Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

Foreword

I. Purpose of preparing this resettlement action plan

1 The resettlement action plan (RAP) is prepared in accordance with the applicable laws of the People’s Republic of China and local regulations and a series of provisions in the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 Involuntary Resettlement for the purpose of “developing an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project”. II. Definitions of terms Displaced persons

2 Based on the criteria for eligibility for compensation, “Displaced Persons” may be classified in one of the following three groups: a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets—provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the Resettlement Plan; and c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 3 Persons covered under paragraphs 2(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance. Persons covered under paragraph 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objective set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date established by the borrower and acceptable to the World Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in paragraph 2(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land. Compensation and resettlement measures

4 To address the following impacts of the involuntary taking of land: (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, a Resettlement Plan or a resettlement policy framework shall be prepared to cover the following: (a) The Resettlement Plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: (i) informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (ii) consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and (iii) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost1, for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.

1 "Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account. 1 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

(b) If the impacts include physical relocation, the Resettlement Plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: (i) provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and (ii) provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. (c) Where necessary to achieve the objective of the policy, the Resettlement Plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that displaced persons are: (i) offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; (ii) provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in paragraph 4(a)(iii), such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. 5 Cut-off date: means the date of publication of the bulletin of land acquisition and relocation in this project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their houses; shall not change the uses of their houses and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their houses; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person.

Overview of the Project

Brief introduction The Shaying River, located on the left side of the Huai River, is the largest branch of the Huai River. It is originated in the Funiu Mountain Range in Henan Province, formed by the convergence of the Sha and Ying Rivers in Zhoukou City, running through central Henan from northwest to southeast, entering Anhui Province at the Changsheng Stream in Jieshou City, and running from Jieshou City, Taihe County, Fuyang Municipality into the Huai River at Mohekou in Yingshang County, with a full length of 620km and a watershed area of 36,651 km2, in which its length is 206km and its watershed area 4,112 km2 in Anhui Province. According to the Layout Plan of Inland Navigation Channels and Ports (2005—2020), the Shaying River channel runs from Luohe, Henan to Mohekou, Anhui, with a full length of 378km, planned as a Class IV channel. The Yingshang ship lock and the Taihe Genglou hydraulic complex in Anhui have been completed, and the Fuyang ship lock is under construction. By now, the problem of navigation obstruction from lock and dam on the Shaying River channel has been largely solved. If the channel is further dredged, the stretch below Zhoukou, Henan will be open for navigation. The purpose of the Project is to restore the navigation of the Shaying River fully through channel dredging, obstructive bridge reconstruction, bank seepage control, the setup of revetments and anchorage service zones, and the deployment of navigation aids and signs. See Appendix 1 for the schematic map of the Project. The scope of the Project is as follows: A. Channel and dredging works The Anhui Shaying River channel from Changshenggou to Mohekou (Huai River inlet) has a full length of about 206km, and the mileage of the regulated channel will be about 205.6km. The Genglou, Fuyang (under construction) and Yingshang ship locks on this channel divides the regulated channel into four segments. According to the project design, the center of channel will be the thalweg of the existing channel where possible to maintain the existing plane form of the channel; where the width or bending radius of the channel is insufficient, engineering measures such as avulsion, dredging and regulation shall be taken, and highly bent river segments will be cut off locally to the standard for Class IV channels. The layout of course lines and the engineering measures are shown in Table 0-1. Table 0-1 Summary of course lines and engineering measures Key Channel segment and Direction of course line and engineering measures resettlement pile No. impact 1) The Changshenggou-Xiaogang segment is relatively 682.8 mu of straight; the center of channel is arranged along the thalweg, land will be with 7 intersection points, a minimum bending radius of 330m acquired, Jieshou-upper and a maximum bending radius of 1,000m; the channel affecting 192 Genglou lock mileage after setting-out is 7km; 2) the Xiaowan-Genglou ship households (K0+000-K26+000) lock segment is bent, narrow and varying, with flood land with 714 developed; this segment has 23 intersection points, with a people. minimum bending radius of 330m and a maximum bending Houses of radius of 1,300m; local avulsion is required at one location. 1,156.5 m2 In the Xuzhuang, Wangyao, Tianzhai, Lianghekou, will be Xiazhangwan, Chendian and Donggou segments, the channel demolished, is visibly bent, with a small bending radius, where convex affecting 12 Lower Genglou lock- bank avulsion and mouth cutting measures will be taken to households upper Fuyang lock regulate the channel; the center of channel of this segment has with 56 (K28+000-K80+000) 47 intersection points, with a minimum bending radius of people. 330m and a maximum bending radius of 1,500m; local avulsion is required at Xuzhuang, Xiazhangwan, Chendian and the Ciweixin River mouth, etc.

Key Channel segment and Direction of course line and engineering measures resettlement pile No. impact 1) The Fuyang ship lock-Zhangdianweizi segment is slightly bent; the center of channel is largely arranged along the thalweg; this segment has 26 intersection points, with a Lower Fuyang lock- minimum bending radius of 330m and a maximum bending upper Yingshang radius of 2,500m; there are two cut-offs in this segment; 2) lock (K83+000- The Zhangdianweizi-Yingshang ship lock segment is bent, K159+000) with large bends at Kouzi, Xinji, Jiangkou and Xinmiao, etc.; this segment has 47 intersection points, with a minimum bending radius of 330m and a maximum bending radius of 3000m; there are two cut-offs in this segment. LowerYingshang This segment is bent, has many consecutive bends and 32 lock -Mohekou intersection points, with a minimum bending radius of 330m (K162+000- and a maximum bending radius of 1,200m; there are two cut- K205+600) offs in this segment. B. Bridge reconstruction The Anhui Shaying River channel is constructed up to the Class IV standard, and its navigation clearance shall be as follows for straight segments: 90×7.0m for single-opening navigation (clear width × clear height) and 45×7.0m (clear width × clear height) for double- opening navigation. There are 13 bridges along the Anhui Shaying River channel. In particular, the Liuzhuang Express Passage Bridge in Yingshang County, Hefei-Huainan-Fuyang Expressway Bridge and S102 Yingshang Ship Lock Highway Bridge already meet the standard for Class IV channels, and the remaining 10 bridges are obstructive to varying degrees and are to be rebuilt. Among the 10 bridges to be rebuilt, the Fuyang Ship Lock Highway Bridge will be rebuilt together with the Fuyang ship lock and not included in the Project. In addition, in order to utilize channel construction funds rationally, since it will take time for the number of vessels to grow and vessels to become larger based on freight volume forecast, the obstructive bridges will rebuilt in stages. According to the survey, the Linjiedan Highway Bridge in Jieshou, Ying River North Bridge in Fuyang, Ying River South Bridge in Fuyang and Beijing-Kowloon Railway Ying River Bridge and Fuyang-Zhoukou Expressway Bridge meet the standard for Class V channels, and will be rebuilt in the future. Therefore, 4 cross-river bridges will be rebuilt under the Project, which are the Jieshou Yumin Bridge, Jieshou (old S204) Shaying River Bridge, Taihe County Ying River 2nd Bridge and Taihe County Ying River 4th Bridge. See Table 0-2 for the bridge reconstruction works.

Supporting works To meet the service requirements in navigational safety, harboring, lock delay and environmental protection for cargo vessels, it is necessary to arrange anchorages and service zones during channel improvement, including 2 anchorage service zones and 6 anchorages. The anchorage and service zone works of the Project are shown in Table 0-3. In addition, channel communication and video monitoring systems will be built around Fuyang Municipality in the Project, and navigation aids and signs will be arranged along the channel. All navigational marks will be illuminated at night.

Project benefit estimates The Project will generate significant economic benefits after completion, with an economic internal rate of return of 11.7%; in addition, the Project is a not-for-profit traffic infrastructure project with excellent social benefits. It will improve the navigational capacity of the Shaying River, promote rapid economic growth, remove most of internal pollution sources of the Shaying River and improve water quality. In addition, the Project will reduce the permanent occupation of land resources arising from highway construction and the consumption of energy for highway construction, thereby facilitating environmental improvement and promoting sustainable growth.

Project preparation and progress To promote the construction of the Project and demonstrate the necessity and feasibility of its implementation, Anhui Provincial Port & Shipping Construction Investment Group (APSCIG) entrusted the Anhui Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute to prepare the Preliminary Feasibility Study Report of the Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project in February 2007, which was completed in October 2008. In November 2009, APSCIG entrusted the Anhui Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute to prepare the Preliminary Design Report of the Anhui Shaying

Measures to reduce resettlement The design agency and the Employer of the Project attach great importance to measures to reduce resettlement impacts. At the planning and design stages, in order to reduce the Project’s impact on the local society and economy, the design agency and the Employer took some effective measures to optimize the design and avoid land acquisition and house demolition. ¾ Channel works 1) Arrange the channel line by fully utilizing the existing watercourse, and connect it organically with other watercourses to form a smooth channel network, shorten transport mileage and ensure safe and comfortable shipping. 2) Select technical indicators rationally for the channel, and ensure that bend elements meet the design ship form; improve shipping conditions to ensure safe shipping; strengthen the channel design for special segments with poor geologic conditions, local difficulties and bridges. 3) Improve the project design through option comparison and optimization to reduce land acquisition, house demolition and other resettlement impacts. The measures to reduce resettlement of the Project are shown in Table 0-5. ¾ Spoil grounds The channel improvement and dredging works involve a large amount of earthwork; to reduce the adverse impact from earth piling, the Employer and the design agency have taken the following measures: 1) The Shaying River dyke was reinforced recently, and there are a number of borrow pits beside the dyke. Earth arising from channel dredging consists mainly of sandy silt, silty clay and silty sand, and may be used as backfill for borrow pits or disposed of nearby. After disposal, land will be reclaimed for farming or improved for higher yield where possible to increase local farmers’ income. 2) Select lowland, flood land and borrow pits nearby to reduce farmland occupation. 3) Fill ponds and reinforce foundations to meet water conservancy and flood protection requirements, and reduce flood protection pressure. 4) Keep away from towns as much as possible to prevent mud pollution. At the resettlement action plan (RAP) and implementation stages, when land acquisition and house demolition is unavoidable, the Employer and the design agency will take a series of measures to reduce the Project’s negative impacts, such as further improving the project design, encouraging public participation, strengthening internal and external supervision mechanisms, and establishing a sound information feedback mechanism, etc. in order to reduce the Project’s impact on the locality.

Identification of related projects Related project refers to a project that is directly associated with the Project in function or benefit, and constructed concurrently with the Project during the preparation and implementation of the Project, namely an extended project constructed using funds other than World Bank lending within the range of the Project during the preparation and implementation of the Project. During project design, the Employer attached great importance to the identification of related projects, and the Project Management Office (PMO) and the design agency conducted a correlation analysis of all components. The old Fuyang ship lock is already expired, impeding the navigation of the Shaying River seriously. The Project aims to improve the navigational quality of the channel and improve the shipping capacity of the Shaying River. It has been confirmed by the design agency that the ongoing Fuyang ship lock reconstruction project is implemented together with the Project and is a related project of the Project. The survey results showed that only one project, named Fuyang Shiplock, links to the project, however, the resettlement review failed to find any land acquisition or resettlement. See Appendix 2.

