Success Cases

Environmental investigation of liabilities

Context

Development of the Preliminary Assessment Report and the Confirmatory Investigation Plan in areas of paralyzed mines.

Methodology

Levantamento de dados primários e secundários, incluindo, por exemplo, levantamento aerofotogramétrico temporal, de modo a caracterizar as alterações do uso e ocupação do solo na área alvo e no seu entorno; entrevistas e inspeções em campo. O Plano de Investigação Confirmatória é elaborado em função da disponibilidade, da qualidade dos dados e das informações obtidas, os quais fundamentarão o Modelo Conceitual Inicial da Área – MCA, com seus diferentes níveis de incertezas.

Results

Through the collection of data and developed studies, the aim is to find evidence, clues or facts that allow suspecting the existence of contamination in the areas, verifying the need or not to continue the investigation (execution of the Confirmatory Investigation Plan).

Environmental Licensing of Mining Project

Development of Environmental Licensing through the preparation of environmental studies and monitoring of aspects of the physical, biotic, and socioeconomic environments for the mining segment activity, including access roads and transmission lines in the Amazon biome, in the state of Pará.

Conceptual and executive level closure plan

Mine operations with the need to plan structured actions, in line with the best international practices, in order to guarantee the physical and chemical stability of the structures, enabling the future use and socio-environmental sustainability of the enterprise in the decommissioning and post-decommissioning phases.

Strategy for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Reservoir Surroundings

The surroundings of artificial reservoirs present significant ecological challenges due to human activities and the impacts generated by the construction and operation of the reservoir. The conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of the areas around the reservoir are essential to mitigate the negative effects on the local ecosystem. Therefore, proper planning is fundamental to preserve areas of native vegetation, restore degraded areas, and ensure the continuity of the region’s ecological function.
