This Ministerial Decree establishes the modalities for restricting, suspending or eliminating emissions of pollutants and other negative impacts on the atmosphere in the absence of, or in violation of, relevant authorizations. It applies to air pollution from stationary and non-stationary sources. The operation of non-stationary sources that emit excessive emissions shall be prohibited. An order to restrict emissions shall be issued to the owners of stationary sources that exceed the maximum emission standards for air pollution. Order of suspension of emissions shall be issued to the owners of stationary sources in the following cases: (a) non-observance of the order to restrict emissions; (b) non-fulfilment of reduction of emissions; and (c) absence of authorization for emissions. An order to cease the emission of pollutants entirely shall be issued to owner of any stationary source that systematically exceeds emissions limits.
