Executive Summary

1. Overview of Project

Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project (Project) consists of six outputs: (i) On-site closures of existing solid waste landfills in nine counties (or districts/county-level cities); (ii) Mining of two existing municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills in two counties; (iii) Urban-rural integrated MSW management systems established in eight counties; (iv) Existing sanitary landfills upgrading in four counties; (v) Kitchen waste treatment in 2 districts; and (vi) Capacity development and institutional strengthening of all 11 project counties 1. The project outputs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) will involve land acquisition or occupation, but no residential house demolition, while Output (vi) will not involve any land acquisition and resettlement. Leiyang City Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project (Leiyang Subproject) is one of 10 subprojects of the Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project. Leiyang Subproject involved three outputs: Outputs (iii), (iv) and (vi) in the Project, in which Output (iii) Urban-rural integrated MSW management systems established and Output (iv) Existing sanitary landfills upgrading will involve land acquisition or occupation, but no residential house demolition. Output (iii) of Leiyang Subproject will construct a total of 51 garbage collection and transfer stations in a total of 31 towns/sub-districts (street administration offices) and purchase 62 trucks for garbage management. It will involve new land acquisition (LA) so this resettlement plan (RP) was prepared. Output (iv) of the Subproject will upgrade a leachate treatment system and a gas collection and discharge system, and construct storm water separate system of an existing landfill, and purchase 4 trucks. It involves the land that was acquired before so a due diligence report (DDR) was prepared as one of Appendixes of the RP. In addition, the DDR included the land used for construction of 11 out of 51 garbage collection and transfer stations in urban areas of Leiyang City. The land has been acquired. The Subproject will be implemented in Leiyang City of Hunan Province from 2018 to 2023. The LA will be implemented from June 2018 to December 2019.

2. Impact Scope

According to the feasibility study report (FSR, version of 5 February 2018) of the Subproject, the Subproject needs to acquire and occupy a total of 239.93 mu land: (i) 10.39 mu land for construction of 11 garbage collection and transfer stations in the urban area of Leiyang City, (ii) 40.7 mu land for construction of 40 garbage collection and transfer stations in the rural area of the city, and (iii) 188.84 mu land related to upgrading the existing sanitary landfill. The land in items (i) and (iii) was acquired before and confirmed in the DDR, while the land for item (ii) will be acquired during the project implementation as identified in the RP. The construction of 40 garbage transfer stations in the rural area of the city needs to acquire collective land of a total of 40.7 mu permanently. All the land is collective land owned by village groups but were not allocated to any individuals or households. Therefore, no person will be affected by the land acquisition directly. In terms of structures, the construction needs to demolish one abandoned village office building. The office building has not been used for more than 5 years. No people will be affected by the demolition directly.

1 The 11 project counties include five counties of Hengyang, Hengshan, Lanshan, Dong’an and Guiyang, two urban districts of Lengshuitan and Lingling, and four county-level cities of Changning, Lengshuijiang, Zixing and Leiyang in Hunan Province of the PRC.

Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project Leiyang RP

The land acquisition will involve 40 village groups of 26 villages in 24 towns of Leiyang City. The Subproject will not involve any residential house demolition, temporary land occupation and enterprises or small businesses.

3. Policy Framework

The RP was prepared in accordance with laws, regulations and policies related to land acquisition of the PRC, Hunan Province and Leiyang City as well as the Involuntary Resettlement of Safeguard Policy Statement of ADB (SPS 2009). The land to be acquired and the building to be demolished will be compensated to the affected village groups.

