Abstract
Local Self Government - Guidelines for managing Construction and
Demolition waste in Kerala - approved - orders issued

LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT (W.M.)DEPARTMENT

G.O.(Ms)No.168/2022/LSGD Dated,Thiruvananthapuram, 30-07-2022
Read 1 Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules 2016
2 Draft guidelines submitted by Executive Director, Suchitwa
Mission on 30.06.2022
ORDER

Rapid urbanization in the State has resulted in the profileration of civil

structures. Many new buildings are either constructed in new premises or after
the demolition of existing buildings. Renovations also result in the generation
of significant material waste in the form of Construction & Demolition (C&D)
Waste.
2. The roles of local authorities as per the Construction and Demolition
Waste Management Rules 2016 include instructions and incentives to waste
generators regarding proper disposal of waste, arrangements for transportation,
containment and disposal, keeping track of C&D waste generated and
maintaining data base and incentivising processing of C&D waste. C urrently
reusable C&D waste materials like steel, window & door frames, wood, roofing
tiles etc generated in the State are being collected by various serap dealers and
the major portion of concrete waste generated are being used for ground leveling
activities including road construction. There have been few instances reported
with regard to C & D waste being illegally used to fill up water bodies and
wetlands around urban centres. It is necessary to frame State guidelines for
waste processing facilities to
managing C&D waste and to set up adequate C&D
prevent haphazard management, violation of the rules and damage to the
environment.
3. In these circumstances, Government are pleased to issue the guidelines
in
attached as Annexure, for management of Construction and Demolition waste
Kerala State.

GUIDELINES FOR MANAGING

CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTE IN
KERALA
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

1. BACKGROUND

The rapid urbanization in the State has resulted in the coming up of a number of civil
structures, either new ones or renovated ones. The new ones are either constructed in new
premises or after the demolition of an existing building. Such construction activities
including renovation generate huge quantities of material waste termed as Construction &
Demolition (C&D) Waste. Proper management including segregation, collection,
processing, and reuse of C&D waste has been the focus of various bodies of the
Government; C&D Waste Management Rules, 2016 has been issued by MoEF&CC
vide notification no. GSR 317(E) dated 29th March 2016, Guidelines on Environmental
Management of C&D wastes has been issued by CPCB in March 2017, Integrated
SWM Strategy in which the strategy on management of C&D Waste generated in the
State is included has been issued by the Government of Kerala Vide G.O (Rt)
811/2020/LSGD dated 01/05/2020. In addition to this, in order to have a clear strategy on
managing the C&D waste, these State-level guidelines are framed.

Major Components of C&D Waste are (Ref-CPCB guidelines, 2017):

➢ Cement concrete – 36 %

➢ Bricks Masonry – 31 %

➢ Soil, Sand and Gravel – 23 %

➢ Steel (from RCC, door/window frames, roofing support, railings of staircase, etc.) – 5
%

➢ Bitumen (In road excavations) – 2 %

➢ Timber/wood (especially demolition of old buildings) – 2 %

➢ Stone (marble, granite, sandstone) – 1 %

Currently reusable C&D waste materials like steel, window & door frames, wood, roofing
tiles etc generated in the State are being collected by various scrap dealers and the major
portion of concrete waste generated are being used for ground leveling activities including
road construction. Cases often reported are C & D wastes are used to illegally fill up water
bodies and wetlands around urban centres for ‘creating land’ for real estate development. It
is necessary to frame State guidelines for managing C&D waste and to set up adequate

2
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

C&D waste processing facilities to prevent C&D waste from getting dumped in public
places/water bodies/drains or being managed haphazardly in the State.

2. GOVERNING LEGISLATIONS

C&D waste management in the State shall be governed by the following legislations:

a. Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste Management Rules 2016.

