Diagnóstico de impacto ambiental do lixão no município de Condado-PB.

Abstract

In this work aimed to diagnose the environmental impacts of the dumping ground in the municipality of Condado, in Paraíba, Brazil, and propose environmental control measures. The methodology used was based on literature searches in scientific and technical supplies, field visits and photographic records. The area was georeferenced using geoprocessing tools; subsequently, a simplified environmental diagnosis of the study's area of influence was made; then, the environmental impacts were identified and classified, control measures and environmental plans and programs were indicated. According to the results, 7 types of environmental aspects and 44 environmental impacts were observed, with the abiotic environment being the most affected, with a total of 25 environmental impacts. A total of 24 “significant” and 3 “very significant” environmental impacts were identified. The main environmental control measures were proposed: conduct environmental education for the general population to encourage reduced consumption and reuse of materials; remove waste from the area; promote the recovery of the area degraded by the dumping ground. The main plans and programs suggested were: environmental education program; Municipal Plan for Integrated Solid Waste Management (PMGIRS); and environmental recovery program. It is expected that the results of this study are used as the basis for a future recovery project of the dumping ground area and that public agencies will be able to put in place environmental plans and programs suggested for the study area.
