During March 15-16, 2021, the Agency conducted a two-day workshop at its Whim Office in Region 6 which targeted developers/owners from gas stations located in Region 5 and 6. The objectives were to raise awareness on the EPA’s Environmental Authorisation Process and applicable regulations for gas stations/ bunkering operations, and ensure gas station operators are equipped with the relevant knowledge to become authorised and remain compliant. Additionally, emphasis was placed on the requirements and importance of submitting annual reports and the need for all their fire equipment to be serviced periodically. This was one of a series of capacity-building planned throughout this year to avoid and reduce incidences of spillage and manifestation of potential hazards.
