1 General Information about the Project
Guangdong Component of IWW4 Project of China consists of three sub-projects,
and they are: Lao-long-hu Waterway Regulation Works, Xiniu Navigation Complex
on Lianjiang River and Waterway Regulation Works on middle reaches of the
Beijiang River (from Shaoguan to Zhongyuan).
1.1 Background of the Project
To build waterways network in Pearl River Delta (PRD) and waterways in
mountain areas is to meet the strategic demands of CPC Guangdong Committee and
Guangdong Provincial Government to take the lead in realizing modernization in
PRD regions and to accelerate economic development from east to west and from
south to north. During the period of the eighth and ninth five-year plan, waterways
network in PRD with the major waterway channel on Xijiang River as the principal
axis was emphasized for construction. Till the beginning of the tenth five-year plan,
skeleton of the waterways network in PRD with "three horizontal and three vertical"
has been basically come into being. During the period of the tenth five-year plan, to
start extending these waterways to neighboring regions is the external demand to
develop overwater transportation. Waterway on middle reaches of the Beijiang River
(from Shaoguan to Zhongyuan), Lao-long-hu waterway and Xiniu Navigation
Complex on Lianjiang River are infrastructures linking overwater communications
from mountain areas to seaside regions and from fully economy developed regions to
less developed regions. The execution of the construction works will cause
unsubstitutable effects on improving shipping conditions in PRD and investment
environment in mountain areas of Guangdong, and accelerating economic
development in mountain areas of middle and north Guangdong. It has been many
times for delegates to Provincial People's Congress in Guangdong and Guangdong
Provincial Committee of Chinese People Political Consultative Conference to bring
forward proposals on regulating waterways. The project has received great attention
and strong support from Ministry of Communications, Guangdong Provincial
Development Planning Commission, Department of Public Finance, and Department
of Communications. No house dismantling & moving and migrants moving are
needed in the three works, and only little land acquisition is needed, which results in
small impacts of land acquisition, dismantling & moving, low costs and high efficacy.



1.2 General Situation of the Project
Lao-long-hu Waterway Regulation Works:
Lao-long-hu waterway locates in Xinhui city, consisting of north section of Laolao
brook, Longquan Sea, tail of Babao waterway and tail of Hukeng waterway. It is
water route of economy linking mainstream of the Xijiang River and the Tanjiang
River Yinzhou Lake, long as 16km, flowing into the sea from Yinzhou Lake. The
waterway is one of the most important horizons of the "three horizontal and three
vertical" in the Total Layout and Programming of Guangdong Component of IWW.
It's designed to be built as a National Third-Class Inner Waterway, open to navigate
seagoing ships of tonnage of 1000 tons.
The major characteristic of Lao-long-hu Waterway is its natural conditions of deep
water. On the whole, its 5-meter isobath has run through, and the riverbed is stable,
but it has a narrow riverway. Major implementation of project's works includes:
dredging up, straightening crooks, blasting reefs, retaining riverbank, navigation mark
and communications works, etc. It's estimated that an investment of about RMB
216,116,600 is needed.
Please see table 1 about the basic information about the works.

After completion of Lao-long-hu Waterway Regulation Works, passengers or
cargos ships of 1000 tons level can enter Yinzhou Lake (also named Yamen
waterway). It is about 21.34km long from Hukengkou to Yamen (Yanan). Yamen
waterway is the biggest waterway entrance to sea in the west of PRD, also one of
major entrances in the Tanjing River drainage area and on lower reaches of the
Xijiang River. Yinzhou Lake has very good conditions of water area, with a width of
1200-2000 meters, and keeps natural depth of 8.0-14.0 meters in long term. For its
2



large width of water area and silent wave, it is looked as a perfect waterway to
navigate river steamers or seagoing ships of high tonnage, as well as a good route into
ports for seagoing ships of ten thousands tons level in Xinhui harbor. Three km up
from Hukengkou, there locates Xinhui Tianma harbor, which was designed and built
at a throughput scale of 860 thousand tons, and a docking capacity of 5000 tons. The
docking capacity is programmed as 10 thousand tons level. Therefore, it will decrease
costs of social transportation and generate enormous economic benefits and social
interests to regulate Lao-long-hu waterway, and to connect central zone of PRD and
natural seaside harbors.
Xiniu Navigation Complex on the Lianjiang River
Xiniu Navigation Complex lies in the river section between upriver and
downriver Liangzhou, which is 3.5km upper from Xiniu Town Yingde City on main
stream of the Lianjiang River, and it is the twelfth rundle in the program of trenching
works on The Lianjiang River. Water level on upper reaches of the complex works is
linked up with that on lower reaches of the Jiaqiaoshi complex in Hanguang Town,
and water level on its lower reaches is linked up with that on tail section of Feilai
gorge irrigation complex on the Beijiang River. There is about 12.17km of backwater
in reservoir, and about 8,557 km2 of drainage area is under the control of Xiniu
complex. In many years, the annual average runoff area reached 314m2/S, and the
annual average quantity of runoff reached 137.5million m 3. The project is an
integrated whole used mainly for shipping, as well as generating electricity, irrigating,
breeding and tourism. Xiniu waterway and ship gates reach class VI, open to navigate
ships of 100 tons level. The ship gates are designed totally to allow ships of two
million tons level to pass through in a whole year. The electricity-generating station is
designed to have an installed capacity of 6400KW, and to generate electricity of
35,960,000 KWH in a whole year. Totally, an investment of about RMB 279,128,600
is needed in this project, and planned to be completed in three years.
Waterway Regulation Works on Middle Reaches of the Beijiang River
The project has a total length of 184km, and a National Fifth-Class Inner
Waterway is planned to be built, open to navigate ships of 300 tons level. Scopes
related in the regulation works include such four counties or cities as Shaoguan,
Qujiang, Yingde and Qingxin. According to natural conditions of riverway, it is
divided into such three sections as follow:
a) Section from Shaoguan to Yingde, 102km long, is attributed to rivers in
3



mountain areas.
b) Section from Yingde to Feilai Gorge complex, 52km long, belongs to Feilai
gorge reservoir.
c) Section from Feilai Gorge complex to Qingyuan, is 30km long.
Major measures for Waterway Regulation Works on middle reaches of the
Beijiang River include: building dams, dredging waterways, bombing down reefs and
retaining riverbanks. Along the whole riverway, there are 41 dangerous shoals
needing to be regulated, 226 dams of 46.71km long in total needing to be built.
Besides, earthwork of 60. 47 X 104m3 needs to be dredged and there are 3 reefs to be
bombed down. There is no migrating works needed in this project at all. Except that a
little state-owned construction-used land and wasteland along river beaches needs to
be taken into land acquisition, no cultivated land in village needs to be acquired in the
project.
1.3 Regions Benefiting from the Project
To regulate Lao-long-hu waterway will be of advantage to full play the integral
advantages on shipping on Xijiang River, and will promote joint transportation
through river and sea and will benefit the whole drainage area along the Xijiang River.
Nowadays, shipping on Xijiang River is limited mainly in materials exchange among
hinterland, only adapted for introverted and occluded economy. After completion of
the project, former transportation situation will take radical changes, and joint
transportation through river and sea will be realized to promote materials exchange
between hinterland and foreign sides, and to promote economic exuberance in
hinterland.
Xijiang is the second biggest navigation river in our country, only inferior to
Yangtse River. It runs 2214km long, across such four provinces or regions as Yunnan,
Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong. In hinterland along the Xijiang River, the climate
is mild and there is enough precipitation rain falls, abundant resource of water power
and mineral. In drainage area along the river, it is abundant in such mine resources as
coal, phosphor, sulfur and aluminum, as well as abundant timber, which will be
carried down the river and exported from Yinzhou Lake harbor; and, imported
materials can be transferred to regions in drainage area along the river. Not only can
the project accelerate economic development in Xinhui city and migration towns
nearby for improving Communications, but also it can promote economic
4



development in drainage area along the Xijiang and the Beijiang River.
Lao-long-hu waterway regulation works will bring most benefits to Xinhui city.
Taking advantages of conditions as a river port and migration hometown, Xinhui city
is dedicating itself to develop port economy, using ports to drive economic and social
development of the whole city. Construction of the waterway will facilitate materials
transfer through Yinzhou Lake port which is planned in the program, and take full use
of Yinzhou Lake as a deep water port, as well as it will promote the port construction
of Yinzhou Lake. Then, the economic hinterland along Yinzhou Lake port will be
extended to the whole drainage area of the Xijiang and Beijing River. Construction of
the waterway will make Yinzhou Lake port be an important one in PRD, even in
seaside regions of south China. If the communication between Yinzhou Lake and the
Xijiang River relies only on Jiangmen waterway which is open to navigate ships of
500 tons level or on Lao-long-hu waterway which is still of low standard now, the
function of Yinzhou Lake as a deep water port will be restricted, and the distance of
transportation will be increased, which results in heavier transportation costs for
shipping departments. Construction of the waterway will reduce the shipping distance
among Hong Kong, Macau and PRD by 40km, so 80km for a total voyage.
Regions benefiting from Xiniu works will be drainage area of The Lianjiang
River which is in poor mountain areas of north Guangdong. Total area of the drainage
area is about 10061 km2, and 77% of it is hill and mountain areas. Major hinterland of
the drainage area is Lianzhou city, Yangshan County and Yingde city. The area can be
radiated up to Guangdong Lianshan, Liannan County and abutting counties of
Guangxi and Hunan. Climate of areas mentioned above can be attributed to a
semi-tropical one. It is mild and has plenty of precipitation rain falls and abundant
natural resources as a base of woods and mines resources in Guangdong province, but
it is in great lake of communications infrastructures. For overlapping hills and
mountains and obstacles in communications, economic resources are not in effective
and full exploration and use in long term, which dropped local economy behind and
resulted in low living standards. Among these areas, Yangshan, Liannan, Lianshan and
Yingde are the most famous counties in Guangdong province for their poverty, with
large amount of depressed villages and needy people. Many of these households have
net average incomes below the poverty line of RMB1000. Therefore, to construct
Xiniu navigation complex works, to realize the drenching and navigation along the
whole side of The Lianjiang River, and to take into consideration the comprehensive
5



utilization of water resources such as flood prevention, electricity generation and
irrigation works, will have very important meanings in constructing mountain areas
and changing visage of these depressed regions. The other eleven rundles on The
Lianjiang River have been drenched long ago, and Xiniu navigation complex is the
last rundle in drenching exploitation on The Lianjiang River. So, to construct Xiniu
navigation complex works will increase profits from investing in regulation works of
eleven navigation complexes on upper reaches, Feilai Gorge complex works on lower
reaches and waterway regulation works on lower reaches of Beijiang River.
Regions benefiting directly from Waterway Regulation Works on middle reaches
of the Beijiang River are Shaoguan and Qingyuan City, while Zhaoqing, Foshan and
Guangzhou City will benefit indirectly from the works. There are abundant resources
of mines and forests in drainage area along the Beijiang River. All through the ages,
Beijiang River is a main water transportation artery communicating mountain areas of
north Guangdong with PRD. Toward west from outfall on lower reaches of the
Beijiang River and up long the Xijiang River, locate such cities as Zhaoqing and
Wuzhou. The waterway regulation works from Qingyuan on the lower reaches of
Beijiang River, to Sanshui outfall has been ongoing since 1996, and now it has been
finished on the whole. In this way, ships of 300 tons level can reach main ports in
PRD directly from Qingyuan, so there are obvious benefits of shipping. If to continue
to regulate waterway from Shaoguan on the middle reaches of the Beijiang River to
Qingyuan, and to make the whole line of 258km on the Beijiang River reach
Fifth-class standard of Inner Waterway, will allow ships of 300 tons level to navigate
through in the whole year. If such the three works as regulation works of eleven
navigation complexes on The Lianjiang River, Feilai Gorge complex works and
waterway regulation works from Qingyuan on lower reaches of the Beijiang River to
Sanshui outfall are added into consideration, main waterways on the Beijiang River
will be connected as a whole. By these, all kinds of water-carriage works will be in
full and good use and the behind by-water transportation situation in mountain areas
of north Guangdong will be improved greatly.
Besides obvious shipping benefits, outstanding meanings for poverty alleviation
and development are seen from Waterway Regulation Works on Beijiang River.
Similar with Qingyuan region, Shaoguan region mainly consists of mountain areas,
with large areas covered by limestone and high mountains. There are a large number
of needy population and depressed towns all over the whole region. In these, there are
6



