Basic Conditions of the Project 1.1 Brief Introduction of the Project The World Bank Loan is used to harness the key plain depression, the acreage of which is 1769.90 square kilometers, concerning the Nansi Lake Binhu depression in Jining, Yanyun depression in Zaozhuang, Tancang depression in Linyi. The area of depression in Jining is about 648.70 square kilometers, distributed in the surrounding areas of Nansi Lake; 183.07 square kilometers of Zaozhuang distributed in Binhu east of Nansi Lake and Hanzhuang canal coast; 938.13 square kilometers of Linyi, distributed in the Baima and Wutan River Valley in Tancang plain area. Based on the basic conditions and the problems in the key depression in Huaihe River Valley, under the principle of putting the most seriously affected area at the top of the list, the Project focuses on resolving the problems of low standard of flood control and drainage, as well as damage and serious ageing problems of the existing engineering. The overall planning layout is as follows: Waterway works: it is prevalent in the depressions with serious sedimentation and low standard of flood control and drainage. This Project plans to dredge a 90.342 kilometers long riverway following the standard of flood control and to rehabitate or build new dikes in order to improve the ability of flood control and drainage. Building works: mostly built in the 1960s and 1970s, the existing buildings in the depression are small-scaled and serious damaged. In view of the existing problems of different buildings and the need of flood control and drainage in depression area, comprehensive actions are taken such as building new ones, maintaining or strengthening the old ones. The newly built or reconstructed works include 29 culvert gates, 6 bridges and 15 drainage and irrigation stations, as well rehabitation works include 25 drainage and irrigation stations. According to the implementation schedule, the period is 4-year. In the first year the land requisition is 132.5 mu and 3 families need removal, and there are 7 other families being impacted to ancillary buildings, in which, 5 families with non- certificated buildings and 2 families with ancillary buildings.

The World Bank (WB), Planning and Programing Department of MWR, together with Rural Economic Depatment of National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), International Cooperation, Sciense and Technology Department of MWR, Huai River Commission (HRC), as well as four concerning provincial government of Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong, cooperated to prepare this Project of Huai River Basin Flood Management and Drainage Improvement (HFMDIP). The government of Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong successively disclosed concerning files as Yu (Henan) Water Planning 2003 176 Wan (Anhui) Water Planing 2003 902, Su (jiangsu) Water Planning 2003 214, and Lu (Shandong) Water Planning 2003 166, to apply to this Project. The State Council held a meeting to boost the preparation of depression impreovement in Huai river basin. Therefore, the MWR general office issued a Notice on a Certain Problems about Depression Improvement using Loan of World Bank, [2004]115. In April 2005, the China Water Huai River Engineering Co., LTD. (CWHRE) consolidated the papers of four provinces into the Feasibility Study of HFMDIP, and in May, Oct. and Nov., the General Institute of Water and Electricity Program and Planning (GIWEPP) examined and revised the Study, with approvement in substance. In April 2006, on the basis of the Feasibility Study, CWHRE organized the program agencies of four provincies to work out the Proposal of HFMDIP, which was evaluated by China International Engineering Consultation Company (CIECC) in July 21st to 24th 2006. The Rural Economic Department of NDRC approved with Approvement of the Proposal on HFMDIP using Loan of World Bank, [2008]1496. From Oct. 2005, the World Bank mission of identification, preparation and pre- evaluation visited China for check and evaluation about the Project preparation, with 4 Resettlement Action Plan (Year 1) in Shandong recommendations of approvement basically, issuing the Aide-memoire of pre- evaluation mission about HFMDIP using Loan of World Bank. Based on the recommendations of CIECC and Aide-memoire of pre-evaluation mission, the four governments worked out their own Feasibility Study, and the first- year resettlement plan in Shandong was revised on this base. From Oct. 27th to Nov. 15th, 2008, the evaluation mission of World Bank checked and revised the papers with recommendations, and came into Adide-memoire. The first-year resettlement plan in Shandong was revised again acoordingly and formed into this Paper. 