The Nayong County’s Pingshan Reservoir, geographically planned to be located at the east longitude 105°15’ to 105°18’ and north latitude 26°39’ to 26°41’, will sit in Mahuangjing of Zongling Town, Nayong County, Bijie City of Guizhou Province, which is 7 kilometers (km) away from to Zongling Town and 19 km from to Nayong County town. The maximum flood level of the Pingshan Reservoir’s maximum flood level’s elevation is 1,686.99 meters (m), and the corresponding total storage capacity is 14.69 million cubic meters (m3) with maximum dam height of 94 m; the normal water storage level is 1,685 m, and corresponding storage capacity is 13.71 million m3; the dead water level is 1,642 m, and the dead storage capacity is 1.85 million 3; regulated storage capacity is 11.87 million m3, with multi-year regulating performance.

2. In June 2012, the Guizhou Provincial Development and Reform Commission (GPDRC) issued the Approval on the Proposal of Construction of Pingshan Reservoir in Nayong County (QFGNJ No.1256 [2012]). In June 2013, the Guizhou Provincial Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Resettlement Bureau issued the Approval on the Outline of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan for Nayong County Pingshan Reservoir Project (QYH [2013] No.98). Meanwhile, it issued the Review Comments on the Land Acquisition and Resettlement of Nayong County Pingshan Reservoir Project (QYH [2013] No.99). On 16 June 2014, the GPDRC issued the Approval on the Feasibility Study of Nayong County Pingshan Reservoir Project (QFGNJ [2014] No.1019). On 10 February 2015, it issued the Approval on Preliminary Design of Nayong County Pingshan Reservoir Project (QFGNJ [2015] No.172).

3. In October 2016, re-check of physical index under the resettlement impact was kicked-off at all-round. Physical index review within the scope of construction land acquision (LA) and the planning of rural resettlement were carried out successively. The work team conducted thorough and detailed review on quantities of major physical objects in the construction area to be acquired and land resources in the resettlement area by each village, group, and household (HH). The re-verification of physical measurement results of the LA and resettlement (LAR) impacts finished in March 2018; in the meantime, internal documents sorting and review was conducted. Based on the above-mentioned activities, the resettlement consultant worked with the Nayong County People’s Government, project owners, and township (town) administrations in organizing and analyzing internal documents based on results of physical index review and rural resettlement plan (RP) outcomes. The draft Implementation Plan Report for Land Acquisition and Resettlement of Nayong County Pingshan Reservoir Project (hereinafter referred to as the Implementation Plan Report) was submitted for review in April 2018.

4. On 21 June 2018, the previous Bijie Prefecture Reservoir and Ecological Resettlement Bureau organized an review of the Implementation Plan Report with related experts, representatives, and officials from agencies such as the Bijie Prefecture Development and Reform Commission, the Water Affairs Bureau, the State-owned Land Resources Bureau, the Forestry Bureau, the Traffic Bureau, the Nayong County Reservoir and Ecological Resettlement Bureau, the Guizhou Provincial Water Resources and Hydropower Surveying and Design Institute Co. Ltd, and the Guiyang Institute.

5. To satisfy construction needs, the overall construction layout was partially adjusted. The Guiyang Institute, with the Nayong County Reservoir and Ecological

Resettlement Bureau, the Water Affairs Bureau, and township stakeholders, conducted survey of physical measurement on the LA in the modified pivotal engineering construction area. The additional survey was completed in October 2019. From August 2018 to May 2020, the Nayong County Reservoir and Ecological Resettlement Bureau coordinated with the Wenchang sub-district office, Zongling Town People’s Government to re-check the census of the affected persons (APs). Based on review comments and final population review results, taking into account physical survey results upon partial adjustment of general layout of construction drawings, the Guiyang Institute further revised and improved the draft Implementation Plan Report.

6. On 3 July 2020, coordinated by the Bijie Prefecture Ecological Resettlement Bureau and engaged by the Nayong County Ecological Resettlement Bureau, the Guizhou Provincial Water Resources and Hydropower Surveying and Design Institute Co. Ltd held a meeting in Guiyang on the second review of the Implementation Plan Report. Review comments from the meeting were incorporated into the Report. As a result, the Bijie Prefecture Ecological Resettlement Bureau issued on 24 July 2020 the Approval on Land Acquisition and Resettlement Implementation Plan Report of Nayong County Pingshan Reservoir Project in Guizhou Province (BSYF [2020] No.6) as concurrence to the Implementation Plan Report (see the Attachment I).

1.5. Measures to Reduce Impacts of the Land Acquisition and Resettlement

19. During the design phase, it considered minimizing the LAR impacts much as possible. Main principles are as follows: (i) Avoid or minimize the existing and planning residential area (rural and urban) (ii) Avoid or minimize the occupation of good quality farmland (iii) Utilize the existing national and local roads that access the proposed construction areas (iv) Avoid or minimize the occupation of environment-sensitive areas

20. Compared with the preliminary design stage, according to the construction general layout and design optimization of the construction scheme in the implementation stage, the scope of changes in the implementation stage mainly includes the following: (i) Readjust the construction access roads as the overlapping treatment part in reservoir area; (ii) Adjust all the sand and gravel processing system and concrete mixing system to the overlapping part of the reservoir area; (iii) Add aggregate platform for overlapping treatment of reservoir area; (iv) Adjust and change the location of construction camp; (v) Cancel 1# spoil disposal yard and its access roads; (vi) Adjust the location of 2# spoil disposal yard, and shift the location to the dam foot close to the back of the dam; (vii) Adjust stockyard and the LA for stockyard road, cancel the location of slag pit, and change it into the Zuobajian Dalinggang stockyard; and (viii) Adjust the LA scopes in part of construction areas such as the Zuobajian and Dam pivotal area.

21. Statistics on change of the LA areas at each functional area in pivotal engineering construction area in preliminary design phase and implementation phase are shown in table 1-1.

267.64 662.13 394.49 497.52 91.90 -405.62 Subtotal mu

22. In the updated RP, comparing with the RP 2016, there is an increase of 394.49 mu of PLA. The temporary land use is reduced by 405.62 mu. The main scope and reasons for construction re-arrangement are as below:

(i) In the early 2019, the Nayong County Water Resources Bureau engaged the Guizhou Provincial Forestry Surveying Institute to start design for forestry. According to the No.35 Directive by the National Department of Forestry Administrative Measures for the Review and Approval of the Use of Forest Land for Construction Projects, the measures prohibit the occupation of secondary forest land to set up slag yard. It was re-checked that 2# slag yard is located in the secondary forest land and shall be adjusted. Given the adjustment of 2# slag yard, 1# slag yard has insufficient capacity in the preliminary design; and 1# and 2# slag yards in the preliminary design will be combined into one yard.

(ii) According to the approved preliminary design for materials transmission, in the peak time of filling of dam construction, it cannot meet the supply of rockfill to maintain the water level for flood control in the flood season. It has potential risks such as dam failure or dam collapse. Therefore, the quarry mining and transportation in the preliminary design needs to be readjusted. According to the readjustment plan in the Design Change Report on Stock Yard, Disposal Yard and Dam Plinth Axis in Nayong County Reservoir Project, the stock yard will be relocated to the Dalinggang stock yard in the upper left abutment.

(iii) After the change, the disposal yard uses the river channel between the diversion tunnel outlet and the back of the dam to pile up slag, which is used as dam embankment compaction and solidification. It is necessary to adjust the discharge tunnel, diversion tunnel, and spillway outlet downstream. Therefore, the layout of the spillway structure was changed and adjusted.

(iv) Since the quarry was adjusted from the Naigu quarry to the left abutment, the distance of the quarry from the dam changed greatly. The originally designed roads and chute above the chute can be all deleted. At the same time, the access roads and the roads and traffic holes in the venue will be adjusted.

(v) According to the geological survey at this stage, the location of the construction camp in the previous stage is a geological disaster site designated by the government; and there are risks such as rock fall on the cliff. Recent surveys also find frequent rock falls. To ensure the safety of the camp, the construction camp is planned to be adjusted in the vicinity of Xiaotun Village at this stage.

2. PROJECT RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS

2.1. Definition of the Project Impacts

23. The physical impact scope of the Project is determined by the Project design unit, the Hydro China Guiyang Investigation and Design Institute.

24. The definition of the Project impact is as follows:

(i) Permanent occupation of state-owned land: an area located in the Project areas with all kinds of farmland and non-farmland owned by the government or institution that needs to be permanently occupied, including the barren hills and previously acquired collective land. (ii) Permanent acquisition of collective land: an area located in the Project areas with all kinds of farmland and non-farmland that needs to be permanently acquired. Farmland includes irrigated land, dryland, etc. Non-farmland includes waste slopes, homestead, unused land, etc. (iii) TLO: various types of land need to be temporarily occupied during the Project construction and can be restored to the original condition after construction. (iv) Demolition of structures: all structures located within the Project area, including brick-concrete, brick-wood, mud-wood structure housing and other structure types. (v) Ground attachments to the land located within the Project areas, mainly simple facilities and trees for production and living. (vi) Affected HHs: HHs with land, structures or ground attachments located in the Project areas or are directly affected. (vii) Affected villages: villages with land, structures or ground attachments located in the Project areas or are directly affected. (viii) Affected unit: unit with land and/or structures that will be affected by the Project. (ix) Project-affected population: people whose HHs are affected by the Project. (x) Affected labor force: labor force engaged in agricultural production on the acquired land. (xi) Vulnerable groups: vulnerable groups refer to the residents who become vulnerable and lack the ability to respond to the changes in the society and become disadvantaged groups in the society due to disability, poverty and other reasons. Vulnerable groups mainly include the following types: poor families, disabled families, and women- headed families.

