1 General Information of the Project
Introduction of the Project
Henan Province Key Plain &Low Land Improvement Project is funded with loan from the World Bank. The project is aimed to mitigate flood and water-logging disasters and provide favorable conditions for sustainable agriculture and socioeconomic development in the project area through dredging river, repairing embankment, reconstructing, expanding, or repairing and strengthening pumping stations for drainage, flood control sluices and bridges or building new ones, to improve drainage and flood protection standard of rivers and polder areas in the project area.
Origin of the project
The state and four provinces (Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and Shandong) along the Huaihe River have always been devoting much effort to improvement of low-lying land in Huaihe River basin. In 1991, state council made clear that “building drainage system and strengthening embankment in low-lying area and improving flood control and drainage standard” in “Decisions on Further Regulation of Huaihe River and Taihu Lake”. In 2003 extreme flood occurred in Huaihe River basin. At the 24th executive meeting of State Council held in October 2003, the participants discussed and adopted the State Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Water Resources and Ministry of Finance jointly prepared “ Asking for instruction on issues concerning paying close attention to disaster rehabilitation in Huaihe River Basin and speeding up Huaihe River Regulation”, demanding to pay close attention to disaster rehabilitation in Huaihe River Basin and speed up Huaihe River regulation and having defined the target and tasks of Huaihe River regulation. In “The report on Huaihe River Basin Flood Control Plan” worked out in October 2003 and “The Plan for Speeding up Huaihe River Regulation Projects Construciton” (2003-2007) worked out in same year by Huaihe River Conservancy Commission of Ministry of Water Resources, it is emphasized to devote more efforts to strengthen Huaihe River basin key low-lying land regulation and improve flood and water-logging control standard, and 3 new items for speeding up Huaihe River regulation projects construction were increased. After heavy flood in July 2003, Programming and Planning Division of Ministry of Water Resources, and Agroeconomy Division of State Development Reform Commission together with International Cooperation and Science and Technology Division of Ministry of Water Resources and experts and officials of World Bank, Huaihe River Conservancy Commission, water resources department (WRD) of Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and Shandong provinces came to an agreement and planned to use loan of World Bank and carry out Huaihe River key low-lying land improvement project. Henna Provincial Water Resources Department submitted a document to Ministry of Water Resources and Huaihe River Conservancy Commission, demanding to use loan from World Bank to carry out Huaihe River basin Henan Province key low-lying land improvement project.

The Measures for Lessening Project Influence
Project design phase
(1) In project design phase, when optimizing alternatives on the basis of comparison, the designing institutions should try to reduce requisition of land and removal and reduce the negative effects of project implementation on local socio-economy that should be taken as the key factors in comparison and optimizing of the alternatives.
(2) In river dredging, the excavated section should be close to the bank where houses are few.
The measures for construction phase
The project occupied land is in zonal distribution, therefore influence from requisition of land and removal are not great. In order to minimize influence of project construction, layout of construction sites and selection of construction schemes should take into consideration local people’s living and production and avoid unnecessary requisition of land and removal of houses. The measures to be adopted are as follows:
(1) Prior to removal, on-the-spot survey should be made and those houses are not necessary to be removed or partially necessary to be removed should not be removed or only a portion be removed.
(2) Measures should be taken to control dust and reduce construction moises to minimize influences on nearby residential life.
Implementation phase of requisition of land and removal for the project
If requisition of land and removal and resettlement are unavoidable, following measures should be taken to reduce influence of project construction on local people:
7 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan for The First Year (1) Local people’s losses from removal and resettlement should be compensated on the basis of replacement price and in accordance with the principle of construction before removal, the negative effects on relocated residents sould be reduced as much as possible.
(2) Resettles should be settled in original villagers group or the same village, without changing resettles’ surroundings or social connections.
(3) Collection of basic data should be tightened and practical resettlement action plan should be made in accordance with local realities to ensure the people who are affected by the project construction may not suffer the loss from project implementation.
(4) Positively encourage local people to care for the project implementation to carry out information disclosure for accepting supervision from local people.
(5) Strengthen internal and external monitoring, establish high-efficien and unblocked refeed mechanism and channel, shorten information processing period to guarantee that the problems occurred in project implementation could be resolved timely.
(6) In removal and resettlement, local departments concerned should provide effective help to relocated residents to ensure smooth implementation of removal and resettlement to lessen budern and losses of relocated households.

This project, in accordance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations include “Henan Province Implementation of Land Management Law” and newly implemented “Regulations on Compensation for Requisition of Land and Resttlement of Large and Middle Scale Water Conservancy and Hydroelectric Engineering Construction”, based on real conditions of the project area, by consulting compensation standard under implementation for land acquisition of similar projects in Henan, decide that the compensation standard for requisition of cultivated land is 6 times of average annual output value per mu of past 3 years and settlement allowance standard is10 times of average annual output value per mu of past 3 years.
Compensation for younge crops is 0.5 time of average annual output per mu of past 3 years.
Compensation for garden plot and fish ponds is determined by consulting compensation standard of 16 times of garden plot and fish ponds comprehensive output value per mu stipulated in “Resettlement Plan for South-to-North Water Division Mid-Route Phase I Project.”
