DNIT and the Environmental Management
General Presentation
The policies of transport infrastructure, strengthened by the Growth
Acceleration Program PAC, seeks to integrate roads, railways and
waterways in order to reduce logistic costs on transport, thereby
contributing to the socioeconomic development of the country.

In line with the environmental policy of the Ministry of Transport, the
projects under the responsibility of DNIT come increasingly
combining the preservation of natural resources and respect for
environmental legislation.

Thus, it is pleased that I present the actions of DNIT in environmental
management, thus showing once again the efforts of this Department
in enabling the modernization of transport infrastructure on a
sustainable basis.



Jorge Ernesto Pinto Fraxe
General Director

S

To implement transport enterprises, with the objective to be completed as efficiently,
quickly and with minimal environmental impacts, the DNIT acts in harmony with
environmental legislation, taking into account the recommendations of the environmental
licensing.

The report below shows the efforts and advances of this Autarchy in order to reconcile
development of transport infrastructure in the country and environmental responsibility in
an efficient and sustainable way.


Jos Florentino Caixeta
Director of Planning and Research



The purpose of this report is to show how this Department is internalizing the principles
of sustainable development within the works of transports of the Federal Government.

The idea of this report is to show this Department is internalizing the principles of
sustainable development within the transport of works of the Federal Government.

The Environmental Coordination of DNIT acts in the planning stage, monitoring the
enterprises and in the operation stage.

In the planning phase, there is the Technical, Economic and Environmental Feasibility
Studies (EVTEA) that consider the social-environmental aspects in the development of
the engineering project. So, the DNIT counts with the Service Instruction No. 246 which
establishes the criteria and environmental care directly related to the enterprises. The
Environmental Impact Studies (EIA) produces specific knowledge about the biomes in
which the enterprises are located. These studies include the physical, biotic and
socioeconomic aspects of the area, thereby promoting sound knowledge of local
biodiversity.

During the process of Monitoring and finishing of the enterprises over a dozen
environmental programs are developed in order to mitigate and compensate, to assure
many environmental and social benefits, promoting effectively the sustainable
development of the country.

Finally, the negotiations are being initiated to rectify the environmental situation of all
paved roads in operation, an action that will bring enormous gains to Brazil.

Introduction
About

The General Coordination of Environment - CGMAB, subject to the Planning and
Research under the National Department of Transport Infrastructure - DNIT, was created
in 2004 from the issuance of the Resolution N 6 of DNIT at March 10, 2004, thus
underlining the internalization of environmental guidelines of the Ministry of Transport,
published in 2003.

The CGMAB develops, implements and coordinates the environmental management
system of roads, railways and waterways of the National Transportation Plan. Its
references are technical, economic criterias and environmental sustainability in transport
systems.

The CGMAB is structured in two coordinations: Waterway Environment and Land
Environment.

Mission - To promote environmental management in all phases of
projects of transport infrastructure, combining socio-economic
development, national security and protection of life, as determined by
the guidelines of the National Environmental Policy, Environmental
Policy, Ministry of Transport and National Policy of Transportation.

Vision - To undertake increased efforts in the search for the
minimization of environmental impacts and maximize results, becoming
thus a reference in environmental management of projects of transport
infrastructure.

Values - Ethics, Transparency, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Teamwork.

The Growth Acceleration Program (PAC)
As guide for the actions of DNIT

The Growth Acceleration Program - PAC, established by the Decree
N 6.025 of 01/22/2007, is a program that involves a set of policies of
stimulus to the productive sectors, in order to add benefits to all
regions of the country.

One of the pillars of the program is the expansion of public investments
in infrastructure, including transport, through the consolidation and
expansion of the logistics network, interconnecting roads, railways and
waterways and ensuring the quality and security for enterprises, which
are forecast for the following investments values:
EIXOS 2011-2014 POST 2014 TOTAL
Roads 48,4 2,0 50,4
Railways 43,9 2,1 46,0
Ports 4,8 0,3 5,1
Waterways 2,6 0,1 2,7
Merchant Marine 36,7 - 36,7
Total (billion R$) 136,4 4,5 140,9
Source: MPOG, 2011
The guidelines of the PAC 2, released on 29/03/2010, predict the
construction of almost 8,000 kilometers of highways and 55,000 km of
maintenance works, which for the DNIT translate into implementation
and maintenance activities of 159 railways, waterways and roads.

ACTIVITIES
Environmental Permit

According to the CONAMA Resolution
N 237/97, the environmental licensing
is the administrative procedure by
which the authorized environmental
agency licenses the location,
installation, expansion and operation of
projects and activities which uses
environmental resources considered
effective or potentially polluting, or
those that, in any form, can cause
environmental degradation,
considering the laws and regulations and technical standards
applicable to the case.

