RESUMO

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been used as a procedure for environmental licensing in Brazil for the last two decades but the results from performing such assessment are still not well known due to the lack of follow-up surveys. As a result, the EIA s efficiency is uncertain. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a methodology to evaluate its real efficiency by taking into account current performance, especially in sanitary landfill projects which have adopted EIA as the procedure. In this context, this study evaluates the mitigation measures adopted in sanitary landfill projects which have used EIA as a procedure for obtaining the environmental licensing. The research scope was based on case studies. Three sanitary landfills located in São Paulo State were selected and their mitigation measures were evaluated taking into consideration only the physical environment. The analysis results have demonstrated that in general sanitary landfills are fulfilling the mitigation measures formulated by the EIA. On the other hand, the study has verified that most of these measures were related to regular control measures of landfill operation system, which would have been implemented whether the EIA procedure been a part of the environmental licensing process or not