2.2. Survey Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts

2.2.1 Verification of Reservoir Inundation Treatment Scope

25. According to the aforementioned design flood standard, sediment deposition years, and free board verified results, the Pingshan Reservoir inundation treatment scope in the implementation stage is determined as follows:

(i) Residents relocation line. The residents relocation line in the reservoir inundation area is determined by the outsourcing line composed of normal water level of 1,685 m, reservoir free board value of 1.0 m, and reservoir P = 5% frequency (20-year return) flood backwater.

(ii) Farmland and orchard land acquisition line. Farmland and orchard the LA line in the reservoir inundation area is determined by the outsourcing line composed of normal water level of 1,685 m, reservoir free board value of 0.5 m, and reservoir P = 20% frequency (5-year return) flood backwater.

(iii) Woodland and grassland acquisition line. The acquisition line of woodland and grassland in the reservoir inundation area is determined according to the normal water level of 1,685 m.

(iv) Special facilities. According to the relevant provisions of the Flood Control Standard (GB 50201-2014), according to the original flood control standard of inundated objects combined with the actual situation of the project, it is determined through comprehensive analysis. Considering the sediment deposition of the reservoir for 20 years, the pedestrian access road is determined by the flood backwater line in 20- year return; according to the protection grade of the transmission line, the low-voltage transmission line is determined by the flood backwater line in 20-year return.

(v) Pinch out point of reservoir backwater. According to the actual situation of the submerged objects at the end of the reservoir, the location of the pinch out point of the reservoir backwater is determined according to the section within 0.3 m range that the design flood backwater surface line is not higher than the natural flood water surface line of the same frequency.

2.2.2 Verification of the Treatment Scope in the Area affected by the Reservoir

26. The scope of reservoir impact treatment refers to the area of reservoir bank instability (landslide, bank collapse, reservoir bank reconstruction and other sections caused by reservoir impoundment) determined by geological survey, and the scope of immersion and karst reverse irrigation. The reservoir edge and residential areas on isolated island that have lost production and living conditions after reservoir impoundment are also included in the scope of impact treatment. According to geological information in the feasibility study stage, after the impoundment of the Pingshan Reservoir, part of reservoir banks will collapse and slide; but no immersion and karst back irrigation will happen. Part of reservoir banks collapse and sliding range is small and the quantity is not large. According to the field survey with geological professionals, the scope of reservoir banks collapsed does not involve farmland, population, houses, and other main indicators; and the scope of bank collapse is small.

2.2.3 Scope Verification of the Pivotal Engineering Construction Area

27. The LA in the pivotal engineering construction area (i.e., dam site) is on the premise of needs for the LA of project construction activities and land occupation of buildings. It is determined according to the scope map of construction land and the coordinates of the LA scope and is divided into permanent land occupation and the TLO according to the nature of construction land. Compared with the preliminary design stage, according to the design optimization of the general construction layout and construction scheme in this stage, the scope of changes in this stage mainly includes:

(i) PLA: optimization and adjustment of permanent highway, left dam abutment, and dam pivotal area. 15

(ii) TLO: i) location change and adjustment of construction camp; ii) optimization and adjustment of processing plant and concrete mixing system (adjusted as overlapping part); iii) add the chute; iv) change and adjust the location of disposal yard #2 and temporary roads; v) cancel #1 disposal yard and temporary roads; and vi) optimize and adjust temporary highway behind dam.

2.2.4 Overlapping Scope Verification between the Reservoir Inundation Area and Pivotal Engineering Construction Area

28. According to the construction layout of the Pingshan Reservoir project, there is a part of the construction area at the upstream of the dam overlapping with the reservoir inundation area, which is the part of the reservoir inundation area requisitioned in advance in the construction area of the project (i.e., the overlapping part), which should be included in the construction area of the project. After review, the scope of the LA in the overlapping part of this stage and the preliminary design stage is slightly adjusted, mainly the location adjustment of construction camp and construction auxiliary enterprises.

2.2.5 Land Acquisition Scope Verification in the Irrigation Area

29. The scope of irrigation project construction area is determined according to the general layout of water transmission project and construction general layout scheme of this stage. At the same time, according to the nature of land use, it can be divided into the PLA and temporary land use.

30. According to the results of the project layout in this stage, the water supply and irrigation adopts the model of free flow tunnel plus pressure pipeline; the pipeline has main pipe and branch pipe; and the main water transmission pipe is the common pipe for downstream water supply irrigation and water delivery, and adopts the form of gravity flow water transmission pipeline. All water pipes are conduits. A regulating tank is set at the outlet, from which the water flows into the field pipe network. Considering that the ecological flow is at the head end of the emptying tunnel and the front end of the service gate, the connecting steel pipe is buried outside the gate pier to lead out. According to the calculation, the ecological pipe diameter is 0.3 m; the inlet elevation is 1,643.0 m; and the design ecological flow is 0.075 m3/s.

31. The Pingshan Reservoir’s dam is planned to be located on the right bank of the reservoir, which is composed of water intake, free flow tunnel, water pipeline, water outlet, and other buildings. The intake tower in the reservoir is connected to a free flow tunnel, and the pressure pipeline is connected through the stilling basin behind the tunnel. The water pipes are all gravity flow water conduits. The pipeline reference flow is 1.744 m3/s. The water supply and irrigation water supply pipes are laid with ball mill cast iron pipes, with pipe diameter of 300–900 millimeters (mm); wall thickness of 12.6– 7.2 mm; total length of 33.22 km; and the LA scope controlled by 4 m. The tunnels are structured as free flow section, open pipe section, and shallow buried pipe. The internal cross-section size of free flow section of the tunnel is 1.7 m. Among them, the total length of shallow buried pipe section is 27,490 m; the length of free flow section of the tunnel is 2,026 m; and the length of pressure open pipe section is 3,701 m. The shallow buried pipe section is included in the scope of the LA, the entrance and exit of tunnel free flow section is included in the scope of the LA, and the pressure open pipe section is included in the scope of the LA.

32. According to the construction layout of the irrigation project construction area, the scope of the LA in this stage is consistent with that in the preliminary design stage. According to the results of physical decomposition review in the implementation stage, the LA for the Pingshan Reservoir project involves 61 villagers’ groups in 21 villages of 5 townships (towns) in Nayong County.

2.7.2 Resettlement Population

41. Displaced population includes the population below the inundation line; in the inundation-affected area; those who must be relocated due to land, but not house- flooding impacts; or other reasons. It refers to the population who lives within the red line of construction LA during the physical measurement survey. The population who lives outside the redline have to be displaced without production activities and livelihoods due to inundation or acquisition of farmland and orchard land; and most of the population who are a small part of a given group (or a natural village) have moved out. Although the production and living resources simply meet their needs for life, they have lost their social network and had to be displaced; and that is also called the expanded resettlement population.

42. Resettlement population in the Pingshan Reservoir construction area is 325 in the baseline year; and 333 in the target year, of which the resettlement population in the reservoir inundation area in the baseline year is 216 and 224 in the target year. In addition, 169 in the baseline year and 171 in the target year will voluntarily relocate in indirectly affected area out of inundation area. The irrigation construction area will not involve displaced population. In addition, the displaced population in the project is also the LA-affected population. The Pingshan Reservoir and Water Transfer Facilities in Nayong County Component displaced population calculation details are shown in the Table 2-10.

4.2. Eligible Compensation Conditions and Beneficiary Compensation Cut-off Date

70. The project has carried out two reviews on the physical quantity and population affected by the LA. The field work of the first physical review started in October 2016 and was completed at the end of December 2017; and the field work of the second physical review started from August 2018 through October 2019.

71. The cut-off date was May 2020. After the cut-off date for compensation, the affected people who settled in the affected areas, newly reclaimed cultivated land, newly built houses; and any other trees and new facilities planted solely for the purpose of additional compensation are not included in the scope of compensation or subsidy.

4.3. Applicable Compensation Standards

4.3.1 Land Compensation Standards

72. According to the provisions of the Notice by Bijie Prefectural People’s Government on Publication and Implementation of the Unified Annual Output of Land Acquisition and Updated Standards of Comprehensive Land Price in Bijie City (BIFF [2018] No.4), if the local government issues a new compensation standard for the LA before the actual LA incurs, new compensation standard shall apply.

➢ Land Compensation and Subsidy Standards

73. Farmland annual output. According to the provisions of the Notice by Bijie Prefectural People’s Government on Publication and Implementation of the Unified Annual Output of Land Acquisition and Updated Standards of Comprehensive Land Price in Bijie City (BIFF [2018] No.4), the Pingshan Reservoir project’s LA involves mainly Zongling Town, Wenchang Sub-district Office, Shuguang Town, and Yangchang Town, of which the unified annual output of the LA in Zongling Town, Shuguang Town, and Yangchang Town is CNY1,750 /mu. According to the provisions of the Notice by Bijie Prefectural People’s Government on Publication and Implementation of the Unified Annual Output of Land Acquisition and Updated 43

Standards of Comprehensive Land Price in Bijie Prefecture (BIFF [2018] No.4), the Datun Community in jurisdiction of the Wenchang Sub-district Office within the Reservoir Inundation Area has neither the unified annual output standard nor area- specific comprehensive land price. Given the principle of same reservoir with same policy, its standard for the unified annual output is subject to that of Zongling Town.

