2 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

2.1 Identification of Project and project Proponent

As per the EIA notification dated 14th September, 2006, as amended till date, the proposed Integrated MSW project falls under category 7(i), Common Municipal Solid Waste Management Facility (CMSWMF), under Category B” but it is to be assessed as Category “A” due to applicability of General Conditions (Project falls within 10 kms of protected area notified under Wild life Protection Act, 1972).

The proposed project will be developed by Sonamarg Development Authority (SDA).

2.2 Brief description of nature of the project:

Sonamarg, a world famous tourist destination, has remained center of tourist attraction since ages. It has also attained a significant importance over last six years due to Holy Amarnath Yatra where large numbers of yatris go via Sonamarg in month of June, July &August. During these three months, solid waste contribution from tourism activity increases significantly.

The proposed project is an Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Processing, Disposal & Management Facility for collection and disposal of solid waste generated from Sonamarg town and on the routé from Sonamarg to holy cave during Amarnath Yatra. The project will consist of Compost plant, Recyclable segregation facility, Secured Landfill, Leachate treatment and reuse facility at Village Sarbal, District Ganderbal, Jammu & Kashmir. Additionally, one compost plant at Panchtarni base camps is also proposed.

2.3 Need for the Project and its Importance to the Country and or Region

 The existing solid waste management facility practices unscientific dumping of mixed waste (biodegradable, recyclable, inert) in a pit without liners. This may lead to land pollution and leaching of contaminated water may lead to ground water pollution.  The Supreme Court vide Suo Motu writ petition (civil) No. 284 of 2012 has constituted a special high powered committee (SHPC) and directed to identify the sites for landfill facility as per the Municipal Solid Waste Rules, in consultation with the SPCB.  This project will help in improvising present solid waste collection mechanism and will provide systematically SWM facility leading to proper disposal of waste.  The proposed project will help in maintaining the aesthetic beauty of the place.

2.4 Demand Supply Gap

Due to increase in tourist number and Amaranth Yatra, generation of solid waste in Sonamarg town has increased tremendously. At present, there is no proper solid waste management facility available resulting in littering of wastes all over. Hence, to preserve environment & esthetic beauty of the place, well managed solid waste segregation and disposal facility is need of the hour.

3.4 Size or Magnitude of the Operations

The proposed project will be designed over a land of 9,500 sqm.

The landfill will be designed for a period of 10 years on an area of 2,455 sqm. The design capacity of landfill is 1100 ton/year.

Area required for compost plant (10 TPD capacity) at site is 1,813 sqm. Capacity of Compost plant at base camp will be 3 TPD.

3.5 Project Description with process details (Schematic diagram/ flowchart showing the project layout, components of project etc. should be given)

Sonamarg is famous tourist spot, well known for Amarnath Yatra which takes place during the month of Sawan i.e. June to August. During this period, huge number yatris reach this place to visit the holy shrine. The population of pilgrim tourist goes above 5 lakh and is concentrated mainly on the 29km long track from Sonamarg to Holy cave. Therefore, the project will be focused to design integrated waste management facility for following two types of waste:

KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS | FEBRUARY, 2016 4

 Type A: Waste from Sonamarg Town  Type B: Waste from road between Sonamarg and Holy cave along with intermediate camps

The proposed project will involve collection, transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of type B waste considering 2 months operation period (July and August) per year since the road remains closed for remaining year. SWM plan for Type A waste shall be designed for eight months operation in a year and will include non pilgrim tourist and local residents.

The waste from base camp will be collected and treated in organic waste composter of 3 TPD capacity. All other waste will be taken to landfill site.

3.5.2 Process Description

From the waste characterization diagram, type B waste will consist of biodegradable waste, recycled waste and inert waste.

The recycled waste will be segregated before composting and will be given to the recycler. The organic waste will be composted through in-vessel composting system while, inert waste will be disposed directly to landfill site.

There are numerous technologies available for treatment of organic waste, however due to cold climate; in-vessel composting system will be adopted.

Composting Process

Composting is an organized method of producing compost manure by adopting natural phenomenon. It is a biological treatment method involving micro-organisms which decompose the biodegradable components of waste. Compost is particularly useful as organic manure because it contains plant nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) as well as micro nutrients which can be utilized for the growth of plants.

Composting can be carried out in two ways i.e. aerobically and anaerobically. In aerobic composting, the aerobic micro-organisms oxidize organic compounds to Carbon dioxide, Nitrite and Nitrate. Carbon from organic compounds is used as a source of energy while nitrogen is recycled. Due to exothermic reaction, temperature of the composting mass increases. The temperature of compost heap will reach 70°C within 6 to10 days, and slowly cool off back to ambient temperatures as the biological decomposition is completed. In anaerobic process, the anaerobic micro-organisms, while metabolizing the nutrients, break down the organic compounds through a process of reduction. A very small amount of energy is released during the process and the temperature of composting mass does not rise too much.

