Análise da metodologia de cálculo legalmente estabelecida para compensação ambiental no estado do Ceará

Abstract

Environmental Compensation is an economic instrument that aims to account for and restore the environment, initially in monetary form, due to negative and non-mitigating impacts generated during by projects with high polluting potential. To make possible the financial compensation processes of a natural good, there are environmental valuation criteria that estimate values to the environmental resources directly affected by the externalities produced by the man, in order to maintain economic growth in an ecologically balanced way. The indemnification paid to the State for possible environmental damages is intended to support the maintenance or creation of conservation units. The present thesis makes a detailed study of the Brazilian legislations that have guidelines for the calculation of the Environmental Compensation, both in federal scope, with Federal Decree nº 6.848 / 2009, and in state scope, in the state of Ceará, with COEMA Resolution nº 26/2015. From the analysis of two different projects through their Environmental Impact Studies (EIA) and Environmental Impact Reports (RIMA) submitted to the Environmental Superintendence of Ceará (SEMACE), an analysis was made of the practical application of the methodology Calculated in the mentioned decree. The results obtained were compared with the value currently used by SEMACE according to the COEMA Resolution nº 26/2015.
