The subproject aims to strengthen capacity building and public awareness of environmental protection, improve participatory management of sewage and solid waste, strengthen environmental supervision system and ensure the sustainability of project, and actively responds to and cooperates with the construction of "river chiefs" in Jiangxi Province.

2. Subproject of river and lake water environment remediation and improvement of domestic sewage management system, including three projects of remediation of river and lake water environment in Yugan County, Poyang County and Duchang County, and four projects of improvement of domestic sewage system in Duchang County, Jing'an County, Fengxin County and Jishui County, and one project of establishment of Zhuhu rural sewage collection system in Poyang County.

3. Subproject of solid waste collection and transportation system, including the construction and improvement of solid waste collection and transportation system in urban and rural areas of Duchang County, Yugan County, Jing'an county and Shangli County, and the reduction of solid waste discharged into the lake/river system of Poyang Lake Basin. 3

1.2 Mid-term Adjustment

In order to make better use of the World Bank funds and match the development of local economic of each county, the PMOs of Jiangxi Province and each county put forward the mid- term adjustment of the Project in October 2019. The adjusted areas include six counties in seven project areas, including Duchang County, Yugan County, Fengxin County, Jing'an County, Shangli County and Poyang County. The specific project adjustment of each county includes the following contents:

1) Duchang County: the projects of domestic waste collection and transportation system of three towns in the suburb area were cancelled. Due to the unified planning of the garbage collection system in the county, it is no longer necessary to build a garbage collection point at the village level.

2) Yugan County: the project of solid waste collection and transportation system and the project of remediation of Pipa Lake water environment were cancelled. The investment of this part of the original plan was estimated to be 201.141 million yuan, which is used for the reconstruction of sewage pipe network system project of Yugan County. The new project includes reconstruction of sewage pipe network project, reparation of sewage pipe project, extension of drainage pipe network project and sewage household connection project, sewage pump station reconstruction project, online monitoring of water quality of sewage pipe network project, to comprehensively improve the rainwater and sewage collection capacity of the county and increase the capacity of sewage collection and treatment.

3) Fengxin County: the construction of a drainage pump station in Huangsha Port was cancelled and the construction of 8.5km sewage pipe network in the north of the city was reduced. The amount of loan of the project remains unchanged.

4) Jing'an County: the reconstruction project of urban drainage pipe network is subject to line adjustment, and the sections of pipe network construction of Shuangxi Avenue, Baofeng Avenue, Denggao Road, Jiaoyu Road and Lilong Alley was cancelled, in which only the 12.1km original pipe network is retained. New pipe network will be added in Qinghu Road, Xindajie Road; meanwhile, inspection, dredging and 5

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project

reparation of wells and old pipe network will be added in section of cross river and section B of Qinghua Bridge.

5) Shangli County: part of urban and rural garbage collection and transfer system project was optimized and adjusted. The main change is to increase several garbage collection stations; meanwhile, eight townships level waste transfer stations were reduced to seven stations, and 114 village level waste collection stations were adjusted to 57 stations. In addition, 57 endpoints of sewage treatment system, 8 waste dump sites and 302 waste inspection points are planned to be built in 10 townships, with relevant waste collection and transfer equipments to be equipped.

6) Poyang County: the ecological remediation and protection project of Zhuhu River Basin was cancelled. Six roads projects: Commercial Avenue, Central Avenue, Beiwei Third Road, Zhishan Road, Daqiao Road, Donghu West Road and 14 construction and reconstruction projects for old community drainage pipe network were added. See Figure 1-2 for the sketch of pipe network