Socioeconomic profile of affected villages The 20 permanent affected villages have 3,449 households in total, a total population of 13,944 people, and a per family population of 4.04. In these villages, per capita net income of farmers ranges from 1,800 yuan (Xiazhangwan Village) to 3,245 yuan (Fanying Village). The total arable area of the 20 villages is 9,533 mu, and per capita arable area 0.68 mu, mainly being dry land, used to grow wheat and other crops. It was learned from the in-depth interview with affected villagers and officials that most of these affected villagers do not rely on agricultural production as the main source of income, a small amount of farmland is left to elderly people for farming and young people mostly work outside. See Table 0-3.

Socioeconomic profile of affected ethnic minorities The Project involves 68 villages in 31 townships of one city (Jieshou City), three districts (Yingzhou, Yingquan and Yingdong) and two counties (Yingshang and Taihe). There are 40,252 households with 170,833 people in the affected areas, including a minority population of 9,212 people, accounting for 5.39% of total population. The Task Force from Hohai University investigated the distribution of ethnic minorities in the affected areas village by village with the assistance of the PMO. There are Hui people in 15 out of the 68 affected villages, in which 3 are villages inhabited centrally by Hui people, namely Saijian, Zhoutai and Baliduo Villages, Saijian Xiang, Yingshang County. Except dietary habits, the villagers of these villages lead the same life as the local Han people. Their children of school age receive the state’s uniform 9-year compulsory education, and their sources of income are the same as the local Han people, mainly being urban employment. In terms of crop cultivation, the local Hui people grow wheat and corn mainly, similar to the Han people. By comparing the features of the affected Hui people with the criteria in World Bank OP4.10, we find that these Hui villages do not meet all the 4 conditions for ethnic minority in World Bank OP4.10. Therefore, these 3 villages are not identified as minority villages for the purpose of World Bank OP4.10. See Appendix 3 for a detailed description of ethnic minorities.

Improving the compensation and resettlement system for land acquisition (12) Improving measures of compensation for land acquisition. County-level and above local people’s governments shall take practical measures so that the standard of living of farmers affected by land acquisition is not reduced by land acquisition. Land compensation, resettlement subsidy and compensation for ground annexes and crops shall be paid in full and timely pursuant to law. If the land compensation and resettlement subsidy pursuant to the prevailing laws and regulations are insufficient to maintain the former standard of living of the farmers affected by land acquisition or to pay the social security expenses of farmers who lose all land due to land acquisition, the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall approve an increased resettlement subsidy. If the sum of the land compensation and the resettlement subsidy attains the statutory upper limit and is still insufficient to maintain the former standard of living of the farmers affected by land acquisition, local people’s governments may pay a subsidy from the income from compensated use of state land. The people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall fix and publish the uniform annual output value standards or integrated land prices for land acquisition of all cities and counties, so that the same price applies to the same kind of land. For key construction projects of the state, land acquisition expenses must be listed in the budgetary estimate in full. Compensation rates and resettlement measures for large and medium-sized water resources and hydropower projects shall be otherwise stipulated by the State Council. (13) Resettling land-expropriated farmers properly. County-level and above local people’s governments shall take specific measures to guarantee long-term livelihoods of farmers affected by land acquisition. For projects with a stable income, farmers may become a shareholder using the right to use of land used for construction approved pursuant to law. 27 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

Within the urban planning area, local people’s governments shall bring farmers who lose all land due to land acquisition into the urban employment system, and establish a social security system; out of the urban planning area, in acquiring land collectively owned by farmers, local people’s governments shall reserve necessary arable land or arrange appropriate jobs for farmers affected by land acquisition within the same administrative area; farmers without land who do not have the basic living and production conditions shall be subject to non-local resettlement. The labor and social security authorities shall propose guidelines for the employment training and social security systems for farmers affected by land acquisition as soon as possible. (14) Improving land acquisition procedures. During land acquisition, the ownership of collective land of farmers and the right to contracted management of farmers’ land shall be maintained. Before land acquisition is submitted for approval pursuant to law, the use, location, compensation standard and mode of resettlement of the land to be acquired shall be notified to farmers affected by land acquisition; the survey results of the present situation of the land to be acquired shall be confirmed by rural collective economic organizations and farmers to be affected by land acquisition; if necessary, the land and resources authorities shall organize a hearing in accordance with the applicable provisions. The materials for notification to and confirmation by the farmers affected by land acquisition shall be taken as requisite materials for approval for land acquisition. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of the coordination and judgment mechanism for disputes over compensation and resettlement for land acquisition to protect the lawful rights and interests of farmers affected by land acquisition and land users. Approved matters of land acquisition shall be disclosed unless in special cases. (15) Strengthening Supervision over the implementation of land acquisition. If the compensation and resettlement for land acquisition has not been implemented, the acquired land shall not be used forcibly. The People’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall formulate the procedures for the distribution of the land compensation within rural collective economic organizations on the principle that the land compensation is used for rural households affected by land acquisition mainly. Rural collective economic organizations affected by land acquisition shall disclose the receipt, disbursement and allocation of land compensation fees to their members and accept supervision. The agricultural and civil affairs authorities shall strengthen the supervision over the allocation and use of land compensation fees within rural collective economic organizations. ¾ Relevant provisions of the Guidelines of the Ministry of Land and Resources on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition Article 1 Compensation rates for land acquisition (2) Fixation of uniform annual output value multiples. The uniform multiple of annual output value for land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy shall be fixed within the statutory range so that land-expropriated farmers’ standard of living is not reduced; if compensation fees for land acquisition calculated from the statutory uniform multiple of annual output value are insufficient for land-expropriated farmers to maintain their former standard of living or insufficient to cover their social security costs, the multiple shall be increased appropriately with the approval of the province-level people’s government; if an aggregate multiple of 30 for land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy is still insufficient for land-expropriated farmers to maintain their former standard of living, the local people’s government shall allocate a certain proportion from the income from the compensated use of state-owned land for subsidization. For basic farmland occupied with lawful approval, the highest compensation rate announced by the local people’s government shall apply. (3) Fixation of composite land prices for land acquisition areas. Where conditions permit, the province-level land and resources authority may fix composite land prices for land 28 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project acquisition for different counties and cities in the province together with other competent authorities, and report such prices to the province-level people’s government for approval, disclosure and implementation. Such prices shall be fixed in consideration of land type, output value, geographic location, farmland rating, per capita arable area, land supply-demand relationship, local economic level and minimum living security level of urban residents, etc. Article 2 Mode of resettlement of land-expropriated farmers: (5) Resettlement for agricultural production. In case of acquisition of farmers’ collective land out of the urban planning area, land-expropriated farmers shall be first provided with necessary farmland using rural collective mobile land, contracted land returned voluntarily by farmers, contracted land turnover and newly added farmland from land development and rearrangement so as to continue with agricultural production. (6) Resettlement by reemployment. Conditions shall be created positively to provide free labor skills training and jobs to land-expropriated farmers. Under equal conditions, the land user shall first employ land-expropriated farmers. In case of acquisition of farmers’ collective land within the urban planning area, land-expropriated farmers shall be included in the urban employment system, and a social security system established for them. (7) Resettlement by dividend distribution. For project construction land with long-term stable return, the affected rural collective economic organization may become a shareholder with compensation fees for land acquisition or the approved right to use the land for construction in consultation with the land user on a voluntary basis. The rural collective economic organization and farmers shall obtain proceeds in the form of priority shares under the contract. (8) Non-local resettlement. If basic production and living conditions are not available to land-expropriated farmers locally, the government may organize non-local resettlement in a unified manner in full consultation with the affected rural collective economic organization and farmers. Article 3 Working procedures of land acquisition: (9) Disclosure of information on land acquisition. Before land acquisition is approved, the local land and resources authority shall notify the purpose and location of the land to be acquired, compensation rates and resettlement mode to the affected rural collective economic organization and farmers in writing. After notification, any attachment or young crop built or cultivated by the affected rural collective economic organization and farmers on the land to be acquired temporarily shall not be compensated for upon land acquisition. (10) Confirmation of land acquisition survey results. The local land and resources authority shall survey the ownership, type and area of the land to be acquired, and the ownership, type and quantity of ground attachments thereon. The survey results shall be confirmed together with the affected rural collective economic organization, farmers and owners of ground attachments. (11) Organization of land acquisition hearing. Before land acquisition is approved, the local land and resources authority shall notify the affected rural collective economic organization and farmers the compensation rates and resettlement mode for the land to be acquired, which shall have the right to apply for a hearing. If the party concerned applies for a hearing, such hearing shall be organized in accordance with the Regulation on Public Hearings of Land and Resources. ¾ Relevant provisions of the Regulation on the Dismantlement of Urban Houses Article 6 Only if the agency about to demolish houses has obtained a permit for house demolition can demolition be implemented. Article 8 When issuing the permit for house demolition, the administrative department for house demolition shall disclose the demolisher, scope and period of demolition specified 29 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project in the permit for house demolition in the form of a house demolition announcement.

The implementation of resettlement activities is linked to the implementation of the investment component of the project to ensure that displacement or restriction of access does not occur before necessary measures for resettlement are in place. For impacts covered in para. 3(a) of this policy, these measures include provision of compensation and of other assistance required for relocation, prior to displacement, and preparation and provision of resettlement sites with adequate facilities, where required. In particular, taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has been paid and, where applicable, resettlement sites and moving allowances have been provided to the displaced persons. For impacts covered in para. 3(b) of this policy, the measures to assist the displaced persons are

34 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project implemented in accordance with the plan of action as part of the project (see para. 30). 11. Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies may include resettlement on public land, or on private land acquired or purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered, resettlers are provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area, or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the Bank. 15. Criteria for Eligibility. Displaced persons may be classified in one of the following three groups: (a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); (b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets—provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the Resettlement Plan; and (c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying.

Main differences between World Bank policies and laws of the PRC Compensation for resettlement of vulnerable groups ¾ Difference: World Bank policies require that special compensation is granted to all vulnerable groups, especially seriously affected households faced with pauperization. In Chinese compensation policies, compensation is based only on the quantity of loss. ¾ Solution: Special funds are available to assist the vulnerable groups, who will be identified during the detailed survey. Consultation and disclosure ¾ Difference: World Bank policies require the affected people are aware of all relevant information, and consulted with as soon as possible. Although there are measures on public announcement of land acquisition in China, the disclosure period is usually so short that the affected people cannot participate effectively. ¾ Solution: Consultation has begun at the early stage (before and during technical assistance). The PMO agrees to disclose the Resettlement Plan and provide the Resettlement Brochure to the affected people as required by World Bank. Lack of legal title ¾ Difference: World Bank policies require all demolished houses, whether lawful or unlawful, shall be compensated for at the same standards. According to Chinese laws, no compensation shall be provided for the acquisition of land and houses of unlawful owners. ¾ Solution: For World Bank financed projects, all affected people, whether lawful or unlawful, whether having ownership or right to use, will be protected before the cut-off date.