49 depressed towns, accounting for 30% of the total amount of towns in this region,
and 396 depressed villages, accounting for 31% of total amount. In the region, traffic
is very inconvenient. In some mountain areas, mountains are in front of the door and
boats are necessary for going out. Therefore, on one hand, by regulating waterways on
the Beijiang River, economic structure, investment environment and network of
traffic and transportation by-water or overland in mountain areas will be improved; on
the other hand, opportunities of social employment will be increased, and living
standard in mountain areas will be raised.
1.4 Measures for Reducing Impacts of Migration and of the Project
In the view of business owner, the purpose of waterway regulation project is, by
amending network of traffic and transportation by water or on overland in nearby
regions, to improve construction environment of local society, and to improve the
level of local economic development. Then, the final purpose is to raise living
standards in local society. Therefore, during the process of construction, factors
causing negative effects on people's life should be under effective control and be
reduced, especially occupation of cultivated land in rural areas should be restricted.
By such means as planning scientifically, improving designing and broad public
participation, impacts of the project on cultivated land will be decreased to a possible
low level.
1.4.1 Measures Adopted in Lao-long-hu Works
In middle of 2001, the project was in planning stage. At that time, by
investigating and checking real materials, business owner and design unit proposed
that during the process of project construction, as small amount of cultivated land as
possible can be acquired, especially cultivated land in basic farmland protection zone;
and greatest try should be taken to avoid acquiring orchards (lichee, longan) and
mandarin fish ponds which have high added values, and land used temporarily should
only be obtained from abandoned wasteland, billabongs and fishponds.
During period from Oct. 2001 to Jan. 2002, the project was in initial designing
phase. Taking into consideration the facts that lot of cultivated land has to be acquired
in process of crooks-cutting works in Longquan village, business owner and design
unit of the project did careful study on four recommended blueprints options. At last,
options No. 3 was selected for its scientific attribute.
7



Table 2: Four Options of Crooks Straightening
Options        Radii of crooks     Quantity of land
straightening (meter)  acquisition (mu)
Options No.1         330                    646
Options No.2         480                    816
Options No.3         530                    869
Options No.4         600                    930
Option No.3 is recommended. Quantity of land acquisition in optiont No.3 is 60
mu less than that of option No.4. Because in these areas there are lots of fishponds and
paddy fields, and also a little massif of 13 meters high with lichee trees planted. In
option No.2, the little massif is crossed through, and it's necessary to move the massif
and evacuate trees, so there are heavy tasks in the project. In order to decrease the
impacts, it's decided to select option No.3, in which the massif will be bypassed, and
technical demands will be met.
In Longquan village, there are two banyan trees as old as 100 years in the scope of
Xiaoqiezui. In order to protect the scarce visage in the village and to reduce the
impacts, it is decided to widen the riverway on the other side.
From March to May of 2002, business owner, design unit, municipal government
of Xinhui and its underlying Bureau of Communications and Bureau of land and
resources have negotiated and communicated for many times to solicit the opinions on
project design and reducing the impacts of land acquisition.
On May 24th 2002, investigation organization transferred the full project design
and blue print about land acquisition to Villagers Committee of Longquan village, and
convened a symposium including some villagers, and by studying the design blueprint
and comparing it with the locale, let them know the scope of land acquisition and
possible measures for recovery. The Committee and villagers were advised and
encouraged to take positive participation, and to make some suggestions on the
impacts of land acquisition and others.
On June 12th 2002, in Muzhou town, investigation organization received
Longquan village's suggestions on reducing the impacts of the project, and then
transferred these suggestions to business owner and design unit.
On July 16th 2002, representatives of business owner, design unit and
investigation organization came to Xinhui municipal government to hold a negotiation
meeting. Business owner accepted suggestions of representatives of villagers and
8



governors of the town government, and decided to modify the planning design.
Finally, they decided that about 284.5 mu of land be acquired in the crooks-cutting
works (land of about 71 mu used for building bridges are not included). In design of
this blue print, land to be acquired is 584.5 mu less than that in the blue print of Oct.
2001. Till that time, impacts of land acquisition has been reduced to a minimal level
when the project was in the planning phase.
1.4.2 Measures Adopted in Xiniu Works
In the stage of studying the feasibility of the project, the design institution has such
two schemes as upriver and downriver Liangzhou for dam's address. Business owner
recommended upriver Liangzhou as the address, to avoid acquiring 50 mu of orchards
in downriver Liangzhou, and reduce the impacts.
In April 2002, in deciding the permanent land to be acquired for working and
living, it was decided with Yingde and Xiniu Bureaus of Land and Resources that no
basic farmland protection zone be acquired, and that greatest effort be made to reduce
acquisition of paddy fields (which is the major foods resources for farmers in local
region), and land to be acquired should be sandy land (or dry land) with poor
cultivating conditions along The Lianjiang River. In previous time, these areas of land
were bottomland scoured out by Lianjiang River. After farmers reclaimed this land,
bamboo and corps able to bear dry weather are planted in this land. But the average
output of per mu is much lower than that in nearby areas.
Besides, quantity of construction-used land for working and living houses is under
effective control of business owner and design unit. In selecting corresponding
facilities, roads and pipe lines, it has been considered to reduce acquisition of
farmland, and to use bottomland along river and land not used for cultivation.
In June 2002, for the characteristic that farmland in such villages as Yuzui and
Zhengnan tend to be submerged by floods, design unit had made on-the-spot survey
for many times, and by many experiments, improved the design of dam's body and
water storage in reservoir, which reduced the possibility of being submerged by
floods by a large degree.
In August 2002, it has been planned to rent about 463.3 mu land used temporarily
in Xilian and Xiaowan village. Among this land, there is 205 mu of cultivated land, 53
mu of orchards and 96.2 mu of forest land. In order to reduce the impacts of
occupying cultivated land, after negotiating with Bureau of Land and Resources,
cadres of Villagers Committee and villagers' representatives, business owner and

2 Socioeconomic Situations in Project Area
Regions which the construction will be in and will be influenced by the project
are Muzhou and Gujin town in Xinhui city, Xiniu and Hanguang town in Yingde city.
Eleven Villagers Committees are included in the scope to be under impacts.
2.1 Nature, Society and Economy Background of Regions Involved in the
Project
Lao-long-hu waterway locates within the boundaries of Xinhui city Guangdong
province.
Xinhui city was renamed as a city from a county in October 1992. The city
2
covers an area of 1,679 km , with a population of 870,000. The city is famous as a
hometown of overseas Chinese in Guangdong, for about 800,000 overseas Chinese
and compatriots in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are from the city. The city has
jurisdiction over 21 towns, with municipal government in Huicheng town.
Xinhui city lies in middle-south Guangdong, or west PRD. Terrain of the city
slopes from northwest to southeast. Physical feature of northwest and south of the city
is upland, and that of middle of the city is flatland. About 65 percent of the total area
is plain. Shizitou peak, the highest peak of Gudou Mountain lying in southwest of the
city, stands 982 meters high above sea level, and is known as the highest peak of the
city. The Xijiang River runs through east of the city, while the Tanjiang River runs
from west to east of the city, turning south near Huicheng, and flows into the sea at
Yamen.
The city lies in south subtropics, with an average temperature of 21.8 "C in a
whole year, 13.4 °C in January and 28.3 °C in July. Annual average rainfall is about
1789 mm. The rainfall is centralized from May to September, and the city is often
attacked by typhoon in summer.
Mine resources mainly include silicon and grit, with some tungsten, stannum,
lignite, niobium, quartz grit and potassium stone, etc.
There is about 611,000 mu of cultivated land in the city. The land is rich and
fertile, with many kinds of outputs. The city is known as a well-watered place where
fish, rice and fruits are abundant. Crops mainly consist of paddy, fruits, sugar cane,
peanuts, sunflowers, soybeans, silkworms and mulberries, cassavas, tobaccos, yellow
flower hemps, vegetables and teas, etc. The city is densely covered by waterways
network, with many kinds of aquatic products. A rapid industrial development is
20



maintained, and the industry mainly includes chemical fibre spinning industry, clothes,
machinery, building materials, electrical machinery, chemical industry and food
processing industry, etc. Chemical fibre spinning industry has advanced producing
facilities, with products sold outsides far away.
Since 1986, Xinhui city has maintained continuous GDP growths of more than
15% for 15 years. Rapid growth in GDP promotes corresponding growth in by-water
transportation. Hinterland along the Tanjiang River belongs to PRD regions, with
secondary and tertiary industries as more than 80% of the whole GDP, and an average
per capita income of more than RMB 10,000. Living standard increases rapidly.
Farmers almost live in storied buildings, and live rich life. Overseas Chinese invested
here and opened factories, and privately owned enterprises build factories in Xinhui
city, therefore, many enterprises provided many opportunities of employment for
Xinhui. At leisure time from farming, many villagers of Xinhui city go into these
factories to do manual work. Almost all of the households have members doing work
in factories. Different from other places, they do manual work in their own
hometowns, without going out, and live rich life. For lake of labor forces in this
region, about one hundred thousand manual workers from other cities were employed
in the city.
Traffic by-water or overland in Xinhui city is very convenient. Shakou to Shuikou
section of provincial highway traverses boundaries of the city, and Xinhui to east
Fan-rong-chang-sheng highway passes. It is feasible to reach Kaiping, Zhaoqing and
Guangzhou by by-water traffic, and from Yamen it is feasible to reach seaside ports
and Hong Kong, Macau.
Xiniu works locates within Yingde city. The city has a long history, known as a
city with ancient civilization in south of the Five Ridges. It was called Yingzhou in
ancient times, famous for its richness in quartzite. The city lies in middle Guangdong,
on upper and middle reaches of the Beijiang River, on the place where PRD and
mountain areas of north Guangdong are connected, with highland in its north and
lowland in its south. The city is divided into east and west parts by Huashi Mountain
running from south to north on east side of the Beijiang River. Most of the mountains
higher than 1000 meters are distributed in north of the city, and on both sides of rivers
there are often river valleys, plains and basins among mountains. In north of the city,
Chuandi Peak is the highest peak of the city, with a height above sea level of 1,568
meters. The Beijiang River runs through boundaries of the city, and the Lianjiang and
21



Wengjiang River flow into the Beijiang River from northwest and northeast
respectively.
There are 33 towns and one tour zone under jurisdiction of Yingde city. Now the
city has a population of 1,010,000 and 349,662 among these are agricultural labors
forces, 165,015 are female labors forces. Among labor forces, 244,174 are engaged in
agriculture, and 10,789 are engaged in industry, while there are 63,987 engaged out of
the city. For lake of cultivated land and insufficient employment in the region, there
are abundant surplus labor forces in rural areas. Area of the city is about 5,671 kmi2,
known as the biggest county-level administrative region in Guangdong province.
However, agriculture in the city is short of cultivatable resources, with cultivated land
of only 788,507 mu (58% of which is paddy field and dry land).
There is an annual average runoff quantity of 37.6 billion m3 in three main water
systems of the Beijiang, Lianjiang and Wenjiang River and their sixteen branches.
Among these, the Beijiang and Lianjiang River are open to navigate ships, and ships
of 100 tons level can directly reach Yingde city from Hong Kong, Macau and
Guangzhou. In the city, 39 kinds of mine resources have been proven up, and it is rich
in Sulfur, Iron, Aurum, Argentine, Cuprum, Zinc, Coal, Limestone, Granite and
Quartz, fit to develop industries such as smelting, building materials and chemical
industry. Limestone is in great reserve and of high quality. Relying on local resources,
industrial system of building materials, chemical industry, agricultural products
processing and energy industries have been formed. Yingde city is an important
cement production base in Guangdong province. There are 11946 small-scale
enterprises of all kinds. Among these, there are 136 owned by towns and 431 owned
by villages. Total amount of people in these enterprises is 41,047 and 3.5 as an
average per enterprise.
Climate in Yingde city belongs to subtropical and monsoon one, with an average
temperature of 20.7 °C, an average sunshine time of 1662.2 hours and an average
rainfall of 1900 mm in a whole year. Good temperature here is very suitable for
comprehensive development in agriculture. What are planted in local region mainly
include crops, corns and sweet potatoes, and industrial crops including oranges, teas,
bamboo shoots and mulberries. Yingde Teas are famous in China and foreign
countries for their notable characteristics of thick aroma and sweet flavor.
The whole city has forest of about 3,200,000 mu, and shrubbery of 850,000 mu,
22



with a total woods reserve of 6,200,000 m3. Land on both sides of the large and small
Beijiang Rivers and their water system fields are rich in wild textile plants such as
bamboos and awns. Therefore, Yingde can provide large amount of raw materials for
industries such as forestry products processing, spinning and paper making.