The environmental licensing is one of the important mechanisms of
public control through which establishes the conditions and limits for
the exercise of certain activities and projects.

In this context, and in accordance with the terms of the Article 80 of
Law 10.233/2001, it is DNITs duty to implement, within its sphere of
action, the formulated policy for the administration of the infrastructure
of the Federal Roads, including its operation, maintenance, restoration
or replacement, adjustment of capacity, and expansion by building new
roads and terminals within the existing legal and technical criteria.
These activities are liable of environmental licensing.

Thus, as defined in the art. 10 of the Law n 6.938/81, those projects
or activities depend on previous licensing by the competent organ,
member of the National System of Environment - SISNAMA.

In addition, the 2 Article of the CONAMA Resolution N 001/86
defined the types of activities that modify the environment to be
licensed, including:

"I - Road carriageway with two or more lanes;
II - Railways, (...)"

Are classified as activities that modify the environment the ports and
waterways.
The success of the licensing process demands among other things
constant interface with the various entities participants of the process,

who are consulted during the stages of
licensing, including:

National Indian Foundation FUNAI;
Institute for National Artistic and
Historical; Heritage IPHAN;
Palmares Cultural Foundation;
Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity
Conservation - ICMBIO;
National Institute for Colonization and
Agrarian Reform INCRA.

According to the rules of procedure of the DNIT, art. 77, the General
Coordination of Environment - CGMAB, which is subject to the
Planning and Research Directory - DPP, duties are to "coordinate,
monitor, manage and implement the environmental management
activities in all phases of projects of transport infrastructure; propose
environmental management policy of the DNIT; develop, implement
and coordinate the environmental management system of roads,
railways and waterways, specifically the enterprises of DNIT and their
regional superintendents; act on behalf of the DNIT in forums that
address environmental issues."

It is up to the CGMAB therefore, the control, coordination,
administration and implementation of environmental management
activities at all stages of transportation infrastructure projects licensed
by the IBAMA and supporting the superintendence in other situations,
according to the Resolution N 488 of 22/05/2012 with a view to
ensuring that the works are implemented in strict observance current
environmental legislation, seeking to implement sustainable
management practices and environmental performance of works and
preserving the environment, the physical aspects, biotic and
socioeconomics.

For each stage of the licensing process is necessary a development
and implementation of specific environmental studies and actions,
leaving the CGMAB the role of hiring and monitoring of the
environmental services performed in connection with the licensing
process of the projects under the responsibility of the DNIT.

Aiming at the performance of their duties and compliance with
environmental legislation, the CGMAB promotes hiring through
tenders, agreements, terms of cooperation and others, the following
types of environmental services:

Environmental Studies

According to the Resolution n 237/198 of the CONAMA environmental
studies are all and any studies regarding the environmental aspects
related to location, installation, operation and expansion of an activity or
project, presented as a subsidy to analyze the required license.

The required environmental studies for the procedure of environmental
licensing of a project or activity may be:


Environmental Impact Assessment and its Environmental Impact
Report - EIA / RIMA,
Environmental Study,
Report and Environmental Control Environmental Control Plan -
RCA / PCA ; Simplified Environmental Report Environmental
Report, Project Planning and Environmental Control,
Environmental Report Preliminary Environmental Diagnosis,
Management Plan,
Plan for Recovery of Degraded Areas and Preliminary Risk
Analysis,
Social and Environmental studies (studies of the indigenous
component and maroon)
Plan removal of vegetation - PSV (including forest inventory),
Diagnosis and archaeological prospecting, among others.


And according to the art. 3 of the CONAMA Resolution No. 237, it is the
competent environmental organ duty, depending on the features, the
location, size and other peculiarities of the project, to determine which
studies are needed to support the environmental licensing.

The Environmental Compensation has its historical origin mainly
associated with large projects of the Brazilian electric sector,
particularly those located in the Amazon, and emerged as a way of
creating areas aimed at conserving biodiversity in the areas affected by
enterprises.

It is understood as a financial mechanism that aims to offset the
environmental impacts occurring or planned in the licensing process. It
is therefore an instrument connected to the impossibility of mitigating
an impact generated by enterprises of significant environmental impact.

Incorporated into the text of the Convention on Biological Diversity
(signed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development in 1992) it began to be applied effectively is the year
2000, since the signing of the Law N 9.985, which instituted the
National System of Units Conservation of Nature, specifically in its
Article 36, presented below:
Environmental Compensation
BR-262NS

Article 36. In cases of
environmental licensing of
enterprises of significant
environmental impact,
considered that way by the
competent environmental
agency, on grounds of
environmental impact study
and its reports - EIA/ RIMA, the
entrepreneur is obliged to
support the implementation and
maintenance of conservation
unit of the Full Protection Group
in accordance with the
provisions of this article and the regulations under this Law.

