Executive Summary

Muyu Reservoir was constructed in May1958. In July1960, the main engineering works were finished and started to store water and produced benefit. Since Muyu Reservoir was built during the period of Great Leap Forward, there are many serious safety problems of the dam, spillway, and diversion tunnel. Therefore, it is urgent to carry on the risk mitigation and strengthening and reinforcement of Muyu Dam and Reservoir, eliminate all kinds of dangers in the project in order to make it operate normally, and perform its proper economic benefits and social benefits of flood prevention, irrigation, the urban water supply and so on.

Based on the field survey for Construction Map Design (CMD), no inundation impacts are caused by the Project. However, the land requisition of the flood control road with the length of 470m will acquire 15.2 mu land permanently, including 2.6 mu orchard and slope wasteland 12.6 mu. The slope wasteland is the collective owned land of Muyu Village. The permanent land acquisition of 2.6 mu of orchard will affect 11 households with 41 persons. The other engineering construction organization activities are all within the scope of reservoir management and only affects the ground attachment of some lotus trees owned by the Reservoir Administration Bureau. The total cost for land acquisition and resettlement is CNY 222,189.

According to the “Notice on the Adjustment of Land occupying Annual Production And Compensation Standard, which is forwarded by General Office of Shandong Provincial People’s Government, and issued by Shandong Province People's government Office” Luzhengbanfa [2004] No.51, project influenced area, Laiyang, belongs to the third-class areas. The Annual Average Output Value (AAOV) of the third-class area is 1,400 Yuan per mu. Land compensation for farmland is 10 times of AAOV, and resettlement subsidy for farmland is 6 times of AAOV. So the total farmland compensation standard is 22,400 Yuan/Mu. Land compensation for wasteland is 4,200 Yuan/Mu, i.e. 3 times of AAOV.

According to the field interview, all affected households prefer cash payment and most of them plan to use the compensation in 3 ways as follows: i) Purchasing irrigation facilities including pumping and water transferring tubes, to increase the output of crops and orchards through improvement the irrigation conditions; ii) Improving the fruit species and growing Chinese chestnut on ditch side to increase the income; and iii) Improving living environment by concreting the house yard or decorate house. The construction of flood control road will acquire 12.6 mu slope waste land owned by Muyu Village collective. Through the discussion with the village committee and villager representatives, the village plan to improve the village road. The road is 300 m long and 3.5 m wide. The investment of improvement of the road, including road concreting will be 48,300 yuan.

The APs have participated in the planning process and their concerns have been integrated into the RP. The draft RP was distributed to the affected village in December 2009. In accordance with ADB’s public communications policy, the draft RP will be posted on the ADB website prior to loan appraisal. An effective and transparent channel for lodging complaints and grievances has been established, and relevant institutions shall accept the complaints and grievances lodged by the APs free of charge. The reasonable costs incurred shall be covered by the contingency of the project.

In order to implement RP successfully and achieve the goals of resettlement, the implementation of RP will be subject to internal and external monitoring according to ADB resettlement policies. The external monitoring and evaluation will be done by an independent monitoring agency (IMA). The external monitoring and evaluation institution shall undertake regular monitoring and evaluation of the resettlement implementation activities and provide necessary consultative proposals.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background

1. Muyu Reservoir is located on the midstream and downstream of Xian River, a branch of Wulong River, 9 km northeast of Laiyang City, Shandong Province. It covers 455km2 of control catchment area, with a total capacity of 189.4 million m3 and engineering grade-II. Graded Large (2), the reservoir is a multipurpose reservoir that mainly serves for the purpose of flood prevention and is also involved in irrigation, water supply for city, power generation and aquaculture. The geographical position is important and the social and economic profits are remarkable. Downstream flood prevention protects a population of 400,000 villages, towns and the urban area of Laiyang along the river, more than 500 industrial enterprises, 60,000 mu cultivated lands as well as Lanyan Railroad, Yanqing Road and other important infrastructure facilities.

