New regional non-hazardous waste landfill for Samegrelo Zemo Svaneti

Comment on the Scoping Report

How to provide comments on the Scoping report?

It is important for the SWMCG to understand your concerns and listen to your suggestions so we ensure they are taken into consideration.  In addition to the official public consultation procedure that will be done by MEPA once SWMCG submits the Scoping application officially on June 5th, SWMCG proposes various methods for stakeholders and the public to have access to the scoping information and provide comments.

SPECIAL NOTE RELATED TO THE SITUATION CAUSED BY COVID-19 PANDEMIC:

SWMCG is also hopeful that it will be possible for MEPA to organize a public hearing as per the official procedure.  However, if due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still not possible to hold a public hearing session, SWMCG is committed to organizing a public hearing even after the official Scoping procedure is finished, as soon as it is possible.  Outcomes from the public hearing will be documented and taken into consideration in the EIA report.
