I Introduction 1.1 Project Overview

1.1.1 Project Components Hefei Urban Environment Improvement Project (HUEIP) Utilizing ADB Loan

has eight sub-projects in implementation so far. They are: Banqiao River

Rehabilitation and Flood Control Improvement, Ershibu River Rehabilitation and

Flood Control Improvement, Sili River Rehabilitation and Flood Control

Improvement, Improvement of Hefei Municipal Sewers, Improvement of the Closed

Qingxi Road Landfill Site, Shiwuli River WWTP and associated pipeline networks,

Wangtang WWTP Phase II, and Improvement of Chao Lake Ecological Environment

and Flood Control Works。

1.1.2 Project Content and Project Scale In the past few years, along with the Great Construction in Hefei, the population

in the city has increased a lot and industrialization is speeded up, which resulted

serious surface water pollution. Except a few water courses, majority of other water

bodies has pollutant concentrations exceeding Hefei City Environmental Functional

Standard. Water quality in Chao Lake has exceeded National Surface Water

Environmental Quality Class III, while water in Nanfei River, Shiwuli River and

Ershibu River has exceeded Class V. At present, the wastewater treatment ratio is

only 66%. Associated with industrial wastewater, the treatment ratio is only 50%.

More than half of the wastewater is dumped into the water course directly, which will

join Chao Lake finally. Part of the water courses has lost its function, which greatly

threatens the Chao Lake water quality.

The HMG has be aware of the environmental degradation problem. To solve the

similar problems, and maintain the sustainability of Hefei City, a multi-organization

composed environmental protection plan was developed. Thus, HMG has made a list

of key projects, and requested ADB for funding, which is Hefei Urban Environmental

Improvement Project (HUMIP). The HUMIP is a key component to achieve the goals.

This project will improve the public wastewater treatment and flood control to

improve the environment. Meanwhile, through reduced poverty, new employment

opportunities, attracting investment and business activities, and reduce the possibility

to get diseases related to wastewater and air born, Hefei residents will earn a better


2

living condition.

HUEIP project includes building up wastewater treatment plants, wastewater

sewers, closed landfill improvement, dredging and anti-flood infrastructure, and Chao

Lake Ecological Environmental Improvement. The summary of the project is listed in

road and a few farmland. 61 households in Dayu Town Luji village No.2 village group

will be affected, with farmland for 256 people. No resettlement or demolition.

Though sewer pipeline construction will take some temporary land, however, as

the constructions of mains will use pipe jacking technology, and the placement of

pipes will take place during same time as road construction and installation of other

infrastructure, thus the placement of those pipes will not involve land acquisition.

However, as the component of the road construction, according to ADB requirement,

due diligence shall be conducted.

6. Improvement of Hefei Municipal Sewers

1.5 mu land shall be permanently acquired. The land belongs to one household

of Caoshuwang Village in Yaohai District. 40 mu land shall be temporarily occupied

Qingxi Road, Qingyang Road, Gaoliu Road and Jinniu Road. The Phase I project 80

thousand m3/d was completed and trailly started on September 2003. In January 2004,

it was officially started. The land for Phase II project has already been acquired during

Phase I project, without any resettlement or demolition work. The pumping station

has also been finished, with the owner of Hefei Municipal Construction Commission.

The land was transferred with no charge.

Though sewer pipeline construction will take some temporary land, however, as

the constructions of mains will use pipe jacking technology, and the placement of

pipes will take place during same time as road construction and installation of other

infrastructure, thus the placement of those pipes will not involve land acquisition.

However, as the component of the road construction, according to ADB requirement,

due diligence shall be conducted.

II The first survey on baseline and resettlement 2.1 Survey Time and Contents

Early at the beginning of the project in 2006, as the assistant unit for RAP preparation, Coal Industry Hefei Design Institute Environmental Engineering Institute (“the Institute”) made the preliminary baseline survey on resettlement. The Institute made the first baseline survey on resettlement during July 20th 2008 to July 27th 2008. Based on the previous accomplishment, guided by ADB specialist and assisted by each IAs, the Institute conducted the second survey during December 1st 2008 to January 20th 2009.

