Q5. A car washing and lubricating company has been operating for several years
(more than 10 years) in a terrain with the following characteristics: porous, filterable
with a freatic level near to the surface (1.5 m depth). The company is located close by
to an estuary branch which is quite useful for them since they discharge all the
disposals and waste generated by this activity directly into the estuary. These
disposals contain a high level of oils and greases. All the dumping from the car
maintenance goes directly into the soil since there are not palettes or gutters. The
lubricating company operates for 20hrs for seven days per week. The Municipality
since the local people has complained has arranged the execution of an EIA and you
are part of it.
