The Botou City Water Treatment Plant and Urban Water Distribution Network Rehabilitation Project is composed: i) water resources component; ii) water transmission pipeline component; iii) water treatment plant expansion; iv) water distribution network component; v) automatic control system. The Project owner is Botou City Water Supply Co. (BCWSC). 2. Originally the WTP was proposed to be located in the southeast of Botou City and the abandoned disposal site which used as state-owned brick and tile factory before. Based on the preliminary design, the site has been changed to the Botou Industrial Development Zone. The Project permanently uses 35 mu of state-owned land located in the Botou Industrial Development Zone for the WTP construction with no households or persons affected. The land was transferred to the IA by the Administration Office of the Botou City Industrial Development Zone in January 2011. Due to the WTP location change, the RP has been revised. The construction of water transmission pipeline and distribution network also temporarily occupy 431.18 mu of land partially affecting 620 households with 1,915 persons in 17 villages, 3 townships. This includes 13 villages in 2 townships of Nanpi County and 4 villages in 1 township of Botou City. There has been no change of engineering scope. No residential and non-residential structures will be demolished, although some ground attachments will be affected. The compensation payment has been made to the affected owners or persons at a total amount of CNY 5.1386 million and no issues remained up to date. Of the total affected households and
