(This component is jointly cofinanced among these four multilateral development banks.) 3. Provision of Train Sets to Operate in the First Quito Metro Line: Provision of at least eighteen, six-car train sets, with four automotive cars per train and auxiliary vehicles for track maintenance and yard work, and workshop equipment. 4. Project Management: Provision of technical assistance for the management oversight and supervision of the Project. 5. Technical Studies to Support Implementation: The carrying out of technical studies to support the implementation of the Project, including a financial management and cost recovery study (with recommendations on tariff structure) of the SITP, and the study to design the fare collection with the SITP that will be compatible with the fare collection system for the metro. 4. Project location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard analysis (if known) The Quito Metro Project is located in Quito, Ecuador. Quito has an elevation of approximately 2,800 Public Disclosure Copy masl and a population of approximately 2,400,000. The metro line will be approximately 23 km in length located in an urban environment. The line will run from the south of the city in Quitumbe sector and heading north through the city sectors MoránValverde, Solanda, El Calzado, El Recreo, and La Magdalena. The line then will reach the city center in the area of San Francisco and Alameda, then reaches north of the city passing Ejido Park, Central University, La Pradera, La Carolina, Iñaquito, Jipijapa and culminates in the sector El Labrador, specifically in the northern end of the recently closed airport (Mariscal Sucre airport). The historic center of Quito has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and one station of Phase 2 (Plaza San Francisco) is located in this area. 5. Environmental and Social Safeguards Specialists Raul Tolmos (LCSEN) Alonso Zarzar Casis (LCSSO) Robert H. Montgomery (LCSEN) 6. Safeguard Policies Triggered? Explanation (Optional) Environmental Assessment OP/ Yes The project is classified as Category A. An BP 4.01 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), including an Environmental Management Plan Page 2 of 15 (EMP), has been developed for the Metro Quito Project (Note: construction of the Metro Quito Project is separated into Phase 1 –construction of Public Disclosure Copy La Magdalena El Labrador Stations and Phase 2 – all remaining construction; the Bank project consists of financing a portion of Phase 2). The EIA included various support studies, including cartographic interpretation, topography, archeology and paleontology, heritage sites and structures, passive seismic, vibrations, earthquakes, hydrogeology, groundwater flow modeling, inspection of buildings and structures, affected pubic services, geology and seismic effects. The EIA has been approved by the Ecuador Ministry of Environment, responsible by law for this project. The Inter-American Development Bank, the European Investment Bank, and the Andean Development Cooperation (CAF) have approved financing for a portion of the Metro Quito Project. Other relevant studies that have been developed for the project include an additional social impact study, gentrification study, Environmental and Social Management Plan (EMP), social participation process report, historic center cultural heritage report, study on trees of historic importance, and socioeconomic study of transportation cost related to family expenditure. Public Disclosure Copy The project has various positive benefits, including improvement in the quality of life of the residents of Quito; promotes urban integration and organization and consequent land development; provides increased comfort, reliability and decreased commute times; increased urban accessibility and mobility; less superficial vehicular traffic on main roads, allowing for the decrease of traffic congestion, combustion gas contamination and sound, as well as commute times; air quality improvement of Quito, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the mitigation of climate change; improved public health due to the reduced number of accidents and less environmental contamination; job creation; and increased commercial and economic activity. Page 3 of 15 In terms of potential negative environmental and social impacts and risks, in addition to typical infrastructure construction impacts which are Public Disclosure Copy localized and of short duration (e.g., generation of noise, dust, waste management, etc.), there are some project specific impacts and risks of particular significance. Some potential significant impacts during construction are effects on soil stability or subsidence during tunnel excavation or vibrations that cause damage to the structure of buildings, changes in flow ground waters, effects on stations located in municipal parks (green areas), traffic congestion, noise and dust around metro station locations, transport and disposal of soil/excavated material from the tunnel and station excavations, possibility of archaeological finds, impacts cultural resources in the Quito historic center, worker health and safety risks in tunneling and excavation works, and decreased accessibility to businesses and homes in the immediate vicinity of metro stations. Potential significant operational phase impacts or risks include: vibration impacts on buildings, impact on ground water flow, waste management of metro rail car maintenance facilities, and risk of emergency event (e.g., fire, explosion, etc.). The project design has incorporated various Public Disclosure Copy measures to minimize and mitigate some potential impacts and risk. Studies on the type of soils along the route have confirmed that there is limited risk to liquefaction or collapse. A sequential method will be used for tunnel construction that provides greater safety during works and reduces possibility of subsidence. Tunnel protection systems with be used to minimize risks of subsidence and impact on ground water flow. The project EIA