Solid Waste Management facility in two stretches measuring as 20.72 acres

and 20.05 acres in the revenue estate Village Dudhar, District Patiala,

which will cater to 24 no. of Urban Local Bodies of Patiala cluster. Both

these sites are located at a distance about 440 m from each other and

these are property of Nagar Panchayat, Dudhar.

2. Presently, one of the stretches is used for agricultural purpose and the

other stretch is a barren land.

13

3. The proposed site of the facility is located at a distance 17 km from Patiala

city.

4. Total water requirement for the project is about 50 KLD, which will be met

through ground water.

5. The scope of the project includes the following:

a) Direct collection of segregated waste from waste generators, within

Municipal limits.

b) Storage of MSW including street sweeping and drain silting waste at

secondary collection units within municipal limits of Patiala.

c) Transportation of MSW including street sweeping and drain silting

waste from secondary collection points to site.

d) Receiving of MSW from Transfer stations and Urban Local Bodies

(ULB's).

e) Establishment of transfer stations at Sangrur, Barnala and Nabha to

the site.

f) Transportation of waste from transfer stations at Sangrur, Barnala

and Nabha to site.

g) Municipal waste processing facility comprising of RDF plant to process

300 TPD of mixed waste and compost plant for processing of 200TPD

of organic fraction of MSW.

h) Development, operation and maintenance of the Engineered Sanitary

Landfill site.

i) Disposal of Residual Inert Matter at the Engineered Sanitary landfill.

6. The present generation of solid waste from all 24 urban local bodies has

been estimated as 437.45 TPD and the Integrated MSW facility will be

installed to handle 500 TPD of municipal solid waste. The refuse dried fuel

will be generated the form of fluff having gross calorific value of 2600 to

2800 Kcal/kg of fluff. The RDF plant will be operated for 330 days in a year

and will have following operations.

Receipt of leaves and horticultural waste directly to the RDF storage.

14

Receipt of mixed MSW in one of the pits.

Manual separation and rejection of odd size objects.

Primary size reduction and homogenization.

Screening to remove minus 70 mm size.

Drying (when required).

Screening to remove Grits.

Classification into light fraction (RDF), heavy rejects and residual dust.

Secondary size reduction and pelletizing option.

Residual organic matter from the RDF plant will be utilized in compost plant.

7. The compost plant will be of capacity 200 TPD, which will be used to

process organic fraction of MSW and organic rejects to be generated from

RDF plant. This compost plant will be based on aerobic composting

process.

8. Engineered sanitary landfill shall also be developed for disposal of

processing rejects and residual inert matter. This facility shall be designed

as per the guidelines prescribed in the Municipal Solid Waste (Management

& Handling) Rules, 2000.

State Power Corporation Limited. The MC has proposal to install 1 No. DG

set of 250 KVA, which will be used as standby arrangement of power

supply and this D.G. set will be provided with proper acoustic enclosures.

10. It has been proposed that dust emissions to be generated during handling

waste/movement of vehicles will be controlled by spraying water and

providing enclosures.

11. The site of the project is largely conforming to the locational criteria

suggested by the Govt. of India, Ministry of Urban Development in the

manual titled as "Manual on Municipal Solid Waste Management".

However, as per record only one time flood came in the area in which the

proposed site of the facility is located,in the year 1993 and as per manual a

landfill may be built up within the flood plains of secondary streams if an

15

embankment is built along the stream side to avoid flooding of the

area.Therefore there is a proposal to construct an embankment of

adequate height to avoid flooding of the area.

12. There is a small substation of PSPCL adjoining to proposed site of the

facility where a deep tubewell has been provided to get the supply of water

for the workers of the said substation.

13. The aviation club of Patiala is at a distance of about 8 Km from the

proposed site of the facility.

14. The odour problem will be mitigated by spraying organic inoculants

The Committee considered the above said project proposal and

details as presented by the project proponents and after discussions, the 'Terms

of Reference' were finalized to be suitably added to those furnished by the

project proponent.

The TOR are applicable for Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management

Facility, however, rapid EIA and public hearing shall be conducted as per provisions of

the Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 and the issues to be raised by the

public should be addressed in the Final Environmental Management Plans for these sites.

A detailed draft EIA/EMP report should be prepared as per the

above additional TOR and should be submitted to the SEAC.

The Committee further observed that the project proponent shall

also submit the following documents alongwith draft EIA report:-

1. No Objection Certificate from pollution angle of the Punjab Pollution Control

Board.

