The Environmental Assessment Board (EAB) has set a public hearing for Tuesday, March 29 on the decision by the EPA not to require an impact study for the proposed new bridge over the Demerara River.
The decision of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been met with condemnation and an earlier process to appeal its decision was aborted. The move for a new hearing comes amid reports that the government is close to clinching a deal for the construction of the bridge. (See story on page 12.)
In a notice in the Guyana Chronicle yesterday, the EAB said the hearing will be held at 2 pm in the Conference Room of the Cara Lodge Hotel at 294 Quamina Street.
