Foreword
I. Purpose of preparing this resettlement action plan
1 The resettlement action plan (RAP) is prepared in accordance with the applicable laws of the People’s Republic of China and local regulations and a series of provisions in the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 Involuntary Resettlement for the purpose of “developing an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project”.
II. Definitions of terms
Displaced persons
2 Based on the criteria for eligibility for compensation, “Displaced Persons” may be classified in one of the following three groups: a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets—provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan; and c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 3 Persons covered under paragraphs 2(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance. Persons covered under paragraph 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objectives set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date established by the borrower and acceptable to the World Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in paragraph 2(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land.
Compensation and resettlement measures
4 To address the following impacts of the involuntary taking of land: (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, a resettlement plan or a resettlement policy framework shall be prepared to cover the following:
(a) The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are:
(i) informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement;
(ii) consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and
(iii) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost1, for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.
1 "Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account.

(b) If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are:
(i) provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and
(ii) provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site.
(c) Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that displaced persons are:
(i) offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living;
(ii) provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in paragraph 4(a)(iii), such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. 5 Cut-off date: means the date of publication of the bulletin of land acquisition and relocation in this project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their houses; shall not change the uses of their houses and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their houses; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person.

i Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
Overview of the Project
Purpose The purpose of the World Bank Financed Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”) is to improve the water quality of the Liujiang River by constructing sewage systems for Sanjiang, Rongshui, Rong’an and Liucheng Counties, Liuzhou Municipality, further improving the sewage systems of the urban area of Liuzhou, and conducting institutional development and capacity building for Liuzhou Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd. The rapid urbanization of the seats of the 4 counties in the upper Liujiang River has led to water quality deterioration, so the Project is important not only for improving the water quality of the Liujiang River, but also for maintaining the water quality improvement of the urban area resulting from the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 1). The Project involves the construction of a sludge disposal plant, the Suburb Drainage Project, and two sewage treatment plants in the urban area, and equipment purchasing for the sewage treatment plants of the 4 county towns. The planned implementation period of the Project is from 2009 to 20192, in which submission for approval, engineering design and bidding for the Project will be completed during 2008 and 2009, the construction period will commence in 2009, and the whole Project will be put into operation by 2019. Project Composition and Resettlement Impacts The Project involves the construction of a sludge disposal plant (this subproject will be built on an open space of Yufeng Cement Mill, and does not involve resettlement, for which OP4.12 does not apply), the Suburb Drainage Project and two sewage treatment plants, and equipment purchasing for 4 sewage treatment plants. The Project involves one city (Liuzhou City), two districts (Liudong New District and Liubei District), 4 counties (Sanjiang, Rongshui, Rong’an and Liucheng Counties), 6 townships and 6 villages. In addition, through careful identification, the garbage landfill construction projects of Sanjiang, Rongshui, Rong’an and Liucheng Counties are related to the Project. The Project will occupy 2,872.964 mu of land in total (the 4 related garbage landfill projects occupy 713.02 mu of land), in which the Sewage Treatment Project will occupy 2,159.944 mu of land, including 617.154 mu of land permanently and 1,542.79 mu of land temporarily. In the permanently occupied land, there is 161.405 mu of state-owned land, including 12.06 mu occupied by the Guantang sewage treatment plant, 7.99 mu by the Sanjiang sewage treatment plant, 1.125 mu by the Rongshui sewage treatment plant ,66.6 mu by the Rong’an sewage treatment plant , 62.85 mu by the Liucheng sewage treatment plant and 10.78 mu by the Suburb Drainage Project; 455.749 mu of rural collective land will be occupied permanently, in which the Shatang Sewage Treatment Subproject and the Suburb Drainage Project will occupy 41.96 mu of land, the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject 319.26 mu, the Sanjiang Sewage Treatment Subproject 16.219 mu, the Rongshui Sewage Treatment Subproject 72.45 mu, and the Liucheng Sewage Treatment Subproject 5.86 mu. The pipelines account primarily for the temporarily occupied land, and will occupy 1,520.1 mu of state-owned land and 22.69 mu of collective land. In addition, the Project involves the demolition of business premises of 1,167.21 m2 in total. The scope and main resettlement impacts of the Project are detailed in Table 0-1. The state- owned land occupied by the Liucheng Sewage Treatment Subproject will be detailed in Appendix 6.

Progress of project and RAP preparation In August 2008, the proposal for the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project was approved by the Liuzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission (Document LDRC Investment [2008] No.276-279). Afterwards, the employers of the subprojects entrusted the Central and South China Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute (CSCMEDRI) to prepare the feasibility study report of the Project. In June 2009, the World Bank mission identified the Project. On this basis, the employers of the subprojects entrusted the CSCMEDRI to prepare modify the feasibility study report, and the preparation of the Resettlement Plan and Environmental Impact Assessment Report of the Project was started. Thanks to the careful planning of the Management Office of the World Bank Financed Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Liuzhou PMO”) and the joint effort of the employers of the subprojects and the design agency, the Project has been prepared and progressing successfully. Entrusted by the Liuzhou PMO, Hohai University completed the field 3 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) resettlement survey of the Project in July 2009 as the preparation agency of the Resettlement Plan, prepared the General Resettlement Report and the draft resettlement plans for the Sanjiang, Liucheng, Guantang, Rongshui and Shatang Sewage Treatment Subprojects, and the Suburb Drainage Project on this basis, and revised the first drafts according to the inputs of the World Bank mission to generate this report for the World Bank mission’s review. The progress of project and RAP preparation is shown in Table 0-2. Since Guantang area of Liudong New District is the service range of the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject, the Liuzhou PMO has conducted resettlement due diligence on the resettlement activities that have been implemented in this area (12km2 in the near term) as required by the World Bank, prepared a resettlement due diligence report (see Appendix 3) and performed a policy review (see Appendix 4 of the resettlement activities to be carried out in this area in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of the displaced persons in Guantang area practically, and give full play to the benefits of the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject. The Liuzhou PMO has reviewed the resettlement activities of the Rong’an sewage treatment plant whose land acquisition has been completed (see Appendxi 5).

Measures to reduce resettlement At the project planning and design stage, the design agency optimized and compared different options to take the impacts of the Project on the local society and economy into account as much as possible. Where land occupation is unavoidable, barren land, flood land and unused state-owned land is occupied where possible to reduce farmland occupation; where house demolition is unavoidable, the amount of demolition is minimized by optimizing construction schemes. This was taken as a key factor in option optimization and comparison. The measures to reduce resettlement impacts are shown in Table 0-3.

The company occupies 5.9 mu of land and has a building area of 1,044.63 m2. As at February 28, 2009, the company’s total assets were 6.1248 million yuan and net assets 3.935 million yuan. In 2008, its main business income was 6.014 million yuan and net profit 187,300 yuan. There were formerly 22 temporary workers, who were local farmers mainly and paid 700-800 yuan a month. The company was out of production at the end of 2008. In the Project, its main business premises in masonry-concrete structure will be demolished. Dazhu Village sand yard: This plant is located in Sanjiaodu, Dazhu Village, Guyi Town, and is a small private plant specializing in river sand mining. It occupies collective land contracted by individuals, with a floor area of 1,018 m2 (1.53 mu). The sand yard has an annual output value of 62,000 yuan and a net profit of 49,000 yuan. This plant has 6 temporary workers and one equipment attendant, all being local farmers paid 800-900 yuan a month. In the Project, its attendance room in masonry-concrete structure will be demolished, its relevant production equipment removed, and its land for production occupied. Dazhu Village oil mill: This plant is located in Sanjiaodu, Dazhu Village, Guyi Town, and is a domestic workshop run by 4 rural households. It was existent before liberation and deals mainly with rape oil processing. This plant occupies collective land contracted by individuals, with a floor area of 204.18m2 (0.306 mu), including a building area of 100.58m2. It has an annual output value of 45,000 yuan and an annual profit of 39,000 yuan. Since the oil extraction season has not come, it is out of production temporarily. This plant’s workforce comes from labor of the 4 rural households, and there is no employee. In the Project, its land for production will be acquired and its main business premises demolished. The conditions of the affected enterprises are shown in Table 0-5. Table 0-5 Key economic indicators of affected enterprises

Socioeconomic profile of affected ethnic minorities Two subprojects involve minority autonomous counties, which are Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County and Rongshui Miao Autonomous County. The socioeconomic conditions of the affected ethnic minorities are as follows: The dominant ethnic minority in Guyi Town, Sanjiang County served by the Sanjiang sewage treatment plant is Dong. The Dong people use the Dong language, which belongs to the Chinese- Tibetan family, and is divided into a south and a north dialect. There was formerly no written language and Chinese was used. In 1958, a Latin-style written Dong language proposal was designed. Most Dong people use Chinese today. They believe in multiple gods and worship natural objects, such as ancient trees, boulders, wells and bridges. Their festivals include the Spring Festival, Ox God Worship 26 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
Festival (lunar April 8 or June 6) and New Food Festival (in lunar July) mainly. Thanks to inter-ethnic intercourse, the Dong people also celebrate the Tomb-sweeping Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid- autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, etc. The living habits of Dong people are largely identical with those of Han people, and their diet is sour and peppery mainly. They have no difference from Han people in crops grown, planting method and agricultural income. Inter-ethnic relations are harmonious. In addition, no Dong village is involved in the Project, the Dong culture will not be affected. The Resettlement Planning Team has learned from interview that Dazhu Village has 3,605 people out of 860 households, including 363 minority people out of 231 households, 10.07% of total population. Many minority people and women work outside, and there is no difference between Han and ethnic minorities in income and education. The per capita arable area in the affected area is less than 0.3 mu, where 90% of income is earned by employment, especially in the building area with per capita income of about 2,600 yuan/year. It can be seen that the local minority population is no longer dependent on land, and has changed greatly in production pattern and lifestyle. The dominant ethnic minority in Rongshui Town, Rongshui County served by the Rongshui sewage treatment plant is Miao. However, since the population involved in this project is outskirts, the proportion of the Miao population is low relative to Han people. The town has a population of 89,712, including 9,720 Miao people (10.83%). The local Miao and Han people have largely identical living habits and per capita income (about 3,000 yuan/year). Xiakuo Village affected by the Project is composed mostly of Han people, with few minority people, who are mainly women married to this village and have been fused completely into Han families’ life.