3. All the documents, which were not submitted alongwith the application and shown

as not submitted in the agenda of the 56th meeting of SEAC uploaded on the

official website www.seiaapunjab.co.in.

3. NOC from the Aviation Club Patiala.

5. Proof of distance from existing protected area and 'No Objection certificate' from the Department of Forest & Wildlife Preservation.

6. The ownership of the land in which the integrated MSW management facility is to be established, is in the name of Nagar Panchayat, Dudhar.

http://www.seiaapunjab.co.in/

16

Therefore, Municipal Corporation Patiala is required to submit a resolution passed by said Nagar Panchayat and duly approved by the competent authority of the state to the effect that the said land can be used for development of integrated MSW management facility by Municipal Corporation Patiala.

The decision of SEAC and TOR’s were issued to the project

proponent vide letter no. 12550 dated 16.03.2012.

7. Now, the public hearing of the MSW site was conducted on 01.10.2014 and

the proceedings of the same have been received in this office vide letter

no. 43695 dated 20.10.14. However, the project proponent has not yet

submitted the final EIA report as well as the reply of the observations of

SEAC conveyed to the project proponent vide letter no. 12550 dated

16.03.2012.

Moreover, the Ministry of Environment and Forests has issued an

Office Memorandum dated 22.08.2014 wherein, the validity of Terms of

Reference (TORs) prescribed under EIA Notification, 2006 for undertaking

detailed EIA and EMP studies for developmental projects requiring

environmental clearance has been clarified and the relevant part of the

same is as under:

“ 2. Based on experience gained in implementation of aforesaid

OMs, issues like linkage of validity of TORs with public hearing, the issue of

further extension of validity of TORs, etc. has emerged. The matter has

been examined in detail and the following has been decided in order to

provide more clarity on the subject:

(i) The TORs prescribed for a project or activity will be valid for a

period of two years for submission of EIA and EMP report, except

for River Valley and HEP projects, where the validity of TORs will be

for three years. The TORs will specifically mention the date of expiry

of validity and state that TORs will lapse after that date.

(ii) This period of validity could be extended by the Regulatory Authority

concerned by a maximum period of one year provided an application

is made by the applicant to the Regulatory Authority, atleast three

months before the expiry of validity period, together with an

updated Form-I, based on proper justification and also

recommendation of the EAC/SEAC.

17

(iii) Some cases have come to the notice of this Ministry where an

application for extending the validity of TORs, as stated at (i) above,

was made by the project proponent and instead the project

proponent submitted complete proposal with EIA / EMP reports

within the period for which it could have obtained extension of TORs

as stated at (ii) above, for grant of environment clearance. Strictly

speaking, all such proposals, not being in line with the existing

instructions, should not be considered by the Regulatory Authority.

However, requests have been received for considering such

proposals citing the reasons that EIA / EMP reports have been

submitted within the prescribed outer time limit for validity of TORs,

efforts put-in for preparing these reports, etc. It has been decided

that while such proposals received till the date of issuance of this

O.M. may be considered by the Regulatory Authority, any such

proposal after the issuance of this O.M., shall not be considered by

the Regulatory Authority. The State Pollution Control Boards

(SPCBS) shall ensure that the public hearing (PH) is conducted

within the timeline of 45 days as prescribed in the EIA Notification,

2006. The SPCBs shall also ensure that PH is held within the validity

period of the TORs, and that no PH is held after the validity period,

of TORs is over. The PH conducted after the expiry of the TORs shall

not be accepted by the Regulatory Authority for appraisal. The PH

should be held well before the expiry of validity of TORs so that EIA

I EMP reports are submitted by proponent within the validity period

of TORs.

(iv) Extension of Validity of TORs beyond the outer limit of three years

for all projects or activities and four years for River Valley and HEP

projects shall not be considered by the Regulatory Authority. In such

cases, the project proponent, will have to start the process de novo

and obtain fresh TORs in case the proponent is still interested in

pursuing the clearance for the project. Re-use of old baseline data

(provided it is not more than 3 years old) for the purpose of

preparation of fresh EIA and EMP report will be considered subject

to due diligence by the EAC/SEAC which may make appropriate

recommendations including the need for revalidation. Baseline data

older than 3 years will not be used for preparation of EIA /EMP

report. In any case, the PH shall have to be conducted afresh in

such cases.