1.3.2 Impacts of the Reduced Subprojects in Mid-term Adjustement

Seven subprojects in Duchang County, Yugan County, Fengxin County, Jing'an County and Poyang County have been cancelled in the medium-term project. See table 1-2 for the contents and reasons of the reduction of each subproject. The urban domestic waste collection and transportation projects of Duchang County, Yugan County and Jing'an County are cancelled because waste treatment is contracted to the company, so it is not necessary to establish a special transfer system. The project of ecological restoration and protection of Poyang Pearl Lake basin is cancelled due to inconsistency with the planning of the county. Because the above four projects are no longer implemented, there is no need for immigration tracking and monitoring. The construction of 8.5km sewage pipe network in the north area of Fengxin County and 35.68km sewage collection pipe network in Jing'an County have been cancelled because they have been implemented under the county plan. The project of water environment restoration of Pipa Lake in Yugan County project was cancelled due to overlapping with the supporting project of pipe network around Pipa Lake. House demolition of the latter has been completed, and the due diligence report of the project is in Appendix I. These reduced projects involve 100 villages in 14 townships/subdistricts in 5 counties (cities or districts). Acquisition of 181.32 mu of rural collective-owned land is cancelled, including 1.5 mu of paddy field/dry land, 225 people in 72 households are no longer affected by the Project; permanent occupation of 0.164 mu of state-owned land is also cancelled, not involving land acquisition and house demolition. The temporary occupation of 406.08 mu of state-owned land is also cancelled, 561 households with 2483 residents and 322 shops with 1263 residents are no longer affected by the construction disturbance, does not involve house demolition. See table 1-3 for details.

Due to the reduction of some subprojects, the total cost of land acquisition and house demolition of the project is 4.9263 million yuan after the adjustment. Among the total cost of resettlement, rural collective-owned land acquisition fee is 94400 yuan; accounting for 2% of the total cost; taxes and various management fees is 4.8221 million yuan, accounting for 98% of the total cost.

1.5 Measures to Reduce Impacts of Construction

Several measures were taken by the design units and the project owners in the planning and design stage to reduce the impact of construction:

1. At the planning stage of the project, the following measures are taken:

i. Impacts on local economy were taking into account of as the key factor to optimize the plan for comparison the scheme. While the flood control embankment line is selected, the engineering design of cut-off and straightening was avoided to avoid land occupation and keep the river direction as much as possible.

ii. The design is optimized to occupy wasteland and state-owned land as much as possible rather than occupation of cultivated land.

2. During the construction stage of the project, the following measures are taken:

i. Strengthen the mechanism of public participation. Before the construction, the commencement time and construction schedule of the project shall be clearly defined in the form of announcement in the project affected area and resettlement area. The compensation policies for land acquisition and resettlement shall be published to accept the supervision of the affected people.

ii. Measures to reduce dust were taken to keep the construction site clean and reduce the impacts on the surrounding area. In case of continuous fine and windy days during the construction of the sewage treatment project, all kinds of construction access roads in the residential area will be sprinkled to prevent dust. The construction unit will timely plan and handle the transportation path of earthwork, and make sure the truck is not overloaded to prevent earth loader does not fall down along the road. 17

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project

iii. Local construction materials, local transportation and labor forces were given priority during the construction period of the project, so that the affected people by the project can directly get benefit from the project.

3. At the stage of implementation of the resettlement action plan, the following measures were taken to reduce the impact of construction when land acquisition and demolition are inevitable:

i. Strengthen the collection of basic data and make an in-depth analysis of the current situation and future development of the local social economy to formulate a feasible resettlement action plan based on the local reality, and ensure that the affected people will not suffer losses due to the construction of the project.

ii. Actively encourage the public participation and accept the supervision of the masses. The PMOs of each county (city) and Jiangxi Province have repeatedly solicited suggestions and opinions from the people's Congress, CPPCC, mass organizations and residents in the project area on implementation of the resettlement.

iii. Strengthen internal and external monitoring. Establish efficient and smooth feedback mechanism and channel to shorten the information processing cycle as much as possible, so as to ensure that all problems in the process of project implementation can be solved in time.

