KCC clears windrow project at Brahmapuram

Recently, the Kochi Corporation Council (KCC) sanctioned a proposal for setting up a windrow waste composting unit and another for making the refuse-derived fuel shed at the Brahmapuram yard functional to set up the window unit.

The detailed project report (DPR) for the windrow project had estimated the cost of the plant at around Rs 60 crore. The renovation of the shed will cost Rs 79.28 lakh for the civic body. The Corporation proposed the windrow plant as it felt that the waste-to-energy plant might take time to become operational.

KCC also cleared the Rs 37.95-lakh project for the construction of a road to the plant site. The access road to the plant, where municipal solid waste from nine local bodies is brought in for processing, is in a bad shape, thus affecting waste management efforts, civic administrators said. The District Collector, who heads the district unit of the Disaster Management Authority, had issued a letter to KCC with regard to repairing the road.

The waste-to-energy plant may take years to complete, and the civic body needs to find alternative arrangements to manage waste till the unit becomes operational. Any delay in waste handling at Brahmapuram will hit the Corporation areas as well as the other nine neighbouring local bodies. Hence the windrow plant, he informed the council.

KCC will take a decision on the waste-to-energy plant after discussing it with the State government. The civic body will also write to the government expressing its concerns over the plant.
