State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin said in the EIA submitted for the proposed project to the state Environmental Protection Department on June 22, a sufficient buffer zone was provided between the beach area and the project site.
The EPD, he said, had outlined in detail all relevant mitigation programmes in their letter of offer for the approval of the EIA report to the project proponent. The ministry, he added, would continue to communicate with the local communities to ensure that any concern or view of the local communities is taken into consideration.
“Environmental issues that could occur as a result of the implementation of the project, as well as the proposed mitigation measures and monitoring programme were deliberated during the meeting,” he said.
