2. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

The land acquisition of the Project involves Tietang Village, Lanjiang Township,

Changning City, Hengyang City, with a total of 1 township, 1 village committee and 2 villagers'

groups. The Project needs to lease 62.9 mu of land collectively owned by Tietang Village, all

of which are forest land, of which 60 mu was personally contracted by a villager, and the

contracted purpose was planting oil tea forest. The Project does not involve permanent land

occupation, house demolition and enterprise.

3. Policy Framework and Due Rights

This Resettlement Plan is prepared in accordance with the laws and policies of the People's

Republic of China, Hunan Province and Hengyang City on land acquisition and the provisions of ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS 2009), Section 2, Involuntary Resettlement. The

affected villages will receive compensation and subsidies corresponding to the acquisition or

5. Public Participation and Complaints

Since June 2017, the project design agency and investigation team have conducted a series of socio-economic surveys and public consultations. During the preparation of the project, the

Project Office, Implementing Agency and Design Agency have conducted extensive consultations on land acquisition and resettlement of the Project, and representatives of affected village groups expressed their understanding and support to the Project. From December, 2017 to January, 2018, the Resettlement Investigation Team conducted an in-depth investigation of the project area, and conducted a sample survey on the socio-economic conditions of the affected villager in the project area and their willingness to land acquisition. Besides, seminars were held in relevant towns and villages to further confirm the relevant land acquisition policies. In order to effectively solve the problems and ensure the successful implementation of the project construction and land acquisition, a transparent and effective complaint and appeal channel should be established for this Project. Basically, The complaint includes two stages: stage 1: if the affected persons are dissatisfied with the Resettlement Plan, they can make oral or written complaints to the township and town governments; If it is an oral complaint, it should be recorded in writing and be handled by the township and town government within 2 weeks.

Stage 2: If the affected persons are still not satisfied with the decision made in Stage 1, they can lodge a complaint with Hengyang Natural Resources Bureau or its Land Acquisition

Center to request administrative arbitration according to relevant laws and regulations of Hunan

Province after receiving the decision. The administrative arbitration institution shall make an arbitration decision within 4 weeks.

In addition, according to the Administrative Litigation Law, the affected person can directly bring an administrative lawsuit to the People's Court at any time (without being restricted by the first two stages) against any aspect of resettlement. All complaints and solutions are kept by the Project Management Office.

6. Starting Plan

According to the construction preparation and progress of this Project, the overall progress plan of project resettlement has been drawn up in the resettlement plan. However, the final schedule needs to be updated according to the final design and detailed measurement before the contract is awarded by Asian Development Bank. According to the schedule of this plan, the

Project is planned to be started in July 2019. After the Tietang Village Collective in Lanjiang

Township and the contractor Wu Wenlong negotiated on July 2, 2019, both parties agreed to terminate the contract agreement; The Lanjiang Township People's Government and Tietang

Village collectively shall sign a three-year land lease agreement in September 2019 to lease

62.9 mu of barren hills within the red line of the Tietang Village Treatment Project of MSW

Landfill Closure Component for landfill closure treatment; The resettlement work will be

completed by June 2021. The Project Management Office has drawn up a supervision plan for

resettlement to ensure that resettlement can be implemented in a timely and effective manner

in accordance with the policies of the Asian Development Bank.

7. Resettlement Cost Budget

The estimated compensation fee for land acquisition and resettlement of the Project is

RMB 382,000. Among them, the land lease cost is RMB 31,500 (accounting for 8.25% of the total cost), young crops compensation cost is RMB 80,700 (accounting for 21.13% of the total

cost), other taxes and fees are RMB 251,600 (accounting for 65.86% of the total cost), and

contingencies are RMB 18,200 (accounting for 5% of the total cost of the first three items).

8. Supervision and Evaluation

In order to ensure smooth land acquisition and resettlement, the government departments have jointly formed an internal supervision system (Hunan Project Office, Changning Project

Office, Changning Natural Resources Bureau, Changning Financial Bureau, etc.). Changning

Project Office will submit the supervision report to Asian Development Bank through Hunan

Project Office every half year after the implementation of the land lease until the project is

completed, and submit the resettlement completion report to Asian Development Bank before

the loan is closed.

the compensation standards and resettlement principles for Land Acquisition, decide the

Resettlement Implementing Agency, and formulate the resettlement implementation plan for

Land Acquisition.

Besides, it also aims to ensure the Land Acquisition will fully follow relevant Chinese

laws and regulations and be consistent with ADB's safeguard policy, the Land Acquisition

process is transparent and open, the affected villages/groups are properly compensated and

resettled, and there will be no leftover problems after the Land Acquisition is completed.

