Abstract

The geological-geotechnical mapping of Estiva Gerbi (Brazil), 1:25.000, has individualized six units based on geological and geomorphological characteristics. Special emphasis was given to 11 areas (open-pit and stacks of refuse mining areas) derived from explotation activity of fluvial clays and clay-stones of the Aquidauana Formation, which were grouped in a specific unit (VI). Its characteristics are modification of the topography, declivity, formation of lakes and slopes erosive processes. Unrecovered, such areas have unplanned uses as fishing areas or waste deposits and are indicated for detailed geotechnical characterizations to provide new destinations.