2 Monitoring and Evaluation on Implementation of the Resettlement

2.1 Impacts of Resettlement of the Original Projects

By the end of December 2019, only two original subprojects—reconstruction of sewage pipe network of Duchang County and water environment automatic monitoring and early warning system of Jing'an have been started. Reconstruction project of sewage pipe network of Duchang County only involves temporary land occupation. During the preparation stage and before the commencement of the project, the PMO of Duchang County posted a number of public notices along Wanli Avenue. After the commencement, the PMO of Duchang County actively communicated with the shops along the road. The surrounding residents and shops have expressed their support for the project. The water environment monitoring center of the automatic detection and early warning system of water environment in Jing'an County obtained the approval of construction land in June 2018. The land used for the project is state-owned land through allocation. The center covers an area of 19.9 mu. See Figure 2-2 for the approval of the land use.

2.2 Reduction of the subprojects

Seven projects in Duchang County, Yugan County, Fengxin County, Jing'an County and Poyang County have been cancelled in the medium-term adjustment. See table 1-2 for the contents and reasons of the reduction of each project. The urban domestic waste collection and transportation projects of Duchang County, Yugan County and Jing'an County are cancelled because waste treatment is contracted to a company, so it is not necessary to establish a special transfer system. The project of ecological restoration and protection of Poyang Pearl Lake basin is cancelled due to inconsistency with the planning of the county. Because the above four projects are no longer implemented, there is no need for immigration tracking and monitoring. The construction of 8.5km sewage pipe network in the north area of Fengxin County and 35.68km sewage collection pipe network in Jing'an County have been cancelled because they have been implemented under the county plan. The two cancelled projects only involve temporary land occupation. By December 2019, the project has been completed and the road

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project has been completely repaired. The surrounding residents and shops are satisfied with the project. The project of water environment restoration of Pipa Lake in Yugan County is the part of the supporting project of pipe network around Pipa Lake. The renovation of shanty town’s project of Pipa Lake in Yugan County is an overall project carried out by Yugan County government and a demolition project to improve the water environment of the Pipa Lake. The project involves house demolish of 1947 households, with an area of 214,109 m2. By December 2019, the house demolition has been completed. Through the sampling survey of the relocated households, it is found that the affected households are satisfied with the resettlement plan. Before the relocation, the infrastructure of shantytown around Pipa Lake was obsolete, the living conditions were poor and traffic is congested. After the relocation, the living conditions and environment were improved. More than 95% of the people support and are very satisfied with the house demolition and resettlement. The due diligence report of the project is in Appendix I.

2.3 Evaluation on Implementation of the Project

By the end of December 2019, only two original subprojects—reconstruction of sewage pipe network of Duchang County and water environment automatic monitoring and early warning system of Jing'an have been started. Reconstruction project of sewage pipe network of Duchang County only involves temporary land occupation. After the commencement, the PMO of Duchang County actively communicated with the shops along the road. The surrounding residents and shops have expressed their support for the project. The water environment monitoring center of the automatic detection and early warning system of water environment in Jing'an County obtained the approval of construction land in June 2018. The land used for the project is state-owned land through allocation. The center covers an area of 19.9 mu. Among the seven cancelled projects in Duchang County, Yugan County, Fengxin County, Jing'an County and Poyang County, the urban domestic waste collection and transportation project of Duchang County, Yugan County and Jing'an County, and the ecological restoration and protection project of Poyang Pearl Lake Basin water system are no longer implemented. Therefore, it is not necessary to continue tracking and monitoring.

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project

The construction of 8.5km sewage pipe network in the north area of Fengxin County and 35.68km sewage collection pipe network in Jing'an County have been cancelled because they have been implemented under the county plan. The projects only involve temporary land occupation. By the end of December 2019, the roads have been returned to normal. The shop and residents along the road are all satisfied with the project. The project of water environment restoration of Pipa Lake in Yugan County is the part of the supporting project of pipe network around Pipa Lake. The renovation of shanty town’s project of Pipa Lake in Yugan County is an overall project carried out by Yugan County government and a demolition project to improve the water environment of the Pipa Lake. The project involves house demolish of 1947 households, with an area of 214,109 m2. By the end of December 2019, the house demolition has been completed. Through the sampling survey of the relocated households, it is found that the affected households are satisfied with the resettlement plan. The monitoring and evaluation team conducted an investigation on the operation of the resettlement agencies of the project. The investigation results show that the PMOs of each county attach importance to the resettlement and assign the special personnel to take charge of the resettlement work. Meanwhile, most of the counties are first time involved in the implementation of the World Bank project, the personnel lack experience and the training of personnel needs to be further strengthened. Although the project is lagging behind in the overall stage, the PMOs of each county have carried out a good preliminary publicity for resettlement. The project is also in orderly progress. Therefore, the external monitoring team suggests that the PMOs of Jiangxi province and each involved county should speed up the project and promote the orderly and rapid progress of the project.