B Changes of Land for Project Use

The preliminary design of the Changning City Tietang Village Sub-project of MSW

Landfill Closure Component started in June 2019, and passed the preliminary design review in December 2019. See Annex 1 for the review opinions. See Table 2 for the comparison of

changes in land use.

The land use area of this Project originally planned in the feasibility study stage is 60 mu, and then is adjusted to 62.9 mu in the preliminary design stage. In September 2019, Lanjiang

Township People's Government entered into a land lease agreement with Tietang Village

Collective to lease 62.9 mu of mountain land within the red line of Tietang Village Project of

MSW Landfill Closure Component for three years to carry out closure and treatment construction. The newly added 2.9 mu is rural roads that still belong to Tietang Village

Collective and involves no population relocation, and will still function as the roads for the

Project's mobilization after being leased. As of April 6 when the due diligence is made, relevant compensation has been paid in full to Tietang Village Collective.

1 Project Overview

1.1 Project Background

The Project of Comprehensive Disposal of MSW Landfill in Xiangjiang River Basin of

Hunan Province is a series of sub-projects to improve the environment of Xiangjiang River

Basin, such as landfill closure, quality improvement, establishment of urban-rural integrated

domestic waste collection and transportation system, and strengthening waste disposal capacity.

The Project mainly includes: (1) the treatment of MSW Landfill Closure Component in 9

counties and cities; (2) expansion of MSW landfills in 2 counties and cities; (3) construction of

urban-rural integrated domestic waste collection and transportation system in 8 counties and

cities; (4) improvement and reconstruction of sanitary landfills in 4 counties and cities; (5)

kitchen waste disposal in 2 counties and cities; (6) waste treatment capacity development and

system reform in 11 counties and cities. Among them, projects (1)~(5) involve land acquisition

or resettlement.

Among them, Changning MSW Comprehensive Treatment Project includes two sub-

projects in total: (1) Tietang Village MSW Landfill Closure Component Project in Changning

City, and (2) Project of Integration of Changning Urban and Rural Waste Collection and

Transportation.

This Resettlement Plan is an update of the Resettlement Plan for sub-project (1), i.e.

Tietang Village MSW Landfill Closure Component Project in Changning City.

1.2 Contents and Influence of Project Construction

The Changning City Tietang Village MSW Landfill was leased in 2001 for a period of 11 years, and the two parties have signed a lease agreement and relevant payment has been made as agreed. In 2012, Tietang Village MSW Landfill became unusable for no room left for additional waste, and thus the 60 mu of barren mountain land leased was returned to Tietang

Village Group 6 in Lanjiang Township after a simple closure process. The returned land is currently wild grass ground. After the lease contract was terminated in 2012, the land was contracted by Wu Wenlong who, as we know after the investigation, is a villager in Tietang

Village where the project is located. His major job is to grow oil tea in the nearly 600 mu contracted land, including the 60 mu land involved in this project. In 2019, after negotiations between Tietang Village Collective and the contractor Wu Wenlong, both parties agreed to terminate the contract agreement, and the latter would be compensated monetarily (the compensation was mainly for the remaining land lease fee, land preparation fee, etc., and the young crops in the land would be handled by Wu Wenlong himself). After the termination of the contract agreement, in September 2019, Lanjiang Township People's Government entered into a land lease agreement with Tietang Village Collective to lease 62.9 mu of mountain land within the red line of Tietang Village Treatment Project of MSW Landfill Closure Component for three years to carry out closure and treatment construction. The newly added 2.9 mu is forest land that still belongs to Tietang Village Collective and involves no population relocation, and will still function as the roads for the project's mobilization after being leased.

1.3 Measures to Avoid or Minimize Land Acquisition

In order to ensure that the impact of land requisition and relocation on the economic and social development and people's life in the project implementation area is the basic requirement for the implementation of this project, the following principles are adhered to during the planning of land use scope in the preliminary design stage of this project:

 Keeping the waste transfer station more than 200m away from the farmer's residence.

 Avoiding or minimizing the occupation of existing cultivated land, garden and other

production land.

 Using wasteland (bare land) as the project land as much as possible.

After comparison and demonstration of different design schemes, the planned construction land in the preliminary design stage of this project is all forest land, which does not involve population and houses, thus saving land and reducing the impact of construction land to the greatest extent. 2 Project Impact

2.1 Investigation Method and Process

The methods of project impact investigation at this stage include field investigation, institutional interview and information collection.

