O processo de licenciamento ambiental no Ceará

Abstract

In recent decades, the world has suffered from an accelerated growth of the economy, which is responsible for developing a disorderly growth of cities and the use of consumer products that cause the shortage of certain elements. For this, it was necessary to create laws to intervene in resource utilization and uncontrolled growth. The national environmental policy defines as one of its instruments licensing of potentially polluting activities. Environmental licensing introduces procedures for enterprises and effective or potentially polluting activities that can operate correctly. Therefore, this study was divided into two parts, the first conducted a survey of information on how to give this process in Ceará, performing a walkthrough and a flowchart of the entire process, from documentation of entry to the obtaining the Operating License, extolling their deadlines and what is required at each stage, this is to facilitate the understanding of the whole process. In the second part, an analysis was performed on the same type of environmental study, an Environmental Viability Study for two different economic activities, Allotment and Sewage System. It was observed that the licensing process conducted by SEMACE meets all the requirements mentioned in the legislation, as for Environmental Studies was found that these have similar scope, differing in points at which the projects will have a greater impact, which means, even Studies with similar content will depend on the specificity of the project in question
