This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared according to the Laws and Regulations of PRC, and local Regulations as well as the Guidelines of the World Bank (Operational Directive for Involuntary Resettlement OD 4.30). 'The purpose of this document is to set out an Action plan for the Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) to ensure that they will benefit from the project and their standards of living will improve or at least be restored after the project impact. Acquisition of land and other assets for the project will adversely affect the livelihood of persons who live, work or earn their living on the land that will be acquired for the project. PAPs are defined as those persons whose income or livelihoods will be adversely affected by land acquisition for the project. PAPs include the following categories: a) persons who have a title, right, interest, in structures (houses, enterprises, shelters, or public buildings), land (including residential, agricultural, and grazing land)or any other asset acquired or possessed, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; b) persons who use the structures, land or assets described above; or persons whose business, occupation, work, place of residence or habitat adversely affected; or c) persons whose standard of living is adversely affected as a consequence of land acquisition. A definition of PAPs is given below: Definition of the PAPs: "Affected Persons" means persons who on account of the execution of the project had or would have theirs: a) standard of living adversely affected; or b) right, title or interest in any house, land (including premises, agricultural and grazing land) or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed, temporarily or permanently; or c) business, occupation. work or place of -residence or -habitat adversely affected, and "affected Person" means individually all those who qualify as "Affected persons:' PAPs may be individuals or legal persons such as a company, a public institution. Definition of PAPs is -not limited to their legal Tegistration or permission to live or conduct business in the affected location, or their -title to property Thus, it 1 Resettlwnt Actio Plan includes: a) all those affected by ihe project regardless of their legal rights or absence thereof to the assets being taken; and b) persons without residential permit to live in a certain area. Therefore all such persons who are affected will need to considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal connectionto assets land or location. If there are more than one person, family or household using or holding a title to the same land or property that is acquired, they will be compensated and rehabilitated according to the loss they suffer, their rights, and the impact on their living standards. The definition of PAPs is linked directly to the adverse effect of the project, regardless of legal rights title or interest. All PAPs are entitled to the improvement or at least restoration of their standards of living, and compensation for the material losses they suffer. Compensation for assets will cover replacement cost. No deductions or discounts will be applied to the compensationamount for depreciation or other reasons. All PAPs deriving an economic benefit from the affected land and property are entitled to receive rehabilitation benefits in addition to the compensation for their assets lost. Those PAPs without title, authorization or legal permission to reside, conduct business, cultivate land or construct structures are eligible for rehabilitation of their livelihoods and compensation for their assets on an equal footing with those with formal legal title, authorization or permissions to the assets.

Infrastructure and cultural property will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-projectlevels. 23 Resettlewnt Action Plan 1. 4GENERAL 1.1. Project Background Since launching of the economic reform, the national economy in Zhejiang Province has developed in a rapid pace. In 1990, the GDP of the province was 89.8 billion Yuan (1990 price, same as below), and in 1995, that was 215.2 billion Yuan., with an average annual increase rate of 19.9%. During the first two years of the Ninth Five-year Period, the annual average increase rate was 11.34% and the GDP of the province reached 2667.8 billion Yuan. The economic increase gears up the development of power industry of the province. In the Eighth Five-year Period, the power load and power consumption of the province increased at an annual rate of 13.28% and 13.81% respectively; while in the Ninth Five-year Period, the annual increase rate in the first two years reached 7.52% and 7.88 % respectively. In 1997, the power loads and power consumption of the province were respectively 8.15 million kW and 5.12 million kWh. According to the plan of the provincial power grid, it is predicted that the power load and power consumption of the province will be increased by 9.3 1% and 8.45% respectively,and in the year of 2000, the power load and power consumption of the province will be 11.0 million kW and 6.60 million kWh. In the Tenth Five-year Period, the power load and power consumption of the province will be increased by 8.45% and 8.23% respectively; in 2005, the power load and power consumption of the province will be 16.5 million kW and 9.8 million kWh. Limited by the natural separation of the Qiantang River and the unfavorable surrounding conditions for building large-sized power plants, it is predicted that the Zhejiang Power Grid will turn to be in a pattern in which large power tide will run from the north to the south and from the east to the west during the period of 2000 - 2005. In order to satisfy the power demand for industrial and agricultural production and people's living of the province as well as safe operation of the whole power grid, some power transmission projects should be constructed. The substations and power lines under this project are part of the 5OOkV transmission projects to be built to fulfill the purpose above mentioned. 1.2 Project Componentsand Project Description 1.2.1 Project Components The corollary tranmission works for Tongbai Pumped Storage Plant are composed of following 7 items. -4 Resettlint Action Plan A.
