A fuel spill at the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Kingston Power Complex that seeped into the Demerara River has led the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to launch an investigation and the two agencies are currently collaborating to determine the cause of the spill.
GPL’s Public Relations Officer Shevon Sears said after the discovery, GPL’s personnel expedited industry- standard safety, health and environmental procedures to contain the spill. She assured the general public that GPL’s efforts to contain the spill have thus far proven successful.
Executive Director of the EPA, Vincent Adams, yesterday explained to this newspaper that officers from his agencies have visited the site to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the spill.
