Fuel service stations (PRs) are retail establishments whose activity is regulated by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). Their operations generate solid, liquid and gaseous waste that may contaminate the environment and, therefore, such facilities are defined as high risk polluters by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA). Fuel leaking or spilling might harm the soil and groundwater supply sources. Other than that, PRs offer services such as oil change, cleaning, and lubrication that generate waste contaminants as well. The location of PRs, both in urban and rural areas, aggravates the environmental risks of the activity. Control is needed to minimize the arising environmental risks. This paper aims to implement a model of Environmental Management System (EMS) in fuel service stations in a systematic way as so to increase the efficiency of the fuel retail activity in terms of its waste destination and control. The methodology involves literaturebased research on scientific articles, books, specialized websites and other materials. To build the database of existing environmental prevention structure, questionnaires and interviews were elaborated and applied to those responsible for the operation of two hundred and three fuel stations from Curitiba and vicinity. Data analysis shows the total absence of an EMS and that, although required by law, only a portion of PRs has equipment for prevention, control and containment of leaks. The results supplied the guidelines for the desired specific EMS model. The final result contemplates a system capable of managing environmental activities undertaken by PRs, facilitating operations and bringing a response from the industry that suffers severe pressure from government and society regarding its pollution hazards, thus developing a tool for achieving socio-economic-environmental balance.
