PROJECT LOCATION AND SALIENT PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS RELEVANT TO THE SAFEGUARD ANALYSIS (IF KNOWN) The Project activities will benefit the approximately 124,475 inhabitants in the municipality of Tumaco (in the Department of Nariño) and the approximately 18,005 inhabitants in the municipality of Guapi (in the Department of Cauca), both of which are located onthe Pacific coast of Colombia. The Project activities are focused in the urban or semi-urban environments of the two municipalities.The overall area in these two Departments is characterized by a rich biodiversity and diverse topography rising from sea level to Andean geography where important rivers supplying water to 70 percent of the Colombian population begin their course. In environmental terms, the overall area includes some mangrove forests, and those near Tumaco and Guapi are important for the local economy (fishing). The municipality of Guapi, has an Environmental Zoning Study for Mangrove prepared in 2009 by the DIMAR, the Regional Autonomous Corporation of Cauca CRC and the Ministry of Environment. Based upon the existing information on the proposed Project activities, the works will not be near the mangroves areas and should not have adverse environmental effects and impacts on these ecosystems.Also near the town of Guapi is the Sanquianga National Natural Park, which is part of the subsystem of marine protected areas of Colombia. None of the Project work will be in proximity to this National Natural Park. Since the municipality of Tumaco does not have a sewerage collection network, the majority of homes use septic tanks or latrines which discharge wastewater into the soil. Wastewater from these systems contaminates the groundwater. Aquaseo has also identified contamination of the drinking water network as aresult of seepage from septic tanks and latrines into leaky water supply pipes. Even in cases where groundwater is highly saline (theislands making up Tumaco are surrounded by ocean) and not used for human consumption, a risk to human health remains through the possibility of contamination of the drinking water network in both the areas of served by the existing network and the areas that willbe served by the future network. The project envisions the following measures to mitigate risks to public health: (i) the operatorof the potable water system will carry out ongoing monitoring of drinking water quality in different network sectors, as well as measure residual chlorine, fecal coliforms, and other quality indicators; (ii) once the new sewerage network is completed, inter-domiciliary connections will be constructed and the existing septic tanks and latrines will be closed; (iii) a diagnostic study will be carried out to identify the sectors of the municipality that are most effected by The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) groundwater contamination and offer mitigation recommendations. The network will have pressure meters and access points to monitor water quality. Residents of the Municipality of Guapi use rain and river water to cope with deficient potable water service. Wells and cisterns are not widely used for domestic consumption. The operator of the drinking water system has not reported contamination of the network, though the municipality will adopt the same mitigation measures as outlined above for Tumaco to reduce risks to human health. In socioeconomic terms, the area of the Pacific Coast where both municipalities are located is characterized by high levels of poverty, violence, forced displacement and thegovernment's inability to provide basic services to the population. Poverty is evident in the lack of infrastructure, health, education, employment and large informal economy. The historical presence of armed groups such as FARC and ELN and recent emergence of new organized gangs, among other illicit actors, fuel the drug trade, illegal mining and generate an environment of violence that has led to severe human rights violations. Tumaco in particular is one of the most affected coastal areas in the country; it hosts asi gnificant amount of drug plantations and is simultaneously a city from which high numbers of people have been displaced while alsobeing the third largest recipient of forcibly displaced people nation-wide. The majority of the territory's population is afro- descendant, but there are minority indigenous populations in rural areas. The largest population groups are children and youth. The area has the highest poverty rate in the country at 65.9 percent compared to the national mean of 28.5 percent. It also has the highest extreme poverty rate in Colombia at 39.1 percent. Both municipalities lack reliable water and sanitation services, and in Guapi solid waste is disposed of in open-air locations and, on occasion, near houses or water bodies, contributing to environmental problems and posing a risk to public health. Intestinal parasitism is one of the main causes of doctor visits in Guapi and Tumaco and infant mortality rate is also much higher than the national average, with Tumaco's being twice the national infant mortality rate of Colombia. Both municipalities, particularly the island areas of Tumaco, show evidence of overpopulation and poor housing conditions, the most concerning of which is vulnerable, stilt houses located near or in water bodies. Both cities, in particular Tumaco, are exposed to risks of sea-level rise, earthquakes, tsunamis, and ensuing liquefaction. In spite of poverty levels and natural vulnerability, Tumaco remains Colombia's second largest port on the Pacific coast and an important entry point for commerce. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS SPECIALISTS ON THE TEAM Carlos Alberto Molina Prieto, Social Specialist Olga Carolina Rojas Orjuela, Environmental Specialist SAFEGUARD_TABLE 6. SAFEGUARD POLICIES TRIGGERED Safeguard Policies Triggered Explanation The Project is classified as Environmental Category A due to the two solid waste landfills; although all these projects will result in significant Environmental Assessment (OP) (BP 4.01) Yes environmental positive impacts. The remaining Project works (sub-projects) are considered to have relatively minor to moderate potential The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) environmental impacts (non-significant) that can be mitigated with relatively standard mitigation measures. Technical design studies and site selection for all civil works in Guapi, as well as the sanitation and solid waste management and some waterworks interventions in Tumaco will not be completed during project preparation. As such, the UNGRD prepared an ESMF for those works. The scope of the restructuring includes adjustment to studies and designs of the water supply and sewerage sub-projects of the municipalities of Guapi and Tumaco; however, the general objective of these sub-projects will not be modified, nor are the new activities foreseen to be significantly different than those in the ESMF approved in 2016. The ESMF will be updated to reflect current environmental and social baselines, new environmental normative and institutional context, and new communications plans that encompass the new scope and as they relate to the Indigenous Peoples Plan. It will also reflect current issues and challenges related to COVID-19, migrant and vulnerable populations, and gender, and be disclosed by November 1, 2021. Current instruments are considered sufficient to address new activities in the project’s subcomponents. As described in paragraph 20 of the Restructuring Paper, for the urban solid waste activities, the scope of the restructuring will no longer include the construction of new sanitary landfills. The proposed new solid waste management activities are covered by the Regulatory Framework described in Annex 1 of the 2016 ESMF. The new activities are expected to result in minor civil works and intervention of sites, and similarly, environmental impacts are considered to be less complex and lower in magnitude, predictable and expected to be temporary and reversible than the original activities before restructuring. Project activities will require the formulation of environmental management instruments established in the ESMF; prior to implementation, a No Objection from the The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) World Bank will be needed. No new type of environmental or social instruments are needed for the proposed changes, and in the case of the closure of the open dump in the municipality of Guapi, the activities will be developed applying the guidelines established in Annex 8 of the ESMF called "Closure and Closure of Landfills." The ESMF includes: (i) baseline data; (ii) policy, legal, and institutional framework; (iii) analysis of alternatives and identification of environmental impacts; (iv) an environmental screening framework; (v) environmental management measures; and (vi) measures for control and supervision of sub-projects by the PIU. The ESMF annexes detail the procedures for complying with environmental safeguards throughout the implementation of the Project, including the eventual preparation of Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), applicable for two municipal waste sub-projects (landfills), and other Environmental Management Plans for the other sub-projects instruments. The ESIAs for the two landfill sub-projects will comply with OP/BP 4.01 requirements for Category A projects,be based upon the final designs to be developed by pending technical studies (e.g., waste management plan) and will include analysis for alternative locations and/or designs, environmental management plan, and stakeholder participation (information disclosure and stakeholder consultation). The ESMF also enumerates the environmental instruments that require a no objection from the Bank. Tables 4 and 5 present a summary of environmental instruments for specific sub-projects. In accordance with the ESMF, in Guapi, EMCASERVICIOS, the departmental water company, is undertaking feasibility studies to define a cost effective solid waste management solution that is socially and environmentally viable, taking into consideration water demand management, appropriate technology, and land availability. In Tumaco, the MVCT is undertaking a wastewater master plan and solid waste management studies. An EMP was prepared for completed detailed designs for six waterworks activities in Tumaco. The The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) sub-projects include (i) construction of 5.5 km of a 20-inch raw water main; (ii) construction of 2.5 km of a 20-inch raw water main to replace the existing water main from the water intake structure to the water treatment plant; (iii) improvements to the existing potable water treatment plant; (iv) construction of main distribution system for the Zona Continental; (v) construction of distribution networks for the Zona Continental Phase I; and (vi) construction of distribution networks for the Zona Continental Phase II. These works are non- significant impacts. The UNGRD has disclosed the EMP and performed consultations of the EMP. The ESMF/EMP identified potential environmental risks