General 1.1. Project Background Songshuling Power Station sites in Zhushan County, in the west of Hubei Province, Borden with Shanxi Province on the west and facing Chongqing City on the north, with a total population of 450974 in the end of 1998, and a total land area of 3586.15km2. In recent years, along with the constant improving of living level, the need for power increases quickly. In the year of 1999, the total power using is 960 million kw.h, with a highest day load of 13000 kw. The Zhushan Power net has been connected with Hubei Provincial Power net, in the county, the power source is mainly provided by the small power station inside. The total installed capacity of the small power stations in Zhushan County is 35140kw, but the scale is very small(with a installed capacity of 100O0kw for the biggest power station), and the adjustment ability of the reservoirs is bad, so especially in the dry years, the contradiction between the needing and providing of power is more obvious, and the local production and living was affected, as well as the development of the economy was limited. The switch was usually pulled off, so the dependable power providing was urgently needed to satisfy their living. The installed capacity of Songshuling Power station is 50000kw, which will be the biggest power station in the county after its completion. 1.2. Project General Songshuling Power Station lies at the middle of the Guandu River, which is in Guandu Town in Zhushan County, the dam lies lkm upper the combining site of the Guansu River and its branch, Yangyugou, 40.7km to the combining site of the Guandu River and Duhe River at the lower point, 74km to the county district. The power station is mainly for power producing, as well as for piping, irrigating, aquatic production, shipping, etc.. The drainage area upper the dam of Songshuling power station is 2447km2, the mean runoff of years is 1826 million m3, the normal water retaining is 394m, the total storage capacity is 57.48m3 the backwater length is 19km, with an area of 2.74km, and the storage capacity is 48.2 million m3 under normal water retaining, the coefficient of storage capacity is 1.23%, a reservoir of season regulation. The installed capacity of the power station is 50 MW, the regulate annual eletricenergy production is 153.9 million kw.h, and the annual using time is 3078h, and 19km shipping line will be improved. After being put into operation, it will not only provide electricity for Zhushan County. but also will transmit electricity power to the provincial net. The project was mainly composed by the dam,piping tunnel, power station site, switchyard. The dam is built by concrete, of the type of gravity. The top of the dam is 399.5m, 65.5m for the biggest dam, and 128m for the length of the top. The project requisition involves Guandu, Liulin, Liangjia, three towns, and, Yangpo, Puxi, Taoyuan, Jiazhu, Tianchiya, Liuhe, Daping, Laozhu, 9 administrative villages, 52 households will be relocated, with a population of 216, and the relocating house area is 9889m2, 316.1mu cultivated land and 378.5mu forest land will be acquisition, 5.1km roads, a small hydropower station will be affected 3  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 1.3. The scope of project impact and service Land acquisition for Songshuling Power Station involves Guandu, Liulin, Liangjia, three towns, and Sangping, Yangpo, Puxi, Taoyuan, Jiazhu, Tianchiya, Liuhe, Daping, Laozhu, 9 administrative villages and 18 village groups. The Power Station is for season coordination, with a loading capacity of 50000kw for the machine. After completion, besides meet the needs of power in the local area, power menage will be transmitted to the provincial net. For decreasing the contradiction between the providing and needing of power in the local area, as well as improving the living level, industrial and agricultural production, and stimulating the economical development, the construction of the Power Station plays an important role. 1.4. measures to reducing the project impact Obviously, the project construction is relevant with the land acquisition, house demolishing, the resettlement, and will impact the living condition of the local inhabitant. In order to reduce the number of land requisition, and house demolishing, the design institute has adopted many measures, including the water level choice, permanent structure planning, temporary land acquisition of constructor choice, as could as possible to avoid residential area and cultivated land. To decrease the local impact by construction, following measures will be adopted: Enhance basic data acquisition procedures, analyses on local socio-economic status, and formulate practicable action plans with due consideration of actual situation, thus ensuring that the living standard of the resettlers will not be decreased. According to the actual condition of Kuwei dock, protecting measures will be adopted after survey and discussion, so as to reduce the impact to the interest of the inhabitant possibly. Strengthen internal and external independent monitoring activities, establish high efficient and smooth channel for information feedback, reduce informnation processing period, thus ensuring that problems can be resolved timely. During construction, priority will be given to use local materials such as bricks, sand and gravel, etc., as well as local transportation means and labor force, thus resettlers can obtain benefits from the project. 1.5. Project design and review The project item belongs to the World Bank Loading Item, according to the requirement of the World Bank, the project unit will provide practicable RAP plan for the World Bank to review. 1.6. Progress Schedule 1.6.1. Project Implementation Schedule For the project, the preparation work will be implemented in the second half of this year, and will be implemented at the beginning of next year, the whole work will be completed in 2005, and will be put into operation. The total construction time is four years. For the first installation, the power producing period is three and a half years. 4  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 1.6.2. Implementation Plan for Resettlement According to the implementation progress of the main projects, 52 households, with 116 persons will be resettled. The work is now planned to be done in two groups, for the first group of 35 households with 70 persons, the work will be finished by the end of 2001, and for the second group of 17 households with 46 persons, they will move into the houses ahead the end of 2002. 1.7. Preparation for Resettlement and Monitoring 1.7.1. Survey for material index The surveying work for the material index affected by permanent land acquisition and submerged by the reservior, was field explored and surveyed in the whole affected scope by a "surveying group for land requisition and relocating material index of Songshuling hydropower station project", which was composed by Zhushan County Government, Zhushan County Water and Electricity Developing Company, the County Resettlement Bureau, and was guided by the special oppionter of ECIDI. 1.7.2.

