E4569 REV MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION THE NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PROJECT Environmental Management Framework (EMF) Procedures and mechanisms for enforcement of environmental safety measures in accordance with the requirements of the Russian legislation and the World Bank MOSCOW, 2014 1 Introduction The Project “The National Urban Transport Improvement Project” (hereafter, Project) financed by the Government of the Russian Federation (GORF) with the loan of IBRD, aims to help the GORF achieve sustainable and equitable urban transport conditions. The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Transport of the RF in the three pilot cities: Saint Petersburg (large city), Lipetsk (medium-sized city) and Balashikha (smaller city). This document describes procedures and mechanisms to be implemented to ensure environmental compliance of the project with Russian legislation and IBRD requirements. First of all, consideration is given to local and federal environmental legislation and its application in projects, regulations and instructions covering preparation and implementation of environmental protection sections. Detailed guidelines are provided to the project implementation unit (hereafter, PIU) staff and subcontractors for environmental control, assessment and monitoring. Herewith, each three pilot projects shall be considered and assessed individually. The activities to be financed under the project would involve mostly small-scale construction (i.e. parking machines, information stands, road signs, minor adjustment of alignment to arrange bus stops/pockets, crossings, etc.) and will not result in significant or irreversible negative environmental impacts. The investment preparation phase shall include environmental assessment. Bidding documents and contracts shall contain project-specific environmental mitigation activities and associated costs. Environmental Regulatory Framework. The Russian environmental assessment system is based on a legal framework of the Federal Law #7 FZ “On the Environmental Protection”, 10. 01. 2002, # 174 FZ “On Environmental Expert Review”, 23.11.1995. Pursuant to applicable federal legislation, responsibility for environmental management is divided in Russia between the government of the Russian Federation and regional governments. Environmental expert review and environmental impact assessment are conducted within the regulatory framework. Information on requirements of the legislation of the RF is contained in Annex 1. Description of the sub-projects in Saint Petersburg, Lipetsk, and Balashikha. The project includes the three pilot cities –Saint-Petersburg, Lipetsk, and Balashikha.

Environmental Screening, Environmental Assessment and Environmental Management Potential environmental impacts. Investments are not expected to cause adverse environmental and social impacts. They are expected to have rather positive effect due to the reduction of emissions from motor transport and due to traffic arrangement (reduction of the number of traffic jams) and improvement, and switch to usage of public transport by citizen. Planned investments may cause minor potential environmental impact, particularly:  Site specific vehicular traffic  Increase in dust, air emissions and noise from demolition and/or construction and installation of small-scale transport infrastructure facilities  Generation of small volumes of construction waste  Small-scale excavation for arrangement of parking machines, bus shelters, stopping pockets, etc.  Risk of accidents and injuries at the construction site  Removal and disposal of small volumes of construction waste (minor earth works, demolition), and disposal/demolition of outdated public transport stock (including toxic and/or hazardous waste)  Storage of small quantities of machine oils and lubricants  Utilization and/or secondary use of usable details and parts  Minor disturbance of local recreation areas  Minor disturbance of vegetation (individual trees) 5 These impacts are minor and/or the risk of them occurring is low. They will be manageable during project implementation with tested standard technology and with application of good housekeeping and construction practices. The key mitigation measures Key mitigation measures include, but are not limited to the following measures: 1. The local construction and environment inspectorates and communities have been notified of upcoming activities. 2. All legally required permits have been acquired for construction and/or rehabilitation. 3. All works will be carried out in a safe and disciplined manner designed to minimize impacts on neighboring residents and environment. 4. Dust screens, particularly at high value tourist locations; dust suppression (watering of the area and covering the transported soil and construction waste). 5. Air emissions (including GHG) from mobile pollution sources must meet existing standards. 6. Construction noise will be limited to restricted times agreed to in the permit and/or meet standards, or as agreed with public and authorities. 7. Waste collection and disposal pathways and sites will be identified for all major waste types expected from demolition, ground excavation and construction activities. 8. If the project works are carried out nearby the designated historic building or in a designated historic district, notification shall be made and approvals/permits be obtained from local and/or federal authorities and all construction activities planned and carried out in line with local and national legislation. Physical Cultural Resources Actin Plan will be prepared if activities are to be implemented within protecction zones for cultural heritge objects of St. Petersburg. 9. Temporarily storage on site of all hazardous or toxic substances will be in safe containers labeled with details of composition, properties and handling information based on the national and regional regulations. 10. The wastes shall be transported by specially licensed carriers and disposed in a licensed facility. 11. A survey and an inventory shall be made of large trees in the vicinity of the construction activity, large trees shall be marked and cordoned off with fencing, their root system protected, and any damage to the trees avoided. 