1. Executive Summary 1.1 Project Overview and Influences of Land Acquisition and Resettlement The total investment of Wucheng Water Environment (Wuwei Section of Xihe River) Comprehensive

Treatment Project in Wuwei County is 122,597,800 yuan, of which, we plan to apply for USD 10

million loans from Asian Development Bank (exchange rate: 1 USD = 6.3 RMB), and the rest will be

self-raised by the enterprises.

This project is composed of: (1) one 25,000 m3/d urban sewage treatment plant; (2) 41.561km of

d400—d1500 supporting pipe network outside the plant.

Asian Development Bank Loan Project Working Group of the People's Government of Wuwei County

has planned for the Resettlement of this project. Due to the plant site change of the construction project,

this project will affect Yuanyou and Chenwan natural villages of Shibei administrative village, Fudu

Town, Wuwei County in Wuhu City. The project will occupy 68.4 Mu lands permanently, which are all

collectively-owned land. The temporary land occupation for construction is 60.5Mu (roads are basically

built along the pipe network, so that the construction does not need land acquisition or demolition). The

land acquisition will affect 27 households, 102 people; no house acquisition influence, and this

resettlement plan is an update version.

1.2 Principles and Rights of Resettlement This resettlement plan is established according to the Land Management Law of the People's Republic

of China (2004), Notice on Strengthening Reform to Strict Land Management Promulgated by the State

Council (No. GF[2004]28), relevant policies of Anhui Province, and the Involuntary Resettlement and

the related social security policies of Asian Development Bank.

On the basis of consulting the local government and the affected people, the enforcement body took a

series of resettlement principles and rights tables. The compensation for land acquisition will be given

to the affected people.

The land requisition compensation includes land compensation, settlement subsidy, young crops grants,

and ground attachment compensation fees. The land requisition compensation standards shall be enacted

according to the district price, and the district price shall be based on the relevant regulations of Anhui

Provincial Government.

Compensations for young crops, trees and the other facilities will be directly issued to the affected

people. The income loss caused by production reduction and sales reduction will be compensated in the

form of cash in the compensation assessment.

Temporary land occupation: temporary land occupation generated for the sewage pipe network

construction; these occupied lands are all current land for roads, no land requisition and demolition

involved; the road surface recovering fees are listed in the construction budget.

1.3 Public Participation and Complaint Public consultation is an important content during the preparatory phase of Resettlement plan. From

June of 2013 to May of 2014, a series of consulting activities have been done aiming at the affected

people, resettlement organization, project design unit and the other project benefit related parties. The

affected people participated in the preparation of the Resettlement plan’s update through measurement

and social economic investigation, and the future consultation work will be carried out during the

5

implementation process of the resettlement plan. Establish dissatisfaction complaining mechanism for

the affected people to dispose the complaints generated in the land acquisition and resettlement affairs;

there are mainly 4 channels:(1) resettlement organization or local resettlement office; (2) project

executing unit; (3) Wuwei County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd.; (4) lawsuit of the people's

court.

1.4 Settlement and Livelihood Recovery In order to reduce the influence of resettlement on the affected people and recover their production and

living standards, the update version of resettlement plan has specifically arranged the settlement

measures. Based on the social economic investigation, analysis to the affected people, and the

resettlement experience of the similar local projects, the resettlement measures and income recovery

have been prepared. These measures include monetized subsidy, giving living subsidy to the affected

people, and security funds provided by the local security system; people who are eligible can obtain the

guarantees. Launch skill training for the affected people (including pig farming, fish farming, increasing

the land output of unit area, and obtaining employment on non-agricultural posts, etc.; project

employment and non-monetary support, etc.). Give monetary compensation for the 68.4 Mu of

collectively-owned land according to the lost land type. 60.5 Mu of lands will be temporarily occupied

during the project construction process, such lands are all built road, on which the sewage pipe lines

will be laid as part of the pipe network; they will not generate any living loss.

1.5 Organizations Wuwei County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. will undertake the general responsibility for

land acquisition and the resettlement plan’s update and implementation, including planning,

implementing, capital arrangement, and the report of land acquisition and resettlement plan. In order to

guarantee the successful implementation of this project, governors in charge of land acquisition and

resettlement will participate in the training on resettlement implementation organized by Asian

Development Bank Loan Project Working Group Office of the People's Government of Anhui Province.

Prepare the resettlement implementing schedule according to the preparatory work and construction

schedule. The resettlement plan will be updated according to the final designing and measuring

investigation, and shall be submitted to Asian Development Bank for examination and approval before

signing the civil engineering contract.

1.6 Cost and Schedule The total cost budgeting for land acquisition and resettlement is 5,723,400 yuan, which occupies 4.67%

of the total project investment, 122,597,800 yuan. The land acquisition had been started in August of

2013, and finished at the end of May, 2014.

1.7 Monitoring and Evaluation The resettlement plan includes a detailed internal and external monitoring and evaluation plan. Wuwei

County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. will provide an internal monitoring report to Asian

Development Bank semiannually; Wuwei County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. will employ

an external Resettlement monitoring organization or company as the independent external monitoring

organization to publish just, independent and unprejudiced monitoring report. A comprehensive

investigation shall be accomplished before implementing land acquisition and resettlement; and the first

monitoring report shall be submitted in December of 2014. Thereafter until the end of this project,

submit a monitoring report to Asian Development Bank semiannually for examination.

2. Project Overview 2.1 Project Context Chaohu Lake has been playing a very important role in flood adjustment and storage, urban and rural

water supply, maintaining ecological balance, and promoting regional development for a long time.