At one side, to survey the affected households, family members, knowledge level, employment and land owning, family income resource of expenditure, and the resettlement means. The investigation group also talked with the local cadres, farmers, househoids, publicized the relative things about land requisition, housing relocation, resettlement and the construction to the local economy development. 6  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan Countv Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 2. Socio-economic Conditions in Project Affected Area 2.1. National and Socio-economic Conditions in Zhushan County Zhushan County lies at the northwest of Hubei Province. By the end of 1998, it has 10 towns, 15 townships, 486 administrative villages, 3213 village groups, and 8 residential committee, with a population of 450974, 398894 for agriculture, accounting 88.45% of the total. The birthrate of the county is 8.4%%, 5.2%% for nature. The labor force in country is 186811 persons, with a population density of 126 person/km3. The total land area of the county is 526155mu, the mean cultivate land is 1.32mu per capita. The average product of grains is 397kg/mu, the mean income of the farmer is 1471 yuan every year. The GNP of the county is 1395.5552 million yuan, 596.14 million yuan for agriculture, accounting for 42.7% of the total, and 746.25 million yuan for industry, accounting for 53.5% of the total, 46.22million yuan for construction, accounting for 3.3% of the total, 6.01 million yuan for post work, accounting for 0.43%, and 935200 yuan for other assets, accounting for 0.01% of the total income. The county is at the northwest of Hubei Province, belongs semitropical and monsoon area, with warm weather and enough rainfall. The average annual rainfall is 836.3mm, and the average annual temperature is 15.5C, and the average annual wind speed is 0.8m/s. In the whole county, the mountains are continuos and the higher ones are sticking out, thus form lines of hills and valleys, and makes advantage water resource for the local place; the land resource in the county is also abundant, but hilly land takes a main part, and during 1960 to 1980, trees cutting was serious, so that series of soil erosion was made. After many years' protecting, some places are still not restored. But the plant covering is good and suitable for the growing of plants, rice, wheat and corn are popular in the local place, two times a year. Souci-economic condition for the place submerged and for resettling Sonfshuling Power Station locusts in Jiazhu Village, in Guandu ToWn, the reservoir feedback is 19km, with an area of 2.74km2. Continuos hills surrounded along the two sides of the reservoir, and the riverbed appears like V. The rock system along the river is complete, with high intensity and high ability against efflorescence as well as cliff shape. The slope aside the reservoir bank is basically stable, at the front of the bank, the rocks are sticking out. In the whole reservoir area, the hills are continuos, rising and falling and crossing each other, and the altitude of them are above 700m, along the two sides, the vegetation is developed, generally, the villages local more than 400m altitude; on the right bank, the fourth level road crosses the reservoir along the river, upper the dam site, Liangjia Township road connects with the other bank; in the early 40-50, shipping in the river is possible, but since years' silting up on the riverbed, shipping is basically not smooth at present. However, connecting with the other side of the river, there are three ferries, a chain bridge and a bridge on Liangjia road, so the transportation is convenient in a whole. According to the feasibility design report and knowledge from relative departments, no valuable minerals was submerged by the reservoir; and no developed dissolving tunnel or concealed river was found, the mountains are solid, so generally, no seepage will happen after the project completion. Moreover, no valuable cultural relics or historic site was found. In the 8 villages submerged by Songshuling Power Station, the cultivate land per capita is 7  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan Countv Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 2.02mu, and 11.25mu for woodland per capita. The land resource is abundant overall, and the hilly land is wide, however, the dry land accounts for 89.8% of the total, the grain land per capita in 1999 is 359kg. The basic economic condition in 8 villages of Guandu, Liulin and Liangjia Town is detailed in Table 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4.

Project Impact 3.1. Reservoir inundated scope The normal water level of Songshuling Hydropower Station is 394km(as Huanghai sign), from the dam to the end of the feedback water the length is 19km; and the area of the reservoir is 2.74km2. According to "Design Standard for Reservoir Inundation" and the "Prospecting Table for Water Feedback of Songshuling Power Station", which was provided by Hubei Province Water and Electricity Design and Institute on April 24, 2000, and combining with the actual condition of the reservoir area, the designed flood standard of reservoir submerge is as following: A.For the country residential district, enterprises or department, roads, bridges, power frastructures, telegram frastructures, the flood feedback line will be deternined according to once twenty years(p=5%); B. For cultivate land garden land, it will be ascertained according to once five years(p=20%); C. For woodland, it will be disposed as normal water level; D.To ascertain the tail of the reservoir, the crossing cut down scale, which has the same frequency and lower within 0.3m at the water level, will be defined as horizontal intending place. At the front of the dam, considering the impact of wave and wind, the survey level of p=5% section will be added Im, and 0.5m will be added to p=20% section, so as to ensure the safety.

In another word, after project construction, part of the land was acquisition, but the basic grain ration can be ensured. Overall, project land requisition had little impact on the 8 administrative villages. The loss of project cultivate land requisition will be analyzed in Table 3-6 by proportion of the yearly total income. (take 1999 as an example).

First of all, grain will be reduced about 101 tons annually due to the loss of resource; but Songshuling reservoir area is in the mountains far away, where the economy develops slowly with the long period limitation of nature surroundings, at the same time, for agriculture production, because of the inferior soil quality and lack of fund, farmers invest little on agriculture production thus the formal living level was comparatively low, and the project construction provides a chance for rebuilding the 23  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hvdropower Station Resettlement Action Plan production system as well as the sociality system. The nature resource shall be fully developed and the latent power of land resource shall be tapped, thus to make a overall design on the present land resource, make cultivation suitable and specification suitable, advocate hilly land changing into ladder shape, dry land changing into paddy land, and improve the land with low production to increase the quality of land, and make conditions for the farmers to learn and train, implement scientific management, prepare RAP after careful investigation, resettle at the place with the wonderful traffic and social condition, and provide favorable measures on policies, technical, funds, m materials so as to produce conditions for the resettlers to restore the formal living level or get a better living ability. 24  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 4.