during the construction phase, such as disruptions to traffic and noise associated with construction machinery and activities; possible impacts on water bodies associated to earthworks and wastewater generated from construction activities; emissions of particulate matter by earthworks and removal of vegetation cover; community resistant from land acquisition and installation of water metering. The impacts during construction phase will be temporary while works are carried out. During the operation phase, the potential risks include unpleasant odors and noise from the operation of sanitation facilities; inadequate sludge management and wastewater effluent discharges; possible impacts on surface and/or ground water due to leachate generation and waste disposal on the ground; possible ground water or aquifer contamination due to failure of landfill liner system; and possible social conflicts from potential tariff increase and volumetric billing and existing waste pickers in Tumaco. All Project adverse impacts are expected to be managed with known technology, good practices and management solutions. The wastewater facilities are relatively small with a 0.13 m3/s design flow for Tumaco and a 0.05 m3/s design flow for Guapi. Furthermore, national and regional environmental institutions and regulations provide assurance for the compliance of environmental measures identified for the Project. Related to existing asbestos cement water supply pipes, no new pipes purchased will contain asbestos, as per current The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) legislation. The Project expects a generation of about 5 m3 of asbestos cement waste from pipe handling in the water intake structure and drinking water plant in Tumaco. Therefore, the ESMF (annex) and the subsequent sub-project EMP include management measures for the removal, packaging, transportation and disposal of existing asbestos waste. The closure of the existing Buchelly landfill (Tumaco) and the Temuey Landfill (Guapi) are neither included in the Project nor are they considered associated activities. Guapi and Tumaco are considered small towns and, are located in somewhat isolated areas where large-scale manufacturing and agricultural industries are not present. The Project only expects management of municipal waste and not hazardous waste. Municipal solid waste production in Tumaco is estimated at 72 tons/day and in Guapi 8.5 tons/day. Nevertheless, the Colombian solid waste regulation (Decree 4741 of 2005) prohibits the introduction of hazardous waste in municipal solid waste landfills and only allows the management of hazardous waste to specialized and certified operators. The EMP and ESMF include measures and guidelines to manage hazardous waste, including a list of specialized and certified companies, in particular if required during the construction phase. Complete drafts of the ESMF and EMP have been disclosed on the World Bank's external website and were published on the UNGRD's website on February 2 and May 5, 2016, respectively. The UNGRD held meetings to present the draft ESMF to national authorities in December 2015, to local and regional authorities in January 2016. The UNGRD conducted similar meetings to share the environmental instruments with civil society and the private sector in Guapi and Tumaco in March 2016. The current version of the instruments incorporates feedback from consultation meetings. A workshop to present and gather stakeholder feedback on the EMP the six waterworks sub- projects were conducted in Tumaco in July 2016; The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) the document was subsequently updated to incorporate feedback. As mentioned in previous paragraphs, and updated version of the ESMF will be disclosed by November 1, 2021. Water quality standards will follow the WBG's EHS Guidelines. Supervision reports and monitoring results will be disclosed to the public in the PIU website as well as in the municipalities websites. In 2020, alignment with the guidelines established with the Ministry of Housing, City and Territory and in response to the conclusions and proposals resulting from in the supervision missions of loan 8649-CO, the proposal for the restructuring of said loan was requested. The scope of the restructuring includes the adjustment of studies and designs of the aqueduct and sewer sub-projects of the municipality of Guapi and the District of San Andres de Tumaco; however, the general objective of the same is not modified, nor the activities foreseen in the Environmental and Social Management Framework approved in 2016. Regarding the urban solid waste component, the scope of the restructuring foresees no construction of new sanitary landfills, directing resources in: (i) Guapi to the implementation of projects for the use of organic and inorganic solid waste, implementation of the Urban Environmental Restoration Plan for the sector called "Phase I sewerage Guapi", delivery of machinery and equipment for compaction and the closure of the open dump called "El Olímpico" and (ii) In San Andrés de Tumaco to the optimization of the current Landfill called "Buchelli", acquisition of compacting vehicle for the improvement of the provision of the sanitation service and implementation of the Social Inclusion Plan for recyclers. The new activities are expected to result in minor civil works and intervention of sites, and similarly, environmental impacts are considered to be less complex and lower in magnitude, predictable and expected to be temporary and reversible than the original activities before restructuration. In