Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan Objectives of the RAP and the Definition of Resettlement Terminology. This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared according to the Laws and Regulations of PRC, and local area as well as the Guidelines of the World Bank (Operational Directive for Involuntary Resettlement OD 4.30). The purpose of this document is to set out an Action Plan for the Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) to ensure that they will benefit from the project and their standards of living will improve or at least be restored after the project impact. Acquisition of land and other assets for the project will adversely affect the livelihood of persons who live, work or earn their living on the land that will be acquired for the project. PAPs are defined as those persons whose income or livelihoods will be adversely affected by land acquisition for the project. PAPs include the following categories: a) persons who have a title, right, interest, in structures (houses, enterprises, shelters, or public buildings), land (including residential, agricultural, and grazing land)or any other asset acquired or possessed, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; b) persons who use the structures, land or assets described above; or persons whose business, occupation, work, place of residence or habitat adversely affected; or c) persons whose standard of living is adversely affected as a consequence of land acquisition. A definition of PAPs is given below: Definition of the PAPs: "Affected Persons" means persons who on account of the execution of the project had or would have their: a) standard of living adversely affected; or b) right, title or interest in any house, land (including premises, agricultural and grazing land) or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed , temporarily or permanently; or c) business, occupation. work or place of residence or habitat adversely affected, and "affected Person" means individually all those who qualify as "Affected persons." PAPs may be individuals or legal persons such as a company, a public institution. Definition of PAPs is not limited to their legal registration or permission to live or conduct business in the affected location, or their title to property Thus, it includes: a) all those affected by the project regardless of their legal rights or absence thereof to the assets being taken; and b) persons without residential permit to live in a certain area. Therefore all such persons who are affected will need to considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal connection to assets land or location. If there are more than one person, family or household using or holding a title to the same land or property that is acquired, they will be compensated and 1 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan rehabilitated according to the loss they suffer, their rights, and the impact on their living standards. The definition of PAPs is linked directly to the adverse effect of the project, regardless of legal rights title or interest. All PAPs are entitled to the improvement or at least restoration of their standards of living, and compensation for the material losses they suffer. Compensation for assets will cover replacement cost. No deductions or discounts will be applied to the compensation amount for depreciation or other reasons. All PAPs deriving an economic benefit from the affected land and property are entitled to receive rehabilitation benefits in addition to the compensation for their assets lost. Those PAPs without title, authorization or legal permission to reside, conduct business, cultivate land or construct structures are eligible for rehabilitation of their livelihoods and compensation for their assets on an equal footing with those with formal legal title, authorization or permissions to the assets. The term RESETTLEMENT includes: a) the relocation of living quarters; b) finding acceptable new employment for those whose jobs are affected; c) restoration (or compensation) of affected productive resources such as land, workplaces, trees andinfrastructure; d) restoration of other adverse effect on PAPs' living standards (quality of life) through land acquisition (such as the adverse effects of pollution); e) restoration of or compensation for affected private and public enterprises; f) restoration of adversely affected on cultural or common property. Rehabilitation means: the restoration of the PAPs' resource capacity to continue with productive activities or lifestyles at a level higher or at least equal to that before the project. The objective of this RAP is to provide a plan for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs so that their losses will be compensated and their standards of living will be improved or at least restored to the pre-project levels. To achieve these objectives the plan provides for rehabilitation measures so that the income earning potential of individuals are restored to sustain their livelihoods. Affected productive resources of businesses (enterprises including shops) and public property. Infrastructure and cultural property will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-project levels. 2 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan 1. General 1.1. Project background Pingtan County locates in the east coast of Fujian Province, 128km from Fuzhou City, facing Taiwan Strait at east, only 68 nautical miles from Xinzhu of Taiwan. The county is composed by 128 islands, with a land area of 309.84km2 and a total population of more than 300000, the largest island is Haitan Island, with an area of 251.4km2, the place nearest to the land is 2~3 nautical miles. Pingtan Island locates northwest of the strait, in winter and spring it iscontrolled by Mongolia high atmospheric pressure, while the cold atmosphere is blowing to south for times, the available wind source of N and NE in Pingtan is formed. The original wind speed is higher due to funneling of Taiwan Strait, which makes continuous using time of available wind speed longer. In summer, the wind of SSW ans SW parallel to the coast is prevalent on Pingtan Island. Pingtan Changjiang Aofeng Power Plant locates in northwest inner land of Pingtan Island, at southeast of the plant, there are Hutou Hill, Junshan Hill, Yangmei Hill, Yanglei Hill, at northwest there are Yandui Hill, Longtou Hill and Furong Fastness, on micromosic view, it is at the canyon between two mountains, the special geography position results in its superior wind energy resource. With the economy rapidly developing, needs for energy sources are increasing enormously: The max annual power consumption and. power load in 2002 was 77 million kWh and 22.8 MW, with an increase rate of 13.2% and 9.1% for each. According to prefecture grid layout, it is estimated that, the max power load for Pingtan County grid in 2005 will be 29.5MW, with a power consumption of 100 million kWh; and in 2010 will be 43.2 MW, with a power consumption of 147 million kWh; increase rate of the annual power consumption and max power load is 9.0% for the last 3 years of "the Tenth Five Years" and 8.0% for "the Eleven Five Years". Pingtan county is an island lack of water resource, except the 6MW wind installed generator, power supply mainly depends on the provincial grid. In this place establishing wind-intensity power plant, not only can meet the needs of using power of Pingtan county, and enhance the reliability of the power supply, but also can offer superfluous power sources for Fuqing city to reduce the pressure of the power supply of the provincial grid, thus local regional economy and social continuous development will be stimulated up. All the residents in Pingtan County are of Han nation, no people of minority live there. 