Recuperação de áreas degradadas por lavra em pedreiras: estudo de caso na Pedreira Santa Bárbara I - município Ferreira Gomes/AP.

Abstract

Mining, being a fundamental economic pillar, provides essential resources for sectors such as agriculture, metallurgy and construction. In this context, the deactivation of the Santa Bárbara 1 mine due to a flood highlights the importance of mine closure. In this sense, this study has the general objective of proposing solutions for early environmental recovery of mining, focusing on rehabilitation techniques that promote ecological restoration and the reintegration of the landscape into the natural environment. As a methodology, the study was based on a literature review and computer simulations carried out in the virtual environment Revit, aiming to model recovery scenarios. The analysis of the results showed that the use of landscape simulations provides a clear visualization of the potential impacts and possibilities for environmental recovery, allowing adjustments in mine closure planning before the final exploration phase. It is concluded that landscape simulation is a valuable tool for designing restorative scenarios, reinforcing the relevance of pre-extraction planning. Compliance with environmental legislation is imperative at all stages of reclamation, ensuring that the area is returned to the environment in a sustainable manner. In short, the rehabilitation of quarried areas not only restores the landscape and vegetation, but also revitalizes degraded environments, underlining the importance of ongoing environmental considerations.
