Title 129 - AIR QUALITY REGULATIONS
Chapter 12 - NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND EMISSION LIMITS FOR EXISTING SOURCES
Section 129-12-003 - Emission Limits for Existing Stationary Sources
Universal Citation: 129 NE Admin Rules and Regs ch 12 ยง 003
Current through March 20, 2024
Notwithstanding any other provisions of these regulations, the following emission limits are applicable to existing sources as follows:
003.01 Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The designated facility to which these limits apply is each existing MSW landfill for which construction, reconstruction or modification was commenced before May 30, 1991, which has accepted waste at any time since November 8, 1987, or has additional capacity available for future waste deposition.
003.01A Each designated facility
having an aggregate design capacity of 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 million
cubic meters or more will calculate and report nonmethane organic compound
(NMOC) emissions as provided for new MSW landfills under Section 001.74 of this
Chapter beginning 90 days after September 8, 1997.
003.01B Each designated facility having an
NMOC emission rate of 50 megagrams per year or more will design, install and
operate a landfill gas collection and control system (LGCCS) as provided for
new MSW landfills under Section 001.74 of this Chapter. An alternate design
plan may be approved by the Department provided the source demonstrates that:
003.01B1 Meeting the requirements of Section
001.74 of this Chapter will result in unreasonable costs of control due to
plant age, location, or basic process design;
003.01B2 It will be physically impossible to
install the necessary control equipment needed to meet the requirements of
Section 001.74 of this Chapter; or
003.01B3 Other factors specific to the
facility will make application of a less stringent standard significantly more
reasonable than meeting the requirements of Section 001.74 of this
Chapter.
003.01C Each
designated facility subject to the control provisions of 003.01B above will
submit the LGCCS design for Department review within 1 year of the first report
in which NMOC emissions equal or exceed 50 megagrams per year, and will install
the approved LGCCS within 30 months of that report, except as provided under
Section 001.74 of this Chapter.
003.01D Each designated facility subject to
the control provisions of 003.01B above will conduct testing, monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting for the LGCCS as provided for new MSW landfills
under Section 001.74 of this Chapter.
003.01D1
If a source receives approval for an alternate design plan under Section
003.01B above the Department may also approve alternate testing and monitoring
procedures for the source, provided the source demonstrates that the testing
and monitoring requirements in Section 001.74 of this Chapter are not practical
for the alternate design and that the alternate procedures are adequate to
determine compliance with the approved alternate design plan.
