At the same time, this road allows the passage of the necessary maintenance vehicles.īut the will of this restoration does not consist exclusively in its reintegration into the landscape, but rather it has wanted to use this operation as a sign of the new attitudes that society has to undertake in relation to environmental issues. This path allows you to visit the place connecting in its upper part with a landscape itinerary of the Garraf Natural Park. The formalization of the various terraces has made it possible to establish a path that will run through the entire restored space, crossing the different fields and going up through the various terraces. The first step towards its total integration into the surrounding landscape. If in the language used in the closure project dikes and platforms were required, in the language of the landscape restoration project it is spoken of agricultural terraces with wooded terraces and cultivated fields. The established geometric order makes it possible to reconcile the agricultural image sought with the implementation of technical systems, such as that linked to the extraction of the biogas generated in the discharge layers. The various drainage systems established in the successive agricultural terraces allow the rainwater to be directed to the reserve tanks that will allow us to irrigate in the summer seasons. The plantation is organized into plant structures linked to the topographic shape of the terraces –fields, slopes, drains, and roads– using autochthonous legume crops, various tree and shrub species, and species typical of the Mediterranean maquis. The vegetation implantation process is carried out from highly resistant native species, with few water needs and adapted to the environment. The closure and restoration project has been developed from a landscape idea: to create a landscape of agricultural terraces that unifies the whole complex. The image of the valley occupied by the deposit contrasted with the orographic and vegetal richness of the landscapes of the natural park that surrounded it. This immense esplanade traced the entire valley that has been used as a deposit, and that in its upper parts is still in operation. The location of the deposit before the restoration corresponded to a large esplanade with strong slopes where a layer of 20 centimeters of earth had been placed that covered the waste but did not imply its permanent sealing. At present, it occupies an area of 60 hectares of which 20 hectares have already been restored from the closure and restoration project presented here. The beginning of the exploitation of the deposit dates from the year 1974 with the dumping since then of most of the urban waste of Barcelona and the municipalities of its metropolitan area. The Vall d’en Joan deposit is located in the Garraf Natural Park within the municipalities of Begues and Gavá in the Baix Llobregat region. The multidisciplinary technical team that has carried out this restoration has combined in a single action knowledge that comes from different disciplines – environmental engineering, geology, landscape architecture, and agronomy – to create this new place. The new terraces created respond both to the technical needs of the closure and sealing, as well as to the desire to establish a new path and to create a new landscape that is integrated into its surroundings. The proposed restoration tries to achieve the integration of the deposit within the Garraf natural park, using the resource of nearby agroforestry mosaics and promoting the development of the newly established ecosystems. The proximity of various metropolitan cities and its ease of access and parking, make it the gateway to the Garraf natural park through the new trail created. The intervention tries to enhance the character of free space that this place can recover through its restoration. The project tries to optimize the best technical solutions for the closure and sealing of this deposit, solving the complex technical problems that this type of action requires and adapting the solutions taken to the important slopes of this place. Even so, the proposal incorporates a third objective by proposing this site as a new free access space in the Garraf Natural Park.
