There will be a total of 39.75 mu of collective land in Xinleitou Village, Xinleitou Town acquired for the subproject. The land acquisition will affect both the landowner (Xinleitou Village) and the land user (Dayu Group, which is also the owner of the subproject).

According to the transfer agreement, Xinleitou village transferred 115.6 mu of land to Dayu Group in 2005 due to its debt crisis. Before the transfer, the land owned by the village collective consisted of unutilized shrubbery and concaves, having no income and no affected person from the land. After the transfer, Da Yu Group Co., Ltd. arranged two employees to level the land and to plant a large number of small saplings on it.

Land acquisition (LA) will not directly affect the villagers in Xinleitou Village. See Table 2-1 for the summary of the land acquisition of the subproject:

6 INCOME AND LIVELIHOOD RESTORATION

6.1 Impacts and Restoration Plans for Acquired Collective Land

There will be 39.75 mu of collective land, owned by the village collective of Xinleitou Village, Xinleitou Town, acquired by the subproject, on which saplings thereon are grown are owned by Dayu Group Co., Ltd.

The land acquisition will affect both the landowner, Xinleitou Village and the land user, Dayu Group Co., Ltd, which is also the owner of the subproject.

This plot was transferred to Dayu Group Co., Ltd. in 2005, used to be a shrub and hollow land left unoccupied and owned by village collective. After the transfer, Dayu Group Co., Ltd. assigned two workers to level this plot and to grow saplings thereon. Hence, the land acquisition will affect Xinleitou Village, the owner of Dayu Group Co., Ltd., which is also the land user, and its two workers. But it will not affect villagers in Xinleitou Village directly.

The two affected workers will still work at Dayu Group. Since only 39.75 mu out of the 115.6 mu of total transferred land will be acquired for the subproject, the 2 affected employees will work on maintaining the remaining trees, and their income will remain unchanged.

In addition, Dayu Group promises to offer pre-job training (have not commenced yet) to villagers in Xinleitou Village and to make jobs first available to them, 60% of these jobs are women-only, and to promote the employment of local labor. Dayu Group will also offer 20 unskilled occupations, 70% of these jobs are women-only, to villagers in Xinleitou Village. See Table 6-1 for the income change on the affected population.

A non-residential property of 250 m2, which was built and owned by Dayu Group, will be demolished due to the subproject and will be transformed into a tool room and be used for forest attendance. The Dayu Group is both the affected party and also the actual land user. Thus, no compensation and no restoration needed for non-residential structures.

6.3 Restoration Plan for Affected Infrastructure and Ground Attachments

The affected saplings are owned by Dayu Group Co., Ltd., who is the actual user of the land as well as the subject of sapling compensation. Hence, no compensation will be incurred in practice. These saplings will be disposed of by Dayu Group itself before the land acquisition.