However, with the rapid economic and social development of this basin, the contradictions between the

rapid economic growth of Chaohu Lake basin and the year-by-year increase of Chaohu Lake’s

environment stress, the rapid increase of various kinds of pollutants’ emission quantities and the lag of

urban environment infrastructure construction, and the disharmony between accelerating the

comprehensive treatment of Chaohu Lake’s pollution and the current management system become

prominent increasingly; therefore, it is inevitable to implement the water environment comprehensive

treatment of Chaohu Lake basin, contain the deterioration trend of Chaohu Lake’s water quality,

improve the water environment quality, and gradually recover the natural landscape of elegant lake and

beautiful water in Chaohu Lake basin. According to the “12th Five-Year” planning for the water

pollution control in Chaohu Lake basin, the main thoughts of pollution control in Chaohu are: “serving

diverting clean water into the lake as the basis, building lakeside zone through renovating the collapsed

shoreline, reducing the interior sources through desilting bottom mud, increasing the capacity through

guiding the water of Yangtze River into Chaohu Lake, improving the ecological system through

ecological remediation of this lake region, and comprehensively controlling the outbreak of

cyanobacteria bloom”. Xihe River and Yuxi River which flow through Wuwei County are exactly the

main channels for guiding the water of Yangtze River into Chaohu Lake.

The area of Yuxi River basin is 3808 km2, and the overall length is 76km; it is the boundary river of

Hanshan County, Hexian County and Wuwei County, and the river reach flows through Wuwei County

is 57.35km. The maximum flow rate of river mouth is 1.5m/s over the years. This river is the only way

for the flood discharge of Xihe River in Wuwei County. Xihe River Wuwei section is a tributary of Yuxi

River with a total area of 1.67 km2 and an overall bank line length of 8.12km; it surrounds Wuwei

County from west to east. This river has not been desilted for many years, so that the watercourse is

badly deposited, and the water area reduces a lot; the sewages of the old town and rainwater mix and

flowing Xihe River Wuwei section, making the water quality deteriorate. In addition, some buildings, as

well as reeds and other aquatic plants also badly block the water flow, when rainy season comes, the

river water cannot drain smoothly, and the water level rises, which directly affect the rainwater

discharge capacity, and cause serious pollution; in particular, when Yangtze River is at its highest water

level while Chaohu Lake is at a lower level, the water in Xihe River and Yuxi River may flow backward

to Chaohu Lake, causing significant influence on the water quality of Chaohu Lake; in the meantime,

Yuxi River is also one of the channels for guiding the water of Yangtze River into Chaohu Lake.

In order to renovate the main rainwater outfalls and watercourse desilting, improve the river system

environment quality in Chaohu Lake basin, guarantee the environmental improvement and ecological

security in Chaohu Lake basin, and promote the synchronous increases of economic benefit, social

benefit and environmental benefit in the project area, Wuwei People's Government decided to launch

the Comprehensive Treatment Project Construction of Wucheng Water Environment in Wuwei County

(Wuwei Section of Xihe River) according to the requirements of General Scheme of Water Environment

Comprehensive Treatment in Chaohu Lake Basin, the Twelfth Five-Year Planning Outline of National

Economy and Social Development of Wuwei County and the Urban Comprehensive Planning of Wuwei

7

County.

2.2 Project Description This project will be committed to the construction of urban infrastructure, i.e. newly build a sewage

treatment plant with a treatment scale of 25,000m³/d and its supporting ancillary facilities. In order to

exert the overall efficiency of the sewage system, at the same time of constructing the sewage treatment

plant, the urban sewage pipe network construction shall also be completed synchronously or

appropriately ahead of schedule; the total length of newly built sewage collection pipe network is about

41.561km.

2.2.1 Sewage Treatment Plant Project 1. Scale of sewage treatment plant: 25,000m³/d

2. Address of sewage treatment plant:

The address of the sewage treatment plant planned to be built is north of intersection of the planned

North Huancheng Road and Jingsi Road, Wuwei County; the current status is farmland, and its ground

elevation is 5.16~6.17m. This plant site mainly has the following advantages:

(1) This position locates in the downstream of the drainage system, which is beneficial to the

sewage collection;

(2) It is consistent with the urban comprehensive planning, and will not affect the use of the other

land plots;

(3) It is far distant from the central downtown, so that the operation of sewage treatment plant has

smaller influence on the city;

(4) Xihe River, the receiving water, has a large water volume, strong assimilative capacity and

large environmental capacity; it is absolutely sufficient to collect the tail water generated after the

secondary treatment of this project according to the environmental assessment report, and the water

quality also satisfies the requirement of Level III surface water;

(5) No demolition quantity, low land acquisition cost, and short land acquisition period;

(6) Few neighboring residents, small environmental influence;

(7) The current situation of this place is farmland and vegetable plot, etc., which has flat and

expansive terrain, and good engineering geological conditions, and is beneficial to the future

development;

(8) This plant is located on the west of the planned Jingsi Road, and a concrete pavement road

exists at present on the north, the road condition is good, so that the transportation conditions are

convenient.

3. Environmental benefit of this project

After being constructed and put into operation, this project will increase the urban sewage processing

rate of Wuwei County, greatly reduce and even eliminate the direct discharge of sewage into Xihe River,

thus improving the water quality of Xihe River.

After being constructed and put into operation, this sewage plant will reduce a mass of pollutants which

may be discharged into Xihe River every year, thus playing an important role in protecting Chaohu

Lake basin.

2.2.2 Supporting Pipe Network Project outside the Plant (1) Pipe Network Service Zone

Based on the project feasibility study report and Wuwei County drainage project specialized planning,

the service scope of Chengdong Sewage Treatment Plant includes: south region of eastern city, north

region of eastern city, north region of Fudu, and south region of Fudu; the total service area is about

32.08 km2. Moreover, according to the 2015 construction land scope recently delimited by the

comprehensive planning of Wuwei County, the greater part of south region of eastern city and the

southern part of north region of Fudu constitute the service scope of the first-stage project, and the area

is about 14.25 km2.