The main working method of on-site investigation is to review the results of physical indicators according to the approved red line scope of land acquisition of preliminary design results and on-site investigation. In April 2021, the personnel of the resettlement preparation team surveyed the scope of the project construction land on the spot, and checked and confirmed that the current land was indeed forest land, and all the land was collectively owned by Tietang Village. Among them, 60 mu of forest land was personally contracted by local villager Wu Wenlong, and the contracted purpose was planting oil tea forest, and the remaining

2.92 did not involve individual contracting. The project does not involve permanent land occupation, house demolition and enterprise.

Fig 2-1 Present Situation of Construction Land Scope of Tietang MSW Landfill Project in Changning City

The main working method of the institutional interview is that the Resettlement Plan

Team conducted a visit survey on the affected villages, vulnerable groups and local institutions to determine this part of the impact, and to understand the wishes of the local government and some affected villagers within a certain range. According to the survey results, the respondents

or institutions think that this project is beneficial to the surrounding environment governance

and support the construction of this project.

The main working method of information collection is to investigate the socio-economic profile and impact degree of the affected area of the project and collect data, including socio-

economic data of the land acquisition area of the project construction, land acquisition

compensation standards, expropriation and demolition management methods and other relevant

policy documents.

2.2 Scope of Project Influence

The land for construction and operation of the Changning City Tietang Village MSW

Landfill was leased in 2001. Before the lease, it is the collective land of Tietang Village Group

6, Lanjiang Township, Changning City. A lease agreement was signed (so long ago that the

original was lost, but the relevant fees have been paid as agreed). According to the visit of the

surrounding immigrants, the lessor has paid the relevant fees according to the lease agreement.

The lease compensation will be fully appropriated by the land acquisition administration

department to the economic organization of the village collective from which land is acquired.

The specific expenditure mode will be discussed and decided by all members of the village

group. It is learned through investigation that the compensation for land acquisition received

by the collective is mainly used for such purposes as repair and maintenance of collective

facilities, including maintenance of roads to and through the village and construction of

sublateral canals for irrigation. These compensation distribution measures can improve the

living standards of local villagers to an extent.

In 2012, the Tietang Village MSW Landfill became unusable for no room left for

additional waste, and thus the 60 mu of barren mountain land leased was returned to Tietang

Village Collective in Lanjiang Township after a simple closure process. After the land was

returned, villager Wu Wenlong signed a contract agreement with Tietang Village Collective,

Lanjiang Township to lease the land for tree seedling planting, with a contract period from 2012

to 2019, 8 years in total. See Annex 2 for details of the relevant agreement. In July 2019, after consultation between Tietang Village Collective in Lanjiang Township and the contractor Wu Wenlong, the two sides agreed to terminate the lease agreement within the red line in relation to the Tietang Village Treatment Project of MSW Landfill Closure

Component. They also agreed that Lanjiang Township People's Government is to pay the compensation for afforestation within the red line of the Tietang Village Treatment Project of

MSW Landfill Closure Component and for the rent from 2012 to 2019. The land within the scope will be returned to Tietang Village Collective in Lanjiang Township after the contracting agreement is terminated.

In this regard, the investigation team conducted a relevant interview with the affected person Wu Wenlong in March 2020, and the interviewee indicated that the termination of the contract agreement was voluntary and an agreement had been reached through negotiation (see

Annex 2 for details), agreeing to compensate for the relevant land preparation and afforestation input expenses from 2012 to 2013 at the rate of RMB 450/mu for land preparation and RMB

500/mu for afforestation, as well as to compensate for the rent for a total of 8 years from 2012 to 2019 at the rate of RMB 40/mu annually. Through investigation and visit, the average price of land lease around Tietang Village in Changning City is RMB 35/mu, the average price of land preparation input expenditure is RMB 450/mu, the average price of afforestation input expenditure is RMB 500/mu, and the compensation standard related to the termination of lease compensation agreement of the Project is comparable to or slightly higher than the average price of comprehensive compensation in the area, and the rights and interests of the affected person have not been infringed.

After the signing of the compensation agreement, no residual problems occurred.

According to the interview with the affected person Wu Wenlong, the affected person is an individual businessman, with good economic conditions, and has registered an enterprise:

Changning Jinhui Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of RMB 6 million, registered in Tietang Village, Lanjiang Township, Changning City, Hengyang City,

Hunan Province, with business scope including agricultural planting; oil tea processing; production and sales of Chinese herbs and agricultural by-products; poultry and livestock breeding; agricultural ecological leisure and tourism, etc. At present, more than 600 mu of collective land has been leased in Lanjiang Township for oil tea plantation industry. The contracted woodland of Wu Wenlong occupied by the Project only accounts for 10% of the total contracted area, which has little impact on the current production and living of the affected person. After the relevant contract compensation is obtained, it can be used for other investments, and there will be no negative impact on the livelihood of the affected person. And after the completion of the governance project, the affected person can continue to contract the land within the red line for production.

