Bulk waste not treated on-site, club fined 10 lakh for violating norms in Noida
2
Noida: The Authority on Friday imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh on Unitech Golf & Country Club, in Sector 96, for violating rules of bulk waste generators. The officials in an earlier inspection, found improper segregation, storage, and handling of solid waste management.
Under the Solid Waste Management (SWM) rules, 2016, bulk generators are required to treat their wet waste on-site. The city generates nearly 800 tons of solid waste per day, of which nearly 30% comes from BWGs.
SP Singh, general manager (health), said, "We found that legacy waste and daily garbage were being dumped indiscriminately within their premises. The garbage was found dumped on public roads by the employees.
Due to the dumping of legacy waste, there is a high risk of groundwater contamination."

The club's management has been granted one day to clean the waste dumped on public roads.
The Authority also conducted a workshop for bulk waste generators last month and sensitised them on the issue. During the workshop, instructions were given on how to segregate waste into different categories like wet waste, dry waste, hazardous waste, medical waste, etc.
The Noida Authority has also stopped collecting mixed waste from BWGs from July 1.
A clear warning was also issued that if bulk waste generators fail to comply with the rules, strict legal action will be taken against them.