2. Laying of supporting pipe network of sewage

Arrange the main sewage pipes of the two water collecting subregions within this service scope

respectively along the Changjiang Road, Dongmenwai Street, Fubei Road and Tongjiang Road; after

being collected by branch pipes, the sewage of each subregion will finally enter into the sewage

treatment plant through two main pipes under Fubei Road and Tongjiang Road. The south region of

eastern city has flat terrain and needs to span over the Xihe River, so that a sewage midway lifting pump

station shall be set; and the station address is located 320m south to the intersection of Dongmenwai

Street and Changjiang Road (already built, not within the scope of this project). In the future, sewage of

the north region of Fudu and south region of Fudu will be respectively collected by two main sewage

pipes under Fubei Road and Tongjiang Road, and then enter into the sewage treatment plant for

centralized processing through Jingsi Road by means of gravitational flow.

3. Quantities of pipe network

The network layout of this project is arranged to the greatest extent along the already built Changjiang

Road, Dongmenwai Street, Fubei Road, Tianjingshan Road, Xingfu Road, Yangxiang Road, Jingsi Road,

and Tongjiang Road; the sewage pipe network quantities calculated for this project in recent period are

shown in Table 2-2:

2.4 Social and Economic Benefits of This Project At present, environmental protection has become a basic state policy; various kinds of problems caused

by water pollution have attracted the attentions of the whole society, which even make significant

influences on the social stability, and the continuous and stable development of the national economy.

10

Therefore, the implementation of this project has profound significance and influence on the urban

development strategy of Wuwei County.

The anticipated social benefits of sewage collection and treatment are to decrease the morbidity of local

population, reduce the adverse impacts on the atmospheric environment, and improve the surface water

quality of sewage treatment region.

In addition, the implementation of this project will make Wuwei County establish a better image, and

the improvement of urban environment conditions will also make people enjoy a better living and

working environments; these all play important roles in promoting the social stability and unity, and the

social and economic development and progress of Wuwei County.

2.5 Project Investment and Implementation Plan The preliminary estimate of this project is 122,597,800 yuan, of which, we plan to apply for USD 10

million loans from Asian Development Bank, and the loan period is 25 years (including 3 years of

construction period and 2 years of grace period); the rest will be own funds of the enterprises.

2.6 Measures to Reduce the Influences on Land Acquisition and Immigration Based on the site selection principles of engineering construction project and the policy requirements of

Asian Development Bank on involuntary resettlement, Wuwei County Urban Construction Investment

Co., Ltd. and the feasibility study organization unit carried out earnest site selection work, so as to

reduce the land acquisition quantity to the greatest extent, as well as enact various kinds of

compensation measures for the affected people who are inevitably affected by land acquisition, and

decrease the project’s negative influences to the lowest limit. The pipelines are all constructed along the

built roads, and reasonable construction schemes will be adopted during the construction process to

reduce the influence on citizens' activities. Reasonably arrange the construction period and construction

time, and reduce the influence on the surrounding people; the pipeline construction does not involve

land acquisition and demolition. Make the land occupied by this project reach a minimum level through

the above measures. See Table 2-4 for the measures to mitigate the influences, and the results. Optimize

and reduce 1.6 Mu of land acquisition; reduce 30.7 Mu of temporary land occupation.

2.7 Objectives of Migration Plan The compensation and resettlement policies on the affected people are formed on the basis of combining

Chinese laws and regulations and the policies and requirements of Asian Development Bank. The main

11

objectives of the resettlement plan are to recover the income and living standard of the affected people

after land acquisition, make the immigrants obtain reasonable compensation, and make their production

and living standards not lower than the standards before land acquisition. Pay special attention to the

needs of the resettled exceptionally poor population and vulnerable groups. The primary goal of the

settlement plan is to mitigate the adverse consequences caused by this project, and offer help to the

settlement, income and livelihood recovery of the affected people. Reasonably compensate the losses of

the affected people through compiling the resettlement plan, and the main modes are as follows: (1) in

order to realize the objectives of the migration plan, from June to July of 2013, Wuwei County Urban

Construction Investment Co., Ltd. organized a investigation for the influences on the collected lands,

and based on this investigation, it compiled the update version of the Resettlement plan. (3) On April 9,

2014, Wuwei County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. organized a public investigation meeting

on the resettlement of this project, and the participants were mainly the affected villagers; at this

meeting, the organizer issued public participation investigation form, the design organization introduced

the project contents, and the compiling unit of the update version of resettlement plan highlighted the

influences of this project and the control measures adopted; villagers who were not affected by this

project opposed to the project construction and resettlement.

For the affected households with an average cultivated land of 1.62 to 1.631Mu, totally 2 households in Yuanyou and Chenwan natural villages lose less than 10% of their lands, while the other 25 households’ proportions are between 10% to 30%; personally, the per capita cultivated land decreases from 1.624Mu (before land acquisition) to 1.152Mu. See details in Table 3-5. The per capita income affected by land acquisition is about 7,000-7,100 yuan; the field investigation shows that this project area is located in the suburb area of Wuwei County, with the acceleration of urbanization progress, the real estate enterprises continuously enter this region, lands of every village are continuously collected, so that the villagers have got used to the land acquisition; the villagers are mainly occupied in construction industry, transportation business and service industry, the agricultural income proportion is 20%, so that the income loss proportion is 5.42% to 5.95%, and the average income loss proportion is 5.76%, which shows that the agricultural income is not the main income of the affected people. See Table 3-6 for the impact analysis to land acquisition. From Table 3-6, it is observed that after the implementation of this project, the average income loss proportion of Yuanyou and Chenwan natural villages in Shibei administrative village is only 5.76% after land acquisition.

