Rapid <strong>EIA</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> <strong>of</strong> 3 <strong>Pre</strong>-identified <strong>Hazardous</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Disposal</strong> <strong>Sites</strong> <strong>in</strong> NCT - Delhi:<br />
4.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY<br />
Page No.46<br />
4.2.1 General<br />
Physiographically, the NCT - Delhi has two dist<strong>in</strong>ct natural features such as "the<br />
ridge", which is the rocky outcrop <strong>of</strong> Aravalli Hills and the "River Yamuna", which<br />
flows <strong>in</strong> eastern side <strong>of</strong> Delhi and flows <strong>in</strong> southern direction. Further, the dist<strong>in</strong>ct<br />
physiographic units <strong>of</strong> NCT - Delhi are as follows:<br />
• Old flood pla<strong>in</strong> (old Khadar) and Recent flood pla<strong>in</strong> (new Khadar) <strong>of</strong> Yamuna<br />
River<br />
• Upper Alluvial pla<strong>in</strong> (Bangar)<br />
• the quartzite ridge (Kohi)<br />
• the nearly closed alluvial bas<strong>in</strong> <strong>of</strong> chattarpur <strong>in</strong> South Delhi<br />
The proposed sites fall <strong>in</strong> different physiographic regions as shown <strong>in</strong> Fig 4.9.<br />
Site I: Bawana Relocational Industrial Complex:<br />
The site falls at the borderl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>of</strong> upper alluvial (Bangar region) and old flood pla<strong>in</strong><br />
(old Khadar). This region is more elevated and drier compared to the flood pla<strong>in</strong>s<br />
namely old and new Khadar region. This region is not vulnerable to flood. This region<br />
comprises <strong>of</strong> unconsolidated, w<strong>in</strong>d-modified, fluvial deposits with nodular concretions<br />
<strong>of</strong> calcium carbonate occur<strong>in</strong>g at places.<br />
The proposed site is mostly flat slightly slop<strong>in</strong>g towards north-west (slope % vary<strong>in</strong>g<br />
between 0.75 to 1.0). The altitude <strong>of</strong> the pla<strong>in</strong> varies between 215 and 213 m above<br />
mean sea level (msl) 1 . The road and nala ramification around it make a relatively low<br />
ly<strong>in</strong>g area.<br />
Site - II: Wazirpur CETP Site<br />
The proposed site falls <strong>in</strong> the Bangar region. This area also falls under the city block<br />
<strong>of</strong> NCT- Delhi. The landscape <strong>of</strong> this site is almost flat. There are some dy<strong>in</strong>g Jamun<br />
trees with <strong>in</strong> the site.<br />
Site - III: Village Guman Hera<br />
The proposed site falls <strong>in</strong> Dabar region. The Dabar region is a bas<strong>in</strong> area between<br />
ridge and the Bangar. This area encounters some patches <strong>of</strong> piedmonts and<br />
pediments. The site is salt affected dry land. It has a flat topography.<br />
Site - IV: Old site on Bawana - Narela road<br />
The proposed site falls <strong>in</strong> the Bangar region. The elevation <strong>of</strong> the land around this<br />
site with<strong>in</strong> 5 Km radius is about 215m above m.s.l. The site is slightly elevated than<br />
the surround<strong>in</strong>g area with an average slope