1.2. Project description According to the source and construction condition at Changjiang'ao Wind power farm, the planning total installation capacity of Changjiang'ao II will be 100.5MW (67 sets of wind generator, with the capacity of 1.5MW for each). By theoretical calculation, the yearly output of wind power farm will be 316.172GWh, power utilization of 3146h and power to the net of 0.26×109 kWh, utilization by selling power of 2583h, and capacity coefficient of 0.295. It is planned that the will be connected with Beicuo substation with double circuits of 110V outlet. The type of single lead line is of LGJ-240, and the length is of 2 x15km. 3 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan The economic transmission capacity for each circuit is about 73 MVA, and limited transmission capacity about 116MW (environmental temperature of 25 °C). The generator outlet connection is recommended to use one transformer for one unit (SCB9-1600/10.5 dry-type transformer), 5 units for one group (10kV). 110kV step-up substation is connected by single busbar, double sections and three busbars connection for 10kV device, 3 sets of SZ10-40000/110 main transformer, 10kV for separate operation and 110kV for single busbar wiring. The independent foundation of C30 reinforcing concrete mass will be designed for foundation of wind generator, with the lower size of 18x18m (in height of 12m) and upper size of 6x6m (in height of 3m), and concrete quantity of 600m3. One span, the reinforcing concrete raft foundation and three-floor frame structure, will be enlarged at end of the original central control building at the wind power farm. The designed anti-seismic intensity is 7 degree and anti-seismic Class II for frame structure. The distribution building is of frame structure with two floors and independent foundation of concrete reinforcing. See Table 1-1 Salient Features of Changjiang'ao II Wind Power Farm.

Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan See Fig.1-1 Sketch of Generator Layout in Wind Power Farm 1.3. Service Scope and Significance of Project Project main service scope is Pingtan County and Fuqing City nearby. After project construction, through utilizing rich wind resource in the county, opening up wind-intensity power plant as electricity supplement for local grid, not only directly provide electricity load for local place, but also can offer superfluous power sources for Fuqing City to reduce the pressure of the power supply of the provincial grid as well as corresponding transmission lines, thus local regional electricity load is guaranteed, economy and social continuous development will be stimulated up. Moreover, Chinese governments energetically advocate policy of developing new energy, project construction accords with it and gets energetic support and cooperation of local government. At the same time, project construction has perfect condition and economic indexes, with a comparative lower price as compared with that of other wind electricity in China, and will save much non-reproductive energy. And project construction will have a marked beneficial result on environment. 1.4. Project Schedule According to the general project schedule, the construction of the main project structures will start in 2004, the construction team will enter the construction fields, and the project will be completed in 2006. The total construction period of the project is planned to be 2 years. Based on the general project schedule, the preparatory work for resettlement has been completed and preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan 7 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is underway according to the World Bank Guidelines. The implementation of resettlement work will be started in 2004, including successive formality procedures of land requisition and resettlement. The implementation plan of land requisition and inhabitant resettlement are detailed in Chapter 7 herein after. 1.5. Measures for Minimizing Project Impact 1.5.1. Planning and design stages During project planning and design stages, the design organization and the project owner have adopted a series of effective measures to reduce the impact of the project on the local social and economic status. A. In the planning stage, the resettlement schemes were optimized and selected with due consideration in social and economic impact of the project, and such impact was taken as the key factors in selective comparison of the schemes. B. During project design period, for site election for the wind power farm, housing relocation is avoided, and cultivated land with perfect irrigation condition, as well as the main belt of state shelter-forest land. The construction road in the plant is rationally chosen so as to possibly reduce project affection, avoid housing relocation and reduce requisition of forestland and cultivated land. C. The construction design was optimized to shorten the construction period and construction was rationally arranged so as to reduce the property loss of the resettlers to a minimum. 1.5.2. Construction stage A. Strengthening public participation mechanism Before project construction, the public notice was issued in the project affected areas and the new resettlement areas clearly inform the planned project schedules, the compensation policies of land requisition, inhabitant resettlement and house removal so as to receive the public supervision. In the construction period, the local construction materials will be first considered, and the local transportation means and local labors will be first adopted so far as they can meet the technical requirement. The purpose is to make the PAPs benefit from the project. B. Measures to reduce floating dusts To maintain a clean environment in the construction site and reduce the construction impact to the surroundings, the construction roads at the inhabitant concentrated places will be water sprayed in case of continuous windy fine days to prevent floating dusts. The contractors will have the proper plan on the earth/rock transportation route so as to prevent effect on the peripheral residents and environment. Overloading of vehicles is not allowed and measures should be adopted to prevent spilling out, so as to keep a neat construction environment. C. Strengthening epidemic disease prevention and control During construction, large number of population will move onto the project area to provide various services. To maintain the public security and the health of the people in the area and prevent propagation and contagion, the project owner will request the local governments to strengthen the public security patrol and request the contractors 8 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan to clean up the living wastes at the construction sites according to the requirement of the local environmental sanitation authorities. The people from outside will be registered for quarantine and receive bacterin. Monitoring will be strengthened on epidemic diseases, and various epidemic diseases and diseases of natural epidemic focus will be regularly recorded and analyzed. New disease will be treated whenever found. Generally, statistics of diseases will be made once each season, and the reporting system of epidemic situation will be established, and the epidemic case should be reported in shortest time and corresponding measures should be adopted to control the contagion. 