In forceAM

A project is categorized under the Listado Taxativo in force, the exhaustive project list (Ministerial Agreement 402-2021; predecessors AM 199-2016, 204-2019 and 264-2019), under Governmental Agreement 137-2016 (RECSA). The entry 'warehouse for the storage of non-hazardous finished goods (without cold rooms)' exists (CIIU 5210, impact factor: area in m², thresholds of 1,500 and 5,000 m²); there is also 'office-warehouse complex' (CIIU 4100, threshold 3 warehouses) and 'industrial parks and complexes' (CIIU 4100, threshold 1 ha). A dry warehouse typically falls into B2 or C, both processed with an Initial Environmental Assessment (Evaluación Ambiental Inicial, EAI); B2 requires an individual environmental consultant or a firm registered with the Ministry of the Environment (MARN). The file is tracked at apps.marn.gob.gt and digital processing at marndigital.marn.gob.gt.
