6.1.3 Essential Facilities to be developed for Secured Landfill<br />

Leachate Treatment System<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g two alternatives are considered for leachate treatment:<br />

Off-site treatment <strong>of</strong> leachate: This <strong>in</strong>volves storage, pre-treatment and<br />

transportation <strong>of</strong> leachate to <strong>of</strong>f-site treatment facilities e.g. common effluent<br />

treatment plant, municipal sewage treatment plant.<br />

Onsite Treatment <strong>of</strong> Leachate: This <strong>in</strong>volves complete treatment <strong>of</strong> leachate at the<br />

landfill site to meet the general standards for disposal <strong>of</strong> wastewater <strong>in</strong>to <strong>in</strong>land<br />

surface water body.<br />

As the site is 30 - 40 km away from approved <strong>in</strong>dustrial estates/areas and no<br />

municipal sewerage system exists <strong>in</strong> neighbourhood <strong>of</strong> the site, the option <strong>of</strong> treat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the leachate <strong>in</strong> a <strong>of</strong>f site plant is not feasible. Therefore, complete leachate treatment<br />

plant has to be designed with<strong>in</strong> the facility for treat<strong>in</strong>g the leachate before<br />

discharg<strong>in</strong>g to Najafgarh dra<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Surface Water Dra<strong>in</strong>age System<br />

In order to divert the storm water from enter<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to the facility, therby m<strong>in</strong>imis<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

quantity <strong>of</strong> leachate generation, surface water dra<strong>in</strong>age system is essential. The<br />

surface water dra<strong>in</strong>age system comprises <strong>of</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g components:<br />

• Storm water dra<strong>in</strong>s and diversion channel<br />

• Storm water bas<strong>in</strong><br />

• Culverts<br />

The storm water bas<strong>in</strong> is designed based on the precipitation value.<br />
