OFFICIALS in a southwest city have decided to make an environmental assessment of a planned refinery public following protests by residents over pollution fears last month.
Hundreds of residents demonstrated on May 10 and 16 against plans to build an oil refinery near the city, which will be operated by China National Petroleum Corp, China's largest oil producer.
Li Wenrong, mayor of Kunming, said at a press conference yesterday that details of the assessment will be released to the public, subject to procedures.
The city government will listen to comments and suggestions from the public and communicate with residents, especially those who have concerns about the refinery project, Li said.
The government will respect the opinions of the public and strengthen supervision over the enterprise in order to prevent environmental accidents during the project's construction and operation, he said.
"Supervision will not be missing just because the operator is a major state-owned enterprise," he said.
Although government officials said the project has passed feasibility studies and was approved by the country's top economic planner, residents have still requested that the plant be relocated.