Duties of various stakeholders like waste generator, service provider and their
contractors, local authority, pollution control board, State Government, Central
Government agencies, and Schedules & Forms as mentioned in the C&D rules 2016 shall
be deemed to be applicable regarding C&D waste management.

b. KMBR/KPBR Amendment Rules 2020

Amendments were made in Kerala Municipality Building Rules and Kerala Panchayat

No. 56/2020/LSGD dated 24/09/2020 respectively with an objective to manage the C&D
waste generated in the State. The amendments made in the building rules through
inserting ‘section 79A: Management of Construction and Demolition Waste’are as below:

i. Every permit holder for construction of a building, and for demolition of an existing
building or concrete structure shall be responsible for safe disposal of waste generated
during the process of such construction and demolition in accordance with the
Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016.

ii. The Government shall from time to time fix the Waste disposal charges for
municipalities or a group of municipalities payable by applicants at the time of
submitting applications seeking permits. It shall be competent for the Government to
fix differential charges depending on load and distance factor.

5. QUANTIFICATION OF C&D WASTE

Quantification of C&D waste is a primary requirement for managing the waste. Various
approaches which can be considered for quantifying the C&D waste generation are listed
below:

a. Activity-wise C&D waste quantification

Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council's (TIFAC) estimation

to quantify activity-wise C&D waste generation is as follows:

i. 40-60 kg per sq.m of C&D waste will be generated during new construction,
ii. 40-50 kg per sq.m of C&D waste will be generated during building repair,
iii. 300-500 kg per sq.m of C&D waste will be generated during the demolition
of buildings.

Based on the study conducted by LSGD planning, Kozhikode (February,2022) in the

selected LSGIs in the Kozhikode district the estimated C&D waste generation is as
follows:
i. 20-30 kg per sq.m of C&D waste will be generated during new construction,
ii. 300-350 kg per sq.m of C&D waste will be generated during the demolition
of buildings.
A study similar to that undertaken at Kozhikode may be carried out by all ULBs
taking the above-estimated values as reference to assess the activity-wise C&D waste
generation in their jurisdiction.

b. Local Self Government wise C&D waste quantification

5
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

10 % of total Municipal Solid Waste generated in the Local Self Governments may be
taken as the approximate quantity of C&D waste generation for planning purposes.

However, LSGIs shall be responsible for carrying out the C&D waste quantification
in their jurisdiction. The Study on “Construction & Demolition Waste Generation and
Management- Kozhikode” conducted by the LSGD Planning Kozhikode, could be
taken as a pointer to the quantity of C&D Waste being generated in various districts in
the State. The methodology followed in the report could be adopted for further studies
on the quantitative estimation of C&D Waste in Kerala.

6. SPECIFICATIONS OF C&D WASTE COLLECTION CENTRES

The location of collection centres shall be identified and decided by the Local Self
Government Institutions. LSGI shall facilitate collection of C&D waste from premises
of non-bulk generators through:

• Mobile collection units (on call basis facility and weekly schedule); and/or

• Designated collection centres within reasonable distance for the generator to bring
and deposit the C&D waste

LSGIs shall ensure suitable vehicles of different capacities (such as Tempos, Tractors,
Trucks etc) are made available at a fixed rate, and staff is assigned at each level to
ensure C&D waste collection from various generation points are carried out properly.

a. C&D waste collection centres may be of the following types

i. Local Self Government owned

ii. LSGI cluster type
iii. PPP model
iv. Private owned

b. Minimum area required for C&D waste collection centres-

Identified C&D waste collection centres shall be well fenced demarcating a minimum
area of 100 SqM for the facility. It shall be ensured that the debris and dust do not
interfere with the adjacent plots.

The existing dumpsites shall not be used as C&D waste collection centres and if areas
adjacent to the existing dumpsites are to be used for C&D waste collection, it is to be
ensured that the mixing up of waste does not happen at any instance. Dumpsites after
remediation may be used for managing C&D waste in a scientific manner.

10. HANDING OVER OF C&D WASTE BY THE GENERATOR AND THE

CHARGES TO BE PAID

a. Non bulk-generator of small quantity of C&D waste for one time upto 2 tonnes in
total (not per day) can register the requisition with the local authority for the
collection of the segregated C&D waste and they shall be exempted from paying
collection fees.This will encourage them to comply with the law. They may also
deposit the segregated waste at designated collection centres by their own
arrangement.

b. Non bulk-generator of C&D waste exceeding the above quantity and less than 20
tonne per day can register the requisition with the local authority for the collection of
the segregated C&D waste and in such case collection charges as fixed by the local
authority shall be payable by generator or may deliver the C&D waste material duly
segregated to the designated C&D waste collection centres notified by the local
authority at their own cost.