3 Impacts of the Project
3.1 Scopes Under the Impacts of Land Acquisition in the Project
3.1.1 Scopes Under the Impacts
Scopes under the impacts of Lao-long-hu works: there are four sections in
Lao-long-hu works, they are: north section of Laolao brook, Longquan Sea, tail of
Babao waterway and tail of Hukeng waterway. River in North section of Laolao brook
and tail of Hukeng waterway is deep and wide, and there is no need of land
acquisition and dismantling. There are two crooks with radii of 200 and 270 meters at
the confluence of Longquan Sea and of Babao waterway. Therefore, it is required to
cut these crooks and to acquire some cultivated land and fishponds, and it is the place
where land acquisition is concentrated. There is riverway of about 4km in whole
course of the works to be widen, concentrated in section of Longquan Sea and tail of
Babao waterway. In addition, a little land in Loangquan and Dongcheng village
should be acquired because of rebuilding the Longma and Lianyao Bridge.
Villages where acquired land distributed: villages to be under impacts of land
acquisition are Wangshan and Lingbei village of Gujin town, Longquan and
Dongcheng village of Muzhou town. Among these, only Longquan, Dongcheng and
Wangshan village have cultivated land to be acquired.
Scopes under the impacts of Xiniu Navigation Complex: regions where the
construction will be in and will be influenced by the works are Xiniu and Hanguang
town. 8 Villagers Committees and 15 Groups are included in the scope under impacts.
No houses and residents dismantling are needed in the works. 8 villages under
jurisdiction of Xiniu and Hanguang town will be submerged by reservoir, including
Xilian and Xiaowan village of Xiniu town, and six villages of Hanguang town, such
as Yuzui, Dongling, Lingnan, Zhuangzhou, Zhengnan and Hanguang Village. A little
land should be acquired in Xilian and Xiaowan village, for construction of such
auxiliary facilities in the works as working houses, roads, greenbelts.
3.1.2 Contents of the Impacts (Practicality Indexes)
At the beginning of 2002, coordinating with Xinhui Bureaus of Communications,
Land and Resources and Yingde Bureau of Land and Resources, design unit of the
project made an investigation on practicality indexes in regions under impacts. These
indexes include:
44



Land acquisition: agricultural and other land resources are decreased for for
cutting crooks of waterways, expanding dams or being submerged by reservoir, or
permanent use in the project.
Impacts on production: details of impacts on farmers' life and production include
decrease in quantity of cultivated land, decrease in incomes from agricultural planting,
impacts on enterprises business and their employees' life, and impacts on towns and
villages' economic and social development.
Impacts on public infrastructures: for example, impacts on cables, bridges as well
as docks and pumping stations submerged by reservoirs.
Other indexes under impacts: bamboo fields, pavements and river banks.
3.2 Land Acquisition in the Project
3.2.1 Property Rights and Operating Mode of Land to Be Acquired
Land to be acquired in the project includes agricultural land and non-agricultural
land.
Among agricultural land to be acquired, property rights of farmland to be
acquired in Lao-long-hu works are collective ownership of Villagers Committees, and
property rights of farmland to be acquired in Xiniu Navigation Complex are mainly
collective ownership of Villagers Groups, while some cultivated land and forest land
are collectively owned by Villagers Committees. Land owned by Villagers Committee
and Groups have been distributed to villagers by means of household contract
responsibility system with remuneration linked to output. Durations of these contracts
are different from ten to thirty years. Some agricultural land collectively owned by
Villagers Committees are not distributed to villagers by this means, but operated by
economic organizations formed by Villagers Committees, and profits from this land
are used for villages' collective careers development.
Most of villages (given Longquan and Xilian village as examples) promised to
make a partial adjustment on cultivated land operated by means of household contract
responsibility system with remuneration linked to output, according to the changed
labor forces situation of villages and households. The adjustment should be subject to
strict working process.
Non-agricultural land to be acquired is mainly land along river beaches, as well
as land used for city or town construction, industrial and mining enterprises-used land.
They are state owned. No compensation or settlement for Villagers Committees and
villagers is required in acquisition of this land.

3.2.2 Description of the Operating Situation of Land to Be Acquired
Paddy fields: are mainly used to yield paddies. Paddy fields to be acquired in
Lao-long-hu works are mainly concentrated in Longquan village, Muzhou town. The
town lies west of PRD, densely covered by waterways network. Most farmland is
formed and filled by erosion of the Xijiang River water system, with fertile soil and
convenient irrigation, known as an important rice zone in Jiangmen region. Local
farmers plant two or three crops a year, with a per mu output from 1200 to 1500 kg,
equaling to an output value from RMB 1200 to 1500 Yuan or a net output value from
RMB 500 to 600 Yuan. In recent years, for saturation of grain market and severe
competition, some grains harvested by local farmers flew into markets, with others
used for foods at home.
There are two crops a year on land to be acquired in Xiniu works, with a per mu
output from 350 to 800 kg. There are only few paddy fields in local region, with a low
crop output. Farmers should hand in grains from 40kg to 60kg per mu as tax to
collective state. Crops they harvested are used mainly for foods at home, with few
sold at markets. Per mu output value is from RMB 700 to 800 Yuan, with a net value
about RMB 200 Yuan after expenditures on chemical fertilizers, pesticide and seeds
were deducted.
Fishponds are mainly distributed on both sides of Lao-long-hu waterway. They
are densely distributed in Ningmengzhou of Longquan village. There are about 1500
mu of fishponds in the village, and most of them are dug by manual work. For it's
convenient to get water in fishponds near Lao-long-hu waterway, fish and shrimps
with high added value are bred here. Till July 2002, the time when report of social
impacts assessment was completed, Luo-family shrimps were being bred in the entire
90.64 mu of fishponds in Ningmengzhou which are to be impacted by land acquisition.
According to villagers' introduction, breeding shrimps for two times a year can yield
an output of 500kg, equaling to an output value from RMB 30,000 to 40,000 Yuan, if
stable production is maintained. However, the yield will be nothing when in red tides
or infectious diseases. Households engaged in pisciculture sign an agreement with
Villagers Committee on contracting and operating fishponds, with an operation allot
time from five to fifteen years. A contract fee of RMB 500 Yuan/mu and specialty tax
should be paid every year.
Dry land is mainly used for planting potatoes, corns and peanuts. Output of
peanuts can reach 200 kg/mu, mainly used for extracting oil, self-use or sale. Outputs
46



of potatoes and corns are a little higher, used by farmers for complementary foods or
sale of surplus parts.
Most forestland, mulberry and orange fields are those improved land along river
breaches. Forestland mainly refers to bamboo fields along river sides. Villagers plant
bamboo for selling, at a price from RMB 0.8 to 1 Yuan per twig. Every household
usually has three to five bamboo clusters, with an output from 30 to 50 pieces of
bamboo per cluster. Mulberry fields are also those improved land along river breaches.
Every year, silkworms are harvested for two times, with an output value of about
RMB 800 Yuan per mu.
Agricultural land to be acquired in Xiniu complex project are mainly formed and
filled by erosion of the Lianjiang River. There are a high percentage of sands included
in soil, hard to keep nutrient. Especially, harm of seasonal flood on the Lianjiang
River is very severe, once flood overflows above river bank, crops will be submerged,
which makes farmers get nothing. According to local villagers' introduction, there are
flood on the Lianjiang River every year, with agricultural production threatened in
five to six out of ten years. Therefore, farmland is in low protection from flood or
drought. It was found from investigation that, there are 89 and 210 mu of cultivated
land in Xinchen and Zhangwu village respectively, but areas of land under harvest
guarantee are only 24 and 80 mu, accounting for 27% and 38% of total amount of
cultivated land respectively. This situation led to a low per mu output and low cash
income for farmers from cultivated land.
Construction-used Land is attributed to non-agricultural land. Land used for
factories, mines, roads, municipal works and other public facilities are
construction-used land. Property rights of construction-used land to be acquired are
state ownership. Construction-used land to be acquired in this time is mainly land of
stoneyard. In details, they are land of some stoneyards' docks to be acquired for
expanding riverbank. For acquisition of land of some docks, navigation of stoneyards'
products will be held up for two or three months.
Unused land usually refers to wasteland, attributed to non-agricultural land, and
they are state owned. In details, unused land to be acquired in this time is that lies in
Longshankou stoneyard and the Lianyao Bridge.
3.2.3 Quantity of Land to Be Acquired in the Project
Total area of land to be acquired in the project is 2142.22 mu. Among these,
paddy fields are 139.42 mu, accounting for 6.5% of total; dry land is 225 mu,
47



accounting for 10.5% of total; fishponds are 106.96 mu, accounting for 5% of total;
land along river beaches is 1290.8 mu, accounting for 60.3% of total. Statistic data
shows that, of land to be acquired, 669.8 mu are agricultural land contracted and
operated by farners, accounting for 31.3% of total, and 1472.43 mu are
non-agricultural land owned by the state, accounting for 68.7% of total. Agricultural
land as a percentage of total land to be acquired in the project is not high.

Lao-long-hu works: total amount of land to be acquired is 351.47 mu. Of this
land, 83.33 nmu are paddy fields, 106.96 mu are fishponds, 91.31 mu are unused land
and 69.87 mu are construction-used land. Villages under the impacts include
Wangshan and Lingbei village of Gujin town, Longquan and Dongcheng village of
Muzhou town. Among these, only Longquan, Dongcheng and Wangshan village have
cultivated land to be acquired. Fishponds and paddy fields to be acquired are mainly
48



concentrated in Longquan village where crooks should be cut. Besides Longquan
village where fishponds and paddy fields are concentrated, the others are mainly
stoneyard construction-used land and wasteland.
Xinu navigation complex: all kinds of land of 1315.8 mu is to be acquired in
project construction. There are few impacts of land acquisition in the project on
agricultural production and cultivated land in local regions. Of total land to be
acquired, 1315.8 mu are state-owned land along river beaches and wasteland,
accounting for 74% of total; 454.4 mu are agricultural land in eight villages and
fifteen Villagers Groups, of which 281.1 mu are paddy fields and dry land, accounting
for 16% of total, and 173.3 mu are orchard land, forest land and mulberry fields,
accounting for 10% of total. In addition, 16.7 mu to be acquired, accounting for 0.9%
of total, are state-owned land used for towns construction and Industrial and
Mining-Used Land.
Waterway Regulation Works on the Beijiang River: in the works, there is no
large-scale works of cutting crooks, expanding riverbanks and design of changing
riverways. In constructing of main body of the works, there is no need to acquire land
for permanent use, which imposes no negative impact of decrease in cultivated land
and harm to agricultural production on villages and farmers along both sides of the
river. In Shaoguan city, there are state-owned city land (in Furong district) of 3.75 mu
to be acquired for construction of logistic supporting facilities in the works, to build
station houses, navigation marks and maintenance factory for working ships. There
are no people living in this land to be acquired, or no enterprises. Objects of land
acquisition are local government and management sector of Land and Resources.

3.3 Land Used Temporarily
3.3.1 Quantity of Land Used Temporarily
In implementing the project, little rural land should be acquired. In these, 463.3
mu of land in Xilian and Xiaowan village should be acquired for Xiniu Navigation
Complex on the Lianjiang River; 730 mu of land should be acquired and used for
discharging mud in Lao-long-hu Waterway Regulation Works. There is no land
renting plan in Waterway Regulation Works on the Beijiang River. Working ships are
adopted in implementing the project, so there is no need to build temporary working
houses. Facilities for bombing reefs, clearing silts and dismantling waterway will be
piled up in nearby riverbed, so no temporary land is needed to be rent for piling
materials and discharging mud.
3.3.2 Description of Land Used Temporarily
Land of 730 mu should be acquired and used for discharging mud in Lao-long-hu
Works. Most of these distribute on both sides of river in Muzhou and Sanjiang town,
and there are 100 mu in Xinqian village, 150 mu in Heyi village, 200 mu in Luobei, 80
mu in Beiwan and 200 mu in Xiezhou village of Muzhou town. The reason why most
of this land used for discharging mud distribute in villages along river sides is that the
implementation riverway is as long as about 16 km, so it will be convenient for
implementing to discharge mud in nearby place. In addition, land used for discharging
mud is mainly selected in low places on river sides, to use some bottomland and
abandoned fishponds, to keep way from paddy fields and fishponds with high outputs.
Some of the discharging land can be gradually improved into cultivated land after
been filled, to raise total amount of cultivated land in local regions.
Land of 463.3 mu should be temporarily rent and used for pilling up materials,
discharging mud and sandstone in Xiniu works. Scopes of land rent are in Xilian and
Xiaowan village. Among these, 175.2 mu are rent in Xilian village and 288 mu in
Xiaowan village. Land to be rent is mainly wasteland and land along river beaches,
and a little is cultivated land and forest land.
3.4 Impacts of Land Acquisition for the Project on Rural Economy
Three Villagers Committees under jurisdiction of Muzhou and Gujin town, eight
Villagers Committees under jurisdiction of Xiniu and Hanguan town are to be
impacted by permanent land usage, land submerged by reservoir and temporary land
usage in the project. These impacts can be described as: decrease in land resources in
rural areas, especially decrease in resources of arable land, leads to decrease in total
51



quantity of rural collective economy; factors mentioned above will lead decrease in
collective benefits, and decreases in per capita cultivated land area, per labor
cultivated land and per labor allotment in Villagers Committees and Groups. Despite
degrees of impacts on eleven Villagers Committees are different, only Xilian village
of Xiniu town is under the greatest impacts. In the whole village, per capita cultivated
land will decrease by 6.22% after land acquisition, and the next are Longquan and
Wangshan village, with a decrease of 3.5% and 2.8% respectively. Other villages are
under relatively slighter impacts, with decreases in land by less than 1% of total
cultivated land.
No obvious impact can be imposed on society and economy of villages along
river sides in Waterway Regulation Works on the Beijiang River

3.5 Impacts of Land Acquisition on Households' Income
3.5.1 Income Structure of Households to be Impacted
The total income of the households to be impacted by Lao-long-hu Project
consists of a few parts, 65.1% is the income of household business, 2.0% from
collective business, 0.2% from economic combination, 32.8% from non-business
income. Land acquisition mainly has impact on income of household business.
Figure 8: Structure of Household Business Income
others 6.0%

Industry 4.9%              /
sideline 2.7%          g
fishery 44.3%
Among the income of household business, income of grain planting account for
19.2%, forestry account for 0.4%, fishery account for 44.3%, sidelines account for
2.7%, transport account for 8.1%, construction account for 7.4%, industry account for
4.9%, commercial service account for 6.9%, other business income account for 6.0%.
We can find that the percent of fishery income is the highest one in this area.
The income of the households to be impacted by Xiniu Navigation Complex
Project mainly from household business, this part account for 90.0% of the total
household income. The income from collective business is only account for 1.5%,
income from economic combination is only 0.9%, other non business income account
for 7.7% of the total household income. The main impact of land acquisition is on the
income of household business.