Key principles According to the above policy framework, the purpose of the Project’s resettlement policies is to minimize the negative impacts arising from land acquisition and house demolition. The properties of those adversely affected4 will be compensated for at replacement cost5, and they will be offered assistance so that they have adequate opportunities to restore or exceed the pre-displacement standard of living. The key principles are as follows: ‹ Measures shall be taken where possible to minimize the negative impacts on the displaced persons;
4 “Affected group” means a group that is subject to any of the types of impact. Specifically, it means a group: (1) whose standard of living is adversely affected; (2) whose adverse impact in housing, land (including housing site, farmland and grassland) or any other fixed or non-fixed asset is temporary land occupation or permanent land acquisition; (3) that has the right to use the adversely affected productive resources temporarily or permanently; or (4) whose business, occupation or working or living area is adversely affected; a displaced person means any person that is relocated. 5 “Replacement cost” is defined as follows: In terms of farmland, it means the market value of land of the same production potential or use near the affected land, including land restoration, registration fee and transaction tax. This cost is high in whichever form before construction or demolition. For urban land, it means the market value, registration fee and transaction tax of land of the same size and use before house demolition, while the public infrastructure and services of this area are equivalent to or better than those of surrounding areas. For a house or any other structure, it means the material costs of a structure of the same size and quality of the demolished structure, or the market costs of materials used for partial renovation of the demolished structure, as well as the cost for transporting construction materials to the site, the fee of signing the contract, service fee, registration fee and transaction tax. In the determination of demolition costs, asset depreciation, the value of articles surviving disasters and the appreciation available due to asset demolition are not taken into account. In some areas, legal demolition costs cannot really attain the compensation standard. Therefore, provided the national laws are complied with, the compensation has to be described additionally under extra measures so as to attain the corresponding standard. These additional measures shall be specified in the resettlement measures in Part 6 and other provisions of OP4.12. 29 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
‹ The compensation and resettlement programs can improve the standard of living of the displaced persons or at least restore it to the pre-displacement level; ‹ The displaced persons are consulted carefully so that they have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs; ‹ All affected properties will be compensated for at full replacement cost; ‹ Those with illegal buildings and expired temporary buildings will receive compensation or assistance; ‹ The principle of building before demolition will apply where possible. Before land acquisition and house demolition, the displaced persons will have received full compensation for their losses, which means acquisition of land and relevant properties will not be conducted until compensation has been paid, or a resettlement site and a moving subsidy have been offered; ‹ The borrower will raise compensation fees for resettlement, including resettlement contingencies; ‹ Qualification of displaced persons: The deadline for qualification of displaced persons is the date of publication of the bulletin of land acquisition and relocation. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their houses; shall not change the uses of their houses and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their houses; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person. ‹ Compensation fees for a house shall be based on the appraised price of the house. If the appraised price is lower than the standard in the resettlement plan, the resettlement plan shall prevail. Summary of project policies Acquisition of collective land and resettlement policy The principles and rates of compensation for land acquisition and resettlement, land acquisition procedures and supervision mechanism of the Project are based mainly on the Land Administration Law of the PRC, the Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Exercising Strict Land Management(Guo Fa [2004] No.28), the Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition(MLR Fa [2004] No.238), the Measures of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC (Amended), the Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for Compensation Rates for Land Occupation (LMG Fa [2002] No.132), and the applicable policies of the affected municipality and counties. 1. Policies for collective land acquisition of the urban area Compensation fees for collective land acquisition include land and young crop compensation fees, and resettlement subsidy. The average output values of the past 3 years of different types of land will be determined as the main basis of calculation of land and young crop compensation fees, and resettlement subsidy. The resettlement subsidy for land acquisition is calculated based on the agricultural population to be resettled, which is equal to the amount of acquired farmland divided by the amount of farmland possessed by each member of the unit affected by land acquisition before land acquisition. Compensation fees for young crops and ground attachments are based on actual losses. No resettlement subsidy will be paid for acquisition of unused land and rural land for construction. In Liudong New District where Guantang area is located, acquired land will be compensated for at the area composite rate of 46,000 yuan/mu specified in the Minutes of the Working Conference of the Liudong New District Administrative Committee on Compensation Fees for Land Pre-acquisition of Guantang Area. 2. Policies for collective land acquisition of the 4 counties According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC and the Measures of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC (Amended),
30 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) land acquired shall be compensated for based on its former use. Compensation fees for land acquisition include compensation fees for land and young crops, and resettlement subsidy. The 4 affected counties differ in compensation rates and methods as follows: ‹ Sanjiang County: Paddy fields are compensated for at 9 times of the average output value of the past 3 years, and dry land at 7 times; resettlement subsidy is 15 times the average output value of the past 3 years; young crops are compensated for at 0.5 times of annual average output value. Collective land for construction is compensated for at the rate for dry land. Collective water areas are compensated for at twice the average output value of the past 3 years of dry land, and no other compensation is granted. ‹ Rongshui County: Paddy fields are compensated for at 10 times of the average output value of the past 3 years, dry land at 9 times, and pasture land at 3 times; resettlement subsidy is 5 times the average output value of the past 3 years; young crops on paddy fields and dry land are compensated for at 0.5 times of annual average output value. In addition, pasture land affected the Project is compensated for at 30,000 yuan/mu. ‹ Liucheng County: Fishponds are compensated for 6 times the average output value of the past 3 years, resettlement subsidy is 11 times the average output value of the past 3 years; the compensation rate for young crops is 1,000 yuan/mu. Collective water areas are compensated for at once the average output value of the past 3 years of dry land, and no other compensation is granted. Policy for permanent acquisition of state-owned land State-owned land occupied by the Project is acquired by allocation and recovery. State-owned land acquired by allocation is public infrastructure land and acquired without compensation State-owned land acquired by acquisition will be compensated for according to the field evaluation conducted by the third party Guangxi Xianghao Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. in February 2009 and the rates specified in the Asset Appraisal Report of the Compensation Appraisal Project for Relocation of Guangxi Dongsanjiang Food Co., Ltd. Compensation and restoration policy for temporary land occupation Compensation fees for farmland occupied temporarily by the Project are the product of the average output value of the past 3 years of such land and the period of temporary occupation. State-owned land occupied temporarily by the Project includes state-owned roads and watercourses occupied temporarily for pipeline construction. A method of integrated construction and restoration will be used in pipeline construction, where pipelines will be laid by pipe jacking if possible in densely populated and well-paved areas, for which no compensation will be paid. Demolition of non-residential houses and resettlement policy Non-residential houses (non-residential houses on state-owned land and collective land for construction) affected by the Project will be compensated for in accordance with the Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for the Administration of Collective Land Acquisition, the Asset Appraisal Report of the Compensation Appraisal Project for Relocation of Guangxi Dongsanjiang Food Co., Ltd. and the applicable policies of the affected counties. Those affected by non-residential house demolition will be resettled through a combination of cash compensation and non-local rebuilding. The compensation for demolition of non-residential houses on state-owned land includes house compensation fees and subsidy for suspension of business. Non-residential houses demolished will be appraised by a real estate appraisal firm with legal qualification at replacement cost, and the amount of cash compensation will be based primarily on the benchmark standard of cash compensation published by the government upon issuing the house demolition permit, and by reference to the house’s location, architectural structure, building area, story and decoration. Before determining the appraised price of a demolished house, the real estate appraisal firm should listen to the opinion of the displaced person, and determine the compensation price on the basis of appraisal and consultation.

Compensation rates for permanent acquisition of state-owned land State-owned land acquired for the Project is acquired by gratuitous allocation and compensated recovery. The state-owned land involved in the Sanjiang Sewage Treatment Subproject is acquired by compensated recovery, and compensated for at the market price appraised by a third party appraisal firm. Other state-owned land occupied permanently is acquired by gratuitous allocation. Compensation rates for temporary occupation of collective land According to the Base rates of annual average output value for acquired land and compensation rates of demolition for the construction of major infrastructure projects of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and other pertinent provisions, the compensation for farmland temporarily occupied by the Project will be the product of the average output value of the past 3 years of such land and the period of temporary occupation, and a certain amount of young crop compensation will be paid in consultation with farmers as the case may be; after expiry of the occupation period, the land will be restored by the construction agency. For the convenience of calculation, an occupation period of more than 3 months but less than 6 months will be calculated as 6 months, and that of more than 6 months but less than one year as one year, as shown in Table 0-2.

