June 2008

Preface

I. The objective of Resettlement Action Plan

1This Resettlement Action Plan is formulated on the basis of the laws, regulations and policies of the People’s Republic of China, and Local Government 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 Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the Displaced persons (DPs) to ensure that they will benefit from the project and their standards of living will be improved or at least be restored after the project impact.

II. Definition of Relative Terms

DPs

2Criteria for Eligibility. Displaced persons may be classified in one of the following three groups:

(a)those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country);

(b)those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets—provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan; and

(c)Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying.

3Persons covered under 2(a) and 2(b) are provided compensation for the land they lose and other assistance. Persons covered under 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for land they occupy and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve objectives set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date established by the borrower and acceptable to the World Bank[1] . Those who encroach on this area after cut-off date are not entitled to the compensation or any other resettlement assistance. All persons included in 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land.

Compensation and Resettlement Measures

4In order to address the impacts caused by compulsive land acquisition resulting in (i) relocating or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; (iii) loss of income source or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, an RAP or Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) should be prepared that covers the following:

(a)The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure DPs are

(i)Informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement;

(ii)Consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and

(iii)Provided prompt and effective compensation at replacement cost[2] for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.

(b)if the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement or resettlement policy framework should include measure to ensure that the displaced persons are

(i)provided assistance (such as moving allowance) during the relocation;

(ii)provided with residential house, or house sites, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site.

(c)Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also include measures to ensure that displaced persons are

(i)offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living;

(ii)Provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in paragraph 4(a) (iii), such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities.

5cut-off date: the date in this project refers to the date that bulletin of land acquisition and house demolition is issued. DPs are not allowed to build new house, expand the building, rebuild, change the usage of house and land, lease land, or rent/bargain the house. Besides, persons moving into project areas after this date are not entitled to be compensated.

According to the fund source and implementing plans, the WWTP is to be financed by the WB, while the supported pipelines including truck pipelines, primary and secondary pipelines and pump stations will be constructed with domestic counterpart funds, which are linkage projects. Ningbo Municipal Engineering Prophase Office perpared the RAP for the WWTP and truck sewage pipelines. Meanwhile,since the resettlement impacts induced by the primary and secondary pipelines and pump stations Ningbo cannot be identified in this stage, Municipal Engineering Prophase Office designed a Resettlement Policy Framework for the potencial resettlement impacts . In the implementation of supported pipeline network, if land acquisition and resettlement are involved, the resettlement policy framework would be triggered. The resettlement policy framework is shown in annex 1.