1.3 Benefited Areas and Affected Areas by the Project The affected areas of the project covers 13 counties (cities, districts) in Zaozhuang, Linyi and Jining, totally 30 towns and 150 administrative villages. Among them are 7 towns and 25 administrative villages in Tai Erzhuang, Yicheng, Xuecheng and Tengzhou in Zaozhuang; 6 towns and 45 administrative villages of Cangshan and Tancheng counties in Linyi; 17 town and 83 administrative villages of Rencheng, Jinxiang, Jiaxiang, Weishan, Yutai, Wenshang and Liangshan counties in Jining. The permenant land requisition is 726.52 mu, belonging to the village collective, in which, cultivated land 638.45 mu, bottom land 61 mu and construction-perposed land 27.06 mu. The provisional land requisition is 2189.03 mu of cultivated land, belonging to the village collective. The removal residential houses occupies 6550.3 m , concerning 80 families and 239 persons, in which, admixture 2450.3 m , bricky house 3117 m , board house 613.5 m , and thatched cottage 369.5 m . In addition, there are disadvantage groups concerning 13 families and 39 persons, as well as 13 ground attachment and public facilities impacted. In the first year of implementation, the removal impacts 18 administrative villages in 8 towns, 5 counties, in details, i.e. 1 village in 1 town of Tengzhou, Zaozhuang; 10 villages in 2 towns of Cangshan and Tancheng, Linyi; 7 villages in 5 towns of Jinxiang and Liangshan, Jining. According to the current yearly Stat., the agricultral population of 453,200 invoving in the Project. 1.4 Socio-Economic Background of the Project Area Located in the eastern, southern and southwestern parts of Shandong, Huai River Basin in Shandong Province refers to the upper and middle reaches of Yi River, Shu River and Si River, along with Shandong Peninsula. The administrative division of Huai River Basin includes the whole area of Linyi, Zaozhuang, Jining and Heze, along with parts of Rizhao, Zibo, Tai’an, Qingdao and Jinan. It altogether includes 9 cities, 36 counties (cities), a population of 34 million, with 2.34 million hectares of cultivated land and an annual grain output of 9.38 million tons. The basin is temperate monsoon climate with an average temperature of 13 ~ 14 and a multi-year average precipitation of 723 mm. The distribution of rainfall during the year 5 Resettlement Action Plan (Year 1) in Shandong is extremely uneven and the rainfall of the flood season (June to September) accounts for 70 percent of the whole year’s rainfall. The Project area administratively locates in counties of Rencheng, Jinxiang, Jiaxiang, Weishan, Yutai, Wenshang and Liangshan of Jining Municipality, as well as Tai’erzhuang, Xuecheng, Yicheng and Tengzhou of Zaozhuang Municipality, along with Cangshan and Tancheng of Linyi Municipality. According to the statistics of 2007, the Project area is 13265.43 km , in which cultivated land 9.9209 million mu with yearly grain output of 4.3136 million tons. The population of this area is 9,398,500 and the total industrial output value is 50.2171 billion yuan. The net income per capita of farmers is 2,823 yuan. 1.5 Total Project Cost and Source of Funds The estimated total cost of removal and resettlement compensation in the first year is 7,555,200 yuan, in which, in Yanyun depression, 157,500 yuan; in Tancang depresison, 7,020,200 yuan; and in Nansi lake depression, 377,600 yuan. According to Project schedule, the cost is financed by loan from World Bank, counterpar fund from Central Government, and local self-financing fund. 1.6 Actions to Taken to Mitigate the Project Impact In the planning and designing stage of the Project, in order to mitigate the impact of the construction on the local socio-economy, the designing agency and the Project owners take some effective actions: 1. In the planning stage, when we compare and select the program optimizations, we try to find ways to reduce the land requisition and removal actions and lower down the negative effects of the project construction on the local socio-economy as possible as we can, and take it as a key factor when choosing a program.