2. Muyu Reservoir was constructed in May1958. In July1960, the main engineering works were finished and started to store water and produced benefit. The construction of the reservoir inundated 44 villages and farmland of 42,070 mu. Totally 2,225 households or 10,748 persons were involved in resettlement, of which 2,172 households or 10,482 persons were relocated within Laiyang City and 53 households or 266 persons were moved to Liaoning Province. Based on the “Shandong Rural Resettlers Registration and Ratification Method of Large and Medium-sized Reservoirs”, in 2006 the total resettlers are 14,927 persons from 5,069 households1 in 7 townships. The details of resettlement information is presented in Table 1-1.

3. Since Muyu Reservoir was built during the period of Great Leap Forward, the project was under the abnormal state that planning, designing, and constructing were conducted simultaneously, so the standard of engineering construction is somewhat low and the quality of construction is bad. There are many serious safety problems of the dam, spillway, and diversion tunnel. A series of unexpected safety problems occurred in service, which mainly includes: after the completion of dam, there are longitudinal cracks on the top of dam; transition part of west (right) drainage tunnel is scoured; concretes of the dam body cracked; shaft inclines and wall cracks; there are rock breaking and serious weathering on the base and both banks of the auxiliary spillway entrance; oil pressure hoist machine does not work on the east (left) drainage tunnel and the gate leaks. In December 2004, according to the Ministry of Water Conservancy Reservoir Dam Safety Evaluation Method, the Department of Water Conservancy of Shandong, safety evaluation on Muyu Reservoir was performed. The reservoir is judged as grade-Ⅲ dilapidated reservoir, and in December 2005, this result was

checked by Dam Safety Management Center under Ministry of Water Conservancy. Figure 1-1 is the sketch map of Muyu Reservoir.

4. The downstream of Muyu Reservoir protects not only some important infrastructure facilities, such as Lanyan Railroad, Yanqing Road and so on, but also lives and properties of 400,000 persons in villages and towns along the river and Laiyang City as well as more than 60,000 mu cultivated lands resources. At the same time, the reservoir also has the tasks of supplying water to Laiyang City and irrigation fields, for which it plays the important role in the development of Laiyang's industry and agriculture. There are some safety dangers in the project and it cannot operate normally, and thus it cannot perform its proper social benefits and economic benefits. Therefore, it is urgent to carry on the risk mitigation and strengthening and reinforcement of Muyu Dam and Reservoir, eliminate all kinds of dangers in the project in order to make it operate normally, and perform its proper economic benefits and social benefits of flood prevention, irrigation, the urban water supply and so on. At the same time, it can maximally safeguard life and property of people on downstream. After the risk mitigation and strengthening of the reservoir, it will promote the sustainable development of local economy, improve the local water condition and investment environment, and safeguard society's stability and unity.

1.2 Project Description

5. Aiming at the safety problems of Muyu dam and reservoir, the risk mitigation and strengthening project mainly includes: anti-seepage treatment to the dam foundation and dam body, filling the sag and ploughing-compression of the upstream shell, overhauling the upstream revetment, transforming and consolidating dam crest; reconstructing the original unconventional spillways and building sluices, blocking off the original primary spillway, consolidating and eliminating risks of the east and west outlets and lying pipes under the dam, and improving project observation facility as well as other project management facilities.

6. The overall risk mitigation works was divided into 2 phases. The first phase started in December 2008, including anti-seepage treatment to dam foundation and dam body, transforming and consolidating dam crest; reconstructing the original unconventional spillways and building sluices, blocking off the original primary spillway. The total investment is CNY29.57 million and CNY21.08 million has been completed. The above-mentioned engineering works and corresponding construction activities were implemented on unused land within the existing reservoir management scope, so no land acquisition or temporary land use impacts were involved. Figures 1-2 and 1-3 show theconstruction material area of the ongoing works and the spillway excavation. The other parts of the engineering works were followed into the 2nd phase, referred as the Project.

7. The Project is planned to start in March 2010 and be completed in March 2011; project construction period is 12 months. The Project construction will necessitate permanent land acquisition. To mitigate the impacts, the short resettlement plan (RP) has been prepared by Shandong Water Resources Surveying and Design Institute on behalf of Muyu Reservoir Management Bureau in line with the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Involuntary Resettlement Policy (1995) and the relevant laws, regulations and guidelines issued by the governments of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Shandong Province.