includes an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which presents mitigation and monitoring measures for each project phases (design, construction, operation and maintenance, and closing). The EMP includes: (i) Plan for the Prevention and Mitigation of Impacts, including plan for the prevention and reduction of air contamination, Page 4 of 15 noise and vibrations, plan for the prevention and mitigation of soil contamination, geology and geomorphology prevention and mitigation plan, Public Disclosure Copy plan for the prevention and mitigation of water contamination, plan for the prevention and mitigation of biological contamination, plan for the prevention and mitigation of mobility deterioration and urban accessibility, plan for the prevention and mitigation of damages to cultural resources, plan for the prevention and control of landscape impacts; (ii) Industrial Safety and Occupational Health Plan; (iii) Emergency and Contingency Response Plan; (iv) Community Relations Plan; (v) Environmental Training Plan; (vi) Waste Management Plan; (vii) Plan for the Restoration of Affected Areas; (viii) Closing and Abandonment Plan; (ix) Maintenance Plan; and (x) Monitoring and Follow-up Plan. EPMMQ has developed an Environmental and Social Management Plan (EMP) that builds upon the EMP and further develops various environmental, social, and health and safety aspects including: (i) Social Management Plan; (ii) Occupational Health and Safety Management Plan; (iii) Environmental Monitoring; (iv) Standard Construction Contract Conditions; (v) Plans for Excavated Soil Disposal (including Public Disclosure Copy potential risk of encountering contaminated soils), Management of Patrimonial Trees, and Traffic Management during Construction of Metro Stations, (vi) Works in the Quito Historic Center, (vii) Institutional Organization and Responsibilities; (viii) Supervision/Monitoring and Reporting; (ix) Interagency Agreements, and (x) ESMP Budget Estimate. The EMP includeS various monitoring programs during construction and operation stages, including sampling sites, parameters and frequency. These include: air quality, noise, vibrations, soil quality, quality of surface and ground water. Environmental performance monitoring will incl ude: (i) environmental, health and safety monitoring and reporting by construction Page 5 of 15 contractor, who by contract must have designated environmental and health safety managers; (ii) environmental, health and safety supervision of Public Disclosure Copy construction works by an independent consultant firm reporting to EPMMQ; (iii) supervision by EPMMQ; (iv) supervision by Ministry of Environment regarding compliance with EMP and environmental regulatory requirements; (v) supervision by Ministry of Labor related to worker safety; and (vi) performance of an annual environmental audit by independent third party under terms of reference and selection approved by the Ministry of Environment. Information disclosure and public consultation has been performed (see ISDS section II.5 for details). The total project budget is approximately US$ 1,500,000,000, which approximately 0.6% is for the implementation of environmental management plans and social ($8,938,000). However it is important to note that many of the measures of socio-environmental prevention are already incorporated in the final design of the project and therefore are not considered in this ESMP budget. Considering these other measures, it is reported that the value of socio- Public Disclosure Copy environmental prevention is approximately 5% of the total project cost. EPMMQ has developed a plan to develop and implement an Integrated Management System for Environment, Social, and Health and Safety. The Bank is working with EPMMQ to explore options to increase positive environmental and social benefits. The ideas include: (i) improvement of parks and recreational areas (e.g. El Ejido and La Alameda) will not only in relation with areas affected by construction of metro stations but more broadly on improvement in the whole park/recreational area; (ii) microeconomic development in the vicinity of stations through support to owners and storekeepers near each station; (iii) during construction of San Francisco Metro station, Page 6 of 15 Francisco, take the opportunity to improve adjacent buildings and facades, repaving streets and pedestrian ways, etc.; (iv) institutional Public Disclosure Copy support to key institutions responsible of implementing actions associated with the project; and (v) support EPMMQ in developing of a more effective and efficient operational phase social, environmental, safety and occupational health management system based on international experience in other metro systems. Natural Habitats OP/BP 4.04 No This policy should not be triggered since the project will not involve the significant conversion of natural habitats or critical natural habitats. There will be some impacts on a number of urban trees, some of which are of aesthetic and historical value. These impacts have been considered within the EIA, and recent EPMMQ efforts on re-designing the station location at El Ejido have helped reduce the impact on trees. The EMP provides measures to re-located directly impacted trees and re-vegetate the relevant metro stations after construction. None of the potential sites selected for tunnel soil/spoil disposal would significantly adversely impact any natural habitats as defined under this policy. Forests OP/BP 4.36 No This policy should not be triggered since the project will not affect forests, forest dependent communities not will it involve changes in the Public Disclosure Copy management of forests. Pest Management OP 4.09 No This policy should not be triggered since the project does not involve the purchase or use of significant quantities of pesticides. The project may during operation phase of the metro require the limited use of regularly available pesticides for pest control (e.g. rodents, etc.) in the tunnels. Applicable standard procedures will be