5.1.2 Unit price of compensation
Main grain crops planted within project affected scope include wheat, corn and soybean and main cash crops inclued cotton and oil bearing crops. Calculation of utput value per mu is made in accordance with Statistics Yearbook 2002-2004 of counties in project affected area. In the first place, average output value per mu of each lowing-lying area in 2002, 2003 and 2004, then average output value value of 2002, 2003 and 2004 are averaged and the average output value of 3 years of each low-lying area are obtained. Finally comprehensive output value per mu of cultivared land in Henan is detemined according to average output value per mu.
According to calculation, average output value per mu of 3 years of low-lying area along Huaihe River is 1127 yuan. Average output value per mu of 3 years of low-lying area in lower reaches of Xiaohong River is 1108 yuan. Average output value per mu of 3 years of low-lying area of Jialu River and Yinghe River downstream is 1153 yuan. Henan Province comprehensive output value per mu is 1126 yuan. Compensation for land acquisition is 18016 yuan per mu. Average output value of fruit land is 1618 per mu, compensation for land acquisition is 25888 yuan per mu as 16 times of Average output value. Average output value of fish pond is 1715 per mu, compensation for land acquisition of fish pond is 27440 yuan per mu as 16 times of Average output value.
Calculation results of unit price of compensation for requisition of land are shown in table 5.1-1.

5.2 Compensation Standard for Temporary Land Occupation
5.2.1 Temporary occupation of collective land
Temporary land occupation under this project is used mainly for dumping spoil from river dredging and construction. In accordance with construction designed plan, duration of temporary land occupation for spoil area and construction layout is one year. Compensation for temporary land occupation includes land loss compensation and subsidy for restoring the cultivation. Land compensation is determined on the basis of annual output value of original land and duration of land occupation, and subsidy for restoring the cultivation is determined according to the actual cost needed for restoring the cultivation.
Duration of temporary land occupation under this project is one year and land compensation standard is calculated according to 1 time of comprehensive output value per mu of Henan.
Restoring the cultivation of temporary spoil area of river dredging include clearing top soil, dumping top soil, land leveling, top soil overlap, construction of field irrigation and drainage systems. According to analysis, per mu investment for restoring the cultivation is 2400 yuan.
Leveling of temporarily occupied land for construction site and restoring the cultivation include: leveling the work site, loosening top soil and building field irrigation and drainage systems. According to analysis per mu investment is 500 yuan.
5.2.2 Temporary occupation of state-owned land
Temporary land occupation of this project does not involve state-owned land.

Because the document of Yuzheng [1989] No.133 “Henan Province Compensation Standard for On-ground Attachments of State Construction Requisitioned Land” has not been revised for many years, compensation standard for houses and attachments is lower. As regards this regulation project compensation standard is determined by consulting similar projects recently reviewed and approved by Water Conservancy Planning Institute under Ministry of Water Resources. The compensation standard is shown in table 5.4-3
Basic facilities: In rural areas compensation standard is 1500yuan per capita, and in urban area is 2500 yuan per capita.
59 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year
6 Schemes for Restoration of Resettlers’ Production and Living
6.1 Resettlement Targets, Principles and Guiding Ideology
6.1.1 Resettlement Targets
Provide reasonable compensation and proper settlement for resettlers and guarantee that projected affected residents’ productive capability, income and living standard could be restored or exceeded after being resettled. On the basis of the living standard of resettlers of project area in 2005, in light of the National Economy and Social Development Plan for the 11th Five-Year Plan Period and Future Target of cities (counties and districts), the resettlement targets are determined as follows:
(1) Basically ensure self-sufficient in grain. In areas with less farmland resources, the aim is, through agricultural structure adjustment, to make best use of land and improve land output;
(2) Positive measures should be taken to guarantee that the annual per capita net income of resettlers could be gradually recovered to the level before resettlement;
(3) Public infrastructure, education, medical treatment, social welfare level, natural environment and traffic conditions should be better than resettlement.
6.1.2 Resettlement principles and guiding ideology
(1) Draft of resettlement plan should take social-economic investigation of project area and index in kind statistics of project influence as the basis and take State and local policy and laws and regulations concerning land acquisition and removal, as well as World Bank’s “Involuntary Resettlement Business Policy OD/BP 4.12 as the principles.
(2) Optimize engineering design, devote more effort to protect cultivated land and try to decrease land acquisition removal affected scope. Try to keep away from densely-populated area, multi-storey of high rise buildings and minimize involuntary resettlement. In construction, convenience-to-people measures should be taken to mitigate disturbance to people.
(3) All the compensation and settlement activities for involuntary resettlers are one component of project construction. Project should timely provide adequate funds to resettlers and have resettlers benefit from the project implementation.
(4) Make sure that the project affected people could get all the compensation and subsidies for the resettlement losses before actual removal. Provide reasonable settlement and effective restoration and provide subsidies and help tothem for overcoming temporary difficulties.
(5) Make sure that the living standard, productive capability and income of all the people affected by the project could be restored to the original level before removal for land acquisition and even higher.
60 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year (6) Compensation for houses and other properties is replacement price, which should not deduct depreciation or other type discount.
(7) This project should provide compensation to all the people and all the buildings in the project area that are negatively affected by the project. For anyone who does not have complete household registration formalities or rental formalities, management formalities are not complete or legal formalities of some buildings are not complete, that should be no excuse for refusing to provide compensation and help.
(8) Resettlers should be paid compensation in removal transient duration and removal period.