4. Compensation Standards

The compensation standards for permanent land acquisition are calculated according to location and type of land to be acquired. According to the Notice of Hunan Provincial People’s Government on Adjustment of Compensation Standards for Land Acquisition in Hunan Province (XZF [2012] No. 46), the compensation standards for the land involved in the project are (i) CNY 20,000 – 40,000/mu for different land types in the project towns in Region II 2, and (ii) CNY 17,500 – 35,000/mu for different land types in the project towns in Region III. The compensation standard for demolition of the village office building is in line with the Notice of Leiyang People’s Government Office on Methods for Collective Land Acquisition and House Demolition Compensation and Resettlement in Leiyang City (LZBF [2016] No. 34). It depends on structure and use purpose of buildings. For the affected office building, the compensation standard is CNY975/m 2 (increase 50% based on CNY650/m2 for brick- concrete structure of office buildings). 5. Public Consultation and Grievance Redress Mechanism During the RP preparation, public consultation on land acquisition and compensation policies as well as the project design was conducted in the affected villages. Representatives of affected village groups understand and will support the Subproject. A grievance redress mechanism was established to resolve complaints on the land acquisition. Affected village groups can express their complain on the land acquisition and building demolition to (i) the project town governments; and then (ii) Leiyang Project Management Office (PMO)/Leiyang Land and Recourses Bureau (LRB) if they are not satisfactory with the town governments’ solution. They can directly appeal to the People's Court for any aspect of the resettlement at any time (not limited by the above-mentioned two stages). All the complaints and solutions to them are kept by the Leiyang PMO.

6. Implementation

The RP was prepared based on the FSR, and will be updated according to detailed measurement survey (DMS) conducted after detailed construction drawings of the Subproject is completed. The RP implementation will start from July 2018 and end by December 2020. The Leiyang PMO is responsible for the RP implementation incorporating with Leiyang LRB and project town governments. 7. Resettlement Budget It is estimated that the land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) compensation fees for the Subproject is a total of CNY4.1767 million. It includes CNY0.7634 million for permanent

1.1. Project Background

1.Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project (Project) is to improve environment of the Hunan Xiangjiang river watershed by closing existing municipal solid waste landfills (MSW), upgrading existing sanitary landfills, establishing urban-rural integrated MSW management systems, and strengthening MSW management capacity of the project counties. 2.The Project consists of six outputs: (i) On-site closures of existing solid waste landfills in nine counties (or districts/county-level cities); (ii) Mining of two existing municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills in two counties; (iii) Urban-rural integrated MSW management systems established in eight counties; (iv) Existing sanitary landfills upgrading in four counties; (v) Kitchen waste treatment in 2 districts; and (vi) Capacity development and institutional strengthening of all 11 project counties 3. The project outputs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) will involve land acquisition or occupation, but no residential house demolition, while Output (vi) will not involve any land acquisition and resettlement. 3.Leiyang City Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project (Leiyang Subproject) is one of 10 subprojects of the Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project. Leiyang Subproject involved three outputs: Outputs (iii), (iv) and (vi), in which Output (iii) Urban-rural integrated MSW management systems established and Output (iv) Existing sanitary landfills upgrading will involve land acquisition or occupation, but no house demolition. 4.Output (iii) of Leiyang Subproject will construct a total of 51 garbage collection and transfer stations in a total of 31 towns/sub-districts (street administration offices) and purchase 62 trucks for garbage management. It will involve new land acquisition so this resettlement plan (RP) was prepared. Output (iv) of the Subproject will upgrade a leachate treatment system and a gas collection and discharge system, and construct storm water separate system of an existing landfill, and purchase 4 trucks. It involves the land that was acquired before so a due diligence report (DDR) was prepared as one of Appendices of the RP. In addition, the DDR included the land used for construction of 11 out of 51 garbage collection and transfer stations in urban areas of Leiyang City. The land has been acquired. 5.The Subproject is located in Leiyang City, Hunan Province. The construction of upgrading the existing sanitary landfill will be conducted in Nanjing Town of Leiyang City. The contraction of the 51 garbage collection and trasnfer stations will be conducted in Leiyang Economic Development Zone and 5 sub-district offices of Caizichi Office, Zaoshi Office, Wulipai Office, Shuidongjiang Office, Yuqing Office in urban areas of Leiyang City, and 24 towns in rural areas, including Huangshi Town, Xiaoshui Town, Gongpingxu Town, Sandu Town, Nanyang Town, Xiatang Town, Longtang Town, Zheqiao Town, Yongji Town, Yaotian Town, Xinshi Town, Dashi Town, Mashui Town, Liangyuan Township, Taipingxu Township, Daozi Town, Donghuxu Town, Dayi Town, Nanjing Town, Renyi Town, Changping Township, Dahexu Township, Tanxia Township and Feitian Town