74. The occupied orchard land and reclaimed wood land in the project were transformed from farmland. The compensation and subsidy standards remain the same with that of farmland. The comprehensive compensation standard for farmland acquisition is calculated as CNY40,250 /mu. The comprehensive compensation standard for orchard LA is calculated as CNY40,250/mu. The comprehensive compensation standard for reclaimed wood LA is calculated as CNY40,250/mu. The comprehensive compensation standard for wood LA is calculated as CNY17,500/mu. The comprehensive compensation standard for acquisition of other grasslands and bare land is calculated as CNY7,000/mu.

➢ Garden and Woodland Compensation Fees

75. Woodland compensation fees. Estimated according to the provisions of the Decision by Guizhou Provincial People’s Government on Revision of Measures for Wood Land Acquisition Compensation Fees in Guizhou Province (Provincial People’s Government Decree No.171) and taking reference of the corresponding compensation unit price in Bijie City and the Guizhou provincial medium- and large-sized water resources and hydropower projects under construction, the orchard and woodland compensation fee standard for this project are (i) economic wood: CNY3,400 /mu; (ii) timber wood: CNY2,200/mu; (iii) shrubwood: CNY500/mu; (iv) orchard land: CNY11,088/mu; and (v) reclaimed woodland: not accounted for such compensation.

➢ Young Crops Compensation

76. Considering that the crops cultivated by farmers within the red line of the LA in the pivotal engineering construction area and irrigation construction area have not had enough time to harvest. To ensure the smooth and organized LA for the permanent land acquired in the pivotal engineering construction area and irrigation construction area, 1 time of standing crops compensation for its loss of crops is made and calculated as the annual output value of CNY1,750/mu.

➢ Temporary Land Use

77. Compensation fee for temporary land requisition. For the temporary land in the construction area of the pivotal engineering and the pipeline project, the requisitioned farmland (orchard land) shall be treated according to the principle of “compensation period is occupation period”; and the engineering fee for land reclamation and the subsidy fee in restoration period shall be booked. The temporarily requisitioned woodland shall be compensated according to the years of forest land requisition and the annual output value of local farmland, and the corresponding woodland compensation fee shall be booked. Temporary requisition of other grasslands and other land shall apply with the standard of the same land type.

78. Land reclamation fees for temporary requisition. According to Article 17 of the Regulations on Land Administration of Guizhou Province, land use units and individuals shall reclaim land according to the principle of "destroyer reclaim" if the land is damaged due to excavation damage, collapse, occupation, stacking of solid wastes, and temporary use of land, the land reclamation cost of the Pingshan Reservoir project shall be calculated and listed according to the approved results at the preliminary 44

design stage: irrigated land at the price of CNY10,850/mu, dryland at CNY10,800/mu, and woodland at CNY7,200/mu.

79. Temporary farmland (orchard land) production restoration fee. Booking in this stage is consistent with that in preliminary design stage; that is, after the farmland reclamation, the farmers need to adjust their farming methods to recover normal agricultural production due to changes to soil characteristics. The compensation for ripening period should be three times of the annual output value of farmland.

80. State-owned water area. Compensation and subsidy not involved.

➢ Comparison with Compensation Standards in the Resettlement Plan 2016

81. Compared with the RP 2016, the compensation standards for the LA have been greatly increased. For example, the compensation standard for farmland increased from CNY19,200/mu in 2016 to the current CNY40,250/mu, an increase of CNY21,050/mu; the compensation standard for economic forest increased from CNY14,080/mu in 2016 to the current CNY20,900/mu, which increased by CNY6,820/mu. Timber wood increased from CNY13,260/mu in 2016 to CNY19,700/mu at present, an increase of CNY6,440/mu. Shrub wood increased from CNY12,200/mu to the current CNY18,000/mu, an increase of CNY5,800/mu; other grasslands increased from CNY4,800/mu in 2016 to the current CNY7,000/mu, an increase of CNY2,200 /mu. See Table 4-2 for details of changes to the RP 2016 comparing to the updated RP for the LA compensation standards.

4.3.2 Unit Price of Houses, Auxiliary Structures, Scattered Trees, and Other Compensation Unit Prices

➢ Unit Price of Houses

82. To link the unit price of the Pingshan Reservoir project with similar projects recently approved by the county and to avoid comparison between resettlement, the unit price of housing compensation for similar projects under construction in the Nayong County will be used in reference to the cost of local farm house construction in the Nayong County. Establish the unit price of house compensation for the Pingshan Reservoir (Table 4-3), specifically brick-concrete structure main house, side house, and miscellaneous house are respectively CNY860/m2, CNY690/m2, and CNY300/m2. For brick-wood structure main house, the prices for the main and side houses are CNY700/m2 and CNY560/m2, respectively; and the main and side houses with wooden structure are CNY550/m2 and CNY440/m2, respectively. In addition, before the formal demolition, the design institution will evaluate and disclose information of the houses to be demolished.

83. Compared with the RP 2016, the housing compensation standards have been increased slightly. For example, the masonry-concrete structure main house, side house, and miscellaneous house will increase by CNY42/m2, CNY77/m2, and CNY62/m2, respectively.

4.3.8 Related Taxes

103. Different taxes are calculated based on standards of existing national and Guizhou provincial policies and regulations:

(i) Cultivated land occupation tax. According to the Provisional Regulations on Farmland Occupation Tax in People’s Republic of China (Order No.511, the State Council of the PRC), Article 14 "the cultivated land occupation tax shall be levied in accordance with the provisions of these regulations in case of occupying woodland, animal husbandry and grassland, farmland and water conservancy land, aquaculture water surface, fishery water beach, and other agricultural land for building houses or engaging in sub-agricultural construction". According

to the provisions of the Implementation Measures of Cultivated Land Occupation Tax in Guizhou Province (Order No.167, Guizhou Provincial People’s Government) and the Notice by Guizhou Provincial People’s Government on Collection and Management of Cultivated Land Occupation Tax (QFF [2010] No.19), the cultivated land occupation tax of the project is calculated at CNY20/m2. If the land occupation standard of the Pingshan Reservoir project resettlement planning housing construction exceeds the original level, the land occupation tax shall be levied on the excess portion according to the half tax reduction, i.e., CNY10/m. Special facilities construction area (mainly traffic LA) is CNY2/m2. If the cultivated land occupation tax has been paid, the actual paid tax shall prevail. On 29 June 2017, the Pingshan Reservoir project in Nayong County has paid a total of CNY8.0258 million of farmland tax in the flooded area.

(ii) Cultivated land reclamation fee. According to the Notice on Strengthening and Improving the Land Development and Consolidation and Balancing Cultivated Land Occupation and Compensation in Guizhou Province by the General Office of Guizhou Provincial People’s Government Transferring Opinions of the Provincial Bureau of Land and Resources and the Provincial Bureau of Finance (QFBF [2007] No.101), the minimum collection standard of cultivated land reclamation fee in the whole province is CNY8,000/mu.

(iii) Forest vegetation restoration fee. According to the spirit of the Notice on Adjusting the Collection Standard of Forest Vegetation Recovery Fee to Orientate the Economical and Intensive Use of Wood Land (CS [2015] No.122) issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Forestry Administration: "for arbor woodland (including cutting and burning land), bamboo woodland and nursery land with a canopy density of more than 0.2, each m2 shall not be less than CNY10; not less than CNY6/m2 for shrub land, sparse forest land and immature forest land, and not less than CNY3/m2 for bare woodland. After verification with the Nayong County Forestry Bureau, the construction area and reservoir inundation area of the project do not involve national and provincial public welfare woodland, and the collection standard is tentatively calculated as CNY10/m2 for timber wood and CNY6/m2 for shrub wood. The forest vegetation recovery fee in this report is calculated and listed according to the above standards temporarily, and the forest vegetation recovery fee required in the Feasibility Study Report on the Use of Wood Land which is finally approved in the future shall prevail. In accordance with the provisions: if the woodland is temporarily occupied, the forest vegetation restoration fee shall be paid, and the owner or user temporarily occupying woodland shall be compensated according to the period of temporary woodland occupation and the annual output value of the local cultivated land; if damage is caused to the trees, the owner or user temporarily occupying woodland shall be compensated.

4.3.9 Post-Resettlement Support

104. The scope of support in the post-resettlement period is indicated in the Tentative Measures for the Approval and Registration of the Population Supported by Rural Resettlement in New Medium- and Large-sized Reservoirs Projects (FGNJ [2007] No.3718). For the displaced population affected by the Nayong County Pingshan Reservoir project, they will be included into the scope of post-resettlement support and 50

subsidized with CNY600 per person per year for a total of 20 years based on the Document GF [2016] No.17.

5. RESETTLEMENT AND LIVELIHOODS RESTORATION

5.1. Objectives and Principles of Resettlement and Restoration

5.1.1 Objectives of Resettlement and Restoration

106. The overall objective of the Project is to restore the affected farmers’ livelihoods as soon as possible and enable livelihood improvements as much as possible. Specific objectives are as follow:

(i) Affected relocation households get compensation according to the replacement value to ensure their resettlement housing area, structure and living environment, and quality can reach to the level before relocation and have increase than before. (ii) All the affected land attachments will be compensated according to the replacement value. (iii) Farmers affected by the LA will get replacement farmland through land transfer. (iv) Farmers affected by the LA will get proper compensation and resettlement through promoting employment and improving production conditions, making their income assured and improved. (v) Ensure self-sufficiency of grain production. In the areas with less arable land resources, through the adjustment of agricultural structure, fully develop the potential of land and improve land output. (vi) Adopt measures to ensure that the level of production and living of the affected people can be restored to the level before the resettlement. (vii) The public infrastructures, school, medical treatment, social welfare, and production and living conditions will be improved to the level before resettlement. (viii) Vulnerable groups will receive special attention and measures to ensure their livelihoods and living conditions are significantly improved.

