The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has raised concerns about the disposal of raw septic waste into the ocean in Region Two.
Head of Industry and Manufacturing Odessa Duncan said that the EPA is addressing several concerns in the region and is making recommendations to relevant authorities.
Duncan was at the time speaking to councillors and Regional Democratic Council (RDC) officials of Region Two at a meeting held recently in the boardroom of the RDC’s offices. She said that the disposal of raw septic waste in the region should be addressed as it can be hazardous to those who come in contact with it. Duncan added that the issue is not confined to Region Two but encompasses many other regions and the EPA is making recommendations to address the problem.