1.3 Measures to Avoid or Minimize Impact Scope Figure1-1: Leiyang City Map and Location of 8.In order to avoid or minimize impacts of 24 Subproject Towns the LAR, selection of location and land for construction of the garbage transfer stations adopted the following principles: (i) Keep garbage transfer stations over 200 m away from farmers’ houses; (ii) Avoid or minimize acquisition of existing cultivated land, or land with production and residential house demolition; and (iii) Try to use wasteland (non-productive land) as much as possible. 9.After comprehensive consideration of different design schemes, one mu of contracted cultivated land and one farmer hosuehold was avoided by using a piece of collective housing plot. So all lands to be acquired for the garbage collection and transfer stations are non- productive collective land owned by village groups.

2. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts

2.1 Investigation Method and Procedures

10. At present, the impact scope of the LA of the Subproject is determined according to the project design scope of the feasibility study and the preliminary survey in the project field. The RP preparation team has confirmed the impact scope through interview with affected village groups and field surveys. 11. When the implementing agency (IA) organized the feasibility study of the Subproject, the design institute (DI) have preliminarily investigated the social and economic profile and the impact scope of the affected area and asked for the opinions of local governments and villagers in affected villages. 12. In December 2017, on the basis of the feasibility study on village groups, land and physical quantity affected by the LA of the Subproject, the RP preparation team interviewed with village committees and group leaders on social and economic development levels of the affected area.

2.2 Project Impact Scopes

13. The LA of the Subproject will impact on 40 village groups in 14 neighborhood committees, 26 administrative villages of 24 towns of Leiyang City, as shown in Table 2-1. A total area of 40.7 mu of various types of land needs to be acquired permanently for the Subproject, including 1.8 mu of garden land, 5 mu of forest land, 32.9 mu of collective non-productive land and 1 mu of village office land. Some fruit trees grow on the garden, while some shrub forest grow on the forest land, since the land were not allocated to farmers, no farmers are looking after them. All the land is owned by affected village groups as collective public land. 14. A building with two floors of brick-concrete structure in a total of 180m 2 will be demolished. The building is owned by Shizhun village collective. It was owned by Yuangantian village committee originally and abandoned in 2013 due to established new Shizhun village committee after combining Yuangantian village and Shizhun village. 15. Most of land to be acquired are wasteland (or unused land or non-productive land), small sparse forest land, and only 1.8 mu garden land owned by the collected and not allocated to any household. No other ground attachments are involved. The LA and building demolition will not involve any villagers, and any enterprises. No temporary land occupation is involved either.

Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project Leiyang RP 4. Legal and Policy Frameworks

4.1 Laws & Regulations and Policies for the Resettlement

22.The resettlement policy of the Subproject is mainly based on the PRC's relevant laws, regulations and policies. Meanwhile, it is also based on relevant policy requirements of the ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009) - Requirement 2: Involuntary Resettlement. 23.The compensations for the LA and structure demolition in the Subproject will be implemented in strict accordance with the compensation standards and related regulations and policies as determined in this RP. If there are any changes in the laws and regulations on the compensations of the PRC and Hunan Province during the implementation of resettlement, the updated laws and regulations and policies will be implemented, and the IA shall promptly update and report the RP to ADB. After approval by ADB, the plan can be implemented formally. Legal and policy frameworks of the project are shown in Table 4-1.

4.2. Involuntary Resettlement Policy of ADB

24.The objectives of the involuntary resettlement safeguards of ADB are (i) to avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; (ii) to minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; (iii) to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced

8

Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project Leiyang RP persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and (iv) to improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