established in the operation phase environmental management plan under OP 4.01. Physical Cultural Resources OP/ Yes This policy should be triggered given that a BP 4.11 portion the proposed metro-line route passes directly underneath a portion of the historical center of Quito, which was declared as the first World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978.The construction works in this area are limited to tunneling (which will be done by conventional/ traditional methods and not Tunnel Boring Page 7 of 15 Machine (TBM)) and the construction of station (San Francisco). The operation of the metro is expected to have a positive impact by helping to Public Disclosure Copy reduce traffic congestion and facilitate better access to the area. The one potential future station (Plaza del Teatro) is not located in the area of Quito’s historical core declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The construction in this area presents potential risks due to vibrations, soil subsidence, visual impacts of entrance to stations located in the historical plazas, and impacts to aesthetic values around the stations including trash. In order to help reduce potential risks in the historical center of Quito, several alternatives for technical design for stations in San Francisco and Plaza del Teatro were studied (e.g., resulting in using conventional tunneling, removing of all spoils at station south of San Francisco thus eliminating project truck traffic issue in the center, utilizing an existing building for San Francisco metro line entrance, etc.). An initial survey all buildings above the tunnel/line path has been completed and will be used to asses any potential actual impacts during construction. Based upon other works that have occurred in the past in the historic center and existing knowledge about Plaza San Francisco, it is reported that there is little change of any significant archeological Public Disclosure Copy findings during the station construction (e.g., mainly fill materials in shallow depths). The Municipality of Metro, based upon a study developed by EPMMQ, has submitted a report to UNESCO informing them of the proposed project. The Municipality reported that they do not anticipate any issue from UNESCO based upon other works completed in the past and similar reporting to UNESCO. As part of the EMP there is: (i) archaeological monitoring during construction stage, (ii) additional archeological monitoring before removal of surface materials required for constructing San Francisco station, (iii) archeological rescue and protection in case of chance finds, and (iv) building structural inspections and vibration monitoring. On a broader scale (i.e., beyond the project), the municipality developed a Historical Center Integral Restoration program which is Page 8 of 15 being implemented by the Heritage Metropolitan Institute (IMP). This program contemplates the Metro Quito project. The applicable design, Public Disclosure Copy mitigation and monitoring measures are established as part of the project EMP developed under OP 4.01. Staff of the World Heritage Center at UNESCO prepares conservation status reports and draft decisions on a yearly basis, for each site having potential issues. Such conservation status reports and draft decisions are then reviewed and voted for approval at the World Heritage Committee, which meets every year. Regarding Quito, the last conservation status report and draft decision (June 2013) do not forecast any risk of delisting the site from the World Heritage List as a result of the metro project, as the construction of a metro, per se, would not impact what is defined the Outstanding Universal Value on the basis of which the site was inscribed on the World Heritage List. Delisting the site, on the other hand, remains a risk, depending on how the project will be implemented. Hence the importance of following the EMP during construction. Indigenous Peoples OP/BP 4.10 No This policy is not triggered since the project activities will not affect indigenous peoples as defined in the policy. Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP Yes OP/BP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement is Public Disclosure Copy 4.12 triggered as a precaution in case more land is needed for stations or due to changes in project design. The client has prepared a Resettlement Policy Framework that was disclosed in country and in the Infoshop at appraisal. EPMMQ owns the land for the four inter modal surface stations. The other 11 underground stations have the entrances located in public areas. The two surface stations currently under construction are on public lands that belong to the MDMQ. No one lives currently in these areas. During 2012 prior to the Bank’s formal involvement, the MDMQ purchased a house in Plaza de San Francisco and several plots of land in Quitumbe to be used for the yards and maintenance shops for the trains. The Bank carried out a due diligence to assess if these purchases were consistent with Bank policy (OP4.12). The due diligence reviewed the process followed and the prices paid and concluded that Page 9 of 15 they were consistent with Bank policy. Detailed information is available in project files. Two dump sites have been selected: i) Quebrada Public Disclosure Copy San Pedro which land belongs to MDMQ and ii) Quebrada San Jose del Nayón, a former private quarry currently been used for dumping garbage. According to the environmental legislation the owners of the quarry need to fill up the site again in order to close down the quarry. EPMMQ will offer the dump material from the project to fill the quarry thus helping the owner to comply with the law. No purchase of land is needed for this quarry and it is not envisaged. There are more dump sites that have been identified, but no decisions have been made yet in regard to whether these will be used. Safety of Dams OP/BP 4.37 No This policy should not be triggered as the project will neither support the construction or rehabilitation of dams nor will it support