1.5.3. Resettlement implementation stage In case that the land requisition and house removal are unavoidable, the following measures should be adopted to reduce the project impact to the local situation. A. Basic data collection should be strengthened, and in-depth analysis on local social and economic status and development trends. The implementation plan that is practical to the local situation should be formulated to ensure that the living standard of the PAPs not be lowered by the construction of the project. B. Measures will be adopted to minimize the project impact. For example, in planning the resettlement, efforts will be made to use the natural bays for aquiculture, and to improve the land utilization condition and increase income from land. C. The internal and external monitoring should be strengthened and the efficient information feedback system and channels should be established to shorten the information processing cycle to a possible extent. It focuses on the timely solving the problems rising in the implementation of the resettlement. 1.6. Project Design and Approval During design of the project, the designers have made technical and economic studies by comparison of several selective dam sites with various selective normal reservoir storage levels. For the proposed selective project schemes, the designers determined the final scheme based on the economic justification involving, among others, various aspects such as the project impact to the local economy, land requisition and inhabitant resettlement, environmental impact assessment, geological structure, hydro -geology, topography and geomorphology, transportation of heavy equipment, and construction conditions, etc. The project owner will soon arrange the preliminary design approval and construction design. The environmental impact assessment of the project was carried out by the ECIDI. The institute raised some key environment-sensitive problems possibly induced by the construction (during and after construction) as well as the countermeasures. At present, the project owner is speeding up the process of approval of RAP and environment impact report. 1.7. Preparation of Resettlement Plan A. Survey of Project Impact According to the scope of inhabitant resettlement and land requisition, in May 2004, 9 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan project construction unit, Fujian Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Preparatory Office formed a survey group together with Forest Bureau, Land Bureau of Pingtan County People's government and Pingtan state-owned shelter-forest farm, under technical guiding of ECIDI, according to land requisition scope provided by the design unit, performed an overall survey on different indexes in project impact scope. The survey teams were actively supported and assisted by the local governments, village committees and the PAPs. According to the type of the affected objectives, the project impact survey was categorized into land requisition and PAPs to be resettled due to house relocation and land requisition. All the survey results were confirmed by the PAPs or the affected organizations. B. Social and Economic Survey For analysis on the project impact and formulation of feasible RAP, the competent departments of Pingtan County government organized, with the uniform arrangement by the project owner, the detail social and economic survey in the town(ship)s, villages and village groups in the project affected area and resettlement host areas. The survey is performed by collecting existing statistic data and site sample surveying, and can be divided in two aspects. (1) Basic conditions, social and economic status quo and development plan: Collecting from the planning, statistics and price management departments of the local governments data and information, documents and yearly statistic reports about GNP, national income, output value of industry and agriculture, financial revenue, income level of local people, price information of agricultural products and sideline products, agricultural cultivation structures, area of plantation, output per mu and plowland holding condition. All the information collected was analyzed and sorted into various economic indexes which can macroscopically reflect the local economic and social conditions. (2) Existing living and production conditions of the inhabitants in the area: The living and production indexes of the inhabitants in the land requisition and resettlement areas are established and sample survey of the affected objects are conducted. The data collection and sample survey were performed simultaneously with the survey of indexes in kind. According to the data actually surveyed, the actual living and production conditions of the local inhabitants and the existing social and economicconditions were analyzed. C. Resettlement Plan The resettlement will be incorporated into the regional economic development so that the resettlers are able to gradually become well off and their life will be equal to or better than before resettlement. The resettlement planning is under the leadership of the Pingtan County government. The detail survey was first made into the residual land sources on the village group base and the remaining resettlement capacity was determined. Then, after collecting the villagers' opinions and based on the actual conditions of each town(ship) and village, the resettlement method and scheme were drafted and discussed by the village management. Based on the method and scheme, each village worked out their own "Preliminary Resettlement and Land Requisition Plan of Village Affected by Pingtan Changjiang'ao Plant Project". Generally the resettlement is on the base of farmland. As the project construction will not much 10 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan influence the local economy, the resettlement is basically by re-allocating part of farmland within the village and village group or reclaim the wasteland or adjusting the plantation structures, so that the resettlers living and production condition can be restored or better than before resettlement. Meanwhile, in order to strengthen the leadership and coordination of the resettlement work, the concerned cities, counties (prefectures) established Project Resettlement Leading Groups successively. 1.8. Preparation of Resettlement Action Plan The preparatory work for resettlement action planning was organized by project construction unit--- the preparatory office for Fujian Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? period Wind power farm, and participated by the concerned design institutes, resettlement consulting organization and local governments at different levels , ECIDI provided technical guidance. The design institute set the boundaries of resettlement areas and the local governments were responsible for formulation of the resettlement schemes for the territory under their jurisdiction. Since July 2003, the resettlement organizations at different levels were successively established, the project affected areas were defined, the work outlines of RAP was prepared, and the work of survey of indexes in kind, social and economic survey, policy formulation, resettlement schemes and compensation estimation was completed. Now, the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the project has been completed. 1.9. Bases and Target of Preparation of RAP A. Policy Frame (laws, legislations and normal documents) (1).

