Section 110(a) of the CAA requires States to submit regulations that control VOC emissions. EPA’s technical support documents (TSD) have more information about these rules. SCAQMD Rule 1150.1, ‘‘Control of Gaseous Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills,’’ is an amended rule that regulates landfill gas emissions.

The two previous versions of Rule 1150.1 (April 10, 1998 and March 10, 2000) focused on controlling VOC emissions, as well as toxic air contaminant (TAC) emissions. SCAQMD’s intent was to reduce the contribution of these pollutants to atmospheric ozone, avoid public nuisance complaints from odorous compounds, and prevent the detriment to public health caused by such emissions.
