Aspectos e impactos ambientais da obra de Revitalização e Ampliação do Porto do Baé, Trecho 2, Barra do Garças – MT

Abstract

In addition to being one of the main economic indicators, construction industry is directly associated with urban and social development, however, as the sector grows, the concern with the environment increases. In an attempt to reconcile development with environmental preservation, in addition to the sustainable construction projects that are gaining ground every day, we seek to know the environmental impacts that a given project may cause, in order to avoid further damage to the environment. However, there are still projects that lack studies of environmental aspects and impacts, so this work aims to identify the environmental aspects and impacts associated with the work "Enlargement and Revitalization of Porto do Baé - Section 2" in Barra do Garças -MT located in the Permanent Preservation Area of the Garças and Araguaia rivers. The methodology adopted was the same commonly used for the identification of environmental impacts, which seeks to understand the project and the knowledge of the characteristics of the project's insertion environment, observing the interactions between anthropic actions with the components of the environment. For this, a database was created based on a field survey, analysis of the project's executive projects and the process that supported the licensing by the competent body and research in specialized bibliographies. At the end, it was possible to observe the occurrence of environmental aspects and impacts in physical, biological and anthropic environments, inherent to the construction and due to the lack of planning that resulted in a delay in the beginning and later interruption of the construction works. It was noted that the impacts of the natural environment (physical and biological) occur due to the loss of natural resources, changes in the characteristics of resources and changes in environmental processes, while socioeconomic impacts are related to changes in labor and employment indicators and waste of public money.
