External Monitoring for Resettlement Plan

     PART I The Clarification on Resettlement for Xinjiang
 Integrated and Urban Development Project Mission MOU on

                            November 25-28, 2019.

     The Statement in MOU:8 of the 11 civil engineering contracts for the Kuitun
project (KT-C01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 and 08) involves land acquisition and resettlement

impacts. The updated Resettlement Plan for Dongchong ditch, Xichong ditch and Nangan

channel sections (C01, 02 and 03) under the jurisdiction of Kuitun City was approved by

the ADB and posted on the ADB website in November 2016. As of November 30, 2019, 60

residential houses and 47 shops and enterprises affected by the Dongchong ditch and

Xichong ditch contracts have been relocated. Consultations with the last household and

one shop owner have not been completed. After field investigation, the PMO and the

external monitoring unit found that the last household and shop are located in the area

along the bank of Dongchong ditch planted with shelterbelts, which will not affect the

construction of Dongchong ditch. If the affected households and shops do not agree with

the compensation and resettlement measures, the Kuitun PMO will optimize the design to

remove them from the resettlement impact of the project. The Mission requested Kuitun

PMO to report to ADB on the progress of the resettlement of the last household and one

shop.

    During this external monitoring, the staff from external monitoring unit asks Kuitun

PMO to understand relevant resettlement and field investigation and found that Kuitun

PMO had shift out the last household and 1 shop involved in Dongchong ditch from the

project resettlement impact through the design optimization. At present, the relevant civil

engineering works of Dongchong ditch and the shelter forest project on the bank have been

basically completed, and the affected people of the above two households are no longer

within the affected scope of the project. See schematic diagram below:

The Kuitun PMO has adjusted the design scheme, and the affected residential
           houses are no longer in the original demolition scope

                                     7

External Monitoring for Resettlement Plan

   The Kuitun PMO has adjusted the design scheme, and the last one shop is no
                longer involved in the original demolition scope

    The following conclusions are drawn from this external monitoring:

    (1) it is indicated that 156HHs of residents’ houses would be demolished based on

the original RP, including 61 households in Kuitun city (including 32 households in Xichong

ditch and 29 households in Dongchong ditch). Tianbei New District involves 95 households.

    Finally, according to the actual situation of the project and the optimization of the

project, the number of resident housing demolition in Kuitun city reduced from 61 to 60

(including 32 households in Xichong ditch and 28 households in Dongchong ditch), as

shown in table 1.

    (2) 58 small-scale shops would be demolished based on the original RP, including

48 shops in Kuitun city (46 in Xichong ditch section and 2 in Dongchong ditch section), and

10 shops in Tianbei New District.

    Finally, according to the actual situation of the project and the project optimization, the

number of shops along the street in Kuitun city was reduced from 48 to 47 (including 46 in

Xichong ditch and 1 in Dongchong ditch), as shown in table 2.

    (3) According to the final design scheme, DMS and third-party evaluation, it is

confirmed that the project involves the demolition of three enterprises, including two

                                              8
External Monitoring for Resettlement Plan

           enterprises in Kuitun city, one in Tianbei New District, and two enterprises in Kuitun city

           have completed the demolition work and have been properly resettled.

                 Conclusion:above mentioned, except for the demolition in Tianbei New District, the

           rest of the house demolition in Kuitun had been finished already, the affected people had

           been well resettled. As of this monitoring, there is no legacy or outstanding issues.

                                                                 9

PART II           Resettlement Impact Clarification for the Location

            Change of Sediment Tank in Dongchong Ditch

    Background: The original design location of sediment tank (including sedimentation

area and clear water area) of Dongchong Ditch river regulation project is 195 meters away

from Beijing East Road in the north, 218 meters away from Kuerle East Road in the south,

20 meters away from the regulated Dongchong Ditch River in the East and East Park to

be built in the West.

    During the detailed design, PMO found that the north side of the original design

location of the sediment tank will involve the demolition of 2 households (6 people) in

Dongtingyuan community, Beijing East Road Street, with an area of about 160m2 and a

courtyard wall of about 50m. Therefore, in order to reduce the impact on the demolition

and ensure the smooth implementation of the project, the overall construction position of

the sediment tank was shifted to the south 130 meters without changing its use function.

Meanwhile, the layout and total area of the sediment tank were optimized, and the water

storage area was adjusted from 12100 square meters to 9326 square meters. After the

relocation, the new location is about 120 meters away from Dongtingyuan community

residence of Beijing East Road Street in the north, 48 meters away from Kuerle East Road

in the south, 20 meters away from the already treated Dongchong gully in the East, and

close to the East Park to be built in the west, which does not involve house demolition. As

the construction land is all state-owned unused land in the city, it can be directly allocated

as the construction land of this subproject, so the project does not involve LA and HD.

               Current Situation of Sediment Tank in January 2021

    Summary: After the project optimization design, the project office has effectively

avoided the impact of the demolition of 2 households with 6 people. Through field

investigation, the external supervision unit found that the completed sediment tank was far

away from residential areas and had no other impact on Residents' production and life.

    PART III          Clarification on Scope Change (Newly added

                   Components) for Kuitun Subproject

     On January 19, 2021, both Xinjiang and Kuitun PMO received an e-mail notice from

the ADB that “Considering the loan has been extended by two years with the total loan

period about 8 years already, ADB is not in favor of additional loan extension, and therefore

nor the proposed scope change of Kuitun subproject which will take about 1.5 years to

complete.”

     Based on the notice from ADB, it is confirmed that the closing date of the subproject

will be June 30, 2021, and the scope change project components are not agreed by ADB.

Therefore, the external monitoring has deleted the contents of the proposed components

in this report.

                                     1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
     In order to further improve Kuitun City’s urban infrastructure, ecological and living

environment, and image, improve flood control capacity, and adapt to economic and social

development, Kuitun City Government (KCG - executing agency, EA) plans to implement

the Subproject using an ADB loan. The Subproject consists of five components: (1) river

channel management; (2) construction of flood drainage channel facilities; (3) shelter forest

cultivation; (4) waste disposal and sewage interception; (5) non-profit water management.

The Subproject is a subproject of the ADB-financed Xinjiang Integrated Urban

Development Project, and the implementing agency (IA) of the Subproject is Kuitun City

Construction Bureau (KCCB).

1.2 Project Content
      (1) River channel management:
     3 flood drainage channels in the urban area will be improved, with a total length of

6996.20 m (including Dongchong ditch KT-C01, 0+000-0+660, Dongyizhi channel 0+000-

demolition work and have been properly resettled. One enterprise in Tianbei New District

has not completed the demolition work, because the LA, HD and resettlement of Tianbei

New District has difficulties. After discussion and decision of Xinjiang PMO, Kuitun

municipal government and inspection team, Kuitun city government flood drainage

improvement project financed by domestic funds (5 contract packages including KT – C04,

C05, C06, C07 and C08).

residents before the house demolition and held a public participation meeting to the

affected people, there are no complaints happened.
