Since land ownership treatment demonstration project will remain unchanged, no involuntary resettlement will be involved. Longquan back alley Occupying 0.89 mu of state-owned land permanently and 82.52 mu of L6 improvement project state-owned construction land temporarily 1.1.5 Identification of Related Projects The Longquan PMO and implementing agency (IA) has identified the projects related to the Subproject in accordance with Article 4 of the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement3. A related project refers to a project that is directly associated with the Subproject in function or benefit, where compensation and resettlement was completed in the past two years (i.e., after April 30, 2011). At the design stage, the owners attached great importance to the identification of related projects. According to the Feasibility Study Report of the Subproject, the Xibei WWTP and Gaotang Landfill have been identified as related projects. The resettlement work of these related projects had been completed by 2011 (see Appendix 2). 1.2 Estimated Investment in Resettlement and Implementation Schedule Based on prices in 2014, the total resettlement costs of the Subproject are 1.685 million yuan, including LA and land occupation costs, taxes, contingencies, etc., accounting for 0.4% of the budget of the Subproject, all from domestic counterpart funds. The Subproject will be conducted for an overall construction period of 5.5 years. It will break ground in the second half of 2014 and be completed in 2020. Consistent with the construction 3 This policy applies to all components resulting in involuntary resettlement, regardless of funding source. It also applies to other activities resulting in involuntary resettlement, which are judged by the Bank to be: (a) directly and materially associated with the Subproject; (b) essential to the fulfillment of the objectives of the Subproject; and (c) implemented or planned to be implemented in step with the Subproject. 3 period of the Subproject, resettlement will begin in June 2014. 1.3 Benefit Analysis 1.3.1 Social Benefits 1. Collecting and treating urban and rural domestic wastewater, reducing pollutant emissions, and improving the water and environmental quality; 2. Improving the local urban and rural infrastructure, promoting economic development, and improving people’s living standard through the construction of waterworks, WWTPs, and water supply and sewer lines; and 3. Promoting investment and generating a large number of jobs, thereby solving the employment problem of local residents and attracting more outstanding talent to contribute to local development. 1.3.2 Economic Benefits The Subproject has the following economic benefits: 1. Laying a solid foundation for the city’s development and promote investment; 2. Utilizing loans from the Bank and domestic banks to alleviate local fiscal pressure; and 3. Increasing the fixed asset investment of Longquan City. 4 2 Impacts of the Subproject 2.1 Measures to Reduce Resettlement 2.1.1 Principles for Design and Site Selection Resettlement impacts have been minimized at the design stage on the following principles: avoiding or minimizing occupation of existing and planned residential areas; avoiding or minimizing occupation of high-quality farmland; gaining access to the proposed construction sites through existing state and local roads; avoiding or minimizing occupation of environmentally sensitive areas; and Selecting resettlement sites in compliance with the local development plan. The sewer network was routed on the following principles: 1. The impact on agricultural income should be minimized, and existing roadside green belts and unused land utilized where possible; 2. If the temporary occupation of farmland is inevitable, construction should be conducted after harvest or before sowing, and affected households (AHs) notified in advance; and 3. Since the subproject area is located in the subtropical zone with a high precipitation in summer, pavement excavation should be avoided in the rainy season where possible. 2.1.2 Comparison of Options At the planning and design stages, the design agency and owners of the Subproject took the following effective measures to reduce the local socioeconomic impacts of the Subproject: 1. At the planning stage, the local socioeconomic impacts of the Subproject were taken as a key factor for option optimization and comparison. 2. At the RAP preparation and implementation stage, when LA or HD is unavoidable, the following measures will be taken to reduce the local impacts of the Subproject: Strengthen the collection of basic information, make an in-depth analysis of the local present socioeconomic situation and future prospect, and develop a feasible RAP based on the local practical conditions to ensure that the APs will not suffer losses due to the Subproject. Encourage public participation actively and accept public supervision. Strengthen internal and external monitoring, establish an efficient and unobstructed feedback mechanism and channel, and shorten the information processing cycle to ensure that issues arising from project implementation are solved timely.

