Proposed Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility by M/s Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited, Ernakulam, Kerala PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Ltd. (KEIL) is a public limited company formed as Special Purpose Vehicle and promoted by the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) in association with various industries in the State for establishing Common Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility (CTSDF) for solid hazardous industrial waste in the State of Kerala. M/s UPL Ltd. was appointed as Developer of this project and they hold 53.5% equity in KEIL. A Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) is now proposed to be set up by KEIL where bio-medical waste, generated from a number of healthcare units, will be suitably treated to reduce adverse effects that this waste may pose. The Bio-medical Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, provides an option to the Bio-medical waste generators to get the biomedical waste treated and disposed at the CBWTF. Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited proposes to setup a Common Bio-medical Treatment Facility at Ambalamedu, within FACT CD Campus. The objective is to: Establish an Integrated Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment facility including the Incinerator, autoclave, shredder and effluent treatment unit. Collection of Segregated Biomedical waste and its transportation, storage, treatment and disposal in accordance to the Bio medical Waste Management and Handling Rules 1998 as amended thereof. Compliances with statutory and environmental norms. Develop concise waste management principles. Introduce a continuing waste management education program for all staff to increase awareness of Occupational Health & Safety issues and waste minimization principles. Adopt policies and procedures to minimize the environmental impacts of waste treatment and disposal. Reporting to regulatory authorities as needed SI. Parameters Description No 1 Identification of Project falls under Category “A” Projects of project activity 7 (d) as per EIA Notification dated 14th September, 2006 and its subsequent amendments dated 1st December 2009 and 4th April, 2011, under Common hazardous waste treatment, Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd., District-Solan, Himachal Pradesh 1 Proposed Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility by M/s Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited, Ernakulam, Kerala SI. Parameters Description No storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs). 2 Project Proponent M/s Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited. 3 Brief description Biomedical waste is generated from all health care of nature of the institutions; nursing homes, clinics, dispensaries, project veterinary institutions, animal houses, pathological laboratories, blood banks etc. The responsibility of collection, treatment and safe disposal of all types of solid wastes rests with the generator. A Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) is a set up where bio-medical waste, generated from a number of healthcare units, is suitably treated as per the prescribed procedure & norms laid down in the regulation. Proposed project of setting up of the Common Bio- medical Waste Treatment Facility includes Incinerator, Autoclave, Shredder and Effluent Treatment Plant. The present proposal is to utilize 2.5 acres land a part of TSDF site for setting up of Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility. The extent of land earmarked for the CBWTF will be keep apart from the remaining land of TSDF. 4 Salient Features of the Project 4.1 Proposed plant Proposed Capacity of CBWTF : capacity Equipment Capacity Number Incinerator 250-300 kg /hr 2 Autoclave 250 ltrs 2 Shredder 350 kg / hr 1 Effluent 50 m3 / day 1 Treatment Plant 4.2 Total Plot Area 2.5 Acres for this proposed activity 4.3 Location Site boundary coordinates are as follow: SL.NO Latitude Longitude 1 9°58'57.55"N 76°21'46.52"E 2 9°58'55.58"N 76°21'43.35"E 3 9°58'56.72"N 76°21'42.01"E 4 9°59'0.42"N 76°21'43.48"E Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd., District-Solan, Himachal Pradesh 2 Proposed Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility by M/s Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited, Ernakulam, Kerala SI.

Land is owned by Govt. of Kerala and has been leased to KEIL for 50 years. 5.0 Conclusion The estimated cost of the Project is about Rs. 4.9 crores Setting up of CBWTF by M/s Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited, shall be an important endeavor to mitigate the degradation of environment in the region. Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd., District-Solan, Himachal Pradesh 3 Proposed Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility by M/s Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited, Ernakulam, Kerala 2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION Kerala is a state considered to be having a developed modern society. The consumption of more resources results in the generation of more waste. All types of waste including solid, hazardous and biomedical waste generation in the state are more compared to other states in the country. There is a series of actions initiated at National and State level to abate the problems arisen due to the wastes, particularly the pollution problem. Biomedical waste is generated from all health care institutions, nursing homes, clinics, dispensaries, veterinary institutions, animal houses, pathological laboratories, blood banks etc. The responsibility of collection, treatment and safe disposal of all types of solid waste rests with the generator. The number of Health Care Facilities in the State is highest among all the States. Its number and sophistication is also changing. Moreover, there is a trend that more and more foreigners are making use of the Health Care Facilities in the State. This will in turn increase the quantity of Bio medical waste generation and so requires enhancement in waste management facilities, apart from planning to meet the future requirements. At present the total number of beds in the state is about 1,10,000 and the biomedical waste generation is about 300- 400 gm per bed per day. With the modernization & improvement in the health care establishments use of disposals shall increase, it is estimated that the biomedical waste generation will be more that 500 gm per bed per day. It is roughly estimated that about 1.3 to 2.0 kg/bed/day of solid wastes are generated from health care institutions of which 15 to 20% are infectious biomedical waste. The total number of beds in Government and Private institutions are about 40,000 and 60,000 respectively. Indian Medical Association has established one Bio-Medical Treatment Facility at Palakkad. This facility is unable to take care of entire biomedical waste generated at hospitals and health care institutions spread across the length and breadth of the state. There is a need to establish at least two more biomedical treatment facilities, one in the central part and other in the southern part of the State. The present proposal is to utilize 2.5 acres of land for setting up of Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility at TSDF site. The extent of land earmarked for the CBWTF will be keep apart from the remaining land of TSDF. A Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) is a set up where bio-medical waste, generated from a number of healthcare units, is suitably Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd., District-Solan, Himachal Pradesh 4 Proposed Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facility by M/s Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited, Ernakulam, Kerala treated to reduce adverse effects that this waste may pose. The treated waste may finally be sent for disposal in a landfill or for recycling purposes. 2.1 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT Identification of Project The Proposed project of addition of CBWTF as a part of the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facilities (TSDFs) of falls under Category A, schedule 7(d) as per the EIA notification 14th Sep, 2006 and subsequent amendments dated 1st December, 2009 & 4th April, 2011. The setting up of CBWTF attracts the recent directions of National Green Tribunal dated 28th November, 2013 making Environmental Clearance from MoEF mandatory.