The per capita income is 7,050 yuan, and the agricultural income only occupies 20% of the total income. People who are eligible for the minimum living standard all enjoy such welfare, which is 270 yuan/person · month; in the households affected by this project, there are no households enjoying the minimum living guarantee, or any other vulnerable groups. The vast majority of the villagers support the project construction. For the other affected households, their contracted lands are continuously collected during the urbanization process, but they still have the large proportion of their lands, so that they can grow vegetables and grain for their own consumption. After the land acquisition, some affected people will make up their losses through other incomes, such as working in the neighboring construction market and other provinces, etc. The location of this project is only 2km apart from Wuwei County, during the urbanization progress, lands of the villagers are continuously collected, so that the affected people have got used to the land acquisition. On account of the collective ownership nature of the land, the compensation fees for the collected lands will be uniformly distributed by the villagers committee according to the previous land acquisition traditions, combining with the decisions of the villagers representatives conference’s discussion, which shall serve resident population as the criterion in principle. See Table 4-2 for the social-economic conditions of the affected natural villages in Shibei administrative village.

5.2 Summary of ADB Policies Two key basic elements of ADB involuntary resettlement policy: (i) Replacement of property loss, livelihood and income compensation; (ii) Assistance of recovery to the minimum living standards prior to the resettlement. Part or all the elements will be put forward in respect of involuntary resettlement. As for any project involving involuntary resettlement to be operated by the ADB, the resettlement plan will the main part of project design and should be dealt with at the early stage. Furthermore, the following principles should also be taken into account: (i) Start the arrangement of project influence as early as possible, and identify the history and status of involuntary resettlement and prospective influence and risk. Based on investigation and/or census of the affected population, the scope of the resettlement plan should be determined, including gender analysis, particularly the analysis related to resettlement influence and risk. (ii) Establish appeal system and be acquainted with problems drawing the attention of the affected people and research the solutions. (iii) Improve or restore the living standards of all the APs based on the following measures: (1)If the APs live on land, the land-based resettlement strategy should be adopted; if land loss doesn’t necessarily change the way in which living is made, cash or other means of compensation can be taken into consideration; (2) The unrecoverable assets should be compensated timely and adequately according to the replacement price; (3) If possible, extra income and services should be provided by means of gain sharing of the project. (iv) Provide necessary support for the affected population, and provide living facilities and community services as needed. (v) If land is obtained through negotiation, relevant procedures should be formulated according to transparency, consensus and fairness to make the negotiation participants maintain the original level in the case of income and life, or even higher. (vi) Formulate detailed resettlement plan, elaborate the corresponding rights, income recovery, life strategy, relevant system arrangement, monitoring and report arrangement, budget and explicit schedule. (vii) With the understandable language and method, the draft of resettlement plan (including the representation of negotiation process) should be announced to the affected households and other interest-related parties timely at the appropriate place prior to the approval of the project, and the final resettlement plan and the updated version should also be announced. (viii) Involuntary resettlement should be regarded as part of project development or planning. All the expenses of the resettlement plan should be included during the calculation of project cost and revenue. (ix) Monitor and evaluate resettlement results, inspect the influence to the living standards of the affected population, inspect whether the resettlement plan has achieved the expected results based on the base research and monitoring results, issue the monitoring report. 5.3 Chinese laws and regulations and relevant policies and articles In the project, the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China is the main legal basis. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Land and Resources of the People’s Republic of China and Anhui authorities have also issued some similar policies and regulations; see Table 5-1 for the main immigration clauses thereinto. The Decision of the State Council on Deeping the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (No.GF [2004]28) enacted in October 2004 defined the land acquisition compensation and resettlement compensation principle and compensation standards, land acquisition procedure and monitoring system. The similar document is Guidelines on Perfecting the Resettlement System of Land Acquisition Compensation (No.GTZF [2004]238). These documents become the legal bases of the Resettlement of this project. The above policies and main articles applied in this project are as follows:

5.3 Main Distinctions between Asian Development Bank Policy and Chinese Law 5.3.1 Land Resettlement Compensation 1. Distinction: the ADB policy requires that the compensation shall be enough to offset any loss of

income, and recover the long-term incoming-producing potential. China's standard is based on the

average annual output value, but may be unrelated to the costs of revenue recovery.

2. Solution: Early solution is generally providing replaced land, which has little possibility at present.

Cash compensation is the first choice for most affected people though they cannot guarantee a

reasonable use of the compensation. Therefore, the Asian Development Bank needs further technical

support, and monitors the income of the seriously affected family, especially the income of the

vulnerable groups; meanwhile, local government shall offer help to those in need.

5.3.2 Negotiation and Publication 1. Distinction: the ADB policy requires the affected people to have comprehensive knowledge of the

situation and negotiate with them as soon as possible. China’s provisions have improved the

transparency of notice and compensation. However, the affected people play a weak role in project

decision and the publication deadline is usually short.

2. Solution: negotiation has already started in early time (before the technical assistance and during the

technical assistance period). The project office agrees to publish the update version of resettlement plan

according to the requirements of Asian Development Bank.

5.3.3 Lack of Legal Rights 1. Distinction: the ADB policy requires that all appropriated land shall be compensated according to the

same standard whether they are legal or not. While according to Chinese law, the appropriated land of

illegal owner won’t be compensated.

2. Solution: for the loan project of Asian Development Bank, all legal or illegal affected people will be

protected whether they have the ownership or the right to use.

5.3.4 Monitoring, Evaluation and Report of Resettlement 1. Distinction: the Asian Development Bank requires the external and internal monitoring of

resettlement; while Chinese law has no such requirement but for the reservoir project.

2. Solution: all the loan projects of Asian Development Bank have been equipped with external and

internal resettlement monitoring system, which are recorded in the resettlement plan. The external and

internal report requires specific provisions in the resettlement plan.

5.4 Compensation Principles of This Project The compensation and rights and interests principles of this project are made according to the laws,

regulations and policies of the Chinese government and Asian Development Bank. The purpose is to

ensure the affected people have sufficient compensation and assistance measures and at least ensure that

the local production and living standard is recovered to the same as that before the project starts. For the

details of project resident resettlement, refer to Table 5-3

Project Resident Resettlement Principles

Table 5-3

Principles

1 Avoid or minimize resettlement, wherever feasible.

2 The compensation and titles gained by the affected people shall at least enable them to maintain the

same living standards as “without project” or even better.

