The EPA on Friday said that it viewed the Environmental Permit for the upcoming Payara oil well and the Modified Environmental Permit for the pending Liza-1 well as marked improvements on what existed before.
In a statement, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it strongly disagreed with the Stabroek News article titled: `Payara clause could allow Exxon to flare gas for free’ published on Monday June 28, 2021, and the Kaieteur News article titled: `Govt has weakened environmental standards in favour of ExxonMobil’ published on Friday July 02, 2021.
