Abstract

Environmental licensing is an administrative tool for environmental management and the appropriate use of ecosystem goods and services, it is an instrument with which the competent environmental authorities have the power to establish a limit on the use and exploitation of these natural resources, specifically in the development of projects, works or activities. (Contraloria general de la republica, 2017). To exercise that limit, the environmental licensing process is based on the environmental regulations in force, which goes hand in hand with measures of prevention, correction, mitigation or compensation of environmental impacts. Therefore, the purpose of these measures and of the licensing itself, is to allow the environmental authorities to grant or not, an environmental license to a project, such decision depends on the proper management given to the environmental impact, according to the management of environmental management measures and how the project activities generate negative environmental impacts to an ecosystem or natural resource, either directly or indirectly. Valterra S.A.S. is a company dedicated to the elaboration, modification and adjustment of the environmental economic evaluation component of the different projects of the electric, hydrocarbon, infrastructure and mining sectors, the company accompanies the company in the framework of the component during the whole process of licensing or environmental study through which the project is going through, so the flow of information and socialization of each of the stages to be developed, between the company that hires such services and Valterra S.A.S. is of great quantity. Having said this, a database was consolidated that allowed the compilation of the status of projects in charge of the company Valterra S.A.S., in relation to relevant studies, environmental economic assessment (EEA) and licensing processes before the National Environmental Licensing Authority (ANLA), from the use of a control matrix. In this process, environmental professionals (environmental engineers) used the control matrix for greater efficiency in the economic valuation of such relevant studies as Environmental Diagnosis of Alternatives (DAA), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Environmental Assessment (EA) and Environmental Management Plan (PMA). The work done with the matrix and with the project status notification spaces with the help of the matrix made it possible to manage each of the corresponding projects in a better way, in addition to complying with the dates established for the corresponding deliveries, the approach to the projects was much more organized and simple, which generates an improvement in the quality of the document prepared. On the other hand, the time of each of the professionals becomes more standardized, allowing them to have a better individual organization to perform their tasks. This, when analyzed as a whole, generates well-being and profitability in the team and in Valterra S.A.S.
