Complaint

IAM: Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI)

ID: MICI-PN-2010-002

Date Filed: March 12, 2010

Date Closed: Feb. 13, 2013

Status: Closed With Outputs

Description

The Request presents a number of environmental concerns regarding the development of the Project, including, among others, the evaluation process related to environmental impact assessments, the siting of the plants, and the use of water. The Requesters also raised social concerns with respect to long term concessions. The Requesters alleged that the Project would have a negative impact on agricultural projects, damage roadways, and reduce the local economy; in addition they indicated that the siting of the Project raises security concerns, given the presence of the Baru Volcano, the possibility of earthquakes and other natural phenomena. They explicitly request that given that the environmental impact study was not participative in nature, the IDB considers their concerns prior to proceeding with Project financing.
