Solid waste management is a crucial topic for environmental preservation and civil construction. This guide, part of the FEPAM Technical Manuals Reference Collection, provides a detailed overview of environmental licensing and solid waste management. The goal is to ensure that activities related to solid waste management are carried out in a sustainable and effective manner, protecting the environment and promoting socioeconomic development.
The Role of Environmental Licensing
Environmental licensing is an essential process to prevent negative impacts on the environment. It ensures that activities that are potentially harmful to the environment are carried out in accordance with sustainable standards and practices. This process seeks to balance environmental preservation with socioeconomic progress, aligning with the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), Federal Law No. 12,305/2010 and the National Environmental Policy (PNMA), Federal Law No. 6,938/1981. Licensing is also in compliance with state legislation, specifically the State Environmental Code of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (State Law No. 15,434/2020).

Each category of solid waste has its own guidelines and licensing requirements to ensure that the management of these materials is carried out effectively and in compliance with legislation. The systematic and detailed approach outlined in the manual is crucial to the efficient management of solid waste, which can have a significant impact on public health and the environment.
