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 - SARAI ALAMGIR 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 - SARAI ALAMGIR Flow Chart Sarai Alamgir – 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 - SARAI ALAMGIR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SARAI ALAMGIR 2.1 Location Sarai Alamgir is located on the main National Highway (Lahore-Islamabad Grand Trunk Road). Closest cities are Jhelum across the river, Dina, Kharian etc. 2.2 General Information Sarai Alamgir was actually originated from ‘Sarai” built in the era of Aurengzeb Alamgir, a resting place for the royal family to proceed towards the north. In the southern side the residential colonies were started establishing and first mohalla namely, ‘Shahi Mohalla” came into being as the first residential development. In 1866, the town was linked with the railway line which further expanded the town. Sarai Alamgir was raised to the level of Municipal Committee in 1976. After the implementation of Punjab Local Government Ordinance 2001, it was given the status of TMA. The town is a historic crossroads between the ancient Grand Trunk Road and the Jhelum River. Nearby are the site of the Battle of the Hydaspes, the Alexandrian city of Bukephala or Bucephala and the huge Rohtas Fort. The main crops include Rice, Wheat, Sugarcane and Tobacco. 2.3 Population The Sarai Alamgir has population growth rate of 2.69 % as per 1998 Population Census, which is quiet similar to the provincial average. The population of Town was 37,166 individuals in 1998, and is currently estimated at 55,344 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 94,109 individuals in 20 years from now (year 2033). 4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - SARAI ALAMGIR Town's Population Projection YEAR 1998 2013 2018 2023 2028 2033 POPULATION 37,166 55,344 63,199 72,169 82,412 94,109 100000 90000 94,109 80000 82,412 70000 72,169 60000 63,199 Year 50000 55,344 Projected Population 40000 30000 20000 10000 0 2013 2013 2023 2028 2033 Projected Population 5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - SARAI ALAMGIR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – SITUATION ANALYSIS 3.1 Solid Waste Generation Given current estimated population parameters and national per capita solid waste standards, Sarai Alamgir currently generates about 22 tons of municipal solid waste daily, and is estimated to have a yearly volume of 7970 tons. In absence of a proper solid waste management system and data non availability, such estimates and calculations are based upon 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 Shorkot is assumed around 0.4 kg/capita/day.