c. Bulk generator of C&D waste of more than 20 tonnes per day or 300 tonnes per
project in a month shall deliver the C&D waste to the processing plant site at their
own cost. Processing charges for C&D waste as may be fixed by the local
authority shall also be paid by the bulk generator (eg: South Delhi Municipal

9
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

Corporation has imposed a processing fee of Rs 205 per MT at time of sanctioning

building plan and Rs 225 per MT for lifting waste. The transportation charges would
be increased by 10% every two years, Ref. CPCB guidelines, 2017)

11. APPLICATION FORMAT & WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN TO BE

SUBMITTED BY THE WASTE GENERATOR

The format of application to be submitted by the C&D waste non-bulk generator shall
be as per the format attached as Annexure IV. Before new construction/repairing
works/demolition activities which generate C&D waste, the non-bulk generators
handing over C&D waste through accredited third-party agencies shall come into
agreement with the respective agencies. A nominal charge as fixed by the LSG may
also be levied for new constructions at the time of approval of the building plan by the
LSGI.

Bulk generators of C&D waste shall submit a waste management plan to Local Self
Government in the format attached as Annexure V. LSGI to accord the approval with
or without modifications for C&D waste management plan submitted by the generator
within a month

12. C & D WASTE COLLECTION/TRANSPORTATION CHARGES

Maximum charge for the collection/transportation of C&D waste by LSGI owned
vehicles shall be fixed by the District Level Facilitation and Monitoring Committee
(DLFMC) in Rupees per tonne for a distance upto 10 kms. This distance include
distance from the construction/demolition site or collection centre to the processing
facility. For distance more than this an additional charge of in Rupees per km shall
also be fixed. This collection/transportation charges shall be reviewed and modified
by the DLFMC from time to time.

Maximum charge for the collection/transportation of C&D waste by the accredited

private agencies shall be fixed by the DLFMC after due consideration of the quantum
of waste generated in the area and the distance to the facility for collection and
processing of C&D waste.

13. DISTRICT LEVEL FACILITATION AND MONITORING COMMITTEE

A District Level Facilitation and Monitoring Committee (DLFMC) with the structure
specified in this guideline shall be constituted in each district to regulate the C&D
waste management charges and monitor the C&D waste management operations.

10
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

The structure of the committee shall be as follows;

▪ District Collector-Chairman
▪ District Co-ordinator, Suchitwa Mission - Convener
▪ District Co-ordinator, Haritha Keralam Mission- Member
▪ Joint Director (LSGD) in charge of the district - Member
▪ Representative of Kerala Pollution Control Board- Member
▪ Representative of Town and Country Planning Department - Member
▪ Representative from District Industries Department- Member

DLFMC shall fix the maximum C&D collection charges and tipping fee that can be
levied by the C&D processing units accepting wastes for processing based on the
following parameters from time to time:
a. Quantity of C&D waste collected/processed
b. Transportation expenses
c. Operational expenses of the Plant
d. Geography of the district (spatial data)

14. C&D WASTE PROCESSING FACILITIES

Local Self Government Institutions shall be responsible for assessing the quantity of C&D
waste generated in their jurisdiction to arrive at the required capacity of C&D waste
processing facility. In the study conducted by LSGD planning, Kozhikode ( February,
2022) the volume of C&Dwaste generated in Kozhikode district is worked out to be 1,240
TPD and assuming that only half of the present volume of C&D waste is likely to reach
the processing plant, a plant of capacity 500 TpD is suggested in the study for the district
to handle the present C&D waste.

DLFMC shall be responsible for proposing the capacity and number of plants required in
the district. Existing quarries, crusher units can be utilized for processing C&D waste as
these units are already having installed machinery and with some alterations, the same can
be made suitable for processing C&D waste. Hollow brick manufacturing units, paver
brick manufacturing units etc may be involved in C&D waste processing activities to
ensure forward linkage. This will lead to easier and timely setting up of C&D processing
facilities in the State.

The secondary transportation to the off-site (centralized) C&D waste processing plant may
be taken up by the ULB or third party or processing facility management agency. In
addition, the bulk generators/service providers can directly transport their C&D waste to
the processing facility as per their waste management plan by paying the required charges
to the local authority.

