Rapid EIA Studies of 3 Pre-identified Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites in NCT - Delhi: No.23 Attribute Attribute Sensitivity Weightage Measurement Index Incineration with off-gas 20 cleaning Leachate Treatment 20 Site Security 10 Safety measures 10 Subtotal 180 Total 1000 Page Attribute Score 3.4 SITE ASSESSMENT & SELECTION CRITERIA FOLLOWED IN OTHER COUNTRIES A stepwise site assessment & selection criteria has been evolved based on the procedures & practices followed in other developed countries and divided into following two phases. Phase - I: Phase - II: "Rejection or Knock out Criteria" "Site Identification, Investigation and Evaluation Criteria" Phase-I: Rejection or Knock out Criteria These criteria have been developed to reject the sites based on certain parameters such as characteristics of land, geology, hydro-geology, ground water conditions and ecological considerations etc. These criteria have been adapted from Guidelines developed for Management of Domestic Sanitary Landfill Sites in Germany (1) and modified to suit Indian conditions. The criteria for rejection or knock out of the unsuitable sites are given in Table 3.3. Table 3.3: Rejection or Knock out Criteria Location of Site: Village District Sl. Criteria No. 1 Existing or planned drinking water protection and catchment areas 2 Flood prone areas (once in 100 years) 3 Areas with unstable ground 4 Closer than 300 meter to populated areas 5 National Parks, Monuments, Forests with large no. of flora and fauna, Historical, Religious & other important cultural places 6 Close to airport (as per the regulatory requirement) Remarks: Answer (Y/N) Comments Remarks Environment Division, National Productivity Council, New Delhi 1

Oeltzschner and D. Mutz, Publication: Deutche Gesellschaft fur Tecnische Zusanmmenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH., 1994.) Phase - II: Site Identification, Investigation and Evaluation Criteria After the sites pass the examination for the above criteria, they are included in the detail investigation and are further evaluated as per "Site Evaluation Criteria" (Table 3.4). The sites have to be investigated for geological, hydro-geological, ecological and civil engineering point of view. These criteria have been adapted and modified to suit the Indian Environmental conditions, from the Criteria developed by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) (2) . The following key factors have to be considered for investigating the sites. • General Data e.g. volume, traffic links and distance from main waste source ; • Geology and Hydro-geology ; • Meteorological aspects; • Nature protection and land use.
