Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
Foreword
I.Purpose of preparing this resettlement action plan
1The resettlement action plan (RAP) is prepared in accordance with the applicable laws of the People’s Republic of China and local regulations and a series of provisions in the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 Involuntary Resettlement for the purpose of “developing an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project”.
II.Definitions of terms
Displaced persons
2Based on the criteria for eligibility for compensation, “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 paragraphs 2(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance. Persons covered under paragraph 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the 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. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in paragraph 2(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land.
Compensation and resettlement measures
4To address the following impacts of the involuntary taking of land: (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, a resettlement plan or a resettlement policy framework shall be prepared to cover the following:
(a)The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons 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 full replacement cost[i], for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.
(b)If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are:
(i) provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and
(ii) provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, 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 includes 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: means the date of publication of the bulletin of land acquisition and relocation in this project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their houses; shall not change the uses of their houses and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their houses; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person.

Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2)
1 Overview of the Project
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the World Bank Financed Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) (hereinafter referred to as the “Project”) is to improve the water quality of the Liujiang River by constructing sewage systems for Sanjiang, Rongshui, Rong’an and Liucheng Counties, Liuzhou Municipality, further improving the sewage systems of the urban area of Liuzhou, and conducting institutional development and capacity building for Liuzhou Sewage Treatment Co., Ltd. The rapid urbanization of the seats of the 4 counties in the upper Liujiang River has led to water quality deterioration, so the Project is important not only for improving the water quality of the Liujiang River, but also for maintaining the water quality improvement of the urban area resulting from the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 1). The Project involves the construction of a sludge disposal plant, the Suburb Drainage Project, and two sewage treatment plants in the urban area, and equipment purchasing for the sewage treatment plants of the 4 county towns. The planned implementation period of the Project is from 2009 to 2019[ii], in which submission for approval, engineering design and bidding for the Project will be completed during 2008 and 2009, the construction period will commence in 2009, and the whole Project will be put into operation by 2019.
1.2 Project Composition and Resettlement Impacts
The Project involves the construction of a sludge disposal plant (this subproject will be built on an open space of Yufeng Cement Mill, and does not involve resettlement, for which OP4.12 does not apply), the Suburb Drainage Project and two sewage treatment plants, and equipment purchasing for 4 sewage treatment plants. The Project involves one city (Liuzhou City), two districts (Liudong New District and Liubei District), 4 counties (Sanjiang, Rongshui, Rong’an and Liucheng Counties), 6 townships and 6 villages. In addition, through careful identification, the garbage landfill construction projects of Sanjiang, Rongshui, Rong’an and Liucheng Counties are related to the Project.
The Project will occupy 2,872.964 mu of land in total (the 4 related garbage landfill projects occupy 713.02 mu of land), in which the Sewage Treatment Project will occupy 2,159.944 mu of land, including 617.154 mu of land permanently and 1,542.79 mu of land temporarily. In the permanently occupied land, there is 161.405 mu of state-owned land, including 12.06 mu occupied by the Guantang sewage treatment plant, 7.99 mu by the Sanjiang sewage treatment plant, 1.125 mu by the Rongshui sewage treatment plant ,66.6 mu by the Rong’an sewage treatment plant , 62.85 mu by the Liucheng sewage treatment plant and 10.78 mu by the Suburb Drainage Project; 455.749 mu of rural collective land will be occupied permanently, in which the Shatang Sewage Treatment Subproject and the Suburb Drainage Project will occupy 41.96 mu of land, the Guantang Sewage Treatment Subproject 319.26 mu, the Sanjiang Sewage Treatment Subproject 16.219 mu, the Rongshui Sewage Treatment Subproject 72.45 mu, and the Liucheng Sewage Treatment Subproject 5.86 mu. The pipelines account primarily for the temporarily occupied land, and will occupy 1,520.1 mu of state-owned land and 22.69 mu of collective land. In addition, the Project involves the demolition of business premises of 1,167.21 m2 in total. The scope and main resettlement impacts of the Project are detailed in Table 1 1. The state-owned land occupied by the Liucheng Sewage Treatment Subproject will be detailed in Appendix 6.