conclusion, for the aqueduct and sewage sub- projects, both in Guapi and San Andres de Tumaco, The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) no changes are foreseen in the scope and purpose of the works; the activities and environmental impacts remain in line with what was proposed and evaluated in the Program's Environmental and Social Management Framework; also, in relation to the environmental management instruments defined in the Project's Environmental and Social Management Framework, taking into account that no additional environmental impacts are identified in addition to those already declared, no new instruments need to be defined or adopted. The closure of the open dump called "El Olímpico" will implement the management measures and guidelines established in Annex 8 of the Project's Environmental and Social Management Framework. In addition, an Environmental and Social Management Plan will be developed and implemented for landfill closure activities, in accordance with Annex 7 of the ESMF. In the solid waste component, it should be noted that the associated environmental impacts are less than those foreseen in the Project's Environmental and Social Management Framework, taking into account that no new landfills will be built in any of the municipalities; consequently, the activities to be developed are covered by the Regulatory Framework described in Annex 1 of the ESMF and with the safeguards activated. No new environmental instruments are required, and in the case of the closure of the open-pit landfill in the municipality of Guapi, the activities will be developed applying the guidelines established in Annex 8 of the ESMF called "Closure and Decommissioning of Landfills". Social Aspects The UNGRD conducted a social assessment to establish baseline social conditions in the urban cores of the municipalities of Guapi and Tumaco. The instrument identifies potential social impacts of the proposed project and offers guidance on the application of these safeguards policies, including citizen participation, complaint mechanisms, and gender mainstreaming. The complete draft social assessment incorporates stakeholder feedback The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) received and was disclosed on the UNGRD website on February 15, 2016 and the final version was disclosed on August 22, 2016. A revised version was disclosed on October 13, 2016. The ESMF of the Project contemplates information, communication, and participation strategies, structured in an Information, Communication and Participation Plan - PIPC. The ESMF will be updated to include communication aspects as they relate to the new scope of the project’s subcomponents, and in correspondence to the Plan for Indigenous Peoples. Aspects relating to the prevention and care of communities regarding gender-based violence and discrimination are included in the Women Taking Care of the Territory Programme and should be included by construction contractors in their social management plans. In addition, and according to Colombian law, it is mandatory to establish codes of conduct for employees and workers that include gender violence and discrimination issues. Concerning child labor, it is extensively regulated in the Constitution (1991), the Labour Code (2011), and the Children and Adolescents Act (2006), and is in line with the World Bank’s guidelines. The UNGRD has put the following measures in place based on the findings in the social assessment: The project would finance the implementation of a Social Inclusion Plan for the informal waste pickers that might be attracted to the new landfill. Said social inclusion plan can also be used by the Borrower for informal waste pickers at existing landfills, even though those landfills are not part of the Project. The social inclusion plan entails an assessment of the population involved in recycling activities, analyzes alternatives for performing permitted economic activities under Colombian law, and includes the improvement of the labor, health, and security conditions of informal recyclers. The UNGRD prepared an ICPP to promote sustained engagement between the community, the municipal governments, and implementing agency the over the course of project preparation and implementation. The plan addresses issues identified in the social assessment, including low The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) levels of citizen trust in government institutions owing to a lengthy history of inadequate responses to social and economic challenges in both municipalities. This plan has been shared with stakeholders and the final version was disclosed on the UNGRD website on February 15, 2016. The GRM mechanism of the Project is described in the Information, Communication and Participation Plan - PIPC, in addition to being available through traditional channels like physical mail sent to the PIU headquarters and the local headquarters of the municipalities of Guapi and Tumaco; an e-mail and telephone lines are available. There is also a suggestion box that is moved to the places where meetings of the Project and the team make use of a log for the daily registration of the residents' concerns. The PQRSD mechanism is handled directly by the PIU and has been widely disseminated; likewise, each contractor must implement and disseminate a GRM mechanism in the area where they work. The reception and timely response protocols of the GRM adjust to the times and forms of established in Colombian legislation. Also, The Plan for Indigenous Peoples provides for a GRM mechanism, with a procedure that includes elements