35 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

Resettlement monitoring, evaluation and reporting ¾ Difference: World Bank requires internal and external resettlement monitoring. However, there is no such requirement in Chinese laws, expect for reservoir projects. ¾ Solution: Internal and external resettlement monitoring systems have been established for all World Bank financed projects, and have been included in the Resettlement Plan.

Resettlement policies of the Project The resettlement policies applicable to the Project have been formulated in accordance with the policies of the PRC, the Anhui Provincial Government, the Fuyang Municipal Government and the World Bank on resettlement. For the purpose of the Project, no alteration shall be made to the relevant policy provisions, criteria for eligibility for entitlement, property appraisal criteria and compensation rates without the approval of the World Bank. According to the existing project design, the main impacts of the Project are land acquisition/occupation and house demolition, etc. The following policies apply to the project impacts.

(3) The land compensation rates shall be as specified in the Uniform Annual Output Value and Compensation Standard for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2009] No.132). Policy for permanent acquisition of state-owned land According to the applicable laws and regulations, the state-owned land occupied permanently by the Project is allocated gratuitously. Compensation and resettlement policies for houses on collective land

4.4.3.1 Compensation and resettlement for house demolition In the Project, residential houses to be demolished on collective land shall be subject to local restoration, non-local resettlement or single compensation; displaced persons will also receive a moving subsidy, a temporary resettlement subsidy and an incentive, etc. After receiving cash compensation, displaced persons may select different modes of resettlement based on their economic condition and family need.

The price of the restored house shall be calculated at the cost price

36 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

approved by the pricing authority. (2) Non-local resettlement: Where local restoration is infeasible, the relocated household shall enter a new countryside planning resettlement area according to the house demolition and resettlement plan of the land administrative department, and may purchase a house at the same price as the compensation rate for the demolished house. In addition, the village collective may also reallocate a housing site of the same area to the relocated household to rebuild a house. (3) Any relocated household to which neither local restoration nor non-local resettlement is feasible shall be compensated at a time at 150% of the amount of compensation for the demolished house. The additional 50% compensation is higher than that for the housing site.

4.4.3.2 Subsidies for relocation A moving subsidy and a lease subsidy for the transition period of house construction shall be granted to relocated households. (1) Moving subsidy: 200 yuan/household; (2) Lease subsidy for the transition period of house construction: 2 yuan/month·m2. Compensation and resettlement policies for houses on state-owned land The compensation for demolition of residential houses include house compensation fees and moving subsidy, etc, and displaced persons shall be resettled by cash compensation or property swap; displaced persons shall have the right to select the mode of compensation.

4.4.4.1 Compensation and resettlement for house demolition (1) In case of cash compensation, the compensation price of the demolished house shall be determined based on the demolished house’s geographic location, purpose and building area, and the appraised price on the real estate market, and paid to the displaced person, who shall secure a resettlement house itself.

The demolisher shall resettle the displaced person or lessee within the specified transition period (not more than 18 months). (3) If any displaced person selects cash compensation other than property swap, a subsidy of 20% shall be added to the appraised value of cash compensation for house demolition (including house and courtyard).

4.4.4.2 Subsidies for relocation (1) Moving subsidy: 4 yuan/m2 based on building area (2) Temporary resettlement subsidy: 5‰ of the benchmark rate (unit price) of demolished houses per month-m2 Compensation and restoration policies for temporary land occupation Temporary occupation of rural collective land shall be compensated for based on the purpose and loss of occupation. Compensation fees for temporary land occupation include young crop/ground attachment compensation fees, and land reclamation fees. Land occupied temporarily by the Project includes land occupied temporarily by construction sites and spoil grounds, mainly spoil grounds. These spoil grounds are mostly 37 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

hollow farmland and its level may be increased after disposal. In addition, fertile river bottomland can improve the fertility of the temporarily occupied land and eliminate the need for reclamation. Therefore, only young crop/ground attachment compensation fees are calculated for the farmland occupied by the spoil grounds without reclamation fees. For the land occupied temporarily by construction sites, compensation fees include young crop/ground attachment compensation fees and land reclamation fees. ¾ Temporarily occupied land shall be compensated for based on the period of occupation and the annual output value of land; non-arable land shall be compensated for by reference to arable land; the compensation rate is 1,500 yuan/mu/year; the period of temporary occupation shall not exceed 2 years. ¾ Land reclamation fees are 6 yuan/m2, and are not calculated for unused land. To reduce the impact of land acquisition on young crops, the Project will be constructed after harvesting or before sowing as the case may be, subject to a one month prior notice to affected farmers. No compensation fees shall be calculated for temporary occupation of state-owned land. Demolished ground attachments shall be compensated for at replacement cost or restored by the PMO according to the former standard and size under the project budget. Compensation policy for vulnerable groups In addition to the above policies, vulnerable groups affected by the Project are also entitled to some other preferential policies: ¾ If any displaced person is incapable of work, has no means of living or statutory supporter, the village committee shall assist him/her in building a house or send him/her to an old people’s home. ¾ Labor in households falling into vulnerable groups shall be provided with occupational training, job information and guidance to increase their job opportunities. ¾ During project construction, children of households falling into vulnerable groups shall be first recruited to do unskilled jobs. ¾ The agency responsible for relocation shall do its best to aid and support the relocation of households falling into vulnerable groups. Compensation policy for affected infrastructure and ground attachments Special facilities affected by the Project will be compensated for or rebuilt as required according t the former function, size and standard under the project budget. All ground attachments affected by the Project will be compensated for directly to their owners at replacement cost.

Compensation rates The compensation rates for different impacts of the Project have been fixed according to the above legal framework, and by reference to the policies of the PRC, the Anhui Provincial Government, the Fuyang Municipal Government and the World Bank on resettlement.

Compensation rates for acquisition of rural collective land The compensation rates for acquisition of collective land have been fixed according to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, the Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition, the Measures of Anhui Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC and Uniform Annual Output Value and Compensation Standard for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2009] No.132)5, etc., and the information and field survey findings provided by the municipal land and resources bureau concerned: (1) For farmland acquired for the Project, depending on per capita arable area, land compensation fees will be 6-10 times the uniform annual output value of the past 3 years (2007, 2008 and 2009) and resettlement subsidy 12-16 times the uniform annual output value of the past 3 years, totaling 28,000-53,000 yuan/mu, and young crop compensation fees 1/2 of the annual average output value of the past 3 years. (2) For unused land acquired for the Project, since such unused land is contracted to farmers by the collective for reclamation and planting, farmers can receive agricultural income except during the period of channel inundation. To ensure that farmers’ income is not reduced after land acquisition and their standard of living is not lower than the pre-acquisition level, the land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy rates of the Project are higher than those specified in the Uniform Annual Output Value and Compensation Standard for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2009] No.132). The rates for both land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy are 6 times the uniform annual output value of the past 3 years (In the Uniform Annual Output Value and Compensation Standard for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province, the compensation rate for unused land is 5 times the uniform annual output value of the past 3 years and that for resettlement subsidy 5-6 times the uniform annual output value of the past 3 years), and the compensation rate for young crops is still 1/2 of the output value of the past 3 years. The uniform annual output values and compensation rates of the rural collective land acquired for the Project are shown in Table 0-1. The compensation rates for rural housing sites shall be based on those for farmland6.

5 The compensation rate is clarified as follows:1) uniform annual output value; 2) comprehensive plot land price. The compensation rate is mainly calculated on the basis of land output value and per capita land. For this project, the uniform annual output value is applicable. 6 Since housing sites are available only by acquiring farmland, the compensation rates for housing sites of the Project shall be based on those for farmland on the basis of “replacement”. 39 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

Compensation rates for permanent occupation of state-owned land The land for construction of the Project is state-owned land for public infrastructure, which is obtained by allocation.

Compensation rates for temporary land occupation According to the provisions of the state, Anhui Province and Fuyang Municipality on temporary land occupation, compensation fees for temporary land occupation include young crop/ground attachment compensation fees and land reclamation fees. Land occupied temporarily by the Project is occupied mainly by the spoil grounds. These spoil grounds are mostly hollow farmland and its level may be increased after disposal. In addition, fertile river bottomland can improve the fertility of the temporarily occupied land and eliminate the need for reclamation. After consultation between the Employer and farmers, farmers have come to support the Project. Therefore, only young crop/ground attachment compensation fees are calculated for the farmland occupied by the spoil grounds without reclamation fees. Except the land occupied temporarily by the spoil grounds, compensation fees for land occupied temporarily by the Project include young crop/ground attachment compensation fees and land reclamation fees. Temporarily occupied land shall be compensated for based on the period of occupation and the annual output value of land; non-arable land shall be compensated for by reference to arable land To reduce the impact of land acquisition on young crops, the Project will be constructed after harvesting or before sowing as the case may be, subject to a one month prior notice to affected farmers. The compensation rates for temporary land occupation are shown in Table 0-2.

Production and Livelihood Restoration Programs for Displaced Persons The resettlement objective of the Project is to ensure that the displaced persons can receive full compensation for their losses, reasonable resettlement and satisfactory restoration, enable them to share the benefits of the Project and assist them in temporary difficulties, so that their income level and standard of living, and the affected enterprises’ production capacity and profitability are improved or at least restored, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. According to the applicable policies and the consultation with the affected people, the municipal PMO has developed compensation and resettlement programs for the affected people.

Resettlement objective To ensure that the displaced persons can receive full compensation for their losses, reasonable resettlement and satisfactory restoration, enable them to share the benefits of the Project and assist them in temporary difficulties, so that their income level and standard of living, and the affected enterprises’ production capacity and profitability are improved or at least restored, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher

Resettlement principles 1. Principle of minimizing resettlement Since the Project is in a belt form, the design route may be modified appropriately to minimize the resettlement impacts of the Project. 2. Principle of equivalent compensation To ensure that displaced persons’ standard of living is not reduced due to project implementation, the principle equivalent compensation will apply, which has two aspects: compensating for properties at replacement cost and for other losses on an equivalent basis. 3. Principle of key concern 1) The Project will pay attention to vulnerable groups (old people not living together with adult children, widows, single-parent families, the disabled, chronic patients and the poor). During relocation, they will be offered preferential policies in housing and employment, etc. After relocation, they will be visited regularly and assisted in special difficulties until handover to local civil affairs authorities. 2) Developmental relocation will be planned and local government forces utilized to give employment training to displaced persons and create job opportunities for them so that they can adapt to the environment of the resettlement site and become self-reliant economically, and the responsibility of resettlement is transferred from the resettlement agencies to displaced persons themselves. 3) The Project will pursue maximum resettlement cost-effectiveness, endeavor to improve the resettlement capacity of the resettlement agencies, regulate resettlement behavior and establish a sound internal control mechanism to prevent the waste and retention of funds, make good use of resettlement funds and attain the best resettlement effects.

