Descrição

Abstract
Mining is an extractive activity that interferes with the economic, environmental and social
environment. Thus, its intrinsic characteristic is locational rigidity, environmental transformation and
the generation of social and environmental risks. Thus, this study aimed to present in the literature
what is the best mitigating measure to be adopted in order to try to reduce the impacts on possible
collapses in the Pitinga tailings dams in the Amazon. From this study it can be stated that among the
29 dams located in the State of Amazonas, 8 are from ore tailings and are located in the municipality
of Presidente Figueiredo, in the Pitinga region, as regards supposed risks of a disaster, the perceived
scenario in Minas Gerais can hardly occur, since the tailings dams have a natural containment because
they are built in valleys. However, in order to reduce damage and prevent possible collapse in ore
enterprises, it is essential that mitigation measures are used to compensate for environmental damage
caused by the practice of ore extraction.
