Draft terms of environment impact survey for gas project completed

The draft Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) terms of scope (ToS) for Esso Exploration and Production Limited’s (EEPGL) proposed gas-to-energy project has been completed.

This was disclosed by Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Kemraj Parsram, who told Stabroek News on Thursday that the agency is being very meticulous in ensuring that the ToS captures all pertinent aspects from the public scoping meetings that were held, along with the inputs received from individual submissions.

Parsram noted that while the draft ToS for the EIA has been completed, the agency is currently having discussions with the consultants regarding its content.