Policy The resettlement policy for the resettlement work of YPSPP is: The resettlement work shall be conducted with due respect and consideration to the local tradition and habit in production and living, with full consideration of the willing of the resettlers. Based on that the original production and living mode will not be changed, the effort will be mainly made in resettlement procedures to develop planting production by using the local 36  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hvdropower Station Resettlement Action Plan land resource and exploitable natural resource in the original town (ship) and villages, and concurrently to develop the secondary and tertiary industries in local area. The inhabitant resettlement shall first be based on guaranteeing the basic substance and provide possibility for long-term development. The local land resource shall be fully utilized for development through resettlement, so as to reach the target of long-term prosperity. 4.3.2. Principles A. Resettlement planning should be based on the property indexes and compensation standards to improve, or at least to restore the original production and living conditions of the resettlers. B. The resettlement of the project shall be combined with the regional construction, resource development, economic development and environment protection. Considering the actual local conditions, practical and feasible measure shall be worked out for restoring and developing the production and living of the resettlers case by case, meanwhile, some necessary conditions shall be created for self-development of the resettlers. C. Planning should be based on the principle "Beneficial to the production and make the life convenient". D. Construction scale and standards of the resettlement project should be guided by the original scale and standards. Investment should be based on the quota planning. Investment for enlarging the scale, improving standards and future planning should be treated by the local government and relative departments. E. All factors should be taken into consideration. Benefits between the stateLIcollectives and individuals should be dealt with properly. F. By adopting the method of paying compensation and granting subsidies in pre-stage and production support in post-stage, and fully using the local natural resources, efforts shall be made to guarantee the resettlers production and living level to reach or exceed the original level before resettlement. 37  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan Countv Songshuling Hvdropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 5. Plan for Resettlement and Restoration Under the leadership of Zhushan County Government, directed by ECIDI, and based on Songshuling Hydropower Station Feasibility Design in Zhushan County, Hubei Province, the planning work of resettlement for Songshuling project(including those for the reservoir inundated area, areas for permanent construction and temporary use) was drawn up according to the present policies, laws and the request of the World Bank. 5.1. Target and Task 5.1.1. Determination of the level year According to the whole progress of the project planning, the project will be commenced in 2001 and put into operation in 2005, with a total construction period of 4 years. In order to cooperate with the construction, the resettlement work will be completed in two periods, 70% of the work will be completed by the end of 2001, the rest will be completed in 2002, so 2001 was determined as the resettlement level year. 5.1.2. Task of Resettlement Calculated according to the impacted population of the project from the survey result in 2000, and the nature increasing rate by 5.2%%, in 2001, 276 persons will be resettled in the reservoir area(including removal and production resettlement), among 14 persons of non- agriculture residence. The resettlement number of the villages is shown in Table 5-1.

Resettlement Objects Due to the inundation, the previous production and living system was damaged, so was the habit and net formed in a long period, but at the same time, a chance for house rebuilding, 38  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan improving their production and living level and developing the economy was provided. So the survey and study work must be done carefully, after analysis and contrast again and again, requiring the opinions of the people widely, the practicable resettlement plan will be formulated, thus wonderful outer condition and environment will be created and the resettlers can find their way out on production and living, and every labor force will be arranged reasonably, at last the production and living level will be improved. According to the present economic status on the resettlement area, and contrast with the Zhushan County "Ninth Five" and "Tenth Five" developing plan, the economic developing target of project resettlement was ascertained: Grain per capita is 660kg; Net income per capita of the resettlers is 1600 yuan; 2. Housing area per capita is 46m ; Public infrastructures, social welfare level, traffic, post and communication, medical treatment and hygiene, going to school of the children will be better than that before removal. 5.2. Environmental Capacity Evaluation The project inundation involved Sangping. Yangpo, Puxi, Taoyuan, Tianchiya, Liuhe, Laozhu, Daping, 8 administrative villages, but of them Liuhe, Laozhu, Daping are at the end of the reservoir area, the cultivate land and woodland was affected basically. According to the geography position and the business feature of the resetters, most of who are going for trading and service, after full investigation and choice of the designations, measures of building a new dam against flood for protection will be adopted, so that the previous living environment will not be affected basically, and to keep their production and living means unchanged. Now the production and living enviromnent of the resettlers in Sangping, Yangpo, Puxi, Taoyuan, Tianchiya will be mainly analyzed. It is detailed in Table 5-2. 39  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hvdropower Station Resettlement Action Plan Variation of cultivate land and woodland before and after land requisition in the reservoir area Table 5.2 Cultivate land per Woodland per V.flag Agricu Rest Rest capita capita Villag Itural Remov cultiva woodlan Pre-land After Pre-land After ers al pop. te land d requisiti land requisiti and re t Orequisiti requisiti on on on on Sangpi 629 50 850 5230 1.46 1.35 8.48 8.32 ng I___ _ Yangp 376 16 1239.5 5630 3.43 3.3 15.24 14.97 0 Puxi 679 39 968.9 17888.5 1.61 1.43 26.70 26.34 Taoyu 659 4 1365 15956 2.16 2.07 24.40 24.21 anI Tianch 1087 7 1654.5 3797 1.54 1.52 3.52 3.5 iya Total 3430 116 6077.9 48501.5 1.86 1.77 15.67 15.47 From Table 5-1, in the five administrative villages affected by inundation, according to the total population in 1999, calculating by 5.2%% to 2001, the cultivate land per capita is 1.86mu before land acquisition, and it is 1.77mu after inundation, and 1.35mu for Sangping village, which has the least, 0.03mu more than the county per capita, 1.32mu; before land acquisition, the woodland per capita is 15.67mu, and it is 15.47mu after inundation, 0.2mu was decreased. According to site survey, the living condition of the resettlers is bad, most of the houses were built during 70s, and they were far from the village committee seat. The residence pots were scattered, and most of their houses were by the river, so sometimes flood will come to the threshold. Only one to two and four to five for most lived together, and their collective living was poor, and with bad traffic condition. Through the project land requisition and resettlement, opportunity for improving living environment will be brought to the resettlers. The main population, cultivate land contrast is shown in Table 5-4. 40  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resenlement Action Plan Calculation of cultivate land in the affected villages and groups Table 5.3 Adminis Total Total cultivate land Cultivate hip) trative househ Pop.

The cultivate land per capita is 1.82mu, 0.8 1mu for the least and 3.8 mu for the most, only one group, with 83 persons, 3.3% of the total, got a land per capita lower than lmu,6 groups, with 847 persons, 33.8% of the total. Of the 8 administrative villages, impact is only for houses but not for cultivate land for three villages. Now according to the important position, after consultation and study, protection measure will be adopted for the affected houses, so the project has little impact on the 41  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan production and living of the three villages. The other administrative villages, have 11 village groups, with 379 households, 1708 persons, cultivate land 271 lmu, with 1.59mu per capita, 0.84mu for the least and 2.86mu for the most, not the same. The village group with a cultivate land per capita lower than lmu has 126 persons, accounting for 7.3% of the totaling; three of them have a cultivate land per capita more than 2mu, with 357 persons, accounting for 20.9% of the total. For the project construction, 52 households, with 116 persons will be relocated, and 315.1mu cultivate land will be requisitioned. All these are detailed in Table 5-4.

