Works And/Or Activities That Do Not Require To Amend Its Environmental License

On March 2nd 2016, the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development ("MADS") issued a norm ("Resolution 0376") listing which works and/or activities inherent to energy, reservoir, dams and river basin water transfer projects ("Project") do not require its executor to request before competent environmental authorities the amendment of its Project´s environmental license or equivalent permit ("License") prior to their execution, since they are considered as minor changes or activities of the ordinary course of the project ("Minor Changes").

Resolution 0376, will only apply to Projects already having a License which was duly granted by the competent environmental authority (either by the National Authority of Environmental Licenses-ANLA, or by local authorities such as Regional Autonomous Corporations, Great Urban Centers and other environmental authorities).