to ensure culturally appropriate care involving care in traditional languages. Performance Standards for Private Sector No This policy is not triggered Activities OP/BP 4.03 While no significant negative impacts on natural habitats, including in particular mangroves, are anticipated by project works, this policy is triggered given the types of works and the potential locations and associated environmental conditions. National environmental regulations restrict infrastructure works in protected areas. Regional autonomous corporations (CARs) will verify that Natural Habitats (OP) (BP 4.04) Yes the construction and operation of potable water and sanitation infrastructure does not unduly impact protected areas or sensitive ecosystems (based on decree number 1076 of 2015). Additionally, the Environmental Management Framework includes an annex that establishes environmental criteria for the location of civil works and clearly outlines relevant restrictions. Regional autonomous corporations (CARs) also verify The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) compliance with wastewater discharge permits as well as proposed sites and impacts of sewerage systems and wastewater treatment plants. The policy is triggered because mangrove forests are present in Guapi and Tumaco. However, the design of the project will be made in such a way to prevent any adverse impacts on the mangrove or any other forests through proper site selection. Decree number 1076of 2015 restricts the construction of infrastructure works in protected Forests (OP) (BP 4.36) Yes areas or sensitive ecosystems. The Environmental Management Framework includes an annex that establishes environmental criteria for the location of civil works and clearly outlines relevant restrictions. The environmental assessment and management will be part of instruments developed under OP/BP 4.01. This safeguard will not be triggered as no pesticides Pest Management (OP 4.09) No will be used and the Project will not lead to increased/changed use of pesticides. This safeguard is only triggered in a preventive manner. Based on a preliminary assessment it is unlikely that physical cultural resources would be found in the areas directly affected by the Project sub-projects. In the case of the six waterworks sub- projects in Tumaco, all works will take place along Physical Cultural Resources (OP) (BP 4.11) Yes existing roadways in urban areas. As a precaution, the ESMF includes measures for chance finds. As part of the project’s activities, the civil works will be develop training on chance finds and implementing the chance finds in case will be necessary. In the original activities, the Project would only be implemented in urban areas of the municipalities and screening conducted by the team confirmed that there are no indigenous peoples present in the Project area. However, some of the proposed activities upon restructuring are located in rural Indigenous Peoples (OP) (BP 4.10) Yes areas inhabited by indigenous groups. An Indigenous Peoples Plan (Indigenous Peoples and Afro-Colombian Communities Plan) has been reviewed and approved by the regional safeguards team. The final IPP was received by the Bank on The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) December 1, 2020 and published on the UNGRD’s website on the same date (http://portal.gestiondelriesgo.gov.co/todossomos pazcifico/SitePages/Gestion-Ambiental-y- Social.aspx). The main activity relevant to this safeguard is the construction of water and sanitation works in the two municipalities. Although the Project has not identified concrete land acquisition at the moment, this safeguard is triggered taking into consideration the future possibility of land requirements for the location and construction of pumping stations and other infrastructure. A Resettlement Policy Framework for both municipalities has been developed as a precaution. The UNGRD held meetings to present the Resettlement Policy Framework to national Involuntary Resettlement (OP) (BP 4.12) Yes authorities in December 2015 and to local authorities in January 2016. The UNGRD held workshops to present the RPF in the municipalities of Tumaco and Guapi on February 18 and March 3, 2016, and share the scope of the proposed Project with beneficiaries, civil society, and other interested parties. Communities were very supportive of the proposed Project. The complete draft framework has been consulted, and a final version was published on the UNGRD website on February 15, 2016. A revised version has been disclosed on October 13, 2016. The Project will neither support the construction or rehabilitation of dams nor will it support other Safety of Dams (OP) (BP 4.37) No investments which rely on the performance of existing dams. As per paragraph 1(a) of OP 7.50, the Project triggers OP 7.50 since activities described in Component 2 (Tumaco) involve the Mira River that flows through Ecuador and Colombia. The Project will be implemented within Colombia in a section of the river that is about 55 km downstream of the Projects on International Waterways (OP) Ecuador boundary. Yes (BP 7.50) The existing Tumaco water supply system extracts raw water from the Mira River through an intake structure constructed in 2012. The intake structure has an installed capacity of 350 l/s to meet the projected 2023 water demand and has physical capacity to expand to 550 l/s to meet the projected The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) 2041 water demand. The Municipality of Tumaco has a water withdrawal authorization for the Mira River of 550 l/s to take into account future