Two village groups had got cultivate land per capita lower than I mu, with 224 persons, accounting for 16.5% of the total, and two village groups had got a cultivate land per capita of higher than 2mu, with 229 persons, accounting for 16.9% of the total. From the analysis above, after land requisition, the land resource in local place is abundant, 0.84mu for the least, which can ensure the basic grain ration. Every village had enough places 42  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan for resettlement, although the numbers of resettlers are small to the total population. At the same time, the compensation was put into the production and construction. Then under the premise of ensuring that the grain can be self-provided to the villagers, through woodland management, aquatic, bamboo and wood processing, tourist traffic, etc., the development of No.2 and No.3 industry, the production and living level will be soon restored, moreover, condition will be created for the resettlers to reach or pass the previous living level. After land requisition, the local production and living was impacted at a certain degree, so the present land resource will be used plainly and will be treated. At the same time, the resettlers will be taught of specific knowledge for scientific farming. According to the planning of the affected villages, the rest cultivate land after requisition of Puxi, Sangping, Yangpo will be adjusted in the whole village, for Taoyuan and Tianchiya, and it will be done in the very group. Through the project resettlement, the condition of improving the production and living stable will be created for the resettlers. 5.3. Overall Plan for Resettlement 5.3.1. Selecting of the scheme According to the numbers of the resettlers, combining with the present status of abundant land resource and local economic developing potentiality, after comprehensive analysis and compression, all-round consideration, it is determined that the resettlers will be resettled within the own town(ship) at the back. Paying attention to the practice, and seeing from the angle of the future, the resettlement scheme was selected and leeway was left for the later development of the resettlers. 5.3.2. Resettlement Means For the resettlers of Sangping, Yangpo, Puxi, Taoyuan and Tianchiya, the five administrative villages affected by inundation, they were most agricultural resettled. Although the mean cultivate land is less than that before land requisition in the five villages, it is still more than that of the county level. At the same time, through hilly changing into ladder shape, dry land changing into paddy land, and adding irrigation frastructure. etc.. The auxiliaries, so as to improve the quality of the cultivate land and the production of grain. then under the premise of ensuring the grain self-providing, tourist, processing. trading. etc. The second and third industries will be carried out to increase their economy income and to ensure the object that they can remove and can also get rich; for the resettlers in Liuhe. Daping, Laozhu, measures of protection will be adopted to ensure they can go in for their previous jobs and their production, living will not be impacted. At the same time, they can grasp the chance of the putting into operation of the power station, make out new way of business and production, more business ways and more production means. Thus they can create better outer environment for stable increasing their economy income. 5.4. Protecting Plan for Reservoir Area The inundation in reservoir area involved 3 administrative villages of Liulin, with 6 village groups, 22 households, 100 persons, 10 of them for non-agricultural residence. In the three villages, only 4.5mu cultivate land without registration is affected by inundation. They lived at the old dock, with convenient traffic of water and land, and the trading, service business, industry transportation, repairing shops stood with a great number, the merchants coming and going stayed there like cloud, so it has long been a place the merchant scrambled badlv 43  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan According to our record household by household, the total income of the 22 household in 1999 was 607840 yuan, with 6078.40 per capita, among it 6008.40 yuan was from the catering and service trade. From the data above, the main economic income was from trade, service, catering. Therefore, to protect this piece of fertilized land, after compression once again, according to the villagers' opinions, project protection was adopted. According to the actual shape and surface of the land, it is designed by the County Water Resource and Power Design Group as below: A dam against flood of 432.8m will be built prospectively, with the top height of 404.5m, the wall is 13.529m in height, the bottom is 4.8m wide, the cutting down face is detailed in Appendix 3: The project quantity: 75# stone laying with liquid 15809.5m3, 150# concrete 1171 .1m3, clearing the base 12226.6m3. Project building price: 75# laying stone with water 15809.5m3...134.28 yuan/m2=2122900 yuan; 150# laying stone with liquid 1171.1 m3x279.28 yuan/m3=327000 yuan; clearing base 12226.6m3x6yuan/m3=73400 yuan; Water drawing facilities: pump house 120000 yuan, equipment 280000 yuan, totaling 400000 yuan. The investigation is totaling 2923400 yuan. 5.5. Resettlement Plan 5.5.1. Production Resettlement Plan After inundation, in Snapping, Yangpo, Puxi, Taoyuan, Tianchiya, the cultivate land and woodland is still plenty, with 1.77mu per capita for cultivate land and 15.47mu for woodland. According to our survey and visit to the cadres and farmers in the villages or groups, they still tend to and used to agricultural production. From the present employment status of labor force, 78.2% of the labor force are going in for agricultural production, the distribution of the labor force is detailed in the table below. 44  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan Employment distribution for the labors of the villages in the reservoir area Table 5.4 Employed labors Labors going in for business Outgoing labors Village Total Plantin Shd trnadnsptirya Othe .

