connect Yunji and upstream port of Hengyang City. Transportation from Yunji to this port is
very convenient.Therefore, through comprehensive consideration on economic, social and
environmental benefits,construction of this terminal is suspended.
2.3.2 Resettlement area and house site
The houses are resettled in scattering and backward arrangement, the relocatee could
select the new house construction location by themselves, land occupation for per capita
house site is based on 130m2/household.
As the reconstruction area depends on the existing infrastructure and public service
system, the rural road and electrical network are complete, the flood affected infrastructure is
planned to be reconstructed, and the relocated houses are arranged at the place with
convenient conditions for traffic, water supply, and power supply. Scattering water supply is
adopted, the traffic and power supply only require a little supporting cost.
According to investigation, the resettlement area is mainly distributed with cultivated
land, the infrastructure subsidy standard of each household is: house site acquisition at dam
area is RMB40,029Yuan/mu, acquisition at reservoir area is RMB35,943Yuan/mu in Hengnan
County, RMB33,888Yuan/mu in Changning County, RMB35,974Yuan/mu in Leiyang City;
land leveling subsidy is based on RMB3,000Yuan/person, water & power supply is
RMB400Yuan/household.
Infrastructure compensation for house removal at reservoir area is RMB1.0128million
Yuan, including RMB73 thousand Yuan for Hengnan County, RMB126.9 thousand Yuan for
Changning City, RMB 812.9 thousand Yuan for Leiyang City. Infrastructure compensation for
house removal at dam area is RMB395.7 thousand Yuan
During site interview by the M&E personnel, the relocated residents reflect they are
17
satisfied with the mode that select the house site by themselves and make the land using
procedure by county resettlement administrative agency. As the resettlement is arranged
within the village group, there is no objection among the public. Some residents chose the
method of independent resettlement by purchasing new houses in other places(details as in
followed Table).

Note 2: Demolition and resettlement of the 7 households in terminal area have all be completed. Of which, six households have more than one houses(need no more house), and one household bought new house.
2.3.3 Transitional Period
Households during transitional period planned house remove at the dam area is19
households of 78 persons; actual removal is 23 households of 90 persons. Planned house
remove at the reservoir area is 40 households of 203 persons: Songjiang Town, Hengnan
County removes 3 households of 17 people, Yanzhou Town, Changning City removes 7
households of 26 people, Leiyang City removes 30 households of 160 people; the actual
reservoir area removes 38 households of 187 people: thereof Songjiang County, Hengnan
removes 7 households of 25 persons, Yanzhou Town, Changning city removes 7 households
18
of 36 persons. 24 households of 126 persons’ removal at Leiyang City (excl.7 households of
41 persons who are changed from relocation scheme to protective scheme).The later
investigation and check found another 7 households were included in the house removal,
therefore, the quantity of relocatees increased from 119 in last period to 126 in this period.
After alteration, Songbai kiloton terminal needs to relocate rural population of 7 households
of 33 persons, and has actual relocation population of 7 households of 3 persons. The above
mentioned population is considered during transitional period.
Transition Duration is considered to be 1 year.
Living subsidy during transitional period: The living subsidy standard during
transitional period is planned to be RMB1000Yuan/Person. In Hengnan County, it considered
to keep the same compensation standard with that of other house removal for key projects,
therefore, the compensation standard is adjusted based on house removal of RMB48Yuan/m2.
In Changning and Leiyang City, the compensation is based on the planned standard.
Evaluation of transitional period: According to the relocated residents' reflection, as the
houses are built very fast, the living subsidy during transitional period is sufficient enough,
even leave surplus. All the relocatees are satisfied.
2.3.4 Evaluation of House Removal
Progress: house removal at dam area completed as schedule (refer to Annex Table 2),
which assure the smooth progress of Tugutang Complex. In reservoir area, there are 7

5) Construction Area of New Water Source
This project investment is not incorporated in the Resettlement Plan Report, which is
entrusted to Hengnan County Tugutang Construction Coordination Headquarter by Hunan
Water Transport construction and Investment Group Ltd ( HPWTCIG ) for direct
implementation.
By end of the third M&E period(end of December of 2014), it has completed the

contracted to the local villagers, with service fee 600 thousand Yuan, resolve the employment
of more than 30 local elderly people and women. Fourthly, the reservoir area involves in 252
special facilities, such as bank protection, culvert gate, reclamation, road, and bridge, with
total investment of 280 million Yuan. During the construction period, more than 4000 local
villagers are employed; achieve complete coverage of the workforce. The production
technology training is also in progress, besides, the government will provide 600Yuan to each
affected relocatee as follow-up support funds (provide for 20 years, used for direct economic
compensation for project development).
