Compliance Inspections, as a core tool for the Supervision of Environmental Compliance in El Salvador, are carried out with the main purpose of preventing and reducing the negative environmental impact that may be caused by people, companies, businesses or institutions whose activities are subject to different environmental requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Article 28 of the Environmental Law establishes that the functions of control and monitoring of the Environmental Assessment process correspond to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN), empowering it to carry out inspections with the support of the Environmental Units, in order to to carry out a verification of the environmental compliance of the obligations established in its environmental permits and also allow it to detect and correct possible infractions of the law.<\/span><\/p>\n