The guidelines of the law was made by several decrees, including the
Decree N 4340/2002, which in its Article 33 sets the priority for the
application of environmental compensation funds, those which should
be used in existing protected areas or to be created primarily to:

I - land regularization and land demarcation;
II - preparation, revision or implementation of management plan;
III - acquisition of goods and services required for deployment,
management, monitoring and protection unit, including its area of
damping;
IV - development of the necessary studies for the creation of new
protected areas;
V - development of the necessary research for the management of the
protected area and damping.

The calculation of the amount of resources to be allocated by the
contractor for this purpose is defined by the licensing authority from the
degree of impact the project or activity, as indicated in the EIA-RIMA,
and its legal basis in the Normative Instruction of IBAMA 8/2011.

The operationalization of billing in the national territory has been
complex. However, the DNIT took steps to pay R$ 9,476,475.00 until
the year 2011 relating to eight projects in the country, of which R$
7,045,263.00 has been paid so far.

The team effort of the CGMAB along with the responsible organs has
been going around the methodology of calculation for payment of
environmental compensation, the legal instrument to transfer resources

Environmental Management


Environmental management by definition is
the act (action set) of administer and run on
the natural environment during the
execution (planning, monitoring and
management) of the implementation of
programs aimed at the environmental
monitoring, implementation of
compensatory measures and operation of
the pathway.

The doubling of the BR-101 South was the
first work of the DNIT to incorporate the
concept of environmental management, as
with the budget of the works were also
invested resources for environmental
management of the enterprise, in order to
guaranteed by means of checks and
routine inspections, the faithful compliance
with environmental legislation and the
proper conduct of the licensing process
(terms and conditions set). Since then,
environmental management has been
incorporated into major project of DNIT.

From this perspective, the environmental
management of these enterprises is developed based on three macro
activities:

Environmental Supervision;
Environmental Management;
Implementation of Environmental Programs;

All performed in obedience to precepts of sustainable development;
principles established by the Environmental Policy of the Ministry of
Transport; environmental guidelines established by the DNIT;
environmental legislation; recommendations of environmental studies
that prior the obtaining the necessary environmental permits and
environmental permits of the enterprise.

TCU and the CGMAB

According to the Judgment of the
TCU (Court of Accounts of the
Union) N 2856/2011, which
analyzed the process of post-
environmental licensing of
infrastructure projects, specifically
the works of BR-101 - stretch
Florianpolis/ Osrio and Railroad
Transnordestina - stretch
Salgueiro/ Misso Velha, the
establishment of monitoring
procedures by the entrepreneur is
essential to minimize adverse
impacts and maximize the positive
ones. It must be continuous,
systematic and comprehensive.

The environmental supervision
that should be a practice adopted
during both the installation and
operation phase of the project -
plays "a key role in reducing
environmental impacts through the
verification of the implementation
of mitigation and compensation
measures defined and structured
in environmental programs, as well
as maintaining the environmental
quality of areas affected by the
project. "

Environmental Component


Created in 1997, the
Service Instruction (IS) N
246 in guiding the
preparation of the
environmental component
of the road enterprises,
part of the engineering
projects of the DNIT. This
component and consists
of environmental studies
and projects, aiming the
definition and
specification of services relating to environmental protection measures of
planned road works and remediation and restoration of environmental
damage so that the approval of the engineering design meets the
provisions of the environmental legislation.

The environmental component of the engineering projects aims to:

The identification and location of the direct environmental impacts whose
mitigation will be the object of engineering design;
Definition of engineering solutions to meet the constraints of
environmental permits;
Propose measures for the eradication of environmental liabilities and
environmental restoration of areas of use;
Quantification and budgeting of environmental services proposed in the
project.

It must also include the review and approval of this discipline, which is an
integral part of engineering projects, as assigning regimental of the
CGMAB.

Adjustment of Federal Roads


The requirement for
environmental regulation of
federal highways resulted
from the publication of
Decree N 4340/2002,
which indicated the need to
obtain environmental
permits for corrective
operations or to rectify all
projects implemented in the
country before the year
2002.

In 2004 the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Transport signed the
Ministerial Decree N 273/2004 aiming at the creation and establishment
of guidelines for the National Environmental Regularization of Federal
Highways.

In 2010 the IBAMA issued the Normative Instruction N 02 which deals
with standards to be applied for the environment licensing necessary for
the settlement of federal highways. In other words, the activities to expand
the capacity of federal roads, as a whole or in part, the maintenance,
restoration and even the replacement of special works of art came to meet
legislated environmental requirements.

