After a prolonged period of silence from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Sunday Stabroek has been able to confirm that no decision has been reached as yet on whether to grant an environmental permit for ExxonMobil’s Yellowtail development project.
During a brief interview on Wednesday, EPA’s Executive Director Kemraj Parsram told this newspaper that the regulatory body is currently at the stage of ironing out concerns with ExxonMobil’s environmental consultant, Environmental Resource Management (ERM), relating to its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
