EPA acted outside its powers, current EIA process is improper – …environmentalist

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) undertaking of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited has been, at times, irrational and improper and does not comply fully with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act 1996. This is according to the written submissions that were sent to the EPA as part of the public consultation process for the proposed gas-to-energy project by Ms. Simone Mangal-Joly, a distinguished Guyanese environmentalist.
