P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 11022g
Environmental compliance in accordance with subsection (b)(3) of § 8001a of Title 12, known as the “Environmental Public Policy Act,” is an informal environmental planning process carried out before the execution of the proposed action; therefore, it must be carried out prior to filing the General Construction Permit. The Permit Management Office shall act as the proponent agency with regard to the environmental planning process in cases where a General Permit is sought, ensuring the evaluation of the proposed use and the applicability of the process. The provisions applicable to the environmental planning process are those established by §§ 9011 et seq. of this title, specifically in § 9018d of this title.
The recommendations and comments of agencies such as the Electric Power Authority, the Aqueduct and Sewers Authority, the Highways and Transportation Authority, the Telecommunications Regulatory Board, and the Firefighters Corps, among others, with regard to the proposed use and the eligible business, which are necessary as part of the environmental planning process, shall be obtained through the Permit Management Office. Such recommendations and comments shall be filed along with the General Construction Permit application. These agencies and any other, if applicable or required, shall issue their comments within ten (10) days as of the filing of the environmental document.