12. If there is no opportunity to protect vegetation (or individual trees), upon agreement with appropriate Environmental protection Department: a. Relocation or planting of new trees and bushes shall be made using own resources or through contracting a specialized organization; b. The contractor will compensate the costs of the low-value vegetation/trees to be removed in compliance with established procedure,. 13. Signposting, warning signs, barriers and traffic diversions: site will be located and clearly visible and the public warned of all potential risks. 6 Environmental Categories of Expected Activities The activities to be financed under the project would involve mostly small-scale construction (i.e. bus stops, information stands, road signs, minor adjustment of alignment to arrange bus stops/ crossings, etc.) Also, the activities may involve generation of construction and other waste, potentially including hazardous waste. In case project activities are implemented in the proximity to municipal parks (Bykhanov garden, Nizhniy park, Markov public garden, Victory park), a dedicated mitigation measures will be developed in the framework of site-specific EMP Checklists. Significant part of the investments will involve procurement and introduction to operation of GIS, communication and monitoring systems, meteorological stations, and other electronic equipment and devices for traffic management, and training (Category C-type of investments). Overall, the project is assigned Environmental Category B. Environmental Screening and Assessment: The purpose of the Environmental Assessment (EA) process is to identify the specific environmental impacts of individual investments (both positive and negative) and design measures to prevent, minimize, mitigate or offset adverse impacts. a) For Category C investments no specific environmental documentation is required, as significant negative impacts are not expected. b) For Category B investments an EMP Checklist will be prepared according to the World Banks operational policy OP4.01 (see www.worldbank.org/safeguards) During project implementation the PIU/Contractors will comply with the applicable federal and local laws and regulations. In particular, they will participate in obtaining the necessary permits and licenses from relevant administrative authorities and/or control that the contractors obtain them. Draft EMP Checklists for selected municipalities are contained in Annex 2. Site-specific or investment-specific EMP Checklists will be prepared at a later stage. The information of the Draft EMP Checklists will be updated to include site-specific information. Mitigation measures should become part of the contract for works. PIU or any other engaged organization to conduct technical supervision (and, if necessary, designated state authority on environmental protection and sanitary-epidemiological control staff) shall monitor construction sites for ensuring that contractors comply with their contractual obligations, including those relating to environmental safety. In case of non-compliance, the penalties and sanctions stipulated in a contract shall be applied to contractors. Furthermore, if no other remedy exists, the contract may be suspended until alternative methods to eliminate environmentally harmful effects have been identified and appropriate activities have been carried out. Protection of Physical Cultural Resources (St. Petersburg) Due to their physical/technical nature project activities are not expected to have an impact on physical cultural resources. In case project activities take place in the historic part of St. Petersburg (central districts Admiralteisky, Vasileostrovsky, Petrogradsky, and Central), the design documentation will be reviewed and cleared by local governmental body for protection of 7 the cultural heritage. Activities to be implemented within the protection zones for the cultural heritage objects of St. Petersburg (historic buildings, monuments, etc.) shall include historical- cultural (historical-architectural and historical- town planning) master plan. In this case Physical Cultural Resources Action Plan will be prepared for specific project activities. All contracts for works will include provisions for chance finds procedure. Disclosure of Information and Public Participation This framework document will be disclosed at the web-site of Mintrans and the Infoshop of the World Bank and in the participating municipalities. EMP Checklists for specific sub-projects will be disclosed at specific project locations and public hearings/consultations organized. These public hearings will take place at least 30 days prior to works start. Public Consultations Public consultations on the Procedures and Mechanisms for Enforcement of Environmental Safety Measures in Accordance with the Requirements of the Russian Legislation and the World Bank were held in Lipetsk, St. Petersburg and Balashikha on June 6, 9 and 10, 2014, respectively. The participants approved the document and made the following proposals: For St. Petersburg:  To work with the local authorities and premises owners to organize parking in areas between buildings within the Project area, inter alia, by restricting vehicle access to such areas.  Prior to Project launch, to ensure that bidding documents include environmental provisions that would prevent any deterioration of environmental conditions and require that monitoring in the Project area be implemented at least once a year. For Balashikha:  Deterioration of environmental conditions under the Project should not be allowed;  If necessary, additional consultations shall be organized at the Project implementation stage in Balashikha; and  Further discussions of Project progress shall be held in future. In Lipetsk, the document was approved without amendments. Proceedings of the public consultations are attached as Annex 3. 