Permanent acquisition of collective land Impact analysis of permanent land acquisition The Project acquires 1,658 mu of collective land permanently, involving 20 villages of Fuyang Municipality, affecting 442 households with 1,734 people, including dry land (278.1 mu), flood land (824.7 mu), unused land (549.8 mu) and housing base plot(5.4 mu).

45 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

In the socioeconomic survey, a comparative analysis was made of the farmland of the 20 affected villages before and after land acquisition. In terms of land loss rate, 7 villages have a land loss rate of less than 10%, 6 villages 10%-20%, 4 villages 20%-50% and 3 villages above 50%. The impacts of permanent land acquisition are shown in Table 0-1. In the 13 villages with a land loss rate of over 10%, except Xijie, Houzhuang and Sanba Villages, the other villages were acquired of land for dyke and dam works built in the 1970s. After that, the per capita arable area of these villages has been low, and the villagers here have no longer relied on agricultural production as their main source of income. Crops on their land are used mainly for own consumption, and the labor in the village earns a living by employment mainly, so land acquisition will not affect their income greatly. The Task Force has learned from interview that the villagers of these 7 villages generally think that they will have more opportunities of developing in town after receiving sufficient and reasonable cash compensation and training. For Xijie, Houzhuang and Sanba Villages, the Task Force has learned from interview that though the per capita arable area of these 3 villages is relatively high, the farmland is mainly flood land close to the channel and becomes non-arable in the flood season, agricultural income is restricted by season and natural environment, and still accounts for a small portion of their gross income. The main sources of family income are employment and doing business in town. Therefore, land acquisition will not affect the income the villagers of these 3 villages greatly. Farmers generally support land acquisition but ask for reasonable compensation, preferably cash compensation.

Resettlement program for permanent land acquisition At the feasibility study and preliminary design stages, the design agency compared the project options to minimize resettlement impacts. In March 2010, the Task Force held a focus group discussion with every village affected by land acquisition and house demolition to discuss a resettlement program, and determined the general resettlement plan based on displaced persons’ opinions and the practical conditions of the affected areas, namely compensation and resettlement by direct cash compensation and social security. According to most focus group discussions and interviews with affected people, all affected households ask for cash compensation with or without land reallocation in the village. The affected households will use the remaining land to cultivate cash crops and obtain a secure source of income. The main livelihood restoration measures of the Project include: (1) The affected households use compensation fees received and the remaining land to cultivate cash crops, deal with sideline operations or do small commodity business; (2) Eligible land-expropriated farmers will be covered by the basic endowment insurance of land- expropriated farmers after receiving compensation; (3) The spoil grounds are used to improve medium and low yield land, increase agricultural income and reduce the impact of land acquisition; and (4) The affected labor receives free technical training and job information. The resettlement program for those affected by land acquisition is shown in Table 0-2. Table 0-2 Resettlement program for acquisition of collective land Resettlement program Affected Agricultural (with remaining land) or Endowment insurance of land- population nonagricultural resettlement (people) expropriated farmers (people) 1,734 1,684 50

a) Direct cash compensation and agricultural resettlement with remaining land The affected villages are located along the Shaying River channel. Before project implementation, except Xijie, Sanba and Houzhuang Villages, the other villages have been acquired of land for channel, dyke and dam construction projects. Therefore, the affected villager teams have established practices for allocation of land compensation fees, which will be followed in the allocation of land compensation fees of the Project. According to the practical situation of the affected villager teams, land compensation fees will be allocated as follows mainly: Resettlement subsidy, and land and young crop compensation fees will be paid directly to the affected households without land reallocation. The Task Force has learned from the survey that among the affected villages, the committee of Xiazhangwan Village will draw 1,000 yuan/mu from land compensation fees as collective funds for developing the collective economy or public welfare programs. This mode has been recognized by the local villagers. Except Xiazhangwan Village, the other 26 affected villages will pay resettlement subsidy, and land and young crop compensation fees to farmers in full without land reallocation. b) Basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers According to the Measures of Fuyang Municipality for the Basic Endowment Insurance of Land-expropriated Farmers, within the urban planning area of Fuyang, land-expropriated farmers who lose all land or have a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu, have attained 16 years of age upon land acquisition and have not participated in the basic urban endowment insurance may join the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall be covered by endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers. Based on an impact analysis of land acquisition (Table 6-1), the per capita arable area of Xizou Garden will be less than 0.3 mu after land acquisition.

According to the survey, security funds of land-expropriated farmers consist of funds of a unified account 10 and an individual account. Under different programs, land-expropriated farmers are entitled to different policies. Personal account funds for the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers include premiums paid voluntarily by land-expropriated farmers and interests thereon. There are 3 payment levels of endowment insurance premiums: Level 1 3,600 yuan, Level 2 7,200 yuan and Level 3 10,800 yuan. Land-expropriated farmers participating in endowment insurance will receive endowment insurance benefits monthly from the following month when attaining the age of 60 years for men or 55 years for women. Endowment insurance benefits received by land-expropriated farmers consist of a basic benefit and a supplementary benefit. The basic benefit will be paid from the unified account, while the supplementary benefit from the personal account. After the personal account is used out, the supplementary benefit will be paid from the unified account. Personal account funds of the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers include individual payment, collective payment and interests thereon. The village collective will pay 4,000 yuan for each insured from land compensation fees and the collective economic organization’s operating income, etc., or this sum will be paid by the village collective or each individual directly to the municipal special financial account of endowment insurance funds of land-expropriated farmers. Depending on the type of insurance, land-expropriated farmers participating in endowment insurance may be entitled to different benefits, as shown in Table 0-3. Table 0-3 Payment and benefit rates of endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers Payment composition Benefit (yuan/month) No. Type and standard (yuan) Individual Collective Basic Supplementary Total Non-payment by both individual 1 0 0 80 0 80 and village collective Non-payment by individual, 2 0 4,000 80 50 130 payment by village collective 3,600 0 80 40 120 Payment by individual, 3 7,200 0 80 80 160 non-payment by village collective 10,800 0 80 120 200 3,600 4,000 80 90 170 Payment by both individual 4 7,200 4,000 80 130 210 and village collective 10,800 4,000 80 180 260 Those villagers affected by land acquisition can receive at least 28,000 yuan/mu for their acquired land, which is higher than the highest payment level of the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers of 10,800 yuan. In addition, even if affected households and villages make no payment, eligible land-expropriated farmers will also receive a monthly benefit of 80 yuan. Therefore, land-expropriated farmers will receive land compensation fees that are sufficient for endowment insurance payment and their livelihood will be ensured. In addition, According to the survey, most affected farmers, especially elderly ones, are willing to participate in endowment insurance. The implementation plan for the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers is described in Appendix 5. c) Medium and low yield land improvement To reduce the impact of land acquisition and temporary land occupation on the villages along the Shaying River, and in consideration of the utilization of river bottom fertile spoil11,

the PMO plans to use spoil to build and improve some medium and low yield land, barren land and borrow pits occupied temporarily by the spoil grounds medium and low yield land, barren land and borrow pits, and allocate or lease it to the affected people to reduce their land acquisition losses. See Appendix 4. The 34 temporary spoil grounds of the Project will occupy 9,831.3 mu of rural collective land, in which the ponds, barren land and borrow pits that may be used for land reclamation have a total area of 1,607.1 mu (16.35%); hollow medium and low yield land that may be improved has a total area of 3,080.4 mu (31.33%). Among the 20 villages affected by land acquisition, Sanba and Datao Villages have 1,203.5 mu of medium and low yield land that can be turned into high-yield land. In these two villages, total land acquisition area is 317.6 mu, affecting 68 households with 252 people. See Table 0-4.

Demolition of residential houses The Project involves demolition of residential houses only, with a total area of 29,686.2 m2, affecting 364 households with 1,489 people, including houses on collective land of 1,802.2 m2, affecting 18 households with 83 people, and houses on state-owned land of 27,884 m2, affecting 346 households with 1,406 people. Resettlement for demolition of rural residential houses The Project involves demolition of rural residential houses of 1,802.2 m2, affecting 18 households with 83 people and 3 villages (Sanba, Wuzhai and Xijie). In rural areas, demolished houses are poorly equipped, bad in quality or irrational in structure, the supporting facilities around the settlements are poor, and traffic is inconvenient. In the 3 affected villages, 4 households in Wuzhai Village and 2 in Xijie Village are affected. These households will be reallocated a housing site by the village collective for resettlement. The village committee is in charge of the activities of site formation (Electricity, water supply , roads are available, etc) , the cost is included in the plot land acquisition. In addition, the relocated households will receive replacement cost and a moving subsidy. The Task Force has learned from interview that the relocated households are willing to accept this mode of resettlement. In Sanba Village, 12 households with 56 people are affected. This village has been acquired of land for channel, dyke and dam works before project implementation. The demolition range includes old sites of dyke and dam works. These villagers have been compensated and resettled in dyke and dam works, and already have housing elsewhere, so they will not be resettled under the Project. However, to ensure the livelihood of these villagers and help them improve their standard of living, their houses will be compensated for at replacement cost. The Task Force has learned through interview that these villagers are satisfied with the mode of resettlement.

11 EIA has test the sludge of the river bottom, the results showed that the spoil can be reused as farmland.

Resettlement for demolition of urban residential houses The Project involves demolition of urban residential houses of 27,884 m2, affecting 346 households with 1,406 people, involving Jieshou City and Taihe County respectively. The demolition area of Jieshou City is 22,434 m2, affecting 271 households with 1,105 people, and that of Taihe County 5,450 m2, affecting 75 households with 301 people. The mode of compensation for house demolition is cash compensation or property swap. According to the Task Force’s survey, the affected residential houses in Jieshou City and Taihe County are old, small, poorly equipped and have a bad environment, and it is inconvenient for residents to live and trip. For the purpose of compensation and resettlement, displaced persons will select a qualified appraisal agency to appraise their houses based on geographic location, structure, use, floor and orientation on the basis of replacement. Displaced persons may select a secondhand or commercial house of suitable location and area based on their needs to improve living conditions. The compensation rates for urban residential houses of Jieshou City are: reinforced concrete structure 1,430 yuan/m2 and masonry concrete structure 1,250 yuan/m2. Commercial housing prices of this city are 1,200- 1,600 yuan/m2, and secondhand housing prices 1,100-1,500 yuan/m2. The compensation rates for urban residential houses of Taihe County are: reinforced concrete structure 1,480 yuan/m2 and masonry concrete structure 1,300 yuan/m2. Commercial housing prices of this county are 1,350-1,700 yuan/m2 and secondhand housing prices 1,100-1,560 yuan/m2. It can be seen that cash compensation fees and moving subsidy are sufficient for the relocated households to buy firsthand or secondhand housing. In addition, it was learned by the Task Force that the affected areas of Taihe County and Jieshou City are old urban areas, where real estate development is strong, and the supply of new housing is sufficient. According to online information of Fuyang’s real estate transaction websites (http://fy.58.com/ and http://fuyang.baixing.com/), sufficient information on secondhand housing is available in Jieshou City and Taihe County, so that displaced persons can buy suitable commercial or secondhand housing.

