ABSTRACT: Ceramics installed in the municipality of Marabá - PA, whose activities represent impacts on the environment, are pressured by the government, by legislation and by public opinion to adopt concrete measures of preservation and environmental control. Considering, therefore, the alterations that the clay mining activity can cause in the forms of relief and landscape and in the territorial dynamics of the population as well as the need of recovery of the degraded areas, this work had the objective to identify the environmental impacts as a result of the action of the Industrial activity of clay mining and to verify how this activity affects the socio-environmental reality of the population to the surroundings of the enterprises.