See Table 2-3. In addition, 6.86 mu of unused land in Hecun, Xiaohuangnan, Songqu, Shuita, Dazhai and Jibian and Shangwu will be occupied for the Longquan first batch decentralized wastewater treatment demonstration project. 2.4.2 Impact Analysis 3.56 mu of collective cultivated land in Group 5 of Village 4 of Badu Town and Group 1 of Village 4 of Xiaomei Town will be acquired for the Subproject, affecting 8 households with 28 persons directly. According to the socioeconomic survey, a comparative analysis has been made on the cultivated areas of the affected village groups before and after LA. The two affected village groups have 243.6 mu of cultivated land, in which 3.56 mu will be acquired for the Subproject, with an overall land loss rate of 1.46%; while their land loss rates are 3.55% and 0.48%, and their income loss rates 8.08% and 4.02% respectively. See Table 2-4. The land and income loss rates of the 8 AHs in both groups are less than 10%, and none of them will have a per capita cultivated area of less than 0.3 mu. See Table 2-5. It can be seen that LA will have little impact on the affected village groups. In these groups, household income is from fungus cultivation and local employment mainly, and the percentage of agricultural income is very low. 7 Table 2-3 Permanently Acquired Collective Land Acquired land area (mu) Affected No. Component Subcomponent Township Village Group Non-irrigated Irrigated Construction Total Remarks Woodland HHs Population land land land Collective Longquan county town water and Jianchi L1 Nanqin / 0 0 10 0 10 0 0 owned wastewater improvement project Sub-district (non-contracted) Collective Longquan Xiaomei Xiaomei Town Village 3 1 0 0 2.7 0 2.7 0 0 owned L2 town water and Xiaomei Town subcomponent (non-contracted) wastewater project Village 4 1 0 0.79 0 0 0.79 4 14 / Longquan Anren town water and L3 Anren Town Xiangbian 2 0 0 1.96 0 1.96 4 15 / wastewater project Longquan Badu town water and Zhuyang Xiang Jintain 8 0 0 2.02 0 2.02 3 12 / L4 wastewater project Badu Town Village 4 5 0 2.77 0 0 2.77 4 14 / Total 0 3.56 16.68 0 20.24 15 55 / Table 2-4 Impacts of Permanent Acquisition of Collective Land Before LA After LA LA impacts Income loss (yuan) Per households (%) Cultivated area Percent population (%) cultivated area Percentage of Percentage of capita Population Per capita Land to per cultivated Average Per Component Township Village Group (mu) (mu) loss Annual capita HHs Cultivated AHs APs area 7 loss per capita area (mu) rate loss net after LA 6 household loss (%) income (mu) 8 (%) 5 4 Longquan Badu Badu Village town water and 5 34 118 78 0.66 4 16 2.77 0.83 11.76% 13.56% 3.55% 15512 3878 969.5 8.08% Town 4 wastewater project Longquan Xiaomei Xiaomei Village town water and 1 62 207 165.6 0.8 3 11 0.79 0.79 4.84% 5.31% 0.48% 4424 1474.67 402.18 4.02% Town 4 wastewater project 4 Percentage of households = number of households affected by LA / number of households 5 Percentage of population = population affected by LA / population 6 Land loss rate = acquired cultivated area / cultivated area 7 Annual loss = acquired land area * output value per mu 8 Percent to per capita net income =per capita loss / per capita annual net income (12,000 yuan in Village 4 of Badu Town; 10,000 yuan in Village 4 of Xiaomei Town) 8 Table 2-5 Land and Income Loss Rates of AHs Land loss rate Income loss rate Total Total <10% 11-50% 50-100% <10% 11-50% 50-100% Population Population Population Population Population Population Population Population Component Township Village Group HHs HHs HHs HHs HHs HHs HHs HHs Longquan Badu town water and Badu Village 5 4 14 0 0 0 0 4 14 4 14 0 0 0 0 4 14 wastewater project Town 4 Longquan Xiaomei town water and Xiaomei Village 1 4 14 0 0 0 0 4 14 4 14 0 0 0 0 4 14 wastewater project Town 4 Total 8 28 0 0 0 0 8 28 8 28 0 0 0 0 8 28 Percent 100% 100% / / / / / / 100% 100% / / / / / / 9 2.5 Permanent Occupation of State-owned Land 2.89 mu of state-owned land will be occupied for Longquan back alley improvement project, and Anren Town Water Supply and Drainage Facility Improvement.

