Projecting Land Demand For Sanitary Landfills
Get the capacity of existing cemetery and other private memorial parks
to be able to determine if there is a need to identify other burial site.
6. Estimate cemetery requirement based on a minimum plot size of 1.0 meter
by 2.4 meters (excluding open spaces, circulation and facility requirements).
Given:
Population = 100,000
Height = 10 m
=18,200,000 kg/year
330 kg/m3 10 m
= 8.25 hectares
7. Select the site for solid waste facilities and indicate in the land use map. The following
is the general siting criteria for waste facilities
n Environmentally satisfactory –prevent surface and groundwater pollution, soil
contamination, and air pollution
n Socially acceptable –minimize smell and noise, aesthetic
n Good accessibility –proper distance, good road infrastructure
n Good service provision –access to water, power, and sewerage
8. Appropriate the necessary land, including the required right-of-way access to the
land for the construction of the sewage and/or septage treatment facilities (Sec. 7, RA
9275 – Clean Water Act)
The site selection criteria for sewerage disposal are found in Annex SO-4.
Minimum Locational Considerations.
9. Identify other viable strategies to contain and manage wastewater such as:
n Establishment of technologies (mechanized/non-mechanized) for wastewater
treatment;
n Protection and preservation of natural wetlands from destruction, loss or
degradation, recognizing its role as a natural filtration system for wastewater before
it enters a larger body of water;
n Reuse of wastewater/water reclamation;
n Provision of market-based mechanisms such as the adoption of “pollution charge”
policy.
