- D-12-I - Dingzhou City WWTP Resettlement Plan

Executive Summary Dingzhou City WWTP will focus on industrial wastewater treatment, the goal of which is to treat domestic and industrial wastewater produced by phase 1 and 2 construction land. Dingzhou City WWTP Project is a subproject of Integrated Ecosystem and Water Resources Management in Baiyangdian Basin Project, which is funded by ADB. After the implementation of the project, it will greatly ameliorate the environment and water quality of this area, ensure the local people’s health, release the shortage of water resources through water reuse, and cut off the main pollution source in Baiyangdian which is convenient for the pollution control of the whole catchment. The Resettlement Plan is based on the feasibility study report, field survey and relevant information survey. During the detailed design, if there is any change of land acquisition scope and/or significant change of ground attachments, the resettlement plan will be revised and submitted to ADB for approval.

The Dingzhou City WWTP consists of a wastewater treatment plant project, an auxiliary wastewater collection and drainage system, and inside roads, with a gross investment estimation of CNY 105.411 million.

The project will last eight months from February 2008 to October 2008. According to project schedule and under the guidance of TA office, Dingzhou City Planning Bureau prepared resettlement plan in August 2006, and finished the RPs, modified and submitted it to ADB’s review before 31 January 2007. The land acquisition, compensation and resettlement plan to start in September 2007.

The compensation for land acquisition and resettlement is CNY6.276million which has been involved in the cost estimate, including CNY 2.905 million for permanent land acquisition, accounting for 46.29% of the total cost estimate; CNY 0.824 million for infrastructure and its subsidiaries, 13.13% of the total; CNY1.036 million for temporary land acquisition, 16.51% of the total; CNY 1.51 million for other fees, contingencies, 24.07% of the total.

In order to avoid or reduce the negative impacts of land acquisition, during the feasibility study phase, it is given more consideration and discussion with the affected villages and the APs. After comparing and optimizing, the best site scheme is selected--Dasitou Village, Zhao County southwest of Dingzhou City, with a land occupation area of 75mu.

The permanent land acquisition of the project is a waste brickfield which is waste grassland now. There is no people working or living there, thus, no population is affected. The temporary land acquisition of the project will affect farmland of 11 villages in Zhaocun Township with an affected population of 1,244 household with 5,425 persons. The project will also affect two seasons of crops. In addition, it will affect the trips of 2,272 workers in 7 enterprises; however, the impact will be tiny.

- D-12-II - Dingzhou City WWTP Resettlement Plan

This project will require 75 mu permanent land acquisition which is waste grassland. The temporary land for wastewater collection system is 214.36 mu of collective-owned land which is irrigated land. Further more, there is no ground appendix on the permanent occupied land for WWTP. Ground attachments affected by temporary land occupation are as follows: 191 tombs, 700m of communication cable, 5 vegetable greenhouses, 1,465 non-fruit mature trees, 18,160 non-fruit young trees, and 1,755 scattered fruit trees.

This Resettlement Plan is based on the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China (2004), State Council Circular on the Decisions of Deepening Reform and Administrating Land Strictly (Ref. No. GF [2004] 28), related policies of Hebei province and Baoding municipality, ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, and other relevant policies for social security. Also through negotiation with local government and APs, the principles for preparation of this Resettlement Plan are: (i) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized where feasible; (ii) Compensation and entitlements provided for the APs should be able to at least maintain, or improve their “pre-project” standard of living; (iii) No matter whether they have legal entitlements will All APs be compensated and assisted; (iv) 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; (v) 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; (vi) No land acquisition will take place unless replacement land or sufficient compensation are given to APs; (vii) The EA and independent/ third party will monitor compensation and resettlement operations; (viii) Vulnerable groups will receive special assistance or treatment to ensure then to better off. APs should have the opportunities to benefit from the Project; (ix) RP should be combined with overall county planning; (x) RP budget should be adequate and cover full aspects.

As to the permanent land acquisition, the land acquisition compensation includes land compensation fee and resettlement subsidies. The land acquisition compensation for the annual output value of irrigated land is CNY 2,421/mu, the compensation multiple is 16, in which land compensation multiple is 10 and resettlement multiple is 6.

According to the calculation, the affected village will receive CNY 2.905 million of the total compensation, including CNY 1.816 million of the land acquisition compensation fee, and CNY 1.089 million of resettlement subsidies. According to the agreement with the village committee and the villagers, the compensation fee for the collective-owned land acquisition and resettlement will be paid to the affected village and used for the construction of infrastructures, industrial structures adjustment, increasing farmer’s income and vulnerable groups support.