(9) Give proper consideration to colony of weak tendancy and help them select houses and assist them in removal.
(10) Provide compensation to property owners of basic facilities for relocation and building new basic facilities and restoring the functions of the basic facilities.
(11) Provide reasonable compensation for the land being requisitioned and corresponding losses. Compensation for land should be owned by rural collective organizations and used for developing collective economy, improving public facilities and settlement of project affected villagers; settlement allowance should be paid to settlement units or individuals who are resettled.
(12) All the compensation and allowance for requisition of land should be fully paid in 3 months from the date when compensation and settlement scheme is approved and the payment should not be later than the date when construction is started on the requisitioned land plot.
(13) Generally the time limit of temporary land use is 2 years. In case that cultivated land is used temporarily, the land users should restore farming conditions of the land in one year upon the expiry of temporary land use. If the temporarily used land is the farmers’ collective land, rural collective economic organization or villager’s committee should represent land owners and sign a contract with user of the land to be temporarily used and collect compensation for temporary land use. Compensation standard for temporary land use should take into account of losses of original land owners and users of the land. When temporarily used land is returned, if the features of land usage or ownership of the land change, land compensation standard should be correspondingly increased, and original users of the land should be properly settled.
(14) All the labour being affected by requisition of land should be resettled and their living standard should not be decreased because of land acquisition. Encourage people being affected by land acquisition to be settled by living on land and support development of secondary industry and tertiary industry. If possible, farmers could select to find jobs by themselves.
(15) Encourage resettlers to participate in working out resettlement plan and implementing settlement, declare and paste up notices on policy and standard of compensation and settlement. Widely listen to the opinions of projecte affected people on compensation and settlement in investigation and reflect their opinions in the report.
(16) Give consideration to complaints of project affected people, timely and reasonably help them overcome difficulties and inconveniences encountered in land acquisition and removal. Resettlers’ objection to compensation standard should be resolved through consultation. If it could not resolved through consultation it could be subject to arbitration and even lawsuit. Any compulsory removal should be implemented in accordance with legal procedures.
61 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year (17) In project implementation period, owner of the project shall carry out internal monitoring on project implementation and invite independent monitoring institution to carry out external monitoring and periodically submit monitoring report to World Bank. After all the activities are completed, assessment on resettlement work should be carried out. (18) In implementation of resettlement plan, if there are important changes (including lowering compensation standard, changing location and scope of land to be requisitioned and increasing new subproject), that should be reported to World Bank beforehand. If necessary, resettlement plan could be revised or implementation plan of resettlement could be prepared.
6.2 Resettlement of Permanent Land Acquisition and Temporary Land Occupation
6.2.1 Analysis on influence of permanent land acquisition and settlement measures.
Project permanent land acquisition involves 7 districts and counties, 15 townships(towns), 30 administrative villages and requisition of rural collective land totals 105.76 mu, including 88.71 mu of cultivated land, 1.40 mu fish ponds, and house sites of 15.65 mu. The cultivated land plots of 30 villages to be requisitioned have all been contracted to individual households, involving 601 persons of 146 households. The house sites to be requistioned permanently involve 2 villages, i.e. Xinliji Village of Huangchuan County and Xingying Village of Huaibin County in Xinyang City.
Permanent land acquisition under this project is mainly used for river regulation and pumping stations construction. Land requisitioned for pumping station is rural house site involves removal of 21 agricultural households and measures for removal and restoration are introduced in section 6.3.
As regards to land acquisition influence rate, because permanent land acquisition is mainly used for river regulation subproject, the influence area is in zonal distribution. According to statistics analysis, quantity of land acquisition is relatively small and number of villages and households being affected is large. If taking villages as calculation unit, cultivated land loss rate of 30 villages to be affected by land acquisition is no more than 1%. As regards land acquisition affected households, on average each household affected by project implementation will decrease land by about 0.61 mu, individual household loss rate is 6.4%; only 12 households’ loss rate by land acquisition is above 20%, the others are all below 20%, as shown in table 6.2-1. Therefore, land acquisition shall not significantly affect agricultural production of the households. After land acquisition for project implementation, in project area per capita cultivated land is 1.58 mu.
62 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year
Table 6.2-1 Analysis on Influence of Land Acquisition
Loss rate of cultivated land Affected items unit 0% 5% 6% 10% 11% 20% >20% Total
Requisition of village 30 30 land ratio % 100% 0 0 0 100
Affected household 5 22 107 12 146 households AHs
ratio % 3.4% 15.1% 73.3% 8.2%
Because average rate of land loss of individual household is 6.4%, therefore agricultural income loss brought about by land acquisition is 6.4% or less than 6.4% of original agricultural income. Moreover, according to socio-economic investigation and analysis hereinabove, most of the manpower of villages are doing temporary work out of villages, thus main income of the villagers are composed of two parts, i.e. farming and taking temporary jobs, of which agricultural income accounts for 60%-70% of the total income. Thus it can be seen that influence of income loss brought about by loss of land on household’s income is minor, accounting for 3.8%-4.5% of the total income of household, that is to say land acquisition of the project shall not bring about signicant influence on farming households’ production and daily life.
According to above analysis, there are tow schemes for making up loss of farmers whose contracted land is requisitioned.
