Operational Standards For Collection and Control Systems [40 CFR§60.7531
c. Each owner or operator of a MSW landfill with a gas collection and control system used to comply with the
provisions of§60.752(b)(2)(ii)of this subpart shall:
L 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:
(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 geoutembrane 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 Iwo calibration gases are required,a zero and span, and ambient air may be used as the

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 sleep 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 avid 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 shalt 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 monitored exceedance is not a violation of the
operational requirements.
d. Compliance Provisions [40 CFR§60.7551
i. For the purpose of demonstrating whether the gas collection system flow rate is sufficient to determine

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.
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 shalt 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 shalt 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 fora 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

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 arc 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 Iong as the requirements of 40 CFR 60.759 are met.
ii. Operate the collection and control system with a negative 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 for 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.

Permit No.08849T07
Page 10
vi. The Permittce 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 welt 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 lime(four months),then modifications to the lateral/welthead would have to be
made including lowering the well and reattaching the wellhead to begin the required monitoring.
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 excecdances 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(lie 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 execedances 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 excecdances
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 execedances of the 500 ppm methane
surface concentration limit are detected.
The Permittce shall update the facility diagrams to indicate which wells are shutdown because the landfill
gas production rates are too low to per►nit continuous extraction.
x. The Permittee may its 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§60.7571
i. Each owner or operator seeking to comply with§60.752(b)(2)using an active collection system designed