The Ministry of Land and Resources and the Gansu Provincial Government have promulgated policies and regulations on this basis. The Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28) promulgated in October 2004 defines the principles and rates of compensation and resettlement for LA, and LA procedures and monitoring system. These legal documents constitute the legal basis for resettlement in the Subproject together with the Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition (MLR [2004] No.238). 4.2.1 Land Administration Law of the PRC In acquiring land, compensation should be made according to the original purposes of the land acquired. The land compensation fees shall be 6-10 times the average output value of the three years preceding the acquisition of the cultivated land. The resettlement fee shall be calculated according to the number of agricultural population to be resettled. The number of agricultural population to be resettled shall be calculated by dividing the amount of cultivated land acquired by the per capital land occupied of the unit whose land is acquired. The resettlement fees for each 16 agricultural person to be resettled shall be 4-6 times the average annual output value of the three years preceding the acquisition of the cultivated land. But the maximum resettlement fee per hectare of land acquired shall not exceed 15 times of the average annual output value of the three years prior to the acquisition. The standards for land compensation and resettlement fees for land acquired shall be determined by various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in reference to the land compensation fees and resettlement fees for cultivated land acquired. In acquiring vegetable fields in suburban areas, the units using the land should pay new vegetable field development and construction fund. Whereas the land compensation fees and resettlement fees paid according to the provisions of the second paragraph of this article are not enough to maintain the original level of living, the resettlement fees may be increased with the approval of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. But the combined total of land compensation fees and resettlement fees shall not exceed 30 times the average output value of the three years prior to the acquisition. In special circumstances, the State Council may raise the standards for land compensation and resettlement fees for land acquired according to the social and economic development level. (Article 47) In the case of temporary using State-owned land or land owned by farmer collectives by construction projects or geological survey teams, approval should be obtained from the land administrative departments of local governments at and above the county level. Whereas the land to be temporarily used is within the urban planned areas, the consent of the urban planning departments should be obtained before being submitted for approval. Land users should sign contracts for temporary use of land with related land administrative departments or rural collective organizations or villagers committees depending on the ownership of the land and pay land compensation fees for the temporary use of the land according to the standard specified in the contracts. (Article 57) 4.2.2 Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition Fixation of uniform annual output value multiples. The uniform multiple of annual output value for land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy shall be fixed within the statutory range so that land-expropriated farmers’ standard of living is not reduced; if compensation fees for land acquisition calculated from the statutory uniform multiple of annual output value are insufficient for land-expropriated farmers to maintain their former standard of living or insufficient to cover their social security costs, the multiple shall be increased appropriately with the approval of the province-level government; if an aggregate multiple of 30 for land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy is still insufficient for land-expropriated farmers to maintain their former standard of living, the local government shall allocate a certain proportion from the income from the compensated use of state-owned land for subsidization. For basic farmland occupied with lawful approval, the highest compensation rate announced by the local government shall apply. Fixation of composite land prices for land acquisition areas. Where conditions permit, the province-level land and resources authority may fix composite land prices for land acquisition for different counties and cities in the province together with other competent authorities, and report such prices to the province-level government for approval, disclosure and implementation. Such prices shall be fixed in consideration of land type, output value, geographic location, farmland rating, per capita arable area, land supply-demand relationship, local economic level and minimum living security level of urban