Resumo: | The mining activity plays a vital role to the economy of a country. However, inherent to its activity, a mining company causes environmental alterations where it is installed. To manage these impacts and assure that mining companies are taking compensatory measures, the government has created a system of environmental licensing. Minas-Rio ore slurry pipeline system, the largest of the world, had a controversial and complicated process of requesting licenses from the Federal Public Ministry. Nevertheless, through political willingness of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro states, obtained approval permits, as well as tax incentive benefits and the public utility title. In 2018, with less than four years of operation, Anglo American mining company, manager of the system, had reported two occurrences of ore slurry pipeline rupture. It spiled 474 tons of iron ore slurry into the Santo Antônio do Grama River. This paper aimed to evaluate the main socio-environmental impacts caused by the rupture of the Minas-Rio ore pipeline from point of view of media. To achieve this, have sought to elucidate the main impacts and the main post-accident news. Research was conducted in the main media of the country, as well as bibliographic search in case studies, thesis and articles. Findings of this study, indicate that socio-environmental impact, arising from the Minas-Rio ore slurry pipeline, is well beyond the rupture episodes occurred in March 2018. Also, the results show that economic power was placed above duties towards the environment. |

Sin embargo, una empresa minera trae intrínseca a su actividad la alteración del entorno donde se instala. Para gestionar eses impactos e garantir que medidas compensatorias sean aplicado por la empresa minera, el gobierno creó un procedimiento de licencias ambientales. Lo mineroducto sistema Minas-Rio, el más grande del mundo, tuvo procesos de solicitud de licencias controvertidas y llenas de embrollos junto con el Ministerio Público Federal. Sin embargo, contando con la buena voluntad política de los estados de Minas Gerais y de Rio de Janeiro, recibió no solo las licencias de autorización, pero también, beneficios de incentivos fiscales y el título de utilidad pública. En 2018, con menos de cuatro años de operación, la empresa minera Anglo American administradora del sistema, registró dos ocurrencias de ruptura de lo mineroducto, que acumulan 474 toneladas de pulpa de mineral de Hierro en el arroyo Santo Antônio. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar los principales impactos sociales y ambientales causados por la ruptura de lo mineroducto Minas-Rio desde la perspectiva de los medios y, con ese fin, buscó de dilucidar cuáles fueron estos impactos principales y cuáles fueron las principales noticias posteriores al accidente. Se realizaron encuestas en los principales medios del país, además, investigación bibliográfica en estudios de casos, tesis y artículos. Como resultado del estudio, se puede afirmar que el impacto social y ambiental derivado del mineroducto Minas-Rio está mucho más allá de los episodios de ruptura que ocurrieron em marzo de 2018 y que el poder económico se colocó por encima de los deberes con el medio ambiente.É inegável a importância da atividade mineira para a economia do país. Contudo, um empreendimento mineiro traz intrínseco à sua atividade a alteração do meio ambiente onde se instala. Para gerenciar estes impactos e garantir que medidas compensatórias sejam aplicadas por parte da mineradora, o governo, criou um procedimento de licenciamento ambiental. O mineroduto sistema Minas-Rio, o maior do mundo, teve processos de solicitação de licenças polêmicos e cheio de imbróglios junto ao Ministério Público Federal. Entretanto, contando com a boa vontade política dos estados de Minas Gerais e do Rio de Janeiro, obteve não apenas as licenças autorizativas, mas também, benefícios de incentivo fiscal e o título de utilidade pública. Em 2018, com menos de quatro anos de operação, a mineradora Anglo American administradora do sistema, registrou duas ocorrências de rompimento do mineroduto, que acumularam 474 toneladas de polpa de minério de ferro no ribeirão Santo Antônio. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar os principais impactos socioambientais causados pelo rompimento do mineroduto Minas-Rio sob a ótica da mídia e, para tanto, buscou elucidar quais foram esses principais impactos e quais foram as principais notícias pós-acidente. Foram realizadas pesquisas nos principais meios de comunicação do país, além de pesquisas bibliográficas em trabalhos científicos. Como resultado do estudo, pode-se afirmar que o impacto socioambiental decorrente do mineroduto Minas-Rio está muito além dos episódios de rompimento ocorridos em março de 2018 e que o poder econômico foi colocado acima dos deveres com o meio ambiente.Research, Society and Development2021-12-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2393010.33448/rsd-v10i16.23930Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 16; e529101623930Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 16; e529101623930Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 16; e5291016239302525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/23930/21179Copyright (c) 2021 Letícia Dimas de Melo; Cláudia Duarte da Conceição; José Alves Ferreira Neto; Júnia Soares Alexandrino; Jussara Aparecida de Oliveira Cottahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMelo, Letícia Dimas de Conceição, Cláudia Duarte da Ferreira Neto, José Alves Alexandrino, Júnia Soares Cotta, Jussara Aparecida de Oliveira 2021-12-20T11:03:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23930Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:39.026022Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
