Caracterização e discussão da licença ambiental de operação corretiva em Minas Gerais

Abstract

The Environmental Licensing process is one of the most important tools to allow the balance between the economic development and the maintenance of the environmental quality; activities that can potentially cause environmental degradation are subject to this process. In this context, the main objective of this project was to characterize and discuss the practice of the Corrective Environmental Licensing in the state of Minas Gerais, between 2011 and 2020. Available data in the Integrated Environmental Information System (SIAM) was used to carry out this study. The processes accessed were characterized in relation to spatial distribution, activities to which they refer and year of formalization. In addition, for some cases, the environmental study requested to support the Environmental Licensing process was identified. Through this study, it is perceived that Superintendencies of Alto São Francisco, Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba were responsible for most of the corrective environmental licensing processes between 2011 and 2020, with Agrosilvipastoral Activities being the most recurrent in the Minas Gerais state. Moreover, environmental studies (EIA/Rima and RCA/PCA) and licensing conditions were commonly requested.
