3 Objectives of the RAP and the Definition of Resettlement Terminology Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared according to the Laws and Regulations of PRC, and Zhejiang Province as well as the Guidelines of the World Bank (Operational Directive for Involuntary Resettlement OP 4.12). The purpose of this document is to set out an Action plan for the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) in Resettlement and Rehabilitation to assure them of benefit and better living conditions or the restored living conditions at least after the projection. Requisition of land and other assets in the project will adversely affect the livelihood of persons who live, work or earn their living on the land. PAPs are defined as those whose production or livelihood are adversely affected by land requisition, which includes: a) Those whose lands (premise, lands for public facilities, agriculture, forestry, fishery and side occupation), buildings (private houses and attachments, enterprises or public buildings), rights or other assets acquired or possessed fully or partly, permanently or temporarily; b) Those who use the land buildings or assets described above; or those whose business, occupation, living place or habits are adversely affected; c) Those whose living stantards are adversely affected as a consequence of land requisition. A definition of PAPs is given below: Definition of the PAPs: "Affected Persons" means persons who on account of the execution of the project had or would have their: a) living standard adversely affected; or b) right, title or interest in any house, land (including premises, agricultural and grazing land) or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed, temporarily or permanently; or c) business, occupation, work or living place or habits adversely affected, PAPs may be individuals or legal persons such as a company, a public institution. 3

4 Definition of PAPs is not limited lto their legal registration or permission to live or conduct business in the affected location, or their title to property. Thus, it includes: a) All those affected by the project regardless of their legal rights or absence thereof to the assets being taken; and b) Persons without residential permit to live in a certain area. Therefore all such persons who are affected will be considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal connection to assets land or location. If there are more than one person, family or household using or holding a title to the same land or property that is acquired they will be compensated and rehabilitated according to the loss they suffer, their rights, and the impact on their living standards. The definition of PAPs is linked directly to the adverse effect of the project, regardless of legal rights title or interest. All PAPs are entitled to the improvement or at least restoration of their standards of living, and compensation for the material losses they suffer. Compensation for assets will cover replacement cost. No deductions or discounts will be applied to the compensation amount for depreciation or other reasons. All PAPs deriving an economic benefit from the affected land and property are entitled to receive rehabilitation benefits in addition to the compensation for their assets lost. Those PAPs without title, authorization or legal permission to reside, conduct business, cultivate land or construct structures are eligible for rehabilitation of their livelihoods and compensation for their assets on an equal footing with those with formal legal title, authorization or permissions to the assets. The term RESETTLEMENT includes: a) the relocation of living quarters; b) finding acceptable new employment for those whose jobs are affected; c) restoration (or compensation) of affected productive resources such as land, workplaces, trees and infrastructure; d) restoration of other adverse effect on PAPs' living standards (quality of life) through land requisition (such as the adverse effects of pollution); e) restoration of or compensation for affected private and public enterprises; and f) restoration of adversely affected on cultural or common property. Rehabilitation means: the restoration of the PAPs' resource capacity to continue with productive activities or lifestyles at a level higher or at least equal to that before the project. 4

5 The objective of this RAP is to provide a plan for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs so that their losses will be compensated and their standards of living will be improved or at least restored to the pre-project levels. To achieve these objectives the plan provides for rehabilitation measures so that the income earning potential of individuals are restored to sustain their livelihoods. Affected productive resources of businesses (enterprises including shops) and public property, infrastructure and cultural property will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-project levels. 5

9 1 Introduction 1.1 Brief Description of Project Environmental improvement works of Dongqianhu is one of the comprehensive environment improvement works of Ningbo. Successful implementation of this project will be sure to improve the water quality and increase water supply volume for industry and agriculture so as to change the present situation greatly and improve the living conditions of residents in the service area, and the improvement of the environment quality can enhance the tourist value of this area, and in turn can attract more investment from outside.the project will promote the development of the second and tertiary industries (especially the tertiary industry ) and it not only play an important role in economic booming of the city and the province but also in the ecological environment protection of the area Project Components Dongqianhu works include 2 sub-projects: A. Road works around the lake,and B. Sewage intercept construction works Basic Conditions A Roads works around the lake Dongqianhu Lake is about 15km from Ningbo City, it is the only place with mountains and rivers for tourism and relaxation. There is a national highway from Ningbo to Fenghuashiyan passing by Dongqianhu Lake, but for

10 the lake area, there are only some rough country roads available. In order to support the implementation of the dredging and sewage intercept works, it is planned to build a new highway around the lake. The highway is designed to be part A, B, C and part A and C are new road with length 15.3km; part B is reconstructed road and the total length is 18.1km. Along the highway 47 culverts will be constructed or reconstructed. B Sewage intercept and improvement works around the lake Project includs the lay of trunk sewer vbith length 40.8KM (diameter 150mm-700mm and the build of 9 pump stations. According to the characteristics of sewage discharging in different places along the bank of Dongqianhu lake, the sewage intercept conduit in this project consists of four branches, i.e. branch from Mashancun to Hutangcun along the south and west banks of the lake to be equipped with two sewage pump stations (Xiangkan pump station and Guojiachi pump station); branch from Shangshuicun along the dike to Hutangcun along the east bank of the lake to be equipped with one sewage pump station (XiaoputLuo sewage pump station); branch from Miaonongcun to Zhengaicun along the north bank of the lake to be equipped with one sewage pump station (Dongqiaihu Hotel sewage pump station), and branch from Xiashuicun along the sew/age collecting dam to Gaoqiancun to be equipped with two sewage pump stations (Shanghongqiao sewage pump station and Gaoqiancun sewage pump station). Additionally, two sewage pump stations at Hutang and Zhengai separately will be built along the sewage intercept conduit, and Honglincun pressure sewage pump station will be built at the terminal of sewage intercept conduit. 2
