1. Objective.
The construction and operation of the proposed project will generate various types of waste which will need
appropriate collection, transportation, primary treatment, and disposal. Hence, to serve the purpose, a Waste
Management Plan has been formulated to demonstrate:
Inventorisation of waste in different types of categories like garbage, rubbish, hazardous, waste etc.
Maintain the site in a clean and tidy state to reduce the attraction of pest species, impacts on the local
environment and negative impacts on visual amenity.
Suggestion of options for waste handling and disposal during construction and operation phase of the project.
Establish compliance to various national waste management related regulations.
Establish an appropriate training programme for contractors, workers, and other stakeholders.
Define the roles and responsibilities for implementing the measures
2. Scope
This waste Management plan is applicable to all NGSL Employees, Sub-contractors and their
workmen, their activities at NGSL sites -unit 6 (220 MW) & Unit 7 (105 MW). for the construction
and operation and maintenance phase of the proposed project.
3. WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN Introduction
All project generated waste will need to be managed and disposed of in a manner to prevent potential
impacts on the environment and risks to human health. A Waste Management Plan for the proposed
Project has been developed.

6.Waste Handling, Management & Disposal
Construction Phase
All waste produced from the Project activities on site will be temporarily stored in designated waste
storage areas. All waste that cannot be reused or recycled will be collected by approved waste
contractors and transferred to an appropriately licensed waste management facility for treatment and
disposal. Following steps will be taken to manage the waste generation during construction phase:
Fuel will be stored on site in temporary aboveground storage tanks and will be stored in a locked container within a
fenced and secure temporary staging area.
Trucks and construction vehicles will be serviced off site.
All concrete mixing be undertaken on impermeable plastic lining to prevent contamination of thesoils and
surrounding areas.
Food waste and other refuse are to be adequately deposited in sealable containers and removedfrom the kitchen
frequently to avoid accumulation.
The use, storage, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials used for the project will becarried out in
accordance with all applicable regulations.
All hazardous waste to be disposed of to MPPCB approved vendors.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all applicable materials present on site will be readily available to on-site
personnel.
The construction debris will be placed in appropriate on-site storage containers and periodically disposed of by a
licensed waste contractor.
8
NGSL will remove refuse collected from the designated waste storage areasat the site at least once a week; and
Empty fuel containers will also be stored at a secured area designated for scrap and sold to authorized vendors.
All packaging material will also be collected at the storage area and sold toscrap dealers.
Operation Phase
Damaged cells would need to be characterized and managed as hazardous waste.
Following measures to be taken for management of waste:
NTPC-REL need to have buy back agreements for defunct solar panels.
A designated area needs to be demarcated within the premises for storage of defunct and broken solar panels with
restricted access and on impervious surface.
MNRE had prepared a concept note for storage and disposal of used solar panels. The recommendations such as
recycling of glass, storage of discarded panels in cover shed etc. shall be adopted in the Project; (78);
All fuel storage should be equipped with secondary containment and spillage trays.
All used oil is required to send off to MPPCB approved vendors and recyclers; and
Transportation of defunct solar panels is required to be undertaken as per the proceduresspecified by the
Manufacture of Solar Panels.
Handling of Broken Solar Modules generated due to cleaning and other maintenance activities
Impact Mitigation Measure
Broken or damaged solar panels are required to be shifted to a designated area
Land Contamination (Soil
in scrap yard to avoid any type of land contamination.
Quality)
The designated area should be isolated and to be established on an
impervious surface.
A photograph is to be taken of the broken panel at the site to cater to
Insurance settlement claims
Proper PPEs are provided to the workers handling the broken solar panels.
Risk on Health of Workers
The workers at site are also on regular basis apprised about the potential
health risks associated with handling of solar panels.
