Tullow submits draft EIA to EPA
Tuesday, 8th September 2009
Ahead of the production of the first barel of oil from the Jubilee fields Tullow oil has presented a draft environmental impact assessment to the environmental protection agency for the development of phase one of the project.
The proposed Jubilee Field Phase 1 development would be the first major deepwater offshore oil production project in Ghana.
An EIA is a systematic process that predicts and evaluates the potential impacts the oil drilling and production may have on aspects of the physical, biological, socio-economic and human environment. The EPA would hold public hearings on the draft environmental impact assessment before the document is approved.
here is a report by Kwaku Owusu Peprah. Tullow submit EIA to EPA
I hope the EIA was not accompanied by an envelope cos sometimes the EPA cd b very funny
