and made available for consultation, stored in SITAC database, and all administrative
processes are now electronic. To assure transparency, technology professionals and
companies have internet access to all the phases of the processes they are involved
in.
Since physical paper administrative processes cannot leave CREA-AM, they had
to be analysed at CREA-AM’s own headquarters, in a suitable room made available
for this study. The names of technology professionals and companies have been
preserved and kept confidential. The methodology applied to study CREA-AM’s
administrative processes followed the subsequent steps:
1. All administrative processes in the environmental area were divided into lots I
and II, respectively for 2017 and 2018.
2. For each lot the environmental activities involved were identified and catalogued.
3. For each catalogued environmental activity, the potential environmental impacts
were studied.
4. For the administrative notifications regarding inadequate practices, the causes
were analysed regarding its source and recurrence; it was also registered who
was responsible for the failure: the company or the technology professional.
The data collected through the research of the physical and digital processes
of CREA-AM were analysed to find the most frequently occurring environmental
activities, their potential environmental impacts, and the most frequent inadequate
practices identified, in the years 2017 and 2018.
5 Results and Discussion
The analysis of CREA-AM’s administrative processes revealed that the main registered inadequate practices in the environmental area are the lack of registration in
CREA-AM, the illegal exercise of activities, the lack of hired environmental technicians, and the exercise of activities in the environmental area without the respective
ART (Fig. 1). The frequent lack of environmental technician reveals that companies
are using unskilled workers for the performance of activities in the environmental
area, with consequent risks to the environment that could cause serious damage to
the Amazon Forest. In what concerns failures in adequate registration of companies
in CREA-AM, Fig. 1 shows that the numbers increased a 100% from 2017 to 2018.
This can be explained by the economic crisis that led many professionals to open
waste collection companies without being technically and legally qualified to operate
in this sector.
The analysis of the ARTs registered in CREA-AM in the environmental area, in
2017 and 2018, showed that the most frequent activities performed by environmental
technical professionals include waste collection, waste transportation, waste disposal,
waste treatment, environmental monitoring, environmental management and planning, remediation of degraded areas, environmental impact studies, environmental
licensing and environmental impact assessment.
