Through this work we sought to identify the environmental and social impacts resulting from extraction of sand in the river in its course Santa Maria in the city of Don Pedrito, and changes in the lives of members of the cooperative Catareia, what refers to its financial condition and social after the legalization of the cooperative. Through the use of photos, maps and interviews for the largest possible number of cooperative members, came to the conclusion as to the sustainability framework proposed by the entity in relation to the generation of income and employment, environmental impacts promoted by various social actors, including by the sanding, the future of the children, etc.. It may be noted that mining activity in the study area is dependent on a wide network of support, both public as private. It was also noted that the local population has a great interest in the cooperative to work, but without a fixed extraction area, the project becomes sustainable impracticable. By end, it was concluded that the sand mining activity in urban watercourses generates negative environmental impacts, as well as creating positive social impacts. The observance of this framework and legislation generates a local sustainability, essential to the residents of the study area exceed the current framework of social vulnerability.