Gratuitous allocation of state-owned land The Project involves permanent occupation of 98.83 mu of state-owned land, all being allocated and involving no resettlement.

Restoration program for temporarily occupied land The navigation works, bridge works and supporting works of the Project will occupy 31 mu of state-owned roads and channels temporarily. Such land is within the road and channel planning boundary lines, avoiding construction on densely populated streets and reducing the impact on pedestrian and road traffic. Therefore, no land occupation fees will be incurred. The Project will occupy 9,843.3 mu of collective land, to be occupied for the storage of construction machinery and by the spoil grounds. Collective land will be occupied by the spoil grounds mainly. Spoil produced by the dredging works will be carried to the spoil grounds, occupying 9,831.3 mu of collective land temporarily, including 6,778.8 mu of dry land (68.87%), 26.2 mu of pond (0.27%), 1,457.4 mu of nursery (14.81%) and 1,580.9 mu of barren land (16.06%). Farmland occupation should be avoided where possible. Land occupied temporarily by the spoil grounds is mostly hollow farmland, its level may be increased by spoil produced during dredging to prevent land inundation by floods. It has been confirmed by the EIA agency that fertile river bottomland can improve the fertility of the temporarily occupied land and can be used directly for farming after the temporary occupation period. In the land occupied temporarily by the Project, except the land occupied temporarily by the spoil grounds, the restorer shall be determined by representatives of affected households, the village collective and the implementing agencies together. 51 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

To minimize the impact of temporary land occupation, the key principles of restoration are as follows: ¾ The affected households will have priority. Thus, not only the affected people will receive job opportunities and increase their family income, but also the quality of land restoration will be ensured. If the affected households and the village collective are unwilling to restore the occupied land themselves, the land will be reclaimed by the implementing agencies. ¾ Strict measures will be taken to protect surface soil during construction to avoid irrecoverable impacts. During excavation, surface soil (recommended thickness 30- 50cm) will be gathered and piled separately, and water loss and soil erosion prevention measures taken. After construction, subsurface soil will be backfilled first, then surface soil laid evenly on the surface, and the site leveled to mitigate the impact on farmland quality. Land that hardens temporarily during construction will be plowed immediately after construction to restore its looseness. ¾ For some barren land and old borrow pits, the construction agency may fill fertile channel silt to turn them into arable land and increase land resources. To improve the economic, social and ecological benefits of the Project, and reduce the impact of temporary land occupation on farmers, the PMO has entrusted the Task Force to prepare a plan for land reclamation and medium and low yield land improvement of the spoil grounds, as described in Appendix 6.

Restoration program for affected vulnerable groups In the affected population of the Project, 21 households with 80 people fall into vulnerable groups, in which 16 households with 74 people receive MLS, accounting for 92.5%; and there are 5 five-guarantee households with 6 people, accounting for 7.5%. The vulnerable groups affected by the Project are related to the bridge reconstruction work in Jieshou City and the channel works. ¾ MLS households 1) Two laborers of every affected household will receive livelihood training and priority in employment (working outside, working in project construction, etc.); 2) They will receive a government subsidy. ¾ Five-guarantee households 1) The village collective will subsidize five-guarantee households every month; 2) The village committee may arrange five-guarantee households to enter an old people’s home on voluntary basis. Except the above measures, the PMO will grant a subsidy of 5,000 yuan to every household with difficulty in order to protect the interests of the affected vulnerable groups. Protection of women’s rights Women will participate fully in resettlement activities through information disclosure and meetings of the village collective; they will have the same rights as men in receiving compensation, being employed for the Project and attending training. In addition, the following measures will be taken to ensure women’s rights and interests: (1) During project construction, a certain number of women (at least 20% of unskilled labor) will obtain unskilled job opportunities. In addition, women will receive equal pay for equal work like men; (2) Technical training will be first provided to affected female laborers to ensure that their economic status will not be lowered; 52 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

(3) Affected women will receive relevant information during resettlement and participate in public consultation and resettlement. The compensation agreement must be signed by a coupled. Restoration program for ground attachments After owners of affected ground attachments have been compensated by the implementing agencies, they will be rebuilt by owners. In addition, restoration measures for demolished facilities must be planned and arranged in advance and suited to local conditions, so that such measures are safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and their adverse impact on nearby residents is minimized.

2. Comparison of features of affected ethnic minorities with World Bank definition The Task Force investigated the 3 villages. Except dietary habits, the villagers of these villages lead the same life as the local Han people. Their children of school age receive the state’s uniform 9- year compulsory education, and their sources of income are the same as the local Han people, mainly being urban employment. In terms of crop cultivation, the local Hui people grow wheat and corn mainly, similar to the Han people. By comparing the features of the affected Hui people with the criteria in World Bank OP4.10, we find that these Hui villages do not meet all the 4 conditions for ethnic minority in World Bank OP4.10. Therefore, these 3 villages are not identified as minority villages for the purpose of World Bank OP4.10. See Attached Table 2.

Appendix 4 Land reclamation and medium and low yield land improvement project for sludge disposal sites

Land occupied temporarily by the Project is occupied mainly by the spoil grounds, with a total occupied area of 9,831.3 mu, including 1,457.4 mu of nursery (14.82%), 6,766.8 mu of dry land (68.83%) (including 3,080.4 mu of bottomland), and 1,607.1 mu of ponds, barren land and borrow pits (16.35%). In consideration of the relatively small per capita arable area of the affected areas, and the economic, environmental and social benefits of the Project, the PMO plans to use fertile spoil from the bottom of the Shaying River to fill ponds, barren land and borrow pits temporarily occupied by the Project to reclaim land. In addition, bottomland out of the dyke will be raised with spoil to improve farming quality and prevent flooding. The experiments and tests of EIA agency (Shanghai Ship and Shipping Research Institute) reveal that bottom mud of the Shaying River contains nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutritive elements and minerals, as well as organics and a variety of microelements that are not rare in ordinary mineral fertilizers. As the base fertilizer and complementary fertilizer for farmland, bottom mud not only provides all nutrients required for the growth of crops and increases the output of crops, but also improves the fertility of soil fertilizers and soil moisture content. Therefore, it is feasible to use spoil from the Shaying River for land reclamation and medium and low yield land improvement. In 2007, the Anhui Provincial Government approved the Flood Drainage Plan of the Huai River Watershed of Anhui Province, which was to be implemented in stages. The priority in the near future is to improve bottomland along the Huai River with an area of 9,000 km2, including 8 million mu of farmland, involving a population of over 7 million. Spoil utilization under the Project can play a good exemplary role for the implementation of this plan.

1. Principles of land reclamation and medium and low yield land improvement 1.1 Principle of suiting local conditions This principle requires that claimed land should be used for forestry or farming as the case may be so that land utilization is optimized. In addition, the disposal of spoil should be noted during land reclamation and improvement based on the actual conditions of the spoil grounds to prevent under- disposal or over-disposal, otherwise land would not be optimum for utilization. 1.2 Principle of “whoever improves land will benefit” This principle aims to give full play to the role of the affected people/villagers as the subject; county, town and village officials should hold meetings, prepare publicity materials and posters, and utilize local news media to give extensive publicity, so that the affected people realize the benefits of land improvement, and participate in land improvement actively. Under equal conditions, newly claimed and improved land should be allocated or leased to the affected people. 1.3 Principle of conservation and intensivism This principle requires that land should be utilized to the greatest possible extent during land reclamation and medium and low yield land improvement to prevent waste, turn spoil “from waste to treasury”, maximize the amount of farmland and increase the output of medium and low yield land. 1.4 Principle of overall benefits This principle requires that economic, social and ecological benefits should be paid equal attention to during land reclamation and medium and low yield land improvement: Economically, the

82 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

cost of land reclamation and improvement should be considered, and rational engineering measures taken for land reclamation and improvement; socially, success experience in land reclamation and improvement should be publicized to provide a reference for other domestic water resources projects; ecologically, the environment should be protected during land reclamation and improvement.

2. Present land situation of sludge disposal sites The 34 temporary spoil grounds of the Project will occupy 9,831.3 mu of rural collective land, in which the ponds, barren land and borrow pits that may be used for land reclamation have a total area of 1,607.1 mu (16.35%); hollow medium and low yield land that may be improved has a total area of 3,080.4 mu (31.33%); the area of temporarily occupied arable dry land is 5,143.8 mu (52.32%). According to the survey, ponds, barren land and borrow pits in the affected villages are not used for farming or stockbreeding, and are seriously abandoned. The wheat yield per mu of medium and low yield land is about 600 jin per harvest. There are usually two harvests in the affected areas. 2.1 Present situation of ponds, barren land and borrow pits The barren land, ponds and borrow pits occupied temporarily by the spoil grounds, located at the 4#, 9#, 10#, 11# and 17# spoil grounds in Taihe County, Yingquan District and Yingshang County respectively, with a total area of 1,607.1 mu. See Attached Table 3. The Task Force has learned from the survey that such ponds, barren land and borrow pits are not used for farming and stockbreeding, and have been left unused for a long time. This is a great waste for the relatively small per capita arable area in the affected areas.

2.2 Present situation of medium and low yield land

The medium and low yield land occupied temporarily by the spoil grounds, located at the 2#, 3#, 5#, 7#, 15#, 29#, 30# and 34# spoil grounds in Jieshou City, Yingdong District, Yingzhou District, Yingquan District and Yingshang County, with a total area of 3,680.4 mu. See Attached Table 4. The Task Force has learned from the survey that the land occupied by these spoil grounds is depressed dry land. In bottomland areas, due to unsmooth drainage, groundwater level is relatively high all the year round. Therefore, once there is relatively more rainfall, flooding is very likely to occur even if water logging has been drained. In usual years, crops in bottomland areas have a significantly lower yield than high yield land due to potential flooding. It was learned from the interview of farmers in Yingshang County and Jieshou City that most of them expect to raise the level of land with spoil produced by the Project, thereby improving land quality.

