The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a new subpart, 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf, that updates the Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. EPA determined that it was appropriate to review the landfills Emission Guidelines based on changes in the landfills industry since the Emission Guidelines were promulgated in 1996. EPAâs review of the Emission Guidelines for municipal solid waste landfills applies to landfills that accepted waste since November 8, 1987 and commenced construction, reconstruction, or modification on or before July 17, 2014. Based on its initial review, EPA determined that it was appropriate to finalize revisions to the Emission Guidelines that reflect changes to the population of landfills and an analysis of the timing and methods for reducing emissions. This action aimed to achieve additional reductions of landfill gas and its components, including methane, incorporate new data and information received in response to an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, and address other regulatory issues including surface emissions monitoring, wellhead monitoring, and the definition of landfill gas treatment system. The finalized revisions to the Emission Guidelines reduce emissions of landfill gas, which contains both non-methane organic compounds and methane.