It is prospectively to resettle 20 persons: Tourist business: take advantage of the specific view and fascinating scene of Lutou Valley in the area, open tourist, traffic affairs. It is prospectively to resettle 10 persons; Aquatic: after retaining water by the hydropower station, take use of the broaden water surface resource, support the net aquatic, go on the way of rich the reservoir and the people. It is prospectively to resettle 8 persons; Enterprise resettlement: take full use of the advantage of the abundant resource of bamboo and wood in the area, support to develop the village opened and household opened processing enterprise of middle and small type, go on the way of deep processing and intricate processing, broaden the selling channels constantly, so that the products can enter market and the income of the resettlers will increase. It is prospectively to resettle 15 persons. 5.5.2. Plan for Skill Training Training for Resettlement cadres 45  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan In March,2000, the officers, sent by Zhushan County Resettlement Office, were trained by the resettlement professioners of ICIDI in Hangzhou. During the training period, to integrate theory with practice, they visited the domestic item- the resettlement of Tongbo Water Pumping Power Station, Shanxi Water Pivotal Project, drawn up the success experience and learned a lesson, and benefited much, from that they made wonderful foundation for the project resettlement. And later in April in the same year, during the social economy survey, determination of inventory indexes, resettlement-planning period, ECIDI sent some persons there to give site direction for the workers. Training for Resettlers' Production Skill Although there were not a lot of resettlers for the project, however, the labors needed to be trained for higher ability and skill for specific business. a). To meet the need of the planting household, it is feasibly determined to have a training on potato planting in the first half of 2001, and a training of cregrette planting in the first of 2002; b). For the households going in for aquatic, organize them to visit and study in the other place; c). For the households going in for tourist, training of service will be given, and the materials for the local scene will be collected, at the same time the propagation work should be well done. C. Later Support for Resettlers According to Regulations for Land Compensation and Resettlement of Big and Middle Style Water and Power Project, it is suggested to set up subsidy fund in the reservoir area so as to keep and support the resettlers' production developing, and to restore and improve their production and living as quickly as possible. Drawing out from the generated enerage on the standard of 200yuan/person, together ten years of that will be drawn out. The fund will be for estimation, but for the cost of power enerage. 5.5.3. Planning for Resettlement Site Layout of Resettlement site (1). Principles Except the resettlement plan, it will based on the following principles: the original residences are willing and welcome to receive the resettlers; the resettlement site environment capacity is enough and the land resource is ascertained. With convenient traffic, perfect infrastructures and social service net; It is convenient for the resettlers' production, generally, the working site is no more than 2km away; Safety; The new sites are in light of the local conditions, more than 3 to 5 households for every resetting site. (2). The resettlement site distribution design 46  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan According to the principles above, the resettling sites are selected back the level belt, and near to the villages with collective population, thus to make it is convenient for them to join in the collective life, treat the neighborhood. The resettlers are totaling 116 persons, the resettlement site of the villages is as followings: 13 households with 49 persons in Snapping Village, will be resettled at the level belt near the primary school; one household with 4 persons of Taoyuan Village, will be resettled at the level belt near the village committee by the road; 9 households with 38 persons of Puxi Village, will be resettled near the previous primary school or rebuilt a resettlement village; 3 households with 16 persons of Yangpo Village, arranged in the same group, at the level belt back; In Tianchiya village, 4 households were involved, but only one household with 7 persons needed to be resettled(for the other three households, only houses were affected, which would be compensated but not be rebuilt), it is arranged in the same village, near the Liangiiahe cement plant. Construction Land Planning According to the investigation, According to the investigation, the mean house site area is 43.5m2, based on the standard to plan, the number for construction land of the villages is as following a). For Snapping village, 13 households with 49 persons, needs land of 2131.5m2; b). For Taoyuan village, one household with 4 persons, needs land of 174m2; c). For Puxi village, 9 households with 38 persons, needs land of 1653m2; d). For Yangpo village, 3 households with 16 persons, needs land of 692m2; e). For Tianchiya village, one household with 4 persons, needs land of 1 74m2. For the above, it is totaling 4828.5m2(7.3mu). Public Project Facilitates Planning Of the resettlers in the reservoir area, 90% have been electricity-fitted; 50% of them used running water(from the mountains). After removal, electricity has been fitted for every household and they can use running water. Roads and Communication At present, along the left side of the riverside of Guandu river, there is Zhuxiang road to the riverside, so the traffic is convenient. But in Puxi and Yangpo village, the road is not smooth, and the villagers can only carry with boarders to buy and sell things, so much inconvenience is for their production and living. After removal, it is needed to build up three docks, and to build a new village road of 1.5km(connect with Zhuxiang road, at the Puxi management part) to solve the shopping problem. Deployment of social service facilities The administrative villages affected by inundation have got the auxiliaries of primary school, medical treatment house, business net pots, no rebuilding is necessary. 47  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 5.6. Plan for Relocation of Specific Facilities The relative departments provide the plan. The specific for the project is mainly as following: Zhuxiang road, tractor road, power lines, ray chain line, bridges, Mayuhe Power Station, Government's door, docks, etc,. According to the actual project and local conditions, combining with the design requirement of the very period, the plan for the specifics is as follows: 5.6.1. Road Rebuilding Combining with the actual condition of the reservoir area, ensuring to restore the traffic, according to the requirement of the "Feasibility Study Report for Rebuilding Songshuling Power Station Project Affected Road", which was designed by Zhushan County Traffic Bureau in Sep. 1997, fourth level road three periods totaling 8.288km will be built in the area, 6.414km for two periods of Zhuxiang road, 1.874km for the period of Liangjia cement road; 3 bridges will be built, crossing 60m, totaling 136m, a new tunnel will be built with length of 280m; the rebuilt road is 8.5m wide for the base and 6m wide for the road. According to the project reconstruction design plan: the project will be designed at a time and completed in two periods, for the first period, two periods of Zhuxiang road will be completed; for the second period, after the compeltion of dam, use the darn to take instead of bridge to cross the Duhe river, and then rebuild Liangjia road. 5.6.2. Tractor Road Rebuilding The two periods of tractor road to Snapping village group one and Lutou valley float starting pot is totaling 0.85km. It will be carried out together with resettlement removal, and the road will be built to the new residence; in Puxi village, a tractor road of 1.5km will be built to the dock. 5.6.3. Bridges Above Liangjiahe river, a stone-arched bridge with pure crossing of 60m. 95m for length. 