3.5.2 Decrease in Households' Income Caused by Land Acquisition
Impacts of Land Acquisition in Lao-long-hu Works on Farmers' Households'
Incomes:
Impacts of Land Acquisition in Lao-long-hu Works are slight on households
contracting cultivated land (paddy fields). Given Longquan village as an example,
58.48 mu of paddy fields in the village should be acquired for cutting crooks in the
works, while 31.36 mu of these are contracted by farmners for raising green crops, and
other 27.12 mu are collectivity-owned undistributed economic fields. 31.36 mu of this
land contracted by farmers for raising green crops are contracted by 110 peasant
households. Household whose land is acquired most is 1.05 mu, while the least is only
0.05 mu. There are seventy-five households, accounting for 68% of total, whouse
lands are acquired less than 0.3 mu.
Paddy fields of 23 mu in Longquan Village should be acquired and used for
rebuilding the Longma Bridge, and 7 production brigades and 38 peasant households
are involved. There is 0.6 mu paddy field to be acquired in per household.
On average, per household in Longquan village has cultivated land of 3.63 mu.
There are 148 households whose land are to be acquired, and cultivated land will
decrease by 0.37 mu for every household, while 20% of total households have no
54



decrease in cultivated land at all.
Impacts of land acquisition are some dispersive, mainly for the reason that there
are many households who contracted cultivated land in these areas. Cultivated land in
local villages is always adjusted and contracted on the principal such as arrangement
among rich and poor land, separation from near and far and random sortition.
Therefore, contractors' cultivated land hasn't been connected as a whole, but
distributed in different places in villages. It was found from the investigation that,
sometimes, three families were cultivating on a stretch of land with a width of 6
meters and a length of 70 meters (equaling to 0.63 mu), despite that there is no
dividing mark.
Because only 19.2% of total households' incomes come from agricultural
planting and on average every household has 0.37 mu of cultivated land to be
acquired, equaling to a 10.2% decrease in cultivated land, decreases in total
households' incomes resulting from acquisition of paddy fields are as low as 2%, and
can be neglected.
The impacts of land acquisition on households engaged in pisciculture are
obvious.
Great impacts are on 19 households engaged in pisciculture in Longquan and
Wangshan village. In total, these households have contracted fishponds of 255 mu,
and 106.96 mu are to be acquired in the project, accounting for 50.8% of the total
amount of fishponds they contracted. Usually some households contracted more than
5 mu of fishponds such as seven households including Zhou Fumei, Zhang Min and
Wu Ruisheng, and there is some households who contracted more than twenty mu, for
example, 40 mu are contracted by Liu Erming, 31 mu by Li Da and 28 mu by Wu
Yaowen. Impacts of fishpond acquisition are different on different households; also
for sake of different allot time. In Longquan village, when the contract with a five
year allot time expired, it can be renewed on the basis of negotiation between
Villagers Committees and farmers. Every year, all villages dig some cultivated land
into fishponds, so almost every year there were new fishponds to be contracted. Of
households who are engaged in pisciculture and to be under the impacts, six have
contracts expiring in one year, and twelve have contracts expiring in two to four years.
Eleven households want to renew contracts when their contracts expire, and there are
also some who decide to quit on expiration of their contracts.
Incomes from pisciculture accounting for 92.7% of total incomes of households
55



engaged in pisciculture, and if when their fishponds are acquired and they don't
contract or operate new fishponds, total incomes of their households will decrease by
47.1%.

Incomes Decrease of Households whose Land to Be Acquired in Xiniu
Project
After land acquisition, area of agricultural cultivation in Xilian village will
decrease by 248.2 mu (54.2 mu of which are paddy fields, and 194 mu are dry land),
accounting for 6.22% of total. In Zhangwu village, which is under jurisdiction of
Xilian village, 40 mu of cultivated land are to be acquired and used for construction of
auxiliary facilities in the project, accounting for 19% of total. Land acquisition will
impose impacts on production of 210 peasant households, and cause decreases in their
incomes from planting, and decreases in households' operating incomes by 7.1%. For
land acquisition, households' incomes in Shangwei, Tangba, Angba and Zhujing will
decrease by 3.1%, 1.5%, 3.4% and 2.9% respectively. Originally, there is forest land
56



of 266.8 mu in total and 0.64 mu per capita in Hetou and Tianliao village which are
under jurisdiction of Xiaowan village, and incomes from forest land account for
14.7% of total households' incomes. After land acquisition, forest land will decrease
by 86.3 mu, which make households' incomes decrease by 4.7%. Garden land and
mulberry fields of 30.6 mu are to be acquired, which make farmers' households'
operating incomes decrease by 3.18% in Zhangwu, Shangwei and Dacun.
In addition, land acquisition will impose indirect impacts on incomes from
animal husbandry and sideline production, but it is difficult to calculate the impacts.
There are slight impacts on other incomes, such as incomes from transporting service,
building industry and business service.
Analyzed on the whole, Impacts of land acquisition in the project are relatively
dispersive, and do business with many villages. Because cultivated land is not
centralized in villages, and convenience in getting water has to be taken into
consideration, farmers cultivate on small stretch of scattered land. Therefore, when
land are to be acquired along river sides, almost every household has some land to be
included, different from 0.01 to 1.20 mu. Quantity of land to be acquired in Zhangwu
village is relatively high, with under relatively great impacts

3.6 Impacts of the Project on Public Facilities
3.6.1 Bridges
For relatively small navigation headroom standard on the Liaoyao Bridge (from
Gouwei hill to Sanjiaowei river section) and Longma Bridge on Lao-long-hu
waterway, they don't reach the navigation standard of National Third-Class Waterway,
and need to be dismantled and rebuilt. Navigation headroom of the Baitu Bridge on
waterway of the Beijiang River has a net width of 23 meters, in line with the demand
57



in Navigation Standard on National Inner River Regulation V on navigation width of
bridges on Third-Class Waterway, but its navigation height is below the standard's
demand, and ships should put down their masts when passing through the bridge.
There is no plan to rebuild the bridge.

3.6.2 Cables and Telephone Lines
Six cables built on stilts and four subaqueous telephone lines will be influenced
by construction of Lao-long-hu works. Five of these cables with headroom heights
less than 22 meters need to be rebuilt.
3.6.3 Structures along River Sides
Structures along river sides under impacts of construction of Lao-long-hu works
mainly include: four pumping stations used for stoneyards' production which are in
the 1.6km long stoneyards, running from Jinjiao to Machong on Babao waterway;
eighteen simple docks protruding from bank to river (ten of which are made of stone
or bricks, eight are temporarily made of bamboo and wood), Hengda Aluminum
Materials Factory and Jiangmen Goods Factory locating on left bank of river section
from Hukeng to Beikeng gateway. In addition, there is a small-scale dock of thirty
meter long built on framework under the impact (no enterprises' operations are to be
influenced, only the using of docks).
Water gates and irrigation facilities: there are twelve small-scale water gates
along the line of Lao-long-hu waterway works, with eight on left side and four on
right. Among water gates mentioned above, only one or two need to be rebuilt,
without obvious impacts on others. In addition, thirty-six culverts (with diameter over
lm) in Muzhou will be under impacts of the works, and sixteen of them need to be
dismantled. The works will influence ten electricity-driven irrigation and drainage
pumping stations, with a total installed capacity of 488 KW, and five of them with a
total installed capacity of 293 KW, need to be dismantled. Public facilities under
impacts of Xiniu Complex works include ten docks used for getting living water and
58



nine pumping stations, they are all simple facilities.
It is possible that waterway regulation works on middle reaches of the Beijiang
River will impose impacts on a group of small docks in Niuetan and ships navigation
for a short time. These impacts will happen during the period of construction, but they
won't cause business stop to enterprises mentioned above
3.7 Impacts of the Project on Stoneyards, Brickyards and Dockyards
On one side of the Longma Bridge on Lao-long-hu waterway, lies South
Longquan River Brickyard, which is contracted and operated by a person from
Zhongshan city. At the foot of Longkou hill in Wangshan village of Muzhou town,
locate six stoneyards. Except the Longshankou Stone Company is jointly owned by
the town government and a Hong Kong businessman, the others are owned by villages
or invested and then recontracted by privates. Enterprises mentioned above have some
of their land to be acquired for construction of the project or their usages of freight
docks are to be impacted by construction. According to introduction of Mr. Liang
Zhihui, shareholder of Wangshan joint stoneyard, 95% of the stoneyard products are
transported by ships, and 85% of brickyards' products are transported through docks.
Facilities in docks will be dismantled and moved for waterways regulation and
riverbank rebuilding, which will influence production in stoneyards and brickyards.
During period of construction of the project, stoneyards and brickyards will be
temporarily out of business for two or three months, for the sake of dismantling and
rebuilding docks. During the period, employees of brickyards will have no income,
and enterprises owners will be faced with problems such as handing in contracting fee
and private operating risks. However, construction of the project will not cause
enterprises' moving or massive laid-off of enterprises' employee. Therefore, project's
impacts are slight. The land where stoneyards lie in is state-owned. Stoneyards' and
brickyards' loss of production stop and decrease in output caused by construction of
the project will made up to enterprises directly by business owner of the project.
During period of construction of waterway regulation works on the Beijang River,
it is possible that launching newly-made ships in Baitu dockyard will be influenced.
Because docks are expanded to shipway, it is possible that ship-making business of
the dockyard will be influenced by construction for temporary silting. However, for
the sake of long cycle of ship-making and low frequency of launching newly-made
ships, the impacts won't be very serious. After completion of the works, shipway will
be much deeper, which will be helpful for navigating ships and do favor for the
59



ship-making business.

4 Legitimate Framework
The resettlement policy of the project is based on the "land acquisition and
relocation regulation" of Chinese government and the "Non-voluntary Immigration
Guideline" (OP 4.12) of the World Bank.
4.1 The Legitimate Framework of Resettlement Policy
In China the land acquisition and relocation regulations are at three levels. The
first level is the law framework set up by the central government which publish the
national rules and implementation guidelines; the second level is the general or
specific regulation issued by the provincial government in order to implement the
national law or rules; the third level is the specific regulation of a certain period or
project issued by municipal or county government.
The relevant laws are as follow:
a. Land management law of PRC, effective from Jan. 1, 1999;
b. Land management implementation practice of PRC, effective from Jan. 1,
1999;
c. Land management implementation practice of Guangdong province, effective
from Nov. 27, 1999;
60



d. Primary farming land conservation district management implementation
practice of Guangdong province, effective from July 26, 1996;
e. River bank management statute of Guangdong province, effective from Dec.,
1996.
4.2 The Resettlement Policy Applicable to this Project
A. land compensation refer to clause 30 of "Land management implementation
practice of Guangdong province":
The paddy field shall be compensated 8 to 10 times of the average annual
production value of the last three years before the land acquisition. Other arable land
shall be compensated 6 to 8 times of the average annual production value of the last
three years before the land acquisition. The fish ponds shall be compensated 8 to 12
times of the average annual production value of the paddy field nearby of the last
three years before the land acquisition. The other farming land shall be compensated 5
to 7 times of the average annual production value of the last three years before the
land acquisition. The unexplored land shall be compensated 50% of the average
annual production value of arable land nearby of the last three years before the land
acquisition. The collective-owned non-agricultural construction land shall be
compensated at the same rate as the other arable land nearby.
The average annual production value is calculated according to the grass root
statistic annual report audited by local statistic department and the recognized unit
rate by the price department.
B. Green crop compensation refer to clause 30 of "Land management
implementation practice of Guangdong province":
The short term crops shall be compensated one season. The perennial crops shall
be reasonably compensated on the basis of the planting period and growing period.
C. Attachment compensation refer to clause 30 of "Land management
implementation practice of Guangdong province":
The wells, tombs and other attachment of the acquired land shall be compensated
at the rate decided by the county government based on the actual situation.
D. Resettlement subsidy refer to clause 30 of "Land management implementation
practice of Guangdong province":
In case of arable land acquisition, the subsidy that each PAP is entitled to shall be
4 to 6 times of the average annual production value of the last three years before the
land acquisition. But the subsidy of each hectare shall not exceed 15 times of the
61



average annual production value of the last three years before the land acquisition. In
case of the land acquisition of other agricultural land, the subsidy shall be 3 to 5 times
of the average annual production value of the last three years before the land
acquisition.
If the land compensation and resettlement subsidy made as per the above rules
can't maintain the original living standards of the PAPs, the resettlement subsidy can
be increased with approval of the provincial government. But the total amount of land
compensation and resettlement subsidy shall not exceed 30 times of the average
annual production value of the last three years before the land acquisition.
No subsidy shall be made to the acquisition of homestead land and agricultural
tax-free land.
The acquired land shall be relieved of agricultural tax from the next year of land
acquisition.
Also refer to clause 26 of "land management implementation practice of PRC":
The resettlement subsidy shall be used for the sole purpose of land acquisition,
and not for other purposes. If the rural village collective organizes the resettlement,
the subsidy shall be paid to the village collective and at its management. If other units
organizes the resettlement, the subsidy shall be paid to the unit and at its management.
If the resettlement doesn't need overall resettlement, the subsidy shall be paid to the
individual PAPs or to pay the premium for the PAPs.
E. Temporary land acquisition compensation refers to clause 37 of "Land
management implementation practice of Guangdong province":
The compensation shall equal to annual average production value of the last three
years times the period of temporary use.
F. Other tax and fee refer to clause 8 of "Primary farming land conservation
district management implementation practice of Guangdong province":
The water conservancy, transport, energy, communications, national defense
military industry, public welfare projects which are mainly invested by the nation can
apply for reduction or relief of land reclamation fee as per "Primary farming land
conservation regulation" and "Primary farming land conservation district management
implementation practice of Guangdong province" after approval of provincial
departments of planning, finance, national land and agriculture.
G. Construction land regulation refers to clause 44 of "National Land
Management Law of PRC":
62



If the land used by the road, pipe or cable, major infrastructure projects approved
by the provincial, autonomous governments or municipality directly under central
government, or projects approved by the state council is changed from agricultural
land to construction land, it shall be approved by the state council.
Also refer to clause 45 of the above law.
The following land acquisition shall be approved by the State Council of PRC:
a. Primary farming land;
b. Arable land other than primary farming land exceeding 35 hectares;
c. Other land exceeding 70 hectares.