In 2011, through another Inter Ministerial Decree of the Ministries of
Environment and Transport (N 423) was instituted the Environmentally
Sustainable Federal Highway Program (PROFAS), which aims to promote
the development and implementation of projects and activities necessary
to the environmental regularization of paved federal highways which have
does not posses the environmental license.

This Inter Ministerial Degree delegates to the DNIT competence for
planning, implementation and coordination of institutional the PROFAS
and determines, in its fourth article, the period of up to 360 days for those
responsible for paved federal roads and operating without environmental
permits, to sign Commitment Term with IBAMA to present Report of
Environmental Control (RCAs), which will support the environmental
regularization actions.

Environmental Management of DNIT
Overview


The environmental
demands arise from
environmental licensing
requirement that
constitutes an instrument of
the National Environmental
Policy, instituted by the
Law N 6.938 of August 31,
1981. The implementation
of infrastructure is
classified by Resolution of
the National Environmental
Council - CONAMA, N 01 of 1986 and N 237 of 1997, as being of
significant environmental impacts and, therefore, depend on the
preparation of the EIA/RIMA.

To understand the values that make up the costs of environmental
management projects focused on transportation infrastructure it is needed
to enter the universe of licensing organs that, regardless of size or
characteristic of the enterprise, usually require the completion of about 22
basic environmental programs, in addition of the specific programs that
are determined according to the particularities of the region.

Other partaker organs of the licensing process are requiring the
submission of specific studies to grant approval for the licensing of the
project. Its the case of the FUNAI, which requires the submission of
studies of the physical, biotic and socio-economic environment of the
Indigenous Lands of the area of influence of the project, in addition to the
assessment of impacts and proposals for compensatory measures.

Protection of Archaeological Sites

Archaeological sites are defined and protected by the Law n 3.924/61,
being considered assets of the Union. Thus, under the projects of
transport infrastructure, a number of efforts are commonly undertaken, all
from the perspective of combining protection and viability of the
enterprise.

Guided by the IPHAN Ordinance n230 of 17/12/2002, the archaeological
procedures required for the environmental licensing matched the different
stages of the enterprise: during the issuance of the LP is held the
"archaeological diagnosis", which consists in evaluating the potential of an
archaeological area; for the LI, it is made an "archaeological survey",
which is the location of the sites that will be potentially affected, whether in
the areas of direct or indirect impact of the project, and finally, during the
LI and before the LO, it is done an "archaeological rescue" of sites that
may be identified during the exploration and survey (excavation and study
of sites located in accordance with the project approved by IPHAN before
it occurs the possible negative impact) .

The importance of preserving archaeological sites focuses not only on the
findings of material shown (ceramic, burials, lithic artifacts, faunal
remains, etc.) but also in analyzing the context in which they were
identified, making it possible to reconstruct the environment and collective
space occupied by our ancestors.

Thus, besides the technical effort undertaken at all stages of the
development process of archaeological research, the studies predict
various educational activities, so that knowledge can be passed on to
society.

BR-101 SOUTH
Archeological Findings in the River Cubculo SC

In the framework of the duplication
of the BR-101 South, the signed
covenant with the Foundation to
Support Education Research and
Extension of Unisul allowed the
rescue of 13 archaeological sites
along the area of direct impact of the
highway.

Among the sites listed to the rescue, for the most part, were found the
shell mounds, which can be understood as large deposits of shells, faunal
remains, among other materials resulting from human activity, mainly
groups of hunter-gatherer inhabitants of the coast of Brazil.

Most of the archaeological discoveries, however, happened in the
Shellmound of the River Cubculo, where 93 graves were found,
associated with various materials such as funeral ax blades in stone,
necklace beads and other artifacts.

Through dating processes which use carbon-14 and evaluation of the
human collagen was possible to indicate that this particular group has
lived in between 2,730 BP (before present) to 2,050 BP, and that their diet
was composed mainly of marine resources (fish and, perhaps, molluscs).

The discovery, combined with other studies, provides a glimpse of the
region there are 5000 years, when there was the retreat of sea level and
consequent formation of lagoons, estuaries and mangroves rich, so this
scenario where the population can write your story. (Source: FAEPESUL-
UNISUL/2011).

Ended the Work of identify and rescue, the archaeological sites
have been grounded and are now protected and preserved.

The findings, however, require further laboratory studies (new
datings and analysis of mitochondrial DNA of the burials, for

Indigenous and Traditional Communities

Amid the environmental management actions focused on transportation
infrastructure, the various programs to support indigenous and traditional
communities located in areas of influence of the projects needed to improve
and modernize the federal railroad mesh, are highlighted, such as:

Support to land tenure of Indigenous Lands and Quilombos;
Support the protection and enforcement of Indigenous Lands;
Implementation of Environmental Education programs and social
communication specifically for this target audience;
Implementation of programs to generate alternative income;
Supporting the development of activities to guarantee subsistence of
traditional communities.

