At Hermitage Limestone we recognize the impact our operations can have upon the environment.
To reduce this impact we have put certain measure in place to ensure our operations are not a hazard.
Some of these measures include:
 

• Establishment of large sediment settling ponds to minimize run off into the Guanapo river
• Hermitage has recently rebuilt it's large sediment ponds to significantly increase capacity.
• Establishment of smaller sediment ponds and drains to reduce run off before it can reach our larger sediment ponds.
• Installation of misters and sprinklers to reduce air emissions.
• A well equipped service garage ensures optimal equipment performance, reducing our carbon footprint.
• On-site fuel and oil is contained in tanks surrounded by an impermeable bund.
• Collection and containment of all used or waste oil and fluids which are moved off-site.
• Our mining equipment and generators are fitted with engines designed to reduce emissions.
• Establish all operations around rehabilitation plans for the environment.
• Saving of soil and sub-soil material to aid the eventual progressive rehabilitation process.
• Hermitage Limestone has purchased an abandoned agriculture farm which we are restoring to arable land. This will assist us with progressive restoration works, help to off-set carbon emissions and assist Trinidad & Tobago with it's food trade deficit.