Therefore, this evaluation shows that after built of dam area, reservoir area, and Songbai
kiloton terminal area, the living standard of affected people are not lower down compared
with the period before land acquisition, on contrary, it is constantly improving.
4.3 Evaluation of Recovery Conditions of Living Standard of Relocatees According to the sample survey on relocatees in Hengnan, Changning and Leiyang, the
resettlers responded positively to Development Concepts of Innovation, Coordination, Green,
Openness and Sharing, as well as the rural vitalization;rural revitalization strategy of the
Central Government.Through methods of land transfer, migrant working, entrepreneurship,
urban business,rural tourism, their economic income has been greatly improved. Based on the
sample survey on production and living conditions in resettlement villages, the 2012 annual
per capita net income of the resettlers is 15,400 Yuan. Up to now, the annual per capita net
incomes in Hengnan, Changning and Leiyang are respectively 24,960 Yuan, 25,600 Yuan and
26,780 Yuan(refer to Annex Table 6-8). Annual increment in this three counties (cities) is
39.8%, the growth range is higher than the province's and city's per capita level. Every
household has purchased refrigerator, color TV, washing machine, part of the families has
bought agricultural machinery and equipment.
The monitoring shows that implementation of the Project has improved living quality of
40
the resettlers in general, the ecological environment has been improved overall, and the
economic incomes have been greatly increased.This evaluation believe that the government's
protection policies for resettler's rights and interests are relatively perfect. It suggests to
further strengthen the training on aquaculture industry, tea-oil tree planting and special
agriculture, so as to lay a solid foundation for promoting economic income by making use of
reservoir to develop breeding industry and special agriculture in the later period.
5 Alteration of Access Road at Songbai Kiloton Terminal and Execution
Songbai Kiloton Terminal is located in Songbai Town of northern Changning City. It is
on the right bank of middle Xiangjiang River and is about 16km upstream Tugutang
Complex.
The terminal has one 105m long berth, the length of berth apron is 80m. In the original
design scheme, the inlet and outlet is at the village road with low-grade and narrow road,
which is the only passageway for the 3,000 residents nearby;traffic and pedestrian flows are
relatively large,and there are more than 60 households closing to the road;lots of facilities and
landscapes along the road will be damaged; more difficulties in land acquisition and
demolishing. In addition,there would be lots of potential risks due to mixing of people and
vehicles for terminal and access road construction. Meanwhile,dusts and noise during the
construction period would have large impacts to production and living of nearby residents.
Secondly, lots of potential risks for transportation in and out of the terminal. The terminal
entrance (OP) is designed to locate at the gate of Songbai Fertilizer Plant, which forms a
junction with existing village road and Songwa Road. Traffic flows from these three
directions joint together and would easily result in traffic jams. In addition, more than 3,000
residents and workers pass these areas in the meantime, which would result huge potential
risks. Thirdly, the advantage of saving investment is not obvious. Comparing to connecting
with existing village road, the scheme of connecting Songwa road (provincial road) from
about 500m south to the terminal outlet(KL) only increases investment of no more than three
million Yuan. Meanwhile,the new scheme can in connection with the 0.5 million-ton
Gold-Copper Project, which is in favor of the Terminal development. Therefore, Changning
government organized related people to investigate at site, and widely solicited opinions from
local villagers, afterwards, issued the Changning Government Document [2013] No.66 to
HXND (present HWTCIG), pointing out to modify the construction scheme of access road of
Songbai kiloton terminal.
41
The construction unit paid high attention to the issues proposed by local villagers in
terminal construction area, and organized relevant units and experts to hold a joint meeting in
Nov.19th, 2013 on adjustment of access road to Songbai Kiloton Terminal. The meeting has
considered the reasonable opinion of local government, select new site for the terminal access
road, and urge Hunan Communication Design Institute to submit alteration drawing. Hunan
Hydropower Design Institute (HHPDI) and resettlement supervisor have re-investigated to the
physical index within the land acquisition scope (including terminal area and access road) of
the modified Songbai kiloton terminal; HHPDI also modified some chapters in the original
planning report about planning of land acquisition and resettlement at Songbai kiloton
terminal.
