A mineração de agregados para a construção civil no novo marco regulatório : tratamento (in) diferenciado

Abstract

The research presents an approach of mining of aggregates for construction and the treatment designated in the legislative process which is being prepared to establish a New Regulatory Framework for Brazilian Mining. The scope of the research is to verify the relevance of specific treatment to mineral aggregates from the perspective of sustainable development. The applied methodology showed to be critical to contextualize the legal proposal, conceptualize and understand the assets and mining activities, differentiating the mineral aggregates of other mineral resources. Due to its specificities, mining of aggregates was analyzed from the perspective of sustainability. The theoretical reference of José Eli da Veiga, in the book "Sustainable development: the challenge of the XXI century" has oriented the research in order to identify relations of mining of aggregates to the environment and human dignity. The research highlighted the impacts caused by mining of aggregates, negative for the environment and positive due to improving quality of life. The study refers to The Brazilian Mineral Law, the Law Project n° 5087/2013, and its replacement, that inputs public policy. At the end, mineral exploitation regimes were analyzed, specifying the “regime of authorization”, mineral exploration, the proposal concerning mineral land planning, the financial compensation for mineral exploration (CFEM) and the mining rights. It was possible to conclude and confirm the hypothesis that the law has always privileged the mineral aggregates given its essentiality to improve quality of life and it is essential to maintain this condition to achieve sustainability while precept in process of construction.
