Download 288.53 KB APPENDIX D-0: Summary Draft Resettlement Plan 1. Introduction The Integrated Ecosystem Management and Environmental Protection of the Baiyangdian Lake Catchment Project comprises seven categories including 22 subprojects: (i) wastewater treatment (13 subprojects); (ii) water supply (3 subprojects); (iii) reforestation (2 subprojects); (iv) water resources reallocation (1 subproject); (v) watershed rehabilitation (1 subproject); (vi) clean energy (1 subproject) and (vii) flood control (1 subproject). Among the 22 subprojects, there are 17 subprojects involving some land acquisition and resettlement impacts. The IAs, with the assistance from design institutes, have prepared 3 full resettlement plans (RPs) and 14 short resettlement plans (RPs), which have been prepared based on ADB procedures and requirements. Table 2.1 provides more details. All affected persons (APs) will be eligible for compensation and assistance. The Baoding Municipal Government issued an announcement about the eligibility cut-off date for compensation and assistance, which is effective as of 31st March,2007. Once the detailed drawing of each subproject is finalized, the RPs will be updated if necessary to reflect any design changes. 2.

Having consulted local governments and affected persons, the project implementing agencies (IAs) adopted a set of compensation standards based on the replacement cost and general practice in the project districts and counties. The resettlement principles established for the Project are: - Involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized where feasible; - Compensation and entitlements provided for the APs should be able to at least maintain, or improve their “pre-project” standard of living; - No matter whether they have legal entitlements will All APs be compensated and assisted; - Where land per capita after land acquisition is not sufficient to maintain livelihood, compensation by cash or through land replacement and other income-generating activities will provided for; - All APs will be adequately informed on eligibility, compensation mode and standards, livelihood and income restoration plans, project timing, and will be involved in RP implementation; - No land acquisition will take place unless replacement land or sufficient compensation are given to APs; - The EA and independent/ third party will monitor compensation and resettlement operations; - Vulnerable groups will receive special assistance or treatment to ensure then to better off. APs should have the opportunities to benefit from the Project; - RP should be combined with overall county/city/district planning; - RP budget should be adequate and cover full aspects. For land acquisition, land compensation fee will be paid to the affected village committees and village committees will choose the best way to use the compensation fee through discussion with APs and the other villagers. The resettlement subsidies due to land loss will be paid directly to affected households. Compensation for young crops, auxiliaries, and other assets will be paid directly to their owners. Compensation for the loss of residential housing and enterprises will be paid directly to the owners and will be based on the agreements signed with them as provided in the component RPs. The payments will be made in cash according to the appraised value of the property. 3. Resettlement Impacts Local officials, affected village leaders and APs were closely consulted during the feasibility study stage in order to try to avoid or minimize land acquisition and resettlement through scheme selection, and the optimized option among the alternatives was recommended. The proposed Project will affect 41 villages in 1 development zone, 3 county-levelled cities and 11 counties of Baoding Municipality (see Table 3.1). In total, 4,508 persons in 1,042 households will be affected directly by land acquisition and/or house demolition, and 4,397.8 mu of land, of which 1,070.26 mu is classified as cultivated land, will be permanently requisitioned. Among the permanently requisitioned land, 867.135mu is basic farmland. In addition, 2,166.742 mu of land will be occupied temporarily during the - D-0-3 - construction phase. Houses to be demolished as individual residential building will be 2,299.08 m2. Nine Enterprises will be affected with house demolition of 2,783.44m2. - D-0-4 - Table 3.1 Summary of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts Villages Of Which, Resettlement Enterprises' Project Affected by Permanent Temporary Households Resettlement Cost Name of Affected Affected Houses Affected Houses Cost Type No. Permanent Land Land Affected by Cost Estimate/Project Project Households(HHs) Persons(APs) Demolition(m2) Enterprises Affected Estimate Land Acquisition(mu) Occupation(mu) House Estimate(CNY) Cost Estimate (m2) (CNY) Acquisition Demolition(HHs) (%) Total 22 41 4397.800 2166.742 1042 4508 13 2299.08 9 2783.44 378,847,220 2,027,401,000 18.69 A 13 WWTP 15 481.19 814.94 220 1006 5 1101.58 6 2783.44 35,764,420 826,550,000 4.33 1 Liushi Town WWTP 1 38.00 40.30 14 97 2,019,000 54,769,000 3.69 Baigou Town 2 2 30.00 66.70 5 25 5 1101.58 4 2423.44 6,126,270 61,242,000 10.00 WWTP 3 Li County WWTP 1 44.14 50.22 31 105 1 120 2,385,500 73,938,000 3.23 Xushui County 4 1 56.62 28.07 31 148 3,170,400 72,667,000 4.36 WWTP Xinxing Town 5 1 41.38 17.90 12 77 1 240 2,279,800 62,910,000 3.62 WWTP Anxin County 6 26,652,000 WWTP 7 Yi County WWTP 4 31.93 106.16 51 213 1,941,400 59,945,000 3.24 Dingxing County 8 1 56.115 170.35 7 38 4,248,600 85,325,000 4.98 WWTP Dingzhou City 9 1 75.00 214.36 6,276,340 105,411,000 5.95 WWTP Mancheng County 10 1 45.00 65.34 41 182 3,632,310 73,669,000 4.93 WWTP Xiong County 11 1 23.00 49.59 15 61 1,371,300 42,459,000 3.23 WWTP Tang County 12 1 40.00 5.95 13 60 2,313,500 48,984,000 4.72 WWTP Wenquancheng 13 58,579,000 WWTP B 3 WSP 4 35.52 154.10 58 228 2,423,500 150,942,000 1.61 Yi County Water 14 2 12.64 115.41 27 125 918,900 48,319,000 1.90 Supply Project Xiong County Water 15 2 22.88 38.69 31 103 1,504,600 31,910,000 4.72 Supply Project Dingzhou City 16 Water Supply 70,713,000 Project C 2 Reforestation 74,291,000 Reforestation for 17 Angezhuang 53,913,000 Reservoir Project Baiyangdian Lakeside 18 20,378,000 Reforestation Project - D-0-5 - Villages Of Which, Resettlement Enterprises' Project Affected by Permanent Temporary Households Resettlement Cost Name of Affected Affected Houses Affected Houses Cost Type No.

  • Religious Repression in China Persists
    April 27, 1992 Volume 4, Number 11 RELIGIOUS REPRESSION IN CHINA PERSISTS A new list of religious prisoners from Hebei indicates that the crackdown on religious freedom in that northeastern province is continuing. As noted in an earlier Asia Watch report,1 not only do a considerable percentage of China's Catholics live in Hebei, but many of those who do maintain their loyalty to the Pope, eschewing ties with the "official" Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association. Beginning in 19892 and intensifying over the past two years, officials from the highest levels of Party and government have directed a determined effort to root out these "underground" bishops, priests and laypersons, maintaining that their responsibility for "hostile infiltration from abroad" threatens the motherland. At the same time, Chinese officials have gone to considerable lengths to publicize the releases of those who they say have broken the law, but have truly repented.3 The newest information severely undermines Chinese assertions of leniency. The pattern of arrests and trials established in Hebei in 1989 continues, and alleged releases are not releases at all. Asia Watch has been informed, for example, that two bishops, Paul Liu Shuhe and Peter Chen Jianzhang are being held against their will. The Chinese authorities insist that the bishops were never accused of wrongdoing and that they have been freed and are now being cared for in "old-age homes." However, 1Freedom of Religion in China, January 1992. 2See Central Office Document No.3, Circular on Stepping Up Control Over the Catholic Church to Meet the New Situation, February 17, 1989.
