In addition, suggest some mitigating measures and / or compensatory, from the quantification of these impacts. The work was developed through bibliographical research, technical visits to the region of the salt pans of the municipality and also through dialogues with the employees of the companies to obtain knowledge of the processes of salt production and identification of the negative impacts generated. Such environmental impacts are generated from the disposal of mother waters in the Açu River, causing possible impacts on local fauna and flora, the disposal of solid waste, topography, vegetation cover, among others. The results obtained in this work promoted some suggestions of mitigating measures and their deadlines for repair according to their severity. This study is relevant to foster future research on environmental impacts in RN.