2. IMPACTS OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

2.1 Measures Taken to Avoid or Minimize LAR Impacts

8. In order to avoid or reduce LAR impacts to the minimum, engineering alternatives have been carefully reviewed and the optimal option has been adopted during the Project design phase. All engineering works except the flood control road will be implemented within the reservoir management property and has no negative impacts on people’s lives. At the same time, various compensation measures are prepared for affected persons who are unavoidably affected by land acquisition for the road. During the construction phase, a reasonable construction plan has been formed before the start of construction, and the construction sites should be strictly controlled within the scope of red line and awareness of responsibilities for construction workers should be raised to minimize the land acquisition and resettlement.

2.2 Physical Indices Survey

9. The physical indices survey was conducted based on Specifications on Land Requisition and Resettlement Design for Construction of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering (SL290-2003) in December 2008. As per the engineering CDM and the scope of land acquisition and occupation, the detailed investigation of each physical index in engineering construction land acquisition scope was measured and recorded on August 12-22, 2009. The participants in survey include staff of Muyu Reservoir Management Bureau, the Design Institute, Heluo town government and involved Muyu Village.

2.3 Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

10. The project will acquire 15.2 mu land including 2.6 mu of orchard land and 12.6 mu of slope wasteland. The 12.6 mu slope wasteland is owned by Muyu village of Heluo Township of Laiyang City. 2.6 mu of orchard is contracted by 11 households with 41 persons of Muyu Village. Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 provide the details of impact of permanent land acquisition. The land loss of all affected households is less than 10% and the average land loss is 7% among the 11 affected households. The accurate land and income loss of each household caused by land acquisition will be decided after the designation of the construction red line. The average income loss associated with the land loss is CNY462, accounting for 6.6% of the total income. No vulnerable people will be affected. Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 show the orchard and wasteland to be affected in Muyu Village.

12. Muyu Reservoir is located in mountainous area surrounded by waste hills with deep slopes (greater than 25 gradient), which is not suitable for farming. Moreover, Muyu Reservoir is the only water source for domestic water supply in Laiyang City. Based on the “Muyu Reservoir Management and Protection Method” issued by Laiyang City Government (Laizhengfa [1996] No.26), it is prohibited to farm land and graze within reservoir management scope in order to protect water quality. The reservoir management scope includes: i) reservoir area below utilization benefit level; ii) dam protection area including 200m beyond the foot of dam slope; iii) embankment protection area including 10m beyond foot of Xian River embankment; iv) channel protection area including 4m beyond the foot of the main canal slope; and v) water conservancy structures protection area including 50m beyond the side line of the main structures. There are no crops being grown within the drawdown zone, so there will be no impact when the reservoir is filled to its originally designed full storage level.

13. According to the field investigation, all the affected persons are Han (i.e., no ethnic minority people) and there are no vulnerable persons affected by this project.

Public Opinion Survey 23. A public opinion survey of 11 households was conducted. The results indicate that all of them support the Project, and think the Project can bring benefits to the county, collectives and individuals, because the villagers can use the flood control road for travelling. All or 100% of them think that the compensation for permanent land acquisition should be paid to the APs and village collectives in cash, 96% of them are satisfied with the compensation standards, 4% are not very satisfied, 93% of them have some knowledge about the land administration law, 7 of them are not familiar with the law, and 92% know the policy about land acquisition and resettlement, and 8% of them don’t know the policy. Please see Table 3-4 for the detailed information of public opinion survey. As the survey was carried out before series of public participation and consultation activities, a small proportion of the APs are not very satisfied

10

with the compensation standards, are not familiar with the land administration law, and don’t know the policy about land acquisition and resettlement. Based on the facts, meetings with the APs have been organized to inform them on their rights and options and to increase their awareness of the LAR policy, laws, regulations and standards. As a result, the awareness of the APs has been increased than before and they are in favour of the suggested approaches.

25. The primary objective of the LAR program is to ensure that the APs will improve their standards of living, or at least will not be made worse off because of the Project. The principles of the compensation and entitlements established for the Project are as follows: (i) Compensation and entitlements provided must be adequate to allow APs to at least maintain their pre project standard of living, with the prospect of improvement; (ii) Compensation and entitlements provided are based on market value or replacement value and must be adequate; (iii) Compensation should not be paid to those people who occupy land or construct structures and auxiliaries in the project area after cut-off date determined by the local government; (iv) Adequate compensation should be provided to the APs timely; (vi) All the APs will be adequately informed about eligibility, compensation rates and standards, livelihood and income restoration plans and project timing; and (vii) Close monitoring and timely actions will be carried out to identify and resolve any problems.

