There is a growing concern for the protection of natural resources and the environment, therefore, the State has public policies on the conservation, preservation, and recovery thereof. Consequently, public or private activities, works, or projects, that due to their nature, characteristics, effects, location, or resources, may generate environmental risks, and which require an environmental impact study prior to the beginning of the execution thereof. Failure to comply with this or other duties and obligations as set forth under the environmental legislation and environmental rules and regulations, may lead to the temporary or final closing of a company, industry, or Project, as well as the application of administrative and/or criminal sanctions, depending on the severity thereof.
