Based on the rank<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> MOEF as well as <strong>in</strong>ternationally followed criteria, Site<br />

III located near village Guman Hera is proposed for development <strong>of</strong> SLF for<br />

disposal <strong>of</strong> hazardous waste.<br />

The environmental impacts <strong>of</strong> develop<strong>in</strong>g and operat<strong>in</strong>g the SLF at the proposed site<br />

near village Guman Hera were assessed. In order to mitigate the adverse<br />

environmental impacts, mitigation measures have been proposed. Accord<strong>in</strong>gly,<br />

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared which shall be followed<br />

at the sites for disposal <strong>of</strong> hazardous waste <strong>in</strong> environmentally sound manner.<br />

The mitigation measures to be taken are summarised <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g action po<strong>in</strong>ts: -<br />