With the implementation of these programs the DNIT has been
establishing itself as an important agent of development, since the
compensatory and mitigatory actions have as a premise to stimulate
structuring actions that ensure adignified survival and the maintenance of
these peoples culture. Below are listed highways involved with
indigenous programs.

Indigenous Component

Like all traditional peoples, the Indians have their history, life and culture linked and
dependent on the land and today they are engaging in the struggle to keep their areas or
in search for new spaces that allow a dignified survival and maintenance of their
cultures.

Considering the high capillarity and all necessary investments in improving and
modernizing the federal railroad grid, the DNIT has emerged as an important agent in the
development of compensatory mitigation actions in benefit of the communities located in
areas of influence of its endeavors.
26
Among the actions under way, we highlight the Kaingang Communities Support
Program, developed in the framework of the works of doubling the BR-386/RS, which is
a stimulating policy of structuring actions as a form of environmental mitigation and
compensation.

Investing in stocks of quality of life for the people Kaingang

In areas of influence of the BR-386/RS, in the stretch between the towns of
Taba and Estrela, are found seven Kaingang indigenous communities, one
of which will be directly affected by the works and six that are subject to
indirect impacts of the duplication. None of these communities have
demarcated territory, so that the villages occupy areas of third parties or of
the Union, in other words, the environment domain of the highway.

The Kaingang have in their handicrafts made from bamboo, vines and native
seeds their main productive activity, however, those activities are not able to
provide sufficient income conditions for the survival of the community.

The increasingly occupation of the region has confined the sources of
materials for crafts because the land stript of the highway BR-386/RS figured
as one of the last areas for extraction. With the removal of vegetation,
essential to the viability of the project of the road, the community ended up
loing its main source of income.

By recognizing that land is an essential element for the physical and cultural
survival of indigenous peoples the Program for Indigenous Communities of
the BR-386/RS the DNIT had acquired and distributed 135 hectares of land
for the seven communities impacted: Estrela, Lajeado, So Leopoldo,
Farroupilha, Morro do Osso, Morro Santana and Lomba do Pinheiro, which
will be intended for housing, subsistence practices and reproduction of the
traditional way of life.

Associated with the acquisition of areas, there are being implemented
sustainability initiatives, productive training, recovery of degraded areas,
media and promotion of traditional knowledge. During the construction
period the DNIT will also provide monthly food parcels to 170 Kaingang
families.

At the end of the program is expected that all the communities involved have
settled areas on behalf of the FUNAI, and are trained and organized for the
development of productive activities that generate income and focused on
food security.

It is expected therefore that the effort of the DNIT contributes to the survival,
physical and cultural of the Kaingang people and their future generations.

Actions to reduce the impacts


One of the environmental impacts related to the efforts to enable
enterprises of transport involves the loss of biodiversity, it happens either
by the running over of wild animals, or by the loss or fragmentation of
habitat, factors that contribute to reduce the size and persistence of local
populations (fauna and flora).

Regarding the activities of removal of vegetation, beyond the observance
of environmental regulations, many efforts are made so that wont be
unneeded supression and that the reforestation, made primarily in areas
of Permanent Preservation of water resources intercepted, in Units of
Conservation or even in other Areas of Ecological Interest, effectively
compensate the impact generated by new development.

Specifically, regarding the mitigation of impacts to wildlife, large and
detailed surveys are designed so that one has knowledge about the local
fauna composition and best practices, with smaller impacts, can be
adopted.

Thus, the following programs can be developed:

fauna monitoring;
monitoring of wildlife roadkill ;
monitoring the implementation of wildlife passages.

Minimizing Losses


The works around the duplication of the BR-101 South it was included to
the "program of fauna and flora protection" the monitoring of wildlife
crossings effectiveness, whose function is to prevent death by trampling
of wild animals during the crossing of the roads. For this, in 2007 it was
implanted 25 fauna passages along the 238.5 km off the highway is the
stretch of Santa Catarina and 21 wildlife crossings in the 99.5 km in the
segment of the Rio Grande do Sul.

The passages are built in concrete structures, it can be drains or galleries.
Associated with this measure are installed nameplates and even fences to
guide extension of approximately 100 meters on both sides of the
highway. Arguably these mechanisms allow the animals to identify and
direct the safe crossing of the highway.

In a first assessment of the efforts the results obtained were encouraging:
in the period December 2009 to November 2011, in 14 campaigns it was
identified footprints within the passages, also it was recorded a reduction
in the number of roadkills. In the lot 22/ SC, where the highway crosses a
Protected Area, the State Park of Serra do Tabuleiro, and the installation
of fencing has already been finalized and no trampling of wild animal was
recorded.