Production and Livelihood Restoration Programs for Displaced Persons
The resettlement objective of the Project is to ensure that the displaced persons can receive full compensation for their losses, reasonable resettlement and satisfactory restoration, enable them to share the benefits of the Project and assist them in temporary difficulties, so that their income level and standard of living, and the affected enterprises’ production capacity and profitability are improved or at least restored, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. According to the applicable policies and the consultation with the affected people, the Liuzhou PMO has developed compensation and resettlement programs for the affected people. Background and resettlement of affected enterprises Background and resettlement of private enterprises on state-owned land The enterprise on state-owned land affected by the Project is Guangxi Dongsanjiang Food Co., Ltd., which is to be relocated as a whole. Since it is already out of production, so no resettlement for unemployed worker is required. Guangxi Dongsanjiang Food Co., Ltd. specializes in the acquisition, production and marketing of farm and sideline products (live cattle). The company was founded in July 2004, and has a floor area of 5.9 mu and a former workforce of 22. Presently, the company has two production lines for slaughtering and beef processing respectively, and produces two series of products, including 11 varieties of frozen beef and 12 varieties of reprocessed beef. In 2008, the company applied for product barcodes, registered its trademark and obtained a QS license for food production. As at February 28, 2009, the company’s total assets were 6.1248 million yuan and net assets 3.935 million yuan. In 2008, its main business income was 6.014 million yuan and net profit 187,300 yuan. With the approval of Guangxi Dongsanjiang Food Co., Ltd., the Economic and Trade Bureau of Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County entrusted Guangxi Xianghao Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. to appraise the tangible and intangible assets of the company at market value on February 28, 2009. According to the Asset Appraisal Report of the Compensation Appraisal Project for Relocation of Guangxi Dongsanjiang Food Co., Ltd., the intangible assets of the company (land use rights) are 527,100 yuan, the compensation fees for house demolition 2.0491 million yuan, and those for buildings 375,600 yuan. The company will receive 3.8275 million yuan in total, as sown in Table 0-1. Table 0-1 Compensation for Guangxi Dongsanjiang Food Co., Ltd.

Since the company was out of production at the end of 2008 and is nearly bankrupt, no resettlement and compensation of employees is involved. Background and resettlement of private enterprises on collective land The Project will affect 3 rural private enterprises on rural land for construction, which are a sand yard and an oil mill affected by the Sanjiang Sewage Treatment Subproject, and a brickyard affected by the Rongshui Sewage Treatment Subproject. Sanjiang County oil mill: This oil mill belongs to Team 18 of Dazhu Village. It has 4 employees and specializes in oil processing from November to next March. The oil mill occupies 204.18m2 of land, all which will be acquired, in which the factory buildings occupy 100.58m2 of land and will be completely demolished. Through consultation with the owner of the oil mill, the oil mill will be rebuilt on a plot on planned rural collective land of the same size nearby, which is convenient in traffic and does not involve secondary land acquisition. The owner is satisfied with this arrangement. After house demolition, the owner will receive 18,000 yuan in compensation fees for house demolition and 10,000 yuan in moving subsidy. 37 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
Figure 0-1 Dazhu Village oil mill in Sanjiang County Sanjiang County sand yard: This sand yard occupies 1,168 m2 of land, which is contracted by the villagers of Team 19 and will be acquired completely. The owner expects a sand yard be rebuilt along the watercourse. Through consultation with the owner, the sand yard will reacquire the right to use a plot of the same size within 50m of the watercourse. This plot is state-owned river flat and does not involve secondary land acquisition. The owner has promised to hire the former employees after the new sand yard is completed, so the employees do not need resettlement. An attendance room of 22m2 in masonry-concrete structure of the sand yard will be demolished. According to the compensation standard, this plant will receive 13,200 yuan in compensation fees. In addition, some production equipment for sand mining, crushing and filtration of this plant will be relocated, for which there are two options: (1) It will be relocated by the owner, for which the government will pay a moving subsidy of 1,000 yuan; and (2) The government will offer vehicles and manpower to relocate such equipment. It is learned in the survey that the compensation rates fixed by the Liuzhou PMO for the above business premises are equivalent to or higher than market replacement costs, and the enterprises will have sufficient conditions (e.g., land use right or right of lease) and funds to build new premises and restore production and operation after receiving such compensation; the moving subsidy offered by the government is also sufficient to relocate their materials and equipment. Background and resettlement of affected rural households Impact analysis The Project will acquire 455.749 mu of rural collective land, in which there is 402.202 mu of contracted land, including 398.955 mu of farmland (394.125 mu of paddy fields and 4.83 mu of dry land) and 3.03 mu of fishponds, affecting 1,121 people out of 215 households in 5 villages in total, as shown in Table 0-2. Based on a statistical analysis, of the 5 affected villages, the overall proportion of farmland affected by land acquisition in 3.13%, and the proportion is below 3% in 4 villages. In particular, the proportion of farmland affected by land acquisition is 1.42% in Yangliu Village affected by the Shatang sewage treatment plant, 1.55% in Dazhu Village affected by the Sanjiang sewage treatment plant, 0.8% in Jingxi Village affected by the Liucheng sewage treatment plant, 0.52% in Yantou Village affected by the Rongshui sewage treatment plant, and the highest (7.98%) in Nanzhai Village affected by the Guantang sewage treatment plant. Yangliu Village affected by the Shatang Sewage Treatment Subproject has a population of 1,969 people out of 580 households and 2,950 mu of farmland, 1.5 mu per capita. 41.96 mu of farmland will be acquired, including 39.07 mu of paddy fields and 2.89 mu of dry land, affecting 152 people out of 38 households, accounting for 6.55% of all households and 7.71% of all people. Per capita arable area will be 1.477 mu after land acquisition, 0.023 mu less than the pre-acquisition value only. Impact factor of land acquisition is 1.42% only. In addition, Yangliu Village is located in Liubei District, where secondary and tertiary industries are developed to some extent, and the villagers have high
38 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) nonagricultural income from employment, etc. Since nearby enterprises (brickyard, etc.) have affected the villagers’ drinking groundwater, the villages generally support this project. Nanzhai Village affected by the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject has a population of 746 people out of 123 households and 4,000 mu of farmland, 5.3 mu per capita. 319.26 mu of farmland will be acquired, all being paddy fields, affecting 746 people out of 123 households. Per capita arable area will be 4.93 mu after land acquisition. Impact factor of land acquisition is 7.98%. Though the impact factor of land acquisition is relatively high, per capita arable area is 0.27 mu less than the pre- acquisition value only. Overall, the area of acquired land of this village is large, affecting a large population. On the other hand, Nanzhai Village has a large per capita arable area, which will be nearby 5 mu after land acquisition. Moreover, Nanzhai Village is located in Liudong New District, with many factories and schools nearby, and many nonagricultural job opportunities, providing diverse sources of household income. Dazhu Village affected by the Sanjiang Sewage Treatment Subproject has a population of 3,605 people out of 860 households and 914 mu of farmland, 0.25 mu per capita. 14.162 mu of farmland will be acquired, including 12.005 mu of paddy fields, 1.94 mu of dry land and 0.217 mu of other land, affecting 122 people out of 29 households, accounting for 3.37% of all households and 3.58% of all people. Impact factor of land acquisition is 1.55%. Overall, a small arable area is acquired and a small population affected in Dazhu Village. Since the existing per capita arable area of Dazhu Village is less than the social security bottom line for resettlement of 0.3 mu, the number of people working outside accounts for 3/4 of the village’s labor force, and nonagricultural income has become the main source of household income, land acquisition has little impact on the villagers’ income. Xiakuo Village affected by the Rongshui Sewage Treatment Subproject has a population of 5,000 people out of 1,020 households and 4,584 mu of farmland, 0.88 mu per capita. 23.79 mu of paddy fields will be acquired, affecting 97 people out of 24 households, accounting for 2.35% of all households and 1.94% of all people. Impact factor of land acquisition is 0.52%. Overall, a small arable area is acquired and a small population affected in Xiakuo Village. In addition, the land of the village is at a high altitude, where irrigation is difficult and there is a high level of reliance on nature. After this project is completed, the local displaced persons can use tail water from the sewage treatment plant for irrigation, which has been approved by the Employer. Jingxi Village affected by the Liucheng Sewage Treatment Subproject has a population of 2,048 people out of 425 households and 380 mu of farmland, 0.185 mu per capita. A fishpond of 3.03 mu will be acquired for a pump station only, where chubs and grass carps are farmed. The affected fishpond is excavated on paddy fields contracted by individuals, affecting 4 people out of 1 household, accounting for 0.19% of all households and 0.2% of all people. Impact factor of land acquisition is 0.8%. Overall, though land acquisition has little impact on the village collective, it will affect this household greatly, because the fishpond (containing chubs and grass carps) will be acquired completely and compensated for at the average output value of the past 3 years of 5,055 yuan/mu.