3 All the affected people will get compensation and resettlement assistance whether they have

26

legitimate rights or not.

4

If the remainder land after land acquisition fails to safeguard the livelihood of the affected people,

compensation in forms of cash or land replacement, plus other necessary income-generating

activities shall be provided for the affected people.

5

The affected people shall have good understanding of the eligibility criteria, means and standards

of compensation, livelihood and restoration plan as well as project construction arrangement etc.,

and participate in the implementation of the resettlement plan.

6 Land acquisition shall not be carried out before the affected people are satisfied with the

compensation and resettlement (scheme).

7 The executive organization and the independent/the third party will supervise the operation of

compensation and land acquisition and relocation.

8 The resettlement plan is in accordance with the general plan of affected cities (districts, county)

villages and towns.

9 The resettlement budget shall be enough to cover all affected aspects.

5.5 Cut-off date of Compensation The cut-off date of compensation eligibility criteria is proposed to be December 30, 2013. Before this

date, Wuwei County Urban Construction and Investment Co., Ltd. had granted the land acquisition

compensation to Shibei village committee. All land acquisition compensation has been issued to farmers

by May 30, 2014.

5.6 Determination of Compensation Standard for Resettlement Impacts of the Project 5.6.1 Collective Land Acquisition According to the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Guidelines about

Improving Land Acquisition Relocation System and the policies and regulations relevant to the Land

Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China implemented in Anhui Province, the

compensation fee of the appropriated cultivated land include land compensation fees, resettlement fees

and green crops compensation fees. The collective land compensation in this project is implemented

according to the Comprehensive Land Price Standard of Anhui Province for Land Acquisition Area (No.

WZ [2012] 67). For the details of collective land acquisition compensation standards of this project,

refer to Table 5-4.

6.4 Endowment Insurance of the Land-Lost Farmers The provision for the aged shall be carried out according to Basic Old-Age Insurance Interim

Procedures for Land-losing Farmers in Wuwei County (No. WZ [2006] 137).

Land-losing farmers who are at the age of 16 and upwards when land acquisition is executed and that

are not covered by urban basic endowment insurance shall be brought into the endowment insurance

range of land-losing farmers. The endowment insurance fund for land-losing farmers is composed of

financial pooling and individual account capital. The financial pooling includes the government

contribution part and village (groups) collective investment. The government contribution part can be

drawn from land transfer income and other paid use income of state-owned land. And the charge

standard is: 10 yuan/m2 for the allotted land and 25 yuan/m2 for the transferred land.

Village (groups) collective investment can be drawn from land compensation fees, operating income of

collective economic organization and other village (groups) collective income.

Individual account is composed of the fund paid by the land-losing farmers voluntarily and its interests.

Individual payment standard is divided into two levels: one is 3600 yuan, the second is 6600 yuan. The

land-losing farmers can choose one of the two levels voluntarily and no change is allowed once

selected.

The endowment insurance for the land-losing farmers is composed of basic endowment insurance and

individual account capital. The basic endowment insurance is drawn from financial pooling, while the

individual account capital is paid by the individual account. After the payment of the individual account

capital, the insurance is paid by financial pooling. And the specific distribution standard is:

(I) If the individual payment is 3600 yuan, each person will be distributed 115 yuan per month, of

which 85 yuan is for the basic endowment insurance and 30 yuan is for the individual account capital.

(II) If the individual payment is 6600 yuan, each person will be distributed 150 yuan per month, of

which 95 yuan is for the basic endowment insurance and 55 yuan is for the individual account capital.

(III) After implementation of this method, the pension can be got from the next month from the 60th

birthday of the men and the 55th birthday of the women land-losing farmers.

6.5 Restoration Measure for the Permanent Land Acquisition of the Effected Village The impact of this project is mainly for the impact of permanent land acquisition. The permanent

acquisition of collective land in this project involves Yuanyou and Chenwan villages of Shibei

administrative village, Fudu Town, Wuwei County. And the total permanent acquisition of collective

land is 68.4Mu, of which 47.7Mu farmland, 10.09Mu unutilized land, 10.61 Mu desolated beach, and

there are 27 directly affected households with 102 persons.

According to the sampling survey of the resettlement intention from 9 households, all the affected

households require cash compensation for the land acquisition. The affected people will invest in the

third industry investment, transportation industry and breeding industry when they get the cash

compensation.

In field survey, all the affected farmers have a favourable attitude toward the project; the affected

farmers think the implementation of this project can improve the local water environment and

surrounding environmental sanitary condition and bring convenience to villagers’ production and life.

All the affected households require cash compensation for the land acquisition, which is simply and

easily to operate, and the affected households can make discretionary use of the compensation for

recovery of production and living.

The recovery plan for the project construction land acquisition is made according to influence degree,

34

availability of the remaining land resources and intentions of the affected people. Different economic

recovery plans are formed through negotiation with village committee and transmigrant families when

making socio-economic surveys. As previously mentioned, most affected people are less affected and

still possess a certain amount of arable land, so they demand the direct cash compensation.

In our field survey, almost all the affected farmers have a favourable attitude toward project; the

affected farmers think the implementation of this project can improve their living condition and bring

convenience to production and life. All the affected households require cash compensation for the land

acquisition, which is simply and easily to operate, and the affected households can make discretionary

use of the compensation for recovery of production and living.

This project mainly includes the following five livelihood recovery measures for the permanent land

acquisition:

1. Direct monetary compensation. Land acquisition compensation standard and the number of lost

cultivated land will be determined strictly according to relevant state and local policies and the

compensation shall be directly paid to the affected people in time. The affected people can use the

compensation to plant some economic crop, develop family breeding industry and other

non-agricultural activities.