4.3 Eligibility of Compensation

26. The Project APs who are entitled to receive compensation from the Project refer to the persons affected by the involuntary taking of land resulting in: (i) permanent loss of land or

12

access to land; (ii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location; and (iii) loss of ground attachments and standing crops.

27. All landowners and users in the Project areas affected by land acquisition and resettlement as a consequence of the Project will be eligible for fair compensation and rehabilitation according to the type of loss and quantities as well as the cut-off date determined by the government within the completion date of the construction map and investigation. The newly cultivated land and newly built houses shall not be compensated after the cut-off date on August 12, 2009

4.4 Compensation Standards

4.4.1 Compensation Standards for Permanent Land Acquisition

28. According to the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Implementation Regulations of Shandong Province for the PRC Land Administration Law, the compensation standard for land acquisition is determined in coordination with villages whose land is to be acquired. According to the “Notice on the Adjustment of Land occupying Annual Production and Compensation Standard, which is forwarded by General Office of Shandong Provincial People’s Government, and issued by Shandong Province People's government Office” Luzhengbanfa [2004] No.51, project influenced area, Laiyang, belongs to the third-class areas. The Annual Average Output Value (AAOV) of the third-class area is 1,400 Yuan per mu.

29. Land compensation for farmland is 10 times of AAOV, and resettlement subsidy for farmland is 6 times of AAOV. So the total farmland compensation standard is 22,400 Yuan/Mu. Land compensation for wasteland is 3 times of AAOV. The waste land compensation standard is 4,200 Yuan/mu. For details see Table 4-1.

4.4.2 Compensation Standards for Attachments

30. Affected ground attachments and infrastructure will be compensated for based on replacement cost. For details see Table 4-2.

Table 4-2 Compensation Standards for Attachments Item Unit Compensation Rate (CNY) Fruit Trees No. 200 Lotus Trees (transplant) No. 100

4.5 Entitlement

31. For the losses associated with land acquisition of the Project, the entitlement matrix has been prepared as a guide to compensation payments, which is presented in Table 4-3. The compensation fees for land acquisition will be directly paid to the land owners or users at all levels before implementation of land acquisition. According to the “Land Administration Law of

13

PRC”, the farmland is owned by village collective. The land lease contract was signed in 1989 between the village collective and villagers and will be effective for 30 years. After the expiration of the contract in 2019, all contracted farmland will be readjusted among villagers. After consultation with the APs and village representatives, it has been agreed that 100% of orchard land compensation will be paid to the affected households. Slope wasteland compensation will be paid to the village collective. All compensation fees for fruit trees will be paid to affected persons. The compensation for affected lotus trees will be paid directly to reservoir administration bureau. The APs have accepted these rates and the entitlements.

32. With the compensation payment, slope wasteland compensation fees will be used by the village collective to improve village infrastructures (roads, irrigation system or power services facilities). APs will use the payment to buy irrigation facilities, improve tree species to increase their income and concreting yard to beautify living environment. with remaining money left.

5. REHABILITATION MEASURES

5.1 Objectives of Resettlement

33. The objective of resettlement is to compile a resettlement and rehabilitation action plan for APs to ensure their living standard can be improved or at least recovered to the former level after project construction.

5.2 Rehabilitation Plan for Permanent Land Acquisition

5.2.1 Rehabilitation Plan for Affected Households

34. In Muyu Village, 11 households will be affected by land acquisition of 2.6 mu orchard due to the construction of flood control road. Based on the compensation policy and standards, the land compensation of orchard will be 58,240 yuan and fruit trees will be 56,000 yuan in total. The total compensation will be 114,240 yuan for the affected households. According to the field interview, all affected households prefer cash payment and most of them plan to use the compensation in 3 ways as follows: i) Purchasing irrigation facilities including pumping and water transferring tubes, to increase the output of crops and orchards through improvement the irrigation conditions; 5 households will purchase pumps with the total investment of 13,500 yuan. 9 households will invest 21,600 yuan to buy irrigation tubes and fittings. ii) Improving the fruit species and growing Chinese chestnut on ditch side to increase the income; it is estimated the total budget will be 51,800 yuan. iii) Improving living environment by concreting the house yard or decorate house. It is estimated the cost will be 19,320 yuan.

