A degradação ambiental na área de influência direta e seus impactos no lixão de São João do Amanari, Maranguape - CE

Abstract

Dumps are an old problem in Brazil. Even with the determination of their closure by Law 12,305 of August 2, 2010, which sanctioned the National Policy on Solid Waste (PNRS), there is still a complexity behind this issue that hinders such closure. Thus, the objective of this work is to analyze the environmental degradation resulting from the impacts caused by the activity of the São João do Amanari dump, in Maranguape/CE. The present research adopts an exploratory methodology, using a quantitative and qualitative approach for data analysis. The data collection applies techniques of indirect documentation and direct documentation, the latter being an intensive direct observation. Finally, we carried out a content analysis and the systematization of the information through texts, graphs and cartographic maps of the study area. The results obtained show that among the impacts evaluated the most affected factors were water, soil, fauna, and vegetation. By analyzing the consequences arising from the various categories of degradation, it becomes clear that there is a major impairment of environmental quality, and that the types and levels of impact vary. This project proposes for the management of the Municipality of Maranguape to adopt a monitoring plan as a way to prioritize environmental recovery and preservation of the site, seeking to balance the ecosystem and the quality of life.
