This is fantastic
My comment is on the EIA Report of MOUAU.
1. Title of Chapter 8 should change to read “Decommissioning/Abandonment.
2. Chapter 9 is a misfit and does not conform to FMENv structural guideline.
3. The content of Chapter 9 failed to capture the Stakeholders expections and concerns.
4. The list of EIA preparers did not capture experts in key aspects of the Environmental baseline conditions such as Ecology/Biodiversity, Hydrology/Water Resources, Hydrobiology/Fisheries, Climatology and Community medicine.
Thank you Sir for your comments.