35. The detailed arrangement of the compensation for rehabilitation measures is presented in Table 5-1. Since the compensation to each household will vary according to the actual land acquisition area which will be decided after the designation of the construction red line, the detailed plan will be carried out based on the actual situation.

5.2.2 Rehabilitation Measures of the Affected Village

36. The construction of flood control road will acquire 12.6 mu slope waste land owned by Muyu Village collective. The total compensation will be 52,920 yuan. Through the discussion with the village committee and villager representatives, the village plan to improve the village road. The earth road runs through the village in south-north direction and it is the necessary path to farmland and the other villages. The road condition is very poor, especially in rainy days when covered by sludge. The road is 300 m long and 3.5 m wide. The investment of improvement of the road, including road concreting will be 48,300 yuan. Muyu Reservoir

15

Management Bureau will provide assistance for the construction of the road during construction Table 5-2 provides the detail budget of road hardening.

5.3 Training for the Affected Persons

37. To ensure the income of the APs will be restored in a sustainable way, Laiyang Social Security Bureau and Heluo Township Government will provide free skill training programs regularly. The skill training programs to APs will focus on fruit farming and insect control. The training plan is shown in Table 5-3.

Table 5-3 Schedule of Training for APs No. Time Place Manner Recipients Contents Workshop, Lecture, and 1 Feb. 2010 Town APs Fruit farming and insect control Practical demonstration 2 Other irregular technical trainings APs Not determined yet

5.4 Job Opportunities from the Project

38. About 100 temporary job opportunities (55% are unskilled) will be created during the project construction stage. In the project construction stage, the main unskilled job opportunities include manual laborers for excavation, material handling, greening, etc.

39. According to the survey, since the affected villages are located far from urban area and 25 affected laborers from 11 AHs work in their own orchard normally, they hope to join the project construction while working time has no conflict with their fruit planting activities. LCG and MRPMB will arrange the jobs and training for them as a priority.

5.5 Income Restoration Plan of Women

40. In the stage of RP preparation, the affected women were organized to actively participate in the survey of project impacts so as to understand their ideas on income restoration. As a result, women hold a positive attitude toward project construction by thinking that the project will help improve the environment and improve the flood control road; and land acquisition has little impacts on their lives.

41. Women will fully participate in the compensation and resettlement activities through the information disclosure and village meetings; they have equal entitlement with men in receiving compensation, employment and training. In addition, the following measures will be taken to improve women’s income: (1) During the project construction, MRPMB has ensured that the affected women will be given priority in unskilled jobs, including food and cleaning service. As per labor laws, women will get equal pay to men for the same work. (2) Technical training program including fruit farming and insect control, etc. will be provided for the affected female laborers (at least 50% will be women) to ensure their income would not be reduced.

6. COST ESTIMATE AND IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

6.1 Resettlement Cost

42. The estimated cost of land acquisition is CNY222,189 in 2009 prices, including contingency. In terms of the categories of resettlement impacts, compensation of LAR is CNY170,669, accounting for 76.8%. According to Shandong Province Implementation methods of Law of Land Administration of PRC, the land reclamation fee is 7,840 Yuan per mu according to” Notification on Relevant Issues of Building-purposed Land-use for Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering” promulgated by National Land Resources Department [2001] No.355.Table 6-1 provides the cost estimation of LAR.

6.2 Management and Disbursement of Resettlement Funds

43. Laiyang City Water Resources Bureau will provide the entire fund for resettlement activities and ensure that land acquisition and resettlement budgets are delivered on time for timely implementation of the RP. All LAR cost will be paid in December 2009, before the construction of the Project. Land compensation and resettlement subsidy will be disbursed in full to the APs. Compensation for attachments will be paid to the affected unit or individuals directly.

