A. Introduction

This updated Resettlement Plan (URP) is about Jixi City Urban Drainage Infrastructure

Construction Subproject - Pipe Canal Subproject (JX-WT-W11). The URP should be read

in conjunction with the agreed Resettlement Plan in May 2017, the website is :

https://www.adb.org/zh/projects/documents/prc-49021-002-rp-1.

B. Resettlement impacts identified at the feasibility stage

The 2017 Resettlement Plan (RP) confirmed that a total length of the newly built sewer

network and stormwater pipe network is 39.5 km, and a total length of the newly built open

channel is 10.1 km. Because the new sewage pipe network and stormwater pipe network

are laid in one side of existing roads, only temporary occupation of a total of 240 mu of

state-owned road land is involved. New open channels require permanent acquisition of 18

mu of collective land, affecting 75 households and 249 people. All civil work construction of

the contract does not involve house demolition.

C. Changes to the project scope at the detailed design stage

1. Engineering parameters in the Feasibility Study and the Resettlement Plan

are inconsistent

The engineering parameters, like length of pipelines, in the Feasibility study report (FSR)

and the RP are inconsistent. The Jixi Urban Drainage Infrastructure Construction

Subproject - Pipe and Canal Construction Contract (JX-WT-W11) is part of the Jixi Urban

Drainage Infrastructure Construction Subproject. The contents under this contract include:

(1) a new sewer pipeline network; (2) a new stormwater pipeline network; and (3) a new

stormwater open canal. After comparing the engineering parameters in the RP and the FSR

of this contract, it is found that some parameters are inconsistent. In the preliminary design

and detailed design, the engineering parameters are also changed compared to those in

the FSR, and the specific changes are shown in the table below:

As the implementing unit, Jixi Municipal Facilities Maintenance Centre believes that the

engineering parameters in the RP may have statistical errors since the engineering

parameters in the FSR were not changed at the feasibility study stage. Compared to the

FSR, the lengths of the new sewage pipelines and stormwater open canals planned at the

feasibility study stage has been reduced. The specific changes are shown in the table

2. The construction content was reduced during the detailed design phase.

As can be seen from the table above, the length of the new sewage pipelines, stormwater

pipelines and stormwater open canals planned at the feasibility study stage has been

greatly reduced by 11, 0.4, and 1.51 km, respectively. This is mainly because some of the

pipeline construction has been completed with the counterpart funds along with the

construction of the urban roads or flood control works of other projects. At the same time,

at the detailed design stage, the length of the pipeline is designed according to the actual

survey data, and the estimated value of the feasibility stage is modified. The resettlement

due diligence has been carried out for 4 sewage pipelines and 1 stormwater pipeline built

with counterpart funds in the above table. See Annex 1: Resettlement Due Diligence

Report for details.

D. Impacts of land acquisition and house demolition

1. Comparison of impact scope

According to the draft Resettlement Plan, the impact of resettlement from the

sewer/stormwater network and the stormwater canal included temporary land acquisition

from the sewer/stormwater network and permanent land acquisition from the stormwater

canals but does not involve house demolition. The sewer/stormwater network will be piped

4

along the side of existing roads and will be excavated and restored on state-owned road

construction area. Therefore, the temporary land occupation does not involve collective

lands and will not affect any individual households. The restoration of the temporary land

shall be the responsibility of the civil works contractor, and the costs are included in the civil

works contract. The civil works contractors are responsible for road restoration when the

sewer/stormwater pipes are installed.

For the stormwater open channel construction, only the new extension section of the

Lengjiagou Upper Extension Canal will be constructed on rural collective land and involve

permanent land acquisition, but not involve contracted farmland. At the same time, some

collective land will be occupied temporarily.

According to detailed design and resettlement detailed measurement survey, the contract

will occupy 176.99 mu land temporarily, including 5.86 mu collective-owned land and

171.13 mu state-owned land; and acquire 6.07 mu collective land permanently. The

impacts have been reduced from 240 mu temporary land occupation and 18 mu land

acquisition in the RP respectively. In addition, 1066.42 m2 of residential houses will be

demolished with 9 households and 39 people affected, which are newly added compared

with the RP.

