Description
-
This document, published by the Central Pollution Control Board in April 2017, outlines the necessary provisions for establishing buffer zones around solid waste processing and disposal facilities in India. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a no-development zone to minimize environmental and public health risks associated with waste management operations. The guidelines define key terms such as buffer zone, separation distance, and green belt, and recommend specific distances and land use practices to ensure effective waste management while addressing community concerns. Additionally, the document highlights the regulatory framework guiding these practices and the need for local authorities to collaborate with pollution control boards to implement these guidelines effectively, ultimately aiming to enhance the aesthetic appeal and operational safety of waste management facilities.