i. After alteration, the Songbai kiloton Terminal of Changning city take permanent land
acquisition of 41.16 mu, including paddy field 31.65 mu, pond water surface 5.2 mu, inland
tidal flat 2.13 mu, rural residential land 1.2 mu and transportation land 0.99 mu. The terminal
access road is 471m long, 11m wide, involves in 2 villages (Qingnian village, Shucai village)
and 9 villager group (Li group and Xinmin group in Qingnian village, Laosi group, Tianjia
group, Tangjia group, Laowu group, Si group, Hujia group, and Mutang group in Shucai
village). In order to accelerate water transport development, achieve water transport between
north and south, stimulate commodity circulation, promote local economy, the people in
Qingnian and Shucai village vacate the land voluntarily to support the terminal construction.
ii. Evaluation of land acquisition activity
The monitoring personnel considered that after land acquisition at construction area of
kiloton terminal, the per capita cultivated land for the 2 groups in Qingnian village is more
than 0.5mu, and for the 7 groups in Shucai village is more than 0.3mu. Moreover, most young
rural labors work outside, there is no complain happens, the construction area keep social
stability.
iii. Compensation of land acquisition and house removal
After the scheme alteration, the permanent land acquisition in Songbai kiloton terminal
is 41.16mu, including paddy field 31.65mu, pond 5.2mu, relocated rural population 7
households of 33 people, house removal 2020.86 m2 (including public house 60 m2, private
house 1960.86m2).
Based on the new design alteration drawing, the construction company organize related
unit in Changning city have re-investigated to the physical index within the land acquisition
scope (including terminal area and access road) of the modified Songbai kiloton terminal, and
make statistic, publicity, review, and confirmation, giving confirmation as per the standard for
42
reservoir area.
Overall cost for compensation of land acquisition of Songbai Kiloton Terminal after such
alteration has been amounted to 5.604 million Yuan, including compensation cost of rural
resettlement of 3.5886 million Yuan, compensation cost of special facilities of 0.7647 million
Yuan, other costs of 0.5583 million Yuan, basic reserve cost of 0.3132 million Yuan and
related taxes and charges of 0.3792 million Yuan.
By the end of the fifth monitoring and evaluation period (Dec.2015), each compensation
of kiloton terminal has been appropriated as per agreement. According to the site investigation
on the relocated residents they are very satisfied with the terminal construction and
resettlement (one household is willing to building house by himself; the other six households
have abandoned their old house, and bought new house at other place).
6. Evaluation of Aid to Vulnerable Groups 6.1 Status Quo of Vulnerable Groups
Based on data provided by local government, conditions sampling-surveyed by
Monitoring Staff and the 6th Nationwide Census Data, affected area of engineering
construction of Tugutang Navigation & Hydropower Complex includes 2 towns, 4 villages
and 18 groups with agricultural population of 2210(some relocated to urban area), including
females of 1040, accounting for 47%, 469 persons with ages from 0 to 14, accounting for
21.22%, 204 persons with ages above 65, accounting for 9.23%.
6.2 Vulnerable Groups Aid Plan According to requirement of Asian Bank,aid plan of vulnerable groups of the Complex
uses Gender Action Plan, mainly including:
1) Tugutang Navigation and Hydropower Complex: during construction and operation of
the Complex, local labor forces are employed and at least 20% employment opportunities are
provided to female labor forces with corresponding training provided and equal pay for
equal work between females and males;
2) Construction of Berths in Songbai Terminal: Public consultation is carried out on
construction of the Complex with at least 50% of participant of females and low-income
groups; vocational educational organizations are employed to provide non-agricultural skill
training to local females and at least 500 trained females in the terminal area can obtain
employment or self-employment;
3) Capacity Building of Navigation Management Organizations: Person specially
43
assigned in shipping company to be responsible for implementation of Gender Action Plan;
what's more, 80% of company staffs need training to accelerate gender awareness.
4) Prevention and Propaganda of AIV and Aids;
5) Safeguard of laborer's authority;
6) Corresponding requirement in Resettlement Plan.
6.3 Assistance Implementation of Vulnerable Groups 1.Tugutang Navigation and Hydropower Complex: HPWTCIG has organized 227
females to receive agricultural and non-agricultural technical trainings, including plantation of
lotus root, fish culture, rear service and catering services. Among the 227 training-received
females, totally 99 employed in this project. During construction of dam area, reservoir area
and other areas, quite a part of local labor forces are employed. There are females who
participated simple labors with less technical skills, and reasonable reward has been paid
(details in Chapter 4.2).
