Context
Assessment of speleological potential, prospecting, area of influence studies, relevance studies, monitoring in mine operation areas, in order to assess potential impacts.
Methodology performed
Surveys in speleological databases; walking/mapping in the field; detailed topographic surveys; biospeleological and geospeleological surveys, monitoring of particulate matter; photographic monitoring; physical integrity monitoring; monitoring of cave fauna.
Results
Mapping of existing cavities in the Area Directly Affected by the project and its surroundings; proposal to change the area of influence; determination of the degree of relevance of the cavities; assessment of impacts resulting from operational activities and proposal of follow-up, mitigation and compensation measures.
