Arguing that their health and community are at significant risk in the event of escaped hazardous radioactive waste, residents of Houston on the East Bank of Demerara are challenging the waiver of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) granted to Schlumberger-Guyana Inc. by the EPA.
Schlumberger, one of ExxonMobil’s major subcontractors, has constructed a source storage and calibration building facility at Lot 1 Area X Houston, EBD.
Residents—Danuta Radzik, Vanda Radzik and Raphael Singh—have filed an action asking the High Court to declare the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) decision waiving the requirement of an EIA as being among other things, unlawful and unreasonable.
