Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Each
owner and operator shall submit a design capacity report to the Agency.
1) The initial design capacity report shall
be submitted no later than October 29, 1998.
2) The initial design capacity report shall
contain the following information:
A) A map
or plot of the landfill providing the size and location of the landfill and
identifying all areas where solid waste may be landfilled according to the
provisions of the State or RCRA construction or operating permit.
B) The maximum design capacity of the
landfill. If the maximum design capacity is specified in a State construction
or RCRA permit, a copy of the permit specifying the maximum design capacity of
the landfill shall be provided. If the maximum design capacity of the landfill
is not specified in a permit, the maximum design capacity shall be calculated
using good engineering practices. The calculations shall be provided, along
with the relevant parameters (e.g., depth of solid waste, solid waste
acceptance rate, and compaction practices, as applicable), as part of the
report. The Agency may request other reasonable information as may be necessary
to verify the maximum design capacity of the landfill.
3) An amended design capacity report shall be
submitted to the Agency providing notification of an increase in the design
capacity of the landfill within 90 days after an increase in the maximum design
capacity of the landfill to or above 2.5 million Mg and 2.5 million
m3. This increase in design capacity may result from
an increase in the permitted volume or an increase in the density of the
landfill as documented in the annual recalculation required in Section
220.290(f)
of this Subpart.
b) Each
owner and operator with a total design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5
million Mg and 2.5 million m3 shall submit an NMOC
emission rate report to the Agency initially and by June 1 annually thereafter,
except as provided for in subsections (b)(1) and (b)(4) of this Section. The
Agency may request such additional information as may be necessary to verify
the reported NMOC emission rate. The NMOC emission rate report shall contain an
annual or 5-year estimate of the NMOC emission rate calculated using the
formula and procedures in Section
220.260(a)
of this Subpart, as applicable. The annual NMOC emission rate report required
by this subsection must be submitted with the annual emissions report required
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
201.302(a).
1) The initial NMOC emission rate report may
be combined with the initial design capacity report required in subsection (a)
of this Section. The first NMOC emission report shall be filed with the Agency
by October 29, 1998. Subsequent NMOC emission reports shall be filed with the
Agency by June 1 of the subsequent year, except as provided for in subsection
(b)(2) of this Section.
2) Using
Tier 1, if the estimated NMOC emission rate as reported in the annual report to
the Agency is less than 50 Mg/yr in each of the next 5 consecutive years, the
owner or operator may elect to submit an estimate of the NMOC emission rate for
the next 5-year period in lieu of the annual report. This estimate shall
include the current amount of solid waste in-place and the estimated waste
acceptance rate for each year of the 5 years for which an NMOC emission rate is
estimated. All data and calculations upon which this estimate is based shall be
provided to the Agency. This estimate shall be revised at least once every 5
years. If the actual waste acceptance rate exceeds the estimated waste
acceptance rate in any year reported in the 5-year estimate, a revised 5-year
estimate shall be submitted to the Agency. The revised estimate shall cover the
5-year period beginning with the year in which the actual waste acceptance rate
exceeded the estimated waste acceptance rate.
3) The NMOC emission rate report shall
include all the data, calculations, sample reports and measurements used to
estimate the annual or 5-year emissions.
4) All owners and operators of MSW landfills
with a total design capacity of 2.5 million Mg and 2.5 million
m3 are required to submit an annual emissions report
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
201.302(a).
MSW landfills that have installed a gas collection and control system that
meets the requirements of this Subpart are not required to submit an annual
NMOC emission rate report but are required to submit an annual emissions report
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
201.302(a).
Further, owners or operators filing a 5-year estimate of NMOC emissions
pursuant to subsection (b)(2) of this Section may use a 5-year estimate for
NMOC, so long as they file an annual emission report and meet the requirements
of subsection (b)(2) of this Section.
c) Each owner or operator subject to the
provisions of Section
220.220(a)
of this Subpart shall submit an application for a construction permit
containing the information listed in subsection (c)(3) of this Section to the
Agency within 1 year after the first report, required under subsection (b) of
this Section, in which the emission rate exceeds 50 Mg/yr, except as follows:
1) If the owner or operator elects to
recalculate the NMOC emission rate after Tier 2 NMOC sampling and analysis as
provided in Section
220.260(a)(3)
of this Subpart and the resulting rate is less than 50 Mg/yr, annual periodic
reporting shall be resumed, using the Tier 2 determined site-specific NMOC
concentration, until the calculated emission rate is equal to or greater than
50 Mg/yr or the landfill is inactive. The revised NMOC emission rate report,
with the recalculated emission rate based on NMOC sampling and analysis, shall
be submitted within 1 year after the first calculated exceedence of 50
Mg/yr.
2) If the owner or operator
elects to recalculate the NMOC emission rate after determining a site-specific
methane generation rate constant k, as provided in Tier 3 in Section
220.260(a)(4)
of this Subpart, and the resulting emission rate is less than 50 Mg/yr, annual
periodic reporting shall be resumed or the landfill is inactive. The resulting
site-specific methane generation rate constant k shall be used in the emission
rate calculation until such time as the emission rate calculation results in an
exceedence. The revised NMOC emission rate report based on the provisions of
Section
220.260(a)(4)
of this Subpart and the resulting site-specific methane generation rate
constant k shall be submitted to the Agency within 1 year after the first
calculated emission rate exceeding 50 Mg/yr.
3) In addition to the information required by
35 Ill. Adm. Code
201.152,
the following shall be included in the construction permit application for the
collection system required pursuant to Section
220.280(c)
of this Subpart: depths of refuse, refuse gas generation rates and flow
characteristics, cover properties, gas system expandibility, leachate and
condensate management, accessibility, compatibility with filling operations,
integration with closed landfill end use, air intrusion control, corrosion
resistance, fill settlement, and resistance to the refuse decomposition
heat.
d) Each owner or
operator of a controlled landfill shall submit the information required by this
subsection (d) to the Agency 30 days prior to removal or cessation of operation
of the control equipment. The Agency may request such additional information as
may be necessary to verify that all of the conditions for removal of equipment
in accordance with Section
220.250(h)