Although land acquisition affects the villages to varying degrees, it is necessary to further analyze the impacts on the affected households because they may lose part or all of their farmland. The impact factor of land acquisition of the Project is mostly less than 10%. Of the 215 affected households, 9 have an impact factor of 74%-50%, including 5 in Guantang area, 3 in Shatang area and one in Rongshui County. Of the 5 affected households in Guantang area, 3 have per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu, and the other 2 have per capita arable area of over 4 mu. Of the 3 affected households in Shatang area, 2 have per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu, for which agriculture is no longer the main source of income. The former per capita arable area of the one affected household in Rongshui county is 0.58 mu only, and 0.32 mu of land will be acquired and account for a high proportion. The impacts of land acquisition on rural households are shown in Table 0-3. Table 0-3 Impacts of land acquisition on rural households

In terms of the actual income losses of the affected households, over 57% of the affected households have a farmland loss rate of less than 10%, and 42.33% over 10%. However, since the affected areas are mainly located in outskirts, where there is a small arable area (except Guantang area), agriculture is not the main source of income, and the proportion of agricultural income to gross income is low (18.77% in Sanjiang County only, the highest in Rongshui being 35.03%, as shown in Table 3-4), the actual income losses resulting from land acquisition are low in general. In addition, according to the survey and interview, paddy rice and sugarcane are grown in these areas mainly, the annual gross income of paddy rice is about 1,000 yuan/mu and that of sugarcane about 1,500 yuan/mu, which is low relative to the investment of 600-800 yuan/mu in fertilizers and pesticides, etc. Therefore, the economic efficiency of agricultural production is generally low in the affected areas, and farmers are not enthusiastic for agricultural production and expect to improve their standard of living with nonagricultural income. Because of the impacted people of this projects involve ethnic minorities, resettlement plan team analyzed the impacts for them. According to the survey, in the administrative villages by the Shatang, Guantang, Liucheng and Rong’an Sewage Treatment Subprojects, the aboriginal population is mostly composed of Han and Zhuang people, with a small number of Miao and Dong people who have moved in by marriage (less than 2% of total population), and there is no central minority community. The Shatang Sewage Treatment Subproject will affect 38 households, in which there is only one minority household, which will be acquired of 1.2 mu of land and suffer a per capita gross income loss of 300
41 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
yuan; the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject will affect 746 people out of 123 households, including 3 minority people out of 1 household, which will be acquired of 0.8 mu land and suffer a per capita gross income loss of 400 yuan.

The minority communities affected by the Project mainly include the Dong and Miao settlements affected by the Sanjiang and Rongshui Sewage Treatment Subprojects respectively. However, among the administrative villages affected by the Project, a relatively large population of ethnic minorities is affected in Dazhu Village only, including 24 people out of 6 households (this subproject affects 29 households in total). Moreover, the Project does not involve house demolition of minority population. In addition, all minority residents affected by the Project live in outskirts, with a per capita arable area of less than 1 mu, and live on employment mainly. They have no difference from the local Han people in production pattern and lifestyle. In terms of culture and customs, Dong people worship big trees, boulders and gods, which have no direct connection with the land affected by the Project. Therefore, land acquisition will not affect the cultures of the local ethnic minorities. In addition, although Dong people live mainly in suspended wooden houses, the Project does not involve house demolition of Dong people, and will not affect their residential pattern and architectural culture. It is learned from interview that most people, whether Dong or Han people, whether living in a county town or a Dong village, communicate in the Guiliu dialect, so there will be no language barrier in the employment training for minority residents, and language will not be an obstacle to nonagricultural employment. Resettlement and restoration measures During the impact survey and resettlement planning, the Resettlement Planning Team consulted with the displaced persons and the competent authorities extensively with the assistance of the Liuzhou PMO, and discussed resettlement programs by holding FGDs at the affected villages and hamlets. In the field survey, most of the affected households accept the Project, as they think that the Project will change their living environment and agricultural production conditions. Most of the displaced persons require cash compensation for land acquisition, because this mode is easy to operate and they can use compensation fees for production and livelihood restoration freely. In addition, for villager teams affected seriously by land acquisition, displaced persons will be offered employment training and job opportunities. The displaced persons may also join the social security system for land- expropriated farmers on a voluntary basis. Restoration programs will be developed based on the degree of impact, the availability of remaining land resources and the willingness of the affected people, as shown in Table 0-5.

Through adequate consultation with the affected village committees and displaced persons during the socioeconomic survey, different income restoration programs have been developed. The main income restoration measures for land contracted by rural households include: Cash compensation: Cash compensation will be calculated according to the compensation rates and the amount of farmland lost, and paid directly to the affected people. Compensation fees received by the affected households can be used to conduct other agricultural or nonagricultural income generating activities, such as cash crop cultivation, sideline operations and small commodity selling, etc.; the village committees will determine how land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies will be allocated in consultation with the affected households, as shown in Table 0-6. ‹ In Yangliu Village affected by the Shatang sewage treatment plant, it has been determined that 60% of land compensation fees will belong to the collective and be used to develop collective welfare (support for old people and five-guarantee households) and repair public facilities, and the remaining land and young crop compensation fees, and resettlement subsidy will be paid to individuals. ‹ In Nanzhai Village affected by the Guantang sewage treatment plant, the area composite rate of 46,000 yuan/mu will apply, in which 40,000 yuan will be paid directly to farmers, 4,000 yuan used to cover insurance (disbursed to the affected households), and the remaining 2,000 yuan retained by the collective to develop secondary and tertiary industries. ‹ The villagers of Dazhu Village affected by the Sanjiang sewage treatment plant may select to ehtier cash compensation or land replacement. For those selecting cash compensation, all compensation fees will be paid to the affected households without withholding by the village collective; those selecting land replacement may be reallocated land through consultation or at the villagers’ congress. ‹ In Xiakuo Village affected by the Rongshui sewage treatment plant, it has been determined at the villagers’ congress that all land compensation fees will go to individuals without withholding by the village collective; for the pasture land owned by the collective, the collective will withhold 1,200 yuan/mu to maintain the village’s canals and roads, and the remaining sum will be allocated to the villagers averagely. ‹ In Jingxi Village affected by the pump station of the Liucheng sewage treatment plant, only one fish farming household is affected. Through consultation, 20% of its land compensation fees will go to the collective and be used to develop collective welfare, and the
43 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
remaining sum will belong to the household. This household plans to use the compensation fees to contract or lease a local fishpond to restore fish farming or carry out other nonagricultural activities. Table 0-6 Allocation of land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies

Land-retained resettlement: ‹ In Yangliu Village affected by the Shatang sewage treatment plant, industrial land will be reserved from the acquired land at not more than 40 m2 per capita of the registered agricultural population for resettlement. Provided the planned use is not altered, the displaced persons may also build houses or use such houses for lease or business operation on the reserved land to realize production and livelihood restoration. ‹ In Nanzhai Village affected by the Guantang sewage treatment plant, the affected farmers will be subject to land-retained resettlement at the proportion of 5% of the acquired land to develop secondary and tertiary industries. Nanzhai Village is located in the planned Liudong New District, and a multifunctional central urban area and an integrated new urban area with cultural, sports, administrative, office, residential, logistics, leisure and amusement functions. It is learned from the interview of villagers and the village committee that the retained land of 5% will be used to attract investment in collective enterprises, where the displaced persons may become shareholders and receive dividends; this will provide employment to young labor in the village; on the other hand, the village collective plans to build commercial houses in a unified manner and lease stores to collect rental, so as to ensure that the standard of living of the displaced persons will not drop.
Social security: The Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for the Training, Employment and Social Security of Land-expropriated Farmers (LMG Fa [2008] No.79) stipulate that land-expropriated farmers with an per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu (broadened to 0.5 mu in Guantang) may apply for the security for land-expropriated farmers to provide for endowment, medical treatment and MLS. According to a preliminary survey, 265 affected people out of 59 households are eligible for the social security system for land-expropriated farmers, accounting for 23.8% of the affected population, including 18 people out of 6 households affected by the Shatang Sewage Treatment Subproject; 10 people out of 3 households affected by the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject; 96 people out of 28 households affected by the Sanjiang Sewage Treatment Subproject; and 83 people out of 22 households affected by the Rongshui Sewage Treatment Subproject. These eligible people may join the social security system for land-expropriated farmers voluntarily. The specific policies on the social security system for land-expropriated farmers are as follows: ‹ Scope of security: endowment insurance, medical insurance and MLS for land- expropriated farmers 44 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
‹ Eligibility: land-expropriated registered agricultural population aged above 16 years and enjoying the right to contract rural collective land according to law, and contractors whose land is acquired completely according to law or whose remaining per capita arable area is less than 0.3 mu ‹ Fund raising method: Land-expropriated farmers after January 1, 2008 shall pay 20% of a base amount equivalent to 60% of the average wages of urban workers in service of the whole region in the year prior to the reference date of land acquisition for a period of 15 years. ‹ Allocation of funds: The accumulation fund of the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers is raised by the individual, the village collective and the finance together, in which the individual and the village collective share 70%, and the finance shares 30%. The proportions shared of the individual and the village collective may be negotiated as the case may be. ‹ Sources of funds: There are 3 sources of funds for land-expropriated farmers to pay basic endowment insurance premiums and the endowment insurance accumulation fund: land compensation fees, resettlement subsidy and some expenses disbursed by the government from land transfer fees and other proceeds on compensated use of land. ‹ Mode of payment: Land-expropriated farmers who pay the basic endowment insurance accumulation fund may receive basic endowment insurance benefits monthly after attaining the age of 60 full years with the approval of the municipal labor and social security insurance management office. The basic endowment insurance benefits consists of a basic pension and a personal accumulation account pension, of which the personal accumulation account pension is equal to the amount of deposit in the personal accumulation account multiplied by the payment coefficient of 0.57, and then divided by the number of months of payment corresponding to the age of the farmer. It is learned through interview that the local displaced persons are satisfied with the social security policies, and most of them are willing to join the social security system for land-expropriated farmers, especially farmers aged above 50 years. It is thought that the social security system for land- expropriated farmers has freed them from future worries. In addition, eligible land-expropriated farmers may also join the new rural cooperative medical security and rural MLS systems. Land-expropriated farmers who are urban residents in identity and eligible for the MLS for urban residents will be included in the MLS for urban residents; those who are rural residents in identity and eligible for the MLS for destitute rural residents will be included in the MLS for destitute rural residents. Land-expropriated farmers included in the MLS for urban and rural residents will be under the jurisdiction of the competent urban district. It can be found that the compensation rates for acquisition of rural collective land fixed by the affected districts and counties are higher than the personal payment rates for land-expropriated farmers to cover endowment insurance, so land-expropriated farmers may use land compensation fees to cover the local endowment insurance voluntarily to obtain basic living security after land expropriation, and may also use the remaining sum for other income generating activities. Employment training: The affected population will be offered agro-technical training on culture techniques, housekeeping, business administration and property management, etc. in accordance with the applicable policies of Liuzhou Municipality The urban labor and social security authorities will offer free vocational training, employment policy consulting, employment information, vocational guidance and referral services to help the displaced persons get employed in nonagricultural sectors. According to the Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for the Training, Employment and Social Security of Land-expropriated Farmers, funds for training land-expropriated farmers will be disbursed from the special funds for the training and employment of land-expropriated farmers in the municipal finance. It has been determined by reference to the Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for the Training, Employment and Social Security of Land-expropriated Farmers that the employment training for workers affected by land occupation will be included in the overall plan for employment and reemployment of the local governments. From 2009 to 2012, the labor and social security authorities would organize employment training for the affected workers once or twice a year to help them master one or two vocational skills so that they can be employed soon.
45 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
In addition, during the whole process of production restoration, the Employer and the implementing agencies will also provide assistance and support to the displaced persons by other means. During the construction period, the displaced persons will have priority in providing labor service for the Project. The construction of the Project will generate some temporary job opportunities for the displaced persons as a short-term source of income, which will help to improve their standard of living and restore their livelihoods. The Employer may ask the construction agency to hire displaced persons to do some temporary jobs. It is learned that in nearby infrastructure construction projects, the construction agencies mostly hire nearby farmers to do unskilled jobs, such as civil works and ditch excavation, and pay them 30-60 yuan a day. The Project can provide temporarily job in civil works, handling, landscaping and ditch excavation to the displaced persons. Since most of the young adults of the affected rural households are working outside, while those staying at home are mostly women, the construction agency may provide such jobs as landscaping and ditch excavation that are suitable for women, and give priority to women in employment. About 30% of the job opportunities generated by the Project are suitable for women. Since there is a small minority population in the affected areas, and there is almost no difference between them and the local Han people, they enjoy the same rights and interests as the local Han people. Gratuitous allocation of state-owned land The Project will occupy 161.705 mu of state-owned land permanently, in which 155.805 mu will be acquired by gratuitous allocation. The state-owned land involved in the Project includes landscaping land and river flat, and involves no resettlement. Restoration program for temporarily occupied land State-owned roads and watercourses of 1,520.1 mu will be occupied temporarily for pipeline laying in the Suburb Drainage Project and the Sewage Treatment Project, all within the planned boundary lines of these roads and watercourses. A method of integrated construction and restoration will be used in pipeline construction, where pipelines will be laid by pipe jacking if possible in densely populated and well-paved areas to reduce the impact on pedestrians and road traffic, for which no compensation will be paid. The Project will occupy 22.69 mu of collective land, including a fishpond of 8 mu affected by the Suburb Drainage Project. According to the survey, temporary land occupation is caused mainly by such activities as pipeline excavation, construction material piling, use of construction machinery, erection of temporary sheds and pond dredging. The temporarily occupied farmland is in a zonal arrangement, affecting 9 households slightly. The fishpond of 8 mu occupied temporarily by the Suburb Drainage Project will affect 5 people out of 1 household, and is a collective pond rented by migrant population for fish farming, where the lease will expire in June 2010. According to the survey, since there are rich water resources for aquaculture in Liuzhou, if the farming household is informed of fishpond occupation 3 months in advance, it will be able to rent a new local water area conveniently and restore its operation. The Employer will compensate for any fishery loss during the term of lease at the rate of 5,674.5 yuan/mu (6 months), and assist them in finding a suitable water area nearby to restore fish farming. The compensation for temporary land occupation will be calculated based on annual average output value and occupation period, and include land and young crop compensation fees. The drafted compensation rates are higher than the farmers’ actual losses, so that their livelihoods will not be affected. Temporarily occupied rural collective land can be restored by the farmers, the village collective or the implementing agencies. The restorer will be determined by representatives of the affected farmers, the village collective and the implementing agencies through consultation. To minimize the impacts of temporary land occupation, the key principles for restoration of temporary land occupation are as follows: ‹ The affected rural households will have priority. Thus, not only the affected people will receive job opportunities to increase household income, but also the quality of land restoration can be ensured. If neither a household nor the village collective is willing to restore the land itself, the implementing agencies will be responsible for reclamation. ‹ Strict measures will be taken during temporary land occupation to protect topsoil and avoid any irreversible impact. During excavation, topsoil (recommended thickness 30-50cm) will be collected and piled separately, and measures for water loss and soil erosion control will 46 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
be taken. After construction, subsurface soil will be backfilled, then the topsoil will be overlaid evenly, and the site leveled to reduce the impact on farmland quality. Any land hardened temporarily by trampling or compaction during construction will be plowed immediately after construction to make it loose again. ‹ For the temporarily occupied fishpond, the Employer will pay cash compensation at the rate of 5,674.5 yuan/mu (6 months) to the farming household whose lease has not expired, and assist it in renting another water area nearby at the same rental rate to restore fish farming. Restoration program for affected vulnerable groups In the affected population, 45 people out of 30 households fall into vulnerable groups, in which 40 people out of 26 households receive MLS, accounting for 88.89%, and there are 5 people out of 4 five- guarantee households, accounting for 11.11%. After land acquisition and house demolition, the Employer and the implementing agencies will offer assistance and supporting measures to these residents (farmers), including: ‹ Those without the ability to work will be offered living security through the social security system; according to the latest provisions of Liuzhou Municipality in 2009, the annual MLS amount of Liubei District and the counties is over 1,000 yuan. ‹ Those with the ability to work will have priority in receiving job opportunities and free employment training from the county employment bureaus, so that they have a stable source of income. It is learned that farmers that have attended training have already obtained relatively favorable jobs and are satisfied with the effectiveness of training. ‹ Those with the ability to work in households falling into vulnerable groups will be recruited first to do unskilled jobs; 25% of the job opportunities generated by the Project will be offered to vulnerable groups, who will receive equal pay for equal work. Restoration program for ground attachments According to the Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for the Administration of Collective Land Acquisition, the proprietors of the affected ground attachments will receive compensation from the PMO and restore such attachments, as shown in Table 6-7.

Organization and Progress of Implementation
Organization Office of the World Bank Financed Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project has been founded to direct the resettlement work, supervise and examine the implementation progress of the resettlement plan, and contact with the World Bank. In addition, the employers of the subprojects shall prepare resettlement plans for the subprojects, manage the implementation of land acquisition and house demolition, and be responsible for internal supervision, examination and monitoring.

Progress of implementation According to the implementation schedule of the Project, the Project will be implemented for 5 years from 2009 to 2019 in stages. The construction period of the Sewage Treatment Project is 2009- 2015, and that of the Suburb Drainage Project 2009-2019. The schedule of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement will be linked with the construction schedules of the subprojects, and will last from June 2009 to December 2011 mainly. The basic principles of scheduling are as follows: (1) Land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement shall at least be completed one month before commencement of construction so that the affected people have enough time to prepare for production resettlement and income restoration programs; and (2) before commencement of construction, sufficient time must be allowed for land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement. The general resettlement schedule for all subprojects has been drafted based on the progress of preparation and implementation of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement. The implementation schedule may be adjusted due to overall progress deviations. The schedule of land acquisition, house demolition and construction of the subprojects is shown in Table 0-2, and the implementation schedule and activities are shown in Table 0-3.

Appendix 3 Resettlement Due Diligence Report of Guantang Area of Liudong New District
Since Guantang area of Liudong New District is served by the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject, the Liuzhou PMO has conducted a due diligence survey of the resettlement activities that have been implemented in Guantang area (12km2 in the near term), and prepared this report to as required by the World Bank maintain the lawful rights and interests of the displaced persons in Guantang area practically, and ensure the proper functioning of the subproject. 1 Scope of construction According to the new round of overall urban planning of Liuzhou City, a new urban framework of “One Center and Two Towns” with Sanmen River National Park being the “green center”, and the new and old towns in balanced development will be built. The Liuzhou Municipal CPC Committee and Government made the strategic decision of constructing and developing Liudong New District in 2003, which will be built into a new urban district with a prominent industrial function, sophisticated supporting services, and a beautiful and comfortable environment. Guantang area includes Guantang core area, Luorong Town, Jiangdong area (riverfront of the Liujiang River) and Hualing area (land between the Hunan-Guangxi Railway and the Guihai Expressway), with a total planning area of 83.11km2, including an urban construction land area of 51.08km2. The near-term construction land area of Guantang area is about 12.0km2 (see the figure below). The near-term construction projects in Guantang area of Liudong New District include facilities, industrial enterprises, head offices, logistics and warehouse facilities, real estate and residential developments, social programs, urban infrastructure and commercial circulation projects, etc.
Attached Figure 1 Map of development areas of Liuzhou City 2 Note to approval of land for construction According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC and other applicable laws and regulations, any entity or individual that is to use land for construction activity must apply for the use of state- owned land according to law, which means no entity or individual shall use collective land for construction activity. Land for construction must comply with the master plan for land utilization, the annual land utilization plan and the standard for construction land. Therefore, before project implementation, the approval formalities of land use must be completed. The legal procedures for land application and approval have been settled for the construction of Guantang area in strict conformity with the state laws and regulations. By the end of 2008, 6,074 mu of land for construction had been approved for in Guantang area, and the approval formalities for the remaining 2,240 mu of land are being settled, as shown in Attached Table 1.