In the coming evaluations may be assessed the effectiveness of fencing
along the entire stretch deployed, especially in hotspot areas.

Works and Discoveries - The Rescue Effort of Protected Species

The Environmental Impact Studies (EIA), done by the National
Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT) for the works of the
doubling of the BR-116/392, identified the presence of the annual
fish of the Rivulidae family. The discovery was decisive for the
change of the engineering schedules of the work and the
environmental management actions were planned, since 50% of
the species of this family are included in the Endangered category
in Brazil (MMA, 2004).

The annual fish, also known as fish from the clouds, live in aquatic
environments commonly called temporary ponds which is not
connect to any river. The life cycle of the species is limited and
closely related to the dynamics of temporary wetlands. Individuals
reproduce and lay their eggs in the substrate of the ponds until his
death, when the pond is drying up. The annual fish eggs remain
dormant in the soil during the dry season and begin to develop
with the reflood of the puddles.

Management actions on the works of the highways duplication
included the rescue of the fishand the relocation of the substrate.
The rescue was carried out in a season when the puddles are full
and involved the capture of the annual fish from the pond that
would be impacted by the works of the highway, and released
near by in environments that would not suffer intervention.

Another mitigation measure, the relocation of the substrate, was
developed in the dry season. The clods of soil where the fish eggs
were deposited were removed from the target area and placed in an area nearby with
the same environmental features.

The Monitoring, vital to assess
the strategy and ensure the
conservation of the species, will
happen until the end of the

Green Wall - Innovating Technology for Environmental Management

The work of the BR-101 NE, near the forest of the Usina Santa Tereza,
required, specifically in Lot 6, in Pernambuco, the search for innovative
solutions, in view of the steepness of the slope, the need for less earth
moving and the suppression of native vegetation.

The reinforced soil structures, also known as Green Wall, has proved to
be an efficient alternative in the construction of steep embankments,
retaining walls and considering the economic benefits that these vertical
structures offer when compared to conventional structures.

Added to that the safety of the technology in terms of the erosion control
and the easy adaptation to different fields, being able to undergo large
deformations without the occurrence of instability problems or damage the
security of the work.

In the sixth lot of BR-101 NE, the usage of the Green Wall allowed the
landfill to be executed at an inclination of 75, not being necessary the
suppression of native vegetation.

The next figure shows the assembly of
reinforced soil embankment in the deposition

Rescue of Flora in Transport Infrastructure Project


The removal, transportation and replanting of plant
species to the viability of projects of transport
infrastructure is a meaningful activity for the preservation
of native flora of the region. To do so, before cleaning the
land strip of the enterprise some studies are made to
identify possible species protected by law as well as the
possibility of collection of certain seeds and plants in the
area to be deleted.

The species are transplanted to sites chosen in advance and, in addition
to exercising the ecological function of enrichment areas to be recovered,
can also be used in compensatory plantings. It is the green of the
Brazilian biodiversity is protected!

The Rescue of the flora is regulated in the Environmental Licensing
process with the Authorization of Removal of Vegetation - ASV, an activity
that includes the deforestation, cuts and embankment for the opening of a
new highway. The necessary studies needed for the activities to take
place in accordance with the legislation allow the lifting of a range of
information about the regional flora and their conservation status. The
rescue, on the other hand, can be evaluated as an effective action to
mitigate impacts, especially when you consider that each population of a
plant species is unique and carries with it genetically information different
from other population of the same species in another the area.

In addition to plant species, the recovery may also include the storage of
soil and litter layer (leaves, twigs and seeds that occurs within the dense
forests). This material helps to restore the habitat, since it preserves the
biological and chemical characteristics and even some microorganisms
important for the regeneration of forests.

BR-101 NE
Rescuing Bromelias


In the works of the BR-101 NE, which connects the municipalities of Novo
Lino to Joaquim Gomes - Alagoas, the rescue of flora has been focused
on the bromeliads, family of over 3,000 species and thousands of hybrids,
of which the pineapple is the most popular one.

Contrary to what some think, bromeliads are not parasite plants, but
epiphytes, in other words, they rely on other plants in search of more light
and ventilation. There are also some terrestrial species or rupicolous
(which grow on rocks). In Brazil there are over 1,500 cataloged species
(MMA, 2008).

The bromeliads, besides providing food and water to the food chain and
nutrient cycle in the forest, has great importance to maintain the
biodiversity of the fauna, because the shape of the leaves allows the
accumulation of organic matter and water, creating micro habitats for
various organisms. They are also important indicators of the conservation
status of forests, since they are extremely susceptible to changes of
luminosity and moisture.

