Strategic Action Plan - International Environmental Technology Centre

IDENTIFICATION AND PRELIMINARY DESGIN OF
NEW WASTE DISPOSAL SITES
Target: To find new waste disposal sites in Pune.
Lead Agency: Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) – Town Planning Department
Support Agency: MPCB, Consultants who would identify the exact locations with
discussions with MPCB, PBAP, Builders and Contractors, NGO’s, generators and housing
societies.
Location (Suggested): The office of the Town Planning Department of Pune and ISWM
Cell would carry out the assessment. PMC would have to collaborate with neighboring
municipalities like PCMC and PCB and collectively find a site shared by all municipalities
Description: The GIS based tool can be used for site selection. The usage of GIS based
modeling has been explained for optimization of collection systems scheme. The design
guidelines should follow the CPCB guidelines in order to select the area, size, place and
other requirements. The study should also involve estimation of study from other areas.
The Secured Landfill Facility has to be designed as per the norms given in the Municipal
Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1999. The seven essential components of a MSW
landfill are:
• A liner system at the base and sides of the landfill which prevents migration of
leachate or gas to the surrounding soil.
• A leachate collection and control facility which collects and extracts leachate from
within and from the base of the landfill and then treats the leachate.
• A gas collection and control facility (optional for small landfills) which collects and
extracts gas from within and from the top of the landfill and then treats it or uses it
for energy recovery.
• A final cover system at the top of the landfill which enhances surface drainage,
prevents infiltrating water and supports surface vegetation.
• A surface water drainage system which collects and removes all surface runoff from
the landfill site.
• An environmental monitoring system which periodically collects and analyses air,
surface water, soil-gas and ground water samples around the landfill site.
• A closure and post-closure plan which lists the steps that must be taken to close and
secure a landfill site once the filling operation has been completed and the activities
for long-term monitoring, operation and maintenance of the completed landfill.
Budget (Estimated): Rs. 5 million
Timeframe (Estimated): 1.5 years

• MSW management
would be easy to
handle
• C&D Wastes would
not get mixed with
MSW and avoid the
use of landfill space
• Disposal will be
done in
environmentally &
technically sound
manner.
• Carbon advantage
can be obtained
from such new
landfills
