Preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) DPR will be prepared as per the guidelines laid down in the Manual on Solid Waste Management published by this Ministry, which will include:

• Existing status of SWM in the town including mechanism and infrastructure for collection, transportation, treatment & disposal; existing equipment/machinery and other infrastructure available and its age; the mechanism & O/M of the equipment available, present establishment expenditure, technical and non-technical manpower available

• Field study to be carried out in commercial / institutional and residential areas to assess the quantity of garbage generated in the city before planning the system and report of the field study be included in the DPR

• Complete physical characterization of waste, including moisture content, density and etc. as well as weight & volume of quantity of bio-degradable, non bio-degradable & recyclables available in the waste produced in the town everyday and test report for quality of garbage from a standard test laboratory .

Preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) (Continued) • Justification for equipment & machinery required, if any, for collection and

transportation based on the time and motion study in order to ensure optimum utilization of the same

• Detailed designs & drawing of proposed Solid Waste Management System including sanitary landfill / waste processing plants should be included in the DPR

• Details of the survey and geo-hydrological investigation carried out for development of sanitary land fill

• Mechanism of operation & maintenance of equipment & machinery and its upkeep, preventive maintenance on regular basis for existing and proposed equipment & machinery

• Mechanism of operation and maintenance of sanitary land fill / waste processing plant on self sustaining basis including details of engagement of private sector, if any

• A routing plan for storage and collection of garbage, marked out on the city’s layout plan, to facilitate easy operations in SWM services

• Proposed institutional and financial reform after completion of scheme

• An action plan for effective O/M through imposition of user charges

• Details of suitable land for setting up of integrated waste management facility in possession including land for sanitary landfill

Possible Waste Management Options • Organic fraction of municipal solid waste contains bio-degradable matter

ranging from 30% to 55% which can be profitably converted into useful products like compost (organic manure), methane gas (used for cooking, heating, lighting, production of energy) etc. through the following processes:

• Aerobic / Anaerobic Composting

• Vermi-Composting

• Recycling of Waste: Recyclable materials like paper, cardboards, plastics, polythene bags, pieces of metals and glass are recycled to recover useful resource.

• Sanitary Landfilling: Rejects from compost plants, recycling and other inorganic materials like construction debris in Municipal Solid Waste are sent to scientifically engineered landfills.

It is emphasized that success of above mentioned options largely depends on segregation of waste at source.

Human Resource Development • Special Training To Unqualified Staff

•Refresher Courses For All Levels of Staff

• Exposure to Municipal Commissioner/ Chief Executives

•Promotional Opportunities

Other Important Aspects

• Norms of Work for Street Sweepers and waste collectors

• Inter-departmental coordination

• Encouragement to NGOs and waste collecting cooperatives

• Incentives to private sector

• Levy of administrative charges

• Addressing of public grievances

Manpower Required

• Staff to be recruited from existing ULB* staff and from newspaper adverts for interviews

• Staff to be paid as per government norms

• In cities where health officers are looking after SWM or part thereof, in addition to their principal function of taking preventive health measures, they may be gradually made free from this responsibility and replaced by environmental or public health engineers.

*ULB: Urban Local Body

Work Norms Norms of Work for Street Sweepers

The sweepers may be given “Pin point” individual work assignments according to the density of the area to be swept. The yardsticks given earlier could be adopted as under:

• Norms of Work for Street Sweepers

• High density area & Markets = 250 to 350 Running Metre

(Population above 50000 per sq.km.) (RMT)

• Medium density area = 400 to 600 RMT

(Population from 10000 to 50000 per sq.km.)

• Low Density area = 650 to 750 RMT

(Population less than 10000 per sq.km.)

• The sweepers may be directed to sweep the roads and footpaths in the area allotted to them as well as to collect the domestic, trade and institutional wastes in their handcart from the households, shops and establishments situated on the road/street allotted to them.

Similarly work norms for all posts may be discussed and implemented in the charter as per GOI guidelines.

System Design Parameters

• As per Govt. of India norms and guidelines, the system will be designed with a view of sufficiency in the year 2035

• Subsequent calculations and rounding off yielded the carrying capacity of plan to be 50 TPD

• Following slide shows the calculations for the financial analysis of the entire AWMC
