Operation Stage

During the operation stage, two types of waste are expected to be generated viz. (i) municipal or domestic waste and (ii) landscape waste iii) e-waste. Measures to be taken to minimize the adverse impact due the said waste are given below:

Municipal Solid Waste Adequate number of collection bins separate for biodegradable and non-biodegradable

waste shall be provided as per The Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rule, 2000. Waste form such bin shall be collected separately on daily bases.

All the collection bin shall be properly maintain on regular bases.

Arrangement will be made with concern authority, for the providing garbage station or transfer point, from where all waste collected from collection bin shall be disposed off for further disposal by the municipal authorities.

Landscape Waste

Landscape waste comprises of fallen leaves and other vegetative material shall be collected at the secured location such that it shall not hindered daily activity schedule or washed away by the surface run off causing choking of drains, etc. For such waste also, adequate arrangement shall be worked out with municipal authority to collect and disposed such waste in appropriate manner.

E-waste

E-waste has been defined as “waste electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part or rejects from their manufacturing and repair process, which are intended to be discarded”. Whereas Electrical and electronic equipment has been defined as “equipment which is dependent on electrical currents or electro-magnetic fields to be fully functional”. Since it is aIt compant the e-waste will be handled according to the e-waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2011 have been notified in May 2011 and which are effective from 01-05-2012.

FIRE PROTECTION

Fire protection is one of the most essential services to be provided. In design component of the project adequate measure has being taken as per the provisions of the National Building Code (2005).
