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 – SAHIWAL-SARGODHA 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 – SAHIWAL-SARGODHA Flow Chart Sahiwal-Sargodha – 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 – SAHIWAL-SARGODHA SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SAHIWAL-SARGODHA 2.1 Location It is situated at a distance of 37 Kms. from Sargodha on Jhang-Sargodha Road and is 5 Km. away from the left bank of Jhelum River. 2.2 General Information Sahiwal-Sargodha is an ancient town. It was established during the reign of Emperor Sher Shah Soori Previously, it was a small village. The Town indicates the characters of an ancient walled city having six gates namely. (1) Lahori, (2) Kabli, (3) Kashmiri, (4) Jhamti (5) Multani (6) Multani Kohna leading to main bazaar through zigzag streets. The old town is surrounded by Circular Road. In the past, it was a very famous town from the business point of view. Before partition, non Muslims and had a very flourishing trade of ivory. After the migration, a slump occurred to this trade. Moreover, the investors, due to precariousness of floods din not establish any industry in this town and thus its development awfully hampered. The main tribes / castes are Baloch, Kalyar, Maken, Arrian and others. The environs of the town consist of very good fertile land and are used for general cropping under canal irrigation. The common crops are sugar cane, wheat etc. The yield is however; low to moderate on account of water shortage, top soil salinity and water logging. The town committee Sahiwal-Sargodha earned its status as Tehsil in 1994 and became Tehsil Municipal Administration Sahiwal-Sargodha in 2001 after devolution plan. 2.3 Population The Sahiwal-Sargodha has population growth rate of 2.44 % as per 1998 Population Census, which is quiet similar to the provincial average. The population of Town was 32,019 individuals in 1998, and is currently estimated at 45,968 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 74,446 individuals in 20 years from now (year 2033). 4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – SAHIWAL-SARGODHA Town's Population Projection YEAR 1998 2013 2018 2023 2028 2033 POPULATION 32,019 45,968 51,856 58,499 65,993 74,446 80000 70000 74,446 60000 65,993 58,499 50000 51,856 Year 40000 45,968 Projected Population 30000 20000 10000 0 2013 2018 2023 2028 2033 Projected Population 5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – SAHIWAL-SARGODHA SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – SITUATION ANALYSIS 3.1 Solid Waste Generation Given current estimated population parameters and national per capita solid waste standards, Sahiwal-Sargodha currently generates about 18.39 tons of municipal solid waste daily, and is estimated to have a yearly generation of 6712 tons.