17

44. In order to ensure the funds for land acquisition is paid to the APs in full and in a timely manner in line with the compensation policies and standards of the resettlement plan, a strict fund appropriation plan has been established, the principles of which are as follows:  All the costs related to resettlement are covered in the general budget of this project.  The land compensation and resettlement subsidy must be paid up before the land acquisition.  To ensure the land compensation is implemented successfully, financial and supervisory agencies will be set up to make all funds appropriate in a timely manner.  The budget is based on the resettlement cost estimate. The resettlement costs may increase due to changes in the actual resettlement impacts and other factors such as inflation. Meanwhile, the resettlement budget includes a contingency cost and will be modified based on the actual needs.

7. POST-RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM FOR RESETTLERS IN RESERVOIR AREA

7.1 Background and Remaining Issues

45. Since the founding of new China, a number of large and medium-sized reservoirs have been constructed and brought into huge benefits in flood control, power generation, irrigation and water supply and ecological aspects. A large number of resettlers of large and medium-sized reservoirs made major contributions to effectively promote the national economy and social development. In order to help them to improve production and living conditions, the country has established the post reservoir resettlement support fund of the large and medium-sized reservoirs and try to solve the remaining resettlement issues in reservoir area. But due to the low support level and insufficient direct benefit to resettlers, at present their production and living conditions are still generally poorer. To help the resettlers in reservoir shaking off the poverty and promote the economic and social development in the new period, the central government of PRC issued the “Suggestions on Perfecting Post-resettlement Support Policies for Large and Medium-sized Reservoirs Resettlers” in 2006 (Guofa [2006]No.17).

46. Since 2006, the central government has distributed special fund of CNY 2.09 million to persons affected by the original the construction of the Reservoir to help improve the living condition of resettlers in Muyu Reservoir Area. Due to the out-dated infrastructure and limited income sources some villages still have some troubles in aspect of drinking water, transportation, medical service and education. In addition, the employment difficulties stayed with resettlement villagers. The remaining issues include:

Economic income. Since most of the resettlement villages have not any industrial and sideline production programs, they relied on agricultural activities for living. Income of resettlement villagers lagged greatly behind other people outside the reservoir area. Land Resources. The reservoir area is located in mountainous area where poor land quality and limited farmland resources lead to the limited output value. Although the resettlers were allocated some farmland in host area, the farmland available is very poor and output is low as well. The per capita farmland is much less than they have before relocation. Infrastructure Situation. The poor infrastructure condition includes the poor road, limited and poor quality of domestic water supply, no access to electricity, health care service and education facilities. 51% of the households have the cable TV and 37% of households have telephone. 95% of children at compulsory education age entered school. 53% of resettlers join the rural medical insurance programs. The above-mentioned percentages are much lower than the average level in Laiyang City.

7.2 Post-resettlement Support Approaches

47. Based on the “Suggestions of State Council on Perfecting the Post-resettlement Support Policies of Large and Medium-sized Reservoir Resettlement” and the corresponding Implementation Method issued by Shandong provincial government, Laiyang City government led the preparation of the post-resettlement program for Muyu Reservoir. The goals of the programs include :i) the per capita farmland will be at least 1 mu; ii) the drinking water quality will be secured; iii) road access between administrative villages; iv) power supply is available in each resettlement village; v) each administrative village has clinic; vi) 100% children at education age join the compulsory education program; vii) at least 2 laborers from each household, including one female, can join the technical skill training program; viii) cable and telephone are accessible in each village.

48. Based on the “ Management Method of Post-resettlement Support Fund of Large and Medium-sized Reservoirs in Shandong Province”, the support fund can be paid directly to resettlers or be used in actual development programs. In Laiyang City, after full consultation

19

with affected people, all support fund has been paid to resettlers directly at the annual rate of CNY 600/person. The total resettlers are 14,927 persons in 7 townships of Laiyang City that were identified as the support target of Muyu Reservoir. The support will last for 4 and a half year in the duration of 2006-2010. The total cash payment will be CNY 40.3 million for resettlers of Muyu reservoir area. The cash subsidy was paid quarterly. In addition to the cash payment, some other development programs has been planned and implemented since 2006. The details of such programs and implementation status of Muyu Reservoir Area is presented in Table 7-1. It is planned that 4 development programs have been or will be implemented in reservoir area villages from 2006 to 2010, including water resources facilities and farmland improvement, domestic water supply, transportation works and marsh gas facilities. The implementation of the programs will be monitored during the Project period. It is expected through the improvement of infrastructures the living condition of people in Muyu Reservoir Area will be better-off.