C&D processing facility in the State shall comply with the following conditions:

a. C&D waste processing facilities can be of the following types

11
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

i. Local Self Government owned

ii. PPP model-

A. Land shall be owned by the Government and a facility to handle a minimum of

100 TPD C&D waste including the logistic facility shall be created by the
private party. The operational cost shall also be met by the private party. The
land has to be wisely selected by the LSG such that it has proper road
connectivity for the movement of trucks and road development itself won’t
become a burden for the project. The processing or recycling plant shall be
large enough to last for 20-25 years. The collection centres of C&D waste
shall be pre-approved by the LSG. The primary sources of benefits are
disposal fees (Tipping fee) and sale of recycled products. The price of recycled
materials has to be lower than that of primary virgin materials. This gives a
strong motivation to buy the recycled materials. LSG may give a buy-back
assurance to the plant owner that it will use a certain percentage of the
recycled materials in its various projects. Notification for user charges for
C&D processing shall be fixed by the LSG.

B. Minimum waste assurance: ULB shall ensure that the bidder will be the sole
agency responsible for collection of C&D Waste in the project area. The ULB
shall assure the bidder a minimum quantity of C&D Waste on a
monthly/quarterly basis to ensure financial viability of the project. If minimum
guaranteed amount is not met, the ULB shall provide monetary compensation
to the bidder at a rate quoted in the tender by the bidder.

C. Mobile type Mini-C&D waste crushing & processing enterprise providing

rental services- The case considers a scenario in which an agency (public or
private) invests in a mini-mobile crusher suitable to be transported easily to
different demolition sites where C&D waste is crushed according to the needs
of the client. The business model considers that the mini-crusher is rented out
to the clients in ULBs where the C&D waste is crushed in-situ and used in-
house by the client. In this case the income for investor is through renting out
the machine.

D. Mobile type Mini-C&D waste crushing & processing and sales enterprise- In
this case the agency (public or private) invests in a mini-mobile crusher
suitable to be transported easily to different demolition sites where C&D waste
is crushed transported back and stock piled by the entrepreneur in his
stockyard. The processed material is later marketed by the entrepreneur. This
is a mini-mobile version of the standalone crushing units.

iii. Private owned- Both land and the facility owned by the private party

12
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

b. Minimum area of at least 1 hectare is preferred for construction & demolition waste
processing plant (because of its similarity to crusher units). However, considering the
non availability of adequate land, a thumb rule of one acre per 100 tons/day may be
taken as the minimum requirement. ie, for 200 tons/day plant, area of two acre is
required and 75 tons/day plant area of 75 cents is required. However, in no case, the
minimum area shall be less than 75 cents, however small the capacity is.

c. The non-availability of C&D waste due to improper

collection/transportation/enforcement of law can adversely affect the economical
functioning of the C&D waste processing plants. C&D plants may not be needed in
all the districts since in some districts the waste generation may be low. Hence, one
common C&D waste processing plant may be sufficient for multiple districts.
d. There shall be no residence/public building/place of worship within 100m of the
processing facility. Minimum setback of 10m shall be available on all sides.

e. The processing facility shall consists of the following components

i. Compound Wall / Fencing Arrangements

ii. Weigh bridge at entry/exit gate

iii. C&D waste unloading platform

iv. Sorting/Segregation Area

v. Conveyor belt to the crusher plant

vi. Crusher plant

vii. Wet Processing Plant

viii. Screening Mechanism to screen various size of aggregates

ix. Processed Material Storage Area

x. Material Testing / Administrative block buildings

xi. Processing or recycling site shall be fenced or hedged and provided with
proper gate to monitor incoming vehicles or other modes of transportation.

xii. The crushing plant shall be fully enclosed in a brick/concrete walled building

13
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

with opening for material handling only.

xiii. Adequate water storage facilities and water sprinkling and dust suppression
systems have to be provided in the plant.

xiv. The waste received, the waste processed, the products and the rejects shall be
correctly quantified using weigh bridge.