3 Impacts of the New Projects

3.1 Investigation on the Impacts of the project

In order to understand the impact changes brought by the mid-term adjustment of the project, the PMOs of the Jiangxi Province and each involved county (city) and the migration research center of Hohai University formed a field research team in July 2019 and December 2019 in accordance with the requirements of the World Bank. The team organized three five- day socio-economic surveys, and carried out investigations on the affected village groups and households within the scope of the newly added projects. Detailed information on the impact of the project was obtained and updated. The survey adopts a combination of household survey and interview. The survey covers all the scope of land acquisition and house demolition in accordance with the red line of the project. The contents of the survey include the physical quantity affected by land acquisition and demolition, as well as social and economic conditions of the affected population, and public opinions on the resettlement. During the survey, affected units, village groups and immigrants all participated in the investigation. Their opinions as well as that of village group committee, land management department of municipality, municipal housing demolition management department and relevant social groups on land acquisition, demolition and resettlement were widely heard and discussed.

3.2 The Scope of the Project

Resettlement impact of the mid-term adjustment of the World Bank loaned comprehensive pollution treatment and ecological security improvement project of key towns in Poyang Lake Basin of Jiangxi Province involves three counties in Yichun City and Shangrao city, namely (1) Jing'an County of Yichun City; (2) Poyang County of Shangrao City and (3) Yugan County of Shangrao City. The Project only involves temporary occupation of state-owned land. No permanent land acquisition and house demolition is involved, and there is no ethnic minority community within the scope of land acquisition.

3.3 Temporary Occupation of the State-owned Land

According to the Project Panning, the land temporarily occupied by the project shall be used for stacking construction materials, machinery and temporary sheds, especially for the sewage pipe network projects. The excavation area of the road far exceeds the area of the pipe network laying results in a large number of temporary land occupation, which includes the access, entrance, mud pool, inspection well and the temporary road occupation for protection and isolation of the construction site. There are no buildings and ground attachments involved by the Project. The three new subprojects added in the medium-term adjustment involve temporary occupation of state-owned land with the total area of 731.31 mu, due to laying pipe network and road construction. The projects in Jing’an County, Poyang County and Yugan County involve temporary land occupation of 477.60 mu, 203.23 mu and 50.48 mu, respectively. See table 3-1 for the details.

3.5 Impoverished Population

The project pays great attention to the impoverished population. In 2019, the poverty line of China is about 3747 yuan, and that line of Jiangxi Province is consistent with the national

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project poverty line. According to Jiangxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, in the first half of 2019, the urban and rural minimum living standard of Jiangxi province was raised again. The minimum living standard of urban and rural residents reached 580 yuan and 340 yuan, respectively. See table 3-6 for the compensation standards for the impoverished population of each county.

Table 3-6 Compensation Standard for Impoverished Population of Each County (2019） Low-income Family Urban Rural Impoverished County Compensation Population Compensation Population Population Standard Standard (yuan/m) (yuan/m) Yugan 9616 3768 580 9340 340 Poyang 33534 9761 580 31078 340 Jing’an 2793 2389 580 3352 340

As can be seen in the above table, the impoverished population in each county varies from thousands to tens of thousands. However, generally speaking, with the development of the national poverty alleviation, the number of impoverished population in each county is significantly reduced, and each county has established an alleviation mechanism for the impoverished people. According to the field survey, the income of affected immigrants within the project area is higher than the poverty standard, so that the project does not involve the impoverished population.

