2. Site boundary was marked and verified from the Engineer-in-charge before taking up
the field work.
3. All existing features like, trees, all types of structures/ buildings, concrete platforms,
roads, garage, workshops, weigh bridges, high-mast lighting units, power/ telephone/
OFC lines, pylons, drainage course (both lined & unlined), green space,
encroachments, hutments, etc., were located accurately.
4. Top and bottom edges of MSW heaps were located accurately.
5. Based on the site conditions, survey was carried out beyond site boundary up to
about 30-50m to locate habitation, religious centers, roads, wells, drain, stream/ river/
creek or any other prominent features as per the directions of the Engineer-in charge.
6. Block levels were taken at 5m interval within the site in a systematic manner along
the grid lines. Wherever the topography changes sharply, extra levels were taken to
get the realistic ground profile. Reduced Levels were calculated with respect to the
GTS Bench Mark.
7. Contours were generated at 0.5 m interval.

WEIGHMENT STUDY:
For quantity of daily waste coming to the site, all the vehicles involved in collection
and transportation of solid waste should be weighed at the nearest weighbridge. The
vehicles made 2 -3 trips per day. Every trip of the vehicle should be measured at the
weigh bridge to get the accurate data. The net weight of waste should be calculated
by adding all the data. Similar, activity should be conducted for three consecutive
days. The average of waste quantity for all the three days will give the quantity of
waste dumped at site per day.
At present, the weighment data has not been received from the RNN, considering the
population of 132559 and floating population of 12344 as well as assuming the per
capita generation of 400 gm/capita/day, the total per day waste generation of
Rishikesh city is 57.96 TPD. The same will be verified after receiving the weighment
data from RNN.

3.5 LEGACY WASTE QUALITATIVE ASSESSMNET

The qualitative assessment for legacy waste is yet to be carried out for Rishikesh
city. The legacy waste sampling methodology and parameters to be analyzed was
adopted as per CPHEEO Manual.
The qualitative assessment of the dumped legacy waste at the dumping ground,
especially its physical and chemical properties is essential for determining the
future technological options for its treatment and disposal. The finding from this
study is feed into the process and facilitates taking future decisions, especially in
terms of selection of the technology.

Details of the characterization study are attached in Annexure IV.
3.5.1 SAMPLING METHODOLOGY

1. Identification of different locations considering the surface gradient of the dumpsite
from up-gradient to down-gradient. 2 samples in cross-gradient of the site need to be
taken.
