TRELAWNY, Jamaica — The Jamaica Environment Trust (JET) is raising serious concerns about permits issued by the Natural Resources Conservation Authority (NRCA) for wetland removal and development along an approximately five-kilometre stretch of the north coast road in Falmouth, Trelawny.
In a press release on Tuesday, JET identified six permits associated with sites in the area of Jeffery Construction Limited, Caoli Holding Limited, Supreme Group Limited, Ravi Rochlani and Redoubt Limited.
The agency said according to the Town and Country Planning (Trelawny Parish) Development Order, 2013, the areas associated with these permits are zoned for conservation.
