The Environmental Protec-tion Agency (EPA), in what can only be described as an unprecedented move, has published the final terms and scope for the Environ-mental Impact Assessment (EIA) for ExxonMobil’s fifth proposed oil project.
The publishing of the terms and scope for the Uaru development prior to embarking on an EIA is something that environmentalists have been advocating for. However, the EPA has largely withheld publishing them prior to the completion of the EIA.