2. Improving agricultural production conditions. Village collective will raise fund to improve

agricultural production conditions, increase the yield of crops, increase farmers' income indirectly and

improve farmers' living standards. Such as: improving the pumping well, pumping station and pipeline

and other irrigation facilities; reconstructing the drinking water facilities to solve the difficulties in

domestic water; building the roads of the village and subsidizing the elderly people living alone, etc.

3. Adjusting the structure of agricultural production. Each village shall take advantage of its geographic

position and market conditions, adjust the structure of planting and breeding and improve the

agricultural income. For example, provide training to improve the unit output of economic crops, such

as oilseed rape and cotton.

4. Labor force transfer. The government can adopt some matched measures to support the development

of some individual enterprises, such as agricultural machinery manufacturing industries, processing and

manufacturing industries and other labor intensive enterprises, and create more employment

opportunities.

5. Old-age security for the land-lost farmers. Land-losing farmers who meet the conditions of the

Interim Procedures on Basic Endowment Insurance for Land-losing Farmers in Wuwei County (No.WZ

[2006] 137) can join the endowment security for the land-losing farmers voluntarily.

By the end of September 2012, the land-losing farmers in Wuwei County basically achieved the

“covering insurance before the land acquisition, covering all the qualified persons”. The coverage of the

old-age insurance for the land-lost farmers is 98% and the delivering rate of the pension is 100%.

In the meantime, the resettlement implementing agency will take some measures to help and support the

affected people during the project construction process, including:

(a) During the project construction, the resettlement implementing agency shall give priority to

arranging the labor service, which will bring cash income to the affected people.

(b) Wherever there are labor export project within the affected county range, the resettlement

implementing agency shall give priority to arranging the affected people.

(c) In the whole process of the production recovery, the resettlement implementing agency can organize

technical training to the affected people, such as the training in economic crops planting and animal

35

breeding. Invite relevant technicians of agricultural sector and labor security department to the

resettlement area to offer related training in terms of agriculture and farming, and make sure that each

affected peasant household will take at least once training in agricultural production technique and

non-agricultural production technique. These measures can improve the quality and yield of crops,

increase the economic income of the affected people and recover their livelihood.

6.6 Restoration Measure for the Temporary Land Acquisition The temporary land acquisition in this project mainly refers to the construction layout area of sewage

pipe network and temporary soil piling area, of which partial region is lakeshore wasteland and the

other part is land reclaimed by the farmers. The implementation process of borrowing shall strictly

according to the scheme requirement for conservation of water and soil, strip topsoil and make land

rehabilitation in suitable place to increase plantable land for farmers.

6.7 Skills Training for the Affected People The project unit will combine with the agricultural sector and labor security department to provide

training to the affected villagers, especially to the directly affected workforce, so that to increase their

income-producing ability. Training allowance will be drawn from the training budget. It mainly includes:

employment pre-post training and vocational skill training, new variety skill in planting and the skills in

raising fish and pig, etc. Training aims: according to actual needs, different characteristics of the natural

environment and training influence degree, they will help the affected people with life recovery and

labor skills improvement. These kinds of training can relief the influence of land acquisition and

improve the living standards of the affected people to a certain level, or at least recover to its original

level. Training objective: these affected farmers who are in needs of recovering normal life. In possible

conditions, at least two members (a man and a woman) of each affected family can be arranged to attend

the training.

The training requirements are determined by the resettlement and recovery methods which the affected

people intend. This is to ensure the affected people change the traditional employment concept, establish

correct professional awareness and grasp necessary labor technology and skills.

In the project affected area, the agricultural production income only account for about 20% of the total

incomes, so the non-agricultural technology training for the land losing farmers to improve their

employment skills and employment abilities is also the important measure and method to improve the

employment rate. The labor security offices of the Fudu Town Wuwei County will undertake the

technical training and re-employment implementation of the land losing farmers, formulate the training

planning, and scientifically set up the training lessons. The training will conduct semi-annual reporting

system and adjust the training planning according to the labor demand timely. The main contents of the

training include agricultural technology training, employment pre-post training and vocational skill

training. The main contents of the agricultural technology training are the growing of the vegetables and

flowers and plants, the main contents of the employment pre-post training concern about the national

employment situation, employment policies, labor rights protection and professional ethics training;

vocational skill training will be held irregularly according to the position requirements, which mainly is

non-agricultural technology training, such as garment processing, etc. Refer to Table 6-2 and Table 6-3

for the training plan details.

6.8 Women Rights and Interests Protection In the stage of preparation of resettlement planning (updated version), the investigation team organizes

the women to actively take part in the investigation of the project influences and solicits their ideas of

37

income recovery planning. The women have a favourable attitude toward project construction and think

that the construction of the project is in favour of the usage of the water resource, avoids the pollution of

the water resource, reduces the diseases infection rate, protects the good health of the people, reduces

the payment of the hospitalization costs. After the women are liberated from the land by the land

acquisition, they can get the cash compensation and the opportunities of the project labour and training

of the cultivation of the crop and fruit growing, garment technology, and catering, etc.

Based on women’s willing, 30% of the women shall be ensured to get the opportunity of unskilled

labour in the process of project construction. In addition, if their works are same, the female and male

will get the same remuneration. But it forbids child labour. The technical training shall arrange the

influenced women labour in priority to ensure their economic status and economic income will not be

damaged. The people of the resettlement training are 800 persons (including agriculture and

non-agriculture technology training), in which, the women labour force shall not be less than 400

persons (50%). The women involved can gain the relevant information during the process of

resettlement, and take part in the impartial advice and the resettlement. The compensation agreement

shall be both signed by the husband and wife. In the implementation of resettlement, it will convene the

special women formal symposia to introduce the related resettlement policies and improve the

awareness of the women.

6.9 Assistance Measures for Vulnerable Groups According to the investigation, vulnerable groups are not involved in this project.

