Burning issue is worrying critics

Environmentalists are expressing concern about the proposed Sujiatuo garbage burner in Haidian district after the local government began its environmental impact assessment last week.

Haidian district government's website included three bulletins in a week that included information about the proposed Sujiatuo plant, which is near the Sixth Ring Road in Haidian district.

The plant is designed to burn 1,800 tons of garbage every day, one bulletin said.
