Métodos de avaliação de impacto ambiental em projetos minerários: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The object of this study is to analyze the Environmental Impact Assessment instruments responsible for mitigating the liabilities of mining enterprises. It is justified given the need to seek solutions to the impacts caused by the effects of mineral exploration, in view of the unbridled growth of this sector of the economy and, consequently, the impacts caused by them. The main objective of this research is to conduct a literature review aiming at the methodologies used in Environmental Impact Assessment in Environmental Management Systems in mining enterprises; specifically, the objectives are: to analyze the characteristics of the methodologies used in EIA in Environmental Management Systems in mining projects and to identify the most appropriate method for Environmental Impact Assessment in their Environmental Management System. The main theorists that support this work are Sánchez, Barbieri, dos Santos, Seiffert, de Moraes and D'Aquino. The research methodology adopted consists of a bibliographical survey in the “Google Scholar” and “SciELO'' databases, whose keywords used were: “Environmental Impact Assessment Methods”, “Environmental Impact Assessment”, "Environmental Impact", "Environmental Impact Assessment in mining", "Environmental Impact Assessment" and "Environmental Impact Assessment in mining", with a view to deepening the study of the methods of Environmental Impact Assessment, in order to verify, among them, the most appropriate method to be used in mining enterprises