It can be seen that the land acquisition procedures of Guantang area of Liudong New District comply with the applicable state laws and regulations. 3 Overview of land acquisition and resettlement impacts To expedite the construction of Liudong New District, the Liuzhou District Government facilitated land acquisition in Guantang area since 2006. As at the first half of 2009, 15,400 mu of land had been acquired in Guantang area, including 8,314 mu of collective land and 7,086 mu of state- owned land. Construction in Guantang area involves collective land, and state-owned land of state- owned Sanmen River Tree Farm and Guangxi Guizhong Jail, and does not involve house demolition. The details of land acquisition are shown in Attached Table 2. Attached Table 2 Progress of land acquisition of Guantang area

Large-scale land acquisition began in Guantang area since 2006. Since land acquisition was not completed at a time, the actual compensation rates for land varied from time to time. To learn the impacts of land acquisition in Guantang area in the past 4 years, the Resettlement Planning Team has conducted in-depth interview with villagers and officials of the 4 villages, and a sampling questionnaire survey at the sampling rate of 10% (232 copies). Attached Table 4 Impact analysis of land acquisition of Guantang area

Based on survey and analysis, the impact factor of land acquisition of Nanqing, Guoyuan, Bantang and Gaoyan Villages is 9.09%, 23.8%, 24.3% and 6.2% respectively; the existing per capita arable area is the lowest in Guoyuan Village, being 1.2 mu, the highest in Gaoyan Village, being 4.7 mu, and about 2.8 mu in Nanqing and Bantang Village; the per capita arable area loss is the lowest in Gaoyan Village, being 0.4 mu, the highest in Bantang Village, being 1.15 mu, and about 0.7 mu in Nanqing and Guoyuan Villages. It can be seen that Guoyuan and Bantang Villages are affected seriously by land acquisition. 4 Compensation policies and rates Since January 1, 2009, Liudong New District has become the trustee of Luorong Town in Luzhai County. Therefore, the compensation rates for land acquisition of Guantang area were based mainly on the Interim Procedures of Luzhai County for Compensation Rates for Acquired Land before trusteeship, and based on the area composite rate (46,000 yuan/mu) of Liudong New District after trusteeship. According to the Interim Procedures of Luzhai County for Compensation Rates for Acquired Land, compensation fees for rural collective land in Luzhai County before 2009 included
70 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) land and young crop compensation fees, and resettlement subsidy. The compensation rates are as follows: ‹ Land compensation fees: On the basis of the average output value of the past 3 years, paddy fields are compensated for at 9 times, dry land at 7 times, vegetable plots at 8 times, fishponds at 8 times, pasture land at 3 times, unused land at 2 times, other farmland at 3 times, and collective land for construction at 2 times. ‹ Resettlement subsidy: Farmland acquired is compensated for on the basis of the average output value of the past 3 years. farmland is compensated for at 5 times if per capita arable area is over 0.9 mu before land acquisition, 6 times within 0.75-0.9 mu, 8 times within 0.6- 0.75 mu, 10 times within 0.45-0.6 mu, 12 times within 0.375-0.45 mu, 14 times within 0.3- 0.375 mu and 15 times less than 0.3 mu. Other farmland, such fishpond, flower bed, nursery and woodland with harvest, is compensated for at 5 times the average output value of the 3 years prior to acquisition. Pasture land and woodland without forest are compensated at 3 times the annual average output value of local dry land, and no resettlement subsidy is paid for barren mountains, housing sites and other non-earning land. ‹ Young crop are compensated for at market price. Since January 1, 2009, acquired land in Guantang area of Liudong New District has been compensated for at the area composite rate of 46,000 yuan/mu without exception, in which 40,000 yuan includes land and young crop compensation fees, and resettlement subsidy, 4,000 yuan is used for social security, and the remaining 2,000 yuan used to develop collective secondary and tertiary industries. Based on the field survey, land-expropriated farmers supported the land acquisition work very well under the new compensation policies, the land acquisition work of the Liudong New District Administrative Committee was conducted successfully, and the farmers affected by land acquisition are satisfied with the prevailing compensation policies for land acquisition. The land compensation rates of Guantang area are based mainly on the Interim Procedures of Luzhai County for Compensation Rates for Acquired Land and the area composite rate of 46,000 yuan/mu of Liudong New District after trusteeship, as shown in Attached Table 5.

It can be seen that the compensation rates of Guantang area are higher than those specified in the policies. To ensure that the standard of living of the local displaced persons will not drop, the local government has exercised flexibility in compensation, and taken incentive measures to improve the compensation rates for the displaced persons, which has been welcome by the displaced persons. According to the survey, the land acquisition office has enforced the latest compensation policies for land acquisition of Liudong New District strictly. Except that 2,000 yuan in 46,000 yuan/mu used to develop collective secondary and tertiary industries is left to the village collective, all compensation fees for contracted land have been paid to the affected households, which are satisfied with the compensation. 5 Resettlement program and implementation A pattern of “cash compensation + land-retained resettlement + employment training + social security” has been applied to the resettlement measures of Guantang area of Liudong New District for farmers affected by land acquisition. The Liudong New District Administrative Committee has taken a variety of measures, such as reward and endowment insurance, to improve the compensation rates for land-expropriated farmers to ensure that their standard of living will not drop provided the Interim Procedures of Luzhai County for Compensation Rates for Acquired Land are complied with. It has also provided free employment training and covered social security for the land-expropriated farmers timely pursuant to the Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for the Training, Employment and Social Security of Land-expropriated Farmers. The main measures are as follows: 1) Cash compensation: From 2006 to date, the compensation rates for land acquisition of Guantang area have ranged from 20,000 yuan/mu to 46,000 yuan/mu. Generally, the compensation rates offered by the land acquisition office have been rising. Since 2009, the area composite rate of 46,000 yuan/mu higher than the former standard has been applied to all
72 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
households affected by land acquisition, in which 44,000 yuan/mu (4,000 yuan used for farmers to cover insurance) is disbursed to the affected households, and the remaining 2,000 yuan/mu is retained temporarily by the village collective to develop collective secondary and tertiary industries. It is learned that 44,000 yuan/mu has been paid to the affected households in full. Since there is a high per capita arable area in this area, and the standard of less than 0.5 mu per capita is not attained, the insurance premium of 4,000 yuan/mu has been paid to individuals. The 2,000 yuan/mu used to develop collective secondary and tertiary industries has not been put into use and is deposited with a local credit cooperative because this policy has become newly effective, and the new district is still under planning and construction. Most of the affected people have used part of land compensation fees to build a new house, and part to buy a vehicle for transport or run a restaurant, so their income level has increased. 2) Land-retained resettlement: It is stipulated in Liudong New District that 5% of the land quota be reserved in each land acquisition to develop collective secondary and tertiary industries, and may be allocated to households. However, since the land of the affected villages has not been completely acquired, such land has not been reserved, and will be available in future resettlement activities. 3) Employment training: According to the applicable policies of Liuzhou Municipality, the employment department of the Liudong New District Administrative Committee has provided free employment training to the affected households 4 times, training 158 people in total, including welders, breeders, cooks and drivers. Most of the trained land-expropriated farmers have elected to be a technician at a nearby machine shop or rubber factory, and some of them have become a waiter at the canteen of Lushan College. Some land-expropriated farmers have also used the skills learned and land compensation fees to do individual operations. The construction of the industrial park, logistics center, roads, plants and other infrastructure in Liudong New District has also absorbed a large amount of local labor. 4) Social security: Policies of Liuzhou Municipality stipulate that land-expropriated farmers with a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu may join the social security for displaced persons. On this basis, a more preferential policy is taken in the affected area, specifying that those with a per capita arable area of less than 0.5 mu may not only join the social security for displaced persons, but are also entitled to special funds in land compensation fees, for which the government has provided counterpart funds. It is learned that a large area of land has been acquired at Teams 6 and 7, Pingdi Hamlet, Bantang Village, where 90% of the farmers have attained the standard of per capita arable area of less than 0.5 mu. The social security system for land-expropriated farmers is being publicized there. Presently, 3 levels of security are available: 27,000 yuan is paid by the individual and 11,000 yuan by the government, and 380 yuan/month will be received after the specified age is attained; 37,000 yuan is paid by the individual and 11,000 yuan by the government, and 480 yuan/month will be received after the specified age is attained; 57,000 yuan is paid by the individual and 11,000 yuan by the government, and 680 yuan/month will be received after the specified age is attained. With the development of the economy, the amount of monthly benefit will be adjusted from time to time. It has been found through interview that young people are inclined to lower levels and old people to higher levels. Although most villages have not attained the standard of per capita arable area specified in the social security policy, this policy will play an important role in securing farmers’ future livelihoods with the construction of the new district and the decrease of farmers’ land possession. 6 Income restoration and satisfaction survey of displaced persons To learn the satisfaction of the affected households with the socioeconomic effects of compensation and resettlement in the affected area, and the income restoration of the displaced persons, the Resettlement Planning Team conducted a sampling survey of the affected households. It is learned from the visit to the affected villages, teams and relocated households that the farmers are satisfied with the resettlement policies, and most of them have increased their income. 232 households were surveyed in total, and 8 households were interviewed in depth. The sampling survey results are shown in Attached Table 6.