Turning of the material mixes the different components and aerates the mixture and a proper carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio of 26-31) in the organic matter leads to complete and rapid composting. The composting process generally takes 17 to 180 days period to complete. Composting can be carried out by the following techniques:

 Open or Windrow composting - This done out of doors in areas where higher ambient temperatures are available. This type of composting is done with simple equipment and is a slower process;  Enclosed system composting, where the composting is performed in some enclosure (e.g., a tank, a box, a container or a vessel).

In-Vessel Compositing In-vessel composting vessel is a double-walled tunnel (stainless steel interior, burnished steel exterior) insulated to control the heat produced when organic materials decompose. Oxygen in the vessel is maintained at 17%. In the mixing zones, specially designed spinners throw the waste forward to ensure it is well mixed and aerated. Air is continuously drawn out of the composter in order to maintain a negative pressure. This prevents air from escaping from the vessel and ensures that all exhausted air is passed through a bio filter to remove contaminants and odour. After retention time of 14-28 days in the vessel, the finished compost is removed from the vessel and filtered on a shaker screen. One compositing plant of 10 TPD capacity for 10 yrs will be installed at site. The process is described in Figure 3-3.

KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS | FEBRUARY, 2016 8

Figure 3-3: Compositing process

During Yatra period, waste generated from Baltal base camp will be collected and transported to proposed landfill facility for further treatment, while waste from Panchatarni base camp will be segregated at source and further will be processed into the small organic waste converter of capacity of 3 TPD.

Organic Waste Composter

The waste is chopped, cut, fluidized and homogenized with appropriate bio-culture and organic media like shredded dried horticulture waste, saw dust, ready manure or any other similar type of organic media to absorb excess moisture and make it free flow. The excess moisture is controlled during homogenization process in OWC machine with the use of organic media. The treated waste does not have bad odour and does not attract birds and animals. The OWC operation is a 15 - 30 minutes batch cycle. The output from OWC machine is called “Raw Compost” having uniform coloured and soil structured coarse powder, free of bad odour. The microbial culture and the homogenizing action in OWC machine accelerates the composting cycle.

The raw compost is collected in aerated crates and kept in curing rack. Due to thermophylic composting process the temperature of the raw compost rises above 60・ C. In order to maintain the temperature around 60・ C the moisture is sprayed through fogging system on the material during the curing cycle. 1st day no moisture is provided. Next 7 days 4 to 5 times a day moisture is given with an interval of 3 to 4 hours (with a spraying duration of 40 to 50 seconds at a time) depending upon the climatic conditions of particular location. After seven days, manure is left for drying for 2 days.

After 10 days, manure is partly used again as an absorbent for the process. Repeated operations are to be followed. Remaining manure is to be kept in storage area to reduce moisture percentage upto 25-30% for first 20 days. Then can be used in garden/landscaping/agriculture etc.

The OWC System can offer several advantages viz.

KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS | FEBRUARY, 2016 9

 Clean and Eco Friendly treatment of Organic Waste at the Decentralized Community Level.  Homogenized Odour Free output in 10 to 15 minutes of processing in OWC machine.  Matured Compost in just 10 to 15 days using Excel’s Curing System.  Easy to handle.  Do not attract flies, mosquitoes, rats, animals and birds.  Reduce long distance transportation of Organic fraction of MSW.

Land fill

Landfill is the last process for the safe disposal of inorganic waste generate from the town. The ‘life’ of a sanitary landfill (SLF) will comprise of an ‘active’ period and a ‘closure and post closure’ period. The ‘active’ period may typically range from 20 to 25 years depending on the availability of land area. The ‘closure and post-closure’ period for which a sanitary landfill will be monitored and maintained will be 25 years. In the proposed project, the life of sanitary landfill site is considered as 10 years having area of landfill structure is 2450 sqm.

The layout of landfill will comprise of following layers:

Bottom liner

 90 cm thick compacted clay or compacted amended soil (to be laid in 3 layers of thickness 30 cm each), above compacted sub-base.  HDPE1 Geo-membrane of minimum thickness 1.5 mm would be laid above compacted clay liner  Geo-textile layer above HDPE layer.

Drainage Layer

3.9.1 Leachate Generation and treatment:

Quantity of leachate generated from vehicle washing area, domestic wastewater and landfill will be 10 KLD which will be treated in leachate treatment plant. The treatment includes primary, biological and tertiary treatment. In primary treatment, lime and alum with or without poly dosing is added to remove suspended and colloidal solids. The secondary or biological treatment includes removal of organic matter i.e. COD, BOD by using MBBR/MBR/surface aerator or diffuser system. Biological sludge will be settled into tube settler or clarifier and will be re-circulated again into the aeration system. The treated effluent from biological system will further require NaOCl dosing for removal of residual matter. The Pressure sand filter or activated carbon filter will be used to remove solids and finally water can be disposed as per disposal norms. The sludge will be dewatered into the drying bed or filter press and will be disposed to landfill facility. The treated leachate will either be used for gardening or sent to nearest STP plant for further treatment and disposal.

3.9.2 Hazardous Waste Generation

Used oil (category 5.1) generated from DG sets will be collected & sent to authorized recyclers.