For the choice of relocation site of the 150 bromeliads rescue for the
implementation of the BR-101 NE, besides the local studies, it was also
considered the extensive experience of the leader of the community TI
Wassu-Cocal and the fact that indigenous land harbor one of the last
remnants of the Mata Atlantica in the region, besides being an area
essential to the preservation of environmental resources.

Environmental Education Program


The environmental education programs, developed in the projects under
the responsibility of the DNIT, aim to build social values, knowledge and
attitudes focused mainly on environmental conservation, common
property of the people and essential to life.

The proposed actions, address the importance of investment in transport
infrastructure, the impacts involved and the necessary efforts so that they
do not happen - or they can be minimized to the maximum, among other
topics.

To this end, various activities are promoted, including recreational
workshops and training courses with different themes, including those
focusing on income generation.

BR-448/RS
Focus on Solid Waste

The BR-448/RS, also known as Park Road, is one of the works included
in the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) and is aimed at reducing the
heavy traffic of vehicles in the BR-116/RS.

The environmental education program organized around the BR-448/RS
has been working intensively with the school community of municipalities
of Sapucaia do Sul, Esteio, Canoas and Porto Alegre, a total of 30
elementary schools.

The work, relied heavily on art education, has been using the sources and
management of solid residues as a guiding theme. The mascot of the
environment management of the BR-448 is the Joo de Barro (Furnarius
rufus), one of the most common species the area where the road is being
constructed, has been encouraging teachers, parents and students to
rethink practices and better understand the importance of the investment
made by the Federal Government.

Art Education

To broaden the audience reached by the actions of the
Environmental Management of the BR-448/RS it was
created the exhibition "What tree do you want for the
future? Do not make waste the seed."

The exhibition, which uses waste found on the roads
access of the works of the BR-448/RS, invites the viewer for an interesting
reflection on our consumer society and its consequences on the future of
the planet.

The exposition is composed by four trees made out of recycled iron,
covered with garbage, and 24 photographs showing unusual elements.

Praise from the media, it already toured
several sites, including the Thematic Social
Forum - another world is possible, held in
Porto Alegre in the 27th to January 29, 2012,
an event which discussed social and
environmental justice and brought together
more than 40 thousand people.

Environmental Education in the village of Passage

The works of BR-448/RS demanded
the removal of the families residing in
the range of the enterprise domain.
Thus, 300 houses were built in the town
Vila de Passagem/ RS to house these
families temporarily until the permanent
homes are ready.

Besides free water and electric power,
the relocated residents are receiving
guidance on environmental health: personal hygiene, neighborhood
relations, caring for domestic animals, waste disposal, among others. The
effort is to make this period of transition quiet and with quality of life for the
population envolved.

Until the month of December of 2011 were attended 111 families, totaling
about 450 people. These actions will be performed during the period when
families stay at this location.

Social Communication Programme

The social communication programs aims to ensure, integrate and
monitor the access of information to all actors and stakeholders involved
in the venture.

BR-262/MS
Social Communication Program

The media campaign of the BR-262/MS was elaborated with the objective
to educate users about the importance of sustainable integration of the
works of the highway with the ecosystem, promoting the concepts of
environmental conservation and the consequences of human actions on
the environment.

Target Audience

The target audience of the campaign, diagnosed on field visits conducted
between April and July 2011, involves a wide range of users of the
highway. In the general framework there is the resident population of the
region and more specifically some groups perceived as priorities such as:

Bordering Communities (neighborhood associations, indigenous
settlements);
Professional of the Enterprise (workmen and engineers);
Schools (education professionals and students);
Authorities of local, state and federal organs;
Professional drivers of transportation companies (trucks or buses and
their passengers).

Regarding the drivers, given the severe impacts that represent the roadkill
of wild animals, there were selected and signed partnerships in strategic
locations to perform actions such as:

Transmission of music;
Projection of videos / documentaries;
Informal conversations;
Lectures.

The actions developed also aim to mobilize the government and the local
medias as important partners in the dissemination of campaign
messages.

Due to the tone of the campaign is also motivational, character creation, in
addition to broadening and enriching the communication strategy is a
representative and spokesman of the Environmental Management,
generating an interaction more direct and humane.

Jingles - The production of jingles and songs are
configured as a diverse strategy of the campaign
and are designed to one of the most important
public of the BR-262/MS: the Bus Drivers of the
region. The 12 songs created included various
popular rhythms, including regional such as the

FORMALIZATION OF PROCEDUES
Environmental Liability of Contractors - RAC

The initiative of creating the RAC aimed to
contribute to the prevention and/ or minimization of
potential environmental impacts and numerous
disorders through the guidance of contractors for
the DNIT for the execution of works.

