"The law requires payment for pollution, including emissions into the atmosphere. The law makes clear that payment of these "pollution fees" does not protect an activity from other liability for environmental harm. (Art. 16)
The government shall set limits on emissions and dumping based on the norms of admissible human load on the environment, the norms of environmental quality and also technological norms, and use this in permits for the polluting activities. (Art. 23)
The construction and operation of oil and gas production, processing, transport, storage, and sales facilities shall comply with this law. These facilities may be held liable for compensation of environmental damages, and permitting should be conditioned on a showing of financial ability to restore the site once the activity ceases. (Art. 46)"