Adopt engineering, technical and economic measures to avoid or minimize the land requisition and house relocation to a possible extent. When the land requisition and house relocation are unavoidable, efforts should be made to adopt effective measures to reduce the impact on the local living and production conditions. 2. In project preparation stage, the social and economic survey should be conducted and corresponding resettlement plan prepared. 3. The resettlement should be based on the surveyed indexes in kind and the compensation criteria, and should aim at upgrading or at least restoring the original living and production level of the resettlers. 11 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan 4. Initiate the developable resettlement. The rural resettlement should be on the basis of land and creates job opportunities in the local secondary and tertiary industries. 5. Encourage the resettlers and the inhabitants in host areas to participate in planning the resettlement. 6. The PAPs should be resettled in their original communities, as a first priority. 7. The resettlers and inhabitants originally living in the host areas should be benefited from the project. 12 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan 2. Natural, Social and Economic Conditions in Project Affect Area 2.1. Geographical Features of Reservoir Area (1) Topography and geomorphology This project is located at the areas of state -owned shelter-forest farm and townships (town) of Luyang, Zhonglou and Pingyuan in Changjiang'ao of Pingtan county, where mainly have the farm land and coastal shelter-forest zone and are convenience in the traffic. The topography is gentle and belongs to coastal wind-deposition plain, with scattered monadnocks distributed. The geological units are divided into: monadnock region (diorite region) and plain region (diorite region and granite region). (2) Hydrologic geology Hydrologic geological condition: Generally, in monadnock region there is not affect from the underground water. In the sand bed of plain region, the burying depth of underground water is shallow and it belongs underwater, with a rich quantity. The replenishment source is mainly from the precipitation, ground water and seawater. According to primary prediction on environmental hydrologic geological condition, the underground water in plain region would not have corrosion on the concrete structure, and have lesscorrosion on the reinforcing bars in the reinforced concrete structure and on the steel structure. The salt content for water near sea is higher obviously and it has intensity corrosion. ( 3) Metrology Pingtan locates at south east edge of European-Asia continent, a place of typical sub-tropical monsoon climate which is facing the pacific ocean, at the transition place of temperate belt and tropical belt, the humidity and wind direction differs with seasons.

Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan 2.4. Economic Conditions of Farmers in Reservoir Area In May 2004, project construction unit, relative departments of Pingtan County, project consultation unit carried out survey on living conditions of the farmers affected by project land requisition. From survey, in project affected area, it is very common that the labors especially young men go out to work, mainly for construction of tunnels (some are contractors and some are working labors), transportation and architecture construction, people at home for agriculture are the old and women. These peasants working outside can get a much higher income than they get from farming at home, and working outside has become the first choice for local labors. According to field survey, most of the families have stepped into comfortable living, some even live a prosperous life. 2.5. Status of the women in project affected area During the process of social economic survey, the programming group paid special attention to status of the women there. (1) Women's family status improved increasingly, male and female are basically equal In project affected area, division of work between male and female is not obvious on farming and housework, the women undertake onerous farming work as men, and men also do housework, generally, there is no specific regulation on this, people who are free will do housework, or together, however, if husbands are working outside and can not come back for farming, women will undertake both farming and housework independently. Due to the important status on production, women's work takes a large proportion of the family economic income, their status in the family is higher and higher. By survey, in most of the family, wives take charge money of the family or couples together; for the trifles in the family, women decide, if not trifles, the couples will talk over for decision in more than 60% of the families. (2) With high enthusiasm in village public business By survey, though local undertake onerous manual work, they have high enthusiasm in village public business; in addition, except director of the Women's Federation, women can compete for other village cadres. (3) Freedom in love and marriage By survey, local women are free in love and chasing their lovers, they can consider their parents' opinions, but not restricted by the opinions. (4) High extent of health protection on medical treatment and procreation During survey, it was found that medical treatment condition in local place is perfect, traffic is convenient, and women have high extent of health protection on medical treatment and procreation. (5) Women are better at sale of products than men In local place, women are better at haggling, and they can sell products more easily or for a higher price. (6) Women's anxiety on agriculture technology and information By survey, many local women often work outside, they are experienced and knowledgeable with high ability of accepting new knowledge and technology, so they are eager to learn new information from time to time. Meanwhile, lots of women think it is tired to work outside, they can not get freedom or much money, so after marriage, they stay at home for farming, however, they are not satisfied with traditional plantation and wish to participate in agriculture technical training, taking advantage of local resource to increase family income. Combining description above, women in project affected area play important 21 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan roles in every side of production and living, their status has been taken into very account and will be higher and higher. 