4.4 Resettlement Objective and Principle
Resettlement Objective:
The world bank resettlement policy is that the non-voluntary migration shall be
avoided or the scale shall be reduced. If the resettlement can't be avoided, the original
living standards of financial income of the PAPs shall be improved or at least
rehabilitated.
The resettlement principle:
A. To reduce the impact scope of land acquisition and to reduce the number of
non-voluntary migrants to the least;
B. The land acquisition of collective land shall be reasonable compensated. The
compensation shall be made to the collective for the exclusive purpose of developing
collective economy.
C. To implement the equivalent compensation principle. All public facilities,
docks, bridges shall be compensated for the replacement value.
63



D. All the compensations of the land acquisition shall be paid within three
months from the approval of resettlement plan.
After the implementation of the resettlement plan, if the PAPs still can't be
rehabilitated to the original living standards. Then the compensation shall be raised to
30 times of the annual production value.
The temporary land user must reinstate the land to an arable condition within one
year from the expiration of lease contract.
The number of PAPs to be resettled is calculated by the land acquisition quantity
dividing the average land per capita before the land acquisition.

1,853,000 Yuan is to be paid to 463.3 mu of land with a rent period of four years.
Land of 730 mu in Muzhou town are to be acquired and used for discharging
mud in construction of Lao-long-hu Works. Among these, there are 200 mu in Xizhou,
100 mu in Dawei, 150 mu in Heyiwei, 80 mu in Beiwanwei and 200 mu in Luobei.
Land to be used for discharging mud is paid at the price of 15,000 Yuan/mu, or total
amount of RMB 1,095,000 Yuan.
5.5 Costs for Monitoring
These costs include expenses for internal monitoring and external independently
monitoring. Total amount of these expenses is RMB 2,600,000 Yuan, and among
these:
RMB 1,400,000 Yuan is expense for internal monitoring.
RMB 1,200,000 Yuan is expense for external monitoring.
5.6 Estimation of Total Costs for Land Acquisition

5.7 Flow of the Funds
Land acquisition in Lao-long-hu works was consigned to Xinhui Municipal
Resettlement Office by business owner of the project. Xinhui Resettlement Office is
conducted by major leaders of municipal Party committee, and under charge of
Bureau of Communications. Bureaus of Land and Resources and Water Resources
71



coordinated together to constitute Resettlement Office. Land acquisition in Xiniu
complex is under charge of Yingde Municipal Resettlement Office whose main body
is Bureau of Land and Resources.
GPWB will supply funds for land acquisition in all sub-projects to Resettlement
Offices of Xinhui and Yingde city, and then the Offices undertake the task of land
acquisition and labor forces settlement. The Offices pay the compensation funds to
Villagers Committees to be affected. Then Villagers Committees pay for green crops
compensation to households and individuals who will be impacted. Labor force
settlement compensation will be decided on opinion of people who will be impacted.
For those who are compensated with land adjustment by Villagers Committees,
expenses for settlement and compensation won't be paid to individuals, but be kept in
Villagers Committees and used for economic development; for those who will be
under the impacts but don't need land adjustment by Villagers Committees, expenses
for settlement and compensation will be paid directly to those individuals.

6 Action Plan for Resettlement and Recovery
6.1 Basis, Characteristics and Essential Measures in Action Plan for
Settlement and Recovery
According to the Land Management Law of PR.C. and Regulations for the
Implementation of Land Management Law in Guangdong Province, business owner
should pay costs for land acquisition, expenses for settlement compensation and
expenses for green crops compensation to rights and interests holders of the land, and
other taxes and expenses should also be paid. Business owner should undertake the
obligation of assisting persons under impacts to raise their living standards. For those
labor forces that need settling because of land acquisition, the settlement will be
implemented by such combined means as paying costs for settlement and
compensation, improving quality of cultivated land in villages, raising per unit yields
of cultivated land and cultivated land adjustment in some areas or in small scope.
6.1.1 Characteristics of Local Labor Forces' Employment
In recent twenty years, economy of Xinhui city grows at a high speed and
people's living standard got a rapid raise. Many overseas Chinese, foreign
businessmen and private investors set up factories one after another. Surplus labor
forces of Xinhui city often enter and work in factories in local regions, and some work
in other cities in PRD such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen. For short in labor forces, the
city also employed some manual workers from outside. It is relatively easy for native
people of Xinhui city to take an occupation, so it is also relatively easy to settle labor
forces. Yingde city lies in mountain areas of north Guangdong, industry and
commerce are undeveloped, and there are few opportunities of employment, surplus
labor forces in village are used to leaving their hometowns for jobs, they often do
manual work for living in south of PRD. In 2000, there were 63987 persons in the city
going out for jobs.
As far as the employment structure of rural labor forces, although a quite high
percentage of farmers in Xinhui city are engaged in agricultural planting, still many
labor forces quitting agricultural cultivating gradually, and turning to be engaged in
industry, building, transportation and wholesale or retailing service. The degree of
rural labor forces' relying on land had decreased a lot. Given Gujin town as an
example, in the whole town there are 22,399 persons engaged in laboring. Among
these, the amount of persons engaged in planting is 8,074, accounting for 36% of total
73



labor forces, 4,262 in industry, according for 19% of total, 3,501 in building,
transportation and commence, accounting for 16% of total, and the other 20% are
engaged in other non-agricultural laboring. Therefore, it has been quite obvious that
more and more labor forces in the town are inclined to be non-agriculturally engaged,
The situation is different in Yingde city. Restricted by environment and economic
development level, except those who do manual work outside, the majority of labor
forces who stay in their hometowns are mainly engaged in agriculture. Therefore,
different characteristics of employment in different places will affect specific
selection on schemes for settling farmers whose land is to be acquired.
6.1.2 Compensation Demands of Affected People and Forming of Settlement
Plan
In investigating social impacts and working out settlement plan, survey groups
held nine symposiums in towns and villages and enterprises under impacts of the
project, attnedants including town's officerss of land and resources, communications
and water resources, as well as villages' carders and villagers' representatives, to
discuss the settlement plan. In the aspect of compensation demands for land
acquisition, 14.9% of persons hoped to readjust land, 8.9% hoped to change
agriculturally registered residents to non-agriculturally, 75.3% hoped to get economic
compensation (cash compensation), and 0.9% hoped for other compensation such as
reduction of or exemption from their agricultural tax paid in grains, or jobs
arrangement.
Considering villagers' detailed demands for settlement, in the beginning of June
2002, according to resources advantage and practical situation in each village,
primarily proposed scheme of settlement,. In line with the demands in World Bank's
OP4.12 guidinge, by analyzing environment capacity after land acquisition in villages
to be impacted, and on the premise of being approved by local governments and
representatives of villagers to be impacted, business owner of the project decided to
settle these villagers to be impacted in their own villages or communities, to facilitate
these villagers to keep their former producing means and life styles after land
acquisition, to keep former's social relationship uninfluenced.
6.1.3 Characteristics of Settlement Plan in the Project and Essential
Measures
By means of analyzing such situations as economic development scales,
characteristics of agricultural economic structures, per capita land resources and
74



composition of farners' income in each village, and on the basis of soliciting opinions
of villagers' representatives for many times, tthe plans of settlement for farmers to be
impacted and production recovery in each village were worked out. Two kinds of
measures will be adopted for settling villagers in each village whose land to be
acquired, and these measures are: (1) cash compensation, this is suitable to most
farmers who have little land to be acquired; (2) land adjustment in small scope, this is
suitable to households who have more than 20% of their total cultivated land to be
acquired. (3) measures for production recovery in each village, in which land to be
acquired, organize these villages to recover production. The details include: starting
irrigation facilities construction to raise the degree of ensuring stable yields despite
drought or excessive rain, reconstructing fields with low outputs to increase the
quantity of paddy field, changing planting structures, importing breeds of vegetable,
reconstructing a batch of abandoned fishponds with low yield, adjusting planting
structure while aptly increasing area of fishponds, enlarging breeding area with high
yield to raise yield of per unit area. The goal is, by means and plans mentioned above,
to raise land's output value even in the situation of decrease in land of those
contracting paddy fields, dry land, forest land and fishponds, not only not to decrease
but to raise their incomes from planting, but also to realize settlement's objectives of
production recovery and increase in living standard finally.
6.2 Settlement Measures for Rural Households Whose Land to be Acquired
6.2.1 Settlement for Farmers Whose Paddy Field Acquired in Longquan
Village
In Longquan village, there are 3770 mu of paddy fields, with 3.63 mu of per
household cultivated land, and 1.02 mu per capita and 2.18 mu per labor. The project
will acquire 81.48 mu of paddy fields. There are 148 households who have land to be
acquired. On average, every household will have a decrease of 0.37 mu in cultivated
land, accounting for 10% of total cultivated land they contracted, and there are only
twelve households who will have decrease of more than 20% in their cultivated land.
It was negotiated with Longquan Villagers Committee and some representatives
of villagers that, farmers of paddy field acquisition in Longquan village can select to
be settled by adjusting land, and those who have less than 20% of their total
contracted cultivated land can select cash compensation.
Condition of Settlement by Adjusting Land in Longquan Village
Longquan village has abundant land resources, and there is still 0.98 mu of per
75



capita cultivated land after acquisition. It is the most convenient and stable means to
settle agricultural labor forces by adjusting land inside the village. Longquan Villagers
Committee also directly owns collective cultivated land undistributed to villagers
(more than 100 mu), and some abandoned paddy fields (more than 20 mu). They can
use these land resources to make adjustment in small scope of the village.
Property Rights of Land in Longquan Village
Longquan Villagers Committee is the legal property-rights holder of 5021 mu
cultivated land in the village. Villagers Groups under jurisdiction of the Committee
don't own the property rights. Property rights and the rights of operating and
contracting cultivated land (including fishponds and garden land) are wholly owned
by the Villagers Committee. Therefore, it is the most suitable and efficient settlement
means for Longquan Villagers Committee to adjust some collectivity-owned
cultivated land resources to farmers to be impacted by land acquisition, and to settle
surplus labor forces caused by project construction with cultivated land.
Frequency of Land Adjustment in Longquan Village
On the premise of following the state's policies of keeping land contract's term
relatively stable, Longquan Villagers Committee has determined the principle that
cultivated land contract is adjusted for every five years, to be adapted to the changing
situation of population and labor forces in rural areas. In the beginning of 2000, the
Committee had once adjusted land contracts, and another adjustment is expected in
the beginning of 2004, in the situation of having no impacts of land acquisition.
The Committee has planed to make a synchronous adjustment on land for
farmers of land acquisition (those who wish to increase cultivated land) after land
acquisition in the project, combined with the chance of periodic land adjustment in
2004.
Measures for Settling Contractors of Paddy Field in Longquan Village
Those contractors (136 households) who will have less than 20% of their total
paddy fields to be acquired can be compensated with cash, and the cash for
compensation and settlement will be paid directly to these individuals.
For those contractors (12 households) who will have more than 20% of their total
paddy fields to be acquired, their personal opinions will be heard and their personal
decisions will be respected. They can be compensated with cash (paying of cash for
compensation and settlement) or land adjustment to increase their contracted paddy
fields.
76



Longquan Village Committee has agreed that, in periodic land adjustment of the
village in 2004 (starting of the project), priority will be given to consider increasing
cultivated land from the land reserved by collectivity for farners of land acquisition.

