i. Operate the collection system such that gas is collected from each area,cell,or group of cells in the MSW
landfill in which solid waste has been in place for 5 years or more if active;or 2 years or more if closed or
at final grade;
ii. Operate the collection system with negative pressure at each wellhead except under the following
conditions:

Permit 08849T08
Page 5
(A) A fire or increased well temperature. The owner or operator shall record instances when positive
pressure occurs in efforts to avoid a fire.These records shall be submitted with the annual reports
as provided in§60.757(f)(1);
(B) Use of a geomembrane or synthetic cover. The owner or operator shall develop acceptable
pressure limits in the design plan;
(C) A decommissioned well. A well may experience a static positive pressure after shut down to
accommodate for declining flows. All design changes shall be submitted for approval to the
DAQ Regional Office.
iii. Operate each interior wellhead in the collection system with a landfill gas temperature less than 55 °C
and with either a nitrogen level less than 20 percent or an oxygen level less than 5 percent. The owner or
operator may establish a higher operating temperature,nitrogen,or oxygen values at a particular well. A
higher operating value demonstration shall show supporting data that the elevated parameter does not
cause fires or significantly inhibit anaerobic decomposition by killing methanogens.
(A) The nitrogen level shall be determined using Method 3C,unless an alternative test method is
established as allowed by§60.752(b)(2)(i).
(B) Unless an alternative test method is established as allowed by§60.752(b)(2)(i),the oxygen shall
be determined by an oxygen meter using Method 3A or 3C except that:
(1) The span shall be set so that the regulatory limit is between 20 and 50 percent of the span;
(2) A data recorder is not required;
(3) Only two calibration gases are required,a zero and span,and ambient air may be used as the
span;
(4) A calibration error check is not required;and
(5) The allowable sample bias,zero drift,and calibration drift are f10 percent.
iv. Operate the collection system so that the methane concentration is less than 500 parts per million above
background at the surface of the landfill. To determine if this level is exceeded,the owner or operator
shall conduct surface testing around the perimeter of the collection area and along a pattern that traverses
the landfill at 30 meter intervals and where visual observations indicate elevated concentrations of landfill
gas,such as distressed vegetation and cracks or seeps in the cover.The owner or operator may establish an
alternative traversing pattern that ensures equivalent coverage. A surface monitoring design plan shall be
developed that includes a topographical map with the monitoring route and the rationale for any site-
specific deviations from the 30-meter intervals. Areas with steep slopes or other dangerous areas may be
excluded from the surface testing.
v. Operate the system such that all collected gases are vented to a control system designed and operated in
compliance with§60.752(b)(2)(iii). In the event the collection or control system is inoperable,the gas
mover system shall be shut down and all valves in the collection and control system contributing to venting
of the gas to the atmosphere shall be closed within 1 hour;and
vi. Operate the control or treatment system at all times when the collected gas is routed to the system.
vii. If monitoring demonstrates that the operational requirements in paragraphs§60.753(b),(c),or(d)are not
met,corrective action shall be taken as specified in§60.755(a)(3)through(5)or§60.755(c). If corrective
actions are taken as specified in§60.755,the moni tored exceedance is not a violation of the operational
requirements.
d. Compliance Provisions[40 CFR§60.755]
i. For the purpose of demonstrating whether the gas collection system flow rate is sufficient to determine
compliance with§60.752(b)(2)(ii)(A)(3),the owner or operator shall measure gauge pressure in the gas
collection header at each individual well,monthly. If a positive pressure exists,action shall be initiated
to correct the exceedance within 5 calendar days,except for the three conditions allowed under
§60.753(b). If negative pressure cannot be achieved without excess air infiltration within 15 calendar
days of the first measurement,the gas collection system shall be expanded to correct the exceedance
within 120 days of the initial measurement of positive pressure.Any attempted corrective measure shall
not cause exceedances of other operational or performance standards. An alternative timeline for
correcting the exceedance shall be submitted to the DAQ Regional Office for approval.
ii. Owners or operators are not required to expand the system as required in paragraph§60.755(a)(3)during
the first 180 days after gas collection system startup.