3.6 Vulnerable Group

Women have the same rights as the men, who are treated equally. Vulnerable groups affected by the Project are defined as disabled people, elderly person of no family, orphan, low- income family and ethnic minorities. Therefore, the majority of vulnerable groups affected by the Project are elderly person of no family, low-income family and ethnic minorities. During the implementation of resettlement, the vulnerable groups affected by the project will be further identified in accordance with their actual conditions such as the family structure, employment status, family resources and the analysis by the local civil affairs department. Once the affected households are identified as the vulnerable group, the project implementation agency will provide special help. According to the field survey, the Project does not involve the vulnerable groups.

4.4 Investigation on affected shops

The three affected counties are all involved in road excavation, which affects the shops on both sides of the road. The building area of the shops varies from 10 m2 to 300 m2, most of which are within 45 m2. The project will have a temporary impact on them. The investigation team conducted an interview survey on the surrounding shops. In total, the affected shops didn't know much about the project. After visiting 175 Stores - 48% of the respondents said they "know a little, but don't know too much"; while 18.29% said they "don't know at all". However, the public's support for the project is very high - 85.14% of the respondents agree with it, and 11.43% of the respondents don't care.

The responses of the three counties to the project are quite different. The shops in Jing'an County are familiar with the project, and they are very welcome. They hope that the pipeline network can be reconstructed to reduce sewage discharge. The project in Yugan County and Poyang County has not been publicized yet, and the surrounding shops do not know the situation.

Although most of the stores support the government's projects, they are also worried about their travel and store operation, hoping to avoid the impact on their normal production and life in the construction process.

Apart from the minor differences in terms and provisions, the main difference lies in the procedure. The World Bank requires that resettlement plans shall be prepared at the beginning of the project preparation phase. However, in domestic practice, in the preparatory stage of general infrastructure construction projects, there is no clear person and institution in charge of resettlement, only land acquisition and demolition costs are considered in the estimation, no detailed socio-economic Investigation, and no consultation with potential affected persons. The specific resettlement plan will not be considered until the approval of the project land, which has entered the project implementation stage.

Jiangxi Province and relevant counties/cities have a complete legal system, which is fully

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project applicable to the land acquisition and resettlement of the project, and there is no significant difference with the policy requirements of the World Bank. In order to successfully implement the resettlement work of the project, it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of the policies and regulations that have been improved. Many efforts have been made to narrow the gap by training project implementation and implementation personnel. In addition, World Bank project officials and project preparation technical assistance experts have fully explained the requirements of the World Bank and the policies of the People’s Republic of China on involuntary relocation to the project implementation and implementation personnel, so that they can fully grasp and understand the above contents. This is a good start for the implementation of the overall project.

It includes two aspects: one is compensation for property according to replacement cost, the other is compensation for other losses according to reciprocity, i.e. how much loss of immigrants and how much compensation.

1. When agricultural land is expropriated, all losses will be compensated reasonably, and the compensation needs to be agreed by the affected person to determine the way of distribution or use. According to the principle of "local resettlement and multi- channel employment", the local government, the project and the village committee will jointly arrange employment to ensure that the living standard of the migrants will not be affected.

2. The public facilities will be fully restored, and their functions will not be lower than the original level at least, so as to maintain the normal life of the people not relocated around the project construction scope.

3. Equivalent compensation will also be provided to the temporarily affected migrants

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project

and some of their property damaged without relocation.

1. The project will focus on the vulnerable groups (the elderly without adult children, widows, single parent families, disabled people, chronic patients and poor families), and will give preferential policies, such as housing, employment and other aspects of reasonable care when moving. After the relocation, regular return visits will be conducted to help them with special difficulties until they are handed over to the local civil affairs department.

2. The project will strive to maximize the cost and benefit of resettlement, strive to improve the resettlement capacity of resettlement institutions, standardize the resettlement behavior, establish a perfect internal control mechanism, prevent the waste, interception, fraud and corruption of funds, so as to make the best use of resettlement funds and achieve the best resettlement effect.