The changes of permanent and temporary land acquisition in the Resettlement Plan and

the detailed design are shown in the table below:

2. Impact scope after detailed survey

Based on the detailed design and survey, the new sewer/stormwater pipeline network does

not involve permanent land acquisition and house demolition, but only temporary

occupation of state-owned road land, so no residents will be affected. The open channels

under this contract involve the dredging of the channels of the 6 existing channels and the

reconstruction or reinforcement of the retaining walls on both sides, but do not involve

permanent land acquisition, house demolition and temporary land occupation. However,

the existing Lengjiagou Open Channel will be extended to the south as the new section of

the open channel, which means the existing open channel will be extended to the south for

558m with width of 7 to 11 m. Thus, the extension of Lengjiagou Open Channel requires (i)

permanent land acquisition of 6.07 mu of collective land (including the water surface) of

No.1 Group of Changzheng, Hongtai Village of Hongxing Township in Jiguan District, which

are all natural river ditch. The collective land acquisition does not involve the use of

residents’ farmland, (ii) 1066.42 m2 of house demolition of residential houses adjacent to

the ditch, affecting 9 households, 39 people, including 19 women, but no low-income

households are affected. (iii) The road access for the construction will require the temporary

occupation of 5.86 mu of collective land along the ditch, but does not involve the residents’

cultivated land, so no residents will be affected by the temporary land occupation.

No.1 Group of Changzheng, Hongtai Village of Hongxing Township in Jiguan District is

close to urban area of the city. The existing residents include not only farmers, but also

11

workers or retirees who used to work in the city. Workers or retirees working in cities have

a fixed salary income, and some have housing in cities. For residents who are still farmers

now, most of the family labours are working in the city, especially the young people. After

marriage, most of them live independently, and buy houses in the city and have left the

land and current rural houses.

Among the nine households affected by this contract, one is a retired worker with a fixed

pension. In addition to this residence, the other members of the family who work as laborers

in urban areas have another house in the Jixi urban area.

E. Compensation standards

The compensation standard for permanent land acquisition and crops involved in

accordance with the standard in Resettlement Plan (2017) for Hongxing Township and

Xijiao Township in Jiguan District is: permanent land acquisition compensation is

CNY36,666.85/mu; young crop compensation: CNY2,200 /mu. The temporary acquisition

of road construction site involved in this contract and the road restoration costs are still in

line with the standard in the Resettlement Plan, which is CNY12,666.7/mu. There is no

house demolition involved in this contract, so there is no compensation standard for house

demolition set in the RP of 2017.

According to the document of Jixi Municipal People's Government (Ji Zheng Gui [2020] No.

7), from October 1, 2020, the new comprehensive land price for the land acquired in Jixi

City will be implemented, that is, the compensation standard for the permanent land

acquisition under this contract (Hongxing Township, Xijiao Township, Jiguan District) is

CNY68/m2 (or CNY45,333.56/mu), which is higher than that in RP of 2017. For temporary

land occupation of road construction, the road recovery cost is CNY12,666.7/mu. The

compensation standard for the temporary occupation of collective land is CNY6.8/m2 or

CNY4,533.36/mu per year, and it is planned to occupy for 2 years; The housing price of

residents shall be determined by an assessment agency according to the market price to

determine the compensation amount. The compensation standards for house demolition

are: CNY2,080 /m2 for brick and concrete structure, CNY1,980 /m2 for brick and wood

structure and CNY1,880/m2 for civil structure based on current local market evaluation. At

present, the price of second-hand houses in the project area is CNY1,900-2,200/m2. With

the evaluation standards, the residential house with the same structure can be bought at

similar area in the market. The houses of 9 households affected by the demolition are all

licensed houses.

12

For the licensed houses within the demolition scope, in addition to the compensation for

house demolition according to the market evaluation results of different house structures,

Jixi Municipal Government (JMG) also provides corresponding subsidies.

For the affected households (AHs) who choose to purchase apartment in the urban area of

Jixi City in the online transaction platform developed by the government within 3.5 months

of signing agreement, the government will give subsidies according to the actual

transaction area but not more than the original licensed house area (i)If AHs choose to

purchase multi-storey apartment for resettlement, the subsidy is CNY1,000/m2; (ii) if AHs

choose to purchase high-rise apartment for resettlement, the subsidy is CNY1,500/m2.