other investments which rely on services of existing dams. Projects on International No This policy should not be triggered as the Waterways OP/BP 7.50 project will not finance activities involving the use or potential pollution of international waterways. Projects in Disputed Areas OP/BP No This policy should not be triggered as the 7.60 project will not finance activities in disputed Public Disclosure Copy areas as defined in the policy. II. Key Safeguard Policy Issues and Their Management A. Summary of Key Safeguard Issues 1. Describe any safeguard issues and impacts associated with the Restructured project. Identify and describe any potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts: None 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area: The potential positive long-term impacts due to the project include improved transportation, reduced traffic and reduced air emissions due to vehicles (improved air quality) thus reduced travel time, improved access to employment and quality of life, and reduced environmental health impacts. Indirectly these should lead to improved productivity and land use management. Estimates of demand/usage are approximately 356,000 in 2016 (approximately 36,000 of which would not use their car and 311,000 existing public transport) and 538,000 in 2020. The project may indirectly lead to micro-economic develop around/near the metro stations and changes to existing bus lines. 3. Describe any project alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. Page 10 of 15 Three types of alternative analysis were performed: alternatives of transport, site/route alternative, and construction design alternatives. An alternative analysis was performed to determine the appropriate mass transit system to meet future demand given the city characteristics. Public Disclosure Copy The main alternatives included a zero alternative (continuing with the same transport system), use of conventional buses, rapid bus system on segregated lanes or BRT, light rail and trams, and rapid transit system or metro system. The analysis clearly concluded that the subway or metro is the only option, from among the mass transit systems, capable of becoming the central and structuring axis of an integrated mass transit system the IMTS, transporting passenger volumes at the speeds required and desired in the city of Quito especially given projected demand. It would not occupy the current road space nor paralyze traffic in large parts of the city during its development and construction phase. For the metro route selection analysis, a total of 12 alternative routes were initially identified and assessed. Three routes were then selected for a detailed analysis using the following criteria: demand characteristics (location of centralities and administration / services concentrations; present and future nodes generating personal mobility and transport demand), geo-engineering (geomorphological safety and feasibility, geological / geotechnical / subsurface tectonics and seismic and hydrogeological condition); topographical limitations and geographical accidents of geometric and constructive effect, infrastructure (telecommunications, drinking water and sewer networks; civil constructions, existing and projected public works; city road system and articulation of current transport network, urban space (equipment, urban development and housing growth trend; design Limitations like minimum radii, transition curves, minimum lengths of straight sections, etc.; availability of physical space for the location and construction of stations, workshops and garages of the first line of the Metro de Quito; interconnectivity requirements of future enlargements of the first line of the Metro de Quito, and environmental, social and heritage aspects (identification and assessment of potential impacts on the environment, and social and heritage elements of the city; identification and assessment of environmental and operational risks; areas of possible expropriation). After studying and analyzing each of the alternatives in terms of Public Disclosure Copy the physical, biotic and socio-cultural characteristics of the project, of the construction methods, alternative 1 (Central) was chosen as the most viable both for now and the future, considering the demand for mass transit service and the restructuring of the current transport system in the city of Quito, as well as the possibility of the construction of Metro lines in the future that complement and further improve mass transit. The project design included analysis of alternatives to help reduce potential environmental impacts. For example, the selected design will utilize conventional tunneling in the historic center of Quito in order to reduce potential impacts due to vibrations, and will not use the San Francisco station to remove tunnel spoils (soil) to eliminate project-associated truck traffic. The exact station locations have been slightly alternated (e.g., Ejido and Alameda) to reduce impacts on trees of patrimonial importance. 4. Describe measures taken by the borrower to address safeguard policy issues. Provide an assessment of borrower capacity to plan and implement the measures described. The Metropolitan District of Quito created a public company “Metropolitan Subway Empresa Pública Metropolitana Metro de Quito� (EPMMQ), under whose responsibility is all processes aimed at the conceptualization, planning, development and engineering studies, implementation, operation and maintenance of the metro line in Quito. The project EIA includes an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which presents mitigation Page 11 of 15 and monitoring measures for each project phases (design, construction, operation and maintenance, and closing) and EPMMQ has developed an Environmental and Social Management Plan (EMP) that builds upon the EMP and further develops various environmental, social, and Public Disclosure Copy health and safety aspects. EPMMQ has established the Department of Social Responsibility, which is responsible