The CGMAB subsidized the development of the
Service Instruction DG 03 of 04/11/2011, which
compiles, in a didactic way, the main Brazilian environmental requirements that must be
considered in the context of enabling the transport infrastructure.

The Instruction, incorporated to the contractors and insured of this Authority, together
with the technical standards of the DNIT, the ABNT and the Ministry of Labor and
Employment, aims, therefore, to establish and alert the companies that execute the
works and services on the responsibilities and burdens inherent in the actions taken
such as:

Comply with the conditions of service specifications of the DNIT, private and
complementary;
Use methods and procedures with less interference in the environment;
Ensure the physical safety of workers involved;
Disseminate knowledge concerning the environment, health, accident prevention,
among others.

Irregular disposal of solid residues at the margins of highways

Another contribution based on the experience of the
technical team of CGMAB culminated in the
publication, on January 23, 2012, of the Service
Order/ DG N1 of the DNIT that deals with the
irregular disposal of solid waste along the highways
under the jurisdiction of the superintendents of the
DNIT.

The Order of Service has determined that all the Regional Superintendents of the DNIT
do surveys on highways under their jurisdictions and if irregularities are identified in this
sense, they are to be forwarded to the federal government in the Specialized Federal
Attorney of the DNIT of the respective state, besides the City Hall, Federal Highway
Police, state or municipal environmental organ and its Environment Council for
information and legal adoption of the measures.

GOALS

The CGMAB is aimed at expanding investment in organizational learning processes,
seeking to share good practices achieved in the management of environmental projects,
thereby optimizing public resources. From this perspective, one of the efforts is to
strengthen environmental management actions, continuously and systematically,
seeking even to formulate indicators that allow for better monitoring and evaluating the
environmental performance of enterprises, which will allow a greater exchange of
successful solutions and the consequent minimization of impacts.

The efforts have also been undertaken to standardize procedures, including basic scope
for PBAs, among others, aiming to achieve a level of management that is compatible
with the growing demand of the environmental services.

All the knowledge produced and accumulated experiences has been systematized so
that they can be easily accessed by the academic community and also by the civil
society, thus contributing to a more effective analysis of the licensing processes
implemented in the country.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Our thanks to the environmental managements that made available photos and good
stories, the precious contributions of Rachel Lacerda, Juliana P. Julio Silva and Maia,
and the entire staff of the CGMAB/DPP/DNIT that strives daily in the mission to develop
transport infrastructure in Brazil on a sustainable basis.

GLOSSARY

Endangered species: systematization of information organized by the Ministry of
Environment and indicates which animals and plants are recognized as threatened to
disappear from nature.

To classify the species it was proposed categories of threats based on criterias adopted
by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN), a world reference in the
elaboration of Red Lists. The IUCN criteria seeks evidences related to the size, isolation
or population decline of species and extent of their distribution areas.

From these data, species are grouped according to:

Extinct,
Extinct in the wild,
Threatened
- Critically endangered;
- In danger
- Vulnerable
Near Threatened
Not Threatened
Deficient Data.

EIA (Environmental Impact Study): Is one of the elements of the process of
environmental impact assessment. It is the preparation, by a multidisciplinary team, of
technical document to analyze, systematically, the consequences of implementing a
project on the environment, through methods of Environmental Impact Study and
techniques of prediction of environmental impacts.

EVTEA: Technical, Economic and Environmental Feasibility Studies is the set of studies
needed to check the feasibility of performing a particular piece, or set, of transport
infrastructure embodied mainly in the traffic studies, highway capacity and its level of
service, combined with additional research and other studies, as well as the other works
and engineering, socio-economic and environmental studies needed.

Implementation of Environmental Programs: Execution and implementation of
environmental programs described in the Environmental Permits and listed in the
Environmental Basic Plan - PBA or Environmental Control Plan PCA, and being in
46
6
strict agreement with these studies.

Environmental Management: These activities involve the evaluation and review, with
environmental emphasis, of all technical documentation of the enterprise, in the
qualitative aspect, aiming at the upgrade of the preparation of environmental programs;
the support and management of the agreements to be stablish with specialized
companies or research institutions/ NGOs for implementation and development of
environmental programs; support and installation of announcements to be signed with
specialized companies; management together with environmental organs and
institutional support with the other actors (Public Ministry (prosecutor), DNPM, Federal
and Municipal environmental Agencies, IPHAN FUNAI, Civil Defense, municipalities,
etc..) and the preparation of an Environmental Management System, as well as feeding
data into the Support System for Federal Highway Environmental Management -
SAGARF.

Hotspot: Priority areas for conservation, considering the relation degree of biodiversity
