2 BASIC CONDITION OF THE PROJECT 2.1 Brief Description of the Project Fangzheng Dike is located on the middle south of Heilongjiang Province, and on the south bank of middle reaches of Songhua River. It is on the north part of Zhangguangcai Mountain of the branches of Changbai Mountain Range, on the lower reaches of Ant River. Eastern Fangzheng County is near Yilan County and Linlou County; southern Fangzheng County is near Yanshou County, Shangzhi County, and Linhai County; western Fangzheng County is near Bin County; northern Fangzheng County is on the bank of Songhua River and Tonghe County is on the other bank of Songhua River. Fangzheng County is with a total area of 2968.55 km2. Total length of Fangzheng County Songhua River Dike is 20.937 km, and it is from Sanmenyu of Songnan Township to Yihantong Township, and the standard of the dike is 1-in-20 year event, and it is a Class 4 dike. The dike will protect an area of 28.57 km2 and infield of 2,000 ha, 11 townships and villages (1 township), a population of 15,400. The standard of proposed dike is 1-in 20 year event, and the construction class of the dike is 4. Main construction contents are: 1) Slope Protection: extend a length of 2.63 km slope protection, in which the slope protections on both sides of Grape Gate, Heiyupao Gate, and Xinglong Gate are all 30 m, and the total length of them is 0.18 km. Number of the other slope protections are 7+100~9+050 and 17+000~17+500, and the total length is 2.45 km. 2) Revetment: total length of revetment is 4.33 km, in which length of the Heihekou revetment is 2.0 km; the length of Demoli revetment is 2.0 km; the length of newly built revetment of Yihantong is 0.14 km; and 0.19 km of primary revetment of Yihantong will be repaired. 3) Buildings: 2 new temporary drainage stations (Baiyupao Drainage Station and Grape Drainage Station). 4) The other outfit construction: forest terrace and protection forest, grass slope protection, road to the dike, etc. Total work quantities are 33.37 ×104 m3, and the works include: earthwork of 26.41×104 m3, stone of 6.53 ×104 m3, and concrete of 0.43 ×104 m3. The construction term is 1 year, and the project construction will be started in January 2009, and finished in December 2009. At present, the flood management standard of Songhua River Dike in Fangzheng County is relatively low; flood management capability is also weak; and there are many weak constructions and weak parts in the dike, and all of them threaten lives and assets of the public and corporations, and they also affect the region on economic development. 2.2 Impact Areas of Benefit Areas of the Project Land acquisition of the project will affect Tianmen Township, Yihantong Township, and Songnan Township of Fangzheng County directly, in which Heihekou Village, Demoli Village, Yihantong Villlage, Fengchan Village, and Hongqi Village will be affected. After the project is finished, it will protect 13 villages, a population of 22500, and 2866.7 ha of infield. The proposed project will also protect Moli Service Station, Moli Mineral Water Factory, Tong-San Speedway, Ha-Yi Gap Pipeline, several fiber cables for communication optical, and Yi-Han Ship Station.

2.3 Measures to Reduce the Project Impacts In the stages of the project design, the project adopted the following measures to reduce the impacts caused by land acquisition and building demolition. According to the reconnaissance material and the result of field survey, the project design was adjusted. The length of revetment was adjusted from 7.5 km to 4.33 km, and the length of cover was adjusted from 5.5 km to 1.0 km, so the area of permanent land acquisition decreased by 7.35 ha, and the area of temporary land occupation decreased by 9.44 ha. The details area presented in table 2.1. Table 2.1: Impact Scope of the Project

10.97 million is the loan of ADB. 2.6 Preparation of Resettlement Plan Resettlement Plan was prepared and will be implemented by resettlement unit of Project Office. The resettlement unit is composed of Water Affairs Bureau, Development and Reform Bureau, and related design units, and it takes charge of preparing of the outline of resettlement plan, organizing social economic survey, preparing the Resettlement Plan and supervising implementation. 2.7 Objective of Resettlement
2.7.1 Keeping Resettlement to a Minimum The resettlement issues caused by the works construction should be avoided or reduced as far as possible through optimizing design and selecting dike line reasonably. This can reduce the impacts of the project on the production and livings of local residents and enterprises and improve local economic and social circumstances.
2.7.2 Affected Persons Benefit from the Project Flood management constructions belong to important infrastructures with a great deal of social and environmental benefits. The completion of the project will certainly improve local social and economic circumstances through increasing the regional flood management capacity of the dike and improve the living standards of the residents as a result. The involved affected persons will also benefit from the project. Besides receiving proper economic compensation, their original poor living circumstances will be improved, the quality and standard of their livings will be improved, and the local education conditions will be improved greatly.
2.7.3 Production and Living Standards of Affected Persons to Be Restored or Improved The land occupied by Fangzheng County Songhua River Mainstream Dike Project is located along the river, and the persons involved in infield acquisition will be compensated by cash. Affected persons live near townships, and they can gain information quickly, and the traffic is convenient too. These conditions may help affected persons develop cultivation businesses and find other ways to acquire wealth; to organize trainings for them to study science and technology; and to introduce them to improved planting pattern, and refined crops and high-quality livestock and poultry to increase their incomes. In a word, through effective resettlement, the housing conditions, sources of economic incomes, community circumstances and education conditions of affected persons will be restored to original level or be improved in some aspects.

Enclosure 1: Independent External Monitoring and Evaluation Outline of Fangzheng County Songhua River Mainstream Dike. 1. Brief Introduction of the Project The project is an important subproject of Songhua River Flood Management Project. Proposed dike will protect 13 villages of Fangzheng County, a population of 22.5 thousand, area of 43 thousand mu of land, Moli Service Station, Moli Mineral Water Factory, Tong-San Speedway, Ha-Yi Gap Pipeline, several fiber cables for communication optical, and Yi-Han Ship Station. The flood management standard of Fangzheng County Songhua River Mainstream Dike Project is 1-in-20 year event, and the class of construction is 4. Main construction contents are: 1) Slope Protection: extend a length of 2.63 km slope protection, in which the slope protections in both sides of Grape Gate, Heiyupao Gate, and Xinglong Gate are all 30 m, and the total length of them is 0.18 km. Number of the other slope protections are 7+100~9+050 and 17+000~17+500, and the total length is 2.45 km. 2) Revetment: total length of revetment is 4.33 km, in which length of the Heihekou revetment is 2.0 km; the length of Demoli revetment is 2.0 km; the length of newly built revetment of Yihantong is 0.14 km; 0.19 km of primary revetment of Yihantong will be repaired. 3) Buildings: 2 new temporary drainage stations (Baiyupao Drainage Station and Grape Drainage Station). 4) The other outfit construction: forest terrace and protection forest, grass slope protection and road to the dike, etc. The project will be started in 2009, and it will be put into effect in 2010.