18

(v) Instances have also come to the notice of this Ministry wherein,

though the EIA / EMP report is submitted by the proponent within

the validity period of TORs, the case remains pending for want of

additional information from the proponent, State Government, etc.,

as sought by the EAC / Ministry. This Ministry has already decided

vide OM No.J-11013/5/2009-IA-II (Part) dated 30.10.2012 that such

cases will be delisted in case such information is not received within

six months. In some cases the proponents have been requesting for

re-listing of their projects after the requisite information has been

submitted after considerable lapse of time. For such cases, it has

been decided that they could be considered provided the date of

public hearing is not more than 3 years old and the data used in

preparation of EIA / EMP report is not more than 3 years old. In

case these conditions are not met, the proponent will have to start

the process de novo after obtaining fresh TORs.”

The case was considered by the SEAC in its 103rd meeting held on

18.11.2014. However, no one from the project proponent attended the meeting

inspite of the fact that the project proponent was informed telephonically to

attend the said meeting.

The Committee, in compliance to office memorandum of the MoEF

dated 04.08.2009 as amended on 25.02.2010, decided to defer the case.

The case is placed before the SEAC for consideration.

Near Urban Estate Phase-II, Tehsil & District Jalandhar.

iv. The SEAC in its general discussion felt that the project for which

application is received for obtaining environmental clearance should be

visited by the Punjab Pollution Control Board and its construction status be

verified before placing the same in the agenda of SEAC for appraisal.

Therefore, the SEAC decided that as and when an application is being

received for obtaining environmental clearance, PPCB be requested to visit

the site of the project and verify its construction status before the case is

placed in the agenda of the SEAC for appraisal.

v. Therefore, the Punjab Pollution Control Board, Regional Office, Jalandhar

vide letter no. 3292 dated 10.11.2014 was requested to visit the site of the

20

project and send the detailed status of construction of the project at site,

within 3 days.

vi. The Punjab Pollution Control Board, Regional Office, Jalandhar vide letter

no. 6411 dated 17.11.2014 has intimated that the site was visited by the

AEE on 13.11.2014 and observed that no construction activity was started

at site yet. The site is located adjoining to M/s Jalandhar Heights (Ph-I &

Ph-2), Pholriwal, Jalandhar. The boundary wall construction work of the

project is complete.

The case was considered by the SEAC in its 103rd meeting held on

18.11.2014, which was attended by the following on behalf of project proponent:

a. Sh. Ashwani Kant, General Manager of the promoter Company

b. Sh. Vishal Duggal, of M/s Ace Engineers & Consultants, Environmental Consultant of the promoter company

Before allowing the Environmental Consultant of the promoter

company to present the case, the SEAC observed that the project namely

'Jalandhar Heights' has already been granted environmental clearance for its

Phase-1 and Phase-2 in the revenue estate of Villages Pholriwal & Alipur, 66 feet

Road, Near Urban Estate Phase-II, Tehsil & District Jalandhar having total built up

area of 1,47,790 sqm, in an area of 44,870 sqm. However, the project proponent

has now applied for obtaining separate environmental clearance for the Phase-3

of the project and has filed fresh application.

To the above mentioned observations of the SEAC, the project

proponent informed that Phase-2 was an expansion of Phase-1 of the project and

both the projects were sharing resources such as water supply & sewerage, solid

waste management, STP and power supply etc. However, Phase-3 is an

independent project of the company and the land for the project has been

purchased separately in the year 2014. All the approvals/permissions have been

obtained from the various departments separately for this project (Phase-3).

Moreover, this project is not sharing any resources with the already existing

Phase-1 & Phase-2 of the project. Therefore, fresh application has been filed for

obtaining environmental clearance for the Phase-3 of the project.

21

The SEAC observed that the reply given by the project proponent is

tenable and allowed the Environmental Consultant to present the case before the

Committee.

paper, rubber, metal, etc.) – about 25% (by weight). Total quantity of this waste is expected to be ~250 kg/day.

3. Non-recyclable rejects – about 75% (by weight).

This is the quantity which needs solid waste management facility.

Total quantity of this waste is expected to be a maximum of 750 kg/day.

Additionally, about 200 kg/day of partially bio-degradable solid waste will be generated, in the

28

form of primary and secondary sludges from the sewage treatment facility.

MSW Management includes; a) Segregation into the components –

recyclable, and non-recyclable – at source.

The wastes will be dumped in service bins. Separate storage space will need to be provided for each type of component.

b) Collection, handling and disposal of the wastes

The recyclable component to be directly sold to the authorized recycler

The non-recyclable component will need to be disposed through municipal solid waste management site.

It is the responsibility of the MC, Jalandhar, for collection, transportation, and disposal of the non-recyclable solid waste [Rule 2 and Schedule II of Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000]. The MC shall be paid requisite fee, as applicable from time to time.