9 Public participation and Appeal mechanism

According to OP4.12 and the state, provincial and county policies and regulations on house demolition and resettlement, in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of displaced persons and relocated entities, reduce grievances and disputes, further improve the policies and implementing rules on house demolition and resettlement, prepare the RAP properly, and organize implementation properly in order to realize the goal of proper resettlement, the participation of and consultation with displaced persons will be highly valued at the policy- making, planning and implementation stages of the Project.

9.1 Public participation

The resettlement program is planed from the aspect of the whole affected region by the Project. Therefore, some issues may be complained due to the change of the actual situations, discrepancy of the implementation in the implementation process. According to experience from many other projects, complains are as the followings:

➢ Physical quantity items

The register physical items may be wrongly counted, miss counted and counted to others due to the error of investigation, statistics and calculating, which will affect benefits of affected residents. When such problems occur, the affected individuals or the village committee shall report orally or in writing, to the PPMO agency, then PPMO agency will organize the comments and forward it to the owners and monitoring agency. Led by the owners, the professionals will go to the site to verify and sign the document of the treatment advice, then the omitted, inaccuracy or false registered physical items shall be registered and receive the compensation according to the compensation standard.

➢ Compensation rates

A small number of affected residents are not aware of policies and regulations, and have doubts about the compensation rates. They may complain about the compensation rate is too low, which may not meet the costs of building and production placement. Cooperated with all levels of government, and the PPMO agencies, designers should go to the site to introduce the

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project project, publicize the country's immigration policies and regulations documents and explain the process of the calculation of the compensation rate, prior to the planning of the resettlement project and implementation process, so that the affected residents can fully understand how the compensation rate is estimated based on relevant state laws and regulations, to ensure the affected resident "to move out, live, to develop, to eliminate the concerns of their hearts.

➢ Funds issue

During the implementation process of the resettlement, the resettlement funds may not be in place in time, which will affect housing and production resettlement of the affected residents. Such problems require resettlement manager and operators conduct control of funds, progress and quality, to ensure resettlement funds is exclusively used for the resettlement, and enforce the financial department release the funds in accordance with the progress to ensure the project is implemented according to the progress plan.

The survey shows that although migrant workers is the main source of the affected farmers income, land acquisition and resettlement is still a big concern for them. They hope the relevant departments shall take full account of the practical difficulties in compensation standard, object and time of land acquisition, and give them the highest compensation rate under the premise of the policies. Relocated residents were worried about relocation compensation is not enough to redeem the cost for the same area of a new house. To solve the above problems, the PPMO office committed that compensation will be in strict accordance with the compensation standards, and they will put great efforts to resolve the practical difficulties encountered by the affected residents. Vulnerable groups affected by the project will also receive a certain degree of subsidiaries from the construction unit.

9.2 Appeal channel and mechanisms

My family used to live next to Pipa Lake, and I watched the water get worse every day, especially in the summer, and the smell of the lake was terrible. Originally the road is difficult to walk, most afraid of rainy days, when it rains, the road is not easy to walk, the lake is very

Mid-term adjustment of The World Bank Poyang Lake Basin Town Water Environment Management Project dirty. The government wants to transform Lake Pipa and we support and agree with the project. My original housing area is 98.77 square meters, and I used to live on the fifth floor. According to the demolition policy, we asked for a house of 120 square meters. Since my mother was demolishing the house at the same time, she wanted a small area, so I could enjoy her remaining 10 square meters, so that I don't need to spend more money when I move to a new house.And I received 70,000 yuan in compensation.

I chose the house in December 2017. At that time, I could choose the commercial house already built in the county or the resettlement house. I chose the resettlement house. During the construction of biwahu resettlement community, I was worried about the quality problem. I went to the construction site for a look almost a week. When the house was built, I was quite satisfied. The house was built in 2018, but I haven't decorated it all the time. My house was also worth 140000 yuan. Now the price of the houses in the county has increased. My house can sell for more than 500000 yuan. I'm very happy.