residents, etc. Agricultural resettlement. When rural collective land out of urban planning areas is acquired, land-expropriated farmers shall be first provided with necessary arable land using mobile collective land, contracted land turned over by contractors and arable land arising from land development so that they continue to pursue agricultural production. Reemployment resettlement. Conditions shall be created actively to provide free labor skills training to land-expropriated farmers and place them to corresponding jobs. Under equal conditions, land users shall first employ land-expropriated farmers. When rural collective land within urban planning areas is acquired, land-expropriated farmers shall be included in the urban employment system and a social security system established for them. Dividend distribution resettlement. When any land with long-term stable income is to be used for a project, the affected rural collective economic organization may become a project shareholder 17 with compensation fees for land acquisition or rights to use construction land in consultation with the land user. The rural collective economic organization and rural households will receive dividends as agreed. Non-local resettlement. If basic production and living conditions are not available locally to land-expropriated farmers, non-local resettlement may be practiced under the leadership of the government in consultation with the rural collective economic organization and rural households. 4.2.3 Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement 10. The implementation of resettlement activities is linked to the implementation of the investment component of the project to ensure that displacement or restriction of access does not occur before necessary measures for resettlement are in place. For impacts covered in para. 3(a) of this policy, these measures include provision of compensation and of other assistance required for relocation, prior to displacement, and preparation and provision of resettlement sites with adequate facilities, where required. In particular, taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has been paid and, where applicable, resettlement sites and moving allowances have been provided to the displaced persons. For impacts covered in para. 3(b) of this policy, the measures to assist the displaced persons are implemented in accordance with the plan of action as part of the project. 15. Criteria 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. 4.3 Resettlement Policies of the Subproject 4.3.1 Collective land 1. Compensation policy 1) Compensation for permanent LA includes land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies, and compensation fees for young crops and ground attachments. Acquired land should be compensated for based on its former use and for young crops attached thereto. 2) Compensation rates for acquired cultivated land will be based on location-based composite land prices for LA of Longquan City (i.e., land compensation and resettlement subsidy). 3) Ground attachments and young crops will be compensated for through appraisal. 2. Resettlement policy The main resettlement modes of the Subproject include cash compensation, endowment insurance and employment. 1) LA compensation fees will be fully paid to the AHs, which may cover endowment insurance for LEFs or other types of social security (e.g., rural social endowment insurance). Compensation fees for young crops and ground attachments will be paid to their proprietors. 2) The government will establish a sound labor service system to provide employment assistance to the APs, such as opening the labor market for free and offering skills training. 4.3.2 State-owned land The state-owned occupied for the Subproject will be compensated for in accordance with the Rural Benchmark Land Prices of Longquan City in 2008 (Table 4-2). 4.3.3 Temporary Land Occupation In the Subproject, compensation for temporary land occupation includes compensation fees for ground attachments and young crops, and land reclamation costs, where compensation fees for ground attachments and young crops will be paid to their proprietors, and land reclamation costs 18 used for land restoration and field facility construction. Compensation for the temporarily occupied farmland (cultivated land and woodland) includes compensation fees for land, ground attachments and young crops. The temporarily occupied collective construction land will not be compensated for. 4.3.4 Policy for Affected Ground Attachments and Infrastructure The affected ground attachments will be compensated for at full replacement cost, and reconstructed by their proprietors. 4.4 Compensation Rates 4.4.1 Acquisition of Collective Land According to the Notice on Re-promulgating the Location-based Composite Land Prices for Land Acquisition of Longquan City (LMG [2012] No.36), location-based composite land prices consist of land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies, and compensation fees for young crops and ground attachments.

