Environmentalist Simone Mangal-Joly is calling on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) put a pause on all future projects with ExxonMobil until the company begins to fully comply with the various environmental laws.
The call comes as the 28-day public comments period for ExxonMobil’s Uaru project expired on Monday. Exxon recently submitted its application for an environmental permit to undertake the Uaru development project in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana and was conducting scoping meetings to craft the terms of reference for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
