Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) has remained silent on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review of its entire operations at Diamond, East Bank Demerara.
The review of the company’s operations is viewed as a matter of great concern since the EPA said the company appears to have violated environmental laws.
Stabroek News repeatedly sought a comment from company spokesman Alex Graham, of Tagman Media, who on one occasion promised to issue a statement on the situation but to date there has been no response. On other occasions he was not accessible as calls went unanswered or his phone was turned off.
The EPA embarked on the review on Monday.
According to the EPA head Dr Vincent Adams, the company has made several applications for permission to operate. Before any permits are granted, Adams said the company will have to provide the necessary documentation for review by his officers.