for environmental, social and health and safety. The department includes a manager and four areas (presently one staff per area): environment, social, health and safety, and cultural resources. The main responsibilities include: design, implement and maintain policies; supervision and inspection; and training. Additional support is provided by outside consultants related to specific technical areas or needs. Other EPMMQ staff provide input and assistance to certain technical aspects, such as project design, interagency arrangements, public consultation. Various components of EMP will be implemented by the project construction company, as established in the EMP. EPMMQ will hire an independent consulting company to monitor and supervision environmental, health and safety aspects in project construction. They will also contract, per the project environmental license, for an annual independent environmental audit by independent third party under terms of reference and selection approved by the Ministry of Environment. In order to have a more effective implementation of the EMP, EPMMQ has established formal (e.g., convenios) and informal arrangements with various other public agencies/institutions, such as Secretaría de Movilidad del DMQ related to traffic management, Instituto Metropolitano de Patrimonio related to cultural resources and Quito historical center, Secretaría de Ambiente del DMQ related to environmental regulatory compliance, and EPMAS and EPMMOP related to soil disposal and waste disposal. The Ministry of Environment was the responsible agency for issuing the project Environmental License and is responsible subsequent supervision. The Ministry of Labor is responsible for worker health and safety regulatory compliance. Environmental supervision/performance monitoring will include: (i) environmental, health and safety monitoring and reporting by construction contractor, who by contract must have designated environmental and health safety managers; (ii) environmental, health and safety supervision of Public Disclosure Copy construction works by an independent consultant firm reporting to EPMMQ; (iii) supervision by EPMMQ; (iv) supervision by Ministry of Environment regarding compliance with EMP and environmental regulatory requirements; (v) supervision by Ministry of Labor related to worker safety; and (vi) performance of an annual environmental audit by independent third party under terms of reference and selection approved by the Ministry of Environment. EPMMQ is developing a plan to further strengthen the Department of Social Responsibility, in particular related to the upcoming increased demands associated with the construction of Metro Quito Phase 2 works. EPMMQ has also developed a plan to develop and implement an Integrated Management System for Environment, Social, and Health and Safety. 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanisms for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. During the development of the project design and related demand studies, various stakeholders were contacted for input. EPMMQ implemented a Social Participation Process/Plan associated with the project EIA and the Metro Quito project. This process included establishment of 19 information centers installed in various parts of the city of Quito, including the historic center. The locations of these centers allow fully coverage of the area of influence of the Metro de Quito. The draft EIA was made available to the public. Simultaneous to the operation of the Information Page 12 of 15 Centers, 9 Public Hearings were held to present and discuss the project and its EIA. Other participation mechanisms were also used, such as: website, social networks, fairs, exhibits, printout material, etc. Stakeholder/public comments provide were related to various aspects of the Public Disclosure Copy project: technical, environmental, social and heritage. Reportedly approximately 7,000 persons participated in the overall process and approximately 15,000 information bulletins distributed. The following were the main issues of interest to citizens: Technical issues - project cost, funding sources, rate, route of the Metro, station locations, construction methods, energy use, Metro’s life period, security systems in the Metro, emergency system, crossing through ravines and aquifers, etc.; Environmental issues: vibration, pollution reduction, contingency measures, safety measures, tree management, prevention programs, tailings, etc.; Social issues: safety, employment, ability to carry bicycles, hours of operation, measures to mitigate social effects, social benefits, expropriation, compensation, etc.; and Heritage issues: Plaza de San Francisco, Historic Center. The comments, concerns, suggestions of citizenship were collected in matrixes listing the answers given and links to the respective chapters of the EIA and the EMP. The PMA and PGS have identified measures for ongoing public participation. An Information and Follow-up Plan aims to implement various activities to provide information locations in which different stakeholders learn and comment on the Metro Quito project (information centers). The PGS also establishes that a Communication and Community Relations Plan will be implement, having the objectives to: inform stakeholders about the technical aspects of Quito Metro project, the benefits to the public, and the contribution in improving mobility in the city; disseminate information on activities during the construction and operational phases of the Project Metro Quito; disseminate the results of the implementation of Environmental Management Plan; establish specific communication mechanisms; and promote the participation of stakeholders in monitoring the project. The PGS also states that different conflict/complaint resolution mechanisms will be implemented. The Bank is also contributing with a grant as well as technical assistance to develop a geo-referenced ICT-based citizen feedback platform for strengthening grievance redress mechanisms and conflict resolution.