- D-12-III - Dingzhou City WWTP Resettlement Plan

Through different ways, such as, meetings, interviews and group discussions, public participations and negotiations within communities, all the affected persons (including 30% women) were informed of the key content of the resettlement plan. Villagers participated in the project and their opinions were included in the plan. The Resettlement Information Booklet and Resettlement Plan were handed out to the affected persons and villages in December 2006. The first draft of the Resettlement Plan was publicized on the ADB’s official website in March, 2007. The grievance redress channel has been established for the affected persons. Each relevant agency should process the complaint and grievance redress from the affected persons for free, and the reasonable fee resulted will be covered by the contingencies. Dingzhou City WWTP will work together with local labor security department on the resettlement training which includes pre-employment training and professional ability training. The construction of this project will create some certain temporary or semi-fixed construction work chances which include material transportation, earthwork project and food provision, etc. Labors in the affected households will be given the priority for taking part of the construction, working at the non-technical posts to increase their incomes and raising their living standard. When pipeline network construction starts, it will affect two seasons of crops. In accordance with the temporary land occupation scope and the affected standing crops, the affected village will receive the compensation fee as a whole, and then distribute the compensation fee to the APs. The project will adversely affect the crop production in both growth seasons. Therefore, during the installation of piping networks, the construction agency shall provide affected villages with compensation proportional to the area of temporary land acquisition and the amount of affected crops. The compensation, which shall be accounted in the project cost, will in turn be provided to affected households. The Implementation Agency shall provide compensation to the property owner(s) of affected infrastructures and ground attachments, which can be later reconstructed by the property owner. The PMO will give special help and arrangement to the vulnerable group, such as endowment insurance and lowest living guarantee, or work priority according to their competence.

Dingzhou City WWTP will be the implementing agency of the project. It will establish Resettlement Department to carry out the specific responsibility for implementation of the Resettlement Plan. In order to ensure that the Resettlement Plan will be carried out smoothly, Baoding Project Management Office (BPMO) will submit an internal monitoring report to ADB each quarter and meanwhile will entrust independent monitoring agency to conduct external monitoring and evaluation and submit the external monitoring reports to ADB and BPMO every six months during the resettlement implementation and submit annual evaluation reports as well within 2 years after the completion of resettlement implementation. The internal and external monitoring reports will be disclosed on ADB website. The monitoring and evaluation cost is included in the budget of the resettlement cost.

2 Project Impacts and Socioeconomic Status of the Project Area

2.1 Measures to Avoid or Minimize the Impacts of Land Acquisition

2.1.1 Project Design and Site-selection Principle

In the phase of project design, in consideration of minimizing the area of acquisition and resettlement, the main principles are:

- Avoid or reduce the occupation of the present and planning residential districts; - Avoid or reduce the occupation of high-quality cultivated land; - Utilize the existing roads available to the project site, either by the national ones or the local ones; - Avoid or reduce the occupation of the environmentally sensitive area.

2.1.2 Project Scheme Comparison

The project is based on comprehensive survey on reducing land acquisition and resettlement, as well as considering environment, implementation feasibility, the technology reliability, economy reasonability and of the key factors concerned such as the site-selection of WWTP and the wastewater treatment technology by comparing and optimizing the schemes. And then it is decided to select the land at Dasitou village Zhao County for the WWTP construction, which is at the southwest of Dingzhou City. Besides it is noted that it should avoid non-necessary land acquisition as possible when site-selection for stocks and wastes, as meanwhile it should inform the farmers ahead of time whose land was requisitioned to reduce their loss as less as possible.

2.2 Survey Measures and Process

During the preparation of this project, a series of consulting meeting have been held with local governments at all levels and village committees for the impact of project implementation, their opinions and perspectives have been paid more attention. In this RP we have considered all kinds of comments and issues concerned, to guarantee that the RP will be consistent with the development planning in the affected villages.

In August 2006, in order to know the impact condition and according to the requirement of ADB, Dingzhou City WWTP technicians and the resettlement plan design institute conducted surveys on various indexes of affected physical goods with the coordination of the cadres and villagers in affected villages and groups. An overall account was conducted on household basis. In the mean time, the survey was conducted door to door with all affected families (14 households), including family members, land acquisition impacts, family financial conditions and resettlement wills. The survey group also went deep into the village committee and village group and invited further opinions and proposals on the resettlement in form of conversation and negotiation participated by the

According to the temporary land occupation scheme, the main temporarily occupied land of the project is the areas used for construction of the auxiliary pipeline network and the WWTP. The total temporarily occupied state-owned land area is 214.36 mu, all of which is irrigated land, and the occupied period is 6 months, which will affect the crop production in both growth seasons. Refer to table 2-5 for the details of temporarily occupation.