5.1.2 Principles of Resettlement and Restoration

107. The principles of resettlement and rehabilitation process during the implementation are as follows:

(i) Land transfer option will be provided to land-losing farmers to ensure that they can have land as production materials. (ii) The centralized and scattered resettlement sites will be available to the relocated families for choosing out-migrant strategy in the same townships. (iii) The affected people will be involved in the whole resettlement process. For housing and facilities compensation standards, the choice of resettlement housing, relocation schedule, recovery time schedule, the time of compensation payment, and other issues, the affected people or representative will participate in the discussion; and make an agreement through consultation. Consultation with the affected people will be made by holding the representatives’ forum, villagers’ consultations, and other manners. (iv) All types of compensation will be fully and directly paid to the property owners.

(v) Establishing compensation funds to be paid into a special account to ensure that any units or individuals (including township governments and/or street committee and village and/or resident committees) will not hold back the compensation funds of the APs. (vi) Compensation for housing, land, ground attachments, and other assets is completely calculated at replacement value. (vii) Calculation of full replacement cost will be based on the fair market value, transaction costs, accrued interest, transition and recovery costs, and other costs that may arise appropriate. The amount of compensation shall not be detained or deducted for depreciation, nor the burden of taxation. Payment of property owners’ compensation must be disclosed according to the compensation standard calculation. All property owned by the original owners will belong to the original owners. The value of buildings cannot be depreciated. Compensation shall not deduct the remaining material value after the demolition. Project implementation units will pay any taxes or other fees or exemption from the re-registration of land and property. (viii) Various livelihood rehabilitation strategies will be implemented to recover the livelihood and income of land-loss farmers, including replacement land, cash compensation, pension and social insurance, employment opportunity generation, development of cultivation and livestock breeding, development of private-operated business, skill training, etc. (ix) Providing assistance and caring for vulnerable groups which consist of poor people living under th MLG and disabled, including vulnerable households have a prior right to choose replacement housing, employment opportunities during the Project implementation process, and service distribution in the resettlement area. (x) Long-term post resettlement support. A post-resettlement support fund will be established, with a standard rate set at CNY600 per person per year; and which will be payable for 20 years. (xi) Access to previous land not inundated. All farmers who still have some land left which are not inundated, they have the rights to get access to their previous land. Now, all of the land have been planted with trees for ecological environmental protection of the reservoir.

5.1.3 Basic Principles of Housing Resettlement Plan

108. Basic principles of housing resettlement plan adopted are as follow:

(i) The selection and planning of housing resettlement location combines with production resettlement, comprehensively considering the topography, geology, water source, electricity, transportation, and other factors. Select place that is sunny with geological stability, good water quality, water security, accessibility, and room for development; and solicit the opinions of affected people and host villagers. (ii) The selection of resettlement sites is beneficial and convenient for production and optimal land utilization, minimizing the cultivated LA. (iii) Housing resettlement plan is based on the proportions of construction land in the "Township Planning Standards", combined with the topography characteristics in resettlement area to conduct comprehensive analysis. Propose a general layout map for new resettlement construction.

(iv) Plan and design of infrastructure includes the plan and design of land leveling engineering in residential sites, water supply, drainage, sewage, electricity, internal roads, and external transport for settlements. (v) The elevation of new housing sites around the reservoir is higher than the relocation line and flood line and keeps 10 m horizontally away from the inundation line to ensure safety. This is important for move-back households.

5.1.4 Living Standards of Residents

109. Combined with the actual situation in the reservoir area, considering the need for building a new socialist countryside, calculation is increased by 15% of the actual value in the reservoir area; the actual per capita homestead area in reservoir area is 58.3 m2; and the standard becomes 67 m2, which is 8.7 m2 of increase. Thus, the APs’ house condition will be improved. For resettlement sites with more than 100 people, plan and design must be done.

(i) Water-use standard of tap water supply. According to the "Township Planning Standard", combined with the actual situation in the reservoir area, the per capita water-use is 150 liters (L)/day; and water quality must meet the relevant provisions of the "Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water" (GB5749-2006). (ii) Electricity standard. For people scattered resettled, generally there is no individually configured transformer; residential electricity access existing local power supply facilities count the expansion costs if capacity expansion is needed; and living electricity load is based on 4 kilowatts (kW)/household. (iii) Internal roads. Main truck road: control the red line by 8 m width, roadway by 6 m width; secondary road: control the red line by 6 m wide, roadway by 3.5 m width; and all roads are concrete. (iv) External traffic road. Control the red line by 8 m width, roadway by 6 m width; and all roads are concrete. (v) Culture, education, health, and other infrastructure, including cultural centre for elderly and pre-school facilities, the principle is to use the existing local facilities; expand the inadequate capacity through the transformation and expansion, etc.; and invest for capacity expansion (i.e., included in resettlement budget and/or local government budget for new countryside village development).

5.1.5 Selection of Relocation Sites

110. Most village committees affected by the inundation area of the Pingshan Reservoir are far away from the center of Nayong County. The water source, transportation, and living conditions are at the ordinary level. To ensure that the production and living standards (after resettlement) are better than the original standards and create conditions for the improvement of production and living standards of resettlement, the following principles are considered in the selection of relocation areas:

(i) Development of cultivated land resources for resettlement of farmers to the relocation area. (ii) Natural and traffic conditions are relatively good, water supply, power supply, and other facilities are easy to access.

(iii) Fully respect the rights of ethnic minorities in the resettlement process and take care of their original production and/or living habits as much as possible. (iv) Nayong County carried out a survey on the carrying capacity of cultivated land in the whole county. The method is to organize the township (town) and village collective cadres to conduct household survey on the causes of land transfer under the jurisdiction of the administrative region, including agricultural and/or non-agricultural, marriage, death, and other stable income; screen out the settlement areas with better conditions; and put forward suggestions to the people. (v) Recommend relocation areas to the APs. Nayong County carried out resettlement-related work for the resettled group; broadcasted the resettlement policy; and introduced the cultivated land, natural and social resources in the relocation areas, and relevant photos.

5.2. Restoration Plan

5.2.1 Restoration Plan for the Villagers’ Groups Slightly Affected

111. The PLA of farmland under the project affects 19 village groups in 10 villages of 4 townships and/or towns, with a total area of 677.83 mu. As indicated from land acquisition impact analysis in Chapter 2, except for Yaoyan Village in Zongling Town and Datun Community in Wenchang Sub-district where they have greater impact with the LA, there is little impact on other 9 villagers’ groups in 7 villages of 2 towns and/or townships, which are Shuguang Township and Yangchang Town, with a LA proportion between 0.01% and 0.70%. According to the replacement willingness survey of this portion of the affected HHs (AHs), 100% of the AHs require cash compensation. After the APs receive compensation for the LA, they plan to adjust the planting structure and develop aquaculture. Table 5-1 indicates the production recovery plan of villages with slight impacts.

5.2.2 Restoration Plan for the Villagers’ Groups Significantly Affected

112. According to project LAR impacts and impact analysis, 10 villagers’ groups, i.e., Youzhafang Group and Baiyanjiao Group of Yaoyan Village, Qiling Town, and the Youzhafang Group, Heitang Group, and Dayuan Group of Datun Community, Wenchang Sub-district, are more seriously affected. The land re-adjustment plan is determined in the RP 2016 to be no longer feasible because the Rural Land Contract Law stipulates that farmers' contracted land will not be adjusted during the second round of contracting period (1997–2027). In 2019, the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party decided to sustain the rural land contracting relationship for long term; and extend the second round of land contract for another 30 years after the expiration. Therefore, there is no legal possibility to adjust the contracted land of farmers.

113. However, as to how landless farmers obtain land for farming, currently they mainly get land in the land-leasing market through land transfer. That is to say, farmers who are entitled with contract land management, who do not have the energy and conditions, or who are unwilling to engage in agricultural activities due to migrant work or other reasons transfer their land to other farmers or corporations for management. It is told that in the local rocky desertification area of Nayong, due to the barren land and steep terrain, they grow mainly potato and corn. The annual output of potatoes is about 170 kilograms (kg), with CNY1.2 per kilo; the annual output of corn is 1,500 kg/mu, with CNY1.0 per kilo. Since the farming revenue is very low, it is commonly seen that many farmers go out to work, leaving their land unused. For example, Yaoyan Village has a total population of 1,569; and only 300 people permanently live in the village. Young people work in Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces and hand over their land to neighbors or relatives for farming. The land transfer price is about CNY500/mu per year. To analyze whether the project LA-affected people of 10 villagers’ groups are likely to get land transferred from the market to continue farming, the survey and analysis were done as below:

114. Analysis of land transfer need. According to the cultivated land occupation and per capita income level in the replacement area, referring to the per capita cultivated land of less than 25° before inundation, the allocation standard is lowered down as appropriate; and the per capita cultivated land is configured between 0.40 mu and 1.90 mu. The Pingshan Reservoir project’s LAR-involved production-replaced population is 562 people until the target year. The total cultivated land to be transferred for the APs is 533.05 mu with more details as below:

(i) The agricultural population of the Youzhafang Group of Yaoyan Village in Zongling Township is 155. The existing cultivated land area is 265.63 mu, which is 1.71 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project acquires 181.88 mu of cultivated land, with the LA ratio of 68.47%. The per capita cultivated land area is 0.54 mu after the LA, and the per capita cultivated land is dropped by 1.17 mu. The LA will affect 45 directly resettled population and 106 production-replaced population in this villagers’ group. The per capita cultivated land transfer standard is 1.40 mu/person. Based on the survey results, there is no transferable cultivated land in this group after the LA; and the per capita cultivated land transfer standard is larger than the per capita cultivated land after the LA. Therefore, the environmental capacity of this villagers’ group can no longer host the replaced population, which shall be replaced in other villagers’ groups. At the same time, considering the replacement method and the principle of population expansion, the group has an

expanded population of 54 people; and a total of 151.2 mu of land required for transfer.