1. Implementation plan of land reclamation and medium and low yield land improvement Three aspects should be planned properly before land reclamation and low yield land improvement: First, canal roads, structures and field roads: Since bottom mud of the Shaying River has relatively high moisture content, preparation should be made for the construction of drainage canals before disposal of spoil. In addition, in order to develop large-scale operation, extensive land improvement should be planned before disposal of spoil, and field roads should be designed rationally for easy access of machinery. Second, soil delivery plan: Before disposal of spoil, the number of slurry pumps for riverbed construction and relay pumps on the bank should be determined, and the earth capacity, dredging range and earth discharge range of each pump defined pursuant to the requirement that channel dredging should be combined closely with bottomland improvement. Third, power supply and consumption plan: Transformers and power lines should be arranged rationally based on the practical conditions of the power sources and facilities along the channel, so that the slurry and relay pumps are supplied with power properly and safely. 85 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

3.1 Land reclamation Water in ponds should be drained completely by the construction agency using pumping equipment before land reclamation to prevent excessively high moisture content of soil after spoil filling, otherwise the fertility of land might be affected. After drainage, the construction agency will dispose spoil to the ponds, flatten out the ponds mechanically timely thereafter, and excavate open drain ditches. The flattened land will be handed over to the appropriate village committee or individuals directly for reclamation. For water containing barren land and borrow pits, the construction agency will excavate open drain ditches before land reclamation to divert excess water. Then, the construction agency will dispose spoil to barren land and borrow pits, and flatten them out mechanically timely. The flattened land will be handed over to the appropriate village committee or individuals directly for reclamation. Since bottom mud of the Shaying River has relatively high moisture content, after spoil disposal and land leveling by the construction agency, the village committee or villagers of the affected village will excavate blind ditches themselves after land reclamation to reduce the moisture content of soil. In addition, farmers should select suitable crops as the case may be to prevent yield reduction due to excessively high moisture content. The construction agency should consider the future need for mechanized farming during land leveling and reserve rational field roads during spoil disposal and land leveling. Field roads should be arranged in “ ”, “ ” or “” forms, so that land is connected into pieces where possible and machinery has easy access. After the completion of the Project, the whole area should be fully covered by mechanized farming roads to ensure mechanized operation and the transport of agricultural means of production. 3.2 Medium and low yield land improvement Surface damming and silt burial and covering measures should be taken as the case may be in medium and low yield land improvement. Surface damming: Bottomland is a natural cofferdam. Mellow soil of the top layer of 20-30cm must be taken to build a 0.5m high and 0.8m wide cofferdam with a gradient of 1:1-1:1.5 to meet the required excess draft and safe freeboard, prevent slurry from overflowing into surrounding fertile land, and ensure that improved fields are largely level with the surrounding ground after silt deposition. For uneven or inclined bottomland, the cofferdam height should vary with ground level, so that the cofferdam top is largely on the same horizontal line with a height difference of less than 5cm. Filling should begin with the very bottom by filling, leveling, impurity removal and tamping layer by layer. At existing water outlets, loopholes and extremely low points, particular attention should be paid to tamping quality to eliminate any potential hazard. Silt burial and covering: During channel construction, a slurry pump will be used to feed riverbed earth into bottomland. Note that the silt deposit in the field should be largely level with the land out of the cofferdam. After the water logging in the cofferdam has been drained and a certain solidification period has elapsed, cofferdam soil will be laid on silt and leveled to reach the preliminary target of bottomland improvement. Some bottomland is like a narrow belt vertical to the river, where drainage is possible at the far end only. In order to improve soil structure and reduce the workload of leveling, the soil outlet should be moved from the near end to the far end as the case may be. An afflux groove should be preferably formed, and the slurry flow in the groove stirred often. After surface damming and silt burial and covering, the construction agency will hand over the land to the affected village collective or individual land contractors for reclamation.

2. Overall benefit analysis In the Project, spoil will be used to improve some land of the spoil grounds. 1,607.1 mu of land will be reclaimed and 3,080.4 mu of medium and low yield land improved in total. The total area of reclaimed and improved land accounts for 46.67% of the area of temporarily occupied land. The reclaimed and improved land can be used to grow wheat and corn, etc. Land reclamation and improvement will generate favorable economic, social and ecological benefits. Economic benefits: Medium and low yield land improvement can reduce the impact of land acquisition on some villages in the channel works and supporting works. Sanba and Datao Villages involved in this program are acquired of 317.6 mu land in the Project in total, affecting 68 households with 252 people; on the other hand, improved land area attains 1,203.5 mu and beneficiary population is 448 households with 1,583 people, producing significant economic benefits. According to the survey, the cost of reclamation of 1 mu of land is about 1,000 yuan. Since soil has relatively high moisture content after land reclamation and improvement, the land will be left unused for one year to remove excess moisture, during which the land will be non-arable. If it is assumed that medium and low yield land has two harvests a year and an average wheat output of 600 jin per mu, and the price is 0.8 yuan per jin in Fuyang, farmers’ loss in the first year of reclamation will be 1,960 yuan/mu for medium and low yield land or 1,000 yuan/mu for ponds, barren land and borrow pits. See Attached Table 5. Based on conservative estimates, for land reclamation, if it assumed that medium and low yield land has an average wheat output of 600 jin per mu and the price is 0.8 yuan per jin in Fuyang, the net return on the reclaimed land will be 960 yuan per mu one year after reclamation, and the reclaimed land will produce economic income of 1.5428 million yuan annually. For bottomland improvement, if high-yield land has an average wheat output of 1,000 jin per mu and the price is 0.8 yuan per jin, the improved land will produce a net added value of 640 yuan per mu-year or 1.972 million yuan in total. Since the compensation rate for temporary land occupation of the Project is 1,500 yuan/mu, which is sufficient for land reclamation, and the return on reclaimed and improved land will be long lasting, the Project will generate significant economic benefits.

Attached Table 5 Cost and return of land reclamation and improvement Annual return Investment (yuan/mu) (yuan/year) Item Cost of Cost of Net added output suspension secondary Total cost value of farming plowing Medium and low yield land 960 1,000 1,960 640 improvement Reclaimed land 0 1,000 1,000 960

Social benefits: After medium and low yield land improvement, the agricultural income of beneficiary farmers will increase significantly, promoting the improvement of their standard of living. In addition, since there is over 8 million mu of barren land and depressed medium and low yield land in the Huai River watershed, the Project will provide valuable experience for the improvement of such land and play an excellent exemplary role, generating significant social benefits.

87 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

Ecological benefits: According to the survey of the EIA agency, after land reclamation and improvement, a 4-meter-high corridor-type green belt will be created through landscaping along the river banks to resist wind and conserve water and soil. Well filled bottom mud will not flow back into the river and will beautify the environment and regulate the microclimate, generating significant ecological benefits.

3. Implementation management Supervision and management: The county PMOs shall be responsible for the supervision and management of the Project, including fund use and disbursement management, construction progress supervision, construction quality supervision, staffing management and organizational coordination management, etc. The village committee of each affected village should urge farmers to use land timely after land improvement to avoid land waste. Implementing agency: The construction agency shall be responsible for spoil disposal and land leveling, and the village committee of the affected village or individual land contractors shall be responsible for subsequent land arrangement. Source of funds: The Employer will pay spoil disposal costs of 386.4787 million yuan to the construction agency from the project budget. After leveling by the construction agency, land arrangement costs will be disbursed by the village committee or land contractors from compensation fees for temporary land occupation. Land allocation: The village committee of the affected village or land contractors will allocate or lease leveled land to the affected people first.

Appendix 5 Plan for implementing the endowment insurance for land- expropriated farmers in the affected areas

The Project acquires 1,658 mu of collective land permanently, involving 10 villages of Fuyang Municipality, affecting 442 households with 1,734 people, including dry land (278.1 mu), flood land (824.7 mu) and unused land (549.8 mu), totaling 1,652.6 mu. In terms of per capita arable area, the per capita arable area of one village (Xizou Garden) will be less than 0.3 mu after land acquisition; in terms of land loss rate, 7 villages have a land loss rate of less than 10%, 6 villages 10%-20%, 4 villages 20%-50% and 3 villages above 50%. Since land- expropriated farmers may be generated in villages with a higher land loss rate, this plan has been prepared to ensure the interests and income restoration of land-expropriated farmers. 1. Policy basis Land-expropriated farmers generated by the Project shall be secured in accordance with the Measures of Fuyang Municipality for the Basic Endowment Insurance of Land-expropriated Farmers (FMG Ban [2009] No.45), and all counties and districts of Fuyang Municipality shall comply with these Measures. The relevant provisions are as follows: Article 3 People of the agricultural status in household registration who have lost all contracted land or have a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu after land acquisition pursuant to law, having attained 16 years of age upon land acquisition and having not effected the basic endowment insurance of urban workers may cover the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers voluntarily. Article 4 The basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall be subject to the principles of insurance upon acquisition, insurance before acquisition and no approval of land acquisition without securing social security costs. Article 5 The labor and social authorities of all localities shall be responsible for the management of the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers. The rural social endowment insurance agencies of the labor and social authorities of all localities (hereinafter referred to the handling agencies) shall be responsible for day-to-day work of the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers, and their labor costs and funds shall be included in the fiscal budget and disbursed from the finance of the same level. Article 6 Endowment insurance funds for farmers land-expropriated farmers consist of unified funds and personal account funds, and shall be used specifically for the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers. Article 7 Unified funds for the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall consist of government contribution. The government contribution shall be disbursed from the income from the compensated use of state-owned land, such as land transfer fees, or collected from the land user for administratively allocated land, both at the rate of 25 yuan/m2. The government contribution shall be included in land acquisition costs, and collected by the district and county land and resources authorities together with the financial authorities according to the above rate, and transferred to the municipal special financial account of endowment insurance funds of land-expropriated farmers. Article 8 Personal account funds for the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall individual payment, collective payment and interests thereon.