It can be seen from the above table that most of the displaced persons have a good understanding of and are satisfied with the compensation policies for land acquisition. In addition, 65.48% of them think their standard of living has improved after land acquisition, 33.61% think it is almost unchanged and only 0.91% think it has worsened. Therefore, the income of the local displaced persons has been restored effectively, and there is a high level of satisfaction with resettlement in general. In addition, to learn the current socioeconomic conditions and existing problems of the affected households in depth, the Resettlement Planning Team conducted an in-depth interview with villagers of the 4 villages, and has obtained the following key information: 1. Production 74 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
‹ The affected farmers are shifting from purely agricultural labor to secondary and tertiary industries. Most of them say that farming is profitless and can barely provide for their subsistence. They want to work outside, but cannot put so much land down. Now, part of their land has been acquired, they can farm while working nearby to earn more money. ‹ In addition, some farmers have used land compensation fees to buy a vehicle for transport, and thereby improved their standard of living. ‹ In the affected area, some young people have attended labor skills training organized by the government, and are working nearby, obtaining basic security of employment. 2. Livelihoods ‹ Land compensation fees have increased the income of the displaced persons, many of whom have built a stored building. ‹ Most of the farmers have allocated land compensation fees reasonably, and set aside funds for their children’s education. ‹ The affected farmers still have a certain amount of land on which they can continue to grow vegetables and grains for their daily consumption, and the excess can be sold. Due to the diversification of employment, sources of household income have been broadened. 3. Existing problems and measures ‹ Ineffective publicity of policies: Since the competent authorities have not given adequate publicity to the social security policies for land-expropriated farmers, some old people do not trust the social security system for land-expropriated farmers enough and think it is a “pie in the sky”; some young people would rather doing business than covering insurance, because it will be a long time before they are entitled to insurance benefits. As a result, farmers have limited enthusiasm for insurance. ‹ Relatively lagging land-retained resettlement measures: 5% of the land quota will be reserved in the affected area, but this policy has not been practically implemented, and it has not been clearly defined how this land will used for business operation and development. The interview results are consistent with the results of the questionnaire survey, i.e., the displaced persons have restored their income and are satisfied with their present status of life. No appeal or action arising from land acquisition by any affected resident was found in the survey, which shows there is no special problem left over from the land acquisition activities in Guantang area of Liudong New District.
7 Conclusion (1) The land acquisition work within the service range of the Guantang sewage treatment plant, namely Guantang area of Liudong New District (12 km2), has complied with the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC, and land pre-examination, land approval, and compensation and resettlement activities for land acquisition have been conducted according to law. The land acquisition procedures, compensation rates and resettlement program not only comply with the state laws and regulations, but have also been accepted and supported by the displaced persons. (2) Through reasonable compensation and effective resettlement, the income level and standard of living of most of the displaced persons in Guantang area of Liudong New District have been restored. The survey reveals that 65.48% of them think their income is higher than the pre-acquisition level, 33.61% think their income has remained unchanged, and only 0.91% think their income has dropped. Therefore, the overall standard of living of the displaced persons has not been reduced by the subproject. (3) It is learned that there has been no appeal or action arising from land acquisition in Guantang area of Liudong New District, and the land acquisition, compensation and resettlement activities in this area have been completed successfully.

Appendix 4 Review of Resettlement Policies for Guantang Area of Liudong New District
1. Background and scope of construction According to the new round of overall urban planning of Liuzhou City, the Liuzhou Municipal CPC Committee and Government made the strategic decision of constructing and developing Liudong New District in 2003, which is an important carrier and platform of industrial development of Liuzhou City in the next 20 years, and will be built into a new urban district with a prominent industrial function, sophisticated supporting services, and a beautiful and comfortable environment. According to the Municipal Engineering Plan of Liudong New District (Guantang Area) of Liuzhou City prepared in 2008, Guantang area includes Guantang core area, Luorong Town, Jiangdong area (riverfront of the Liujiang River) and Hualing area (land between the Hunan-Guangxi Railway and the Guihai Expressway), with a total planning area of 83.11km2, including an urban construction land area of 51.08km2. Within the near-term service range of the Guantang sewage treatment plant (12 km2), the construction projects include facilities, industrial enterprises, head offices, logistics and warehouse facilities, real estate and residential developments, social programs, urban infrastructure and commercial circulation projects, etc. 2. Purpose of preparation To drive the land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement work effectively, protect the lawful rights and interests of the farmers affected by land acquisition within the service range of the Guantang area sewage treatment plant (12 km2), and ensure that the land acquisition and resettlement activities comply with the laws and regulations of the PRC, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and the Liuzhou Municipal Government on land acquisition and house demolition, the Liuzhou PMO has prepared this Review of Resettlement Policies for Guantang Area of Liudong New District. 3. Project impacts Presently, Guantang area of Liudong New District has a planning area of 12 km2. By the end of 2008, 15,400 mu of land had been acquired, including 7,086 mu of state-owned land, which belongs to the state-owned farm of Guizhong Jail. There is no directly affected population; 8,314 mu of collective land has been acquired permanently, involving the 4 villages of Nanqing, Guoyuan, Bantang and Gaoyan, and affecting 10,092 people out of 2,328 households.

5. Key principles To protect the rights and interests of land-expropriated farmers, meet the requirements for farmland conservation, and make rational use of land, the land acquisition policies shall comply with the following principles: ‹ Farmland is utilized rationally, conserved and protected; ‹ The applicable laws and regulations are enforced strictly, and the interest relationship between the state, the collective and the individual handled properly; ‹ Land acquisition is implemented in strict conformity with the procedures established by law to protect the rights and interests of land-expropriated farmers practically; ‹ Comments of the affected entities and farmers are listened to carefully, so that the land acquisition program is feasible; and ‹ The production level and standard of living of the affected entities and farmers will not drop. 6. Compensation rates (1) Compensation for acquisition of collective land Since January 1, 2009, Liudong New District has become the trustee of Luorong Town in Luzhai County. Therefore, the compensation rates for land acquisition of Guantang area are based mainly on the Minutes of the Working Conference of the Liudong New District Administrative Committee on Compensation Fees for Land Pre-acquisition of Guantang Area after trusteeship. The area composite rate of Liudong New District of 46,000 yuan/mu will apply, in which 40,000 yuan will be paid directly to farmers, 4,000 yuan used to cover insurance (disbursed to the affected households), and the remaining 2,000 yuan retained by the collective to develop secondary and tertiary industries. This rate is much higher than the compensation rates based on annual average output value, and can protect the interests of the affected farmers more effectively. Compensation fees received by the affected households can be used to conduct other agricultural or nonagricultural income generating activities, such as cash crop cultivation, sideline operations and small commodity selling, etc. (2) Compensation for house demolition on collective land For houses on collective land to be demolished in Liudong New District, proprietors may either receive full cash compensation or select property swap. Those receiving full cash compensation will be compensated according to the Regulation on the Demolition of Urban Houses of the State Council, and based on the location, use and building area of the house to be demolished by reference to its appraised price on the real estate market, the government guiding price and the average price of commercial housing in the same area. For owned houses, proprietors will receive full cash compensation based on the appraised price on the real estate market and government subsidy. In this case, a transition subsidy for 6 months will be paid at time. If the demolished house is a residential house, the moving subsidy is 1,000 yuan per household (including moving fees and labor costs). For self-modified business premises, including restaurants, hotels, stores and groceries, etc., if demolition results in suspension of production or business, the owner will be paid a subsidy for suspension of business. Employees that are approved under a business license will receive a subsidy for suspension of business for 3 months at the rate of 670 yuan/capita-month. 7. Resettlement program
78 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
(1) Resettlement for acquisition of rural collective land Since January 1, 2009, Liudong New District has become the trustee of Luorong Town in Luzhai County. Therefore, the relevant compensation and resettlement program is developed and implemented by the Liudong New District Government. A pattern of “cash compensation + land-retained resettlement + employment training + social security” will be adopted for future resettlement within the service range of 12 km2 of the Guantang sewage treatment plant. The Liudong New District Administrative Committee will take a variety of measures, such as reward and endowment insurance, to improve the compensation rates for land-expropriated farmers to ensure that their standard of living will not drop provided the Minutes of the Working Conference of the Liudong New District Administrative Committee on Compensation Fees for Land Pre-acquisition of Guantang Area are complied with. It will also provide free employment training and covered social security for the land- expropriated farmers timely pursuant to the Interim Measures of Liuzhou Municipality for the Training, Employment and Social Security of Land-expropriated Farmers. The main measures are as follows: 1) Cash compensation: Since 2009, the area composite rate of 46,000 yuan/mu higher than the former standard has been applied to all households affected by land acquisition, in which 44,000 yuan/mu (4,000 yuan used for farmers to cover insurance) is disbursed to the affected households, and the remaining 2,000 yuan/mu is retained temporarily by the village collective to develop collective secondary and tertiary industries. Compensation fees received by the affected households can be used to conduct other agricultural or nonagricultural income generating activities, such as cash crop cultivation, sideline operations and small commodity selling, etc.; the increased compensation rate will enable the land-expropriated farmers to restore their income level and standard of living more easily. 2) Land-retained resettlement: It is stipulated in Liudong New District that 5% of the land quota be reserved in each land acquisition to develop collective secondary and tertiary industries, and may be allocated to households. Provided the planned use is not altered, the displaced persons may also build houses or use such houses for lease or business operation on the reserved land to realize production and livelihood restoration. 3) Employment training: Public employment service agencies will conduct unemployment registration for land-expropriated farmers for free, and provide one-stop employment services to get them employed as soon as possible. Like registered unemployed urban residents, land-expropriated farmers will be entitled to the government supporting policy for employment promotion. Land- expropriated farmers are encourage to start business to promote employment. In this respect, the competent authorities will strengthen the guidance on individual operations of land-expropriated farmers, and provide policy consulting, employment training and startup guidance services. Land- expropriated farmers identified as having difficulty in employment may be included in the scope of employment assistance, and be entitled to priority support and key assistance. 4) Social security: Policies of Liuzhou Municipality stipulate that land-expropriated farmers with a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu may join the social security for displaced persons. On this basis, a more preferential policy is taken in the affected area, specifying that those with a per capita arable area of less than 0.5 mu may not only join the social security for displaced persons, but are also entitled to special funds in land compensation fees, for which the government has provided counterpart funds. This policy will play an important role in securing farmers’ future livelihoods with the construction of the new district and the decrease of farmers’ land possession. To protect the interests of land-expropriated farmers, an endowment insurance system suitable for them will be established before the rural endowment insurance system is established. An accumulation fund for the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers will be established on the basis of personal voluntariness, participation of village collective and fiscal subsidization: An accumulation fund for the basic endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers will be established for eligible land-expropriated farmers at a time with a period of 15 years (the “accumulation period”). The accumulation fund will be borne by the individual, the village collective and the finance together, in which the individual and the village collective share 70%, and the finance shares 30%. The proportions shared of the individual and the village collective may be negotiated as the case may be. Presently, 3 levels of security are available: 27,000 yuan is paid by the individual and 11,000 yuan by the government, and 380 yuan/month will be received after the specified age is attained; 37,000 yuan is paid by the individual and 11,000 yuan by the government, and 480 yuan/month will be received after
79 Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) the specified age is attained; 57,000 yuan is paid by the individual and 11,000 yuan by the government, and 680 yuan/month will be received after the specified age is attained. In addition, to protect the interests of low-income people, eligible land-expropriated farmers may also be entitled to MLS as follows: Land-expropriated farmers who are urban residents in identity and eligible for the MLS for urban residents will be included in the MLS for urban residents; those who are rural residents in identity and eligible for the MLS for destitute rural residents will be included in the MLS for destitute rural residents. Land-expropriated farmers included in the MLS for urban and rural residents will be under the jurisdiction of the competent urban district. (2) Resettlement for house demolition on collective land For houses on collective land to be demolished in Liudong New District, proprietors may either receive full cash compensation or select property swap. Those receiving full cash compensation will be compensated according to the Regulation on the Demolition of Urban Houses of the State Council, and based on the location, use and building area of the house to be demolished by reference to its appraised price on the real estate market, the government guiding price and the average price of commercial housing in the same area. In case of property swap, a displaced person will be resettled in a unit apartment in the completed resettlement residential area, and the unit apartment and the demolished house will be appraised for exchange at equal value. The property area of the demolished house will be exchanged for the same area. A relocated household eligible for family division may buy one (or more) resettlement house at the cost price based on the per capita building area of 25m2. The owner of a single house without property right may buy one (or more) resettlement house at the cost price based on the per capita building area of 25m2. If a relocated household eligible for family division that owns a single house without property right is unable to buy a resettlement house, it may rent a house at the prevailing rental rate based on the per capita building area of 25m2. The unit apartment resettlement houses have been built in a resettlement residential area planned, designed, constructed and managed in a unified manner in Liudong New District. The resettlement residential area is constructed by an agency appointed by the Liudong New District Administrative Committee. The “three supplies and one leveling” for the resettlement houses are provided by a company under the municipal government, which has obtained the permit to commence and the land use permit, and the costs so incurred are borne by the user of the land for construction. 8. Procedures 8.1 Land acquisition procedures (1) Land pre-examination The Land Administration Law of the PRC stipulates that land administration department shall examine matters concerning land utilization in the feasibility study report or proposal of a project. Before application for land use, a construction project must be subject to pre-examination.

