BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) -- The Ministry of Environmental Protection has
given an assessment for the construction of a major hydropower plant in
southwest China's Sichuan Province.

The Shuangjiangkou hydropower plant will have a total installed capacity
of 2 GW, with annual power generation to reach 7.93 billion
kilowatt-hours upon completion.

The project will affect the spawning and movement of rare fish species,
as well as the growth of endangered plants, including the Chinese yew,
which is under first-class state protection, the ministry said in a
statement.

The ministry suggested countermeasures to help mitigate the plant's
effect on the environment. The measures include protecting fish habitats
in tributaries, building fish ladders and increasing fish breeding and
releasing, as well as constructing seed banks for rare plants and
cultivating them artificially.

Waste treatment facilities will be built in order to protect the
environment while local residents are relocated, the statement said.

The project is estimated to cost about 27.3 billion yuan (4.42 billion
U.S. dollars), about 1.46 billion yuan of which will be used to cover
the cost of environmental protection efforts, the statement said.

Relevant parties can apply for a public hearing of the assessment during
the period from May 13-17.
