Chief Executive Officer of Professional Waste Solutions Inc (PWSI) Mahendra Jettoo has denied allegations that environmental impact assessments or community consultations were neglected in the development of the Coverden oil and gas waste treatment plant.
“The EPA would not have granted us approval if we hadn’t met all the necessary requirements,” Jettoo asserted. “Four years ago, the EPA conducted a meeting with the community to discuss the project. We are committed to following environmental regulations and have received approval from both the EPA and the Ministry of Housing. Local residents have also given their consent. It’s only now that the project has been officially launched that some concerns have surfaced. We hold a local content certificate, are a locally based company, and are dedicated to creating jobs for the community while adhering to all regulatory guidelines.”