8 Annex 1 Requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation Legislation of the Russian Federation The project will be required to comply with both Russian federal legislation and the World Bank’s policies applicable to this project. In the case of significant discrepancies, the more stringent of the 2 sets of requirements will prevail. The Basic Principles of the Environmental Protection in Russia (The Federal Law “On Environmental protection”, 10 January 2002 #7-FZ, Article 3) include:  the presumption of ecological threat of а planned economic and other activities;  the compulsory environmental impact assessment in case when decisions are made as to the pursuance of an economic or other activity;  the compulsory review of project designs and other documentation stating feasibility of an economic and other activity capable of exerting а negative effect on the environment, creating а threat to citizens' life, health and property;  the prohibition of an economic and another activity the environmental consequences of which cannot be predicted and of the implementation of а project capable of leading to а degradation of natural ecological systems, а change in and/or destruction of the genetic stock of plants, animals and other organisms, depletion of natural resources and other negative changes in the environment. Federal Law # 7-FZ of January 10, 2002, “On Environmental Protection” (Article 32 “Environmental impact assessment”) sets forth that: 1. Environmental impact assessment shall be undertaken for planned economic and other activities which may directly or indirectly affect the environment, regardless of organisational and legal patterns of ownership of the implementation entities for the economic and other activities. 2. Requirements to environmental impact assessment documents shall be established by federal executive authorities effecting state environmental management (Article 32: Environmental Impact Assessment). Federal Law # 174-FZ of November 23, 1995, on “Environmental Review” sets forth that comprehensive nature of environmental impact assessment of economic and other activities and their implications shall be a principle of the environmental review is (Article 3: Principles of environmental review). According to Article 14 (State Environmental Review Procedures) of the same Federal Law, the documents to be reviewed shall include reports on environment impact assessment of those economic and other activities which are subject to state environmental review. Documents on facilities to be constructed or reconstructed on lands of federal protected areas (provided construction or reconstruction of such facilities on lands of protected areas is allowed in accordance with the federal and regional legislation) shall be reviewed if the documentation submitted for review includes reports on environmental impact assessment of the facilities to be constructed, reconstructed or renovated/rehabilitated within protected areas, for the respective 9 protected areas. Moreover, opinions of non-governmental environmental reviews if such are undertaken; consultations on the facilities/sites covered with the state environmental reviews with the general public and civil society organisations (associations) and local self-governance bodies. The Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment of Economic and Other Activities in the Russian Federation was developed to implement Federal Law # 174-FZ of November 23, 1995, on Environmental Review and governs processes of environmental impact assessment of intended economic and other activities and preparation of respective documents which serve as a basis for the development of documentation to justify the scope of state environmental reviews. The Regulation on the composition of design documentation and requirements to their contend (16 February 2008 г. # 87) establishes the sections to be included in project documents and requirements to their contents and is meant to guide the preparation of project documents for various sites of capital construction as well as selected phases of construction, reconstruction and renovation/rehabilitation of capital development sites/facilities. This regulation requires an environmental management section which, in particular, should present the results of environmental impact assessment of the capital development site as well as the list of measures to prevent and/or mitigate potential adverse environmental impact of intended economic activities and to ensure sound use of natural resources during the period of construction and operation of the capital development site. The basic principles of air protection contained in the Federal Law of 04 May 1999 # 96-FZ "On Air Protection" (Article 2) establish: - that the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of air protection is entitled to include additional environmental protection requirements; - property relations arising during the implementation of activities on air protection, are regulated by the civil law; - relations related to air protection arising from the establishment of mandatory requirements for products, including buildings and facilities (hereinafter - products), or to products and related requirements for product design process (including research), manufacturing, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, storage, transportation, marketing and utilization, are regulated by the laws of the Russian Federation on technical regulation. The State expertise assesses the compliance of design documentation to technical regulation requirements (technical standards). Technical standards The admission of the Russian Federation to the international community and the adjustment of federal standards to those prescribed by the European Union and the WTO have resulted in a progressive inadequacy of the standard GOST R system, which until now has been the backbone of certification, including of production. Technical Regulation is a legal document, which defines legally binding requirements. The Technical Regulation document lays down guidelines for the producer, the exporter, the agent or the distributor in relation to a wide range of types of productions both on the territory of the Russian Federation and outside it. 10 Russian Federation is a member of the Customs Union, created on the basis of the Eurasian Economic Community. Within the framework of the Customs Union, a unified structure of technical regulation are building up. National technical regulations of the states – members of the Customs Union cease upon the overlying technical regulations of the Customs Union entry into force. The action of all national technical regulations from 1 January 2012 was terminated, then only technical regulations of the Customs Union are applicable. There are some the technical regulations related to transport sphere. They were developed based on the Russian Federal law #184-ФЗ, dated 27 December 2002 “On Technical Regulating" This Federal law regulates the relations