Análise das diretrizes e legislação para avaliação de impacto ambiental de postos de combustível em ambiente urbano.

Abstract

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure is the first step of the environmental licensing process, this methodology precedes other procedures such as the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) and the Environmental Impact Report (RIMA), allowing the identification of several environmental issues that factors arise during the implementation of projects, such as gas stations. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the current environmental legislation, using it as a basis for the assessment of the environmental impact of gas stations in an urban environment. For the choice of these fuel stations and the study area, the technical reports available in the Online Environmental Licensing System (SOL) and the National Environmental Licensing Portal were taken into account. After choosing the fuel stations, three different EIA methods were applied, being, the Interaction Matrices method, the Interaction Networks method, and the Map Overlay method. Thus, according to the analysis of the data generated, it was possible to identify different misdemeanors associated with gas stations, noting that most of the environmental impacts caused are associated with the underground fuel storage area, due to poor management and problems related to incompatible structures with the appropriate standards, thus facilitating the risk of contamination and a high environmental impact to the surrounding.
