DDL activating environmental oversight dep’t

With a commitment from Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) to a scheduled overhaul of its plants and works currently ongoing, the Environmental Protection Agen-cy (EPA) believes the company is setting an environmental oversight standard for all to follow.

“DDL is a good example. They have begun the implementation of a new department just to manage environment and are working on schedule on the plants,” EPA Executive Director Dr. Vincent Adams told Stabroek News on Sunday when contacted.

“They have complied [with] the standards set and are working with us. It makes us feel better because the things we have done so far have seen things in the industry performing better,” he added
