KOTA KINABALU: An initial Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report for a silica sand mining project will not involve the scenic beach area of Kampung Bangau in Sabah’s northern Kudat district.
State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin said in the EIA submitted for the proposed project to the state Environmental Protection Department (EPD) on June 22, a sufficient buffer zone was provided between the beach area and the project site.
