Independent Resources provides Rivara update

Independent Resources plc, is preparing to submit further information to the Italian National Government commission considering environmental clearance for its planned underground gas storage facility at Rivara in northern Italy.

It follows a formal request from Italy's Ministry of the Environment for additional data following an earlier submission of environmental and technical data by IRG last June. The Ministry said that it was not yet possible to reach a decision on the Environmental Impact Assessment, pending the provision of the new information.

The Environmental Impact Assessment is similar in many ways to the UK's planning process and is designed to create public exposure as a means of ensuring that planned projects are compliant with environmental and regulatory requirements and viable within those parameters. Although the process is expected to stretch across several more months, this in part reflects IRG's commitment to full compliance with all of the necessary environmental and planning requirements surrounding the planned development at Rivara.

IRG Chairman Grayson Nash said: 'For obvious reasons, we are the first to be interested in the environmental and safety aspects of the Rivara project, and we are pleased to be able to supply whatever data are necessary to satisfy the necessary planning and social requirements.'

Once the new environmental and technical data now requested have been submitted, the assessment procedure can commence, and must then be completed within 90 days unless still further particulars are required.
