In this connection, the Government of Punjab is going to implement a solid waste management initiative in certain group of TMAs. The Purpose of this initiative is to develop effective solid waste management plans for TMAs which have adequate machinery to a certain extent. In the regard, it has been decided to gather the information regarding resource availability with TMAs for conducting detailed situation analysis in solid waste management sector. 1.2 Background Solid Waste Management is a major environment and health hazard in the urban areas of Pakistan. Cities economies are fast growing, business activity and consumption patterns are driving up solid waste quantities. In Pakistan the collection of waste is sporadic and the disposal is poor. Despite the fact that solid waste services represent the single largest expenditure item, less than 50 percent of the waste generated is collected; and is mostly disposed at dumpsites or roadsides. Additionally, recent history has shown that lifestyle is changing at a brisk pace in the city. Due to changing lifestyles and consumption habits, SWM has been increasingly recognized as one of the major environmental issue in the city. The rapid growth of many small to medium sized towns in Punjab is causing unprecedented deterioration in the ecosystem. It is also placing enormous pressure on the capacity of these towns to provide adequate Solid Waste Management (SWM) services for their increasing populations. Chief Ministers Chief Minister's Special Initiative on Solid Waste Management is an initiative that seeks to address SWM challenges of these towns. The objectives of the exercise is to address SWM investments in these urban centers and build institutional and human resource capacities at local and regional levels for the sustainability of SWM services to reduce the environmental impact of urbanization. The initiative has a number of components including solid waste management (SWM) which seeks to minimize negative environmental and health impacts associated with poor solid waste management. The strategy is to provide 1) sustainable solid waste management system/interventions for each focal town, capable of collecting, transporting, treating and safely dispose what ultimately remains as waste 2) Capacity Building and Training component which seeks to ensure effective service delivery of SWM. 1 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - AHMAD PUR SIAL 1.3 Scope of the Assignment The overarching objective of the project is to assist the cities in implementing a solid waste management intervention by developing a coherent model ISWM system in a medium-sized city, but replicable in the other cities of Pakistan. Capacity building is a second key objective that will help the provincial and local governments to move away from the present ad-hoc investments to strategic and sustainable development of their SWM sector in Pakistan. The report includes a situation analysis of the current situation of the city’s SWM system approaching it from technical, institutional, and financial aspects perspectives, identifying economic, social, environmental, and governance issues and opportunities. The opportunity for private provision of SWM services is identified in the report and will be covered in more detail in the blueprint. In this connection a comprehensive gap analysis has been done to suggest recommendations. Finally, an action plan is suggested on two levels i.e. short term 6 months and for next one year. 1.4 Approach & Methodology PMDFC developed a proactive approach to develop the SWM Action Plans under the guidance of Local Government & Community Development Department (LG & CCD). Detailed brain storming sessions were held between them and consensus was evolved to undertake the rapid assessment of solid waste management of 63 TMAs. These 63 TMAs were selected from 105 TMAs excluding City District Government (CDGs). Those TMAs were selected that have adequate number of SWM collection machinery. A team of surveyors who were recently trained by Urban Unit, P&D Department were briefed by PMDFC officials and in data collection workshop held in Local Government Board office. In the field secondary agency data was collected from TMAs by the surveyor for human resource, machinery, SWM primary Collection, Secondary Collection, Final disposal sites, financial details, parking areas etc on prescribed data collection formats developed by PMDFC. Qualitative information along with pictures was also collected in detail about quality of SWM service provided at each solid waste step. In addition, citizen response and public perception about TMA service was also gauged. Field SWM data was collected by surveyors and sent back to PMDFC. After field data collection exercise data was cleaned arranged and analyzed by PMDFC. GIS maps were developed for analysis. Main approach was identifying existing capacity of cities, identifying gaps and developed recommendations. Following process was adopted in this assignment: 2 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - AHMAD PUR SIAL Flow Chart Ahmedpur Sial – Situation Analysis (Solid Waste Management) Chief Minister’s Special Initiative on Solid Waste Management Consultations/discussions between LG&CDD and PMDFC Decision about devising Action Plans for SWM in cities Situation Analysis Development Training Analysis of of Data Data cleaning Development workshop of different of coverage Collection and analysis surveyors components Maps Formats SWM Situation Analysis Reports Way Forward: Implementation of recommendation devised on the basis of city Situation Analysis 3 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - AHMAD PUR SIAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF AHMEDPUR SIAL 2.1 Location It is located at 30.41°N 71.46°E with an altitude of 119 meters. It is situated on the Khushab - Muzaffargargh Road, 98 km from Muzaffargarh and 150 km from Khushab. It lies just a few kilometres from the Chenab River. 2.2 General Information Ahmad Pur Sial land is rich in culture and has a profound history of deep influence of Sufi saints on the people of this area. Probably it is due to the preaching of saints that humility and hospitality are dominant values in the prevalent culture. It is a highly agricultural are with wheat, cotton, rice and sugar cane being the major crops. Ahmad Pur Sial was raised to the status of Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) in October 2005. Previously it was a part of Tehsil Municipal Administration Shorkot. Under the new status, Ahmad Pur Sial city was made CO Unit Headquarter whereas Garh Mahjaraja was made non-headquarter CO Unit. 2.3 Population The Ahmed Pur Sial has population growth rate of 2.87 % as per 1998 Population Census, which is quiet similar to the provincial average. The population of Town was 21,254 individuals in 1998, and is currently estimated at 32,492 individuals. Given the population growth rate and using 1998 as the base year for arithmetic growth method estimation, the population of town is likely to increase to 57,219 individuals in 20 years from now (year 2033). 4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - AHMAD PUR SIAL Town's Population Projection YEAR 1998 2013 2018 2023 2028 2033 POPULATION 21,254 32,492 37,430 43,118 49,671 57,219 70000 60000 57,219 50000 49,671 40000 43,118 Year 37,430 30000 Population Forecast 32,492 20000 10000 0 2013 2018 2023 2028 2033 Projected Population 5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - AHMAD PUR SIAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – SITUATION ANALYSIS 3.1 Solid Waste Generation Given current estimated population parameters and national per capita solid waste standards, Ahmad Pur Sial currently generates about 13.00 tons of municipal solid waste daily, and is estimated to have a yearly generation of 4745 tons. In absence of a proper solid waste management system and non availability of data, such estimates and calculations are based upon rough estimates of current population X 0.4 kg/capita/day solid waste produced. Solid waste generation in Pakistan ranges between 0.283 to 0.612 kg/capita/day (http://epd.punjab.gov.pk/?q=solid_waste), therefore waste generation for Ahmad Pur Sial is assumed around 0.4 kg/capita/day. Due to its population growth and increase in its economic activity, Ahmad Pur Sial’s daily generation is expected to accelerate to Current Per capita