2.6. Basic Economic Conditions of Project Affected Households A. Selection of sample households In order to correctly understand the project-affected households, the project survey team randomly selected 31 sample households affected by land requisition or by house relocation (100% of the total). The detail survey was made on production and living conditions of these households. The samples cover all affected objectives and can be taken as the analytical basis of project impact. The distribution of the samples is shown in Table 2-5. Distribution of Sample Households To Be Resettled Table 2-5 Sample Total County Town (ship), Affected Sample Proportion farm villages involved affected villages households households (%) Luyang 4 2 9 9 100% Pingyuan 7 7 19 19 100% Zhonglou 3 2 3 3 100% Pingtan State shelter-forest / / / / / farm Total 14 11 31 31 100% B. Survey results and analysis The 31sample households have an average number of family members 4.8 (including 2.4 females) per household, average number of labors 2.8 (including 1.3 females), 1.65 persons engaged in non-agricultural job (accounting to 58.9% of the labors per family). The average area of contracted plowland is 3.4 mu per family, and 0.71mu per capita. The average yearly gross income is 16248 Yuan per family, including 3845 Yuan (23.66%) from farming and 12403 Yuan (76.34%) from non-agriculture. The average yearly gross expenditure is10485 Yuan per household, 3387 Yuan for household business (32.3% of the yearly expenditure total) including 516 Yuan for farming (15.23% of the expenditure of household business). The yearly expenditure for life consumption is7098 Yuan per family accounting to67.70% of the yearly expenditure total), and the net income is 2692 Yuan per family. It can be seen from the analysis on the sample households that: in Pingtan County, cultivated land per capita is only 0.3mu, it is very common that local residents have jobs outsides even export labor abroad, which can also be seen from survey on affected households. The average yearly income is mostly from non-agriculture, and labors for non-agriculture are more than a half. All these illustration show that project affected area has a large population but a little land, local villagers do not depend on land for their living. According to survey, of the 31 affected requisitioned households, 9 households' family economic income is lower than 15000 yuan, and 19 households' economic income is between 15000 yuan and 20000 yuan, and 3 of them for family economic income of over 20000 yuan. An affection proportion of lower than 2% on family 22 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan economic income for 10 of them, and 2%~3% for 10 households, and 3%~5% for 11 households. Therefore, resettlement has little affection on land requisitioned households, on one hand, on base of relative policies of state, the compensation for land requisition will be paid to households with full amount, land will not be adjusted in the village, measure of compensation in cash will be adopted. On the other side, take advantage of working tradition in local place, strengthen PAPs' training of non-agriculture skills, increase their working ability, so that PAPs' economic income will be increased. 23 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ?

Project affected vulnerable groups Further analytical comparison will be carried out for defining the vulnerable groups of project affected people based on their objective conditions (including structure of family members, employment status of labors, income sources and property) and the data and information obtained from the local governments. Generally, the person whose family has no male labor or has its labor having already loosen working ability will be categorized into vulnerable group. Once an affected family is so categorized, the project resettlement office will provide special assistance during resettlement implementation. 3.4. Analysis on project impact 3.4.1.Direct Impact on Agricultural Production and Economic Revenue The project construction will bring affection to certain extent on local production and living. Mainly the less plowland will reduce grain production. The estimation shows that the yearly grain output of 6.2 tons will be reduced, accounting to 0.09% of yearly total grain outputin 2003. The loss of land has less influence on the grain supply. The estimation of grain production loss is shown in Table3-5. As the result of loss of land, the revenue from agricultural production will be directly reduced, which is about 8100 Yuan per year as estimated, less than 0.01% of rural agriculture revenue of the town(ship)s and the gross rural economy revenue. It can be seen from Table 3-6 that the revenue loss of the affected villages is less than0.5% of their revenue from agricultural production, and is less than 0.01% of their gross economic revenue. Thus, it is deemed that the land requisition for the project casts less influence to the economic revenue of each village. It can be seen from Table 3-7 that project construction had an affection proportion from 41 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project Resettlement Action Plan 0.67%~4.34% on income of requisitioned households, and no more than affection proportion of 5% for their economic income.

The former will be determined by the yearly output value and time length of occupation and the latter by the actual cost. Compensation for temporarily occupied dry land will be one time of annual average output value of the cultivated land for the 3 years before land requisition, which is 1000 yuan per mu; compensation for occupied forestland will be one time of annual average output value of the forestland, which is 500 yuan/mu; and compensation for reclaiming the occupied land will be 1500 yuan/mu. Therefore, compensation for temporarily occupied dry land will be 2500 yuan/mu, and 2000 yuan/mu for temporarily occupied forestland. 4.4.

Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan 5. Resettlement and Restoration Planning Under the unified organization of Fujian Pingtan Changjiang'ao II Wind Power Preparation Department, this resettlement plan was drafted firstly by each village with the organization of town(ship) people's government based on its own economic development characteristics and resources as well as solicited opinions from villagers. Then, the reasonability and feasibility analysis was made by different levels of local people's government together with the resettlement consultant unit (ECIDI) according to the current policy, legal regulations and the requirement of the WB, and the resettlement scheme is finally finalized. 5.1. Targets and Tasks 5.1.1.Targets The target of this resettlement plan is: arrangement of resettler's production, reasonable plan of labor force, restoration of production and living level at least equal to or higher than the original level before resettlement. Based on the actual living criteria in 2003 and in view of the tenth five-year-plan for national and economic development and long-term plan of 2015 of Pingtan county, the resettlement goal is: ? Fully explore the land potential to raise unit output of land through agricultural restructuring in the area with limited land resource; ? Take measures actively to ensure the per capita average income of resettlers families and gradually restore the income level before the resettlement or even higher; ? Improve public infrastructure facilities, as for school, hospital, social welfare, naturally environmental and traffic condition, etc. 5.1.2.ResettlementTasks A. Determination of resettlement level year Based on the general construction schedule, the reservoir impounding will be in 2006. In order to ensure the resettler's benefit and reduce losses and keep up the resettlement implementation progress with the construction progress of main project structure, the year of 2006 is set as resettlement level year and 2004 is design base year. B. Resettlement tasks According to the survey statistics, this project needs to resettle 31 households, 147 persons, those will be impacted by the land requisition. According to natural population growth rate of 10 by 2006, the resettlers will actually be 149 persons. 61 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ?

Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan 5.2. Policy and Principle of Resettlement Planning 5.2.1.Policy of resettlement planning Policy of resettlement plan is to respect and care the habit of production and living of local resettlers, consider fully the wishes of resettlers, not to change the original production and living style. Land-based resettlement should be in original township (town) and village with the consideration of local agriculture restructuring (mainly for planting production). The resettlement should be set firstly in the foundation of basic living materials and long-term potential of development, fully take the advantage of local resources, and adjust resettlement approaches to suit local conditions to explore the development method. The industry, forest, husbandry, subsidy production, fishery and the 3rd industry should be fully developed to form reasonable industrial structure step by step. The compensation given by the government should be fully used and more scientific and technical means should be adopted to keep the production and living level equal to or higher than before. Efforts should be made to increase the income of resettlers simultaneously with other villagers in the vicinity in order to have a coordinative development of regional economy, and maintain the community more stable and safe in long run. 5.2.2.Principle of resettlement planning The resettlement should be arranged, relying on the local resources and making the project construction as a central and economical effective as a goal, in several ways at different levels to reach the resettlement target. According to the relative state laws and regulations and policy of involuntary resettlement of the WB, the resettlement of this project should follow the following basic principles: ? Implementing relative compensation policy to restore the production and living level of affected resettlers at least equal to or even higher than before resettlement. ? The resettlement planning should be coordinated with the local state land regulation, social development plan and national economy, making overall plan and taking all factors into consideration, treating correctly the relation between state, collective and individuals. ? The resettlement plan should be compiled based on surveyed land acquisition inventory index and compensation criteria. ? The decision on resettlement plan and various compensation criteria should be consulted with the affected units and ensure the benefit of resettlers. 5.3. Overall Scheme of Resettlement Because the design unit had considered fully the destructiveness for local production and living system by the land acquisition during the layout of wind power farm, optimization the project design and adopting engineering measures to decrease as far as possible the scope of land acquisition and slow down the influence for local production by the construction. In addition, the land requisition in each village is less and project influence is scattered relatively, less influence to resettler's family. Therefore, the construction of this project will not cause huge damage to original production and living system for each village. During the period of May 2004, the resettlement planning group 63 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan went to township(town) and village to convene meeting to discuss the resettlement scheme, and the scheme was made based on resettler's opinion and the actual condition of the village: All resettlers affected should be arranged in the original community so that the original production and living mode can be kept, the habit and social relation be maintained and helpful to strengthen the enthusiasm and adaptability of production and living of resettlers. For the production, mainly it is to adopt the cash compensation for resettlement as less impact on the households by land requisition. Efforts should be made to instruct resettlers to engage in transportation industry, construction industry and developed industry in the local area to ensure to restore or raise resettler's production and living level. 5.4. Resettlement Environmental Capacity Analysis The project influence area is located at the plain region of Pingtan county, where has mild climate, enough sunshine for crops growth, adequate water source, good land property, soil suitable for various crops growth and specially for peanut and watermelon. After land acquisition, excluding 0.01mu decreased in the average land per capita for Yangzhong village, the decreasing of average land per capita for other villages is less than 0.01mu. Therefore, the occupation rate of land resource will not become the restriction factor of environmental capacity. See Table 5-2 farmland condition of each village.