xv. The owner of the facility shall prepare annual reports as per the prevailing
rules and submit to the local bodies & the PCB

xvi. There shall be earmarked areas for parking vehicles and carrying out vehicle
cleaning operations

xvii. The approach and or internal roads shall be concreted or paved so as to avoid
generation of dust particles due to vehicular movement and shall be so
designed to ensure free movement of vehicles and other machinery
xviii. Utilities such as drinking water and sanitary facilities (preferably
washing/bathing facilities for workers) and lighting arrangements for easy
landfill operations during night hours shall be provided and Safety provisions
including health inspections of workers at landfill sites shall be carried out
made.
xix. Provision of storm water drains to prevent stagnation of surface water
xx. fire protection equipment and other facilities as may be required shall be
provided.
xxi. provision for the prevention of NOISE pollution from processing and
recycling plant:
xxii. provision for treatment of effluent if any, to meet the discharge norms as per
Environment
xxiii. Work Zone air quality at the Processing or Recycling site and ambient air
quality at the vicinity shall be monitored.
xxiv. the measurement of ambient noise shall be done at the interface of the facility
with the surrounding area, i.e., at plant boundary.
xxv. A vegetative boundary shall be made around Processing or Recycling plant or

14
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

site to strengthen the buffer zone.

xxvi. Pollution control measures as specified in the CPCB Guidelines on

Environmental Management of C&D wastes.
xxvii. SOP- Siting requirements and pollution control measures in construction &
demolition waste processing plants by Kerala Pollution Control Board No.
PCB/HO/SEE-3/TECH/139/2022 dated 04/04/2022 shall be adhered to
(Annexure VI)

15. MANDATORY USE OF C&D WASTE PRODUCTS

As and when a C&D waste recycling plant is commissioned in a district and
recycled products are available within 100 km from construction site, it shall be
mandatory for below listed construction activities to use specified percentage of
available building construction materials manufactured from recycled C&D waste.

a. All Government constructions including shall mandatorily use at least 20 percent of

recycled C & D waste products.

b. All renovation projects involving demolition, even in the private sector, shall
mandatorily use at least 20 percent of recycled C & D waste products.

Example: Delhi government advisory C & D waste utilization-The Delhi government

has issued an advisory on the use of products made out of recycled C & D waste by
the Public Works Department (PWD). All Delhi government agencies will be required
to incorporate a clause in their tenders that mandates use of a minimum of 2 per cent
recycled products from construction waste in all future contracts for building works
and 10 per cent recycled products for road works, Ref- CPCB Guidelines, 2017.

16. C&D ITEM REUSE AND C&D WASTE RECYCLED PRODUCTS

Various options to ensure the best possible use of C&D items and C&D waste
recycled products are depicted below:

a. REUSE OF C&D ITEMS

i. According to waste management hierarchy, the priority should be to extract the

maximum practical benefits from products and to prevent and minimize the waste that

15
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

is generated. Prevention is the most desirable waste management option as it

eliminates the need for handling, transporting, recycling or disposal of waste. Reuse
of C&D waste is important as it helps to reduce the dependence on natural resources
and eliminates adverse environmental impacts like mining which is an energy
intensive activity. Reuse of C&D wastes has the additional advantage of controlling
the quantum of C&D waste destined for disposal and recycling besides reducing
transportation costs.

ii. The list of reuse and salvage materials include appliances, bathroom fixtures, bricks,
blocks, masonry stone, structural steel, cabinets, carpeting, ceiling tiles, timber and
timber based boards, door and window frames and shutters, flooring tiles, stone
tiles/platforms, insulation, landscaping materials, lighting fixtures, metal framing
including for partitions and ceiling, panelling, pipes, antique mouldings, accessories
and hardware of furniture, PVC water tanks, roofing sheets used for garages, outdoor
areas, fabric of tensile structures etc.

iii. When the opportunities for reuse or salvage are exhausted, recycling is the next level.

iv. C&D waste materials that can be recycled include acoustical ceiling tiles, asphalt,
asphalt shingle, carpets, concrete, drywall, fluorescent lights, land clearing debris
(vegetation, dirt), metals and metal alloys, structural steel, plastic film (sheeting,
packaging), glass, wood etc.

b. THE DIRECT PRODUCE OF RECYCLING OF C&D WASTE

i. Fine aggregate-The produce of C&D waste processing i.e. fine and coarse aggregates
are good materials for road construction. Road stretches have been already
constructed in India using these materials.

