A concrete batching company that established illicit operations near to South Ruimveldt Gardens is now setting up a plant at McDoom on the East Bank of Demerara and has been told that no impact survey is needed.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that the establishment of the concrete plant at McDoom by Superior Concrete does not warrant an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

The application was lodged for Superior Concrete by Ian Jones who had been expelled from the country after infractions of his work permit and regulatory orders. He had also verbally abused Minister of Housing, Collin Croal and members of a CH&PA team. It is unclear if the submission by Jones on behalf of the company would have any impact on its application.
