B. Except as
provided in
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 a (2), the

C. Each owner of an MSW landfill subject to
the provisions of
9VAC5-40-5820 C shall keep for at
least five years up-to-date, readily accessible, on-site records of the design
capacity report which triggered
9VAC5-40-5820 C, the current amount
of solid waste in-place, and the year-by-year waste acceptance rate. Off-site
records may be maintained if they are retrievable within four hours. Either
paper copy or electronic formats are acceptable.
D. Each owner of a controlled landfill shall
keep up-to-date, readily accessible records for the life of the control
equipment of the data listed in subdivisions D 1 through D 4 of this section as
measured during the initial compliance test or compliance determination.
Records of subsequent tests or monitoring shall be maintained for a minimum of
five years. Records of the control device vendor specifications shall be
maintained until removal.
1. Where an owner
subject to the provisions of this article seeks to demonstrate compliance with
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 b:
a. The maximum expected gas generation flow
rate as calculated in
9VAC5-40-5850 C 1. The owner may
use an alternative method to determine the maximum gas generation flow rate, if
the method has been approved by the board.
b. The density of wells, horizontal
collectors, surface collectors, or other gas extraction devices determined
using the procedures specified in
9VAC5-40-5824 A 1.
2. Where an owner subject to the
provisions of this article seeks to demonstrate compliance with
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 c through use of
an enclosed combustion device other than a boiler or process heater with a
design heat input capacity equal to or greater than 44 megawatts:
a. The average combustion temperature
measured at least every 15 minutes and averaged over the same time period of
the compliance test.
b. The percent
reduction of NMOC determined as specified in
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 c (2) achieved by
the control device.
3.
Where an owner subject to the provisions of this article seeks to demonstrate
compliance with
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 c (2) (a) through
use of a boiler or process heater of any size: a description of the location at
which the collected gas vent stream is introduced into the boiler or process
heater over the same time period of the compliance testing.
4. Where an owner subject to the provisions
of this article seeks to demonstrate compliance with
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 c (1) through use
of an open flare, the flare type (i.e., steam-assisted, air-assisted, or
nonassisted), all visible emission readings, heat content determination, flow
rate or bypass flow rate measurements, and exit velocity determinations made
during the compliance test as specified in
40 CFR
60.18; continuous records of the flare pilot
flame or flare flame monitoring and records of all periods of operations during
which the pilot flame of the flare flame is absent.
E. Each owner of a controlled landfill
subject to the provisions of this article shall keep for five years up-to-date,
readily accessible continuous records of the equipment operating parameters
specified to be monitored in
9VAC5-40-5870 as well as
up-to-date, readily accessible records for periods of operation during which
the parameter boundaries established during the most recent compliance test are
exceeded.
1. The following constitute
exceedances that shall be recorded and reported under
9VAC5-40-5880 H:
a. For enclosed combustors except for boilers
and process heaters with design heat input capacity of 44 megawatts (150
million British thermal units per hour) or greater, all three-hour periods of
operation during which the average combustion temperature was more than 28
degrees Celsius below the average combustion temperature during the most recent
compliance test at which compliance with
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 c was
determined.
b. For boilers or
process heaters, whenever there is a change in the location at which the vent
stream is introduced into the flame zone as required under subdivision D 3 of
this section.
2. Each
owner subject to the provisions of this article shall keep up-to-date, readily
accessible continuous records of the indication of flow to the control device
or the indication of bypass flow or records of monthly inspections of car-seals
or lock-and-key configurations used to seal bypass lines, specified under
9VAC5-40-5870.
3. Each owner subject to the provisions of
this article who uses a boiler or process heater with a design heat input
capacity of 44 megawatts or greater to comply with
9VAC5-40-5820 C 2 c shall keep an
up-to-date, readily accessible record of all periods of operation of the boiler
or process heater. (Examples of such records could include records of steam
use, fuel use, or monitoring data collected pursuant to other state or federal
regulatory requirements.)
4. Each
owner seeking to comply with the provisions of this article by use of an open
flare shall keep up-to-date, readily accessible continuous records of the flame
or flare pilot flame monitoring specified under
9VAC5-40-5870 E, and up-to-date,
readily accessible records of all periods of operation in which the flame or
flare pilot flame is absent.
F. Each owner subject to the provisions of
this article shall keep for the life of the collection system an up-to-date,
readily accessible plot map showing each existing and planned collector in the
system and providing a unique identification location label for each collector.
1. Each owner subject to the provisions of
this article shall keep up-to-date, readily accessible records of the
installation date and location of all newly installed collectors as specified
under 9VAC5-40-5850 D.
2. Each owner subject to the provisions of
this article shall keep readily accessible documentation of the nature, date of
deposition, amount, and location of asbestos-containing or nondegradable waste
excluded from collection as provided in
9VAC5-40-5824 A 3 a as well as any
nonproductive areas excluded from collection as provided in
9VAC5-40-5824 A 3 b.
G. Each owner subject to the
provisions of this article shall keep for at least five years up-to-date,
readily accessible records of all collection and control system exceedances of
the operational standards in
9VAC5-40-5822, the reading in the
subsequent month whether or not the second reading is an exceedance, and the
location of each exceedance.
H.
Landfill owners who convert design capacity from volume to mass or from mass to
volume to demonstrate that the landfill design capacity is less than (i) 1.0
million megagrams or 1.0 million cubic meters in the Northern Virginia Volatile
Organic Compound Emissions Control Area or (ii) 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5
million cubic meters in the remaining areas of the Commonwealth, as provided in
the definition of "design capacity," shall keep readily accessible, on-site
records of the annual recalculation of site-specific density, design capacity,
and the supporting documentation. Off-site records may be obtained if they are
retrievable within four hours. Either paper copy or electronic formats are
acceptable.
