The conceptual design of the common effluent treatment plant was provided by T.E.H of Uzbekistan. But the detail design of the plant was done by the consultants in august 1999.

M/s Guarantee engineers (pvt.) Ltd did the constructional work of the solid waste disposal site, approach road, and the bridge ao the road.

The Habib Rafiq (pvt.) Ltd did the constructional detail of the common effluent treatment plant.

The technical assistance has been provided by the UNDP/UNIDO. They also helped in the purchase of the imported equipment.

It is expected that the end of the project situation in Kasur, with respect to environmental protection measures will be as follows:

·        The outfall sewer, 'Final outfall channel or the Green Channel', to Pandouki Outfall constructed and in operation;

·        The stagnant pools dried out and ready for reclamation;

·        The in-house (within the individual tanneries) pre-treatment arrangements (installation of coarse screens and simple grease chambers, and process water flow meters) finalized and in operation;

·        The industrial and sanitary waste water pollution system in tannery clusters rehabilitated/constructed and in operation;

·        The Common Tannery Effluent Primary Treatment Plant with control lab-oratory installed and in continuous operation;

·        The CEPTP's sludge processing, transport and disposal facilities are operational (including disposal of tannery solid wastes);

·        The Authority (KDA) and Agency (KTWMA) responsible for the engagement of the treatment plant including solid waste and sludge handling, personnel and economy, well established for smooth operation of the project activities. Lessons from experience in the formulation, management and coordination of project will be applied, in other environmental pollution control activities in other parts of the country;

·        Sufficient number of local staff, employed by KTVIMA, well trained to independently operate and maintain the CEPTP with all auxiliary facilities including sludge handling and disposal system; leading experts and consultants trained to use the knowledge gained in dealing with similar problems elsewhere in the country;

·        The chrome-recovery plant, ideally potentially usable as by-products pilot plant, installed and in operation;

·        Local tanners are well acquainted with cleaner, environmentally friendly leather processing methods. Some of the methods, adapted to the local conditions, actually accepted for the production of various types of leather in day-to-day work;

·        Considerable improved general awareness concerning occupational health hazards, industrial safety and hygiene and specific measures adopted and adhered to;

·        Kasur Municipality Committee will be strengthened institutionally so that it can effectively assume its assigned functions;

·        Specific details required for urban development of Kasur, for implementation of the remainder of the Kasur Environmental Integrated Programme as well as other social impact related (women, children and health monitoring) studies will be available for the necessary follow-up actions.

·        Sound systems/mechanism facilitating 'polluters pay' principles will be established.

 

The pollution load presented in Part B. I above will be reduced and sanitarily disposed as follows:

Suspended Solids        95%           

C. 0. D.                       55%           

B. 0. D.                       65%           

Sulfide                         98%           

Chromium                95%