(ii) The agricultural population of the Baiyanjiao Group of Yaoyan Village in Zongling Township is 125. The existing cultivated land area is 220.68 mu, which is 1.77 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project acquires 100.86 mu of cultivated land, with the LA ratio of 45.70%. The per capita cultivated land area is 0.96 mu after the LA, and the per capita cultivated land is dropped by 0.81 mu. The LA will affect 8 directly resettled population and 57 production-replaced population in this villagers’ group. The per capita cultivated land adjustment standard is 1.40 mu/person. Based on the survey results, there is no transferable cultivated land in this group after the LA; and the per capita cultivated land transfer standard is larger than the per capita cultivated land after the LA. Therefore, the environmental capacity of this village group can no longer host the replaced population, which shall be replaced in other villagers’ groups. At the same time, considering the replacement method and the principle of population expansion, the group has an expanded population of 8 people; and a total of 79.8 mu of land required for transfer.

(iii) The agricultural population of the Mahuangjing Group of Yaoyan Village in Zongling Township is 192. The existing cultivated land area is 314.67 mu, which is 1.64 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project acquires 26.44 mu of cultivated land, with the LA ratio of 8.40%. The per capita cultivated land area is 1.50 mu after the LA, and the per capita cultivated land is dropped by 0.14 mu. The group involves no direct resettled population and has 16 production-replaced population. The per capita cultivated land standard is 1.31 mu/person. Based on the survey results, there is 25.00 mu of transferable cultivated land in this group after the LA, with a transfer ratio of 8.67%. After land transfer, the per capita cultivated land is 1.37 mu; and the per capita cultivated land is dropped by 0.13 mu. The actual amount of cultivated land for the production-replaced population needs to be adjusted to 21.0 mu until the target year.

(iv) The agricultural population of the Longjing Group of Yaoyan Village in Zongling Township is 219. The existing cultivated land area is 322.85 mu, which is 1.47 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project involves the LA of 32.00 mu, with a LA ratio of 9.91%. After the LA, the per capita arable land area is 1.33 mu; and the per capita arable land is reduced by 0.14 mu. This group does not involve the direct resettled population, and the production-replaced population is 22. The per capita cultivated land transfer standard is 1.20 mu/person. Based on the survey results, the group can transfer 30.00 mu of cultivated land after the LA, with the transfer ratio of 10.31%. The per capita cultivated land is 1.19 mu after land transfer. The per capita cultivated land is reduced by 0.14 mu. The actual amount of cultivated land for the production-replaced population needs to be adjusted to 26.40 mu until the target year.

(v) The agricultural population of the Yanjiaozhai Group of Yaoyan Village in Zongling Township is 182. The existing cultivated land area is 263.64 mu, which is 1.45 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project involves the LA of 5.23 mu, with a LA ratio of 1.98%. After the 60

LA, the per capita arable land area is 1.42 mu; and the per capita arable land is reduced by 0.03 mu. This group does not involve the direct resettled population, and the production-replaced population is 4. The per capita cultivated land transfer standard is 1.16 mu/person. Based on the survey results, the group can transfer 13.00 mu of cultivated land after the LA, with the transfer ratio of 5.03%. The per capita cultivated land is 1.35 mu after land transfer. The per capita cultivated land is reduced by 0.07 mu. The actual amount of cultivated land for the production-replaced population needs to be adjusted to 4.64 mu until the target year. Therefore, the replacement area has sufficient capacity for the APs.

(vi) The agricultural population of the Dayuan Group of Datun Community in Wenchang Sub-district Office is 198. The existing cultivated land area is 216.55 mu, which is 1.09 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project involves the LA of 31.49 mu, with a LA ratio of 14.54%. After the LA, the per capita arable land area is 0.93 mu; and the per capita arable land is reduced by 0.16 mu. This group involves 1 direct resettled population, and 29 production-replaced population. The per capita cultivated land transfer standard is 0.87 mu/person. Based on the survey results, the group can transfer 28.00 mu of cultivated land after the LA, with the transfer ratio of 15.13%. The per capita cultivated land is 0.79 mu after land transfer. The per capita cultivated land is reduced by 0.14 mu. The actual amount of cultivated land for the production-replaced population needs to be adjusted to 25.29 mu until the target year. Therefore, the replacement area has sufficient capacity for the APs.

(vii) The agricultural population of the Youzhafang Group of Datun Community in Wenchang Sub-district Office is 217. The existing cultivated land area is 206.90 mu, which is 0.95 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project acquires 194.34 mu of cultivated land, with the LA ratio of 93.93%. The per capita cultivated land area is 0.06 mu after the LA, and the per capita cultivated land is dropped by 0.89 mu. The LA will affect 65 directly resettled population and 264 production-replaced population in this villagers’ group. The per capita cultivated land transfer standard is 0.7 mu/person. Based on the survey results, there is no transferable cultivated land in this group after the LA; and the per capita cultivated land transfer standard is larger than the per capita cultivated land after the LA. Therefore, the environmental capacity of this villagers’ group can no longer host the replaced population, which shall be replaced in other villagers’ groups. At the same time, considering the replacement method and the principle of population expansion, the group has an expanded population of 81 people; and a total of 146.3 mu of land required for transfer.

(viii) The agricultural population of the Heitang Group of Datun Community in Wenchang Sub-district Office is 171. The existing cultivated land area is 148.28 mu, which is 0.87 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project acquires 81.84 mu of cultivated land, with the LA ratio of 55.19%. The per capita cultivated land area is 0.39 mu after the LA, and the per capita cultivated land is dropped by 0.48 mu. The LA will affect 37 directly resettled population and 94 production-replaced population in this villagers’ group. The per capita cultivated land transfer standard is 0.70 mu/person. Based on the survey results, there is no 61

transferable cultivated land in this group after the LA; and the per capita cultivated land adjustment standard is larger than the per capita cultivated land after the LA. Therefore, the environmental capacity of this villagers’ group can no longer host the replaced population, which shall be replaced in other villagers’ groups. At the same time, considering the replacement method and the principle of population expansion, the group has an expanded population of 26 people; and a total of 67.51 mu of land required for transfer.

(ix) The agricultural population of the Dayuan Group of Datun Community in Wenchang Sub-district Office is 211. The existing cultivated land area is 149.43 mu, which is 0.71 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project involves the LA of 11.36 mu, with a LA ratio of 7.60%. After the LA, the per capita arable land area is 0.65 mu; and the per capita arable land is reduced by 0.06 mu. This group involves no direct resettled population, and 16 production-replaced population. The per capita cultivated land adjustment standard is 0.57 mu/person. Based on the survey results, the group can transfer 15.00 mu of cultivated land after the LA, with the transfer ratio of 10.86%. The per capita cultivated land is 0.58 mu after land transfer. The per capita cultivated land is reduced by 0.07 mu. The actual amount of cultivated land for the production-replaced population needs to be adjusted to 9.66 mu until the target year. Therefore, the replacement area has sufficient capacity for the APs.

(x) The agricultural population of the Dayuan Group of Datun Community in Wenchang Sub-district Office is 216. The existing cultivated land area is 112.07 mu, which is 0.52 mu per capita before the LA. The Pingshan Reservoir project involves the LA of 1.51 mu, with a LA ratio of 1.35%. After the LA, the per capita arable land area is 0.51 mu; and the per capita arable land is reduced by 0.01 mu. This group involves no direct resettled population, and 3 production-replaced population. The per capita cultivated land transfer standard is 0.52 mu/person. Based on the survey results, the group can transfer 9.00 mu of cultivated land after the LA, with the transfer ratio of 8.14%. The per capita cultivated land is 0.47 mu after land transfer. The per capita cultivated land is reduced by 0.04 mu. The actual amount of cultivated land for the production-replaced population needs to be adjusted to 1.25 mu until the target year. Therefore, the replacement area has sufficient capacity for the APs.

115. Survey on the transferable land. Regarding the source of the cultivated land transfer for those with sufficient cultivated land resources in the villagers’ group, it is mainly to be transferred within the group; and for the villagers’ groups with insufficient environmental capacity, Dongfengyakou is the main consideration. According to the survey of 8 villagers’ groups in 2 townships (towns), 4 villages, and 1 state-owned unit in Zongling Town and Wenchang Sub-district, the arable land available for transfer is about 2,120.00 mu, all of which are dryland. The main area is Dongfengyakou of Xiaotun Village in Zongling Town. The land is owned by the Civil Affairs Bureau of Nayong County. The amount of cultivated land that can be transferred is about 2,000.00 mu. It is larger than the total area of 533.04 mu of cultivated land that needs to be transferred for the APs. Therefore, the local resettlement capacity is sufficient.

116. Analyzed from the individuals transferring the cultivated land, it is mainly composed of the collective, urbanized farmers, farmers with unused land, the dead, 62

farmers enjoying five guarantees, and farmers with fixed jobs. These farmers have separated from agriculture and their incomes mainly come from non-agricultural industries. The land transfer will not affect the production and life of involved farmers. In addition, in terms of the amount of cultivated land that can be transferred, the survey considers that the willingness to transfer is less than 20% of their total land. Therefore, in the view of the overall or individual land transfer it will not affect the production or life of local original households in the replacement area. For the APs with willingness of getting land transfer, the compensation they receive from the LA can easily afford the land transfer costs. Therefore, after the LA, if the APs need to continue to engage in farming, they can easily get transfer of land.