(1) The affected households could get monetary compensation according to compensation rate of water conservancy projects in Henan, based on the quantity of land acquisition, and compensation is directly paid to affected individuals. The compensation could be used for developing other farming and non-agricultural extra-money making activities including cash crops and other sideline production.
At present, on the one hand in China farmers contracting farmland is implemented with contract period of 30 years; on the other hand, according to investigation, a great majority of villages do not have reserve land that could be allocatted by the villages. Based on objective reality, village heads and villagers do not consider it possible to allocate extra land to farmers through reallocation. Moreover, under this project, except a few households, acreage of most households’ farmland being requisitioned is small in acreage, even adopting the principle of compensating same acreage of land, the farmers are not willing to accept the abandoned land that is not only small in acreage but also distant in location. Therefore, they prefer monetary compensation.
(2) Project implementation could decrease degree of reduction of crop output caused by waterlogging and bring about considerable waterlogging control benefit. Moreover, field irrigation and drainage system shall be structured in project affected area to improve farming conditions and farmland productivity, and increase income of project affected households.
63 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year Although acreage of land is reduced yet crops output could increase, therefore farmers could get more income. Based on a guess and estimate, normally rice output could increase by 25% and soybean output could increase 33%, and farming households’ annual income could increase by 320yuan ( On condition that rice yield per mu increase by 100kg, with unit price of 1.4yuan/kg, and soybean yield per mu increase by 50kg with unit price of 3.6 yuan/kg.), that could make up losses brought about by land acquisition.
Moreover, in the process of restoring resettler’s production, resettlement departments shall provide help and support to resettlers as much as possible. The major measures are as follows:
(1) In project implementation period, resettlers should be given priority of opportunity for employment that shall bring cash income to project affected households.
(2) In project affected counties, priority should be given to affected persons in labour export.
(3) The project designed a series of technical consultation and training items to provide agricultural technical training, including cash crops and non-agricultural activities. The project shall invite technical personnels concerned of agricultural department and labour security department to carry out farming and cultivation training in resettlement area, and ensure that every affected household accept at least one agricultural productive technical training and non- agricultural productive technical training, through these measures, to improve crops quality and yield, increase income of affected people and restore livelihood of project affected people.
In site investigation, nearly all the project affected households show enthusiasm for the project and believe that the project implementation could control waterlogging.They prefer monetary compensation for requisition of land. Monetary compensation is simple and easy to implement and rural households could use compensation for restoring production and livelihood.
Influence of land acquisition for project construction on each village is different in degree, therefore restoration plans are different based on influence degree, availability of surplus land resources and wishes of the project affected people. Based on consultation with villagers committee and resettlers in social-economic investigation, different economic restoration plans are prepared. See appendix 4.
6.2.2 Temporary land acquisition analysis and settlement scheme
Project implementation in the first year shall temporarily occupy land of 840.78 mu, including temporary land occupation for construction and spoil from river dredging, of which temporary land occupation for construction is 637.4 mu (40mu in low-lying area along Huaihe River, 575.4mu in low-lying area of Xiaohong River and 22mu in low-lying area of Jialu River and Lower Yinghe River) accounting for 75.8% of total temporary land occupation in the project. 203.38 mu of temporary occupation for dumping spoil from river dredging (63.72mu in low- lying area in Xiaohong River and 139.66mu in low-lying area in Jialu River and Shaying River basin), accounting for 24.2% of total temporary land occupation under the project.
Compensation for temporary land occupation shall be paid according to duration of land occupation with the compensation standard of the total income of agricultural production on the plot of the field. After completion of the project, construction units should implement second ploughing and restore the cultivation conditions of the land to the level before temporary land occupation.
64 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year Second ploughing of spoil area: The project spoil area shall occupy land of 203.38mu, mainly for temporarily dumping spoil form river excavation. Spoil areas are located on both banks of rivers in zonal distribution. The measures for second ploughing of spoil area is land leveling which include clearing topsoil, topsoil dumping, leveling, topsoil covering and field irrigation and drainage system building. According to analysis, investment in second ploughing per mu is 2400yuan.
Temporary land occupation for construction sites: Temporary land occupation for construction sites of this project is 637.4mu, including embankment construction, river dredging and structures construction. The second ploughing measures include leveling construction sites, loosening topsoil, and building field irrigation and drainage system. Per mu farmland needs 500yuan.
6.3 Rural Residential Houses Removal and Settlement
In project implementation in the first year only subproject of low-lying land along the Huaihe River involves removal of residential houses in Xinliji Village of Huangchuan County and Xingying Village of Huaibin County in Xinyang City. Residential houses of 21 rural households should be removed, affecting 117 residents. The removed houses acreage is 2475.6 , including 798.9 of brick-concrete structure, 1405.2 of brick-wood structures, 192 earth-wood structures and other houses of 79.5 . All the removed residential houses shall be reconstructed in the original village. The attached houses (non-residential houses) shall be compensated in money.
To guarantee that the houses settlement plan properly takes into account the wishes of relocated households, resettlement design institutions, which the help of the local governments, held discussions with relocated households, listening to their opinions. All the relocated households decided to remove and rebuild their houses if sites for new houses could be provided. According to real conditions and productive settlement of the project affected area, resettlers shall build new houses in the original villages.
