Zhaozhou Township Infrastructure Improvement Component Resettlement Plan Urban Construction Investment Co. Ltd. of Zhao County 1st October 2008 ENDORSEMENT LETTER FOR THE RESETTLEMENT PLAN With sufficient assistances from all sub-project units, we have prepared and compiled this Resettlement Plan (RP) for Zhaozhou Township Infrastructure Improvement Project. This RP is in accordance with relevant laws, policies and regulations of PRC, Hebei Province, Shijiazhuang City and Zhao County as well as the involuntary resettlement policies of Asian Development Bank. We endorse the actuality of the PR and have the commitment to the smooth implementation of land acquisition, house demolition, resettlement, compensation and budget. The PR is based on the Feasibility Study Report and the primary socio-economic survey. Once the project construction differs from the Feasibility Study Report and impacts on the implementation of the PR essentially, the PR should be revised timely and appropriately and reported to ADB for approval before its implementation.