arising during: development, adoption, application and execution of obligatory requirements for products, processes of production, operation, storage, transportation, marketing and utilization. The legislation of the Russian Federation on technical regulating consists of this Federal law, the federal laws adopted according to it and other normative legal acts of the Russian Federation. Provisions of the federal laws and other normative legal acts of the Russian Federation, regarding the sphere of application of this Federal law (including those directly or indirectly providing for control (supervision) over observance of the technical regulation requirements), shall be applied regarding their parts not contradicting to this Federal law. Federal executive bodies have the right to issue in the sphere of technical regulating only the acts of recommendatory character, except for the cases established by Article 5 of this Federal law. If the international treaty of the Russian Federation in the sphere of technical regulating establishes other rules, than those stipulated by this Federal law, then the rules of the international treaty shall be applied. And if the international treaty provides for issuing of a national act for application of the treaty, then the rules of the international treaty and the Russian Federation legislation adopted on its basis shall be applied. In the Russian Federation the road passenger transport is regulated by a number of national legislative acts, among which is the basic federal law dated November 08, 2007 № 259 -FZ "Charter of road transport and urban land- electric vehicles". That Federal Law regulates relations arising from the provision of services by road and urban ground electrical transport , which are part of the transport system of the Russian Federation, and also defines the general conditions of carriage for passengers and baggage, cargo , respectively, buses, trams , trolley buses , cars , trucks. Land and water relations arising from the withdrawal of land transport and the provision of water Transport, how they are governed land, water and transport legislation. Transport companies and carriers are obliged to use sites in accordance with the purpose and conditions of their granting, apply environmental technologies of production and prevent deterioration of the environmental situation in the territory as a result of their activities. 11 1. Federal Law No. 259-FZ of 08 November 2007 «The charter of road transport and urban above-ground electric vehicles». 2. The Russian Federation Government Decree of 12 October 2005 No.609 Technical Regulation «Requirements to Harmful (Pollutant) Substance Emissions of the Automobiles Released for Circulation in the Territory of the Russian Federation». 3. The Decision of the Commission of the Customs union dated 09 December 2011, № 877 (revision dated 30 January 2013) «Adoption of the Technical Regulation concerning Safety of Wheeled Vehicles» (along with “TR CU 018/2011 the Technical Regulation of the Commission of the Customs union Technical Regulation concerning Safety of Wheeled Vehicles”) Protection of land The Land Code of the Russian Federation (hereafter, LC of RF) decides that the use of lands should be carried out by methods providing conservation of environmental systems, abilities of land to be means of production in agriculture and forestry, a base for realization of economic and other of activities. The land protection purposes are:  Prevention of degradation, pollution, littering, erosion of land, other negative (adverse) impacts from economic activities;  Maintenance of improvement and restoration of lands, which suffered degradation, pollution, littering, erosion, and other negative (adverse) impacts from economic activities. Article 83 (LC of RF) defines, that the order of land use in populated centers is defined according to classification of their territories. The territory of a populated center within its administrative borders is divided in territorial zones. Classification documents of territories are approved and amended by regulatory legal acts of local government (land use and construction rules). Article 85 (LC of RF) states that land areas making part of industrial zones are intended for construction of industrial, municipal-warehouse and other industrial objects intended for these purposes according to town-planning regulations. Actions for minimization of impact on land resources and conservation of fertility of soils on the territory of industrial site and adjoining territories, their protection from pollution should be provided at the development of design documentation. Besides, measures on protection of industrial area from littering by production and consumption waste should be envisaged. The Land Code of the Russian Federation and the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation "On rehabilitation of lands, removal, conservation and rational use of fertile layer of land" regulate the necessity of fulfillment of special actions for use of fertile soil of land areas disturbed in the course of construction. The necessity of soil protection from pollution at realization of various kinds of activity and of monitoring of sanitary-environmental conditions of soils is regulated by Article 13 (LC of RF). 12 Flora and fauna protection At designing, construction and operation of industrial objects, it is necessary to minimize impact on natural components of the environment, including vegetation and animals, genetic conservation, subject to protection from degradation, damage and destruction. Besides, any actions, which threaten rare and endangered species of plants and animals are limited/forbidden. Environmental monitoring and industrial environmental monitoring The control in the field of environmental protection (environmental monitoring) is carried out with a view to ensure observation of legislation in the field of environmental protection, observance of requirements, including specifications and regulatory documents, and to ensure environmental safety. The legislative base for the environmental monitoring is fixed in the Federal law "On environmental protection» [1]. According to Article 64 [1], the Russian Federation carries out state, industrial, municipal and public monitoring in the field of environmental protection. The state control in the field of environmental protection (state environmental