Dear Editor,
The decision by the EPA to not do an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the establishment of a waste treatment / processing facility at Coverden is a serious misstep. There is nothing to lose by having the assessment completed, but much to gain by doing so. CRG calls upon the Board of the EPA, the Ministry of Health and both sides of the aisle of the House of Parliament to insist on having the EIA completed for this oil and gas sector waste processing project. The health of our people and their environment are of utmost importance. Health before wealth! Without health, wealth is of little to no value.
Sincerely,
Jamil Changlee