demands. The River Mira watershed receives a high average annual rainfall of approximately 4,000 mm, typical of the Pacific Region. The Mira River is considered a large river with an annual average capacity 870 m3/s, with a maximum of 1,105 m3/s and a minimum of 534 m3/s, close to the intake structure. The withdrawal of 350 l/s in the Mira River represents about 0.07 percent of the river minimum flow during dry weather. As the water supply works in Tumaco involve additions and alterations to an ongoing water scheme that (i) will not adversely change the quality or quantity of the water flows to the other riparians; and (ii) will not be adversely affected by the other riparians' possible water use, the proposed Project falls within the exception set forth in paragraph 7(a) of OP 7.50, which was approved by the RVP. The works to be financed are located on the furthest downstream part of the river; and as a result, the proposed works will not adversely change the quality or quantity of the river section in Ecuador. Furthermore, the Project will not increase water withdrawal from what it is currently designed and permitted. Works will not be adversely affected by Ecuador's possible water use because of high rainfall in the area and large river flows in the Mira River. The water works are considered minor additions or alterations to the ongoing scheme to improve coverage, efficiency and service quality. According to national regulations, withdrawal permit is maintained because estimated withdrawal will not increase. In addition, the proposed works do not require notification to Ecuador according to international water regulation in Colombia. The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) Regarding with the discharge will be generated by the wastewater treatment plant for Tumaco, part of Component 2 of the project. In the original design, the treated discharge was set to go into the Pacific Ocean and/or in tidal channels between the continental area and the Pacific Ocean; at that time the exception that applied was 7 (a) (“will not adversely change the quality or quantity of water flows to other riparians). Then the project design changed with the wastewater intended to be discharged into the “Estero medio�, a Delta Area in the most downstream stretch of the Mira River in Colombia. Recording the hydrology of the discharge point, it was noted that this point is within the Tumaco Bay, which is fully in Colombian territory. On May, 2020, LEGEN have determined, that the location of the discharge point of the WWTP in the estero medio is rather part of an inland arm of the bay, hence forming still part of the Mira river; since the bay is entirely located in Colombian territory, there is no need for an addendum to the exception memo. The design is still covered by the first memo that was done for this project. The Project will not finance activities in disputed Projects in Disputed Areas (OP) (BP 7.60) No areas as defined in the policy. KEY_POLICY_TABLE 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. The proposed Project is designed to generate positive long term impacts for the Municipalities of Guapi and Tumaco. The water and sanitation works that will be built in the municipalities of Tumaco and Guapi will bring important benefits for public health, economic growth, and the territory's environmental sustainability primarily through: (i) the elimination of latrines and septic pits that contaminate surface water, groundwater sources and drinking water networks, (ii) by eliminating the discharge of untreated municipal wastewaters to surface water sources and beaches, (iii) increasing coverage and improving quality of drinking water systems, and (iv) assisting in eliminating the practice of burying garbage in urban areas and public roadways. There are no anticipated large scale, significant or irreversible negative environmental impacts associated with the project. The project does not contemplate new components in the restructuring. yet considers two works that could indirectly affect territories of ethnic communities. In the municipality of Tumaco, the works for the abstraction of water and the location of the line of adduction of the aqueduct contemplated in Phase 1 adjoin the area of the collective territory The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) of the Community Council Under Sight and Border formed by the sidewalks of Bucheli, Brisas del Acueducto, Nueva Reforma, Descolgadero and Guapin. Iin the municipality of Guapi, the works for the improvement and optimization of the transient solid waste cell of the Temuey sidewalk adjoin the Nuevo Bellavista and Partidero Indigenous Reservation of the Eperara Siapidara People and the Community Council of Black Communities Guapi Abajo. In the meaningful consultations carried out with the communities, the Project's activities have been evaluated and it was concluded that the impacts are fundamentally beneficial. In Guapi, the ethnic communities expect the planned works to contribute to the proper management of the solid waste and reduce pollutants to the Guapi river, the local water source. In Tumaco, access to safe drinking water for ethnic communities is expected, and they hope to access social and economic benefits to be defined, agreed, and concretized with the PIU and contractors, in response to the needs in the territory. 