Abstract

This Ministerial Decision is composed of 3 articles. Article 1 states that every industrial, commercial or other kind of establishment is obliged to abide by the stipulations outlined in the environmental permit issued for it. The General Director of Environmental Affairs, the General Director of Environment of the Governorate of Dhofar, and the Directorate of Environmental Affairs in the Directorate General of Regional Municipalities in the regions and the Environmental Inspectorate, are all to enforce the provisions of this Decision. Anyone who hinders their carrying out the obligations of their duties or opposes them is to be banned. Those who contravene the environmental stipulations of article 1 are to be punished by a fine of 100 Omani Riyals (OR). If, after 25 days, the violator continues to contravene, he will be fined 50 OR a day for a period not exceeding 3 weeks, after which the establishment is to cease operations until the cause of the violation is dealt with. If there is danger to the environment or harm to public health, the Ministry can remove the violation at the expense of the violator.
