Local environmental groups are urging a halt to an environmental impact assessment for a proposed incinerator in Nantou's Mingjian.
The incinerator proposal has attracted plenty of criticism since being proposed last year, due to its proposed location in the tea producing township.
Government Watch Alliance today raised concerns about the potential pollution of drinking water, and called for the county government to choose a new location for the incinerator before doing a second-round environmental impact assessment.
Nantou currently lacks its own incinerator, forcing it to rely on neighboring cities and counties.
But the incinerator proposal has been highly contentious for both environmental concerns and the local government's handling of the issue.
