In addition, 1.54 million RMB counterpart funds are financed by the local government[1]. The State approved 22 subprojects in 3 groups in 2003 and 2004, including 6 for floodplain safety development, 9 for dike consolidation, and 7 for dangerous dike section habilitation, together with 3 project management and 1 non-structural flood control schemes, with a total cost estimate of 1.93032 billion RMB. Resettlement monitoring and evaluation is involved in the 22 subprojects, with a total amount of 1.82881 billion RMB provided by the State, including 359.21 million RMB for land acquisition. Refer to Table 1 for details. 1.2 Implementation of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Each subproject has its own Employer, Implementing Agency, Designer, and Engineer, which meets the requirements of project management and basically satisfies the demands of land acquisition and resettlement. Land acquisition and resettlement have been started for 11 subprojects, including 6 dike consolidation subprojects, i.e. Yuanyang (left-bank 100+800~124+700, 142+400~148+350, referred to as “Yuanyang (left-bank)” hereinafter), Lankao (right-bank 152+600~156+050, referred to as “Lankao (152)” hereinafter), Lankao (135+738~138+400, referred to as “Lankao (135)” hereinafter), Kaifeng, Dongming, and Dongpinghu, and 5 floodplain safety development ones, i.e. Miaozhai, Wuqiu, Fanxian, Dongming, and Pingyin. Preparatory work necessary for the commencement of construction is performed except for Lankao Floodplain Safety Development which is waived already. It is noted that these 10 subprojects not started at the time of our field work were already commenced by the time of this report, so this report is prepared to reflect the progress achieved as of the time of field work. As planned, the said 6 dike consolidation subprojects involve a total number of 120 villages in 26 townships of 10 counties, requiring 11,080.74 mu for permanent use and 32,497.42 mu for temporary use and necessitating the resettlement of 312 households. The approved cost estimate is 1.2459 billion RMB, including 242.2 million RMB for land acquisition relating to resettlement. Work quantities completed by the time of this report include 9,072.34 mu for permanent use, 7,643.71 mu for temporary use, and 357 households from 119 villages in 24 townships of 8 counties, accounting for 81.87%, 23.52%, and 114.42% of the planned figures. Refer to Table 2 for detailed information. It was planned to have 15 shelters under the abovementioned 5 floodplain safety development subprojects, to receive 37,065 people of 9,028 households, but the number was adjusted to 13 [1] Source: Appraisal of the Feasibility Report of ADB-financed Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project, China International Engineering Company, November 7, 2001 ¢ ADB-financed Yellow River Flood Management Sector Project Resettlement Monitoring and Evaluation (Report No. 3) in the course of implementation.