According to analysis, the impact on income of households with the land requisition is different, from 0.49% to 4.34%. The affected proportion on household of Yu Yuyi in Rongshan village of Pingyuan township is lower, only 0.49%, and on household of Lin Fuqin in Yangzhongvillage of Luyang townis 64 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan highest, 4.34%. The household of Lin Fuqin has 2 labor forces, one engaging agricultural work and another one engaging non-agricultural work (outgoing work). The land requisition for the project construction will not have impact on their employment and also not have a great impact on their economic income. The economic income influence to households with land requisition will not exceed 5%, therefore the impact on economic income and on employment of households withland requisition is less, and cash compensation should be adopted for production resettlement. 5.5. Resettlement Planning of Rural Resettlers The rural resettlement plan mainly means the restoration plan for production as no relocation required in the project. 5.5.1. Restoration plan for production During the survey and resettlement planning course, the resettlement working group hold the meetings with township (town) and village cadres, resettlers and partial representatives of villagers in relative township(town) and villages to discuss the resettlement plan. After the meeting, each village put out the resettlement plan based on its own advantage of resource and actual conditions, which was discussed and passed by collectively by two commissions. Finally, compiled and completed the "Preliminary Planning for Land Acquisition and Resettlement of Villages Affected by Pingtan Changjiang'ao Wind Power Project" (see Attachment 3 for details), which was approved by the local government and most resettler's representative. According to the relative requirement of guideline of OP4.12 of the WB, after analyzing the environment capacity after land acquisition, it is decided that the resettlers will be arranged within the same community to maintain its original production and living style after resettlement and no change of original social relation. The resettlement planning work group analyzed the incomecomposition of affected households with the land requisition. Base on the opinion of resettlers' households and representatives of villagers collected on meetings held in 9 affected villages during May 28-29,2004 and respecting fully the option of the most resettlers, the cash compensation will be given to resettlers and labor forces of resettlers will transfer to other industry by themselves. The cash compensated resettlers will get completely the resettlement subsidy for land acquisition, and the village will get the land compensation fee. 5.5.2. Use of Resettlement Compensation A. Use of resettlement compensation fees The resettlement compensation capital will be controlled by the skeleton economic management organization. Generally, the compensation for land acquisition will be managed by the township(town), village or villager group for the production restoration, arrangement of surplus labor and construction of infrastructure, etc. according to the land use right. The compensation fee for land acquisition and subsidy for labor resettlement will be managed by the township (town), village or villager group not only for the production restoration but also for the following if it is agreed by the villagers group: 65 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan a. Invest the local infrastructure construction, reinforce farmland production capacity, improve rural irrigation facility, strengthen village road construction and increase traffic ability; b. Invest the construction of public welfare in village; c. Invest the collective enterprise of the secondary and tertiary industry to increase the employment channel for rural surplus labors. B. Guarantee measures of compensation capital ? If use land acquisition compensation fee for development of the secondary and tertiary industry items, two commissions should make survey carefully to confirm the market condition, report to the township(town) government for approval and pass by the villagers conference; ? In order to ensure the income level after the land acquisition, the management of new enterprise should be stressed, inspected and audited regularly, solve timely the actual problems(such as technical guidance and product selling, etc.), and prepare necessary regulations to guarantee the enterprise to develop properly; ? If the periphery investment environment is changed and the secondary and tertiary industry investment scheme does not guarantee resettler's income, the land acquisition compensation fee and subsidy should be firstly deposited in the bank and distribute the annual interests to farmers to guarantee its living level not go down. At the same time, the investment scheme should be re-assessed to decide whether it is needs to continue the investment or change the investment direction. 5.5.3. Implementation and management of resettlement The implementation of resettlement plan will be organized by the resettlement leading group. The resettlement office formed by personnel from relative department of Pingtan county should work out the resettlement policy, take the responsibility for publicity, mobilization, organization and implementation of the resettlement plan. At the same time, the resettlement office is also the major channel of reflecting resettler's problem. The resettlement office should listen and collect resettler's opinions and report to the above in time, and also feedback the solutions timely to resettlers. 5.5.4. Training plan A. Training of resettlement staff In order to implement better the relative involuntary resettlement policy of the WB and to ensure smooth resettlement progress of this project, the project Owner ­ Fujian Pingtan Changjiang'ao II Preparation Department plans to organize related staff from resettlement organizations at different levels to have study tour in domestic and overseas project that is successful in resettlement to enhance their professional quality and management quality. B. Technical skill training 66 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan In order to create an environment for self-dependence and self-development to restore or raise the living level in a period as short as possible, Pingtan county resettlement office will organize technical training for resettlers. It is planned to hold agricultural technique training on the one hand, combining the implementation of agriculture restructuring, and invite experts who has experiences in planting and aquaculture, for instance, organize relative professionals from agricultural department or fruit production office of county to go to the field for guidance of improving technique of peanut and vegetable . On the other hand, aiming the development of non-agriculture economy, organize the non-agriculture skill training such as construction and transportation management, etc.. 67 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ?