4.3. Differences between ADB and Domestic Policies

25.The main aspects of the legal system include the collective land acquisition, the procedures for transferring collective land to the state, house demolition on collective land in rural areas, and house demolition on state-owned land in urban areas triggering the need for compensating and relocating persons, households, and communities. Key gaps between SPS and the PRC’s system and how to the bridge the gaps are as follows: (i) Lack of identification of the poor and vulnerable groups during the screening process . 26.Specific to vulnerable households (men, women, ethnic groups), they are identified by the Government as those who belong to the (i) Five-Guarantee program (the elderly, weak, widowed and disabled members who are unable to work and have no means of living, or whose households lack labor) who are being provided with production and living assistance (e.g. food, clothing, fuel, education and burial expenses) and (i) those eligible for the Minimum Living Guarantee System and are provided with living subsidy each month. Furthermore, identification of the poor and vulnerable households is only done during implementation. 27.Those who are not considered as vulnerable groups as per Government definition but may become at risk of being vulnerable or experience hardship due to impacts of LA/HD; i.e., may need special support during the transition period (e.g. during relocation such as provision of labor, transport) will also be identified and will be provided with necessary assistance. 28.In this RP, the poor and vulnerable households have been defined, and during assessment, no poor and vulnerable households were identified. (ii) Lack of documentation on the consultation and information disclosure activities, and grievances received. 29.Meetings held at the local levels are often maintained at the local level. Given the roles and responsibilities of the PMO, meetings and interviews held with the affected households are reflected in the RP and will continue to be documented during RP updating and implementation. The grievance redress will also be documented as part of the monitoring reports. Disclosure of the key information in the RP will be carried out through the distribution of resettlement information booklets in local language. (iii) Inadequate social and risk analysis as resettlement planning is focused on loss of land and impacts on houses. 30.Government-funded projects carry out impact assessment but focused mostly on land acquisition and relocation impacts in general and no impact assessment on the socio- economic conditions of households. 31.For this project, impact assessment was carried out during RP planning. However, there are no specific households who are directly affected and the impacts are collective. (iv) Assistance to households who are not eligible for compensation of houses at replacement cost. 32.Based on the Regulations on the Demolition and Compensation of Houses on State-owned Land (2011), the illegal houses and temporary structures which were constructed after the approval period will not be compensated. However, if the APs belong to the vulnerable groups and in need of housing, they will be assisted in securing affordable housing or low-rent

9

Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project Leiyang RP housing which is according to the Regulations to Solve the Housing Difficulties for the Low Income HHs issued by State Council [GF 2007, No 24], affordable housing and low-rent housing should be provided to the households who have housing difficulties. The demolished HHs can apply the affordable housing and low-rent housing. 33.Compensation for non-land assets will be at replacement cost and provision of resettlement assistance similar to those who have licensed houses provided that the affected households meet the Project’s cut-off date. If an earlier cut-off date has been established by the Government, the Government’s cut-off date will be followed provided that the following conditions are met: (i) copy of Halt Notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition/ pre- notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition published, (ii) documents confirming dissemination of information (billboards, minutes of public meetings, letters to households, newspapers, websites, broadcast, etc), and (iii) confirmation from households that they were informed about the cut-off-date verbally and in writing. For households who are not eligible for compensation for houses at replacement cost, the history or reason why the structure has no certification/license; and their socio-economic conditions and vulnerability will be assessed by the Project (through its local government and concerned bureaus) to determine the necessary assistance that can be provided to them to ensure that they will be able to restore or will not be worse-off. 34.In this subproject, there are no households affected by house demolition (v) Inadequate monitoring and reporting arrangements 35.Audit monitoring (focused on resettlement funds) are done but not on a regular basis. For this project, regular monitoring and semi-annual monitoring reports will be submitted by the implementing agencies to the PMO while the PMO will submit the reports to ADB. Monitoring indicators have been developed.

Hunan Xiangjiang River Watershed Existing Solid Waste Comprehensive Treatment Project Leiyang RP 5. Resettlement Principle and Compensation Standards

36.The cut-off date for compensation is the date of LAR announcement. After the cut-off date, resettlement, newly cultivated land, newly built houses and any other trees newly planted and facilities newly set up just for extra compensation on the affected areas shall not be counted in the scope of compensation or subsidy for the Project.

5.1. Compensation Standards

37.Compensation standards for various impacts are hereby made in accordance with related laws, regulations and policies, by considering actual social & economic status of Leiyang City. During the land acquisition of the Project, the compensation standard may be adjusted according to the actual implementation situation, but the adjusted standards will not be lower than the compensation standard specified in this Resettlement Plan.