6.2.2 Settlement for Farmers with Paddy Field Acquied in Wangshan Village
In the village, there are only 1.85 mu of paddy fields to be acquired. Because of
acquisition of line-shape land for expanding dike, only seven households will be
involved. On average, every household has a decrease of only 0.26 mu in their paddy
fields. There is none of them having more than 20% of their total to be acquired.
Before land acquisition, there is only 382 mu of cultivated land in Wangshan
village, with per capita cultivated land of 0.45 mu and per labor cultivated land of
0.85 mu. There are insufficient land resources for adjustment. Per capita cultivated
land will be maintained at 0.45 mu after land acquisition. Therefore, Villagers
Committee will pay cash for the settlement expenses directly to the seven households
to be impacted by land acquisition, while cash for land acquisition compensation will
be kept in village collectivity and used for developing collective economy.

6.2.3 Settlement for Farmers with Fishpond Acquired in Longquan,
Wangshan and Dongcheng Villages
Time of fishponds contracts
Among nineteen contractors who contracted fishponds, there are five whose
contracts will expire in one or two years (three in Wangshan and Dongcheng Village
will expire in January 2003). There are nine whose contracts will expire in 2004, the
77



staring time of the project. Nine households have planed to renew their contracts
when expiration.
Detailed measures for settling fishponds contractors
Longquan village is rich in cultivated land resources, and it is permitted that
Villagers Committee can dig some ponds and contract them to farmers in the village
or those not in the village within the scopes permitted by the policy. Therefore, for
those farmers who have fishponds to be acquired, the Committee has planed to let
them contract the new ponds owned by collectivity, to keep their operation of
aquiculture continuous and not impacted greatly by land acquisition in the project.
Impacts of pond acquisition and preliminary plan for settlement had been announced
to ponds contractors in June 2002, to solicit their opinions. These ponds contractors
have expressed their approvals to the Committee's plans, and they thought that they
fully accepted the compensation and settlement for them. Detailed measures for
settlement in Longquan, Wangshan and Dongcheng village include:
For contractors whose contract time will expire before land acquisition and will
stop operating, compensation for land acquisition will be paid directly to ponds'
property-rights holders, Villagers Committees, and it isn't required to settle these
contractors;
For contractors to expire before land acquisition but will continue operating and
plan to renew contracts, the Committees will bring out new and to-be-contracted
fishponds for these households to select and contract, and expenses for compensation
and settlement for land acquisition will be paid to Villagers Committees, while
expenses for green crops compensation will be paid to ponds contractors.
For contractors not to expire before land acquisition and are still operating their
ponds, if they want to continue their operation, Villagers Committees will give them
new ponds for operating, and they will renew contracting agreements, and expenses
for compensation and settlement for land acquisition will be paid to Villagers
Committees, while expenses for green crops compensation will be paid to ponds
contractors; if they don't want to continue their operation, expenses for land
acquisition compensation will be paid to Villagers Committees, while expenses for
settlement and expenses for green crops compensation will be paid to farmers who
contracted fishponds.
6.2.4 Settlement for Farmers with Land to Be Acquired in Zhengnan, Yuzui
and Dongling Village
78



Decrease in cultivated land: there will be 1.9 mu of paddy fields and 27.60 mu of
dry lands to be acquired in the three villages for being submerged in reservoir. Land to
be acquired belongs to eight Villagers Groups, fifty-eight cultivated land contractors.
Every household's land to be acquired is very little, and none was found to have more
than 10%. of their total cultivated land they contracted to be acquired. The impacts of
land acquisition on households' operating incomes can be neglected.
Measures for settlement: funds for land acquisition compensation will be paid to
Villagers Groups (collectivity) through Villagers Committees, and cash for settlement
will be fully paid to villagers and dominated by them to use for production or other
investment. No land adjustment will be made for these farmers.
6.2.5 Settlement for Farmers with Land to Be Acquired in Xiaowan Village
Decrease in cultivated land: there will be 3.4 mu of cultivated land (dry land) to
be acquired in Xiaowan village, as well as 86.3 mu of woods land. Such four Villagers
Groups as Hetou, Tianliao, Tangyi, Tanger Group will be impacted by land acquisition,
and there are 60 households to be impacted. None was found to have more than 10%
decreases in their total cultivated land.
Measures for settlement: for those who have dry land to be acquired, Xiaowan
Villagers Committee has planed to fully paid expenses for settlement to these farmers.
According to villagers' opinions, the Committee hasn't planed to adjust cultivated
land.
There are also some uncontracted cultivated land and woods land. If farmers to
be impacted by land acquisition plan to increase areas of their cultivated land, and if
permitted by Villagers' Congress, Villagers Committee will distribute some
collectivity-used land to households with land acquired in each Group by contracts.
Then the expenses for land compensation and expenses for settlement will be
dominated by the Committed and used for rural economic development.
6.2.6 Settlement for Farmers Land Acquired in Xilian Village
Cash Compensation
In Xilian Villagers Committee, there are six Villager Groups and 286 households
having 251.6 mu of cultivated land (542 mu of paddy fields) to be acquired. It was
negotiated   Xilian  Villagers Committee  and  each  Group  and  villagers'
representatives that, farmers having paddy fields and dry land to be acquired can
select to be settled with land adjustment, and those who having less than 20% of their
total contracted cultivated land to be acquired are mainly compensated with cash. All
79



of the expenses for settlement will be paid to these farmers. For those (thirty
households) who have more than 20% of their total contracted cultivated land to be
acquired, they have been planed to be compensated with land adjustment in small
scope of Villagers Group, under the overall charge of Villagers Committee.

Land Adjustment
Each Group under jurisdiction of Xilian Village always has the custom to adjust
cultivated land in small scope once for every five years, to be adapted to the changing
situation of population, especially change of labor forces of the village. The latest land
adjustment happened in the beginning of 1999, and a new land adjustment in small
scope is expected to be made in the beginning of 2004. The adjustment will be made
through villagers spontaneous signing, the Committee's discussing, and it can be
passed if it receives affirmative votes from more than two-third of representatives
who attend the Congress.
Farmers with land acquired can request to adjust land or not. For those who don't
require adjusting land, the expenses for settlement will be paid to them through
Villagers Groups; for those who require adjusting land, the expenses for settlement
and the expenses for land acquisition compensation won't be paid to them, but kept in
village collectivity and used as investment in construction some projects.
After land adjustment, it can be guaranteed that per capita and per labor
cultivated land of each household are not below the average standard in local town.
Besides land adjustment, the expenses for settlement and the expenses for land
acquisition compensation kept in collectivity will be used as investment in
80



construction in economic recovery plan.
Process of Land Adjustment
According to the policy's regulation in land acquisition announcement and
Resettlement Action Plan, Villagers Committee should in three months advance
announce villagers the name list of farmers who have land to be acquired, and make
public settlement plan at the same time;
Those who want to adjust their land should apply the Committee to be settled by
land adjustment by oral or in writing.
Then, the Committee should convene villagers' representatives to attend
Villagers' Congress, to determine the name list, land location and time for land
adjustment, by means of democratic consulting and representatives' voting. There
should be more than two schemes of contracting cultivated land for villagers to select.
As a substitution, land can also be selected by lots drawing; in a week after land
adjustment (selection), villagers will sign new agreements on contracting and
operating land with Villagers Committee; relative agreements on contracting land
should be handed to Yingde Bureau of Land and Resources, Project Office of GPWB
and kept as records.
6.3 Measures for Recovery of Rural Economy
6.3.1 Measures for Recovery of Rural Economy in Longquan Village
(Investment Plan)
Longquan village will recover and develop rural economy by means of starting
constructing irrigation facilities, digging fishponds and improving strains in planting
and breeding. The follow is the preliminary recovery and development plans and
benefits from them:
A. Dig thirty mu of fishponds of high yield and to reconstruct ninety mu of
expiring fishponds of low yield, planed to be completed in two years after start of
Lao-long-hu waterway regulation works.
The cost of digging new ponds will be RMB 12,000 Yuan per mu, and the total
cost will be RMB 360,000 Yuan for digging thirty mu of new ponds.
Farmers of land acquisition will be given priority to contract these newly-dug
fishponds. Given shrimps-breeding in these ponds, the annual per mu turnover can
reach RMB thirty or forty thousand, if no natural calamity. Every year, Villagers
Committee will collect contracting fee of RMB 500 Yuan/mu from farmer who
contract ponds, and the total is RMB 15,000 Yuan for these newly-dug fishponds. The
81



contracting fee will be used directly for villagers' public welfare facilities, such as
improving educational conditions in schools, making the village's clinics perfect,
making roads and lighting facilities perfect, etc.
RMB 100,000 Yuan will be invested to reconstruct sixty mu of expiring
fishponds, and thirty mu abandoned ponds of low yield. These ponds will be
constructed to be of high yields and then for being recontracted, to raise collective
economic interests. By means mentioned above, balance between loss from land
acquisition and compensation in Longquan village can be realized in two years.
B. To improve water irrigation facilities near Xikeng of Longquan village. RMB
60,000 Yuan for total or 20,000 Yuan for each will be invested to renovate three
small-size water gates; RMB 750,000 Yuan for total or 300 Yuan/m will be invested to
renovate a 2500-meter-long flood-control aqueduct. The works will be implemented
in step with implementation of the project.
C. RMB 500,000 Yuan for total or 500 Yuan/m will be invested to build a dyke
along river in Ningmengzhou for controlling flood, to ensure stable yields for farmers'
despite drought or excessive rain. The works will also be implemented in step with
implementation of Lao-long-hu waterway regulation works and the works of
expanding riverbanks.
6.3.2 Measures for Recovery of Rural Economy in Wangshan Village
The impacts of land acquisition on Wangshan village are relatively small,
Villagers Committee has planed to renovate a 300-meter-long diversion aqueduct
along river side at the same time with construction of the project, with helps from
construction unit. In the village, there are some abandoned fishponds, and the
Committee has planed to reconstruct them to contract, to raise collective interests.
6.3.3 Measures for Recovery of Rural Economy in Dongcheng Village
In Dongcheng village, there is only one fishponds contractor having land to be
acquired, and the impacts are very little. Villagers Committee has planed to renovate
an irrigation aqueduct along river side to increase the ability of preventing flood and
draining waterlogged field, with helps from construction unit.
6.3.4 Measures for Recovery of Rural Economy in Xilian Village
To-be-adopted measures for production recovery include starting constructing
water irrigation facilities, transforming dry land to paddy fields, inaugurating
vegetable fields along riverside, increasing per mu yield value of farmland.
1. Building two aqueducts (each is 0.6 meter wide and 1500 meters long), to
82



improve diversion and water irrigation facilities. Expert of Xiniu town in water
irrigation has estimated that a total funds of RMB 240,000 Yuan should be invested,
for an average investment of RMB 160 Yuan/m. The expert thought that, after
complete of the diversion and irrigation aqueducts, area percentage of land having
stable yields despite drought of excessive rain will increase greatly from 40% to more
than 80%. Ability of drought and flood prevention in cultivated land will be greatly
improved and average per mu output value of the land is expected to have an increase
of 30% to 50%. This measure for production recovery will be taken into overall
consideration of Xilian Villagers Committee, and planed to be implemented in 2004,
in step with the implementation of Xiniu Complex works. This work will receive
positive coordination and assistance from GPWB and the unit of construction.
2. Transforming dry land to paddy fields, to improve quality of cultivated land.
This measure will be implemented through coordination of Xilian Villagers
Committee and six Villagers Groups. Xilian Villagers Committee and representatives
of every Villagers Group thought that, with helps from construction unit, in less than
two years, they will be able to gradually transform dry land of about 800 mu to paddy
fields, to transform deteriorated paddy fields (used as dry land) to new paddy fields of
high yields, in step with improving diversion and water irrigation facilities. By these,
annual per mu output value of cultivated land can be raised to RMB 1000 to 1500
Yuan from about 550 Yuan at present.
The six Villagers Groups' detailed objectives of transforming dry land to paddy
field in first phase are: 35 mu in Zhangwu, 10 mu in Shangwei, 80 mu in Dacun, 30
mu in Tangba, 30 mu in Angba and 15 mu in Zhujing. The transforming will begin
with dry land along riversides and low-yield paddy field used as dry land and a little
abandoned cultivated land in some Groups will be included into the plan of
transforming together.
3. Inaugurating vegetable fields of about 300 mu along riverside. Villagers
Committee thought, once the diversion aqueduct is completed, water irrigation
facilities will be in a complete set, and the degree of ensuring stable yields despite
drought of excessive rain will be raised. The Committee will guide each Group to
inaugurate a vegetable base of 300 mu without environmental pollution, just like
Xiaowan village, by coordinating with company of purchasing and selling agricultural
products, to transport produced fresh vegetable without environmental pollution to
Yingde, Guangzhou, PRD and other tourism places. Referring to Xiaowan village's
83



