Finally, Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), amid large-scale concerns about its ecological impact, has initiated large-scale biomining and bioremediation of legacy waste at the Achan dumpsite, in order to address the environmental challenges posed by historical waste accumulation. Work for biomining and bioremediation of approximately 11 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste has been awarded to a specialised agency while windrow formation and associated civil works are presently underway. One trommel machine and one ballistic separator have been installed and made operational for segregation and processing of legacy waste.