2. Describe any potential indirect and/or long term impacts due to anticipated future activities in the project area. As indicated above, the long term environmental impact of the Project is expected to be positive. Future risks depend in large parton adequate operation of the WSBS facilities. To that end, the Project also include capacity building and institutional strengthening of service operators in Guapi and Tumaco, as described in Component 3, and Component 1 also includes knowledge transferring from the contractor to the service provider (operators) and delivering of operating manuals. The Project also include analytical studies on stormwater management, non-revenue water and demand management, and on-site sludge management to improve operations and better plan for future solutions. Future land use changes or growth of the urban footprint, including migration dynamics or economic activity driven by the peace process, could change the demands on the WSBS infrastructure to be financed. Such developments are beyond the scope of this project, though have been taken into account in the preparation of strategic planning instruments by Municipal and Departmental authorities. In particular, Tumaco's land use plan includes the Nuevo Tumaco sector as an area of growth due to its low disaster risk profile. Tumaco's drinking water infrastructure program includes works in this area, and the wastewater master plan is also considering Nuevo Tumaco as a potential area of growth. The Project is financing some waterworks in Nuevo Tumaco to support water services in this area. 3. Describe any potential alternatives (if relevant) considered to help avoid or minimize adverse impacts. Alternatives to the proposed Project were considered at both the strategic level and are underway at the specific investment level for technical solutions and sites for solid waste disposal and wastewater treatment is underway, though they were not completed before Project appraisal. These technical studies include evaluation of alternatives. Given the new scope of the solid waste component, the implementation of actions aimed at the integrated management of solid waste and not only in the final disposal of solid waste is described below: - Actions for the reduction of solid waste to be disposed of; - Consultancies to design, structure and implement the organic waste treatment activity in the municipality of Guapi; - Structuring of the activity for the use of potentially recyclable waste; - Environmental restoration; - Construction of the urban environmental restoration center – CRAU; and - Studies, designs and works for the closure of the open dump in the Olímpico neighborhood. (Current final disposal site). The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) The activities to be executed in the component are within the scope defined in the Integral Management of Urban Solid Waste, excluding the construction of a solid waste final disposal site. Solid waste management activities include the construction of infrastructure for the classification, collection and dispatch of organic and usable solid waste; activities for the technical closure of the municipality's open dump and the implementation of the Urban Environmental Restoration Plan for 1.5 kilometers of roads in the municipality. The component does not include the construction of a new site for the final disposal of urban solid waste or other waste. The works will be carried out in areas outside the country's protected areas system. 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. As indicated in Section B, the UNGRD, as PIU, with support of other national technical agencies and consultants has prepared an ESMF that provides guidance on a range of activities that can generate environmental and social impacts during the construction phase, including removal of vegetation; demotion and excavation; excavation of contaminated solid waste; construction materials; groundwater usage; construction staging areas; and special procedures for activities in stilt house areas. The operational and maintenance phase implies a distinct set of potential social and environmental impacts. The ESMF identifies potential risks and mitigation techniques to incorporate at the design stage, including buffers zones around drinking water and wastewater treatment plants to lessen the impact of noise and odors, as well as the selection of technologies and equipment. The PIU also led the preparation of other social and environmental instruments, including the EMP for six waterworks activities in Tumaco, the RFP, SIP and ICPP. As indicated in Section B, the UNGRD will be responsible for ensuring the application of all social and environmental safeguards policies, and has a team responsible for the enforcement of safeguards, with a leader at the central level and two social links in each of the municipalities, and the support of the contract supervisor, guidance of the technical committee, and coordination support from Gerencia Pacífico. All bidding documents and contracts for works, goods and consulting services financed by the Project will incorporate environmental and social requirements, including, inter alia, compliance with environmental and social management plans; construction health and safety; required environmental licenses and authorizations from Regional Environmental Authorities (CARs); and the preparation of environmental performance reports. Environmental monitoring will include (i) environmental monitoring and reporting by construction contractor, (ii) environmental supervision of construction works by independent consultants, and (iii) supervision by UNGRD environmental staff. Section B of this document and Chapter 7 of the ESMF indicate the roles and responsibilities of the different entities for monitoring, tracking and monitoring of the environmental and social aspects of the Project. These arrangements have been assessed to be adequate for compliance with Bank and Colombian norms. To further strengthen capacities, the Project will provide technical assistance for the PIU, municipalities, contractors and operators, and the Bank will closely supervise the application of safeguards policies. 