6m for wide will be built, and it has been brought into the reconstruction design and requirement which was provided by the county Traffic Bureau: in Puxi village, a chain bridge with 90m of length and 2m for wide will be built, since after reservoir retaining water, the surface will be broaden and it will be difficult to rebuild, so now it is determined to add ships and docks prospectively. 5.6.4. Power lines Restore low voltage line of 220v of 4.4 pole km. 5.6.5. Post ray cable line Restore post ray cable line of 6.25 pole km(from dam 74km broad to 79km broad) 5.6.6. Government's door Restore the government's door of Liangjia Township(4.5x8)m. 48  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 5.6.7. Docks Restore one for each of Liulin, Guandu, Taoyuan village group 6, Yangpo village group 1. 5.6.8. Mayuhe Power Station The power station is beside Liangjia township road; the altitude of the station house surface is 370m, built in 1990. The station will be inundated by Songshuling power station, with an installation capacity of 2x5OOkw, with workers of 28 and 41 5.8m for their living houses. The power station is now in the charge of Zhushan County Water and Electricity Developing Cop.Ltd., and it will lose its function after the completion of Songshuling Power Station. Because there is no suitable condition for power station building, it will be compensated, and the workers there will be transferred to Songshuling Power Station. 5.7. Plan for Clearing the Reservoir Bottom The surface of reservoir is 2.74m2, and the extinct water line is 384m, 116 persons live below the line signing for inundation once twenty years, and the area of the houses is 3984m2. To clear all the concealed peril before the operation of the power station, the bottom must be cleared before water retaining, inclosing clearing construction, hygienic, tomb and woodland. Clearing for constructor and structure All the houses and auxiliaries within the clearing scope must be relocated, the walls(except soil) should be leveled down, and the old and waste materials that easy to float wall are burnt stilly. All the auxiliaries including lines, telegram, broadcast within the scope that interring the safe operation of reservoir will be cleared, and the equipment, materials must be carried away After clearing, the rest height of the big building should be no more than 0.5m above the ground surface. The well, cellar within the area will be blocked, covered. Sanitation and antiepidemic plan The manure pit, sties, toilets, rubbish in the reservoir area will be cleared with sanitation and antiepidemic, carry them out or put them under the sun to be shone so that to sterilize. For every square meter, lkg lime will be used to sterilize, the sewage pit will be filled with soil. Tomb clearing plan The tombs that have been buried within 15 years will be moved out or be treated at the very place, lkg bleaching powder will be used for every pit. Whether the tombs buried before 15 years should be moved is based on the local custom. For the tombs bury land for those died of inflection disease, specific treatment will be taken. Clearing Planning for Woodland Before reservoir retaining water, gardens, woodland, timberland and scattered fruit trees should be fell down along the land level, and be transported out. The tree stakes will be no more than 0.3m, the firewood will also be transported out. The remaining branches, whither wood which easy to float on the water, should be burnt or bleached. 49  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan Countv Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 5.8. Reservoir Developing Plan There is no industry pollution upper the reservoir area, and the residence is scattered, so the water and land resource was well kept, and the water quality is very good, fish and shrimps grows quickly; after completion of reservoir, the tail and bend can be used for aquatic, net fishing and other ways to find out the road to rich. In the reservoir area, especially at the front, the government take advantage of the special nature resource of the jagged rocks of grotesque shapes to develop Lutou Valley Floating tourist line, for this, publication was made through broadcast, TV and newspapers to attract more tourists. After the completion of reservoir, the surface of it will be more wide, the scene will be more grand, then with some auxiliaries and service facilities, more tourists will be attracted, but the local government shall strengthen the management, train the relative workers and provide favorable policies for the resettlers so that to create ways to rich. 5.9. Forecast of the resettlement production and living level After resettlement: The reservoir inundation involved Liuhe, Daping,Laozhu in Liulin township, generally, land resource was not affected. Measures of protecting was taken for their environment and infrastructures, their production and living condition did not change, and so did their employment, at the same time, they can share relative preferential policies, so their ways of production will be broaden and their living level will be improved little by little. The inundation involved cultivate land, woodland, houses of five villages, after inundation, they still got cultivate land per capita of 1.77mu, woodland 15.47mu, according to the grain production of 362kg per mu, they can get 640kg everyone. So the problem of eating can be ensured. Under the premise that there are grain remained, they can go in for trading, eating and drinking service, tourist, aquatic, set up self-opened or cooperate enterprise, so to make market brisk, strengthen people managed economic activities, and stimulate the continuos development of rural economy. After power station resettlement, according to the plan above, the production and living indexes of the resettlers is as the following Table 5-5. 50  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan Budget of the main economic indexes of the reservoir area Table 5.5 Item unit Main economic measures remarks 1 Omean cultivate Mu 1.77 Numbers for mean land cultivate land and mean 2 0mean woodland Mu 15.47 woodland only include 3 0 mean occupied 3 43.5 relocating resettlers, not 30mean occupied m3 43.5 including the resettlers in 40mean living house m3 40 the protection area resettlement area. 5 0mean grain Kg 640 5 Umean grain Kg 640 Build village and group 60 income per capita Yuanlp 1600 roads of 1.5km erson 7 Elabors Person 85 resettlement 801traffic condition Connect the roads in the village with outer roads 9ielectricity and Fit electricity, have pure water supply water From the description above, the land owned by resettlers changed little before and after land resettlement, and the employment of the resettlers in the protecting area kept the same, so did their economic income; for the resettlers in Snapping, Yangpo, Puxi, Taoyuan, Tianchiya, they are mainly resettled by planting. For the present land resource, change the hilly land into ladder shape, change the dry land into paddy land, make suitable for forest forest, make suitable for special, carry out different kinds of business, and there are items for non- agricultural production; after relocation, the house living area didn't increase, but their living quality increased, especial on the structure, thus after two to three years' hard working, they can reach the production and living level before land requisition, and even exceed. 