The Guyana Port facility at Supply, East Bank Demerara

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that the ship repair and dry-docking facility operated by Guyana Port Inc at Supply, East Bank Demerara requires no Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

In a notice published in yesterday’s Sunday Chronicle, the EPA said that having screened the project in the name of Pritipaul Singh Jr it concluded that it  will not significantly affect the environment and is therefore exempt from the requirement of an EIA.

However, it was pointed out that this decision is in no way an indication that the project situated at Lot 12 Support, EBD is approved.
