Multa por Pulverização Aérea Sem Licença Ambiental

2 verified sources

Definition

Aerial pesticide application (pulverização aérea de agrotóxicos) is classified as a potentially polluting activity requiring prior environmental licensing. Without this license, companies face administrative penalties including fines and vehicle/equipment seizure. Real case documented: 2 aircraft were seized by IBAMA for illegal spraying operations in Mato Grosso do Sul.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Up to R$ 10,000,000 per violation; plus asset seizure (aircraft valuation: typically R$ 500,000–R$ 2,000,000 per unit). Real case: 2 aircraft seized (estimated total loss R$ 1–4 million).
  • Frequency: Per operation without valid license; ongoing until license obtained or operations cease.
  • Root Cause: Confusion between 'registration' (registro) of service providers under Law 7.802/1989 and mandatory environmental licensing (licença ambiental) under Decree 4.074/2002, Article 37, Annex V. Many providers assume state/municipal agricultural registration is sufficient.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Landscaping and agricultural service providers in Brasil waste millions in penalties and operational downtime. Automated compliance verification and license tracking eliminates IBAMA enforcement risk and aircraft seizure.