Based on site visits and consultations it is confirmed that, multi-storey apartments and high-

rise apartments are available in urban area of Jixi City that can be chosen by affected

households in light of their willingness. Consultations with the affected persons and

government agencies confirmed that the various localities in Jixi urban area are supported

with complete public facilities and services, including nursery, supermarket, clinic and

public transportation.

For AHs who choose monetary resettlement, if they complete the relocation within 3.5

months, they can receive a reward of CNY700/m2 in terms of original licensed house area

that is to be demolished.

In addition, each AH is entitled to receive a moving fee of CNY1,000 per household, which

is enough to cover all the moving expenses of one household in Jixi City.

F. Resettlement of households affected by house demolition

The new extension section of the Lengjiagou Upper Extension Canal in this contract needs

permanent acquisition and temporary occupation of collective land in Hongtai village of

Hongxing Township but does not involve affected households and people directly;

meanwhile, it needs to demolish houses of 9 households in No.1 Group of Changzheng,

Hongtai Village of Hongxing Township in Jiguan District, affecting 39 people.

The project IA is responsible for the permanent land acquisition and temporary land

occupation of the contract, including informing the project content and implementation plan,

negotiating compensation standards, paying compensations, monitoring and reporting.

However, the demolition of residential houses involved in this contract has been listed in

the "Notice on Issuing the Second Batch of Urban Shanty Area Renovation Project Plan in

2020" [Hei Peng Gai [2020] No. 7] issued by the Heilongjiang Province Non-coal Urban

Shanty Renovation Promotion Office (see Annex 2), and JMG is responsible for the house

demolition, compensation payment and resettlement.

13

1. Resettlement willingness

The permanent land acquisition and temporary land occupation in this contract belong to

collective land and do not involve the contracted farmland of farmers. Therefore, the

compensation for permanent land acquisition and temporary land occupation will be paid

directly to the village collective, and the use of the compensation will be decided by the

villagers' congress.

According to the "Notice on Issuing the Second Batch of Urban Shanty Area Renovation

Project Plan in 2020" [Hei Peng Gai [2020] No. 7] issued by the Heilongjiang Provincial

Non-coal Urban Shanty Renovation Promotion Office, there are two resettlement options

for house demolition related to this contract: monetary resettlement and purchasing

housing from the open market for resettlement.

After full consultation with the affected households, among the 9 AHs, 3 households have

chosen monetary resettlement and 6 households have chosen to purchase housing from

the open market for resettlement. The specific resettlement willingness is as follows:

G. Information disclosure and Public Participation

The land acquisition and house demolition implementation agency of this contract is the

Jiguan District Government (JDG) of Jixi City. The land acquisition and resettlement and

compensation involved in the contract will be implemented by JDG. The land acquisition

and house demolition department of the JDG has initiated consultations with the village

committee and representatives of AHs in October 2020 to inform the project construction

content, land acquisition and demolition compensation standards, land acquisition and

demolition implementation plan, resettlement measures for AHs, and conducted on-site

surveys and inspections.

The construction of open channels will greatly improve the sanitary and ecological

environment of the existing ditch, benefit the health of residents, and improve the living

environment. At the same time, it can also resist greater flood disasters. They all believe

that the construction of open channels can greatly benefit them.

Since the construction of open channels will widen the current ditch, it is necessary to

expropriate the collective river embankment land on both sides of the ditch. Because the

land of river courses and embankments is collectively owned and does not involve

contracted farmland, it has no impact on personal livelihoods. The village committee stated

that the compensation for land acquisition will be used to improve the sanitation

environment in rural areas and help low-income families solve their difficulties in life.

For households affected by the house demolition, they were concerned about whether the

compensation is enough to buy house or apartment in the local area after receiving the

house compensation. When they learnt that they can not only receive compensation for

house demolition according to the market price as determined by a real estate appraisal

agency, but also receive rewards or subsidies for relocation, they were all satisfied,

because it is enough for them to buy apartment.

16

The AHs have been informed about the grievance redress mechanism (GRM) of this project

(see Jixi Resettlement Plan of 2017). The land acquisition and demolition department of

JDG stated that it will promptly accept the problems and appeals raised by the AHs and

solve their problems in a timely manner.

