DEFINITIONS

Waste is a product for which we still do not know any use and every waste would one day prove to be a valuable purpose and economic value. We should struggle to search for this economic value. Waste Management is the act of keeping the working environment cleared of all unnecessary waste and materials.

Hazardous Waste Classification: There are 3 classes of waste as follows: Class I : Hazardous Waste

Page 18 of 48

AURAIYA-BABRALA PIPELINE Client : GAIL (India) Limited Consultant : Engineers India Limited Contractor : NRP Projects Pvt. Ltd.  All hazardous wastes are defined as Class I: they are classified as those, which constitute a high degree of hazard for public health and the environment. Hazardous waste includes, those materials, which are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic or radioactive.  A substance is defined as hazardous depending on its physical and chemical properties, and its quantity. All recovered spilled industrial material is to be treated as hazardous waste and cannot be disposed of directly to landfill unless it meets the Local Regulatory Authority requirements. Non Hazardous Wastes Class II: Biodegradable or Chemical Decomposable Waste  A non-hazardous solid waste as any waste that is not hazardous; they can be classified as: Class II: Biodegradable or Chemical Decomposable Waste  Decomposable waste (Class II) - Non-hazardous solids and sludge which are biologically or chemically reactive in the natural environment such as paper, wood, household garbage, some metals, animal wastes and digested sewage sludge. Class III: Inert Waste  Inert waste (Class III) - Wastes which are not biologically or chemically active in the natural environment. Examples include glass, concrete and brick materials, broken clay and chinaware, most plastics and manufactured rubber products. 9.5 RESPONSIBILITIES Project Manager: Ensure that Waste Management Procedure is being implemented through NRP. HSE Manager/Engineer: Responsible for the implementation of this procedure and monitoring compliance. Site Supervision:  Will assign duties under this procedure for the establishment and maintenance of good waste management standards.  Will carry out regular inspection of the areas under their control to ensure compliance.  Will report back to the HSE Manager/Engineer on any concerns noted with the application of this procedure. Subcontractors: All subcontractors shall be required to comply with this procedure. 9.6 PROCEDURE 9.6.1. Solid Waste Management 9.6.1.1.
