According to the EPA’s assessment of sixteen
mining companies operating in Ghana, environmental regulations as well
as county’s legal requirements are being flouted.
But Executive
director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Dr. Daniel Amlalo says
there are no prescribed sanctions yet for the defaulting companies.
"One,
they have not complied with the legal requirement for the country; two,
they have released toxic chemicals into the environment, which we said
should not be the case. We want zero releases into the environment but
once you released one, is enough for us as a regulatory body to say your
performance is bad.