monitoring) is carried out by federal enforcement authorities and enforcement authorities of Constituents of the Russian Federation in an order established by the Government of the Russian Federation. According to the law of Moscow oblast "On environmental protection in Moscow oblast» [62], state environmental monitoring at objects of economic and other activity irrespective of the type of ownership, located on the territory of Moscow oblast, is carried out by executive bodies of the government of Moscow oblast, except for objects of economic and other activity, which are subject to the federal state environmental monitoring. The Moscow government ensures the organization of state environmental monitoring [67]. Executive bodies of the government of Moscow oblast, in the order established by the federal legislation, carry out monitoring of payment for adverse environmental impact on objects of economic and other activity, make claims about compensation of damage to the environment caused as a result of infringement of legislation in the sphere of environmental protection. The industrial monitoring in the field of environmental protection (industrial environmental monitoring), according to article 67 [1], is carried out with a view to ensure fulfillment of actions for environmental protection and rational use of natural resources in the course of economic and other activity, and also with a view to observe requirements of legislation in the field of environmental protection. According to Article 8 [62], users of natural resources are obliged to submit data on persons responsible for carrying out of the industrial environmental monitoring, on the organization of environmental services on objects of economic and other activity, and also results of industrial environmental monitoring to the authorized central executive body of the Government of Moscow oblast in the sphere of environmental protection, which carry out state environmental monitoring. According to regulatory requirements of the Russian environmental legal acts, main objectives of the industrial-environmental monitoring are:  Reception of authentic quantitative evaluation of the environment impact of the enterprise; 13  Forecast of development and prevention of environmental emergencies;  Timely submission of authentic information to the administration for preparation of administrative decisions for maintenance of safe functioning;  Substantiation and optimization of volume of carried out observation over sources of anthropogenous impact and environmental pollution taking into account particular conditions of location of the enterprise and state of the environment. The tasks of the industrial environmental monitoring at enterprises are:  Regular observation and monitoring of parameters and characteristics of chemical and physical environmental impact as a result of industrial and economic activities of the enterprise:  Monitoring of observance of MAE specifications;  Monitoring of observance of MAD specifications;  Monitoring of observance of limits of formation, disposal and storage of production and consumption waste;  Monitoring of observance of specifications of physical environmental impacts;  Regular observation for separate (reasonably necessary) parameters of the state of environment in the impact zone of the enterprise;  Regular monitoring of indicators and parameters providing environmental safety of operation of the enterprise;  Collection, accumulation and analysis of results of observations and measurements; creation and maintenance of databases on background parameters and environmental pollution, level of environmental impact, observance of MAC, MAE, and MAD specifications, formations and disposal of waste;  Forecasting and timely identification of tendencies in environmental changes and development of recommendations for reduction of adverse environmental impact. "Provisions for environmental impact assessment" provide for development of proposals under the environmental monitoring program and control of significant impacts at all stages of realization of planned economic activities and under environmental impact assessment. The information on impact assessment should include an environmental monitoring program. At location of buildings, structures and other objects, the user should provide fulfillment of requirements in the field of environmental protection, restoration of the environment, rational use and reproduction of natural resources, maintenance of environmental safety considering nearest and remote environmental, economic, demographic and other consequences of operation of the objects and observance of priority of preservation of favorable environment, biological variety, rational use and reproduction of natural resources. For this case, actions should be provided for environmental protection, environmental restoration, rational use and reproduction of natural resources, maintenance of environmental safety. With a view to protect conditions for human life activities, habitats of plants, animal and other 14 organisms around industrial zones and objects of economic and other activity rendering an adverse environmental impact, protective and security zones must be created. These include sanitary protection zones of enterprises and green zones including green spaces and other zones with limited use of natural resources in populated centers and residential blocks. Infringement of requirements in the field of environmental protection involves suspension of location, designing, construction, commissioning, operation, conservation and liquidation of buildings, structures and other objects under instructions of enforcement authorities carrying out the state management in the field of environmental protection. The complete stop of location, designing, construction and operation of buildings, structures, and other objects at infringement of requirements in the field of environmental protection is realized on the base of court and/or arbitration decision. Health and Safety Requirements. At the stage of construction these requirements as a rule stipulate control over main technological operations that should be conducted by qualified staff according to the adopted standing orders for certified and tested technical means and equipment. The main element of possible emergencies prevention is risk assessment and measures for risk reduction.

