1 General

Wuhan Wastewater and Storm Water Management Project comprises two components: (a) The Wastewater Management Project t comprises 5 sub-projects, which are: (1) Wuchang Erlangmiao WWTP Expansion and Upgrading Project; (2) Hanyang Nantaizi Lake WWTP Expansion and Collection System Project; (3) Hankou Huangpu Road WWTP Upgrading Project; (4) Caidian WWTP and Collection Systems Project; (5) Dongxihu Wastewater Collection Systems Project. (b) The Storm Water Management Project comprises 4 sub-projects, which are: (1) Yangsigang Pump Station and Storm Water Box Culvert Project (Yangsigang Sub-project); (2) Three Gates Connection Project (Three Gates Sub-project); (3) Changqing Pump Station Expansion Project (Changqing Sub-project); (4) Luojiagang Canal and Luojia Road Pump Station Expansion Project (Luojiagang Sub-project).

Wuhan ADB Financed Wastewater and Storm Water Management Project Resettlement Plan was

approved by Asian Development Bank in 2006.

2 Monitoring and Evaluation of Resettlement

2.1 Target and Task

To make periodical monitoring and evaluation on land acquisition and resettlement in order to make sure that resettlement target is realized. To propose evaluation opinions and suggestions on the holistic resettlement and rehabilitation status of affected people’s living level through exterior independent monitoring and evaluation so that project administration department can get warnings in advance.
