Extension for public comment on proposed exploratory drilling off Richards Bay coast
Public comments for proposed exploration drilling off the coast of Richards Bay has been extended
THE public comment period relating to the draft scoping report for the proposed exploration drilling project off the coast of Richards Bay has been extended to Thursday (1 March).
Responding to requests made during public meetings earlier this month, an isiZulu version of the executive summary has been prepared and uploaded to the website – https://www.erm.com/eni-exploration-eia – for review.
The comment period has been extended to allow for review of the isiZulu document, but the extension is not limited to the isiZulu version.
