This picture was taken before any construction started. The green strip running through cleared area on the right was Vessigny River. All trees have since been removed. The River is gone. West of the cleared site run-off follows what was once Vessigny River's path to the sea - now a mud bowl.
The power plant presently under construction, lies to the south of the 'green strip'. The proposed smelter lies to the north. The cleared land south-west is currently being used to coat gas pipes (it is rumoured these pipes will bring gas to Cove Industrial Estate in Tobago).
Cloud covers proposed port location on coast north-west of 'green strip'. Total cleared area is about 1000 acres which once included secondary forest, three dams, hunting, fishing, recreation and agricultural areas, as well as abandoned Petrotrin oil wells.

I would like to find out if there are plans for a 3rd Drummit to Summit? as well as if there's an email list going around so that people can be updated with what is happening here?
