Brazil has its wide diversification of natural resources, due to geology of each area. It includes the mining as a process that gathers an economic progress and at the same time, it cannot, to cause unbalances and aggressions to the environment. The municipal district of Santa Maria in its mineral potential, seeking to the creation of immediate employment, linked mainly to the civil construction, developed essentially in extraction of clay, sands and the mineral water. The visual impact caused by the activity of mineral extraction change the municipal image, mainly due the ciliate forest extraction and the erosion.