117. Training plans for affected persons. The literacy of the APs in the reservoir area is low, and promotion and application of agricultural science and technology is also low. Only when the APs acquire scientific and practical technology can the production development plan achieve the expected effect. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out training on production technology and practical technology for the APs in different stages; and at the same time, it is necessary to train cadres at different levels so as to better serve the APs. The training is mainly carried out in the reservoir area to carry out agricultural technology extension training courses; employ experts and technical personnel to teach; and send cadres and key staff to relevant colleges, universities, and institutions for training. The training programs and contents are as follows:

(i) Planting skills training. Study crop planting techniques to increase the output and benefits of the farmland; and new techniques such as hybrid rice, corns, film- based planting, greenhouse vegetables, and dryland rotation planting process. (ii) Forestry skills training. Study techniques such as orchard tree seedling cultivation, transplantation, winter warming, pest disease control, fruits preservation, storage and delivery, etc. (iii) Water farming training. Study fish farming techniques, such as baby fish breeding and selection, feeding and management, fish baits and fertilizers, disease control, etc. (iv) Secondary and tertiary industry training. Study the business operation and management of programs in the secondary and tertiary industry in reservoir area, and business and advanced processes and technologies.

118. The trainings are hosted by the Poverty Alleviation Office of the Nayong County People’s Government and the township/town governments. Since these trainings are part of the governments’ routines, training costs will be covered by the local governments. The APs can get sufficient trainings as much as they possibly can.

119. Budget planned for the restoration period. To assist these 10 affected villagers’ groups to enjoy all different opportunities to at least recover or improve their production, livelihoods, or revenues as soon as possible, the production recovery costs are considered to put into budget in the early production period for the APs to get accustomed to new production and livelihoods after resettlement, except that they be compensated for the acquired land, establishment, or ground attachments. It is calculated as 2.5% of the compensation for the LAR. The preliminary cost for the reservoir inundation area is CNY0.6293 million, for the pivotal engineering construction area is CNY0.2952 million yuan, and for the irrigation construction area is CNY0.2203 million. All related costs are included into the project budgeting.

120. Projection on the livelihood restoration of the affected persons. According to the survey, the LA-involved land under this project is generally planted with two crops a year, mainly potatoes and corn. According to the 2019 National Agricultural Cost-benefit Data Collection, the maize and wheat planting area in Guizhou Province yielded in 2018 an average of 405.41 kg of corn with output value of CNY914.63 per mu, costing CNY1,360.21/mu (including the cost of production at CNY1,237.52 /mu and land cost at CNY122.69 /mu). So, the net loss for the local corn is CNY445.58 /mu. However, considering that the local corn planting is mainly based on the land contracted by the local family, the cash income loss of the local corn planting in 2018 is CNY322.89/mu, excluding the land rent. The specific costs and benefits are shown in Table 5-3. As for potatoes, because the local area is rocky desertification and according to the survey of the annual output of potatoes around 170 kg/mu, the 2019 65

market price of CNY1.3/500 grams (g); potato planting gross income is CNY442/mu; and with the net profit calculated by 50%, the net profit is only CNY221/mu. In summary, the annual income loss of local agricultural planting is CNY102/mu. However, the farmers themselves generally do not count their own labor input; and therefore, people continue to engage in agricultural farming.

Table 5-3: Corn Costs and Benefits in Guizhou in 2018

Item Unit Guizhou Per mu Main products output kg 405.41 Total output value CNY 914.63 Output value of main products CNY 905.23 Output value of side products CNY 9.40 Total costs CNY 1360.21 Production cost CNY 1237.52 Cost of goods and services CNY 309.78 Cost of labor CNY 927.74 Cost of land CNY 122.69 Net loss CNY (445.58)

121. Table 5-4 analyzes the land income of local farmers before and after the LA. The cash income loss of 1 mu of farmland before the LA is CNY102 (not considering the production cost and land cost of farmers). After the LA, the compensation for 1 mu of farmland is CNY40,250. According to the current average annual deposit income of 4%, the annual interest of farmers' 1 mu of farmland after the LA is CNY1,610, which is far higher than the actual income that the farmers can get from operating 1 mu of farmland before the LA. It can be seen that the compensation standard adopted in this Project is enough to make up for the loss of the LA of farmers. In addition, for farmers who wish to continue farming, the land can be easily obtained through land transfer in markets. Therefore, the LA under this project enables the farmers to realize the appreciation and preservation of their land assets; and provides the farmers with a freedom of career choice; that is, to continue farming (operation of transferable land) or to leave agricultural labor.

5.3. Relocation and Resettlement Plan

5.3.1 Resettlement Method and Destination

122. A total of 333 relocated people are from the acquisition of construction area of the Pingshan Reservoir project. Among them, relocated 24 HHs or 101 persons are from the Youzhafang Group of Yaoyan Village, Zongling Town; 5 relocated HHs or 16

persons are from the Baiyanjiao Group of Yaoyan Village. Wenchang Sub-district Office Datun Community Youzhanfang have 29 relocated HHs or 150 persons; Hetang Group have 12 relocated HHs or 65 persons; Dayuan Group have 1 relocated HH or 1 person.

123. The APs have the following resettlement options: (1) concentrated (or on-site) resettlement in the same village; (2) scattered (or off-site) resettlement in the same township (town); and (3) move out of the town and scattered resettlement in the same county. From November to December 2019, the Nayong County Reservoir and Resettlement Bureau, the Nayong County Water Affairs Bureau, the Zongling Township, the Wenchang Street, and the Hydro China Guiyang Investigation and Design Institute jointly organized the survey of resettlement intentions with affected HHs. According to the survey result, except for 1 relocated HH or 1 person in Dayuan Community who is resettled within this group, other relocated 70 HHs or 332 people have destination of the resettlement site in Dongfengyakou. During the resettlement willingness survey and public consultations conducted in November and December 2019, the APs were fully informed about the site selection; the homesite characteristics; and housing construction cost. They were looking forward to receiving the compensation and starting to build their new houses as soon as possible, given the poor access to infrastructure and public service in inundation (remote) area. See Table 5-5 for the location and resettlement program.

5.3.2 Location and Land Ownership of Dongfengyakou

124. Dongfengyakou locates within the boundary of Xiaotun Village in Zongling Town in terms of administrative division and belongs to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Nayong County in terms of land ownership. It has visible transport advantage, which is 1 km away from provincial highway 307, 1.8 km from Zongling Township, and 15 km from Nayong County. Dongfengyakou is 4 km from Yaoyan Village and 4 km from Dayuan Community. Therefore, compared with Yaoyan Village and Dayuan Community, Dongfengyakou has obviously more convenient traffic accessibility.

125. Dongfengyakou is 4 km away from the Yongxing Coal Mine and 3 km away from the Luqian Coal Mine. In addition, due to the easy access to provincial highways, towns, and counties, more non-agricultural jobs increased. Dongfengyakou can easily connect to urban domestic water supply and electricity supply. A small part of the land is used for tea planting with the rest part of it unused. Since the land ownership belongs 67

to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Nayong County, it is convenient to coordinate the house construction for the APs.

Figure 5-1: Geographic Location of Dongfengyakou

5.3.3 Economic Feasibility of House Building for the Affected Persons

126. Homestead. According to the statistics from the Statistical Yearbook of Nayong County in 2018, the per capita living area of rural residents in Nayong County in 2017 was only 37.00 m2/person. According to the relevant provisions of the Town Planning Standard GB50188-2007, the rural housing construction occupied per capita land of not more than 40 m2. Considering the actual per capita level in the reservoir area, if the project resettlement construction is considered based on the per capita housing site of 40 m2, the total area of 333 relocation population is about 20 mu (13,320 m2). The Dongfengyakou plot has a total area of 2,000 mu; and so in terms of area, there is sufficient homestead for th eAPs to choose to build new houses. In terms of capital, the transfer price of the local homestead in Nayong is generally between CNY130,000/mu and CNY200,000/mu depending on the location conditions. The total of 20 mu of homesteads needed for farmers to build houses will cost about CNY2.6 million to CNY4.0 million. The project compensates the demolished households with a per capita housing site compensation of CNY15,000 (i.e., 4.3.4 decentralized resettlement infrastructure fees), and the 333 relocated HHs will receive a total of CNY4.995 million. Therefore, in terms of funds, the homestead compensation received by the relocated residents is sufficient to purchase a new homestead in Dongfengyakou. 68

127. Costs for house building. The compensation standard for house demolition in this project is set at the replacement price. The prices of the main houses of brick- concrete, brick-wood, and wood structures are CNY860/m2, CNY700/m2, and CNY550/m2, respectively. In addition, about 5% of the compensation investment for the main house will be used to compensate the house decoration fee; and 5% of the compensation investment for the main house will be compensated as a subsidy for auxiliary facilities that cannot be moved. The final compensation amount for the main house of brick-concrete, brick-wood, and wood structure is CNY946/m2, CNY770/m2, and CNY605/m2, respectively.

128. While the local farmers in Nayong build new houses with brick-concrete structure, the current contract price for labor and materials is about CNY950/m2; and the construction and refurbishment of houses, excluding building material costs, is about CNY300/m2. Therefore, the compensation received by farmers for house demolition is sufficient to allow them to build new houses in Dongfengyakou. In addition, most of the old houses are in disrepair; and the terrain is too remote to travel. The Youzhafang Group in Yaoyan Village now only lives in one family, and the others are working in other places. After demolition, they will not come back and rebuild at the same site. Therefore, the APs are expecting to start house demolition earlier and move into new houses soon.