Reconstruction of new houses need house sites of 15.65 mu. Because relocation involved residents of 2 villages are small in number, in on-site investigation the villages and townships (towns) concerned expressed that through coordination in a village or between villages they could provide house sites to relocated households in original villages. Two villages have reserved house sites. Therefore the relocated households could be settled in original villages by means of building new houses on the house sites provided by villagers committees in accordance with plan and standard. Compensation for houses removal and relocation should be paid to relocated households to building new houses in original villagers group or village. Compensation for newly requisitioned house sites shall be managed by villagers committees and used for basic facilities construction according to wishes of villagers after house sites are reallocated. Basic settlement plan is shown in table 6.3 –1.
Relocated households shall take into account improvement of residential conditions in resettlement. Most of relocated households would like, according to their own economic conditions, to spend certain amount of money in houses building to improve housing standard. Therefore resettlers’s housing conditions shall be improved after relocation.
Compensation for houses shall be paid directly to relocated households which shall be provided with help in relocation and restoration. Compensation for houses shall be paid by installments by
65 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year resettlement offices of local governments according to materials preparation and houses building progress of resettlers.
In the light of “Villages and Towns Planning Standard”, based on the real conditions of the villages by the side construction sites and the project, it is determined that under the project the rural resettlers’ per capita comprehensive land use standard for building houses is 60 . To minimize project influence on relocated households, if current house sites of relocated households are larger than the standard, the relocated households shall be allocated the same acreage of house site as the current house sites for building houses. Compensation standard for requisition of land for new house sites is same as the compensation standard for requisition of dry land. After relocation, restttlers shall still live in original village and they could use the existing electric supply and water supply facilities. There is no need to build new schools or hospitals and resettlers could enjoy medical treatment, education and other services provided by original social service system.

6.4 Enterprises, State Institutions, Stores and Shops, Floating Population, Unlicensed Construction and Colony of Weak Tendancy
According to investigation, land acquisition and removal for project implementation in the first year does not involve enterprises, state institutions, stores and shops; There is no floating population to be affected; The project implementation affected scope does not involve unlicensed construction; Among 661 persons of 157 households affected by permanent land acquisition and removal of the project implementation in the first year there is no colony of weak tendancy that needs special consideration.
6.5 Affected Basic Facilities and On-ground Attachments
The affected special facilities and on-ground attachments, after being compensated by the project units to the owners, should be reconstructed.

Appendix IV:
Village level Resettlement Restoration Plan
1 Income and placement recovery plan of Xingying Village, Luji Township, Huaibin County
A brief description
Project impact This village involved permanent requisition and house dismantling and relocation, construction of pumping drainage stations led to permanent land requisition and dismantling and relocation of some houses, impacting a small number of households, causing a small loss of land per household, causing a considerably big number of house dismantling and relocation, and damaging some public facilities, such as roads, river and electric poles.
Priorities in the recovery plan: Distinguish land loss impact, screen out seriously impacted households, formulate practical recovery plan according to impact; Determine methods of dismantling and relocation impacted households for placement and gaining house plots Use of village collective compensation funds, in particular for production development, agricultural development, development of other industries and development of village collective welfare undertakings; Post-mitigation agricultural production benefit and affected households’ life recovery.
Placement objectives Provide reasonable compensation and proper placement to farmers impacted by requisition and dismantling and relocation, ensure that after requisition and dismantling and relocation, displaced persons shall restore or exceed their original production, income and living conditions. According to practical situation of displaced persons in the project area in 2006, the resettlement objectives of the displaced persons are:
(1) Ensure grain self-sufficiency, in response to the fact that the contradiction between people and land is sharp, through structure adjustment of agricultural industries, fully tap the
128 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year potential of land production so as to improve land outputs and ensure not to decrease agricultural income lower due to land reduction. (2) Ensure that post-placement production and living standards can restore or exceed that before requisition and dismantling and relocation (3) Infrastructure, social and economic conditions and ecological environment shall maintain or even exceed the level before requisition and dismantling and relocation.
Restoration Principles Production and income restoration principles (1) Respect will of affected persons, maintain or improve their way of life and traditions (2) Recovery plan takes impact of requisition and house dismantling and relocation as foundation, compensation and subsidy standards as basis; (3) Recovery plan should combine with village group construction, resource development, economic development and eco-environmental protection so as to realize sustainable development of impacted village groups; (4) Ensure to improve living standards of the vulnerable with adverse impact of the project.
House Restoration Principles
(1) Affected households can select house reconstruction methods, such as self-construction according to overall plan, overall dismantling and relocation and construction and self- dismantling and self-construction, new house construction sites are to be agreed on by the village committee and households impacted by dismantling and relocation under the guidance of the township government;
(2) Arrange house sites for new house construction in accordance with state regulations free of charge and provide relocation costs;
(3) Time of reconstruction of houses of farmers impacted by dismantling and relocation is about 2-3 months. New houses will be constructed by farmers themselves and the farmers can have their original house building materials free of charge, which should not be deducted from compensation fees;
(4) House dismantling and relocation compensation fees must be paid to the farmers before house dismantling and relocation for their new house construction. The district (county) (resettlement) project management office shall open a new bank account (deposit book) for each farmer impacted by dismantling and relocation, remit full dismantling and relocation compensation fees to their deposit book in a one-off way for their use by stages according to new house building progress, and unfreeze it after completion of relocation (10% of house compensation fee is frozen to ensure timely house construction and relocation of farmers).