Environmental Procedures - EBRD document (BDS96-23, Rev.3). 1996. 19 Annex 2 Environmental Management Plan (EMP) Checklist for Small Scale Civil Works General Guidelines for use of EMP checklist: For low-risk construction projects, such as minor roads rehabilitation works or the construction of bicycle paths, the ECA (Europe and Central Asia) safeguards team developed an alternative EMP (environmental management plan) format to provide an opportunity for a more streamlined approach to mainstreaming the World Bank’s environmental safeguards requirements into projects which (a) are small in scale or by the nature of the planned activities have a low potential environmental impact, (b) are located in countries with well-functioning country systems for environmental assessment and management. The checklist-type format has been developed to ensure that basic good practice measures are recognized and implemented, while designed to be both user friendly and compatible with the World Bank’s safeguards requirements. The EMP checklist-type format attempts to cover typical key mitigation measures to civil works contracts with small, localized impacts or of a simple, low risk nature. This format provides the key elements of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to meet the minimum World Bank Environmental Assessment requirements for Category B projects under OP 4.01. The intention of this checklist is that it offers practical, concrete and implementable guidance to Contractors and supervising Engineers for simple civil works contracts. It should be completed during the final design phase and, either freestanding or in combination with any environmental documentation produced under national law (e.g. EIA reports), constitute an integral part of the bidding documents and eventually the works contracts. The checklist EMP has the following sections: Part 1 includes a descriptive part that characterizes the project, specifies institutional and regulatory aspects, describes technical project content, outlines any potential need for capacity building and briefly characterizes the public consultation process. This section should indicatively be up to two pages long. Attachments for additional information may be supplemented as needed. Part 2 includes a screening checklist of potential environmental and social impacts, where activities and potential environmental issues can be checked in a simple Yes/No format. If any given activity/issue is triggered by checking “yes”, a reference to the appropriate section in the table in the subsequent Part C can be followed, which contains clearly formulated environmental and social management and mitigation measures. Part 3 represents the environmental monitoring plan to follow up proper implementation of the measures triggered under Part B. It has the same format as required for MPs produced under standard safeguards requirements for Category B projects. 20 Part 4 contains a simple monitoring plan to enable both the Contractor as well as authorities and the World Bank specialists to monitoring due implementation of environmental management and protection measures and detect deviations and shortcomings in a timely manner. Part 2 and 3 have been structured in a way to provide concrete and enforceable environmental and social measures, which are understandable to non-specialists (such as Contractor’s site managers) and are easy to check and enforce. The EMP should be included in the BoQ (bill of quantities) and the implementation priced by the bidders. Part 4 has also been designed intentionally simple to enable monitoring of key parameters with simple means and non-specialist staff. 21 LIPETSK PART 1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT AND OBJECT INSTITUTIONAL & ADMINISTRATIVE Country Russian Federation Project title The National Urban Transport Improvement Project Sub-Project of Urban Transport Improvement in Lipetsk city Scope of project and activity The project envisions arrangement of dedicated lanes for public transport within the project corridor (e.g. road marking), and channeling of pedestrian flows to the sites where pedestrian crossing is organized. The existing regulated pedestrian crossings located at the transport junctions will not be changed. Installing “walk” signals. All the regulated pedestrian crossings (existing and new-built) are planned to be equipped by the automated system of pedestrian recognition "Safe walk”. Modernization of PT stops and organization of bus bays, installation of new stops pavilions with information boards and payment terminals, arrangement of boarding islands accessible for disable people, and arrangement of safe and convenient pedestrian access paths to the stops are planned within the Project. The Project envisages overhaul of tramway tracks, replacement of poles for overhead contact wire, reconstruction of turning circles for trolleybuses and upgrading of bus, trolleybus and tram rolling stock.