Figure 5-1: Affected Houses in the Reservoir Area

129. Relocation. This Project provides a relocation allowance of CNY1,500/person and a relocation insurance of CNY60/person for the relocated farmers. Because properties of farmer families are relatively less and the demolition site is not far from Dongfengyakou, farmer families can be resettled. If the farmer hires a car to relocate, the relocation allowance is CNY1,500 per capita and CNY6,000/HH is enough for farmers to move to the new home.

5.3.4 House Building for the Vulnerable Groups 130. According to relevant policies, for the APs whose main house compensation fee is not enough to build a basic house of 25 m2 per capita of brick-concrete structure, the investment is calculated according to the compensation standard of 25 m2 per capita of brick-concrete structure. According to the calculation of HHs, a total of CNY4.2965 million of assistance funds will be needed.

5.3.5 Public Facilities 131. In addition, for the scattered resettlement farmers (i.e., moving out from original village), the local government provides supporting public facilities such as electricity, water, culture, education, and sanitation. The relevant standards are as follows:

(i) Electricity standard. For decentralized resettlement, transformers are generally not equipped separately; and residents’ electricity is connected to existing local facilities, and daily electricity consumption is controlled at 4 kW/HH. If expansion is needed, the expansion cost shall be calculated. (ii) Water standard. The water quality must meet the relevant regulations of the Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water (GB5749-2006). The standard for domestic water use is "full-day water supply, indoor water supply, drainage facilities, and complete sanitation facilities." The maximum daily dosage per person is 150 L. (iii) Capacity increasing of schools and medical sites. Because the resettlement of the APs will put pressure on local schools and medical sites, it is necessary to consider increasing the capacity of schools and medical sites in the resettlement area. According to the analysis and calculation of relevant data, referring to the standards of other projects under construction in Guizhou Province, the capacity increase fee is calculated at CNY500 per capita, which will be uniformly arranged and used by the Nayong County People’s Government. (iv) Other infrastructures. The principle is to use the existing local facilities; if the capacity is insufficient, increase the capacity through transformation, expansion, etc.; and include the capacity increase investment.

5.3.6 Relocation Timeline and Allowance for Transitional Period

132. The relocation work will be carried out from October 2020 to September 2021. Nayong County will complete the relocation of the first batch of direct resettlement and start the construction of corresponding infrastructure and special facilities. In October 2021, Nayong County will start the second batch of relocation work; and start or continue the construction of corresponding infrastructure and special facilities. By the end of December 2022, the bottom cleaning of the reservoir will be completed; and the relocation and resettlement of all APs will be completed. The demolition and relocation under this Project adheres to the principle of "building first, demolishing later", but the transitional period compensation fee of CNY1,200/person is provided.

5.4. Restoration of Temporary Land Occupation

133. The Pingshan Reservoir and Water Transfer Facilities in Nayong County Component will temporarily occupy a total of 621.64 mu farmland, including 188.52 mu irrigated land, 278.36 mu dryland, 0.18 mu orchard land, and 154.58 mu woodland. Treatment measures will be according to the method and year of land slot use. For temporarily acquired farmland, it is planned to be fully restored to farmland, with associated water conservancy facilities and field roads. During the farmland occupation period, compensation is made on yearly basis according to the period of year and quantity of acquired farmland and standard of output value per mu. That is, the farmland per mu will be compensated with 1 time of the output value per mu. For temporarily occupied woodland, except the compensation for ground attachments and forest vegetation restoration fees, farming in woodland shall be environment-friendly

and taken with water and soil conservation measures. The project owners shall engage to get vegetations restored. Details are shown in the Table 5-6.

Table 5-3: List of Restoration Outcomes of the Temporary Occupied Land under the Pingshan Reservoir Component

Temporary Land Planned Occupation Restored Restoration No. Type of Land Area (mu) Area (mu) (%) 1 Farmland 466.88 466.88 100%

5.5. Measures for Women’s Development

134. During the RP preparation, women in the project-affected area actively participated in the project impact survey, which invited their ideas on the livelihood restoration program. Women are in favor of project construction, believing that reservoir construction help adjust the industrial structure and improve their livelihoods; and they would like to get trainings on project-generated jobs, cash compensation, crop cultivation, fruit tree cultivation, etc.

135. According to the project design information, during project construction, the average number of construction workers is 300 persons/day, of which 70% is non- skilled workers; that is, 210 persons/day; and the average pay is CNY150/day. In response to women’s wishes, a total of 4,650 jobs will be generated during project implementation. The project management office (PMO) will ensure that the affected women (at least 30% of the unskilled workers) get unskilled jobs.

136. The training institutions affiliated to the Nayong County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau give regular training courses for women, such as knitting, beauty salons, catering services, room service, and housekeeping services. Priority is given to the affected female labor force in technical training and other aspects, so that women can master certain vocational skills and facilitate their self-employment or employment in the service industry. It is estimated that the total number of training in this project is 500 person-times, of which female labor force is not less than 250 person-times (about 50%).

5.6. Measures for Vulnerable Groups

137. According to the survey, among the APs upon preliminary analysis, 68 HHs and 286 people are national target for poverty alleviation, among which 55 HHs and 234 people are from Wenchang Sub-district; and 13 HHs and 52 people from Zongling Town. In addition, among them, there are 8 HHs and 20 people under the MLG. According to the Regulations on the Minimum Living Guarantee for Rural Residents in Guizhou Province (Qian Fu Ban Fa [2010] No. 16), the MLG families can enjoy the minimum living security in rural areas; and civil affairs departments can provide differential subsidies. For example, if the standard line of the poor people in Nayong in 2020 is CNY3,972 per year, then the monthly minimum living security fee will be made up to CNY311 per person per month. On the other hand, based on the basic security funds for eligible rural recipients with special difficulties, subsidies will be increased quarterly at the rate of not less than 20% of the local rural subsistence allowance standard every year.

138. In addition, in the process of project implementation, dynamic management is implemented for disadvantaged population. If other affected families experience the changes of the family member structure, employment status of the labor force, the ownership of family resources, as well as other objective conditions, they can be identified as vulnerable groups upon information investigation at the civil affairs authority. Once they are identified as vulnerable, special assistance will also be given by the project implementation agency during the resettlement process.

139. The vulnerable groups in this Project are mainly the poor. To complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way at the same time with the rest of the country, Guizhou has issued the "1+10" document to promote targeted poverty alleviation and make every effort to promote poverty alleviation. At the same time, the Implementation Opinions on Promoting Targeted Poverty Alleviation for The Benefit of Social Security were issued, aiming to eliminate all the poor people out of poverty by 2020. Currently, poverty alleviation projects are being implemented at the national level. Specific measures are as follows: (i) industrial poverty alleviation and increased loans to poor households. For those who develop poverty alleviation industries such as livestock, tea, medicine, vegetables, and fruit; and promote employment by starting their own businesses, the maximum credit can reach CNY500,000; (ii) to realize dynamic medical insurance coverage for the registered poor, Guizhou provided a standard subsidy of CNY100 per person per year in 2019, which will be increased to CNY120 per person per year in 2020; (iii) ecological migration and poverty alleviation relocation; and (iv) take action to alleviate poverty and improve the social security system. Therefore, at present, the poor people in Guizhou have basically “no need to worry two things and are entitled to three guarantees": no need to worry about the food and clothes; and are entitled to compulsory education, basic medical care, and housing security.

140. In addition, the PMO also made the following decisions for vulnerable groups: (i) the PMO and the village committees will use the reserve fund for assistance to vulnerable groups as appropriate (for car renting, hiring, sending warmth in winter, etc.); (ii) vulnerable groups will be given priority to obtain employment opportunities or other livelihood restoration measures provided by the construction unit of the project; (iii) the PMO and village committees will help build the new home; and (iv) for the AHs whose compensation for brick-concrete structure does not reach the standard of 25 m2 per capita for the principal house, the difference shall be subsidized according to the standard of 25 m2 per capita for the principal house of brick-concrete structure.

5.7. Affected Special Facilities

141. The LA under the Pingshan Reservoir project involves special facilities, including sidewalks, tractor roads, road-breaking works, and power transmission and transformation facilities. According to relevant national policies and regulations, combined with the rural resettlement plan, the industrial development plan, and the plan proposed by relevant specialized departments of Nayong County, in accordance with the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Engineering Construction Land Acquisition and Resettlement Planning and Design Code (SL290-2009), incorporating three principles, the plan for restoration and reconstruction of special facilities affected by the LA for the Pingshan Reservoir project will be prepared.

5.8. Post Resettlement Assistance Measures

142. In accordance with the relevant provisions in the Regulations on Land Acquisition Compensation and Resettlement of Medium and Large -sized Water Conservancy and Hydropower Projects and the Opinions of the State Council on Improving the Post Resettlement Assistance Policies for Relocation of Medium- and Large-sized Reservoirs, the 333 relocated people affected by the project construction will be supported in the post-resettlement period. The post resettlement assistance will further promote the economic and social development of the reservoir area and the resettlement area, ensure that the APs can restore their original production and livelihoods as soon as possible, and promote sustainable development of the APs. The assistance fund comes from the national specialized fund with CNY600 per person per year for a total of 20 years. Therefore, the total project assistance fund is CNY3.996 million. The post-resettlement assistance plan will be separately formulated by local governments, and start implementation upon the project completion and acceptance.

