5.7 Pollution Prevention and Control Laws

1. The EPA 2076's core: the pollution's prohibition (the emission-discharge beyond standards); the environmental study's regime (the IEE-EIA of U1.4); the polluter-pays instruments (the pollution-charge; the compensation); the environmental auditor; the climate's inclusion (the carbon-trading's framework — the EPA 2076's innovation). 2. The standards' regime — the emission-and-effluent standards (the industry-and-vehicle tolerances); the monitoring (the Department of Environment's labs-and-stations). 3. The sectoral controls: the vehicles' emissions (the transport laws' interface — the green- stickers' faces); the brick-and-industry siting (the local governments' zoning); the waste (the Solid Waste Management Act 2068 — the municipalities' duties; the EPR's introduction). 4. The urban crisis's honest audit: the Kathmandu's air (the winter's emergency); the rivers' state (the Bagmati's cleanup-and-rebound); the waste's management (the Banchare Danda's era) — the law's ambition-and-implementation's gap.
