Análise de adequação para o aterro a céu aberto do município de Nazaré - Bahia

Abstract

The management of municipal solid waste represents one of the greatest environmental challenges today. This analysis aims to assess the adequacy of the open-air landfill in the municipality of Nazaré, Bahia, considering environmental, regulatory, technical, and social aspects. The methodology included bibliographic review, field analysis, and comparison with current regulations, such as the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010), which establishes guidelines for integrated waste management and environmentally appropriate waste disposal; Law No. 9.605/1998, which addresses environmental crimes and related administrative sanctions; and CONAMA Resolution No. 307/2002, which regulates the management of construction waste. In addition, technical standards from ABNT were applied, including NBR 10004:2024, related to solid waste classification; NBR 8419:1992, concerning sanitary landfill design; NBR 13896:2018, which defines criteria for non-hazardous waste landfills; NBR 10157:1987, which establishes criteria for hazardous waste landfills; and NBR 12235:1992, which provides guidelines for landfill environmental monitoring. The results highlight the need for infrastructure improvements in the landfill and the implementation of sustainable practices. It is concluded that landfill adequacy is essential to minimize environmental impacts and ensure the region's sanitary safety.
