Análise da metodologia de gradação de impacto ambiental para cálculo de compensação ambiental no estado do Pará

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the methodology of environmental impact gradation in order to calculate the environmental compensation in the State of Pará established in the Regulatory Statement 006/2007. Environmental compensation is an instrument of the National Environmental Policy stated by the National System of Conservation Unit – SNUC (Federal Law 9985 of July, 18 of 2000), being obligatory for projects that cause significant environmental impact. It compensates the negative impacts, through the establishment and/or maintenance of the conservation units of total protection. The Law 9985 determines that the licensor is responsible for developing a methodology that calculates the value of environmental compensation based on the impact degree. However, in April 2008, the Federal Supreme Court decided that the art. 36th of SNUC became unconstitutional, so the States already had methodology would manage to new definitions for the application of environmental compensation. After the discussion of important concepts, the methodology is examined and possible elements to be changed are identifies in order to adapt the methodology to the environmental conditions of the State of Pará. Finally, a study case is presented comparing the results between the original and the proposed methodology. The work develops in a scientific and political context, where they were used laws, articles, scientific publications and technical discussions to formulate a new proposal for the methodology.
