After verifying the CPCB/SPCB registration for those who recycles hazardous waste as per Schedule-1V. After disposal of all the hazardous waste to TSDF/ incinerator /reprocessor. Board is issuing authorization to the above industries accordingly authorise them to dispose the hazardous waste to authorised 1) Incinerator 2) Re-processor 3) Co-incineration in cement kiln & 4) Common disposal facility. Board is issuing notification in leading news paper about the Hazardous Waste Rules, 2008 and appeal to the Industrialist to comply the rules. Board is issuing closer order under section 5 of Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 for those industries not complying to the rules. Hon’ble Supreme Court in its order No. SLP No. 657/95 dated: 14/10/2003 issued directions to all State Pollution Control Boards to develop TSDF for disposal of Hazardous waste generated in their State Jurisdiction in the interest of public health and environment. Follow up Action taken by State Government (DFEE): The Department of Ecology and Environment and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board in collaboration with the German Technical Co-operation (GTZ) have established a table site at Dabaspet, Nelamangala, Bangalore Rural dist. Scientific study on site suitability: The Dabaspet site has been established after scientific survey like soil investigation, geo technical analysis, hydro geological investigations and other site specific studies. Intensive public awareness programs were conducted within 5Km of radius of site for nearly 8 months. Public Hearing was also conducted on 20-02-2009.Then GOK notified the site on 21/02/2003.The important stake holders are as follows. a) Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB). b) Department of Ecology & Environment (DFEE). c) Private Operator (OP) i.e. M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd., d) Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB). Landfill Design Details: The Environment Impact Assessment report includes composite liners for the proposed landfill in the TSDF. This ensures prevention of pollution of ground water and soil. The design of the landfill facility is carried out by German Technical experts under GTZ activities. The landfill system contains liner system with drainage for the leachate collection inside the landfill, the leachate so generated will be sent to solar evaporation ponds. No waste in the form liquid or solid will be disposed outside the site. Also the system provided with rain water harvesting and hence no flow outside the premises is ensured. Steering Committee: The Steering committee was constituted on February 2002 to review the progress made on TSDF development. The Steering Committee constituted for the project with the Principle Secretary, Department of Ecology, Environment and Forests as its Chairman The TSDF site is located about 45kms from Bangalore on Bangalore - Pune Highway (NH-4). The total land area acquired 93.18 acres. The site was notified by the Government of Karnataka on 21.2.2003. Preliminary investigations and REIA were completed in January 2004 by GTZ, Germany, under HAWA Project. The State Government accorded approval as required under Rule 8 of Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2003 vide Government Order No. FEE 293 ECO 2002, Bangalore dated 21st April 2004. The conceptual design drawings and collection systems relating to TSDF including the final DPR was prepared in June 2004 by GTZ. State Cabinet clearance has been obtained for the project in the month of June 2005 The state government signed the agreement for construction of TSDF with Private Operator on 01/12/2006. The KSPCB issued consents to TSDF activity on 19 June 2008. The Operator started TSDF operation on 21/6/2008 and started collection of the waste under sheds. The operator started land filling activity on 28/01/2009. As on 31/12/2011 total hazardous waste disposed into the landfill is about 72,200 MT. The landfillable hazardous waste samples were collected & analysed for different parameters in their own laboratory by M/s. Ramky Enviro engineers. By knowing the composition of hazardous waste it is treated by adding lime, cement, fly ash etc., then the treated hazardous waste is disposed to landfill site. It is proposed to construct 24 cells of each capacity of 44,000 MT, the details of the Common disposal facility i.e., Treatment Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF). 444 industries have become the member of TSDF In Bangalore URBAN & RURAL (1939 Units), Other Districts (1183 Units) industries are identified as hazardous waste generating industries. These industries generate Landfillable, Recyclable and Incinerable hazardous waste. The annual estimated quantity is as follows: CATEGORY of Hazardous Waste URBAN & RURAL Districts OTHER Districts Landfillable in MT/A 16,564.0 30,482.7 Recyclable in MT/A 44,108.7 50,743.6 Incinerable in MT/A 19,133.6 17,877.7 TOTAL in MT/A 79,806.3 99,104.0 The Landfillable Hazardous Waste is collected from each industry by M/s. Ramky Enviro Engineers Ltd. by their own special vehicle and transported to the TSDF site, Dabaspet. Both the generator and receiver submit the acknowledgement in the Form-13 to the Board. The Incinerable Hazardous Waste is also transported by respective incinerator and incinerated in double chamber incinerator having Air Pollution Control equipment at 800oC & o 1000 C respectively.