way of doing, the annual output value of vegetable land can reach RMB 1800 to 2000
Yuan/mu. On the premise of stable market, output value of vegetable land is two times
of that of paddy field, and three to four times of that of dry land or forest land. This is
the important reason why many towns in Yingde city develop vegetable without
environmental pollution.
The objectives in six Groups' plan of inaugurating vegetable land are: the total of
the village is 300 mu, and planed to be implemented by two steps. The first (from
2004 to 2005), the plan will be implemented only in six Groups mentioned above, and
vegetable land of 115 mu is planed to be inaugurated. Among these, 20 mu in
Zhangwu, 5 mu in Shangwei, 20 mu in Dacun, 10 mu in Tangba, 10 mu in Angba and
50 mu in Zhujing. The second step (2006), the plan will be spread to other Groups of
the Villagers Committee.
Representatives of Zhangwu thought, if the measures for recovery mentioned
above can be implemented as planning, although there are 40 mu of cultivated land to
be acquired in Zhangwu, accounting for 19% of total, output value of left cultivated
land can reach more than RMB 1500 Yuan. Counted at output value of 600 Yuan/mu
before land acquisition, the total is RMB 126,000 Yuan. After land acquisition and
implementation of measures for recovery, for the left 170 mu of cultivated land,
counted at output value of 1500 Yuan/mu, incomes from planting can reach RMB
255,000 Yuan, more than double of that before land acquisition.
6.3.5 Measures for Recovery of Rural Economy in Xiaowan Village
Xiaowan Villagers Committee has planed to pay for land acquisition
compensation to such four Villagers Groups to be impacted as Hetou, Tianliao, Tangyi
and Tanger, use money for developing vegetable-planting in the village. By means of
renovating diversion and drainage facilities, low-lying dry land of low yields along
river will be improved. By means of transforming 100 mu of dry land along river to
vegetable land for planting vegetable without environmental pollution, per mu output
value of cultivated land will be increased. By means of transforming some low-yield
forest land (bamboo land) to dry land (about 50 mu) for planting some fruit trees and
mulberries, percentage of incomes from forestry to farmers' total incomes will be
increased, to lead planting business in Xiaowan village grow in multi directions.
6.4 Measures for Recovery of Economy in Villages of Which Land Rent for
Discharging Mud.
In towns along Lao-long-hu waterway, there are 730 mu of cultivated land to be
84



rent and used for discharging mud and pilling materials in the project. The land to be
rent is mainly abandoned sugarcane fields, fishponds, wasteland along river beach and
a little cultivated land.
After negotiating with Villagers Committees and town governments who own the
land, and under the permit of Villagers Committees, villagers' representatives, and
governments of cities and towns, business owner decided to adopt these major
measures for settling villages and farmers to be impacted, and they include:
6.4.1 Economic Compensation for Land Used for Discharging Mud in These
Villages and Distribution of the Compensation
These villages with land to be used for discharging mud will get one time
compensation at RMB 15,000 Yuan/mu, and among these, 10,000 Yuan are paid to
farmers to be impacted as compensation for green crops and loss from planting of
three years; 5,000 Yuan are paid to Villager Committees who own the land. If there is
no farmer who contracted cultivated land to be used for discharging mud, the rent
expenses will be paid to Villagers Committee who will be impacted.
6.4.2 Land Used for Discharging Mud in Will Be Leveled and Recovered as
Cultivatable Land
Business owner has agreed that, after complete of discharging mud in the land
(about two years), they will charge construction unit to fill and level the land used for
discharging, to make them possess preliminary planting conditions. In addition, the
unit of construction will make a preliminary renovation of water irrigation facilities at
the same time.
Villagers Committees with land used for discharging mud, will begin organizing
to rebuild the land used for discharging mud, and to determine plans for renovating
and cultivating the land in the third year after beginning of project construction.
Except those paid to farmers who will be impacted, all of the expenses Villagers
Committees get as rent of land used for discharging mud will be used for renovating
the land and recovering cultivation. For the plan to use these rent expenses, Villagers
Committees have made preliminary negotiations with business owner, and
representatives of villagers have also taken part in discussing and accepted the plan.
6.5 Settlement Measures for Farmers Whose Land to Be Used Temporarily
for Construction
Most of land used temporarily for construction is state-owned land along river
beach and wasteland (70%), and little is cultivated land and forest land (30%). Scope
85



of land temporarily rent is in such Groups as Yuanwo and Angba Group of Xilian
village, Xincheng and Jiezai Group of Xiaowan Village.
After negotiating with town governments, Villagers Commnittees and Groups
which own the land to be temporarily used, and after discussing with and under permit
of Xilian and Xiaowan Villagers Committees and villagers' representatives, business
owner decided to adopt these major measures for settling villages and farmers who
have land to be temporarily rent, and they are:
6.5.1 Economic Compensation for Land Temporarily Rent
Most of the compensations for land temporarily rent are to compensate annual
per mu output value of this land. The compensation will be paid to farmers who will
be impacted through Villagers Committee and Groups.
This land will be temporarily rent for three years, but a four-year rent should be
paid. The forth year is the period of recovering cultivation.
6.5.2 Measures for Recovering Cultivation of Land Temporarily Used
The forth year is the period of recovering cultivation. According to opinions of
Xiniu town government and Villagers Committees, and under business owner's permit,
rent land will be recovered for cultivating by being cleared and leveled. For
recovering cultivating conditions of these rent land, business owner will include it into
construction contracts to charge the construction unit who get the bid to carry in the
fourth year after start of the project. Renovation of water irrigation facilities also has
been included into reconstruction and recovery of cultivation in rent land.
Villagers Committees, representatives of villagers and business owner will make
an on-the-spot check, evaluation and recognition on leveling and cultivation recovery
in land temporarily used.
6.6 Measures for Vulnerable Groups Settlement
Two characteristics of vulnerable groups are found in investigation of the project,
and they are: households who have old people (especially those losing their laboring
abilities); and households who mainly rely on cultivating. Usually, some vulnerable
households have the two characteristics at the same time. In view of these
characteristics of vulnerable groups, after negotiating with Villagers Committee and
vulnerable households, business owner decided to adopt the following measures for
settling these groups:
Assisting vulnerable households to provide for old people. According to the
custom in local villages, when old people in village lose their laboring abilities, their
86



children (mainly their sons) will be duty-bound for their daily life and to provide for
them. Their children should bear all of the expenses for providing for them. If old
people to be impacted by land acquisition aren't really willing to continue cultivating,
or they will have no cultivating ability, business owner will pay expenses for
settlement to these vulnerable groups (or their children) through Villagers Committee.
By means of family providing for them, settlement for these old people can be
realized.
If incomes of old people who will be impacted by land acquisition are mainly
from planting and these households want to adjust land for themselves, Villager
Committees have agreed that, priority will be given to consider meeting their needs of
increasing cultivated land from the land reserved by collectivity or by land adjustment
in small scope. When the Committees implement the collective plan of inaugurating
land, such as the plan of cultivating vegetable fields in large scale, priority will be
given to these vulnerable households to the plan or rent their cultivated land.
According the custom of respecting and sympathizing old people in local villages,
Villagers Committees will pay visit to old people' family to be impacted in important
traditional festivals. Through the periodical visit, the committees can understand life
of these vulnerable groups, and find out difficulties in their life, and feedback these
situations to business owner and independent monitors in time. According to different
practical situations, business owner will take corresponding measures.
6.7 Protection of Women's Their Rights and Interests
In the scope under the impacts, the percentages of populations of males and
females to total population are basically balanced, and they are 51% and 49% on
average. Among those households with land to be acquired, none is composed mainly
of single female labor force who have lost her husband or divorced or been forsaken.
In villagers and communities which will be impacted, women have the same
legal rights as men, such as rights of contracting cultivated land, receiving educations,
birth control and participating villages' or communities' election. Among female labor
forces who have been interviewed, most think that they have the same rights with
male citizens, such as deciding on production and operation by themselves, or
deciding to do manual work, business, or cultivate land in villages.
Of course, in villages, men and women have different labor divisions in families'
life and production. Most women often decide to be engaged in housework, planting
or doing some dickers of agricultural products, handicrafts articles or native products,
87



while except some men are engaged in planting or dickers, most young men go out to
seaside regions doing some manual work for earning money.
Construction of the project and land acquisition won't impose obvious
exceptional impacts on women.
In regions where land is to be acquired, there are standing organizations
protecting women's rights and interests, such as town's Women's Federations which
pay periodical visit to women in villages, to learn the situation of women's rights and
interests protection, and act for women to sue for discrimination on them; in such a
grass root as Villagers Committee, there is also Women's Committee or Women's
school which is in charge of safeguarding women's rights and health training in
village. These organizations have their own working systems, and usually have
independent funds for work. By such means as periodical visit, holding women's
representatives conference or organizing recreational activities for women, they aim
to realize such goals as uniting women in villages, increasing their education level,
eradicating domestic violence and gender discrimination.
In surveying social impacts, business owner and investigation organization have
put enough importance on safeguarding women's rights and hearing women's voices.
Under assistance of the director of Women's Committee in each village, they have
convened some symposiums including women's representatives in small scope, to
announce the details of the project's impacts, and to widely collect these women's
representatives' opinions on the means of compensation and settlement, compensation
standards and plans for recovery of families' economy. Because many women are in
charge of households' expenditures, and directly engaged in planting and services,
they have strong wishes to increase their families' operating income. Therefore, they
have proposed many valuable suggestions to business owner and investigation
organization, and these suggestions have been accepted and put into the resettlement
plan.
During the period of project construction, business owner will convene a
symposium including women's representatives once a year, pay periodical visit to
some families, to collect women's suggestions and complaints at any time, and
receive their consulting.
For women's complaints about settlement, compensation and economic recovery,
women's Committees in villages will report these to business owner in one week, and
business owner should assign representatives to reply for these complaints or solve
88



the problems in the following week.
During the whole process of settlement, independent monitors have paid special
attentions to hear women's voices, and receive their complaints. Besides attending a
conference of negotiating with women once a half year, they established stable
working and coordinating relationships with directors of women's committees to work
more efficiently for decreasing negative impacts of the project and safeguarding
women's rights and interests in villages.
6.8 Monitoring the Use of Compensation Funds for Land Acquisition
One month before implementation of land acquisition, Villagers Committees
should announce to the whole village the Resettlement Action Plan, budgets of
expenses for land acquisition compensation, villages' investment plans for recovery,
by ways of bulletins, broadcasting or CATV, and two weeks before land acquisition,
the committees should convened Villagers' Congress to explain and announce to
villagers every item in plans and budgets mentioned above.
After land acquisition begins, for anything related to the use of compensation
funds for land acquisition and settlement, Villagers Committees should make financial
situation public in bulletin board every month;
When Villager Committees compile investment plans, they should announce
contents, implementation time and expected returns of the plans to all representatives
of villagers, to solicit villagers' opinions; when the investment plans for recovery are
implemented, all of the villagers should be announced through bulletin board at least
once a half year.
Villagers Committees should make open archives about compensation funds for
land acquisition and the implementation of investment plans. These archives should
be true, complete and normative, and preservation times of these archives should be
the same as the finance and account books.
If Villagers Committees couldn't make their finance public, or there is no enough
transparence in the use of compensation funds for land acquisition, after receiving
villagers' complaints, town or county governments and other departments responsible
for the work should charge the Committees to make their finance public by prescribed
time.
6.9 Recovery of Other Facilities
6.9.1 Reconstruction of Bridges
For those bridges which should be dismantled and rebuilt, Xinhui government
89



will paid bridge rebuilding expenses to holders of bridges' property rights, at the
pricing standard for infrastructure reconstruction which is regulated by Ministry of
Construction of P.R.C. New bridges should be built before old bridges are dismantled,
and old bridges can be dismantled only after new bridges are completed and open to
traffic. New bridges should be built on the principle of no or little impact on
production and operation of villages and enterprises nearby, causing land acquisition
as little as possible and decreasing buildings dismantling to the lowest degree.
6.9.2 Moving and Reconstruction of Cables and Telephone Lines
Three months before start of Lao-long-hu works, business owner should sign
agreements on moving and reconstructing cables and telephone lines with
property-rights holders of these cables and telephone lines. Business owner should
paid part of expenses for moving and reconstructing cables and telephone lines to
property-rights holders of these cables and telephone lines in advance, and after
complete of the moving and reconstruction, the two sides make an account settlement
at the reconstruction prices. Prices quoted by property-rights holders can become
effective only after being audited by intermediary evaluation company.
Business owner should pay expenses to compensate loss from business shutout
caused by moving and reconstructing of cables and telephone lines. However, loss
from business shutout reported by property-rights holders can become effective only
after being audited by intermediary evaluation company.
6.9.3 Recovery and Reconstruction of Building along River
All docks, water gates, pumping stations and other water irrigation facilities
(including ten docks used for getting living water and nine pumping stations on Xiniu
navigation complex ) which will be impacted and need to be rebuilt, will be included
into project construction plans. Buildings along riversides which will be impacted will
be transferred to their property-rights holders before complete of the project.
Buildings along riversides will be recovered at the reconstruction prices of these
facilities.
6.9.4 Compensation for Loss from Shutout of Stoneyards and Brickyards
Stoneyards and brickyards' loss from shutout caused by project construction will
be counted at the following way: first, production output and output value and profits
are calculated according to taxes and expenses payment receipts in six months before
these enterprises are dismantled and moved, then loss happening in shutout period is
calculated on this basis. Six months before start of project construction, another
90