ii. Recycled Concrete Aggregates-It is derived from concrete after requisite processing
of different sizes (5-10 mm, 10-20 mm, 20-40 mm or as required)

iii. Recycled Aggregates- It is made from C&D waste, which may comprise concrete,
brick, tiles,stone, etc. of different sizes (5-10 mm, 10-20 mm, 20-40 mm or as
required)

16
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

iv. Manufactured soil- The manufactured soil is quite suitable for landfill, landscaping
as a substitute of excavated soil. Fine and coarse aggregates are ready raw materials
for Ready Mix Concrete plants and construction sites. The manufactured soil is also a
good substitute for soil for construction of road and fly over embankments. It saves
precious topsoil.

c. THE VARIOUS DOWNSTREAM PRODUCTS WHICH CAN BE

MANUFACTURED USING RECYCLED C&D WASTE

i. Tetrapods and other similar structures which can be used for coastal protection (As Kerala is
having long coastline, the demand for bulk materials to be used in coastal protection is
high and C&D waste recycled products can substitute enormous quantity of natural
materials in this aspect)

ii. Bricks, blocks, tiles, hollow bricks, wall tiles;

iii. Pavers, kerb stones;

iv. Park benches, drain covers, planters, compound wall, fence post, tree guards, tree pit covers,
manhole covers, underground cable covers, precast boundary wall panels and poles,
etc.

17. INCENTIVIZE UTILISATION OF RECYCLED C&D WASTE PRODUCTS

The tipping fee for delivery of C & D waste to the recycling plant, terms & conditions
of the civic body with the concessionaire shall be designed to keep the price of C & D
waste recycled products atleast 20 per cent lower than the corresponding conventional
products. The price of C&D waste recycled products shall be published in the State
Schedule of rates.

18. QUALITY CONTROL FOR C&D WASTE RECYCLED PRODUCTS

concrete works by IS: 383(2016) are as below:

17
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

b. National Building Code (NBC- CED 46) of India 2005 : Part 11 of NBC 2005 on
‘Approach to Sustainability’(Chapter 11), states that :

i. Recycled Coarse Aggregate may be used in concrete for bulk fills, bank protection,
base/fill of drainage structures, pavements, sidewalks, kerbs and gutters etc.

ii. Up to 30 percent of natural crushed coarse aggregate can be replaced by the recycled
concrete aggregate

iii. This percentage can be increased up to 50 percent for pavements and other areas
which are under pure compression specific to the standards and practices pertaining to
construction of roads.’

c. Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council (BMTPC) in 2016 released

“Guidelines for utilization of C & D waste in construction of dwelling units and
related infrastructure in housing schemes of the Government”.

d. The PART IV of Central Pubic Works Division (CPWD): The “Guidelines for
Sustainable Habitat (March 2014)” discusses ‘Guidelines on reuse and recycling of
Construction and Demolition (C & D) waste’.

e. Indian Road Congress has permitted the use of produce of C&D waste processing and
has issued IRC: 121-2017 “Guidelines for use of construction and demolition waste in
road sector”.

Note- The Concerned Departments in the State need to ensure the above criteria
through separate orders.

19. MONITORING MECHANISMS

Strict enforcement of rules combined with regular monitoring procedures and

supporting policies can serve as effective systems for the management of C&D waste.
A series of monitoring and inspection mechanisms should be in place for disposal
practices of C&D waste in order to prevent unauthorised dumping. Tracking systems
involving multiple stakeholders to be in place to ensure proper disposal and handling

18
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

of C&D waste. For effective monitoring, the ULBs can make use of extensive IT
systems such as GPS tracking of vehicles and centralized data entry for movement of
waste streams from one place to another besides appropriate tests and inspections.

Annexure VI

SOP- Siting requirements and pollution control measures in

construction & demolition waste processing plants

1. "Construction and demolition waste" means the waste comprising of building materials,
debris and rubble resulting from construction, re-modeling, repair and demolition of any civil
structure. Waste generated during construction & maintenance of roads also comes under this
category.

2. “Demolition” means breaking down or tearing down buildings and other structures either
manually or using mechanical force (by various equipment) or by implosion using
explosives.

3. The major components of construction & demolition waste are concrete, brick masonry,
steel, wood, stone (marble/granite etc), soil/sand/gravel.

