Title
Solid Waste Landfill Site
Location
Jam Chakro, Karachi and Gondpass, Karachi
Rationale
Regardless of whether the waste-to-energy plant is constructed, there
will be a need for a properly engineered solid waste landfill site for
Karachi. Currently, the only disposal facilities are two open dumps which
lack any environmental controls.
Scope and
Status
Construction of a sanitary landfill facility to include necessary measures
for disposal of industrial and commercial wastes, and environmental
controls for leachate, gas etc.
Benefits
Proper disposal of solid waste (and of the ash and clinker from a wasteto-energy plant if one is constructed) is vital to protection of the terrestrial
environment and ground and surface water resources.
Risks
The need for careful siting, design and operation of the facility
according to established good practice. Creation of a regulatory and
enforcement environment which ensures that waste is disposed of at the
site.
Environmental
Use of raw land, handling of large volumes of solid waste and the
potential for major environmental damage and health risk to the public if
the facility is poorly designed constructed managed or operated. The
project would require a full EIA and extensive public consultation. The
overall impact of the project will be beneficial for the environment.
Social
There would be significant social issues related to plant location and
operation. Extensive consultation with neighbouring communities
required
Fund Modality
DBO (Design Build and Operate) modality preferred, or other PPP
arrangement as appropriate

Introduction
The port city of Karachi has evolved into the largest industrial, commercial and service centre of the country.
The turn of the century has brought the urban population to an estimated more than 18 million level and the
city has found itself on the world record amongst the 13 mega cities in Asia and 21 in the whole world.
Roughly, half of Karachi's population growth is attributed to migration, while the remaining half due to
natural increase by birth. Peoples from rural Sindh and other provinces migrate to work and live in this land
of opportunities.
Overview
A like human population, the vehicular population & availability have been steadily increasing in Karachi and
other large cities of Pakistan. Although, road space must be increased but the inability to commensurate
increase in road capacity has resulted in intensification of congestion and reduced road efficiency. Increased
motorization with influx of the people from rural areas to urban centers has brought into focus a growing
road
safety problem.Impact:
The substantial growth in vehicle fleets is clearly evident in the form of increasing traffic
Environmental
congestion and reduced traffic speeds. On one hand, vehicular emissions are polluting the atmosphere,
motorized transport is generating intolerable noise levels and traffic accidents are claiming more lives while
on the other hand the road infrastructure, built to accommodate urban traffic, is encroached upon by
commercial and Retail activities, resulting in vehicular and pedestrian conflicts, which are serious problems
on all major and minor roads of the city.
