Rapid EIA Studies of 3 Pre-identified Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites in NCT - Delhi: Page No.13 Based on the above scenario of hazardous waste genreation, the conceptualised design of common secured landfill facility for disposal of hazardous waste in NCT of Delhi is given in Chapter 6. The total quantity of hazardous wastes which is estimated to be 87,000 m 3 /annum from all the 28 approved industrial estates/areas (including CETPs) shall be disposed off in engineered landfill facility. The engineered landfill facility shall be developed at the best-suited site among the pre-identified potential sites as per the findings of rapid EIA studies.

SITE ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION CRITERIA<br />

The site assessment requires the technical evaluation <strong>of</strong> various key factors, based on <strong>in</strong>formation on<br />

distribution & flow paths <strong>of</strong> ground water, barriers like aquifers, aquicludes etc. and their hydraulic<br />

properties. The sites have been evaluated for its suitability for develop<strong>in</strong>g secured landfill facility for<br />

disposal <strong>of</strong> hazardous waste not only based on the data collected from secondary sources but also<br />

based on the primary data generated by NPC.<br />

3.2 CPCB CRITERIA FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE LANDFILLS<br />

("Criteria for <strong>Hazardous</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> Landfills", <strong>Hazardous</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> Management Series:<br />

HAZWAMS/17/2000-01).<br />

3.2.1 Applicability<br />

The criteria stated hereafter apply to owners and operators <strong>of</strong> facilities that dispose hazardous waste<br />

<strong>in</strong> landfills. The term 'hazardous waste landfill' (HW Landfill) is used to designate a waste disposal<br />

unit, designed and constructed with the objective <strong>of</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imum impact to the environment. This term<br />

encompasses other terms such as "secured landfill", "eng<strong>in</strong>eered landfill", "waste mounds", "waste<br />

piles" etc.<br />

3.2.2 Locational Criteria<br />

As per the criteria given the hazardous waste landfill sites shall not be located with<strong>in</strong> a certa<strong>in</strong><br />

distance (as the case may be) from the follow<strong>in</strong>g:<br />

Lakes<br />

Ponds<br />

Rivers<br />

Wetlands<br />

Flood pla<strong>in</strong>s<br />

Highways<br />

Habitation<br />

Critical habitat area<br />

Water supply wells<br />

Airports<br />

Coastal zone<br />

(a)<br />

Lake or Pond:<br />

No landfill shall normally be constructed with<strong>in</strong> 200 m <strong>of</strong> any lake or pond. Because <strong>of</strong> concerns<br />

regard<strong>in</strong>g run<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> waste contam<strong>in</strong>ated water, a surface water monitor<strong>in</strong>g network with approval <strong>of</strong><br />

DPCC shall be established.<br />

(b)<br />

River:<br />

No landfill shall be constructed with<strong>in</strong> 100 m <strong>of</strong> a navigable river or stream.<br />
