Abstract

In this study aimed to develop a proposal of degraded area recovery plan to "dumpsite" of the municipality of Pombal-PB. In study development, the following steps were carried out: recognition of the study area; description of the pre-degradation and post-degradation scenario; identification of significant environmental impacts; definition of the recovery strategy; preparation of an environmental monitoring plan; and an environmental prognosis of the area.