51  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 6. Budget and Estimation of Land Requisition 6.1. Base for Budget Prepared Land Administrative Law of PRC( implemented on 1,Jan.,1999) Planning and Design Specification for Reservoir Inundation Treatment of Hydropower Projects; Implementation Method of Land Administrative Law of Hubei Province Implementation Method of Cultivate Land Occupation Tax in Hubei Province[ezhengfa(l 987) No.73 Notice issued by Hubei Provincial Government]; Woodland Administrative Regulations of Hubei Province; Notice on Levying, Using and Administrative of Forest Tax of Hubei Province, jointly issued by Price Bureau, Finical Bureau and Forest Bureau[ejiazi(1994), No.61 Document] Notice of Decreasing the Buying Price and Arrangement for Buying Price of Late Rice, issued by Zhushan County Price Administrative Bureau[zhuguanzi,(l 999), No.18, No.35 document] 6.2. Compensation Principles Criteria of land compensation and resettlement subsidy is ascertained according to Land Administrative Law of PRC and Method of Land Implementation of Hubei Province; Compensation criteria for house and auxiliaries is ascertained according to the replacement cost; Compensation criteria for specific facilities is based on the affected degree and the need of actual restoration; Fees for protection will be ascertained according to design; The other fees are ascertained according to the present regulations. 6.3. Compensation Criteria The price taken for estimation is the price level of 1999. and the level year of reservoir inundation treatment temporarily determined is 2001, the production of grain is as the level as that of 1999, by an increasing rate of 1.5%, thus estimate to 2001. Corns, wheat and rice are mainly planted in the reservoir area. 6.3.1. Compensation for resettlement of the rural area Land compensation and resettlement subsidy Compensation for cultivate land requisition and resettlement subsidy Calculated by the mean grain production per mu of the five administrative villages, Snapping, Taoyuan, Puxi, Yangpo, Tianchiya, of 1997,1998,1999, which is 362kg, and by an increasing 52  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan rate of 1.5%, thus to 2001, suppose the grain production per mu is 367kg, the price is based on the actual cultivate land planting. In the local area, crops are mainly planted on dry lahd, and rice only take a proportion of 20%. The local grain production, according to the proportion of rice, corn, wheat, etc., calculate by Zhushan County Price Bureau(1999) No.35 and (1999) No.18, the grain price is 1.06yuan/kg, and the side-products, calculate as 75% of the grain production, the price is 0.20yuan/kg. Then the price of grain is 1.24yuan/kg. By calculation, the mean year production is 455.5yuan/mu of the five villages three years before land requisition. Compensation for land requisition is 8 times the mean production value three years before land requisition. Resettlement subsidy is caulked according to the number of persons needed to be resettled, calculated by using the land requisitioned to decide the mean cultivate land occupation number. The subsidy criteria for every one who needed to be resettled is 5 times of the mean production value of the cultivate land three years before. After calculation, the sum of the compensation and the resettlement subsidy in the five villages in the reservoir area is 4665yuan/mu, no resettlement subsidy for the land without registration (3446yuan/mu).

Equilibrium analysis for fund using and resettlement fees The project resettlement planning investment is based on the present policies and regulations, according to the market price, the resettlement design that was complied after investigation, study and analysis, then get out the budget of the fees needed for the project implementation. And based on the affected inventory indexes, the resettlement designation, and under the premise of which, the budget is higher than or equal to the resettlement planning total investment, the design budget was made out, so that the resettlement plan will surely be implemented smoothly. The resettlement in the reservoir area is mainly agricultural resettlement backward, and the relocating households were all resettled in their own village, especially at the tail of the reservoir, measures of protection was taken to protect the present advantage of position. The resettlement fees was all used for the development of local collective production and the construction of village infrastructures, the rest is for the welfare for most of the villagers. After land requisition, land was adjusted within the scope of the whole village; for the project protection fees and the fees for restoration of specific project, the -fund must be used for its special purpose only. The planning resettlement investment is basically consistent with the designed budget after its adjustment. 62  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 7.

Public Participation and Appeal During formulating resettlement policy, drawing up the RAP and resettlement implementation, the relevant authorities have paid and will pay special attention to the participation and consultation of the PAPs, and solicit pinions and proposals for several times on resettlement work and transmission line routes from the government, people's congress, People's Political Consultative Conference, social bodies, representatives of the mass of prefectures(cities), counties(cities), relevant town(ship). In preparation of the RAP, the PRO has once again solicited the opinions from local governments at all levels and the resettlers' representatives on the resettlement and compensation. With cooperation of local governments at all levels, this RAP is complied. In the implementation stage, the resettlement offices at all levels will further encourage the public participation in the resettlement and rehabilitation. 9.1. Public Participation 9.1.1. Participation in Resettlement Preparation The office has consulted extensively with local government at all levels and relevant authorities responsible for power, planning, land administration and telecommunication on the project locations, site cooperation and confirmation of local governments. The local governnents held meetings participated by the residents and cadres from towns, villages and villager groups, on land requisition and resettlement. At the meetings, the necessity of construction of the project and resettlement policies was made known to all involved. 9.1.2. Participation in RAP Preparation For land requisition and relocation of Songshuling Power Station project, the inventory indexes survey was carried out in the end of 1999. In April,2000, Zhushan County Government organized relevant departments, together with the workers sent by ECIDI, implemented the inventory indexes survey in a whole scope, and prepared the "Hubei Zhushan County Songshuling Power Station Resettlement Planning Report". While investigating into the resettlers, administrative villages. town(ship)and relative units, the sense and importance of the project construction were popularized. They also organized meetings at different levels, consulted on the means on the resettlement in the reservoir area, collected their suggestions and ideas. During the preparation of the RAP, the local governments at all levels and resettlers participated in the following activities: level of county and town: from 1999 to May,2000, carried out resettlement work 10 times, with 60 persons involved; level of village and group: from March to May in 2000, carried out resettlement work 10 times, with 198 persons involved. The objects were mainly of village cadres and resetters representatives;e.g.: On March, 18, Zhushan county government held a mobilization meeting on inventory indexes and social survey, participated by the representatives from Resettlement Bureau, Water and 77  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan Electricity Developing Cop.Ltd., Planning Committee, Traffic Bureau, Forestry Bureau, Construction Committee, Post Office, governments of town(ship)s and village resettlers. On the meeting, the county Resettlement Office introduced the resettlement policies and arranged the survey the investigation work, and required the village resettler representatives to popularize the the resettlement work. On April 3, a meeting held by the Water and Electricity Development Cop.Ltd., and participated by the county resettlement bureau, the Cop.Ltd., ECIDI, and the consulting topic was "Songshuling Power Station Land Requisition and the RAP".