The survey includes: （1）Land acquisition influence survey: Changes of land before vs after; income

before vs after; （2）Social-economic survey: Including basic information (population, name,

professional, land, etc), living condition survey (education, employment, income, etc); （3）Public opinion survey; （4）Survey on affected households: housing condition before vs after, including area, structure, affiliate, etc; （5）Survey on affected enterprises: name of enterprise, nature, scale, production

value, number of employees, area, affected conditions, etc; （ 6 ） Survey on vulnerable groups: number of household, remuneration

distribution etc; （7）Organization condition: staffing and working conditions; （8）Communications: which communications channels shall be used, whether the

remuneration standards are known by large mass, etc; （9）Money distribution: divided by planned and actual, including to different

levels, achieving status shall be monitored, etc; （10）Collect photos, audio, video, real stuffs, etc.

The survey shall be conducted against the implementation schedule. For projects which have not been implemented yet, additional survey might be conducted during the next Phase survey.

2.2 Changes during the implementation of the project Due to the long time gap between FSR and PD, especially due to the detailed

study in PD according to actual conditions, the confirmed land acquisition scope

might be different from original RAP. Meanwhile, RAP was composed on 2006, the

design changes and development of the city was not reflected, thus several changes on

land type, number of demolished house, affected household number were found in

this survey. Projects with changes are mainly Improvement of the Closed Qingxi Road

Landfill Site, Sili River Rehabilitation and Flood Control Improvement, Banqiao

River Rehabilitation and Flood Control Improvement, Ershibu River Rehabilitation

and Flood Control Improvement and Chao Lake Ecological Environment and Flood

Control Works. Others have few changes. Details are listed in Table 2.2.1.

monitoring agency; (3) town committee/community and county land management

bureau and demolition arrangement office; (4) HMG; and (5) Law procedure.

It shall be emphasized that HMG has set up an independent external monitoring

agency, composing of 20 high level leaders from HMG. This agency is called Hefei

Land Acquisition and Resettlement Arrangement Supervization and Management

Committee. The main responsibility of this committee is to examine and supervise the

remuneration distribution. If the remuneration value and distribution time is different

from the Document, the Committee has the right to stop the construction. Thus, if


30

affected has different opinions, he might complain at any time to the member of the

Committee while they are supervising on site.

According to Table 3.5.1, 90% of interviewees know the normal compliant channel, and are content with the complaint results.

IV Conclusions on monitoring and evaluations

4.1 Problems encountered during the implementation of the projects

There are totally eight sub-projects under Hefei ADB Loan. Those involving large amount of resettlement arrangement works are: Sili River Rehabilitation and Flood Control Improvement, Ershibu River Rehabilitation and Flood Control Improvement, Banqiao River Rehabilitation and Flood Control Improvement Chao Lake Ecological Environment and Flood Control Works and Shiwuli River WWTP. Projects of Improvement of Hefei Municipal Sewers,Wangtang WWTP Phase II and associated pipeline networks and Improvement of the Closed Qingxi Road Landfill Site involve few resettlement arrangement work. For the current five projects involving large amount of resettlement, Sili River project has already finished land measurement, resettlement contract has been concluded with the affected community committee, the compensation for partly completed demolition has been made; Shiwuli River project also finished land acquisition process, the compensation amount of RMB 1.758 million which was due to pay earlier back has been in place with the village committee; The project progress for Chao lake Ecological Environment and Flood Control Works is ongoing smoothly, demolition and relocation for Feixi county has been completed and compensation fund has been in place; Land measurement for Ershibu river project, Banqiao river project have been finished, some contracts have been concluded and compensation work has started, however the progress needs to speed up, for along with the time, the planned resettlement fund might be adjusted due to the elevated price and related laws, which will influence the budget and schedule of the project. Of the three projects involving a small amount of resettlement, Qingxi Road Landfill and Wangtang WWTP Phase II projects have finished land acquisition work. For the distribution of the remuneration fund, part of the interviewees thought the remuneration speed is relative slow, and hope related organizations might work together to accelerate the distribution speed.

4.2 Project influence At present, Wangtang WWTP Phase II and associated pipeline networks doesn’t

involve permanent land acquisition. Temporary land acquisition might occur during


31

the construction. Temporary in original RAP has been optimized in design and construction. Environmental minimization measures and road construction measures have been reduced greatly. There is no more direct affect to surrounding residents. For other items, through survey, 90% of the interviewees know the resettlement plan. For all items which have finished the process of land acquisition, affected people are generally content with the arrangement work.