Sharygina, S. Morozov, S. Chizhov, E. Bychkova, S. Kirnos, B. Goryunov, A. Goryachev, and N. Pyatachkova Issues discussed: The federal Ministry of Transport, together with the World Bank, is about to implement the National Urban Transport Improvement Project. The World Bank shall provide a loan to Russia in support of the Project. Russia shall allocate additional funds to implement Project activities. Balashikha shall receive about RUR2.3 billion from the loan proceeds and federal budget for Project implementation. However, the funds shall be allocated as goods and services rather than cash. Disbursement may already start in October-November 2014. 67 The Project aims to improve the quality and sustainability of urban transport systems (UTS) and reduce the negative transport impact on the environment. The Project shall address challenges relating to policy improvement to provide for UTS sustainable development, as well as prepare and implement UTS improvement pilot projects in three Russian cities: Balashikha, St. Petersburg and Lipetsk. MinTrans has drafted framework documents on social and environmental safeguards under the National Urban Transport Improvement Project, which have been agreed with the World Bank. The draft Resettlement Policy Framework and the Draft Environmental Management Framework have been repeatedly disclosed on the Balashikha Municipality official website. The latest disclosure was on June 2, 2014 in the News Section. Though the Russian legislation incorporates the principles of these documents it is an international project that should comply with the World Bank’s requirements. In order to launch the Project, the Borrower shall undertake to conduct public consultations on and adopt the two draft documents, that is: 1. The Resettlement Policy Framework; and 2. The Environmental Management Framework. Project activities would include the construction of bicycle lanes, improvement of right turns, organization of circular traffic, establishment of a Traffic Management Center, installation of bus shelters, etc. The Balashikha Administration, together with the designer, has developed a set of Project interventions in a way to avoid the need for additional civil works and not to affect the interests of land plot users. Similarly, these interventions should not deteriorate environmental conditions in the municipality. Resolution: - There were no objections to the draft Resettlement Policy Framework or to the draft Environmental Management Framework; - Activities planned under the Project in Balashikha do not require any resettlement; - Deterioration of environmental conditions under the Project should not be allowed; - If necessary, additional consultations shall be organized at the Project implementation stage; and - It was proposed at the public consultations that further discussions of Project progress be held in future. 68 Public Consultations on the National Urban Transport Improvement Project MINUTES June 6, 2014 Lipetsk Municipality 3.00 p.m. Chair: Nikolay Novikov, Acting First Deputy Head, Lipetsk City Administration; Co-Chairs: Natalya Sitnikova, Deputy Chairman, Department of Transportation, Roads and Urban Land Improvement, Lipetsk City Administration; Andrey Sychikov, Head, Traffic Management Unit, Department of Transportation, Roads and Urban Land Improvement, Lipetsk City Administration Participants: Vera Ivanova - Deputy Chair, Town Planning and Architecture Department, Lipetsk Administration / Chief Lipetsk City Architect Elena Romakina - Deputy Chair, Economic Development Department, Lipetsk Administration / Head, Regional Development and Municipal Economy Office Galina Ponomareva - Deputy Chair, Department of Transportation, Roads and Urban Land Improvement, Lipetsk City Administration Alexey Vostrikov - Deputy Chair, Department of Transportation, Roads and Urban Land Improvement, Lipetsk City Administration Vitaliy Guryev - Director, Municipal Unitary Enterprise Lipetsk Public Transport Sergey Matrusov - Deputy Director, Municipal Unitary Enterprise Lipetsk Public Transport / Head, Tram and Trolleybus Sector Victor Obyedkov - Director, Municipal Unitary Enterprise Lipetsk Urban Transport Company Vladislav Alenin - Member, Lipetsk City Council Olga Morozova - Head, Environmental Safety Sector, Environmental Department, Lipetsk City Administration Vassiliy Rodionov - Chair, City Public Chamber Alexandr Lebedev - Head, Municipal Unitary Enterprise Lipetsk City Chief Inspector Office Yuriy Strokov - Director, Municipal Unitary Specialist Enterprise of Lipetsk City Street Cleaning Vehicles Nikolay Dushko - Director, Road Rehabilitation and Construction Company Valeriy Borodin - Co-Chair, Head of Sector of Roads, Transport and Urban Land Improvement, Community Board under the Chair of the Lipetsk City Council M.