7.3 Post-resettlement Support in Reservoir Area

49. In Laiyang City, after full consultation with affected people, all support fund has been paid to resettlers quarterly at the annual rate of CNY 600/person. The support will last for 4 and a half year in the duration of 2006-2010. The total cash payment will be CNY 40.3 million for resettlers of Muyu reservoir area. In addition to the cash payment, some other development programs has been planned and implemented since 2006. The total budget of the programs is CNY 1.34 million and the overall progress is 6% in term of the expenditure of the investment. The progress varies in different programs. All support funds will be allocated by central government. Table 7-2 presents the details of the budget of the programs. All the funds will be disbursed by 2010 and the activities will be completed by 2011. The implementation of the programs will be monitored during the Project period.

9. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND GRIEVANCE REDRESS

9.1 Public Participation

51. The RP was prepared with full public participation and full information sharing with APs. The Muyu Reservoir Project Management Bureau (MRPMB) has informed the resettlement policies to all the APs via socio-economic survey, social impact survey and other communication and consultation channels. MRPMB also has consulted with various affected persons through consultation meetings. Through wide consultation, coordination and communication, related local government, affected villages and APs can fully understand the resettlement impacts, resettlement policies and formulate feasible income restoration measures.

52. MRPMB contacted the affected village committee in August 2009, and discussed the Project and compensation costs, compensation policies, entitlement, and impacts of the Project on the village and APs. MRPMB will disclose the draft RP to affected people and then sign the land agreement with APs and the affected village in November 2009. The RP approved by LCG will be redistributed to village committee in November 2009 to any one wishing to consult the document at the affected village. Copies of the short RP will be kept in the Project office and the affected VC. At the same time this short RP will be posted on the ADB’s website in November 2009. The public consultation activities and schedule is presented in Table 8-1.

9.2 Grievance Procedure

53. During the preparation and implementation of the RP, public participation is encouraged, and thus there should not be any major issues or grievances. However, some unforeseen issues may occur during such process. In order to settle such issues effectively and make the construction and land acquisition implement successfully, an effective and transparent channel for lodging complaints and grievances has been established. The basic stages for grievance redress are:

Stage 1: The APs submit an oral or written petition/complaint to the village committee. For an

22

oral complaint, the village committee must make written records properly and give a clear reply within 2 weeks.

Stage 2: If the complainant is not satisfied with the reply in Stage 1, he can appeal to the township government/sub-district office after receiving the reply in Stage 1 and the township government/sub-district office will deal with the complaint within 2 weeks.

Stage 3: If the affected person is still not satisfied with the reply of township government/sub-district office, he can appeal to Laiyang Land Resources Bureau and Laiyang Land Resources Bureau must give a reply within 30 days.

Stage 4: If the affected person is still not satisfied with the reply of Laiyang Land Resources Bureau, he can appeal to SPMO after receiving the reply of Stage 3. They also have the right to appeal to the civil court within 3 months of receiving the reply.

54. Besides the established channel above, the external monitor can also receive grievances from APs and the APs can even submit directly to ADB2. The appeal process, institutions, sites, leaders, and telephone numbers for redress of grievances will be publicized to APs via meetings, notices and the information handbook. In this way, the APs will fully realize their rights of appeal. Meanwhile, the system of information dissemination will be strengthened through use of the media, and all APs feedback will be compiled and distributed to all involved organizations.

55. Relevant institutions shall accept the complaints and grievances lodged by the APs free of charge. The reasonable costs incurred shall be covered by the contingency of the project. During the whole process of project construction, these grievance procedures remain valid so that the APs may deal with relevant issues.

2 ADB has an Accountability Mechanism to ensure policy compliance. APs are required to seek grievance resolution using the above procedures, but if they still believe that their concerns have not been resolved in accordance with this RP or ADB's Involuntary Resettlement Policy (1995), they may submit a complaint to ADB. The procedures are provided on ADB's website: http://www.adb.org/Accountability-Mechanism/default.asp
