Discharge sampling and penalties under AG 236-2006
- Water for industry
- Industrial water, wells and discharges
- Audited
The regulation obliges the generating entity to take at least two samplings a year, at its own cost, with analyzes matching the parameters in its technical study; the exact article still has to be pinned down against the official text (the MARN PDF did not respond during the audit and the citation rests on a Scribd copy; Consortium Legal, cited earlier, does not mention the frequency). Penalties are administrative and financial: the reference cited by Consortium Legal runs from US$10,000 to US$625,000, plus environmental criminal liability of 6 months to 10 years. Those ranges come from a private legal summary and must be verified against the Environmental Improvement Act (Decree 68-86) and its amendments.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