6.10 Restoration Plan for the Infrastructure The recovery and reconstruction of the influenced special facilities and ground fixtures will be carried

out by the property unit after the project unit pays the compensation.

The influenced municipal public facilities shall be removed according to the construction plan of the

project by the project construction unit on the principle that does not affect engineering construction and

try the best to reduce resettlement. The removing of the influenced pipeline conducts first reconstruction

(or resettlement) then removing on the premise that does not influence the normal lives of the residents

along the line.

In addition, the design unit had made a lot of investigations on the possible influence on the local

7. Information Disclosures, Consultation and Participation In order to put the ADB-financed Comprehensive Treatment Project of Wucheng Water Environment in

Wuwei County (Wuwei Section of Xihe River) on a practical and reliable basis, safeguard the legitimate

interests of the affected people, and reduce discontent and controversy, the project pays much attention

to the participation and consultation of the migrants, and the updated resettlement plan is prepared on

the basis of full consultation of the affected people and public information. Therefore, in the planning,

designing and implementation decision-making processes of this project, Wuwei County Urban

Construction Investment Co., Ltd., Project Resettlement Office (engineering construction leadership

group of Wuwei County Wucehng Chengdong Sewage Treatment Plant), Hohai University Consulting

Company and the preparation unit of the updated immigration report make use of socio-economic

surveys, social impact assessment survey and other opportunities to publicize basic information of the

project in various ways and seek for opinions of all kinds of affected people, and consult with each

consulting agency about questions of common interest. Public participation and consultation results

provide the basis for perfecting the resettlement plan.

7.1 Public Participation and Consultation Activities Launched till Now For the major issues involved in the resettlement planning stage, the project resettlement office will

organize the design unit, consulting agencies, environment assessment institution, local resettlement

department and the affected people to release information publicly in a variety of ways and make

consultation. See Table 7-1 for the main public and consultation activities developed till now.

After August of 2011, the delegation of Asian Development Bank identified the contents of this project.

The migrants report preparation unit and Wuwei County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd.

interviewed the affected people. The following conclusions are drawn from many interviews:

Firstly, the interviewees have positive evaluation on the project construction and also have higher

expectations for all kinds of positive influences brought by the project. For example, 95% of the

interviewees agree with the construction of the project. Most think that the project will create more

employment opportunities, improve the local environment quality, promote local economic

development, improve the local investment environment, benefit the local women and make their family

life better and better. In the meantime, they think the government shall promote the construction of the

project.

Secondly, as found in the interviews, the affected people are very concerned about compensation and

resettlement, especially about the compensation standard and resettlement policies.

According to these situations and during the project preparation and implementation process, Wuwei

County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. and other related organizations distribute resettlement

information handbook, post a notice to publish the land acquisition compensation policies and hold the

villagers representative conference, etc. to introduce the project conditions, publicize national land

expropriation policy and the concrete measures that Wuhu City and Wuwei County take to carry out the

national policies, disclosure the relevant information of the project, and put the policies of the updated

resettlement into practice.

8. Appealing Mechanism

Resettlement is a complex work. Since land acquisition and resettlement work involve many areas

and concern resettled people’s interests, it is inevitable that the affected people have some opinions on

the resettlement, compensation, etc. and generate dissatisfaction and complaints of one sort or another.

In order to ensure that the complaints issues of the affected people can be quickly and successfully

solved, Wuwei County Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd shall establish a set of highly

transparent and simple dissatisfaction and complaint collecting and processing procedure, so as to

handle people’s complaint issues with objectivity, fairness and high efficiency and ensure that the

resettlement work can proceed smoothly.

issues raised by the masses, fully ask for their suggestions, negotiate patiently and repeatedly, and put

In the event that the deciding institution of the former stage does not make reply to the appealing

issue within the stipulated time, the claimants have the right to lodge an appeal.

implementation mechanism, tracking and reflecting the progress of settlement implementation in

each region. Resettlement department based on bottom-up report on the implementation of

schedule, funding, results provided by information management system, process and analyze.

The project will adopt the following several ways to implement internal monitoring based on

the implementation of the project:

(1) Standardized statistical report system

The project owners should formulate a unified statement based on the need of resettlement

work. The report should reflect the progress of resettlement fund appropriation and the relocation

of physical quantity. Statement is reported every month, generally from bottom to top at the end of

the month to master work schedule according to appropriations table.

(2) Reflecting situation regularly or irregularly

Among all levels of placement agencies and external monitoring mechanism, to take a

variety of forms, exchange the resettlement problems in implementing and related information,

and put forward opinions.

(3) Regular meeting

At the beginning of every month, the leading group office of ADB Loan project will convene

resettlement coordination meeting and project resettlement office staff will attend the meeting.

inspection to the subordinate resettlement agencies with in-depth field investigation, dealing with

resettlement problems, to verify the implementation schedule and resettlement policy.

(5) To exchange information with external monitoring mechanism

66

The project owners, local implementation mechanism should maintain regular contact and

exchange of information with the external monitoring mechanism, considering the external

monitoring and assessment mechanism’s discovery and evaluation opinions as internal monitoring

reference.

(6) Research on resettlement information management system

11.2 External Monitoring

11.2.1 Purposes

External monitoring and evaluation (M & E) is the assessment conducted by agencies

independent of government organizations, personnel of which inspect the implementation of the

resettlement action plans from an extensive and enduring point of view, monitor and evaluate the

possibility of land acquisition and resettlement, take remedial measures and tracking actions, to

ensure the implementation of resettlement. External Monitoring Institutions will follow up land

acquisition and resettlement to monitor whether it:

(1)Follow the relevant national laws and regulations for resettlement;

(2) Follow the relevant policies of ADB concerning involuntary resettlement;

68

(3) Ensure that the living standards of affected population exceed or at least be restored to

the previous standards.

Office to ensure the smooth undergoing of resettlement and the fast resumption of affected

population’s production and living standards.

