Abstract

The environmental licensing of potentially polluting activities is of fundamental importance so that problems related to pollution and environmental disasters are avoided.The present work aimed to analyze the evolution of the licensing of mechanical workshop activities in the region of Frederico Westphalen/RS, from 2018 to 2022.A survey of information was carried out through telephone contact with the municipalities that make up the comarca; therefore, it was possible to carry out the research.In municipalities where environmental licensing is issued, there was a higher charge for this activity, but many municipalities still do not carry out this licensing charge.The presence of more than 100 enterprises was verified, however, just over 25% have an operating license.It is necessary to adopt stricter measures to demand this very important stage of the environmental policy to avoid environmental problems in the future.
