The Working Group Discussed the EIA Report of “Standard Cement” LLC
Today, On November 30, the civil movement “Gavigudet” organized a working group meeting in order to discuss and prepare comments/notes on the EIA report of the cement plant – “Standard Cement” LLC.
The company produces both, masonry blocks and cement. The cement is produced by grinding gypsum and additives; for this process two units of China-produced mills.
Three types of cement brands – 300, 400, 500 – are produced at the enterprise, corresponding to European standards.
The presented EIA report refers to the changes in exploitation conditions, particularly, setting up a new cement mill, expanding the warehouse of raw materials and installation of 4 additional cement silages with a capacity of 120 m3 is planned.
Changes envisage the cancellation of two units of mills with a common capacity of 84 000 t/y and the setting up of a new mill instead, with a capacity of 160 000 t/y.
The meeting was held in a zoom format and was led by the invited trainer. After the thorough review of the EIA report trainer and working group members prepared evidence-based remarks and recommendations, in a written manner, which we will share with the National Environmental Agency, as well as with the population.
The public deliberation of the EIA report is planned on December 13, 2022, at 14:00, in the City Hall of Rustavi Municipality. Every citizen has the right to attend the meeting.