In September 2019, Lanjiang Township People's Government signed a land lease agreement with Tietang Village Collective of Lanjiang Township to lease 62.9 mu of land in the red line range of Tietang Village Treatment Project of MSW Landfill Closure Component with a 3-year lease period for treatment of Tietang Village MSW Landfill Closure Component.

See Annex 3 for the related lease agreement.

5 Compensation Standards and Resettlement Measures

5.1 Compensation Standards

The compensation fee for temporary land acquisition of the Project shall be made according to the land lease agreement signed between Changning Environmental Health Management Office and the village in 2011 and the standard of RMB 500/mu for 3 years. See

Annex 5.

The standard of young crops compensation fee for the Project is according to the Notice

of Hengyang Municipal Government Office on Printing and Distributing the Measures for

Compensation and Resettlement of Collective Land Acquisition and House Demolition in

Hengyang City (HZBF [2021] No. 1). The young crops compensation fee in the initial fruiting

of oil tea is RMB 1,200/mu.

5.2 Resettlement Measures

The Project needs to lease 62.9 mu of land owned by rural collectives, of which 60 mu of woodland is contracted by the local villager Wu Wenlong, and the remaining 2.9 mu of woodland belongs to Tietang Village collectives, without involving population relocation.

According to the investigation, Wu Wenlong of the contractor is a villager of Tietang Village where the Project is located, who is an individual businessman and the main occupation is oil tea planting. All 60 mu of woodland within the scope of the Project involved in the contract is used for oil tea planting. The oil tea planted at the time of signing the lease agreement was of initial fruiting, with low economic value, and the young crops on the land requisitioned were handled by Wu Wenlong himself. After the completion of the governance project, the affected person can continue to contract the land within the red line for production. Therefore, the land leased for the Project has little impact on the income of villagers, so the land acquisition and resettlement measures for the Project are one-time monetary compensation.

The land lease fee of the Project is compensated according to the standard of RMB 500/mu in three years with reference to the land lease agreement signed between Changning Municipal

Environmental Health Management Office and the village in 2011.

The ground attachments affected by the Project are mainly young crops (oil tea). The

People's Government of Lanjiang Township shall pay compensation fee for affected young crops in accordance with the unified standard stipulated in the Measures for Compensation and

Resettlement of Collective Land Acquisition and House Demolition in Hengyang City

(compensation fee for young crops in the initial fruiting of oil tea is RMB 1,200/mu). 5.3 Assessment on Impact of Land Acquisition Compensation

The land leased by the Project mainly affects the cultivation of oil tea contracted by the

local villager Wu Wenlong. At present, Wu Wenlong in Lanjiang Township leases a total of

more than 600 mu of collective land for oil tea plantation industry. The woodland contracted

by Wu Wenlong occupied by the Project only accounts for 10% of his total contracted area,

and the oil tea planted at the time of signing the lease agreement was initial fruiting with low

economic value, and both parties have fully considered the afforestation compensation and rent

compensation when signing the compensation agreement, so it has little impact on the affected

person's current production and livelihood, and after the relevant compensation for termination

of the contract is obtained, it can be used for other investments, which will not have a negative

impact on the affected person's livelihood. And after the completion of the governance project,

the affected person can continue to contract the land within the red line for production.

According to the investigation and visit, the project site is only 6 km away from the downtown of Changning City. The living conditions of the surrounding residents are good, and the main income sources are secondary and tertiary industries. The land leased by the Project will not affect the income of the surrounding residents.

According to investigation, the contractor Wu Wenlong is a villager of Tietang Village, who is an individual businessman, with good economic conditions, and has registered an enterprise: Changning Jinhui Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of

RMB 6 million, registered in Tietang Village, Lanjiang Township, Changning City, Hengyang

City, Hunan Province, with business scope including agricultural planting; oil tea processing; production and sales of Chinese herbs and agricultural by-products; poultry and livestock breeding; agricultural ecological leisure and tourism, etc. The affected person rented a total of about 600 mu of contracted land in the area for oil tea planting. The woodland contracted by

Wu Wenlong occupied by the Project, which is 60 mu, only accounts for 10% of his total contracted area, and the oil tea planted at the time of signing the lease agreement was initial fruiting with low economic value, and both parties have fully considered the afforestation compensation and rent compensation when signing the compensation agreement, so it has little impact on the affected person's current production and livelihood. After the relevant compensation for termination of the contract is obtained, it can be used for other investments, and no negative impact will be caused to the livelihood of the affected person.