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND CONSULTATION 9.1. Public participation During formulating resettlement policy, drawing up the RAP and resettlement implementation, the relevant authorities have paid and will pay special attention to the participation and consultation of the PAPs, solicit opinions widely from social organization, governmental department, community and resettlers, encourage them participating resettlement and rebuilding. During feasibility study, PRO and design institute have solicited opinions and proposals for several times on alternative of project site, resettlement way and method from people's congress, People's Political Consultative Conference, social bodies, town(ship) government, representatives of the mass. In preparation of the RAP, the PRO has once again solicited the opinions from local governments at all levels and the resettlers' representatives on the resettlement and compensation. With cooperation of local governments at all levels, this RAP is complied. In the implementation stage, the resettlement offices at all levels will further encourage the public participation in the resettlement and rehabilitation. 9.1.1.Public Participation During the feasibility study stage, the project office actively encouraged the public participation in the work. (1) In Jan. 2003, the relative technical staff of the Project Owner, project leading group office of Pingtan county and design institute solicited opinions widely from people in the affected town(ship) and state-owned shelter-forest farm, and define the alternative of site and affected scope. At the same time, the county government office invited the leaders from bureaus of land administration, forest, environment and power supply under its jurisdiction to discuss and consult the resettlement way and method, and they proposed the preliminary scheme according to the development plan of the local social economy. (2) In Apr. 2004, with arrangement of Pingtan County government, the colloquia, participated by the town(ship) leaders and cadres of the villages, were held to understand the importance of the project construction, setting down the resettlement works. (3) In order to make publicity of the project and collect comments from cadres and public on the project construction and resettlement, the PRO and resettlement consulting unit of ECIDI held meetings in the affected town(ship) and village groups in May 2004, participated by the town(ship) and village cadres and representatives of resettlers. At the meetings, the necessity of construction of the project and resettlement policies were made known to all the involved, and opinions for resettlement are collected. 92 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan Fig. Colloquium Held with Resettlers 9.1.2. Participation In RAP Preparation During preparation of the RAP, the local governments at all levels and resettlers were involved in the following activities. (1) Resettlement offices at all levels, administration of villages and villager groups, and resettlers' representatives participated in the inventory survey in the affected areas. (2) The PRO, Pingtan county and town(ship) people's government held meetings, participated by the local cadres at all levels and the PAPs, to make known to them the relative resettlement policies issued by the state and province, as well as the requirements of the World Bank, and meanwhile, to collect their opinions and suggestions on the way of reducing project impact, method of resettlement and compensation criteria for different affected objects, and to conduct extensive consultation with them. (3) During the planning of resettlement program in May 2004, PRO, resettlement leading group office of Pingtan county and consulting unit (ECIDI) again go to each village and village group, held colloquia participated by village cadres and representatives of resettlers or by random visiting, further solicit suggestions and 93 Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Farm Project ResettlementAction Plan opinions from them on resettlement (including requirements and suggestions concerning measures of production restoration, compensation policies for land requisition). Meetings were held for 10 times, participated by 200 persons/times, with random visiting up to 10 persons. The detail contents are referred to Attachment 2 -- Visiting Records. (4) During social economic survey of project impacting, the local government, project effecting villages and resettlers provided a great supporting and cooperation. In the preparation of " Resettlement Action Plan ", they have participated in this work. (5) In order to further strengthen project propaganda, and understand opinions on the project construction and resettlement from cadres and masses of all, before the RAP was prepared, the PRO and survey design institutions had conducted a wide-range soci-economic survey to solicit opinions on the project construction and resettlement from the affected persons, relevant villages and villager groups by a way of question and answer survey. Totaling efficient answers: 13 copies of survey form for resettlers' opinions, and 40 copies of public participation survey form. The surveying scope is basically covering all town(ship)s and villages affected by land requisition, and the surveyed persons have a extensive representative. The investigated results are confidence with a higher level and can truly reflect the wishes of local resettlers. The survey results are indicated in Table 9-1 and the survey results for public participation are indicated in Table9-2. From the survey results indicated in Table 9-1, it shows that 100% of resettlers know the project will be constructed, and hope the project construction will be started as soon as possible; 84.6% of surveyed households are willing to have land to be requisitioned and to be resettled, and arealready for land requisition. Most of them chose to engage in other occupation (as they are used to engage the outgoing work). By survey, it shows that fairly partial farming households still do not know the relevant compensation policies of the land requisition and hope the compensation can be carried out according to the relevant documents of state and province. Through extensive propaganda, the most of resettlers have understood their own legal rights and interests and that they can make complaint through the legal channel after infestation of their rights . From the opinion inquiry statistical results of the public in Table 9 - 2, it shows that now the major problem of restricting economic development in the project affecting area is worse traffic condition and power supply. Most of the surveyed persons hope the project construction should be started as early as possible because of that Pingtan county people's government has propagandized to public through TV, newspaper and broadcast.