The Environmental Management Framework. SPEAKERS: N. Novikov The introductory speech on the goals of the public consultations. In November 2011, Lipetsk was included in the list of 18 candidate cities to participate in the National Urban Transport Improvement Project to be implemented on a pilot basis by the World Bank and the federal Ministry of Transport. Based on the Concept proposed by Lipetsk, it was selected as one of three participating pilot cities falling into 3 categories: a large city, a medium-sized city and a small city. The Concept was finalized in the course of multiple working visits by the World Bank technical experts and MinTrans staff, and includes the following activities, as approved: Introducing a bus priority scheme in part of the urban road network within the pilot zone; and improving the service quality and enhancing the attractiveness of public transport. A. Sychikov There are a number of cases in international practice where traffic congestion is addressed by improving traffic management efficiency, including the introduction and development of modern intelligent transport systems (ITS) capable of managing traffic within the existing road network without increasing the network density. The ITS to be implemented shall: - Provide for efficient traffic management, increase the road network capacity, prevent traffic congestion, and reduce traffic delays; - Improve road safety; - Ensure a quick response from and interaction between special (traffic police, emergency teams, and ambulances) and municipal services in case of any emergency in the urban road network; 71 - Streamline public transport traffic and improve the quality of public transport service; - Introduce a public transport priority scheme; - Provide real-time user information on traffic conditions and the best possible route options; - Inform the senior officials and staff of municipal authorities at all levels on transport service and road traffic, as necessary; and - Mitigate the environmental implications of traffic congestion. N. Sitnikova The Lipetsk Subproject shall finance the development of the existing urban PT ticketing system. System modernization would involve addressing the institutional and technical aspects of e-ticketing as well as remote cash/cashless fare payment, ticket purchase or replenishment of the e-ticket account at PT stops. Increasing the number of ticketing points is among the development priorities of the existing of PT fare payment system, and, therefore, payment terminals shall be installed at PT stops and connected to the settlement system run by MUE Lipetsk Urban Transport Company and to the Traffic Management Center which shall process statistical data. In addition to the installation of payment terminals, the Subproject is expected to support the installation of on-board fare payment monitoring devices in PT vehicles. New trends in PT stop management are related to the need to create comfortable waiting areas and are determined by regional climatic conditions and innovations in areas such as IT, stand-alone power supply systems, functional performance (leisure), and services. Activities to be implemented under the Project in Lipetsk do not require any resettlement. Item Comments, proposals, and questions Answers and comments A question on PT vehicles to be procured: Procurement is not tied to any specific 1 domestic or foreign? model. Vehicles shall be selected on the basis of specifications. A proposal to hold additional public Such consultations would be expedient 2 consultations in the City Public Chamber to inform the city residents RESOLUTION: 1. To approve the National Urban Transport Improvement Project to be implemented by the World Bank and the federal Ministry of Transport in Lipetsk. 2.

Mishanov The introductory speech on the goal of the public consultations. To implement the Project in St. Petersburg the City established a Working Group in April 2013. The Working Group, which includes representatives of the St. Petersburg executive public authorities and MinTrans, developed the Project Concept and the list of interventions that were approved by MinTrans and the World Bank. The Project aims to improve the quality and sustainability of urban transport systems (UTS), make public transport more attractive, and provide for road safety. The Project has the following objectives: 1. UTS reorganization to increase its efficiency by establishing demand/supply management mechanisms. 2. Increasing efficiency, accessibility and attractiveness of urban public transport for all groups of population. 3. Improving environmental conditions in St. Petersburg. The Project area is restricted by the Neva and Fontanka Rivers. The Project shall be implemented in 2015-2018. The Project shall support the following activities:  Development and implementation of a comprehensive traffic management scheme in the pilot area, including a PT priority scheme at intersections;  Installation of enforcement cameras;  Establishment of a traffic forecast system, including the monitoring and driver information subsystem;  Establishment of smart stops in the Project area;  Implementation of on-street paid parking in the Project area (about 20,000 parking places); and  Environmental monitoring in the Project area. A.M. Mishkevich Pursuant to the World Bank’s rules, MinTrans approved the Environmental Management Framework which considers the environmental risks of the Project activities and actions to mitigate these risks that should be envisaged in contract documents as contractors’ obligations. It should be noted that implementation of the Project activities are not expected to have a negative impact on the environment due to their small scale; on the contrary, we expect positive environmental implications. A.M. Mishkevich Pursuant to the World Bank’s rules, MinTrans approved the Resettlement Policy Framework. It should be noted that preparation of the document is required by the World Bank. The list of Project activities does not include any interventions that may necessitate any resettlement (of either individuals or legal entities) as they will be implemented exclusively within the road 75 public network. Nevertheless, the Project will include an assessment (inventory) to identify persons eligible for compensation.
