Análise dos desafios legais na gestão de áreas contaminadas no estado do Piauí

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the legal challenges faced in the management of contaminated areas in the state of Piauí, in the light of the environmental legislation in force in Brazil. The research is based on a qualitative, bibliographical and documentary approach, based on the main the main normative frameworks, such as the 1988 Federal Constitution, Law nº 6.938/1981 (National Environmental Policy), Law nº 9.605/1998 (Environmental Crimes Law), Law No. 12.527/2011 (Access to Information Law) and CONAMA Resolution 420/2009. The study highlights the absence of specific state regulations for the management of contaminated areas in Piauí, which compromises the effectiveness of actions to identify, evaluate and remediation of these areas. Based on an analysis of legal instruments and the experience of more advanced states, such as São Paulo, it can be concluded that institutional strengthening, the decentralization of environmental management and the creation of state regulations are essential measures to ensure the protection of the environment and public health in Piauí. The work also proposes recommendations such as the creation of specific state policies, continuous training of public bodies and encouraging transparency and social and social participation in environmental management.