2. Implementation management The labor and social authorities of all localities shall be responsible for the management of the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers. The rural social endowment insurance agencies of the labor and social authorities of all localities shall be responsible for day-to-day work of the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers, and their labor costs and funds shall be included in the fiscal budget and disbursed from the finance of the same level. The labor and social authorities of Yingdong District, Fuyang Municipality, Yingquan District, Yingzhou District, Jieshou City, Taihe County and Yingshang County involved in the Project shall be responsible for the day-to-day management of the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers, set up a special account for land-expropriated farmers generated by the Project, and ensure that insurance funds are sufficient and disbursed timely. 3. Subject of insurance According to the Measures of Fuyang Municipality for the Basic Endowment Insurance of Land- expropriated Farmers, within the urban planning area of Fuyang, land-expropriated farmers who lose all land or have a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu, have attained 16 years of age upon land acquisition and have not participated in the basic urban endowment insurance may join the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall be covered by endowment insurance of land- expropriated farmers. 4. Insurance standard Security funds of land-expropriated farmers consist of funds of a unified account 13 and an individual account. Under different programs, land-expropriated farmers are entitled to different policies. Personal account funds for the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers include premiums paid voluntarily by land-expropriated farmers and interests thereon. There are 3 payment levels of endowment insurance premiums: Level 1 3,600 yuan, Level 2 7,200 yuan and Level 3 10,800 yuan. Land-expropriated farmers participating in endowment insurance will receive endowment insurance benefits monthly from the following month when attaining the age of 60 years for men or 55 years for women. Endowment insurance benefits received by land-expropriated farmers consist of a basic benefit and a supplementary benefit. The basic benefit will be paid from the unified account, while the supplementary benefit from the personal account. After the personal account is used out, the supplementary benefit will be paid from the unified account. Personal account funds of the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers include individual payment, collective payment and interests thereon. The village collective will pay 4,000 yuan for each insured from land compensation fees and the collective economic organization’s operating income, etc., or this sum will be paid by the village collective or each individual directly to the municipal special financial account of endowment insurance funds of land-expropriated farmers. Depending on the type of insurance, land-expropriated farmers participating in endowment insurance may be entitled to different benefits, as shown in Attached Table 6.

5. Implementation plan The districts and counties of Fuyang Municipality shall implement the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers for eligible land-expropriated farmers generated by the Project as follows together with the townships/sub-districts and villages/communities: Fund raising: The Employer must pay social security premiums of land-expropriated farmers within 3 months after the date of approval of the land compensation and resettlement plan, and the land and resources authorities shall examine such funds according to the basis of payment. Endowment insurance premiums paid by individuals shall be collected by the district and county handling agencies, and transferred to the special financial account of social security funds of land- expropriated farmers monthly. Identification of subjects: After land acquisition, land-expropriated farmers shall apply for social security in the unit of family. Such application shall be discussed by the villager team and disclosed. After disclosure, a list shall be prepared and submitted to the township government, township land and resources authority and township police station for preliminary examination, and then submitted to the district land and resources authority, public security organ and handling agency for reexamination. The above authorities shall examine the list according to FMG Ban [2009] No.45.

A Purpose of resettlement M&E According to the World Bank policy on resettlement, the resettlement work of the Project will be subject to external M&E by examining the progress, funding and management of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement, and analyzing and comparing the production level and standard of living of displaced persons. While submitting reports to the World Bank, Provincial PMO and competent authorities regularly (twice a year during the resettlement period), the external monitoring agency will provide information and advice as a reference for decision-making. External M&E will enable the World Bank and competent authorities to well understand whether land acquisition and resettlement work is conducted on schedule and as expected, point out issues and provide advice for improvement. B Scope of resettlement M&E (1) M&E of land acquisition progress ‹ Including: land acquisition progress; restoration of infrastructure; restoration of temporarily occupied land (2) M&E of fund availability and use ‹ Including: fund availability; fund use (planned vs. actual) (3) M&E of standard of living of displaced persons ‹ Including: production level and standard of living before relocation; production level and standard of living after relocation; comparative analysis and evaluation of production levels and standards of living before and after relocation (4) Capacity evaluation of the implementing agencies, public participation and grievance redress C Technical route The technical route of external M&E is shown in Attached Figure 3.

A. Brief description of the Project The Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”) aims to restore the navigation of the Shaying River fully through channel dredging, obstructive bridge reconstruction, bank seepage control, the setup of revetments and anchorage service zones, and the deployment of navigation aids and signs. The Project consists of three components: channel and dredging works, bridge reconstruction and supporting works. In the channel and dredging works, the mileage of the regulated channel will be 205.6km. In the bridge reconstruction works, 10 obstructive bridges will be rebuilt. The supporting works include 2 anchorage service zones and 6 anchorages. In addition, channel communication and video monitoring systems will be built around Fuyang Municipality in the Project, and navigation aids and signs will be arranged along the channel. All navigational marks will be illuminated at night. The total investment in resettlement is 169.3350 million yuan, accounting for 9% of the total investment in the Project. Of the total resettlement costs, the costs for acquisition of rural collective land are 52.7795 million yuan (31.17%); costs for temporary land occupation 11.4899 million yuan (6.79%); costs for house demolition 38.2504 million yuan (22.59%); compensation costs for demolition of attachments 1.4053 million yuan (0.83%); and all taxes amount to 65.41 million yuan (38.63%). See for the detailed budget.

D Resettlement organization

To ensure successful resettlement as desired, a top-down organization must be set up during project implementation to plan, coordinate and monitor resettlement activities. Since resettlement is a very extensive task that necessitates the assistance and collaboration of all departments, the land and resources, forestry and agriculture authorities, etc. will participate and assist in the implementation of resettlement. Each affected township and village has one or two leaders responsible mainly for resettlement. The agencies responsible for the land acquisition and house demolition work of the Project include: ¾ APCD Foreign-funded Project Management Office (Provincial PMO) ¾ APSCIG ¾ Headquarters of Fuyang Municipality and counties (including county-level cities) thereunder14 ¾ Town PMOs ¾ Village (neighborhood) committees ¾ Design agency ¾ External independent M&E agency E Grievance redress Since public participation is encouraged during the preparation and implementation of the Resettlement Plan, no substantial dispute will arise. However, unexpected issues may arise during the whole process. In order to solve such issues effectively and ensure successful project completion and land acquisition, a 5-stage grievance redress mechanism has been established for the Project: ¾ Stage 1: If any displaced person is dissatisfied with the Resettlement Plan, he/she can report this to the village committee or sub-district resettlement office orally or in writing. In case of an oral appeal, the village committee or sub-district resettlement office shall handle such appeal and keep written records. Such appeal should be solved within 2 weeks; ¾ Stage 2: If the displaced person is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the headquarters of Fuyang Municipality or any county (including county-level city) thereunder. After receiving such disposition, they shall make a disposition within 7 days; ¾ Stage 3: If the displaced person is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to the on-site PMO of APSCIG. After receiving such disposition, he shall make a disposition within 2 weeks; ¾ Stage 4: If the displaced person is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may escalate the appeal to the competent administrative organs in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving such disposition for arbitration. ¾ Stage 5: If the displaced person is still dissatisfied with the arbitration award, he/she may file a suit in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving the arbitration award. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the affected people for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from contingency costs. During the whole

14 The construction headquarters of the Project will be established based on the MSA in conjunction with the land and resources bureau, relocation office, water resources bureau, communications bureau and construction bureau to be responsible for resettlement. 110 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

construction period of the Project, these appeal procedures will remain effective, so that the affected people can use them to solve relevant issues. The above appeal channel will be notified to displaced persons through mass media, so that displaced persons are fully aware of their right of appeal. The grievance redress process will be disclosed to the affected people through mass media. F Resettlement implementation schedule The general resettlement schedule of the Project has been drafted according to the progress of preparation and implementation activities of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement. The specific period of implementation may be adjusted due to any deviation from the general schedule. See

Background 1. Fuyang is located in northwestern Anhui, the south tip of the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain and the west of the Huaibei Plain. It borders Zhoukou and Zhumadian Cities, Henan Province on the west, Xinyang City, Henan Province on the southwest, Bozhou City on the north and northeast, and Huainan City on the east, and abuts on the Huai River across Liu’an City on the south. Presently, Fuyang Municipality governs Jieshou City, Taihe, Linquan, Yingshang and Funan Counties, and Yingzhou, Yingquan and Yingdong Districts, with an area of 9,775 km2 and a population of 9.743 million, being the largest population municipality of Anhui Province. 2. Fuyang abounds with resources, and is an important production base of farm and sideline products of the state, and also a rising coal and energy base of Anhui Province and even the whole eastern China region. According to statistics, Fuyang’s regional GDP was 75.512 billion yuan in 2007, in which the added value of primary industries was 8.131 billion yuan, that of secondary industries 40.401 billion yuan and that of tertiary industries 25.272 billion yuan. Annual social investment in fixed assets attained 43.03 billion yuan, in which the investment in urban fixed assets was 38.821 billion yuan, ranking second in the province. Annual fiscal revenue was 14.013 billion yuan. In 2007, the average pay of in-service workers of Fuyang was 21,708 yuan, per capita disposable income of urban residents 12,866 yuan, per capita consumer expenditure 9,851.65 yuan and per capita net income of farmers 2,683.3 yuan. 3. The Shaying River, located on the left side of the Huai River, is the largest branch of the Huai River. It is originated in the Funiu Mountain Range in Henan Province, formed by the convergence of the Sha and Ying Rivers in Zhoukou City, running through central Henan from northwest to southeast, entering Anhui Province at the Changsheng Stream in Jieshou City, and running from Jieshou City, Taihe County, Fuyang Municipality into the Huai River at Mohekou in Yingshang County, with a full length of 620km and a watershed area of 36,651 km2, in which its length is 206km and its watershed area 4,112 km2 in Anhui Province. 4. According to the Layout Plan of Inland Navigation Channels and Ports (2005— 2020), the Shaying River channel runs from Luohe, Henan to Mohekou, Anhui, with a full length of 378km, planned as a Class IV channel. The Yingshang ship lock and the Taihe Genglou hydraulic complex in Anhui have been completed, and the Fuyang ship lock is under construction. By now, the problem of navigation obstruction from lock and dam on the Shaying River channel has been largely solved. If the channel is further dredged, the stretch below Zhoukou, Henan will be open for navigation. 5. The land acquisition and house demolition work of the Project involves 20 villages/communities in 16 townships/sub-districts of one city (Jieshou), three districts (Yingquan, Yingdong and Yingzhou) and two counties (Taihe and Yingshang). Since impacts of the access roads and construction sites of the channel works, supporting works and bridge works have not been identified yet, villagers or residents of some villages and communities might be affected. This policy framework has been prepared to ensure the interests of these displaced persons.

II. Objectives, principles and terms of policy framework 1. This policy framework for resettlement is prepared in accordance with OP4.12 Involuntary Resettlement in the World Bank Operational Handbook issued in December 2001. The overall objectives are: ‹ Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs ‹ Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons3 should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement

115 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project programs; ‹ Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. 2. This policy framework sets the principles and objectives of resettlement, appropriate guidelines, rights, legal and institutional framework, modes of compensation and restoration, participant profile and grievance redress procedures for resettlement, and is used to guide the compensation, resettlement and restoration of displaced persons, etc. 3. Every resettlement plan shall be based on identifiable basic information collected, and displaced persons shall include the following: ‹ Those whose farmland or rural house together with housing site is affected wholly or partly by the Project (permanent or temporary); ‹ Those whose urban residential house is affected wholly or partly by the Project (permanent or temporary); ‹ Those whose business (enterprise, public institution or store) is affected wholly or partly by the Project (permanent or temporary); ‹ Those whose young crops or ground attachments are affected wholly or partly by the Project (permanent or temporary). ‹ The transition period of resettlement shall be minimized, and restoration measures shall be made available to displaced persons before the expected start-up date; ‹ Acquisition programs for land and other assets, and restoration measures available shall be discussed repeated with displaced persons to ensure minimum disturbance; displaced persons will be empowered before the expected start-up date; ‹ The existing service and resource level of the community shall be maintained or improved; ‹ Whenever or wherever necessary, financial and material resources for resettlement and restoration must be available. The budget in the Resettlement Plan shall include contingencies; ‹ Institutional and organizational arrangements shall ensure that land acquisition and resettlement can be designed, planned, consulted about and implemented effectively and timely. ‹ The implementation of the Resettlement Plan shall be subject to effective and timely supervision and M&E.

