Environmental impact assessment of leachate from elv storage place at the design stage

Abstract

There is the acute problem of growth of motor vehicles reached the end of their usefullives in Saint-Petersburg [1]. One of the possible ways for solving this problem it isestablishment of a recycling system for "end-of-life-vehicles" (ELV's), includingcollection system and the creation of a storage places. Storage places are intermediatelinks in recycling system of ELV's. Necessity of creation of storage places is connectedwith absence of possibility of city authorities takes away ELV thrown their owners on thestreet earlier than one year will up. Now it is difficult to tell exactly where storage placeswill be situated within the precincts of a town or in the country. At the designing ofstorage places it is necessary to carry out the environmental impact assessment (EIA).Appearance of the given task is connected with potential leakage of car operating fluidsfrom ELV units at the collection and the storage process. This leakage is being mixedwith surface water and it cause soil and water pollution [2]. The problem ofleachate fromstorage place is significant ifit has wide spread.