(5) When farmers impacted by dismantling and relocation reconstruct their houses, if they need to expand living area or improve quality of housing, they should bear the additional costs by themselves; the farmer should decide whether to expand house area or improve house quality by themselves according to their economic ability.
(6) In house reconstruction and relocation process, the district (county) project management office, township government and village committee shall provide assistance to farmers in difficulty.

It has a plow-land of 2550mu, a per capita plow-land of 0.9mu, a per capita net income of 1200 Yuan. Belonging to a village in flood (beyond the polder built), it had had zero autumn yield for 3 consecutive years. This village has 752 laborers work in other places all the year round and return home to work in the field in the busy farming season. This village has a total production value of 3.40 million Yuan including an agricultural total production value of 2.10 million Yuan, a tertiary industry (mainly referring to outward working) production value of 1.30 million Yuan. The main agricultural crops include corn, peanuts, rice and wheat.

(3) Other impact analysis Xingying Village main road relies on gravel highways along the Huaihe river banks, connecting Luji Township Highway. This highway is higher than neighboring villages and farming areas, funded by villagers and shoulder the whole village human travel, production and domestic product transport. In the construction of drainage pump works, highway disruptions will seriously impact the lives of the people of this village and their agricultural production, which must be fully addressed. Meanwhile, dike reinforcement project should consider road construction so as to ensure and improve this village human travel.
Consultation process (1) In December 2005, water conservancy (affairs) bureaus of project involved counties, town governments, village committees, sent personnel to survey the project requisition, dismantling and relocation impact indicators. (2) On January 15, 2006, Huaibin County Water Conservancy (Affairs) Bureau published findings with the form of notice of publicity at Xingying Village, and determined compensation deadline, namely, January 18, 2006 ~ January 20, 2006, and rechecked some objects in dispute. (3) January 20 to 25, 2006, report drafters and Huaibin County Water Conservancy (Affairs) Bureau repeatedly sent personnel to Xingying Village to convene forum attended by village, group leaders and representative of displaced persons, or adopt. random interviews, on the one hand publicizing existing national, provincial, municipal resettlement policies sand World Bank policies, on the other hand seeking for their opinions and suggestion for project construction and resettlement plan including site selection, production restoration measures, house requisition, dismantling and relocation and relocation compensation. (4) February 6~15, 2006, report drafters, cooperated by Huaibin County Water Conservancy (Affairs) Bureau, announced resettlement policies and compensation standards to displaced persons at Xingying Village, sought for their opinions, and made revision and improvement for resettlement report. (5) On August 26, 2006, with participation of personnel from Resettlement Research Center of Hohai University, responsible personnel at municipal, county and township levels discussed with leaders and affected persons of Xingying Village, conducted additional investigations about resettlement households’ background and will. (See Annex 3)
Rehabilitation measures (1) Income restoration measures Through investigation and analysis, and consultations with affected villages and groups, the following measures should be taken to restore income:
Measure 1: monetary compensation, strictly in accordance with compensation standards and impacted area, timely pay compensation fees to the affected villages and displaced households
134 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year through the project management offices. According to the survey and previous project experience, farmers would use compensation funds (a) to engage in secondary and tertiary industries (b) to work outward (c) adjust the industrial structure, or use remaining land to develop family economy (d) purchase insurance or others. Reasoning indicates that reasonable use of compensation funds can restore farmers’ income level.
Measure 2: agricultural infrastructure reform; Village collective will use a part of compensation funds to reform field irrigation facilities, and improve irrigation, drainage and other agricultural production conditions, and improve crop yields, indirectly increase farmers’ income and improve their living standards.
Measure 3 planting structure adjustment; According to the market demand and local agricultural production conditions, select economic crops, have village collective engage agricultural technical service station personnel to conduct field guide and help farmers to gradually change planting structure, cultivate crops with high economic growth so as to increase agricultural income.
Measure 4: strengthen labor service. World Bank Project Management Office of Water Resources Department of Henan Province and Water Resources Bureau of Xinyang City would urge the affected counties (districts) to give priority to the affected persons in labor services, help displaced persons work outward and increase non-farm income.
Measure 5: benefit from mitigation measures In recent years, this village has suffered flood almost every year, making the masses deeply affected by waterlog disaster. According to village committee’s preliminary statistics, on the average, 20% of the corn fields had zero yield, resulting in heavy loses to the farmers. Table 1-7 analyzed agricultural income increased value impact after the project implementation.

(2) Risk and risk prevention In Xingying village requisition and dismantling and relocation process, since village (group) and farmers were less impacted, the standards for compensation was proper, compensation funds were ensured, and income recovery plan was feasible. Therefore, requisition and dismantling and relocation faced less risk.
To ensure requisition and dismantling and relocation to proceed smoothly, avoid opaque distribution of requisition dismantling and relocation compensation funds in its management and utilization, it is necessary to make village collective affairs public and requisition and dismantling and relocation impacted persons supervise the use of compensation funds.