III. Preparation of the RAP 4. The Resettlement Plan (including payment of all expenses related to resettlement) shall be prepared and implemented by APSCIG. 5. The Resettlement Plan shall cover the following (if relevant). Items irrelevant with the Project shall be specified in the Resettlement Plan: ¾ General description of the Project; ¾ Identification of potential impacts of the Project; ¾ Objectives (key objectives of the Resettlement Plan); ‹ Socioeconomic research: Such research shall be conducted at the early stage of project preparation, and include potential displaced persons, including survey findings and other descriptions; ‹ Legal framework: analysis findings of the legal framework, including the scope of acquisition power of resettlement agencies and associated nature of compensation, applicable legal and administrative procedures, relevant laws and social welfare legislation, laws and regulations, and necessary legal steps; ‹ Institutional framework: including identification of resettlement agencies and NGOs that may function, evaluation of their institutional capacity, and proposal of any step to strengthen institutional capacity; 116 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project ‹ Eligibility: identification of criteria of displaced persons, and determination of whether they are entitled to compensation and other resettlement assistances as displaced persons; ‹ Valuation and compensation of losses; ‹ Resettlement and restoration measures: description of cash compensation and other resettlement measures; ‹ Selection, preparation and rearrangement of resettlement sites; ‹ Supply of housing, infrastructure and social services; ‹ Environmental protection and management; ‹ Public participation and consultation, where displaced persons and relevant communities must be included; ‹ Integration with local population: measures to alleviate the impact of resettlement on any local community; ‹ Appeal procedures: available procedures for any third party to settle any dispute over resettlement; ‹ Organization and responsibilities; ‹ Implementation schedule; ‹ Cost and budget; ‹ M&E 6. A brief resettlement plan shall at least cover the following: ‹ Detailed survey of displaced persons and assets appraisal; ‹ Description of compensation to be provided and other resettlement assistances; ‹ Communication with displaced persons about acceptable alternatives; ‹ Institutional responsibilities implemented and appeal procedures; ‹ Monitoring and implementation arrangements; ‹ Schedule and budget. 7. The Resettlement Plan shall be completed no later than 6 month before the beginning date of resettlement, and implemented after approval by the executing agency and competent authorities. IV. Institutional and legal framework 8. The legal framework that directs the implementation of the Resettlement Plan is prepared in accordance with the regulations of the PRC, Anhui Province and the Fuyang Municipal Government on land acquisition and house demolition. 9. The main laws, regulations and ordinances of the PRC that are applied to this framework and ensure its legal validity are as follows: Attached Table 14 Policy framework

10. The Resettlement Plan is prepared to ensure that displaced persons have sufficient opportunities to replace their lost properties, and improve or at least restore their income level and standard of living. To realize these objectives, it should be ensured that all displaced persons are identified, and all displaced persons think the remedies set out in the Resettlement Plan are reasonable. In consideration of the main types of impact (e.g., land acquisition and occupation, residential house demolition (including rural and urban) and non-residential house demolition (including enterprise, public institution and store), etc.), the following measures shall usually be taken: 11. Land-expropriated farmers will be entitled to the following compensation and restoration measures: ‹ The remaining collective farmland after land acquisition will be reallocated by the village committee among all collective members. In this case, if partial acquisition of land renders houses or buildings unsafe or functionally lost, such land shall be fully acquired. All displaced persons shall be entitled to the reallocation of land, and benefit from any project invested with collective land compensation fees. ‹ According to the Land Administration Law and relevant laws, where land reallocation is impossible, displaced persons deprived of farmland must be identified. In some cases, paid job opportunities may be offered to them at wages at least equivalent to their lost income. In other cases, displaced persons will at least receive a resettlement subsidy equivalent to 4-6 times the annual average output value of their lost land in the past 3 years. If displaced persons are still unable to restore their former standard of living despite of this, the resettlement subsidy may be increased up to 15 times the annual average output value of the past 3 years; ‹ If land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy are still insufficient to restore displaced persons’ standard of living, the municipal and county governments 118 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project concerned may use income from the compensated use of state-owned land for subsidization; ‹ Land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy shall be paid to the village committee of each affected village or displaced persons, used to (1) increase arable area if land is usable; (2) increase agricultural output by providing irrigation and improving agricultural practices; or (3) develop nonagricultural income based on existing activities. Like fixed assets, lost young crops, fruits and economic forests of displaced persons will be compensated for at replacement cost. ‹ Lost income, young crops, land and infrastructure of displaced persons affected by temporary land occupation will also be compensated for. 12. Demolished houses and attachments will be compensated for and restored as follows: ‹ The village collective reallocates a housing site for resettlement; ‹ Property swap; ‹ Compensation at full replacement cost; ‹ Reconstruction or restoration of all facilities and services (e.g., road, water supply, power, telephone, cable TV and school); ‹ The transition subsidy shall ensure relocation of all properties or acquisition of temporary housing. 13. Proposed compensation rates: According to a preliminary field survey and the policy standard of Fuyang Municipality, possible compensation rates are as follows: ‹ Compensation rates for acquisition of rural collective land: 6-10 times the uniform annual output value of the past 3 years and resettlement subsidy 12-16 times the uniform annual output value of the past 3 years, totaling 28,000-53,000 yuan/mu, and young crop compensation fees 1/2 of the annual average output value of the past 3 years ‹ State-owned land is acquired by allocation. ‹ The compensation rates for temporary occupation of rural collective land are shown in Attached Table 15.

V. Implementation process 14. For all areas involved in the Project, lawful land acquisition approval formalities must be obtained before acquisition and house demolition. 15. Compensation, resettlement and restoration activities shall not begin until all implementing agencies (IAs) have confirmed the Resettlement Plan. 16. The Resettlement Plan shall include a specific implementation schedule for all required activities. If necessary, the payment of compensation fees, restoration measures (in cash or kind) for other rights and resettlement activities shall at least be completed one month before land acquisition. If it is impossible to pay all compensation fees before land acquisition or provide any other necessary form of assistance, an extra transition subsidy will be necessary.

VI. Financial arrangements 17. As described in para. 10, the provincial PMO will assume all land acquisition and resettlement costs. Any resettlement plan consistent with this policy framework must include cost estimates and budget. Whether anyone is identified as a displaced person at the resettlement planning stage, or whether sufficient relief funds are available, all people affected adversely by land acquisition and house demolition will be entitled to compensation or any other appropriate relief measure. For the above reason, the budget in the Resettlement Plan shall include contingencies, which are usually 10% or more of the general resettlement budget to cover unforeseeable resettlement costs. 18. The compensation rates identified in the Resettlement Plan provide a basis for the calculation of resettlement compensation fees. Resettlement compensation fees shall be fully paid to individuals or collectives that lose land or other properties, and shall not be deducted for any reason. The Resettlement Plan shall describe through what procedure compensation fees are paid to displaced persons. A basic principle is funds should flow as directly as possible with minimum intermediate links.

VII. Public participation and information disclosure 19. The Resettlement Plan must describe measures taken or to be taken. The affected people shall be allowed to participate in the proposed resettlement arrangements, and their sense of participation in livelihood improvement or restoration measures strengthened. To ensure that the affected people’s opinions and advice can be fully considered, public participation shall be implemented prior to project design and resettlement relief measures, and must run through the whole process of implementation of the Resettlement Plan and external monitoring. 121 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project 20. At the first and final draft stages of the Resettlement Plan, APSCIG and the implementing agencies shall also disclose the Resettlement Plan to the affected people and the public in certain languages at certain locations in the affected areas.

VIII. Appeal procedures 21. Since the resettlement work is conducted with the participation of the affected people, no substantial dispute will arise. However, to ensure that the affected people have a channel to file an appeal on any issue concerning land acquisition and resettlement, a 5-stage grievance redress mechanism has been established in the Resettlement Plan: ‹ Stage 1: If any displaced person is dissatisfied with the Resettlement Plan, he/she can report this to the village committee or sub-district resettlement office orally or in writing. In case of an oral appeal, the village committee or sub-district resettlement office shall handle such appeal and keep written records. Such appeal should be solved within 2 weeks; ‹ Stage 2: If the displaced person is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the MSA (headquarters) of Fuyang Municipality or any county (including county-level city) thereunder after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 7 days; ‹ Stage 3: If the displaced person is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to the APSCIG after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks; ‹ Stage 4: If the displaced person is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may escalate the appeal to the competent administrative organs in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving such disposition for arbitration. ‹ Stage 5: If the displaced person is still dissatisfied with the arbitration award, he/she may file a suit in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving the arbitration award.

IX. Monitoring and evaluation 22. APSCIG shall supervise and monitor the implementation of the Resettlement Plan. Supervision and monitoring results shall be recorded and put on file for reporting to the superior. 23. Internal monitoring and supervision: ‹ Inspecting performance, including checking baseline information, asset loss or lost appraised value, terms of compensation, and resettlement and restoration rights of all displaced persons according to this policy framework and the Resettlement Plan; ‹ Monitoring whether the Resettlement Plan has been implemented according to the designed and approved program; ‹ Checking whether funds for implementing the Resettlement Plan are disbursed timely and fully, and whether such funds are used in conformity with the Resettlement Plan; ‹ Recording all grievances and solutions, and ensuring that grievances are solved timely. 24. External independent monitoring: An independent agency or individual consultant will be employed to conduct periodic external M&E of the implementation of the Resettlement Plan. Such independent agency or consultant may be an academic or institutional agency, NGO or independent consulting firm that has competent and experienced staff. 122 Resettlement Plan of the World Bank Financed Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project 25. In adaptation to the examination of the submitted internal supervision information and monitoring reports, the external monitoring agency shall perform a sampling survey of 20% of the relocated households within 6 months of implementation of the Resettlement Plan for the purpose of: ¾ Evaluating the participation of displaced persons, disbursement procedure of compensation fees, and whether restoration rights are secured and consistent with the policy framework and the Resettlement Plan; ¾ Evaluating whether the objective of “improving or at least restoring their income level and standard of living” is realized; ¾ Gathering qualitative indicators of socioeconomic impact of the Project on displaced persons; ¾ Proposing advice for improving the implementation procedures of the Resettlement Plan so as to realize the principles and objectives of this policy framework.