Permit 08849T08
Page 6
iii. For the purpose of identifying whether excess air infiltration into the landfill is occurring,the owner or
operator shall monitor each well monthly for temperature and nitrogen or oxygen as provided in
§60.753(c). If a well exceeds one of these operating parameters,action shall be initiated to correct the
exceedance within 5 calendar days. If correction of the exceedance cannot be achieved within 15 calendar
days of the first measurement,the gas collection system shall be expanded to correct the exceedance
within 120 days of the initial exceedance. Any attempted corrective measure shall not cause exceedances
of other operational or performance standards.An alternative timeline for correcting the exceedance shall
be submitted to the DAQ Regional Office for approval.
iv. An owner or operator seeking to demonstrate compliance with§60.752(b)(2)(ii)(A)(4)through the use of
a collection system not conforming to the specifications provided in§60.759 shall provide information
satisfactory to the Director as specified in§60.752(b)(2)(i)(C)demonstrating that off-site migration is
being controlled.
v. For purposes of compliance with§60.753(a),each owner or operator of a controlled landfill shall place
each well or design component as specified in the approved design plan as provided in§60.752(b)(2)(i).
Each well shall be installed no later than 60 days after the date on which the initial solid waste has been in
place for a period of 5 years or more if active;or 2 years or more if closed or at final grade.
vi. The following procedures shall be used for compliance with the surface methane operational standard as
provided in§60.753(d).
(A) After installation of the collection system,the owner or operator shall monitor surface
concentrations of methane along the entire perimeter of the collection area and along a pattern
that traverses the landfill at 30 meter intervals(or a site-specific established spacing)for each
collection area on a quarterly basis using an organic vapor analyzer,flame ionization detector,or
other portable monitor meeting the specifications provided in§60.753(d).
(B) The background concentration shall be determined by moving the probe inlet upwind and
downwind outside the boundary of the landfill at a distance of at least 30 meters from the
perimeter wells.
(C) Surface emission monitoring shall be performed in accordance with section 8.3.1 of Method 21 of
appendix A of 40 CFR Part 60,except that the probe inlet shall be placed within 5 to 10
centimeters of the ground.Monitoring shall be performed during typical meteorological
conditions.
(D) Any reading of 500 parts per million or more above background at any location shall be recorded
as a monitored exceedance and the actions specified in paragraphs§60.755(c)(4)(i)through(v)
shall be taken. As long as the specified actions are taken,the exceedance is not a violation of the
operational requirements of§60.753(d).
(1) The location of each monitored exceedance shall be marked and the location recorded.
(2) Cover maintenance or adjustments to the vacuum of the adjacent wells to increase the gas
collection in the vicinity of each exceedance shall be made and the location shall be re-
monitored within 10 calendar days of detecting the exceedance.
(3) If the re-monitoring of the location shows a second exceedance,additional corrective action
shall be taken and the location shall be monitored again within 10 days of the second
exceedance.If the re-monitoring shows a third exceedance for the same location,the action
specified in paragraph§60.755(c)(4)(v)shall be taken,and no further monitoring of that
location is required until the action specified in paragraph§60.755(c)(4)(v)has been taken.
(4) Any location that initially showed an exceedance but has a methane concentration less than
500 ppm methane above background at the 10-day re-monitoring specified in paragraph
§60.755 (c)(4)(ii)or(iii)shall be re-monitored 1 month from the initial exceedance.If the 1-
month remonitoring shows a concentration less than 500 parts per million above background,
no further monitoring of that location is required until the next quarterly monitoring period.
If the 1-month remonitoring shows an exceedance,the actions specified in paragraph(c)(4)
(iii)or(v)shall be taken.
(5) For any location where monitored methane concentration equals or exceeds 500 parts per
million above background three times within a quarterly period,a new well or other
collection device shall be installed within 120 calendar days of the initial exceedance.An
alternative remedy to the exceedance,such as upgrading the blower,header pipes or control
device,and a corresponding timeline for installation shall be submitted to the DAQ Regional
Office for approval.

the DAQ Regional Office.
h. Well Closure[40 CFR§60.753]
If any gas collection well qualifies for exclusion under§60.753(b)(3)as a decommissioned well,the Permittee
shall provide adequate documentation and data to justify well closure. This information shall be provided by
letter to the DAQ Regional Office as a request for approval.
i. Site Specific Requirements[40 CFR§60.756(e)]
Each owner or operator seeking to install a collection system that does not meet the specifications in §60.759
or seeking to monitor alternative parameters to those required by§60.753 through§60.756 shall provide
information satisfactory to the Administrator as provided in§60.752(b)(2)(i)(B)and(C)describing the design
and operation of the collection system,the operating parameters that would indicate proper performance,and
appropriate monitoring procedures. The following alternative operating parameters have been approved:
i. For areas that have been active for 5 years or more and are not yet at final grade,the leachate collection
system,temporary gas extraction wells,and horizontal collectors may be used for gas extraction until the
wells can be installed(i.e.final grades have been reached). This is an acceptable alternate operating
scenario as long as the requirements of 40 CFR 60.759 are met.
ii. Operate the collection and control system with a positive pressure at each well head of up to 5 inches of
water column in areas that have a geomembrane or synthetic cover. (40 CFR§60.753(b)(2)]
iii. If the collection of landfill gas from the leachate system using leachate risers and leachate sump
extraction is from an area or cell in which the initial solid waste has been in place for a period of five
years or more(if active),or two years or more(if closed or at final grade),the temperature,pressure,
nitrogen and/or oxygen shall not exceed the limits of Subpart WWW,except the oxygen limit shall
be less than or equal to 23 percent,as long as subsurface oxidation and the killing of the
methanogens does not occur.
iv. When applicable,the Permittee may use an EPA approved on-site multi-gas analyzer,in lieu of a
laboratory method,for determining the oxygen content of the landfill gas at each well and monitoring
point.
v. The Permittee shall exclude dangerous areas such as roads,the active area,traffic areas and slopes steeper
than 4:1 from surface emissions monitoring requirements. In addition,the Permittee shall temporarily
exclude areas with ongoing construction or reconstruction of the gas collection system from the surface
scans,until such time as the collection system is completed and/or functional. The Permittee is required
to make visual inspections of the areas to detect elevated concentrations of methane which results in
distressed vegetation,cracks and seeps in the covers.
vi. The Permittee may exclude the monthly readings(pressure,temperature,nitrogen or oxygen content)at a
raised vertical well(prior to final grade)in active areas of the landfill as long as the well cannot be safely
reached by a technician. If the facility cannot bring the waste height up to the new grade and reattach the
well within a reasonable time(four months),then modifications to the lateral/wellhead would have to be
made including lowering the well and reattaching the wellhead to begin the required monitoring.