5. Identify the key stakeholders and describe the mechanism for consultation and disclosure on safeguard policies, with an emphasis on potentially affected people. Key stakeholders include residents of the urban cores of the Municipalities of Guapi and Tumaco, where the proposed Project will finance investments, and relevant local, departmental, and national level authorities who are responsible for crafting and implementing government policy in these areas. The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) The UNGRD began the consultation process with key stakeholders for the Environmental ManagementFramework, sub-project Environmental Management Plans, and social instruments—social assessment, RPF, SIP, and ICPP— developed for the proposed Project in late 2015, and the process has informed the development and finalization of these documents. The first round of consultation on the draft ESMF and EMP took place in Bogota on December 17, 2015 and included the following national level participants: - Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development - Ministry of Housing, City, and Territory - National Planning Department Based the feedback from the consultations, language regarding the preparation of terms of reference for the EIAs to be prepared for the landfills was updated to reflect guidance from the Ministry of Environment and Development. The consultation meeting also discussed the analysis of site selection study, which is no longer a requirement under Colombian norms, though will be conducted in compliance with Bank norms for Category A projects. During the consultations no other significant observations were voiced concerning the draft instruments, and the instruments were considered adequate by the authorities present. At the municipal level in Tumaco, a workshop covering the draft ESMF was carried out on January 19, 2016, and subsequent workshop was help on July 18, 2016, to cover the draft ESMF, that included participants from the Mayor's Office, Office of City Planning, Aguas de Tumaco (public serviceentity), Aquaseo (specialized operator), CORPONARINO (environmental authority), and Departmental Government of Nariño. Similar consultations were undertaken in Guapi for the ESMF on January 18, 2016 that included participants from the Mayor's Office, Office ofCity Planning, EMCASERVICIOS, Corporacion Regional de Cauca (environmental authority), and the Departmental Government of Cauca. Themayors of both Municipalities, inaugurated in January 2016, expressed strong support for the Project. The main topics raised by thecommunity and by local authorities during the municipal level consultations related to the scope of the works to be carried out andthe supervision thereof. The UNGRD, with support from mayors, held public consultation meetings in February and March 2016 in Tumaco and Guapi, respectively, to elicit feedback on the draft ESMF that included participants from the Mayor's Office, community members, civil society, public sector employees, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. Local residents and key stakeholders were similarly supportive of the Project and indicated that they hoped to see the timely completion of the works, particularly in light of a perception that previous public works projects have been promised but not delivered. The government expressed a high level of commitment to complete the WSBS works in both municipalities, and that the UNGRD would actively monitor progress in coordination with the construction supervisor (interventor integrado). The Government will make hard copies of relevant safeguardsdocuments available at an accessible location for project affected people. As per Pelosi Amendment requirements, all draft safeguards instruments were disclosed in-country and on the Bank's external website at least 120 days before Board date. An English-language Executive Summary of the Environmental The World Bank RESTRUCTURING ISDS CO Plan PAZcifico:Water Supply and Basic Sanitation Infrastructure and Service Delivery Project (P156239) Management Framework and Social Safeguards Instruments was submitted to the World Bank's Board of Directors on May 10, 2016. The current versions of the instruments (ESMF, etc.) incorporate feedback from consultation meetings. All social and environmental instruments, as well as reports from the consultations, have been made available on the UNGRD website: http://repositorio.gestiondelriesgo.gov.co/handle/20.500.11762/20013. The ESMF will be updated to reflect current environmental and social baselines, new legislation, and new communications plans that encompass the new scope and as they relate to the Indigenous Peoples Plan, and disclosed by November 1, 2021. The preparation of the Plan for Indigenous Peoples began in 2019. Taking into account that for the last phase of meaningful consultations during October 2020, there were restrictions by Covid 19, face-to-face meetings were held with authorities and representatives of ethnic communities with strict biosafety protocols and following the guidelines of the Bank’s Technical Note " Public Consultations and Stakeholder Engagement in WB-supported operations when there are constraints on conducting public meetings, March 20, 2020.� DISCLOSURE_TABLE B.