adjustment of the loss will be made to confirm the situation of these enterprises'
operations and taxes.
Stoneyards and brickyards' loss from shutout include four aspects, they are: loss
in contractors' profits; loss in employees' wages and bonuses; loss in local
governments' taxes; loss in contracting fee collected from contractors by these
stoneyards and brickyards' property-rights holders (Villagers Committees).
6.9.5 Reduction in Impacts on Niuetan Dock
In order to reduce the impacts on operation of Niuetan private dock, business
owner Will implement the construction in off-season of transportation, and make
enough propagandizing, to make sure that all business owners of docks and owners of
ships on river surface nearby know the scope where reefs will be blasted, and keep
24-hour watch on waterway in construction section and navigate to prevent waterway
from blocking by construction.
6.9.6 Eradication of Impacts on Owner of Shipping Business
In order to prevent waterway from blocking by construction, in construction
sections of some narrow waterways, business owner will take some measures to
reserve navigation waterway, and any ships' owners won't be prevented passing
through by project construction.
In constructing Xiniu navigation complex, navigation waterway will also be
reserved. Construction will be implemented in only one part at one time. After
complete of construction in this part, ships can go into and out of waterway through
flood-discharge sluices which have been built, and then construction in another part
will begin. At the same time, necessary navigating facilities and personnel will be
equipped, to make sure that all transportation ships can go through smoothly.
6.9.7 Maintenance of Drainage and Irrigation Facilities Which Don't Need to
Be Moved and Rebuilt
For many drainage and irrigation facilities which don't need to be moved and
rebuilt, business owner will charge every construction unit to make good maintenance
on these facilities by agreements on contracting the works, to prevent water entrances
being blocked by construction. If the entrances are blocked, after receiving complaints
from those who are impacted, business owner should charge construction unit to
recover in two working days. If units who use this water have to stop their business
for this reason, construction unit should bear the loss. Exact compensation amount of
money will be determined by negotiation between construction unit and the impacted
91



unit.
6.9.8 Guarantee for Production in Baitu Dockyard
Business owner will arrange construction plans according to production cycle
and frequency of new ships launch in Baitu dockyard. Construction arrangement will
be based on the principle that normal production and launching of new ships in the
dockyard will not be impacted. If there are conflicts between construction and
dockyard's use in waterway, construction unit and the dockyard will make beforehand
negotiation, to make sure that normal operation in the dockyard won't be impacted by
project construction.

8 Participation and Negotiation
8.1 The Purposes of the Public Participation and Negotiation
To protect the legitimate rights of the PAPs, during the planning and the
implementation process of the project, the extensive public participation will formn a
smooth communication channel to facilitate the information availability. The
extensive public participation will help the compensation and resettlement of the
PAPs and rehabilitate or even exceed the original living standard. The coordination
and communication will reduce the resistance and the negative impacts to enable the
smooth implementation of the project.
8.2 The Objects of Public Participation and the Organization
8.2.1 The Organization of Public Participation
The official or formal organization: the staff member composition of the
resettlement offices of all levels is the major part of the public participation. Usually
the resettlement offices comprise the representatives from the government,
departments of transport, land navigation, construction, planning, finance, police, civil
administration, agriculture etc to ensure the participation, communication, and
coordination at the same level. The resettlement organization extends from the project
owner to the town and village administration level. So the information can be
communicated upward and downward.
The public participation organized by the IMO is an supporting form of public
negotiation.
The community organization of village and town includes the economic
cooperation association voluntarily organized by the villagers, affected enterprises or
private business association, women school etc.
The organization is very flexible. One can join one or more than one
organizations. One organization can assign representatives to participate the activity
of another organization. Of the three above mentioned organizations, the official and
formal organization shall act as the main communication channel.
8.2.2 Participation in the Negotiation of the PAPs
All affected individual and units have the rights to consult, discuss, negotiate, and
select the resettlement program. For the seriously affect Longquan and Xilian villages,
the IMO discussed the rehabilitation of villager's living standards and living habits,
98



and the favorable policy of the local community with Longquan and Xilian town
governments before the drafting of the resettlement action plan.
(1) The means of the participation of the PAPs and their representatives
The resettlement offices organize activities to solicit the opinions and suggestions
of the PAPs during the process of land acquisition, especially at the issuance of
relocation announcement, the economic survey, and the living standard sampling
survey conducted by the IMO, the determination of compensation standard and the
resettlement location. These activities include representative conference, site
consulting meeting, discussion, survey, and site visits etc. The affected town
government, land departments, resettlement offices and IMO will answer the inquiries
of the PAPs.
(2) The areas of participation
When the PAPs raise questions or concerns of the land acquisition policy,
principle of resettlement and subsidy, scope of land acquisition etc. The site
consulting organization should responds in a timely manner. For the questions which
can't be solved on the spot, an unambiguous answer must be provided within 15 days.
8.3 The Mechanism and Plan of Negotiation
8.3.1 In the Stage of Planning the Project
When the project was in design and the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) was in
compiling, Xinhui and Yingde Resettlement Office appointed one member
respectively to participate in compiling RAP, and through resettlement offices at all
levels, by negotiating with local governments and communities' residents, adopted the
design blueprint which has the least negative impacts, and enough attention has been
paid to Longquan and Xilian village which are under comparatively great impacts. In
May 2002, an abroad survey has been made on Longquan and Xilian village, and on
the basis, combined with special polices which are given to rural economic
development by Guangdong provincial government, by negotiating with local town
government and Villagers Committees, detailed blueprint was worked out to provide
favorable measures for communities to be impacted. There are some organized
negotiation activities as follow:
In middle of 2001, when the Xiniu works was in preliminary planning stage,
design unit has communicated to Villagers Committees and villagers such situations
as land used for permanent facilities and submerging impacts in reservoir through
municipal governments. In the aspect of determining the location of dam, design unit
99



has communicated directly with villagers, to hear their suggestions and to understand
their worries.
In February 7th 2002, in the first conference for coordinating the work of land
acquisition in Xinhui city, representatives of Bureau of Communications,Bureau of
Land and Resources, Gujin town and Muzhou town governments were invited to
participate in organizing, coordinating and communicating work in resettlement work.
And pertinent propaganda and explanation on policies and information about
resettlement works were made for the first time.
In February 10th 2002, conferences were held in Muzhou and Gujin twon, to
communicate information with town governments about impacts of the project on
stoneyards, fishponds and cultivated land and to solicit stoneyards' business owners'
suggestions for construction of the project.
In February 2002, Yingde government convened a conference including towns
and villages of land acquisition, business owners of buildings along riversides, to
formally communicate information about the project with all sides. Representatives of
all villages got detailed information and data about the project, and the information
and data will be made public to villagers by Villagers Committees, to solicit villagers'
opinions.
In March 2002, business owner, design unit and investigation representatives
interviewed some representatives of villagers in the land to be permanently used and
the scene to be submerged by reservoir, to receive their inquiries, to answer their
questions, and to collect villagers' suggestions on settlement work in a board scope.
On May 21st 2002, Secretary Zhang Dehu convened Villagers Groups in Xilian
village to a conference including eighteen persons, to discuss the possibility of land
adjustment after land acquisition, and recovery measures which should be taken.
Director Zeng Siyuan convened Villagers Groups in Xiaowan village to a conference
including eleven persons. The contents were the same as above.
On May 22nd 2002, a conference including villagers' representatives of Yuzui
village (six Groups) was held in Huaba elementary school, to discuss measures for
preventing farmland from being submerged after water is stored in reservoir. Most of
villagers' representatives prefer cash compensation to land adjustment.]
.On May 24th 2002, a villagers' representative conference was held in Longquan
village, to introduce to villagers situations about plans and construction of the project,
the places, quantities of land to be acquired and possible time, and to understand
100



villagers' attitudes toward construction of the project; several villagers suggested to
reduce land to be acquired, households who contacted fishponds suggested to estimate
farmers' loss reasonably, and villagers in charge of water and electricity suggested to
maintain water irrigation facilities in farmland. Information mentioned above has been
delivered to design unit and the Bureau of Communication.
On June 2nd 2002, a symposium including members of Longquan Villagers
Committee and some villagers' representatives was held, to consult the degree of
Villagers Committee and villagers' acceptance to compensation for land acquisition;
to understand villagers' selection on means of settlement. Most of villagers suggested
that the compensation should reach the highest level in one step, and the
compensation funds should be sent to farmers directly; they hoped to be compensated
with cash, and no land adjustment needed. The information has been sent back to
GPWB and Muzhou town government.
8.3.2 In the Stage of Preparing the Project
In this stage, it has been mainly done to investigate the scale and practicality
indexes of land acquisition and dismantling, and to survey social and economic
situations of persons and regions to be impacted. The random sampling survey on
before-land-acquisition living standard of people who will be impacted has been made.
In the surveying process, it has been done to publicize the preliminary plans for
settlement and compensation, to understand the opinions and demands of persons to
be impacted, to modify settlement plans and compensation standards, and try best to
reduce the negative impacts caused by the project. Public participation works have
been done as follow:
From June 18th to 22nd 2002, in-door interview on residents' households who
will be impacted by Xiniu complex project was carried out. Interviewers made wide
collection of villagers' suggestions on settlement compensation and production
recovery, and gathered these together then reported to related functional departments.
On June 27th 2002, an on-the-spot working conference was held in Yuzui village.
A villager, Mr. Jiang, thought that, settlement with land adjustment couldn't raise
villagers' living standard efficiently, while organizing labor forces and service to
export outside, and if there is one labor in a family doing work in PRD, could shake
off poverty.
From June 23rd to 28th, in-door interview was made on residents who will be
impacted by Lao-long-hu works. Investigators had introduced to villagers the detailed
101



information about the project, national policies about land acquisition and settlement,
and World Bank's policies for settling reluctant migrants. Villagers introduced the
situation of compensation for land acquisition in previous period, and expressed their
comprehension and expectation for settlement. Villagers maintained that agricultural
taxes should be exempted at the same time with land acquisition, and there should be
transparency in handling and use of funds for acquisition. Many villagers thought that
they only wanted to get compensation funds, but didn't require land adjustment from
Villagers Committees.
On June 3rd, Mr. Liang Zhihui, from Wangsan joint stoneyard, reported to
investigators that because of construction of the project, dismantling and moving
docks would cause great impacts on operation of the stoneyard. Mr. Liang suggested
to reduce construction duration as much as possible, or to stagger the dates of
construction and production in stoneyard. Mr. Liang considered that many workers
were employed in all stoneyards, during the period when stoneyards were out of
business, business owner should compensate employees' loss. Investigators have
reported the suggestions to GPWB, and included relative contents into Resettlement
Action Plan of the project.
From July 16th to 17th, business owner, design unit and investigators convened a
conference in Xinhui municipal government, to discuss villagers' suggestions on
selecting means of settlement and reducing land to be acquired. After discussion,
design unit of the project decided to make a modification on design of waterway's
widths and crook-cutting works in Longquan village, to reduce land to be acquired in
the project to the lowest level. Suggestions of villagers and personnel of town
governments have been fully accepted.
On July 28th, Resettlement Action Plan (first draft) was delivered to GPWB, and
in it the villagers' selective suggestions on means of settlement was basically adopted.
Compensation prices for all kinds of used land have been approved by Xinhui Bureau
of Land and Resources and Bureau of Communications, and basically satisfied
villagers' expectations, it will be of advantages to recover and raise both production
and villagers' living standards after land acquisition.
8.3.3 Project Implementation Stage
The major players of this stage are the resettlement offices of all levels, local
governments and relevant department, affected collective, individual and IMO.
In June 2003, the mobilization meeting or consulting meeting will be held at
102



different places to announce the resettlement compensation plan and subsidy standard,
to answer the questions of PAPs, to solicit the opinions and suggests of the village
collective and villagers. The resettlement plan and subsidy standard will be further
modified and will decided on a preliminary resettlement plan.
In August 2003, the designer will submit the final right-of-way of land
acquisition to the project owner and other concerned parties. The resettlement offices
will work out a detailed resettlement plan based on the design and submit to the
municipal government for approval.
In October 2003, all the opinions and suggestions of the PAPs will be
summarized and 2 or more resettlement plans will be offered to the PAPs. The
municipal resettlement office will negotiate with the PAPs one by one and confirm on
the resettlement plan. Finally a resettlement agreement will be signed and the location
of rehabilitation works will be confirmed.
In December 2003, is the resettlement period. The municipal resettlement office
and town government will assist the rehabilitation of affected enterprises, the
relocation of public facilities, and solve the problems arising from the relocation. The
first compensation will be paid out as well.
During February 2004, to deal with the new problems arising from land
acquisition and provide assistance to the PAPs; to rectify the defects of the
resettlement plan; and to distribute the last compensation funds.
In December 2004, IMO will conduct a follow-up sampling survey of the living
standards of the PAPs, the degree of impact, the outstanding difficulties and problems,
and report the situation to the resettlement offices to help the settlement of the
problems.
IMO and internal monitoring organization will supervise the entire process of the
resettlement.