4. Processing of construction waste is aimed at segregation/conversion of the construction &

demolition waste for reuse, recycling and/or transformation into new products.

5. The quantum of construction waste generated as per CPCB Guidelines are as follows:

a. Range 40-60 kg per sq.m of new construction,

b. Range 40-50 kg per sq.m of building repair,

c. Range 300-500 kg per sq.m for demolition of buildings.

6. Construction & demolition waste is approximately 10% of the municipal solid waste.

7. Demolition of buildings can be done either by manual methods (using excavators,

bulldozers, sledge hammers, jack hammer, drillers etc) or by engineering methods (wrecking

36
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

ball, pusher arm, concrete saw, implosion etc).

8. The contractor doing the demolition does the segregation in the site itself. Materials that
can be recycled are collected by the scrap dealers. The concrete waste shall be dispatched to
the collection centres or transported directly to the processing centres.

Pollution control measure to be provided in construction sites

The following facilities shall be provided in the construction/demolition sites:

1. Construction & demolition waste need to be segregated into concrete, soil, steel, wood,
plastic, brick & mortar, paper (eg:paper sack cement bags), glass, ceramic, electrical items
and metallic items.

2. Separate storage area need to be earmarked in the construction site for segregation &
storage of each type of construction/demolition waste.

3. Construction waste shall not mix with domestic waste.

4. Enclosure of the construction site using garden nets/GI sheets shall be done to prevent
spreading of dust to the nearby areas.

5. Water storage facilities with adequate number of waste sprinklers shall be provided for
containing the dust generated.

6. Only DG sets having acoustic enclosure shall be used in the site.

7. Facilities for treatment of sewage generated from the workers quarters shall be provided.
Domestic solid waste generated from the workers quarters shall be segregated and bio-
degradable solid waste shall be treated using bio-gas plant, compost etc.

A detailed construction waste management plan shall be submitted by the proponents of

medium & large scale industries (incorporating the mode of segregation, storage, reuse,
transportation & disposal of construction waste) along with the application for ICE of the
Board.

Collection Centres

1. Facilities required at collection centres include weighing facility, unloading area & storage
area. The weight of the incoming & outgoing waste shall compulsorily be recorded at the
centre.

37
 Guidelines for Managing C&D waste in the State
I/5371320/2022

2. The collection centres shall have the control measures mentioned below:

a. Enclosures with GI sheets shall be provided for the loading & unloading and storage areas.

b. Adequate water storage facility shall be provided.

c. Adequate number of water sprinklers shall be provided in the collection centres to mitigate
the dust generated.

3. The collection centre shall have adequate land area to ensure that the facilities mentioned
above can be provided comfortably.

4. The local bodies shall provide the details of collection centres in its jurisdiction to the
Board.

Processing Centres

1. Construction & demolition (C & D) waste processing activity falls under orange category (
as per CPCB guidelines). C & D waste processing facility shall inspect each waste load
before unloading debris and shall accept only C & D Debris - no industrial waste shall be
accepted at the C & D facility ( as per CPCB guidelines). The primary step in the processing
plant is the segregation of waste. The waste need to be segregated into concrete, soil, steel,
wood, plastic, brick & mortar, paper (eg:paper sack cement bags), electrical items and
metallic items. Only stationary processing facilities are permitted (mobile or semi-mobile are
not permitted because of possibility of public resistance).

2. Such facilities are equipped for carrying out crushing, screening as well as purification to
separate the contaminants. In the usual construction waste processing plant, concrete waste is
fed into the hopper and then crushed in crusher (jaw or horizontal impact crusher) resulting in
particles size

reduction from 400mm to less than 80mm. The under 80mm size particles are discharged into
grizzley feeder (vibrating feeder) through conveyor and then into log washer (intensive
washing in an inclined washer {sloped} using shaft and paddles) for removal of plastic/wood/
silt/clay and then sorted in vibrating screens to generate particles in the size range 80mm –
20mm, 20mm – 8.5mm and < 8.5mm. The under 8.5mm particles are then sent to the cyclone
separator to separate into two fractions of size 0.75mm – 3.75mm & 3.75 – 8.5mm.
Processing methodology may vary from that mentioned above. However, the aim in all
processing technology is to crush the concrete waste into uniform aggregates of specified
size.

