Even as a spokesman touted plans for several projects that Global Oil Environmental Services (GOES) is hoping to implement at Coverden, on the East Bank of Demerara, its proposed construction of a waste treatment facility in the community is being met with resistance by residents, who are sceptical due to a lack of consultations on the potential effects of the project.
The Environmental Assessment Board (EAB) yesterday facilitated a public hearing regarding the construction and operation of the waste treatment facility and it was during the hearing that the GOES representative Perry Colwart revealed that the project is only one of several that the company intends to pursue in Coverden.
His revelation was made after residents questioned how the community would benefit from the waste treatment facility for the transfer, storage, treatment, and disposal of Exploration and Production (E&P) oil & gas waste to be located at Block ‘X’ TE Huste, Block I, ‘T’ Huste, Coverden, East Bank Demerara.