E In April,2000, again surveyed the project affected inventory indexes, the resettlement organizations at different levels, villages and villager groups participated the work. F In the future, through resettlement organizations at different levels, the county resettlement leading group will strengthen the popularization and encourage the participation of the villagers by the following measures: -----public the property before payment of compensation, the affected inventory indexes of the households will be publicized to be monitored by the resettlers. 80  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan Countv Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan -----Public the compensation policies Before compensation for the affected items, the compensation policies will be publicized first, so to be monitored by the resettlers. -Set up resettlers' information volume To ensure that the resettlers and the local government fully know the RAP and the plan of compensation, resettlement, the county resettlement will prepare a volume for resettlers' information. Before allocate land compensation to the county resettlement office, the volumes will be delivered to all the resettled households. The volume includes the following content: main content of RAP; resettlement compensation and resettlement policies; resettlers' right; channels for responding to grievance and appeal. -----Hold meetings It is mainly arranged ahead of the implementation of land requisition and relocation, made continuos and further lecture on relative policies, regulations, compensation criteria, so that the villagers can know and arrange early. 9.1.3. Participation in Implementation of RAP The resettlers will participate in the whole process of the PAP. A Participation in House Reconstruction (1). Housing compensation criteria The compensation criteria for housing will directly affect the interest of the Resettlers. Before the houses relocated, the relevant resettlement authority will consult and sign an agreement with the resettlers on the compensation criteria for the houses. The consulting results will be declared publicly before the agreement signed, so as to put the resettlement under public supervision. (2). Resettlement host sites and house relocation At the RAP preparation stage, the relevant authority carried out survey on the resettlement host sites and the way of house reconstruction. (see Table 9-1). According to the survey, most of them are willing to have their houses relocated in their own groups and by themselves. The local governments at all levels will give a helping hand at different stages for house relocation. (3) Disposal of Old Houses All the old houses to be relocated will be compensated at resettlement cost. Within a specified time period, resettlers can, on their will, demolish their old houses first and then rebuild the new houses or vice-versa. Resettlers themselves without deduction from compensation can use the salvageable material from the old houses. B Participation in Production Rehabilitation All the resettlers must participate in the land readjustment and allocation. 81  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan County Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan C Participation in Land Compensation Using and Management The land compensation will be paid to the village, and the government above the county level will arrange the using, and any unit or individual will not use it. D Participation in Project Construction The project construction will cause certain impact on the local community. In order to ensure the PAPs to get benefit from the project construction, the local people will be encouraged to take part in the construction, and favorable conditions will be created to use local materials and local labor force. 9.2. Responding to Grievance and Appeal The public participation is always encouraged in the process of compiling and implementing of the RAP. There will be some unforeseeable problems occurring in the process. In order to solve problems effectively and ensure the project construction and land requisition to be carried out successfully, a transparent and effective appeal channel has been set up respectively for rural resettlement. The procedures are described as follows: Stage 1. If any resettler is aggrieved by any respect of the resettlement, he can appeal to the village committee and the town(ship) resettlement office in oral or in written form. If an oral appeal is made, the village will record it on paper and process it. Village committee or town(ship) resettlement office will make decision on or resolve it in two weeks. Stage 2. If the aggrieved resettler is not satisfied with the decision of stage 1. He can appeal to the county resettlement office after receiving the decision; the county resettlement office will make decision in two weeks. Stage 3. If the resettler is still dissatisfied with the decision of the resettlement office, he can will appeal to the civil division of a people's court according to the civil procedural law after receiving the decision of the PRO. The resettlers can appeal on any respect of the resettlement, including compensation criteria. The organizations accept the appeals and grievance of the PAPs free of charge, and the PRO under project contingency will pay the expense incurred therefore. The resettlers will know their right of lodging appeal during participation in the public meetings and by other ways. At the same time, the appeal process will be publicized among the PAPs through media. The relative authorities will sort out the opinions and proposals of the PAPs and the resettlement offices at all levels will process the information in a timely and effective manner. 82  Hubei Province Hydropower Project Zhushan Countv Songshuling Hydropower Station Resettlement Action Plan 10. Monitoring and Evaluation In order to guarantee that the RAP can be smoothly implemented and the resettlement target suitably realized the follow-up fact-finding and monitoring will be carried out in whole process. Monitoring on the resettlement will be divided into two parts, i.e, internal monitoring(by the resettlement office) and external independent monitoring. 10.1. Internal Monitoring and Report 10.1.1. Target and Task The target of internal monitoring is to maintain responsibility of the resettlement organs as specified in RAP during implementation, and ensure that the project can be constructed smoothly and the resettlers' legal rights will not be impaired. The auditing department of the government above the county level will independently exercise the auditing monitoring function over conceming units under its jurisdiction in accordance with the laws and regulations. The superior units assume the responsibilities for monitoring their subordinates so that the RAP principal and schedule can be followed. 10.1.2. Institution and Staff The routine work of internal monitoring will be organized by the PRO of the project owner, and be performed by the county resettlement office, the county Land Administrative Bureau, town resettlement work group and villages. To ensure an effective internal monitoring, one to two full-time professionals have been signed for each resettlement offices. All of them have participated or will participate in preparation and implementation of the RAP, they will also carry out internal monitoring and control of the resettlement progress. Institutions and persons involved in internal monitoring and data processing are shown in Table 10-1.

Monitoring Procedures Develop an internal monitoring framework to supervise the resettlement activities. The project owner establish a database for the land requisition, housing relocation, and resettlement, and will monitor the whole process of preparation and implementation. The county resettlement office will establish relevant database, and renew them along with the resettlement progress for planning the resettlement work, and monitor the whole process of the resettlement. During the implementation stage, the county resettlement office will record the resettlement massages submitted by the township resettlement groups and based on the formats prepared by monitoring institutions. They will also timely transfer the on-going activity records to the county resettlement office so that a continuous monitoring can be realized. The county resettlement office will practice periodic inspections to affected villages and towns and report the implementation progress. In the above internal monitoring system, a set of formats of information lists have been drawn up so as to realize the continuous massage flows from the village to the PRO. The county resettlement office, the town resettlement work group are important chains in the internal monitoring system, and their work will be periodically checked and inspected. 10.1.5. Reporting Internal monitoring report A. Reporting circle After starting of the resettlement implementation, working reports will be submitted at least once three months from the town resettlement work group to the county resettlement office, and the similar reports be submitted from the county resettlement office to the county resettlement leading group or the project owner. And special events will be reported without any delay. The resettlement offices are required to prepare a work report summarizing the work of each implementation stage. B.
