Análise de relatórios de auditoria ambiental compulsória como instrumento de licenciamento e gestão ambiental no estado do Paraná

Abstract

Each more time, the contemporaneous society has been exploited more resources that are extracted from environment, turning back in their place a great variety of pollutants, from industrial process to residues spread in nature. In order to stop this huge environmental impact, during the year 2002, the Estado do Paraná approved the law 13.446 that determines how the compulsory environmental audits should work. In 2005 the audits have been started and, as a result, were generated written reports of these environmental audits. These documents were the critic analysis object of this dissertation. The methodology of the present study starts from the choice of five analytical parameters to evaluate written reports: the environment legislation, the produce and discard of industrial solids residues, the survey of environmental risks, the evaluation of technological levels of the organizations involved and the use and the exploit of natural resources from the companies under audits. The selection of the analyzed documentation was done by using approval and repproval criteria to obtain an environmental licensing. The results of the survey of the environmental audits lead to failure of evidences, no fulfillment of the legislation, difficulties for the companies to control the produce and discard of industrial residues, the need of preventive maintenance to avoid risks, the convenience of studies for the application of technologies that solve environmental problems, and the seek for the balance between the relations of the organization and the acquisition and exploitation of inputs.