The construction of the project will certainly affect 1224 household and 2272 workers in 7 enterprises, due to the wide breadth of the motor lane, using the existing drain, the implementation of pipeline will cause some impacts to near households and shops, and it is no need to widen the lane. In the mean time, the construction of the auxiliary pipeline network will be divided into several flexible parts. Each part lasts about one or two weeks. During the implementation, paving kinds of temporary paths and posting signs will be needed to reduce or minimize the impacts. The IA will compensate the households and shops along the lane for the impacts when the construction lasts longer than that of planned, the compensation standard is CNY 100/day, which has covered in contingencies.

2.5.3 Affected Population and Basic Economic Status

(1) Affected Population Affected population caused by the permanent collective-owned land acquisition

The requisitioned land was a waste brickfield and now is waste grassland. The land acquisition directly doesn’t affect persons, for there is no person to work or live on the land. ƒ Affected population caused by the temporarily occupied land

According to the temporary land occupation scheme, the main temporarily occupied land of the project is the areas used for construction of the auxiliary pipeline network, and main irrigated land. There will be temporary impacts on 11 villages in Zhao Village, 1,244 households with 5425 persons, the crop production in both growth seasons. It will also affect 2272 persons’ trips in 7 enterprises, the influence of which is minor. ƒ Loss of land and income

The permanent land acquisition: there are no farmers to work or live on the requisitioned land, so the loss of collective village and household does not exist.

The temporary land acquisition for pipeline network: According to the area of temporarily occupied land, the area of cultivated land in the affected villages and analysing of the average output value between 2003 to 2006, the per capita loss of incomes are all less than CNY 200, there are 6 villages which per capita loss of income is between CNY 100 and CNY 200, accounting for 54.5%; and in 5 villages (45.5%) the per capita loss of income is less than CNY 100. in all villages the per capita loss of income is less than CNY 200 except Dasitou village which is more than CNY 800.

3 Legal Framework and Policies

3.1 Applicable Laws, Regulations & Policies for Resettlement

The resettlement policies of this project are mostly based on ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB)’s policies and relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, including:

ADB Policies and Guidelines - Involuntary Resettlement, Asia Development Bank (ADB), Manila. 1995; - Handbook on Resettlement: A Guide to Good Practice, ADB Manila, 1998; - Gender Checklist: Involuntary Resettlement, ADB Manila, February 2003; - OM Section F2 —Operations Manual: Bank Policies (BP) and Operational Procedures (OP), ADB, Manila，2006.

No.GF[2004]28) - Provisions of Public Hearings on Land and Resources (MLR, effective as of 1 May 2004) - Guiding Opinions on Improving Compensation and Rehabilitation System for Land Acquisition (No. 238 Decree and issued by Ministry of Land and Resources in 2004) (Ref.

3.2 ADB Policies

The three important elements of involuntary resettlement of ADB are: (i) compensation for lost assets and loss of livelihood and income: (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services: and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it. Some or all of these elements may be present in projects involving involuntary resettlement. For any project that requires involuntary resettlement, resettlement should be an integral part of project design and should be dealt with from the earliest stages of the project cycle, taking into account the following basic principles:

- D-12-15 - Dingzhou City WWTP Resettlement Plan

(i) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible. (ii) Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by exploring all viable project options. (iii) Replacing what is lost. If individuals or a community must lose all or part of their land, means of livelihood, or social support systems, so that a project might proceed, they will be compensated and assisted through replacement of land, housing, infrastructure, resources, income sources, and services, in cash or kind, so that their economic and social circumstances will be at least restored to the pre-project level. All compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost. (iv) Each involuntary resettlement is conceived and executed as part of a development project or program. ADB and executing agencies or project sponsors, during project preparation, assess opportunities for rehabilitation measures, the affected people need to be provided with sufficient resources and opportunities to reestablish their livelihoods and homes as soon as possible, with time-bound action in coordination with the civil works. (v) The affected people are to be fully informed and closely consulted. Affected people are to be consulted on compensation and/or resettlement options, including relocation sites, and socioeconomic rehabilitation. Pertinent resettlement information is to be disclosed to the affected people at key points, and specific opportunities provided for them to participate in choosing, planning, and implementation options. Grievance redress mechanisms for affected people are to be established. Where adversely affected people are particularly vulnerable groups, resettlement planning decisions will be preceded by a social preparation phase to enhance their participation in negotiation, planning and implementation. (vi) Social and cultural institutions. Institutions of the affected people, and, where relevant, of their hosts, are to be protected and supported. Affected people are to be assisted to integrate economically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on the host communities are minimized and social harmony is promoted. (vii) No formal title. Indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, pastoralists, people who claim for such land without formal legal rights, and others, who may have usufruct or customary rights to affected land or other resources, often have no formal legal title to their lands. The absence of a formal legal title to land is not a bar to ADB policy entitlements. (viii) Confirmation of eligibility. Affected people are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in order to establish their eligibility through a population record or census that serves as an eligibility cutoff date, preferably at the project identification stage, to prevent a subsequent influx of encroachers or others who wish to take advantage of such benefits. (ix) The Poorest. Particular attention must be paid to the needs of the poorest affected people, and vulnerable groups that may be at high risk of impoverishment. This may include those without legal title to land or other assets, households headed by females, the elderly or disabled and, other vulnerable groups, particularly indigenous peoples. Appropriate assistance must be provided to help them improve their socio-economic status. (x) The full resettlement costs are to be included in the presentation of project costs and

- D-12-16 - Dingzhou City WWTP Resettlement Plan benefits. This includes costs of compensation, relocation and rehabilitation, social preparation and livelihood programs as well as the incremental benefits over the without-project situation (which is included in the presentation of project costs and benefits). The budget also includes costs for planning, management, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, land taxes, land fees, and physical and price contingencies. Where loans include subprojects, components or investments prepared only after project approval and loans through financial intermediaries that are likely to cause involuntary resettlement, sufficient contingency allowance must be allocated for resettlement prior to approval of the loan. Similarly, resettlement plans should also reflect the timeframe for resettlement planning and implementation. (xi) Eligible costs of compensation. Relocation and rehabilitation may be considered for inclusion in ADB loan financing for the project, if requested, to assure timely availability of the required resources and to ensure compliance with involuntary resettlement procedures during implementation.

3.3 China’s Laws, Regulations and Relevant Articles

In this subproject, Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China is the major legal basis. Relevant regulations and policies as presented in Section 3.1 of this chapter have also been enacted by the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Hebei Provincial Government. Refer to Table 3-1 for the main articles related with project resettlement policies.

State Council Circular on the Decisions of Deepening Reform and Administrating Land Strictly (State Council [2004] No. 28, effective as of 21 October 2004) (Ref. No.GF[2004]28) defines further the principles of compensation for land acquisition and resettlement, compensation standard, land acquisition procedures and monitoring system. Correspondingly, Ministry of Land and Resources issued Guiding Opinions on Improving Compensation and Rehabilitation System for Land Acquisition (No. 238 Decree and issued by Ministry of Land and Natural Resources in 2004) (Ref. No.GTZF[2004]238) and Circular on implementation opinions of Deepening Reform and Administrating Land Strictly (Document 151 in 2004, Hebei provincial people’s government) (JZ[2004]151) was issued by Hebei Province.

8 Resettlement Implementation Plan

8.1 Principles of Resettlement Implementation

According to the plan of the project implementation of Dingzhou City WWTP, this project will begin in February, 2008, and will be finished by October, 2008．To connect the plan of resettlement implementation progress with that of project construction, the land acquisition will finish in December, 2007. The basic principles for resettlement implementation plan are as follows:

- The land acquisition must be finished at least one month prior to the start of project construction; the actual date should be decided by the implementation process of land acquisition and resettlement. - Those affected persons should have the opportunity to participate in the project during the process of resettlement. Before the start of the project construction, the area of land acquisition should be made known to the public, the resettlement information booklet should be issued, and that the public can participate in the related work should be ensured. - All kinds of compensation should be paid directly and fully to the property owner within three months after the approval of land acquisition compensation and resettlement plan. No unit or individual can use the compensation fee on behalf of the property owner. And there should be no discount for the compensation, whatever the reason is.

8.2 Timetable for Resettlement Implementation

The plan for the general resettlement implementation progress of this project is worked out according to the land acquisition implementation progress in the project construction of Dingzhou City WWTP. There may be appropriate modification of the exact implementation time due to the deviation of the project general progress. Refer to Table 8-1 for the resettlement implementation time.
