📋 Tender Overview
Results from an accredited laboratory confirm that the treated effluent and the receiving body comply with the maximum permissible limits and environmental quality standards established by the MINAM.The EPS Moquegua reported that the OMO Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) complies with the environmental parameters established by the current regulations of the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), both in the treated effluent and in the Osmore River, 100 meters downstream from the discharge point.
According to the results issued by the accredited laboratory ALS Peru, the analyzes carried out comply with the Maximum Permissible Limits (MPL) for effluents from wastewater treatment plants, established in Supreme Decrees No. 003-2010 and No. 004-2017-MINAM, as well as with the Environmental Quality Standards (ECA) for category 3 water, intended for the irrigation of vegetables and animal drinking.
The evaluation of the parameters was carried out at two strategic points: at the exit of the OMO WWTP, corresponding to the treated effluent, and 100 meters downstream from the discharge point, considered as a receiving body after mixing.
Among the parameters evaluated, oils and fats, thermotolerant coliforms, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen stand out.
The results obtained show that the Osmore River complies with the established environmental standards and that the discharge of the treated effluent does not generate adverse impacts on the evaluated parameters. Likewise, it was determined that the quality of the water of the receiving body is suitable for irrigating vegetables and drinking animals.
The Moquegua EPS reiterated its commitment to environmental protection and compliance with current environmental regulations, guaranteeing adequate operation of the OMO WWTP for the benefit of the population and the ecosystem.
