Controle ambiental de empreendimentos hidrelétricos de pequeno porte na Amazônia: análise do licenciamento e monitoramento no estado do Pará

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze if the biotic components and standards adopted in the TR's, in order to evaluate the impacts caused by the implementation of SHPs in the state of Para, are demonstrating the compatibility of the altered environment and its capacity of recomposition to the balance of the environment. Initially, a process analysis of the small hydroelectric plants in operation in the state of Para was carried out to identify which components and standards were defined in these processes. Subsequently, research was carried out to identify the available literature (technical and legal), which indicate selected biological components and standards in the elaboration of TR's for licensing and monitoring of SHPs. In addition, standards and legal doctrines were consulted to understand the protection of biological resources in the scope of environmental licensing and monitoring in Brazil and what legal good to be protected by the environmental standard. The licensing and monitoring processes of the SHPs in operation in the state of Para did not present formal guidelines on the process of resilience of the transformed environment, which makes the environmental analysis of these SHPs impracticable, hindering the police power of the environmental agency.
