On July 18th to 28th and August 2nd to 10th, 2011, SCDRI made baseline survey and prepared Resettlement Baseline Survey Report of Risk Mitigation of Endangered Reservoir Project according to the requirements of the relevant policy guidelines of ADB. There are some data changes in this survey compared with the original RAP. These changes are mainly due to the following two reasons: 1. To reduce the impact on the local and surrounding community and environment in accordance with ADB's principles on involuntary resettlement, the project was optimized in the course of the preliminary design. 2. The social and economic assets of the affected villages, people and households have changed in the past two years. Sincere thanks for the help of PMO of Water Resources Bureau, project units, the affected towns / district offices, village committees and affected villagers!

Project summary 1.1 Project introduction There are 5820 reservoirs in Shandong province including 34 large-scale reservoirs, 154 medium-sized reservoirs and 5632 small reservoirs. All of large-scale reservoirs reinforcement project has been completed. Due to funding constraints, the remaining issues still exist. Most of medium-sized reservoirs can not normally run because of lack of money. 1326 small dangerous reservoirs start to be constructed in Shandong province which is facing a severe situation. There are many difficulties such as lack of money in reservoir reinforcement work. The use of loan from ADB can give support in capital, advanced technology and administration experiences which can promote the construction of dangerous reservoirs in Shandong province. There are a total of 9 sub-projects in the ADB loans t project includes which include Renhe Reservoir, Songshan reservoir, Qiangkuang reservoir in Weifang City, Muyu reservoir in Laiyang County of Yantai city, Shizuizi reservoir in Shanting District of Zaozhuang city, Huacun reservoir and Longwantao reservoir in Sishui County of Jining city, Anjing reservoir and Yangzhuang reservoir in Pingyi County of Linyi city. Reservoirs are used to control flood, irrigate, power generation, fish farming and urban water supply. There is no land requisition and house demolition in Shizuizi reservoir in Shanting District of Zaozhuang city, and the other 8 sub-projects made RAP and were approved by ADB. During design period, Yangzhuang reservoir and Anjing reservoir quit the ADB project, so there are 6 reservoirs which need investigation and report preparation. According to RAP, 238 households with 844 people are affected. 7 households
