After discussed. The establishment has applied for obtaining fresh consent to operate under the Water Act, 1974 and Air Act, 1981 for operation of its hotel (14 rooms), restaurant of capacity 50 persons and 1 no. party hall of capacity 50 persons under green category i.e 3052-Hotels (up to 20 rooms and without boilers) and having waste water generation < 10 KLD and no hazardous waste generation.
The water requirement / wastewater generation of the establishment is as under:
a) Total rooms = 14 no.(28 persons)
b) Banquet halls = 1 nos. (50 persons)
c) Restaurant hall = 1 no. (50 persons)
d) Staff = 7 no.
e) Total persons = 135 nos.
Water requirement:
(28 x 180)+ (50 x 70) + (50 x 45) + (7 x 45) = 4.3 KLD + 2.8 KLD + 1.8 KLD +3.1 KLD = 11.15 KLD
Total wastewater generation = 11.15 x 0.8 = 8.8 KLD