Appendix 5 Review of Resettlement of the Rong’an Sewage Treatment Subproject
1 Background and scope of construction According to the Technical policy of municipal sewage treatment and pollution prevention (Document UC No.124) promulgated jointly by the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Science and Technology on May 29, 2000, the average treatment ratio of all cities and towns of China shall not be less than 5% in 2010, that of district- governing cities not less than 60%, and that of key cities not less than 70%. Rong’an County’s present urban infrastructure construction is backward. According to the Outline of the 11th 5-year Plan of Rong’an County, not only the construction of such infrastructure as roads, flood protection, water supply, communication and network facilities will be accelerated, stress will also be laid on innocent sewage and garbage treatment in the next 5 years. The sewage treatment system of the Rong’an County town will eliminate disorderly sewage drainage in the affected districts/counties and reduce pollutant discharge greatly, thereby reducing the organic load on the aquatic environment in this area and realize the overall environmental protection objectives in the plan. The Rong’an sewage treatment plant is located in Hongwei Village, Chang’an Town, Rong’an County, with a total floor area of 63.5 mu and a near-term floor area of 36.9 mu. By the end of 2007, the land for the Rong’an sewage treatment plant had been acquired, and the affected farmers had been compensated and resettled. Therefore, this report is a review of land acquisition and resettlement for the Rong’an sewage treatment plant. 2 Approval of land for construction According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC and other applicable laws and regulations, any entity or individual that is to use land for construction activity must apply for the use of state- owned land according to law, which means no entity or individual shall use collective land for construction activity. Land for construction must comply with the master plan for land utilization, the annual land utilization plan and the standard for construction land. Therefore, before project implementation, the approval formalities of land use must be completed. On December 31, 2008, the Liuzhou Municipal Land and Resources Bureau promulgated the Reply on the Pre-examination of Land Used for the Construction of the Rong’an County Sewage Treatment Project of Liuzhou Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd. (LLRB Gui [2008] No.129), undertaking to provide land use rights for the Rong’an sewage treatment plant by allocation. The Reply points out that the land area for this project is 4.2333 ha, involving the occupation of 2.0073 ha of farmland and 2.2260 ha of unused land. 3 Project impacts 63.5 mu of land of Bengchong Hamlet, Hongwei Village will be acquired for the Rong’an sewage treatment plant in total, including 30.11 mu of farmland and 33.39 mu of unused land, affecting 182 people out of 40 households; no house demolition is involved. See Attached Table 9. Attached Table 9 Impacts of land acquisition the Rong’an County sewage treatment plant

According to the survey, compensation fees for contracted land have been paid to the affected households. 5 Resettlement program A pattern of “cash compensation + social security” is applied to the resettlement of the households affected by the Rong’an sewage treatment plant. The social security for the land-expropriated farmers is based mainly on the Security Policy of Rong’an County for Land-expropriated Farmers. The measures include: (1) Displaced persons with a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu after land acquisition are entitled to the social security policy. Land-expropriated farmers who cover endowment insurance do not have to pay any expense when attaining the age of 60 full years for men or 55 full years for women, and will receive an endowment insurance benefit of 80 yuan per month from the following month. (2) The sewage treatment plant will make unskilled jobs available to displaced persons after its completion. (3) A reemployment market has been established, and free training is given under the Sunny Project of the county agriculture committee. In Rong’an County, over 4,000 people were trained on cooking, electric welding, bamboo processing and planting of characteristic cash crops, such as kumquat, in 2008. Any displaced person who is willing to be reemployed may attend the training, and will be recommended to work at a nearby enterprise; besides, enterprises also offer free pre-job and skills training to recruits. 6 Income restoration and satisfaction survey of displaced persons To learn the satisfaction of the affected households with the socioeconomic effects of compensation and resettlement in the affected area, the Resettlement Planning Team conducted a sampling survey of the affected households. It is learned from the visit to the affected villages, teams and relocated households that the farmers are satisfied with the resettlement policies. 18 households were surveyed in total, and two households were interviewed in depth.

7 Summary The land acquisition work of the Rong’an sewage treatment plant, has complied with the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC, and land approval, and compensation and resettlement activities for land acquisition have been conducted according to law. The land acquisition procedures, compensation rates and resettlement program not only comply with the state laws and regulations, but have also been accepted and supported by the displaced persons. Through reasonable compensation and effective resettlement, the income level and standard of living of the displaced persons affected by the subproject have been restored. The survey reveals that 55.56% of them think their income is higher than the pre-acquisition level, 44.44% think their income has remained unchanged, and no one thinks his/her income has dropped. Therefore, the overall standard of living of the displaced persons has not been reduced by the subproject. It is learned that there has been no appeal or action arising from land acquisition in the affected area, and the land acquisition, compensation and resettlement activities in this area have been completed successfully.

Appendix 6 Land Occupation of the Liucheng Sewage Treatment Plant
According to the urban layout identified in the Master Plan of the Liucheng County Town (2005- 2025), and the urban topographic and geomorphologic conditions, the Liucheng sewage treatment plant will be built in the south of the Liucheng County town, with an altitude of 94-104m, in close vicinity to the river flat at 200m upstream the Dapu hydropower station on the Rongjiang River, west of the existing road. This plot was formerly farmland owned by the collective, and has been converted into state-owned land for construction of the Dapu hydropower station, and the holder of the right to use the land is Guangxi Guiliu Hydropower Co., Ltd., which has agreed to transfer this plot to the Liucheng sewage treatment plant in a compensated manner. The scheme is the Liucheng County Government uses its dividends on 20% of the shares of Guiliu Hydropower Co., Ltd. to pay the transfer price. This plot is left unused, free from ground buildings, attachments and cultural relics to be protected, and involves no demolition. There is no settlement within the sanitary protection distance of the proposed site, so the construction of this plant does not involve compensation and resettlement for house demolition.
