Another quarrying company has been exempted from conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment here at two locations as the Environmental Protection Agency believes the project will not significantly affect the environment.
The Dragon Mining Company Inc has been given permission by the EPA to set up the stone quarry at the confluence of the Supenaam and Karani rivers, in the Cuyuni Mining District.
While the EPA said that the project summary can be found on its website, this is not the case. It is unclear why the EPA publishes the notices with links for projects not yet uploaded. Calls to the regulatory body’s head yesterday went unanswered.
