Environmental protection requirements for the site selection of municipal solid waste landfills

The newly revised \"Standards for Pollution Control in Domestic Waste Landfills\" set clear requirements regarding the location selection of such landfills: First, the site chosen for a domestic waste landfill must be in line with regional environmental plans, plans for the construction of environmental sanitation facilities, and local urban planning； 　　Second, landfill sites for domestic waste should not be located in areas designated for urban and industrial development plans, agricultural protection zones, nature reserves, scenic spots, cultural heritage (archaeological) protection areas, sources of drinking water, areas planned for future water supply, mineral resource reserves, **strategically important locations**, **confidential areas**, and other areas that require special protection ； 　　Third, the elevation of the site chosen for household waste landfills should be above the flood level corresponding to a recurrence interval of not less than 50 years, and it should be located outside the inundation and protection zones of artificial water storage facilities such as reservoirs planned for long-term use ； 　　Fourth, the site selection for domestic waste landfills should avoid the following areas: regions prone to destructive earthquakes and active tectonic zones ； Areas of collapse, landslides, and uplift during the event ； Fault zones during the event ； Limestone karst cave development zone ； Active collapse areas in abandoned mining sites ； Active dune area ； Tsunami and surge affected areas ； wetland ； Unstable alluvial fan and gully areas ； Peatlands and other areas that may pose a risk to landfill safety ； 　　Fifth, the location of the municipal solid waste landfill and its distance from the surrounding population should be determined based on the findings of the environmental impact assessment, and must be approved by the local environmental protection authorities. 　　 When conducting an environmental impact assessment for waste landfill sites, factors such as the leachate generated by the landfill, air pollutants (including malodorous substances), and animals that thrive there (mosquitoes, flies, birds, etc.) should be taken into consideration, in accordance with the environmental function zone classification of the area where the site is located ； By comprehensively evaluating its impacts on the surrounding environment, the health of residents, as well as daily life and industrial activities, it is necessary to determine the appropriate spatial relationship between waste landfills and sensitive areas such as residential zones, surface water bodies, highways, main traffic routes (national or provincial roads), railways, airports, and military bases, as well as the appropriate protective distances ； The conclusions of the environmental impact assessment can serve as a basis for planning control.

Building landfills for domestic waste is not very common in chemical enterprises; generally, industrial waste landfills are more frequently constructed. If construction is to take place, the issue of land use must be considered first; land is very expensive these days. Generally, companies choose to work together with local sanitation departments and pay them to handle the task. The answer may not be relevant to the topic, but it is a method of handling industrial waste; of course, this is on the condition that industrial waste and domestic waste are separated.

Environmental protection requirements for the site selection of municipal solid waste landfills: 1. The site selection for municipal solid waste landfills should comply with the overall plans for local urban and rural development, and it should be in line with local efforts to prevent air pollution, protect water resources, and preserve natural habitats. 2. Domestic waste landfills should be located downwind of the prevailing summer wind direction in the area, and at a distance of more than 500 meters from livestock habitats. 3: Landfill sites for domestic waste must not be established in the following areas: a. Nature reserves, scenic spots, sources of drinking water, and other areas that require special protection as designated by the State Council, the relevant competent departments of the State Council, as well as the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government ； b. Dense residential areas ； c. Areas in direct connection with waterways ； d. Groundwater recharge areas, floodplains, silted areas ； e. Areas of collapse from activities, fault zones, underground mineral deposits, lime pits, and lava cave areas. This post was last edited by johncom on 2009-4-17 13:19]

The address location is required to have stable conditions, a low groundwater level, and to be located downwind of the city’s minimum wind direction. Considerations must be given to flood and waterlogging prevention, and it must not be situated on flood drainage channels! ! !

Why include the prefix of a chemical company? ? It’s not an industrial waste landfill; there are specific regulations regarding the location of domestic waste landfills. Please refer to the construction standards for projects related to the sanitary landfilling of municipal domestic waste

If it is industrial waste, the standard applicable is GB18599; if it is household waste, the standard is GB16889. Note that these are the new standards, and they are quite strict

You may refer to the standard \"Pollution Control Standards for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills\": http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=450210&extra=page%3D1&frombbs=1

Standards and specifications regarding landfilling of household waste: 1. \"Construction Standards for Projects of Sanitary Landfilling of Urban Household Waste\", author: Ministry of Construction; publisher: China Planning Press; publication date: June 1, 2001. 2. \"Standards for Controlling Pollution from Household Waste Landfilling\" GB 16889-1997. 3. \"Technical Specifications for Sanitary Landfilling of Household Waste\" CJJ 17-2004

For domestic waste from chemical enterprises, why is it necessary to mention the word \"chemical\"? If it is simply domestic waste, then it should be handled in accordance with the requirements for **standard domestic waste landfills. If it is solid waste from a company, then it should be handled in accordance with the relevant regulations for solid waste
