxygen, closing each of the jars and trying to dispersion for their agitation, and letting them rest.

Taking an average initial time that will not exceed 5 minutes between the filling and closed from the first to the last jar, the dissolved oxygen is determined at 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes of the average initial time.

Known the initial dissolved oxygen concentration of dilution dilution distilled water and the deflection of it in the series of four jars, the percentage of deflection will be calculated regarding the initial dissolved oxygen, for which it will be considered that the volume occupied by the mud in each of the jars of 5, 10, 20 and 40 ml., respectively, for each of the series jars.

The dissolved oxygen deflection will not be greater on average of 10% of the dissolved oxygen of dilution diluted water, in order to consider that the mud is stabilized.

2.5 - Determination of pH: For the determination of pH of a sample, 10 g of it will be taken and mixed with 25 cm3. of distilled water. It will be left at rest for 30 minutes, it will shake again and the pH will be measured potentiometrically.

A dilution will then be made by the addition of 25 cm3. of distilled water, it will shake and the pH will be measured again. A second dilution will be made, just like the first one, and pH will be measured as explained.

The results of the three measurements should be reported.

Reference: Method 423 (Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 1985).

Annex VI

1 - LIMITS ESTABLISHED FOR CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF BARROS

The muds destined for the sanitary filling with solid domestic wastes will be available in separate cells, respecting the preset chemical parameters whose limits are described below:

1.1 - Arsenic: This parameter will be determined on the light resulting from submitting a sample of the clay to the Extraction Procedure that is detailed in this same annex. This test is intended to try to reproduce the most adverse condition to which the mud would be exposed in the filling, and therefore to measure the amount of the pollutant in study that would eventually go to the light. For the arsenic in the light, a maximum limit of 1 ml/l is adopted which results from adopting the U.S. EPA criterion of fixing such concentration as 100 times the water quality criterion. In this case it is taken as a quality criterion 0.01 ml/1 (Quality and Control Standards for drinking water. 1. Public Supplies - Argentina 1973).

1.2 - Bario: Applying the exposed in 1.1, a maximum limit of 100 mg/1 is set for the Bario.

In this case it is taken as a quality criterion 1 mg/l (drink water, Cuality Criteria for Water - U. S. EPA, 1976).

1.3 - Cadmium: Applying the exposed in 1.1, a maximum limit of 0.5 mg/1 is set for the Cadmium. It is adopted with quality 0.005 mg/1 (Water Cuality Criteria - WHO - 1984, Drinking water).

1.4 - Cinc: A maximum limit of 500 mg/1 is set. In this case it is taken as a quality criterion 5 mg/1 (Water Cuality Criteria and 0. S. N.).

1.5 - Copper: A maximum limit of 100 mg/1 is set. In this case it is taken as a quality criterion 1 mg/l (Water Cuality Criteria and 0. S. N.).

1.6 - Total Chrome: Applying the exposed to 1.1, for Chrome a maximum limit of 5 mg/L is fixed.

It is adopted as a quality criterion 0.05 mg/1 (Water Cuality Criteria - WHO -1984, Drinking water).