Permit 08849T08
Page 10
vii. In accordance with 40 CFR§60.755(a)(3)and §60.755(a)(5)"Compliance Provisions",owner or operator
shall take corrective action to remedy gas collection and control system operating and compliance
monitoring exceedances within 5 calendar days. If the condition cannot be corrected within 15 days of the
initial exceedance,the GCCS must be expanded within 120 days of the initial reported exceedance,or an
alternate remedy to correct the exceedance(s). Any timeline extending more than 120 days shall be
approved by the Washington Regional Office.
viii.If gas collection and control system does not contain any bypasses of the flare,the requirement to record
flow or bypass of the flare is not applicable.
ix. Wells that experience positive pressure after being shutdown to accommodate declining landfill gas flow
rates can be decommissioned if permission is granted by the Administrator.As an alternative to
decommissioning wells under the provisions,the following changes to its standard operating procedure for
wells where persistent oxygen exceedances are not the result of operations and/or maintenance issues:
(A) Wells where oxygen concentrations do not decline to acceptable levels after more than one hour of
reduced vacuum will be shut off until the gas quality recovers.
(B) The monthly monitoring required by 40 CFR Sec. 60.755 will be conducted for wells that have been
shutdown,but positive pressure or elevated oxygen concentrations will not be considered exceedances
of the operating limits in 40 CFR Sec. 60.753.
(C) If monthly monitoring indicates that pressure has built up in the well and the oxygen concentration
still exceeds five percent,the well will be opened to relieve the pressure and will be shutdown until it
is monitored the following month.
(D) If the monthly monitoring indicates that gas quality has improved(i.e.,the oxygen concentration has
dropped below five percent),the well will be brought back on line until the gas quality declines again.
(E) The quarterly methane surface concentration monitoring required under 40 CFR Sec. 60.755 will be
conducted for wells that have been shutdown. Standard remediation steps,including evaluating the
need to return wells to full-time service,will be followed if exceedances of the 500 ppm methane
surface concentration limit are detected.
The Permittee shall update the facility diagrams to indicate which wells are shutdown because the landfill
gas production rates are too low to permit continuous extraction.
x. The Permittee may us USEPA Method 3C or ASTM D3588 in place of Method 18 and ASTM D1946 to
determine landfill gas components for calculating net heating value under 60.18(c)(3).
j. Reporting[40 CFR§60.757]
i. Each owner or operator seeking to comply with§60.752(b)(2)using an active collection system designed
in accordance with§60.752(b)(2)(ii)shall submit to the Division of Air Quality annual reports of the
recorded information listed below in this section.

The Permittee shall be subject to the following provisions with respect to emergencies:
1. An emergency means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of
the facility,including acts of God,which situation requires immediate corrective action to restore normal
operation,and that causes the facility to exceed a technology-based emission limitation under the permit,due to
unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by improperly designed equipment,lack of preventive maintenance,careless or improper
operation,or operator error.
2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-
based emission limitations if the conditions specified in 3.below are met.
3. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed contemporaneous operating
logs or other relevant evidence that include information as follows:
a. an emergency occurred and the Permittee can identify the cause(s)of the emergency;
b. the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;
c. during the period of the emergency the Permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels of emissions
that exceeded the standards or other requirements in the permit;and
d. the Permittee submitted notice of the emergency to the DAQ within two working days of the time when
emission limitations were exceeded due to the emergency. This notice must contain a description of the
emergency,steps taken to mitigate emissions,and corrective actions taken.
4. In any enforcement proceeding,the Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an emergency has the burden
of proof.
5. This provision is in addition to any emergency or upset provision contained in any applicable requirement
specified elsewhere herein.
