The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that it has screened the application for an environmental permit for the proposed China Road and Bridge Corporation Mobile Cement Concrete Batching and Asphalt Mixing Plant.
An ad, placed in the Guyana Chronicle, stated that after a thorough review, the EPA has determined that the project will not significantly affect the environment and is therefore exempt from an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
The EPA cited several reasons for its decision, including the project’s necessity to support the improvement works of the East Bank Demerara Road. The project is located along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, between Madewini and Kuru Kururu.
