The composition and amount of generated waste is a visible expression of civilization and a way to measure the standard of living of nations. In fact, the amount of waste generated by households, agriculture, and industries in our country seems gravely linked to population increases and rising GDP. The gigantic amounts of waste that are hauled to dumps and accumulate in heaps and open pits have grown to become a major environmental issue. Landfilling is still the world's most widely used method for managing and treating waste. This practice has detrimental effects on the environment: land occupation, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, groundwater pollution, odor, and aesthetics. In cases where landfilling is impractical and no space is available, electricity from waste is the preferred method to reduce the volumes of waste. The landfill dump site has collapsed sometimes due to over dumping of waste. The dumping in landfills is an unsustainable method for getting rid of waste and conversion of energy from waste has been found to be suitable means of depositing it. However, industrialized areas have adopted regulations to divert waste from landfills through recycling, treatment, and materials and energy recovery. In addition, economic conditions and regulated markets have stimulated the use of waste as a resource and a source of energy. Waste-to- Electricity (WTE) encompasses methods to extract the valuable energy entrapped in waste for the production of electricity and heat. Waste collected in city contains a large amount of biological and renewable materials. It is therefore a source of renewable energy. As a consequence, energy-from-waste contributes to energy security and diversification, and matches the growing demand for renewable energy in a carbon constrained world. The objectives of this project are: 1. This project is green initiative for electricity production.

To reduce the problem associated with disposal of unprocessed waste as landfill and to meet the objective and goal set for the country under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM). 3. Recently a serious mishap occurred when a part of Gazipur landfill site located in the area of East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) collapsed because of over dumping of waste. To avert such crises and in compliance with SWM Rule, 2016 the SDMC has engaged IIT Delhi for assisting the corporation in the process of remediation/scientific capping/closure of the existing dumpsite at SLF Okhla. Hence new project Waste to Electricity is proposed at Okhla. 4. The municipal solid waste generated in Delhi is about 9,400 MT of municipal solid waste at the rate of 0.50 kg/capita/day. Out of this, nearly 3,500 MT of waste remains untreated and has to be dumped/processed at some site. The landfill/dumping sites have already exceeded the prescribed limit of height and has severe consequences on environment, health and hygiene. The dumps have attained the height of over 40 meter as opposed to the permissible limit of 20 meter. South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) is currently collecting about 3,250 t/d of waste and is managing the waste disposal through: 5. Supply of about 1,400 t/d to the TOWML W t E project 6. Supply of about 150 t/d to the Okhla composting plant and 7. Balance 1,700 t/d to landfill Project Proponent proposes to develop “Waste to Electricity (WtE) Plant at Tehkhand Okhla (25 MW)” with a view to reduce the problem associated with disposal of unprocessed waste as landfill, thereby complying with the various regulations of scientific method of landfill as well as the objective and goal set for the country under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM). YES Enviro Solutions 2 M/s TEHKHAND WASTE to ELECTRICITY PROJECT LIMITED PPROPOSED MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) TO ELECTRICITY GENERATING FACILITY AT TEHKHAND, OKHLA, DELHI Draft EIA/EMP REPORT M/s Amaltas Enviro Industrial Consultants LLP (AEC) was earlier awarded the work of conducting EIA studies by SDMC. The project was presented for approval of ToR before the Expert Committee on 28.2.2018. The MOM of expert committee reads as follows:- “Committee further took a note that the consultant engaged for EIA studies is accredited by QCI-NABET for category ‘B’ projects in Thermal Sector. However, PP is required to engage Category ‘A’ consultant for the proposed project.” Subsequently, the work of EIA studies has been awarded to M/s Yes Enviro Solution, Noida by SDMC. M/s Yes Enviro Solutions is a QCI approved consultancy for conducting EIA studies for Category A Thermal Power Project (QCI approval dated 13th Oct, 2017). Same has been intimated to MOEF&CC by SDMC vide letter dated 01/03/2018 (Annexure-I). E.2.0 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS As per EIA Notification, 2006 & its amendments, all electricity generating units of capacity > 20 MW (using municipal solid non-hazardous waste as fuel) will be treated as Category-A project and will require Environmental Clearance from MoEF&CC. Further, in the proposed project, general conditions are also applicable as the site is within 5 km radius of Asola Wild Life Sanctuary, Okhla Bird Sanctuary ESZ, Delhi-Haryana Interstate Boundary, Aravalli ESZ and Critically Polluted Okhla Industrial Area. Therefore, project requires to obtain Environmental Clearance from the MoEF&CC. Capacity of proposed project is 25 MW, hence a draft Environment Impact Assessment Report has been considered mandatory for the Public Hearing. The EIA report would facilitate in obtaining Environmental Clearance (EC) from the MoEF&CC for the project. E.3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is proposed to be located at Tehkhand, Okhla, South Delhi, Delhi.