In the event of any restrictions due to COVID-19 outbreak or other unforeseeable

phenomena during further consultations and negotiations with the AHs, virtual meetings

(videoconference, telephone calls, wechat) will be carried out. The PMO and concerned

agencies will strictly adhere to social distancing, wear protective masks/equipment during

in-person meetings in line with government protocols and guidelines.

H. Budget

In the Resettlement Plan, the resettlement budget for the Jixi Urban Drainage Infrastructure

Construction project is CNY6,952,200, including CNY855,900 for permanent land

acquisition and CNY4,657,200 for road restoration. Since this subproject includes 4 civil

construction contracts, the Resettlement Plan of 2017 does not provide the resettlement

costs involved in this contract.

According to the document of Jixi Municipal People's Government (Ji Zheng Gui [2020] No.

7), from October 1, 2020, the new comprehensive land price for the land acquired in Jixi

City is implemented. After the detailed design and survey, the area of permanent land

acquisition for the stormwater open channels have been changed, the corresponding

compensation costs for the land acquisition and young crops have been changed

accordingly. At the same time, the compensation for temporary land occupied by

sewage/stormwater pipe network, which is the road restoration cost, has been changed as

some of the pipelines have been completed with the counterpart funds. In addition, due to

the house demolition involved, the compensation for the house demolition is added, as

shown in the following table:

Annex 1: Resettlement Due Diligence Report

Resettlement Due Diligence Report

On

sewage/stormwater pipe network constructed

21

1. Introduction

The Resettlement Plan of 2017 confirmed that the total length of new sewage/stormwater

pipe network is 39.5km, and the total length of new open channels is 10.1km. Because the

new sewage/stormwater pipe network is laid in one side of the existing road, only the

temporary occupation of state-owned road land with a total of 240 mu is involved, and the

occupation of collective land is not involved.

From April 2017 to May 2020, Jiguan district government of Jixi City built sewage pipelines

and stormwater pipelines with a total length of 12.8 km by domestic counterpart funds. The

installation of pipes only involved the temporary occupation of state-owned construction

land of 91.5 mu, without persons affected directly.

According to the safeguard policies of ADB, a resettlement due diligence report (DDR) was

required on the project that has been completed with counterpart funds but is still included

in the ADB project. The purpose of this DDR is to verify whether the project meet the

requirements of involuntary resettlement in the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009).

2. Construction site and land use

The sewage pipelines and stormwater pipelines are located in Jiguan District of Jixi City.

The sewage pipelines consist of New Dark Pipes, Nanxing Street, Kuangling River Upper

Extension and Foundry Bridge Upstream, and the stormwater pipeline is Nanxing Street

stormwater pipeline. See Table 1 for the length, starting point and ending point of each

pipeline, as well as the temporary occupation area.

3. Impact of resettlement

The construction of the sewer/stormwater pipes only involved the temporary occupation of

state-owned urban construction land and didn’t involve the rural collective land and the

demolition of any buildings and ground attachments. No person was affected directly. The

land condition of the construction site before construction is shown in Table 2.

4. Construction reasons and construction time

23

The reasons for the construction of the pipelines in advance are as follows: first, to

cooperate with the construction of residential areas, sewage collection pipelines need to

be equipped in time to ensure the normal life of residential areas; second, the government

has obtained the national special construction funds, which need to be used within the

planned time, and cannot wait for the contract procurement of ADB projects. The specific

reasons and construction time of the pipelines are shown in Table 3.

(road surface)

The contractors were responsible for the earthwork backfill and ground (road) surface

restoration after laying the pipeline, and the cost was also included in the contractor's civil

engineering contracts. The 3 sewage pipelines (New Dark Pipes, Nanxing Street,

24

Kuangling River Upper Extension, Foundry Bridge Upstream) were constructed

underground for urban construction which didn’t affected urban roads. All sites were

compacted after earthwork backfilling. Nanxing Street sewage / stormwater pipeline was

laid under the existing urban road, which involved the restoration of road surface. The

construction had been completed in May 2020, and the road surface of Nanxing Street was

restored at the same time.

5. Conclusion

The sewage pipelines and stormwater pipeline involved in the project had been constructed

from April 2017 to May 2020. The construction of the pipelines only involved the temporary

occupation of state-owned urban construction land, and no person was affected directly.

The road surface of urban roads involved in the project construction had been restored. Up

to date, there was no residual problem of resettlement.
