River polluting miners face stringent penalties - Guyana Geology and Mines Commission
Stabroek News: Following recent investigations of continuous pollution of the Essequibo River by some operators who discharge tailings waste into the waterway, more stringent actions against miners guilty of such breaches will be taken by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC).
“The GGMC, both the mines officers and environmental officers and technicians have to go out into the districts, that is the watercourses of the Essequibo, Cuyuni, Mazuruni, the Potaro, Mora and Siparuni and take action to prevent siltation of the creeks and rivers”, GINA quoted Benn as stating.