3. The resultant crushed aggregates can be used as follows:

80mm – 20mm : Road works

20mm – 8.5mm : Concreting other than for load bearing structures.

8.5mm – 3.75mm : As plaster sand

3.75mm – 0.75mm : Machine sand ( M sand).

Schedule II of the Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016 may be
followed if the products are used in the operation of sanitary land fill.

4. The processing or recycling site shall be away from habitation clusters, forest areas, water
bodies, monuments, National Parks, Wetlands and places of important cultural, historical or
religious interest.

5. There shall be no residence/public building/place of worship within 100m of the

processing facility. Minimum setback of 10m shall be available on all sides.

6. Minimum area of at least 1 hectare is preferred for construction & demolition waste
processing plant (because of its similarity to crusher units). However, considering the non
availability of adequate land, a thumb rule of one acre per 100 tons/day may be taken as the
minimum requirement. ie, for 200 tons/day plant, area of two acre is required and 75 tons/day
plant area of 75 cents is required. However, in no case, the minimum area shall be less than
75 cents, however small the capacity is.

7. Usually, the capacity of the plant is specified in ton/hour. However, the land area may be
fixed based on the construction waste processed per day.

8. The control measures shall be as follows:

a. The entire plant (including the conveyors)shall be installed in building with side walls of
brick/concrete of minimum thickness 23cm and with door opening for material handling
only.

b. Minimum water storage facility of 10,000 litres per day shall be provided.

c. Adequate number of sprinklers & dust suppression system shall be provided.

d. Internal roads shall be concreted or paved.

e. Facilities for treatment of wash water including settling tank and sludge drying facilities
for the sludge settled in the settling tank shall be provided.

f. Processing or recycling site shall be fenced or hedged and provided with proper gate to
monitor incoming vehicles or other modes of transportation.

g. Storm water drains shall be provided. Adequate facilities to ensure that the storm water
does not carry waste or waste water generated in the unit shall be provided.

h. Green belt with suitable species of trees/curtain plants shall be provided within and along
the boundary of the premises.

9. Fire fighting/protection equipments may be provided in the site.

10. A buffer zone of no development shall be maintained around solid waste processing and
disposal facility, exceeding 20 tonnes per day or 300 tonnes per project in a month of
installed capacity (CPCB guidelines on environmental management of construction &
demolition waste- March, 2017). This will be maintained within the total area of the solid
waste processing and disposal facility. A vegetative boundary shall be made around
Processing or Recycling plant or site to strengthen the buffer zone (see item 8.h).

11. The service providers shall submit along with the application for consent a
comprehensive waste management plan covering segregation, storage, collection, reuse,
recycling, transportation and disposal of construction and demolition waste generated within
their jurisdiction. The consent

incorporates the authorization (Form II) as per the Construction and Demolition Waste
Management Rules, 2016. The application for the consent of the Board shall be accompanied
by the following details:

a. Average quantity (in tons per day) and composition of construction and demolition waste
to be handled at the specific site.

b. Details of construction and demolition waste processing or recycling technology to be

used.

c. Quantity of construction and demolition waste to be processed per day. Site clearance from
Prescribed Authority.

d. Salient points of agreement between competent authority or local authority and operating
agency (attach relevant document).

e. Expected amount of process rejects and plan for its disposal (e.g., sanitary landfill for solid

waste).

f. Measures to be taken for prevention and control of environmental pollution. Investment on

project and expected returns.

g. Measures to be taken for safety of workers working in the processing or recycling plant.

h. Any preventive plan for accident during the collection, transportation and treatment
including processing and recycling should be informed to the Competent Authority(Local
Authority) or Prescribed Authority

12. The waste received, the waste processed, the products and the rejects shall be correctly
quantified. Weigh bridge facilities shall be provided in the processing site. The unit shall
submit annual report to the Board in the prescribed format.

Waste Transportation

1. The vehicle transporting construction waste shall be fully covered to prevent spreading of
dust.

2. The vehicles shall be GPS tagged.

3. Regular checking and maintenance of vehicles should be ensured.

4. For long distance, transportation routes of C & D wastes to be selected after discussion
with local authorities (CPCB guidelines on environmental management of construction &
demolition waste- March, 2017).
