Conclusion of EIA/RIMA about the ambient impacts throughout BR 319: “It is evaluated that the prognostic made points to the ambient viability of the project considering, mainly, that the main processes that result in ambient degradation and of the quality of life from the resident population are already installed currently and that the workmanship will contribute very few directly for the introduction of new degradation processes. However, the accessibility that the highway will increase will turn available for the communities, and interested groups on this region, resources for sustainable orientation of its development.” (ECOPLAN, 2002, p. 72).

Justification EIA/RIMA: “When it deal with the scenery of strong ambient governance, all the indicators (Liquid Present Value, Internal Tax of Return, Benefit-Cost) had shown highly favorable to the project. In this scenery, the ambient costs are mitigated to a desired level what makes the project socially desirable” (UFAM, 2009, Vol. 1, p. 187).
Obs.: the PhD Philip Fearnside argues in this topic that the Brazilian Government will adopt ambient politics similar to those of the Yellowstone Park, what leads us to the conclusion that this term “strong ambient governance” used on EIA reports referring to BR 319 cannot be taken seriously, due to what it has been seen happen to the highway BR 163. Fearnside concludes that this could even happen one day but until this happen wouldn’t remain many trees in the areas opened for the BR319.
