ANÁLISE DOS REQUISITOS AMBIENTAIS PARA ARMAZÉNS DE GRÃOS NO MUNICÍPIO DE RIO VERDE - GO: LICENCIAMENTO E CONFORMIDADE

Abstract

The growth of agribusiness in Brazil has intensified the demand for adequate grain storage structures, making environmental licensing a fundamental instrument for controlling and mitigating the environmental impacts associated with this activity. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze and systematize the procedures required for the environmental licensing process of general grain storage facilities in the municipality of Rio Verde, Goiás, focusing on the legal and environmental compliance of such enterprises. The methodology adopted was based on documentary and bibliographic research, including the analysis of current environmental legislation, applicable technical standards, and regulatory documents issued by the Municipal Department of Environment (SEMMA). The results demonstrated that municipal licensing presents a comprehensive set of technical and administrative requirements, involving different types of environmental permits, as well as the need for continuous compliance with environmental conditions to ensure the conformity of enterprises. The study also identified procedural bottlenecks and the need for greater administrative standardization in order to optimize environmental analysis workflows. It is concluded that environmental licensing constitutes a strategic instrument for environmental planning and management, contributing to the organization of the sector, the reduction of environmental impacts, and the strengthening of municipal environmental governance.