10 Public Participation and Consultation

10.1 Public Participation

Since June 2017, the project design agency and land acquisition investigation team have

conducted a number of socio-economic surveys and public opinion consultations. The project

office, implementing agency and design agencies have carried out extensive consultations on

land acquisition and resettlement of this Project, and held symposiums with relevant towns and

villages to further confirm the relevant land acquisition and house demolition policies.

In January 2019, the land acquisition personnel in Lanjiang Township conducted an investigation in the form of face-to-face interviews. On the premise of explaining the project

information, project impact and land acquisition and resettlement policies, they asked Wu

Wenlong, one affected person, about the resettlement compensation and livelihood restoration,

and understood the villagers' opinions and existing problems on land acquisition and

resettlement, which have been then taken as an important reference for the preparation of

resettlement plans.

In July 2019, after negotiation between the Tietang Village Collective and the contractor

Wu Wenlong, both parties agreed to cancel the contract agreement, and the compensation

should be made in a monetary manner, which included the remaining land lease cost and site

arrangement cost, and Wu Wenlong then handled the above-ground young crops by himself.

In August 2019, the villagers' congress was held in Tietang Village, Lanjiang Township.

Before the project site investigation team started its work, the investigation team leader

publicized the background information of this Project to the local people who also participated

in the meeting, including the project content, the necessity of implementation, the possible

impact of this Project, and the possible compensation policies and resettlement plans. Those

participants included representatives of affected villagers, women and township government,

and township cadres.

During the investigation of the preliminary work of this Project, a certain number of women representatives were always invited to participate in the investigation working group to ensure the appropriate communication to the affected women during the investigation; in the symposiums of the affected villages, more than 40% of the participants were women, who not only expressed their positive support for this Project, but also paid close attention to the correctness of the survey physical indicators, the rationality of compensation standards and whether the compensation funds could be put in place in time.

At present, all the affected villagers' groups have learned about the conditions of this

Project. Before this Project starts to be implemented, they will further publicize the construction contents, implementation progress, land compensation and subsidy policies of this Project in the affected villages and towns, and distribute this resettlement plan to the affected villagers' groups.

During the whole project implementation process, representatives of the affected village groups can participate in the land acquisition of this Project, understand the land acquisition policy and implementation plan in detail, and negotiate with Changning Natural Resources

Bureau and the Project Office on the problems arising from the land acquisition. Changning

Natural Resources Bureau and Project Office should keep in close communication with representatives of affected villages.

10.2 Complaints and Appeals

In the process of compiling or preparing and implementing the migration action plan, public participation should be encouraged, and therefore no major dispute will arise. But there may be some unforeseen problems in the whole process. In order to effectively solve those problems and ensure the successful implementation of the project construction and land acquisition, a transparent and effective complaint and appeal channel should be established for this Project. Relevant institutions should receive and accept the complaints and appeals from any of the affected person free of charge. Any reasonable expenses should be paid from the project funds of contingencies. In the process of project construction, complaint channels are still effective so that the affected person can deal with relevant problems timely. The above- mentioned complaint channels will be informed to the masses at the information public meeting and information booklets will be handed out. At the same time, the complaint procedures are informed to the affected person through the media. The basic complaint channels are as follows:

Stage 1: If the affected villages are dissatisfied with the Resettlement Plan, they can make oral or written complaints to the township government. If it is an oral complaint, it will be handled by the township government and recorded in writing. The township government should solve it within 2 weeks.

Stage 2: If the affected villages are dissatisfied with the decision in Stage 1, they can lodge a complaint with the Changning Project Office or the Land Acquisition Center of Natural Resources Bureau after receiving the decision, requesting administrative arbitration, and the

administrative arbitration institution shall make an arbitration decision within 4 weeks.

In addition, according to the Administrative Procedure Law, the affected villages can also directly bring administrative proceedings to the people's court at any time (without the restrictions of the first two stages) against any aspect of resettlement. All complaints and solutions are kept by the Project Management Office.

Affected persons can lodge complaints against any aspect of the resettlement, including

compensation standards. The name, location, person in charge and telephone number of the

above-mentioned complaint channels and accepting institutions will be informed to immigrants

through meetings, announcements and information booklets, so that immigrants can fully

understand that they have the right to complain.

The affected villages can also directly complain to ADB and other institutions on the

issues related to resettlement, and the institutions will accept the complaints of the affected

villages free of charge, and reasonable expenses incurred therefrom will be paid from the

contingencies of the project.