(3) Farmers’ dwelling house restoration
135 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year The project impacted 10 household, involving an area of 1013.5 m2. Houses were of structures of brick and tile, brick-concrete and earth and wood. House reconstruction methods, based on consultations, adopted self-construction according to overall plan, disperse arrangement and self- dismantling and self-construction. The project made compensation according to costs of brick and tile structure housing, brick-concrete structure housing and earth and wood structure housing. At the same time, district and township governments’ relevant departments and village committees provided help in house site approval, house site leveling and water, electricity, road construction. If farmers expected to improve the quality of housing or expand housing area, it was necessary for them to solve their own household expenses. Compensation funds could be in place in time, farmers made full preparation before building, village committees coordinated sources of scattered sites, house reconstruction ability was strong, guaranteeing dismantling and relocation to be carried out smoothly.
(4) Infrastructure rehabilitation In this land requisition, dismantling and relocation, affected infrastructure mainly referred to gravel highways along the river banks constructed by the farmers themselves, was directly reconstructed by the builders in embankment reinforcement works. Considering expectation from villagers for “appropriate widening and improvement”, builders, constructors and village committee will properly arrange road construction through proper consultation.

2.3.5 Rehabilitation measures (1) Income restoration measures Through investigation and analysis, and consultations with affected villages and groups, the following measures should be taken to restore income: Measure 1: monetary compensation, strictly in accordance with compensation standards and impacted area, timely pay compensation fees to the affected villages and displaced households through the project management offices. Measure 2: agricultural infrastructure reform; Village collective will use a part of compensation funds to reform field irrigation facilities, and improve irrigation, drainage and other agricultural production conditions, and improve crop yields, indirectly increase farmers’ income and improve their living standards. Measure 3 planting structure adjustment; According to the market demand and local agricultural production conditions, select economic crops, have village collective engage agricultural technical service station personnel to conduct field guide and help farmers to gradually change planting structure, cultivate crops with high economic growth so as to increase agricultural income. Measure 4: strengthen labor service. The World Bank Project Management Office of Water Resources Department of Henan Province and Water Resources Bureau of Xinyang City would urge the affected counties (districts) to give priority to the affected persons in labor services, help displaced persons work outward and increase non-farm income.

(2) Risk and risk prevention
148 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year In Xinliji village acquisition and dismantling and relocation process, since village (group) and farmers were less impacted, the standards for compensation was proper, compensation funds were ensured, and income recovery plan was feasible. Therefore, acquisition and dismantling and relocation faced less risk. To ensure acquisition and dismantling and relocation to proceed smoothly, avoid opaque distribution of acquisition dismantling and relocation compensation funds in its management and utilization, it is necessary to make village collective affairs public and acquisition and dismantling and relocation impacted persons supervise the use of compensation funds.
(3) Farmers’ dwelling house restoration The project impacted 11 household, involving an area of 1,432.95 . Houses were of structures of brick and tile, brick-concrete and earth and wood. House reconstruction methods, based on consultations, adopted self-construction according to overall plan, disperse arrangement and self- dismantling and self-construction. The project made compensation according to costs of brick and tile structure housing, brick-concrete structure housing and earth and wood structure housing. At the same time, district and township governments’ relevant departments and village committees provided help in house site approval, house site leveling and water, electricity, road construction. If farmers expected to improve the quality of housing or expand housing area, it was necessary for them to solve their own household expenses. Compensation funds could be in place in time, farmers made full preparation before building, village committees coordinated sources of scattered sites, house reconstruction ability was strong, guaranteeing dismantling and relocation to be carried out smoothly.
(4) Infrastructure rehabilitation In this land acquisition, dismantling and relocation, affected infrastructure mainly referred to gravel highways along the river banks constructed by the farmers themselves, was directly reconstructed by the builders in embankment reinforcement works. Considering expectation from villagers for “appropriate widening and improvement”, builders, constructors and village committee will properly arrange road construction through proper consultation.

9.3.4 Consultation process Time: morning of August 28, 2006 Venue: Meeting Office of Qihai Township, Shangcai County Theme of the meeting: opinion seeking meeting for permanent acquisition compensation standards of Key Low-Land Control Project Participants: Water Resources Bureau, Land Resources Bureau, acquisition impacted group villagers and village leaders.
First, the responsible person of County Water Resources Bureau made a brief description of this project background, village leaders introduced this project in terms of resettlement funds and placement plan. In implementation process, the management of funds should be carried out publicly, the township government and village would only play a coordinating and service role. Secretary of the village introduced this village’s social and economic situation. In the course of discussion, village committee leaders and representatives of villager agreed that: the project construction was necessary, able to solve the problem of frequent floods this village faced for a long time, important to stabilizing agricultural production and increasing income; The whole village would provide full support to the project implementation; some villagers put forward some useful suggestions for construction, acquisition , dismantling and relocation; villagers were eager to speak, providing acquisition , dismantling and relocation and income recovery plans with a wealth of information. Individual villagers requested that the compensation standards and land compensation should refer to the state current policy, relevant regulations and standards, and realize them in time. In the course of conversation, the investigators made a comprehensive and detailed inquiry of the impacted villages and groups, including population, plow-land, production value, agricultural planting structure, input and output of crops, damages and placement plans. Then, investigators went to project location and investigated the impacted households, including their family members, plow-land, income, expenses and understanding.