11.2.4 Methods and Procedures

External Monitoring Institutions will conduct resettlement monitoring in the following ways:

(1) On the basis of resettlement investigation, create a database of the affected population’s

situation and conduct home interviews frequently. Taking full advantage of social and economic

investigation materials and the resettlement information management system created by the

69

project office, External Monitoring Institutions will conduct dynamic management of affected

population of land acquisition and acquire the details of resettlement at any time. With the

information of the database, conduct face-to-face interviews with the affected households,

understanding the progress of the work, listening to their complaints and advice and publicizing

relevant national laws and relevant requirements and project construction information of ADB.

Household interviews are independently carried out by External Monitoring Institutions, who

get name lists and relevant information from basic organizations, after which accompany of local

resettlement agencies or local administrative management is not needed. When External

Monitoring Institutions carry out household interviews, the interviews are fixed, which means the

same interviews visit the same affected areas. In this case, it will be beneficial to create

inter-confidence between interviewers and affected population, and furthermore be beneficial for

the work.

(2) Organize discussions among the affected population irregularly in the areas where

affected population is relatively concentrated. External Monitoring Institutions will listen to the

views expressed by the affected population as for major issues affecting the project. The

discussions can be formal or informal, with local resettlement personnel invited or not invited,

depending on the specific circumstances.

(3) On-the-spot investigation. Personnel of External Monitoring Institutions will visit

resettlement sites irregularly or periodically and carry out on-the-spot investigation.

(4) Individual investigation. Focus on the analysis of individual cases that may occur during

the resettlement. Analyze the root cause, come up with a solution and propose reference views.

(5) Questionnaire. Carry out sample surveys for the production and living resumption

together with the suggestions concerning the resettlement and timely analyze the outcomes.

Resolve the existing issues to provide reference for the next resettlement.

11.2.5 Main Contents

(1) Monitor land acquisition

According to the features of this project’s land acquisition, the monitoring work of

resettlement resulted from the land acquisition of External Monitoring Institutions is mainly

focused on the following:

Whether the standards of the land acquisition compensation is in accordance with relevant

70

national laws and regulations;

Whether the sweeping procedures of the land compensation can assure that the affected

villages get the funds they deserve;

Whether the number of land acquisition, compensation standards and compensation amount

is public in the villages within the range and in what way;

Whether there are specific and workable plans for the concentrative use of the

compensation;

Whether the development of the compensation using plan has sought the views of

stakeholder villagers and how the plan is finally confirmed;

How to allocate the compensation and how to ensure the actual economic interest of affected

labor;

(2) Monitor the operation of resettlement agencies

A capable, professional and efficiently operational resettlement agency is a reliable

assurance for the smooth undergoing of the resettlement.

Monitoring the operation of the resettlement agencies is an important part of the work of

External Monitoring Institutions, which is carried out through on-the-spot visits of the agencies

and inspects of their working materials and records, mainly including:

Whether personnel of resettlement agencies at all levels can meet the needs of the

resettlement work;

Whether resettlement agencies at all levels possess necessary working conditions;

Whether the qualities of personnel of resettlement agencies at all levels can meet the needs

of the resettlement work;

The training of personnel of resettlement agencies;

The internal material management of resettlement agencies.

(3) Investigate the affected population’s living standards

Before the resettlement, External Monitoring Institutions will create resettlement standard data of

ADB loaning for water environment overall management project of Wuwei, Wuhu, Anhui by

sample survey, which will be carried out in a way of structural questionnaire. Take all the affected

households involved in the social and economic investigation during the project preparation. The

sample proportion of the living standard investigation is 10－20%. The investigation includes:

71

household population, production operation, floor space, annual income, employment structure,

annual spending, transportation condition, water supply, electricity supply, living environment and

evaluation of production and living condition etc.

(4) Monitor and evaluate the effect of resettlement

When the resettlement begins, External Monitoring Institutions will carry out incessant monitoring

of the implementation effects of the resettlement. As for the affected households, External

Monitoring Institutions will carry out tracking research in half a year after the resettlement, which

is similar with the standard investigation, carried out in the way of sample survey. Through

structural questionnaire, the influence of resettlement to the investigated objects’ living and

production will be reflected to assess the effects of the resettlement. The selection of tracking

objects is theoretically the same with that of living standards, and tries to track the objects of the

living standard investigation. After the living standard investigation, create a database of all the

objects as the sample reference for the tracking research. As for the objects that are unable to be

tracked out of various factors, take the materials of the previous social and economic research as

the clue, and replace them with the similarly affected households in the same neighborhood.

The contents of the tracking research should be contextual with the living standard investigation

so that the analysis of the affected population’s production and living before and after the

resettlement can be carried out. Meanwhile, seek evaluation from the affected population of the

resettlement as the reference for the evaluation of the effects of the resettlement.

11.2.6 Report Mechanism

External Monitoring Institutions develop monitoring reports on the basis of the materials of

the observation and research with two purposes: 1. To reflect the progress and existing issues of

the resettlement to ADB and owners; 2. Evaluate the social and economic effects of the

resettlement, propose constructive suggestions and improve the resettlement.

The cycle that External Monitoring Institutions should submit reports to ADB and owners

should be:

Carry out the living standard investigation at the beginning of the project and submit the

research reports. Submit external monitoring reports every half a year.

After the resettlement, submit an overall pro-resettlement evaluation report.

72

A regular monitoring report should at least includes: (1) the objects of the monitoring report;

(2) the progress of the resettlement; (3) the main findings of the monitoring institutions; (4) the

existing issues; (5) the basic evaluation and suggestions of the external monitoring.

The report of External Monitoring Institutions should be submitted to ADB resettlement

experts in both English and Chinese. Before the formal submission, notify the relevant personnel

of the Resettlement Office, seek their suggestions and communicate over the contents and the

forms of the reports.
