Subjectl Malfunctioning'of Municipal Solid Waste dumping site at at Achen,

Srinagar.
NOTICE
o Whereas, no unit can be put in operation without the necessary Pollution control
measures/devices as envisaged under Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,
1974 and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.

o Whereas, it is mandatory for Srinagar Municipal Corporation to take adequate measures
for control of Pollution from its own sources within the premises of Landfill site at Achen,
o Whereas, it is mandatory for Municipal Corporation to ensure that no air, polluUon
problem or any nuisance is created in the area due to discharge of the emission from the
Landfill site.
Whereas, Municipal Corporation is bound to achieve the quality of effluent discharge
within the prescribed permissible norms.

{} Whereas, it is mandatory for Municipal Authority to provide adequate arrangements for
accidental leakagesidischarge of any'pollutant that has adverse irpact on Environment.
o Whereas, during the inspection of the site by undersigned along with Scienlist and
lit
$r District officer Srinagar on 1't February 2017 and following observations were made:
V'
i 1) That, good housekeeping practices were not adopted at the site as the waste
dumped at cell 2nd is not covered with thjn layer of soil at the end of each working
day which results in bad odour at the site'
2) That, out of three leachate treatment plants only two LTPs were 1'ound functional
resulting large qap of leachate generation aird treatment as CItle 60 KLD E-TP
vuas forsncn e1efumct, therr:by seriously corrtpromising the capability of the said
unit.
157
ad
3) That, huge quantity of leachate was also found oozing from the 2nd cell in an
uncontrolled manner which gets discharged into premises ultimately flnding its
way into public drainage which otherwise should go into leachate treatment plant
for treatment, Hence is a serious potential health hazard.
4) That, n0 green belt of suitable plant species has been raised
5). That, Methane Gas Flare installed in the 1't cell to prevent the emission of
methane gas into the atmosphere was found defunct thereby becoming a serious
threat to public health
6) That ground water pump near dumping site was found defunct, due to
the reason the ground water sample could not be collected from the site,
Therefore, in light of the above, you are directed to explain as to why legal action as
warranted under law should not be initiated within week's positively,