Some principles for resettlement and restoration have been developed according to the above objectives: 1. The willingness of the APs should be respected, and their existing production and living traditions maintained; 2. Resettlement restoration programs should be tailored to impacts of LA and HD, and based on compensation rates for LA and HD; 3. Resettlement restoration programs should be combined with group construction, resources development, economic development and environmental protection programs so as to ensure the sustainable development of the affected village groups and persons; and 4. The standard of living of vulnerable groups adversely affected by the Project should be improved. 5.2 Restoration Program for Acquired Collective Land 5.2.1 Summary of Resettlement Programs According to the analysis in Section 2.4.2, the overall land loss rate of the 4 affected village groups is 0.98%, and their land loss rates are all below 5%, ranging from 3.6% (Group 2 of Village 1 of Badu Town) to 0.35% (Group 3 of Shuita Village, Zhulong Town). Per capita income loss rate accounts for 3.47%-5.94% of gross income. The resettlement program for permanent LA has been developed through consultation, and includes such measures as cash compensation, skills training and social security. 5.2.2 Cash Compensation Almost all AHs support the Subproject and expect cash compensation. Compensation fees will be calculated in strict conformity with the applicable state and local policies, and paid to the AHs fully and timely for agricultural or nonagricultural income-generating activities. Based on the prevailing 3-year fixed deposit rate of 4.75% in December 2013, and the compensation rate for collective farmland of 40,000 yuan/mu in Type III areas, annual interest income will be 1,900 yuan/mu (40,000*4.75%), which is greater than the annual net income of farmland of 1,800 yuan/mu. Therefore, the compensation rates under the Subproject can make up the lost income of the AHs. 5.2.3 Skills Training and Employment Promotion In order to protect the APs’ rights and interests, and promote their livelihood restoration sustainably, the owners have strengthened skills training and employment promotion for the APs in conjunction with other departments concerned. Based on local industry mix and market demand, it is planned to give agricultural skills training with focus on tealeaf and edible fungus cultivation to old farmers, and nonagricultural skills training with focus on services, metallurgy and casting to young farmers to meet their employment needs. It is learned that agricultural and nonagricultural skills training is available locally, as detailed in Table 5-1.

Basic endowment insurance for LEFs Eligibility: LEFs with remaining per capita cultivated area of less than 0.2 mu and having attained 16 years None of the APs is eligible. 2. Endowment insurance for urban and rural residents According to the Implementation Rules of Longquan City for Social Endowment Insurance for Urban and Rural Residents (LMG [2010] No.44): 1. Eligibility: registered population in Longquan City, having attained 16 years, other than workers of government agencies, public institutions and social organizations 2. Contribution levels: The insured may select contribution levels and pay premiums annually with government subsidies. Currently, there are 7 contribution levels, namely 100 yuan, 200 yuan, 300 yuan, 400 yuan, 500 yuan, 700 yuan and 900 yuan, where the government grants a subsidy of 30 yuan for the first 6 levels and 40 yuan for the last level annually. 3) Benefit: The insured will receive a pension monthly when attaining 60 years. Benefit consists of a basic pension (80 yuan per capita per month) and an individual account pension (balance of the individual account divided by 139). All the APs having attained 16 years have covered endowment insurance for urban and rural residents. 5.3 Restoration Program for Temporary Land Occupation 207.26 mu of land will be occupied temporarily for the Subproject, including 11.9 mu of collective cultivated land, 10.49 mu of woodland, 77.43 mu of collective construction land and 107.44 mu of state-owned land, affecting 42 households with 146 persons. In general, the temporary occupation of collective construction land and state-owned land will not result in any property loss. The Longquan PMO and owner will restore the occupied land timely, and costs so incurred will be included in the budget of the Subproject. The temporarily occupied collective cultivated land and woodland will be restored by the construction agency, and compensation will be paid to the affected proprietors. 5.4 Restoration Program for Infrastructure and Ground Attachments All public facilities affected by the Subproject will be relocated or restored by proprietors. Restoration measures for affected traffic infrastructure must be planned and arranged in advance and suited to local conditions, so that such measures are safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and their adverse impact on nearby residents is minimized. 22 6 Organizational Structure for Resettlement 6.1 Resettlement Agencies 6.1.1 Organizational Setup Since October 2012, the resettlement agencies of the Subproject have been established gradually, and their responsibilities defined. 1.