2)Official Operation of Songbai Terminal According to conditions seen and consulted on
site of Songbai Port by Monitoring Staff, ratio for population of low-income who participate
in engineering is higher and 12 females participate in rear service of project department (store
management, catering and office work). In 2014,cooperated with Resettlement Bureau in
Changning and Songbai and Women Federations, HPWTCIG held a Women and Children Aid
Conference to express sympathy to 12 poor villagers and 12 underprivileged children in
Shucai Village and a student grant of RMB 6000 yuan was allocated. Vocational educational
institution was employed to provide skill training to low-income groups and females and this
has been developed persistently since 2013. On February 1st, 2015, Women Federations,
Resettlement Bureau and relevant Principals in Songbai Town and parts of villagers and
female representatives in Shucai Village were organized in a symposium, consulting
Implementation Plan of Assistance of Women and Children in Changning City. After the
symposium, 7 households of resettlers have been visited with subsidy of RMB 2000yuan
granted to each household. Total amounts are RMB 14,000 yuan. In March, 2016, 86
working-age populations were organized in construction area of Songbai Terminal for
employment skills training.
3) Capacity Building of Navigation Management Organization: During investigation,
ADB Inspection Team believes partial staffs in Management Office of Tugutang Complex of
HPWTCIG, who in charge of resettlement, not familiar with ADB policy of resettlement.
44
During consulting on site,HPWTCIG is known in fact, that has maintained strict relation with
ADB and World Bank during construction of many projects before with better knowing
resettlement policy of ADB and World Bank.
4) Prevention and Propaganda of AIV and Aids: Since commencement of project
construction, HPWTCIG has consistently developed prevention and propaganda of AIV and
Aids together with local hygiene department and provided physical examination to associated
personnel free of charge.
5) Protection of Laborer Rights: Rights of laborer can be better guaranteed based on
Labor Law together with local labor supervision department. Laborers can propose
complaints to labor supervision departments and local government. PMO of HPWTCIG are
actively planning and preparing to establish a set of efficient Complaint and Grievance
Mechanism (The complainant will directly report to associated Principal of construction unit)
to enable rights-protection-related problem of laborers better solved for the first time.
6) Associated requirement in planning of resettlement: Compensation shall be given to
household with per capita living space less than 25m2to complement 25m2 housing area of
wood and brick.Balance-subsidy shall be allocated for group of villagers who obtains less
land compensation than investment necessary for production arrangement. Data based on
HPWTCIG: From Year 2012 to Year 2016, three consultations were held by HPWTCIG, and
six gender awareness training workshops were organized in Changsha, Hengyang
Municipality, and Hengnan county with 326 representatives from HPWTCIG, Governmental
Competent Department of resettlement, women federations, disease control centers, and
contractors participating in. HPWTCIG together with Resettlement Bureau in Hengyang City,
Women Federations in Hengyang City and associated units in Hengnan County, Changning
City and Leiyang City, developed Women and Children Aid Implementation Plan in reservoir
area, dam area and Songbai Kiloton Terminal and paid a return visit on effect after
implementation of the plan with satisfaction shown by the beneficiary. In 2013,student grant
of RMB 10000 Yuan was paid to 20 poverty students (including 12 female students).On
September 19th of 2014,partial staffs of HPWTCIG are organized to attend a Gender

Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, and can file a lawsuit to the
People's Court when the solving results are not satisfied. The village committee can also file
lawsuit to the People's Court directly. The resettlement implementation organization shall
record and file all the complaints and solutions.
According to the supervisors' on-site investigation, all the affected persons said that they
have known the complaint mechanism propaganda, the complaint channel and procedure.
7.2 Grievance Redress Mechanism According to ADB requirements and resettlement situations, high-efficient grievance
redress mechanism shall be established in reservoir office of administration department of
Tugutang Complex. Based on information collected, Mr. Gan Maohui in Reservoir Office acts
as the principal of complaint treatment center, and Hengyang resettlement office appointed
Mr.Liu Liangqi to contact with the complaint treatment center, and Changning resettlement
office appointed Mr. Lei Jide to contact with the complaint treatment center. Contact
information and complain procedure have been disclosed to the relocatee in affected area
through method of posted notices. On this basis, HPWTCIG also built contact network for
complaint reporting and agencies and personnel are appointed to handle letters and visits from
the masses.
The Grievance Mechanism more efficiently deals with the relocatee complaints and
provides public resettlement consultation, thus HPWTCIG will get more understanding to the
