Abstract: The study focuses on the impacts and the mitigation measures of the municipal solid waste (MSW) in vaddeswaram village, Guntur district, through the Environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. It aims to look at the effect of improper management of solid waste. The study analyses the factors contributing to the effect of improper municipal solid waste management in the Village and also suggested measures that can possibly help to mitigate the problems. A landfill is designed to minimise the impacts from the MSW. Geological study is considered to locate the appropriate site for the installation of landfill, as the population of the village is going to increase rapidly the design of land fill is considered for the next 15 years. It discusses the effects of biological, physical and chemical parameters in environment.
