Oil services company Nalco Champion has ceased all chemical warehousing plans at its Ruimveldt site following a visit by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the location.
Nalco’s plans for the storage of chemicals for eventual transfer to the offshore Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) oil platform has triggered protests from residents amidst concerns about possible dangers to nearby communities.
Nalco on Thursday revealed during a meeting at the New Guyana School, in South Ruimveldt, that it has ceased all operations at Industrial Site, Ruimveldt. The meeting was held by Nalco to address concerns raised by members of the public.
