Overview

What this programme is for

Almost every Indian city carries a legacy dumpsite: decades of unsegregated waste on land that is now valuable, generating leachate into groundwater and methane into the air, and periodically catching fire.

Clearing them is among the most technically demanding and politically visible work in the sector. This programme covers how to characterise a legacy site, how biomining and bioremediation actually perform against what is promised in tender documents, and how to plan for the fractions that have no market.

What it covers

Characterising a legacy site: what is in it, and in what proportion
Biomining and bioremediation — process, timelines and realistic recovery rates
Handling the residual fraction when no market exists for it
Leachate and landfill gas during and after reclamation
Fire risk and slope stability on active dumpsites
Site closure, capping and end-use planning for reclaimed land

The full syllabus is shared on enquiry

Detailed module structures, session plans and assessment criteria are our own design, so we don’t publish them. Get in touch and we’ll send the complete syllabus along with sample case material.

What you’ll be able to do

Characterise a legacy dumpsite and estimate recoverable fractions honestly
Evaluate a biomining proposal and identify where its assumptions will fail
Plan for the residual fraction before the project starts, not after
Manage fire, leachate and stability risk during reclamation

Regulations and frameworks covered

The programme works against the rules that actually bind you, not a generic overview.

  • Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 — legacy waste provisions
  • CPCB guidelines on legacy waste management through biomining