9.3.5 Rehabilitation measures (1) Income restoration measures After investigation and analysis, and consultations with displaced persons, impacted village and group should take the following measures to restore the income: Measure 1: monetary compensation, strictly in accordance with compensation standards and impacted area, timely pay compensation fees to the affected villages and displaced households through the project management offices. Measure 2: planting structure adjustment; According to the market demand and local agricultural production conditions, select economic crops, have village collective engage agricultural technical service station personnel to conduct field guide and help farmers to gradually change planting structure, cultivate crops with high economic growth so as to increase agricultural income. Measure 3: labor service; The World Bank Project Management Office of Water Resources Department of Henan Province and Water Resources Bureau of Shangcai County would urge the
160 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year affected counties (districts) to give priority to the affected persons in labor services, help displaced persons work outward and increase non-farm income. Measure 4: benefit from mitigation measures In recent years, this village has suffered flood almost every year, making the masses deeply affected by waterlog disaster. According to village committee’s preliminary statistics, on the average, 60% of the wheat fields had zero yield, resulting in heavy loses to the farmers. Table 9- 6 analyzed agricultural income increased value impact after the project implementation.

(2) Reasoning income recovery After obtaining compensation funds, the resettlement households generally use them to:
(a) To engage in secondary and tertiary industries, such as opening a shop, or establishing a factory. In the village, as a result of traffic, it is not convenient for villagers to go shopping. Some people will to open their own shops, sell daily necessities, to facilitate villagers and at the same time increase their income. Such a shop needs a startup fund of several thousand Yuan. In watercourse project, each household is very slightly impacted and the compensation funds will be around 10,000 Yuan, suitable for such a shop. According to the survey, about 20% of the affected households will use compensation funds to open small shops. They will have a monthly income of about 200 ~ 300 Yuan. Generally, after completion of the project, they will have their income restored. (b) To work outward. In this area, many young laborers are currently working away from home. Some, however, in order to save transport costs or living in poverty and often choose to work in the seat of Shangcai County or Zhumadian City. With the compensation funds, they can choose to go a bit farther places such as Wuhan and even the coastal areas like Guangdong, There are more job opportunities, and a higher income. For example, the same wage in a restaurant in Shangcai County or Zhumadian City, the wage is about 600 ~ 800 Yuan/month. In Wuhan, it is 800 ~ 1,000 Yuan/month, in Guangdong and other coastal areas it is even higher. Obviously, their income can be increased by at least 200 Yuan/month. According to the survey, About 40% of the affected households will choose to work in other places to increase income. (c) Adjust the industrial structure, or use remaining land to develop family economy. In the area, agricultural income is still the main income source. The project acquisitioned land is generally along watercourses, which is of poor quality, featuring inconvenient farming and lower yield. And, as the land related to every household is very small. Their agricultural loss is relatively small. At the same time, farmers can use the compensation funds to improve and adjust the remaining better land, which is easier to be focused and facilitate cultivation. According to estimate, through planting structure adjustment, per mu income will be increase by at least 200 Yuan.
161 Henan Province Resettlement Action Plan For The Firsr Year (d) Purchase insurance or others. About 10% of villagers, in the absence of clear objectives, will have their compensation funds temporarily deposited in a bank or buy insurance to ensure their income. In case of depositing the funds in a bank, per mu compensation funds will bring about an annual interest of about 600 Yuan / month. Therefore, implementation and experience of previous projects proofs, through the implementation of the above measures, it is possible to guarantee affected farmers to have their income meet or exceed that before acquisition .
(3) Risk and risk prevention In Liuqiao village acquisition and dismantling and relocation process, since village (group) and farmers were less impacted, the standards for compensation was proper, compensation funds were ensured, and income recovery plan was feasible. Therefore, acquisition and dismantling and relocation faced less risk. To ensure acquisition and dismantling and relocation to proceed smoothly, avoid opaque distribution of acquisition dismantling and relocation compensation funds in its management and utilization, it is necessary to make village collective affairs public and acquisition and dismantling and relocation impacted persons supervise the use of compensation funds.

A brief description
Project impact: main impact of this project over this village was permanent requisition, involving in total 5 households, 23 residents. This project had a little amount of land requisition and therefore the impact over this village was slight, and did not involve any house dismantling or relocation.
Priorities in the recovery plan: Distinguish land loss impact, screen out seriously impacted households, formulate practical recovery plan according to impact; Directly provided compensation funds to the farmers; Post-mitigation agricultural production was benefited.
Placement objectives Provide reasonable compensation and proper placement to farmers impacted by requisition and dismantling and relocation, ensure that after requisition and dismantling and relocation, displaced persons shall restore or exceed their original production, income and living conditions. According to practical situation of displaced persons in the project area in 2006, the resettlement objectives of the displaced persons are:
(1) Ensure grain self-sufficiency, in response to the fact that the contradiction between people and land is sharp, through structure adjustment of agricultural industries and fully tap the potential of land production so as to improve land outputs. (2) Ensure that post-placement production and living standards can restore or exceed that before requisition and dismantling and relocation (3) Infrastructure, social and economic conditions and ecological environment shall maintain or even exceed the level before requisition and dismantling and relocation.
Restoration Principles
1.1.1 Production and income restoration principles (1) Respect will of affected persons, maintain or improve their way of life and traditions (2)Recovery plan takes impact of requisition and house dismantling and relocation as foundation, compensation and subsidy standards as basis; (3) Recovery plan should combine with village group construction, resource development, economic development and eco-environmental protection so as to realize sustainable development of impacted village groups; (4) Ensure to improve living standards of the vulnerable with adverse impact of the project.