5.1.1 Compensation Standard for Permanent Land Acquisition 38.The compensation standard for land acquisition and resettlement is made in accordance with provisions and requirements of Decisions of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Stringent Regulation of Land (GF [2004] No. 28), Notice on Issuance of “Comments on Improvements of Compensation and Resettlement Rules for Land Acquisition” (GTZF [2004] No. 238) issued by Ministry of Land and Resources, Notice of Hunan Provincial People’s Government on Adjustment of Compensation Standards for Land Acquisition in Hunan Province (XZF [2012] No. 46). Meanwhile, the compensation policy and resettlement plan for the Project are determined accordingly by combining economic and social development levels in the Project area, and Measures for Collective Land Acquisition and House Demolition Compensation and Resettlement in Leiyang City (LZBF [2016] No. 34) and other related policies. 39.In terms of Notice of Hunan Provincial People’s Government on Adjustment of Compensation Standards for Land Acquisition in Hunan Province (XZF [2012] No. 46), the unified compensation standard (including compensation fees for land acquisition and resettlement) for land acquisition of Leiyang City is: RMB40,000/mu in Region II, RMB35,000/mu in Region III; coefficient factor for land types: garden land of 0.8, while forest land/wasteland (non- productive land) of 0.5. 40.The compensation standards according to Measures for Collective Land Acquisition and House Demolition Compensation and Resettlement in Leiyang City (LZBF [2016] No. 34) are specified in Table 5-1. According to the land acquisition types, this plan is mainly concerning the compensation to dry land, garden plot, forestland and wasteland.

The compensation standard is RMB4,000/mu for forestland, RMB6,000/mu for garden land and RMB1,000/mu for wasteland.

5.1.3 Compensation Standard for Building Demolition 42.According to Item 22 of Measures for Collective Land Acquisition and House Demolition Compensation and Resettlement in Leiyang City (LZBF [2016] No. 34), house compensation standards are based of structures of houses. It is 650 Yuan/m2 for brick-concrete structure, including cost for house foundation leveling and foundation. According to Item 24 of the document, for office building, 50% of the compensation for houses is increased. Therefore, the building affected by the Project is compensated in 9750 Yuan/m2 for brick-concrete structure.

5.1.4 Other Support

43. In addition to the above, the following will also be provided

a) Social Security Fee : This fee is provided if there is collective village land affected. The fee will be used for endowment insurance. Since there are no farmers who are directly affected, the fee will be paid to the affected rural collective economic organizations. If in the future their land will be affected by other projects, and the affected households’ per capita cultivated land is reduced to less than 0.2 mu, the funds will be used to subsidize the affected household’s endowment system. The social security fee is RMB 40,000 per mu. b) Vegetation Fee: The fee is required by forest department for restoring vegetation on other area than the land acquired by the project. Due to the land acquisition, forest (and garden land) land or land with any vegetation will be converted to construction land; the vegetation coverage will be reduced.

However, to ensure that affected village groups have a channel to file their complaints on any issues related with the land acquisition and resettlement, a two-stage grievance mechanism has been established in the RP. Relevant organizations will accept the project village groups' grievance and complaints without any charges. During the project construction, the grievance and complaint channel will be effective to timely handle relevant issues. The basic grievance and complaint channels are as follows: Stage 1: If the affected village groups are unsatisfied with the resettlement, they can file an oral or written complaint to the towns, which shall be processed and provided with feedback within two weeks. Stage 2: If the affected village groups are still unsatisfied with the resolution of Stage 1, they may file their complaints to Leiyang Project Management Office or the Land Acquisition Center of Leiyang Land and Resource Administration Bureau for administrative arbitration. The final result shall be made within 4 weeks. 62.At any stage, affected village groups may bring a suit in a law court directly in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the PRC. 63.Affected village groups can also submit complaints to ADB which will first be handled by the project team. If an affected village groups are still not satisfied and believes they have been harmed due to non-compliance with ADB policy, they may submit a complaint to ADB’s Accountability Mechanism. 5 However, the first step requires good faith efforts to resolve the problem with the relevant organizations and ADB Project Team.
