Jalisco Environmental Prosecutor Reports 133 Inspections, 44 Closures in Q1 2026

The campaign zeroes in on the Río Santiago watershed to force permit compliance at high‑risk sites.

Overview

  • PROEPA, which disclosed the results Wednesday, said a sweep from January 7 to March 27 led to temporary or partial shutdowns across Jalisco.
  • Ninety‑nine of the 133 visits focused on towns in the Río Santiago priority area because officials identified possible severe harm to the environment there.
  • Inspectors worked in 33 municipalities and checked air emissions, handling of special‑management waste, farm operations, environmental impact files, and final waste‑disposal sites.
  • Notable actions included temporary partial closures in Poncitlán on March 3, Sayula on January 27, and at a Tototlán pet‑food plant on March 6 for missing state impact authorizations and violating Mexico’s NOM‑083 landfill rules, including lacking a Single Environmental License.
  • PROEPA asked residents to bolster oversight by emailing detailed reports with precise locations and photos to denuncias.proepa@jalisco.gob.mx.
