In 2000, the National Congress of the Dominican Republic passed the new environmental law of the country. This law creates a Department of Environment and Natural Resources sets the environment review process required for development.
The law establishes a system of environmental studies and permits, and implements a group of new environmentally-related terms from “protected areas”, “environment quality” and “sustainable use” to “contaminant”, “load capacity” and “sustainable development”. All those terms and studies should be familiar to the investors and businessmen when initiating a business that could be related with environmental effects.
