LIBANCONSULT Ingenieurs Conseils
The main objectives of the project are to: 1) eliminate hazardous and unsightly dumping of solid-waste; 2) improve methods of waste collection and disposal; 3) improve cost recovery and modernize municipal accounting systems; 4) improve the quality and marketability of compost, through the introduction of sorting of the waste at the entrance to the compost plant; and 5) increase the involvement of the private sector in solid waste management. The project has four components: 1) collection equipment; 2) landfill civil works; 3) waste disposal facilities; and 4) technical assistance including a coastal zone management plan. This study analyzes the environmental impacts of compost plants at Saida and Zahle and the Ammrousiyeh complex. The study finds that, despite its advantages, the composting plant may have negative impacts including: 1) the change in land use at the selected site from agricultural to a waste disposal site; and 2) the nuisance to the local population, including noise, and air pollution due to increased traffic and plant operations. In the study, it is recommended that the Amrousiyeh complex not be expanded and study results are presented on hospital and industrial wastes.
