The Environment

Environmental preservation is a constitutional guarantee to the Brazilian society. In this context any activity that may cause damage to the environment is subject to environmental licensing by appropriate government agencies. Thus, environmental studies and analyses are necessary before such activities are initiated. Those studies and analyses will also support the licensing process, as well as being used to establish necessary measures and controls to ensure that subsequent activities are in accordance with current environmental legislation.

Investigation of Soil and Underground Water Environmental Liabilities

Preliminary Evaluation- ABTN NBR 15515 – Part 1

Initial evaluation phase of investigation of soil and underground water environmental liabilities. It consits of a preliminary evaluation with the intent of identifying Suspected Areas, Potential Areas, and/or Contaminated Areas (SA, PA, CA).


Confirmatory Investigation- ABTN NBR 15515 – Part 2

Subsequent to the preliminary phase, the objective is to confirm or eliminate existence of area of contamination through survey and installation of monitoring wells.


Detailed Investigation- ABTN NBR 15515 – Part 3

The pricnipal object of this phase is to identify and quantify contamination type, that is, detailed characteristic evaluation of the source and volume of contamination and the areas impacted, while determinating the extent of the affected areas.


Human Health Risk Evaluation- using (Risk-Based Corrective Action) RBCA Software

Identifying and quantifying risks to human health due to contaminated area. This analysis will help define appropriate levels to be reached, and corrective actions to be implemented.
