Activists worry over plans to build plants

Ni stressed that the EPA had not only reviewed all impact study reports since the 921 earthquake, but had also given this information to builders of projects such as the Juifeng Dam (瑞豐水庫) near a newly formed reservoir, Tsaoling Lake (草嶺潭), and Chienmin Dam (建民水庫) near a quake-stricken area in central Taiwan.

"We mentioned to the builders that, because of the earthquake, special considerations must be taken in taking into account environmental impact assessments," Ni said.
