Wastewater Generation & Treatment:
There will be no waste water generation from the construction activities. The only source of wastewater
during construction phase is from labors use. Generated sewage (around 22m3/day) shall be disposed
via septic tank.
The domestic solid waste shall be segregated to biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste and
handed over to handle over to vendors for disposal. The entire construction waste will be disposed off
to authorized vendors & Excavation soil will be use for backfilling, leveling.
Rain Water Harvesting Details:
Rain water harvesting is proposed to conserve rain water and thereby reduce surface run off from
project site. Further, the run-off from landscaping, paved and other unpaved areas is diverted through
storm water drains on both the sides of road. Roads will be cambered with storm water channels on
both sides to ensure that they are fairly dry and safe in monsoon. Part of the storm water can be
passed through the proposed lake to fill it in monsoon and overflown on the other side. Refer
Annexure-VI & VII for detailed drawing.
Solid Waste Generation & Disposal Method:
The solid waste generated during operation phase shall be segregated to biodegradable and non-
biodegradable waste as mentioned above.
The wet garbage will be treated in OWC & will be used as manure for landscaping. The recyclable dry
garbage disposed off to the vendors for recycling.
