BOX 4.5 SUPPLEMENTAL EIA SECTOR MANUAL FOR
HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PROJECTS (HWMPS)
1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of Present Manual
The purpose of the present manual of
guidelines is to advise participants in the EIA process on the specific
requirements for EIA for projects in the Hazardous Waste Management
Sector. Figures 1.1-1 is a drawing showing the group of manuals utilized by
DEIE, including (a) the Primary EIA Process Manual (and supplements to
this), which applies to all types of projects, and (b) EIA Sector Manuals for
particular categories or types of projects. The present document is the sector
manual for Hazardous Waste Management Projects (HWMPs).
The EIA for HWMP projects is to comply with the requirements specified
in the Primary Process Manual and in the present HWMPs sector manual. An
EIA for a HWMP project must comply with the requirements of both manuals.
1.2 Types of HWMPs
This manual classifies HWMPs in two categories,
(i) LWs (Liquid wastes) and SWs (Solid wastes). HWMP/SWs are assumed
to utilize landfills. Hospital wastes are covered in the Sector Manual for
Large Buildings.
1.3 Toxic Wastes
For purpose of the present manual, the term HWs
includes toxic wastes which are in liquid or solid form.
1.4 Steps in Applying EIA Process
The initial step for the EIA team is
to carry put an IEE which will prepare the detailed TOR the follow-up EIA,
including identification of Significant Environmental Issues (SEIs) and their
prioritization, as specified in Chapter 2 of the Primary Manual. Following
approval of the IEE, when a follow-up full-scale EIA is needed, the EIA
team is to proceed to prepare the full-scale EIA report.
1.5 Reference Utilized
Annex I list of references utilized in preparing
the present manual. The primary reference utilized for LWs is Reference 1,
“Preliminary Data Summary for the Hazardous Waste Treatment Industry,”
U.S. EPA, Sept. 1989, and Reference 2, “Requirements for Hazardous Waste