6.1.4 Resettlement Concerns and Feedbacks

147. During the project detailed design and RP updating period, the design institute, the Nayong County PMO, and local governments conducted extensive communication and consultations with the AHs and the APs. The topics covered compensation rates, resettlement standards, livelihood restoration measures, skills training, relocation sites, and other aspects related to restoration and resettlement. The APs’ views have been incorporated into the updated RP. It was found through many consultation activities that the main concerns of the APs are the compensation standards for the LA and house demolition; and the distribution of compensation funds, the resettlement population and resettlement methods for house relocation, and the post-resettlement support of reservoir APs. The Nayong County Reservoir and Resettlement Bureau, the Nayong County PMO, the affected township governments, and the village committees, through meetings with the AHs and public campaigns, explained to the APs that the project will strictly follow the relevant LA of the state, Guizhou Province, and Bijie City; implement the demolition policy; and ensure that all procedures are open and fair. The villagers are very supportive of the project. The main concerns of the APs and the project’s responses are shown in Table 6-3:

6.2. Grievance Redress Mechanism

149. In the process of implementation, due to the change of the actual situation and the deviation of operation, it is possible to cause the complaints of the APs. To ensure that the APs’ complaints can be solved in a timely and effective manner, the Nayong County PMO, the Nayong County Reservoir and Resettlement Bureau, and relevant units have set up the grievance redress mechanism (GRM) and informed the affected people through various channels.

In areas where the per capita land is small and it is impossible to guarantee that one household owns one homestead, the people's government at the county level may, on the basis of full respect for the wishes of villagers, take measures to ensure that villagers have their homes according to the standards set by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government. The construction of houses by villagers shall conform to the general land use planning and village planning of townships (towns). Permanent basic farmland shall not be occupied, and the original homestead and idle land in the village shall be used as far as possible. In drawing up the general land use plans and village plans of townships (towns), the land for homesteads shall be arranged as a whole and properly to improve the living environment and conditions of villagers. The use of residential land by villagers shall be examined and approved by the township (town) people's government; where the occupation of agricultural land is involved, the examination and approval procedures shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Article 44 of this law.

After the land requisition compensation and resettlement scheme is submitted to the municipal or county people's government for approval, the land administrative department of the municipal or county people's Government shall organize the implementation. If there is a dispute over the compensation standard, it shall be coordinated by the local people's government at or above the county level; if the coordination fails, the decision shall be made by the people's government that approved the requisition of land.

The municipal, county and township (town) people's governments shall strengthen supervision over the use of resettlement subsidies.

➢ Relevant Provisions of the Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and strict Land Management

3．We will improve the land acquisition compensation and resettlement system

(12) We will improve the compensation methods for land acquisition. The local people's governments at or above the county level should take practical measures to ensure that the living standards of land expropriated farmers will not be reduced due to land acquisition. It is necessary to ensure that land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies and compensation fees for attachments to the ground and young seedlings are paid in full and on time according to law. If the payment of land compensation and resettlement subsidies in accordance with the current laws and regulations can not make the land requisitioned farmers maintain their original living standards, and can not pay the social security expenses of landless farmers caused by land acquisition, the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government shall approve the increase of resettlement subsidies. If the sum of the land compensation fee and the resettlement subsidy reaches the legal upper limit, which is not enough to keep the original living standard of the land expropriated farmers, the local people's government can subsidize it with the income from the paid use of state-owned land. The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government should formulate and publish the unified annual output value standard or the comprehensive land price of each city and county. The land requisition compensation should be at the same price in the same place. The state key construction projects must include the land acquisition cost in full in the budget estimate. The standard of compensation for land requisition for the construction of large and medium-sized water conservancy and hydropower projects and the measures for resettlement shall be separately formulated by the State Council.

(13) Properly resettle the land expropriated farmers. The local people's governments at or above the county level shall formulate specific measures to ensure the long-term livelihood of land requisitioned farmers. For projects with stable income, farmers can take shares in the construction land use right approved according to law. In the urban planning area, the local people's government should incorporate the landless farmers into the urban employment system and establish a social security system; outside the

110

urban planning area, when expropriating the land collectively owned by farmers, the local people's government should reserve necessary cultivated land or arrange corresponding jobs for the expropriated farmers in the administrative area; if they do not have the basic production, the local people's government should include the peasants who have no land due to land requisition into the urban employment system and establish a social security system Landless peasants living conditions should be resettled in other places. The labor and social security departments shall, together with the relevant departments, put forward as soon as possible the guiding opinions on the establishment of the employment training and social security system for the land expropriated farmers.

(14) Improve land acquisition procedures. In the process of land acquisition, we should protect the rights and interests of farmers' collective land ownership and farmers' land contractual management rights. Before applying for approval in accordance with the law, the land and resources department shall inform the land expropriated farmers of the purpose, location, compensation standard and resettlement channels of the land to be expropriated; the investigation results on the current situation of the land to be requisitioned shall be confirmed by the rural collective economic organizations and farmers; if necessary, the land and resources department shall organize a hearing in accordance with the relevant provisions. The relevant materials that are known and confirmed by the land expropriated farmers should be regarded as the necessary materials for land requisition approval. It is necessary to speed up the establishment and improvement of the coordination and adjudication mechanism of land acquisition compensation and resettlement disputes and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of land expropriated farmers and land users. Except for special circumstances, the approved land acquisition shall be publicized.

(15) Strengthen the supervision of the implementation process of land acquisition. If the compensation and resettlement for land acquisition is not implemented, the land requisitioned shall not be used forcibly. The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government shall, in accordance with the principle that the land compensation fees are mainly used for the farmers whose land is requisitioned, formulate the allocation methods of land compensation fees within the rural collective economic organizations. The rural collective economic organizations that have been expropriated shall make known to the members of the collective economic organizations the income and expenditure and distribution of the compensation fees for land acquisition and accept supervision. Agricultural, civil affairs and other departments should strengthen the supervision of the allocation and use of land requisition compensation fees within rural collective economic organizations.

➢ Relevant Provisions of the Guidance on improving the Compensation and Resettlement System for Land Acquisition issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources

Article 1. Provisions on compensation standards for land acquisition

(2) Determine the multiple of unified annual output value. The unified annual output value multiple of land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy should be determined within the scope of legal provisions according to the principle of ensuring that the original living standard of land requisitioned farmers will not be reduced; the compensation and resettlement expenses for land acquisition calculated according to the statutory multiple of unified annual output value can not make the land expropriated farmers maintain their original living standards and can not pay the social security costs of landless farmers caused by land acquisition With the approval of the provincial 111

people's government, it should be increased by multiple; if the total amount of land compensation and resettlement subsidy is calculated as 30 times, which is not enough to maintain the original living standard of the land expropriated, the local people's Government shall make overall arrangements and set aside a certain proportion of the proceeds from the paid use of state-owned land to give subsidies. If the occupation of basic farmland is approved according to law, the compensation for land requisition shall be implemented according to the highest compensation standard announced by the local people's government.

(3) The formulation of comprehensive land price of land acquisition area. Where conditions permit, the Provincial Department of land and resources may, together with relevant departments, work out the comprehensive land price of land acquisition areas in each county (city) within the province, which shall be published and implemented after being approved by the provincial people's government to implement land acquisition compensation. The land type, output value, land location, agricultural land grade, per capita cultivated land quantity, land supply and demand relationship, local economic development level and the minimum living security level of urban residents should be taken into account in the formulation of comprehensive land price.

Article 2. "on the resettlement channels for land expropriated farmers" stipulates that:

(5) Agricultural production resettlement. To expropriate the collective land of farmers outside the urban planning area, we should make use of the rural collective mobile land, the contracted land returned voluntarily by the contracted farmers, the circulation of the contracted land and the newly increased cultivated land through land development and consolidation, so as to make the requisitioned farmers have the necessary cultivated land and continue to engage in agricultural production.

(6) Re employment and resettlement. We should actively create conditions to provide free labor skills training for land expropriated farmers and arrange corresponding jobs. Under the same conditions, the land use units should give priority to the employment of the land expropriated farmers. In order to expropriate the collective land of farmers in the urban planning area, the landless peasants should be included in the urban employment system and the social security system should be established.

(7) Share and dividend settlement. For the project land with long-term stable income, on the premise of the farmers' willingness, the rural collective economic organizations of the expropriated rural areas may, after consultation with the land-use units, buy into shares with the compensation and resettlement expenses for land acquisition, or acquire the shares at the price of the approved land use right for construction land. Rural collective economic organizations and farmers obtain income by way of preferred shares in contract.

(8) Resettlement in other places. If it is really impossible for this region to provide basic production and living conditions for landless farmers due to land acquisition, on the premise of fully soliciting the opinions of the rural collective economic organizations and farmers, the government can organize unified resettlement in different places.

Article 3 "procedures for land acquisition"

(9) Inform the land acquisition. Before applying for approval in accordance with the law, the local land and resources department shall inform the rural collective economic organizations and farmers in written form of the purpose, location, compensation standard and resettlement channels of the land to be expropriated. After being informed, no compensation will be made for the attachments and seedlings on the land 112

to be expropriated by the rural collective economic organizations and farmers who rush to plant, plant and build on the land to be expropriated.

(10) Confirm the survey results of land acquisition. The local land and resources department shall investigate the ownership, land type, area of the land to be expropriated, and the ownership, type and quantity of the property attached to the land, and the survey results shall be jointly confirmed with the land requisitioned rural collective economic organizations, farmers and the property owners of the above ground attachments.

(11) Organize land acquisition hearing. Before applying for approval in accordance with the law, the local land and resources department shall inform the rural collective economic organizations and farmers that they have the right to apply for hearing on the compensation standards and resettlement channels of the land to be requisitioned. If a party applies for a hearing, it shall organize a hearing in accordance with the procedures and relevant requirements specified in the provisions on land and resources hearing.
