Abstract: The landfills emission guidelines were promulgated on March 12, 1996 and codified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc. The emission guidelines apply to existing municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills that commenced modification or construction before May 30, 1991, have accepted waste at any time since November 8, 1987, and have capacity available for future waste deposition. The emission guidelines apply to existing MSW landfills, including landfills located on Indian land. Landfill owners/operators must submit a design capacity report, initial and annual emission rate reports, and collection and control system design plans under either the Federal plan or State plan. Landfill closure and equipment removal reports are required when the landfill closes or the landfill meets the criteria for removing controls. Annual compliance reports must include the following information: descriptions of any period in which the value of any of the monitored operating parameters fell outside the established ranges, and any period when the collection system or air pollution control equipment malfunctioned, or when the collected gas was diverted from the control device. Landfill owners or operators must keep continuous monitoring records of the parameters reported in the initial performance report; records of monthly monitoring of wellhead temperature, pressure, and nitrogen or oxygen concentration; and records of quarterly monitoring of surface methane concentrations. In addition, owners or operators are required to maintain records of the annual compliance reports, including the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. The notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all MSW landfills subject to the emission guidelines.
