III.FACILITY DESCRIPTION: The Anson County Waste Management Facility(ACWMF) is a
municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill located near the town of Polkton, Anson County,North
Carolina. The landfill began accepting waste in 2001. The facility installed a voluntary gas
collection and control system to control odor, to minimize landfill gas migration,to allow the facility
to build carbon credits, and to pursue gas-to-energy projects. The initial Air Quality permit was a
state issued Synthetic Minor Permit for a waste gas flare because at that time the design capacity was
less than Title V thresholds. On September 24,2013, the facility was issued the initial Title V permit.
The design capacity of this facility is currently greater than the NSPS, Subpart W W W,applicability
threshold of 2.5 million cubic meters by volume and 2.5 million mega grams by mass. The facility
performed Tier 2 testing on December 15, 2011 and the results indicated that the NMOC emissions
were below 50 mega grams per year(threshold to require a mandatory gas collection and control
system). The Tier II results indicated an additional 5 years, with no GCCS requirement by Air
Regulations NSPS WW W thru 2016. This facility performed its most recent Tier II test in December
2018 and into January 2019 and submitted a test report on February 28, 2019. The data summary of
that report that was approved by DAQ indicates the facility continues to test out, less than 50 Mg/yr
NMOC until 2022 (28.89 Mg/yr in 2022)
On March 26, 2018,NCDEQ Solid Waste Division issued to ACWMF a Permit-To-Construct for
Phase 3 and 4. On May 9,2018, construction of Phase 3 began and triggered NSPS XXX. The Initial
Design Capacity Report to meet the requirements of NSPS XXX,40 CFR 60.767(a)(1)(i)and 40 CFR
60.676(b)(1)(i)(A)was submitted to DAQ on August 3,2018 to meet an August 7,2018 deadline.
That report contained a NMOC Tier 1 calculation indicating the NMOC 867.5 Mg/yr. This facility
elected to perform a Tier 2 Test to determine actual NMOC emissions. As noted above,the facility
performed another Tier II test in December 2018 and into January 2019. The data summary of that
report that was approved by DAQ indicates the facility continues to test out, less than 34 Mg/yr.
NMOC until 2022. The facility has options to perform further testing as contained in NSPS XXX.
However, should the facility not be able to test out of the requirement of a GCCS as required by
NSPS XXX,the facility has 30 months from the Initial Design Capacity Report submitted on August
3, 2018 to fully comply with NSPS XXX. Also,ACWMF has submitted a permit application to
include NSPS XXX into their permit. That permit action is under review in Raleigh Central Office
Permit Section.
