The Permittee may establish a higher operating temperature value at a particular well via a demonstration submitted to the DAQ Regional Office for approval. A higher operating value demonstration shall include supporting data showing that the elevated parameter does not cause fires or significantly inhibit anaerobic decomposition by killing methanogens. Permit 09835T04 Page 6 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 using an organic vapor analyzer,flame ionization detector or other portable monitor meeting the specifications of A.3.g.To determine if this level is exceeded,the facility 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 and all cover penetrations.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 mute 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 A.3.b of this section.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 ii,iii or iv above are not met, corrective action shall be taken as specified in A..3.d.iii and A.3.d.iv or A.3.f of this section. If corrective actions are taken as specified in the compliance provisions specified in A3.d through h,the monitored exceedance is not a violation of the operational requirements in this section. Compliance Provisions[40 CFR 60.7651 d. Unless the facility's collection and control system design include any alternatives to the monitoring provisions approved by the DAQ as provided in§60.767(c)(2),the following methods shall be used to determine whether the gas collection system is in compliance with A.3.b. of this section. i. For the purposes of calculating the maximum expected gas generation flow rate from the landfill to determine compliance with A3.b.ii of this section,the following equation shall be used.The k and La kinetic factors should be those published in the most recent Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors(AP-42)or other site-specific values demonstrated to be appropriate and approved by the DAQ. if k has been determined by Tier 3 testing as specified in§60.764(a)(4),the value of k determined from the test shall be used.A value of no more than 15 years shall be used for the intended use period of the gas mover equipment.The active life of the landfill is the age of the landfill plus the estimated number of years until closure. (A) For sites witb known year-to year solid waste acceptance rate; ft Q. 2k L.ffi(v ";) where, QM =maximum expected gas generation flow rate,cubic meters per year k =methane generation rate constant,year' 4 =methane generation potential,cubic meters per megagram solid waste Mi =mass of solid waste in the i'b section,megagrams t; =age of the P'section,years (B) The Permittee may use actual flow data to project the maximum expected gas generation flow rate instead of,or in conjunction with the above equation.If the landfill is still accepting waste,the actual measured flow data will not equal the maximum expected gas generation rate,so calculations using the equation above or other methods shall be used to predict the maximum expected gas generation rate over the intended period of use of the gas control system equipment. ii. For the purposes of determining sufficient density of gas collectors for compliance with A.3.b.ii of this section, the Permittee shall design a system of vertical wells,horizontal collectors,or other collection devices, satisfactory to the DAQ,capable of controlling and extracting gas from all portions of the landfill sufficient to meet all operational and performance standards. iii. For the purpose of demonstrating whether the gas collection system flow rate is sufficient to determine compliance with A.3.b.ii.(A)(3),the Permittee 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 A.3.c.ii of this section, Any attempted corrective action shall not cause exceedances of other operational or performance standards. Permit 09835T04 Page 7 (A) If negative pressure cannot be achieved without excess air infiltration within 15 calendar days of the first measurement of positive pressure,the Permittee shall conduct a root cause analysis and correct the exceedance as soon as practicable,but no later than 60 days after positive pressure was first measured. (B) If corrective actions cannot be fully implemented within 60 days,the Permittee shall conduct a corrective action plan analysis,and develop an implementation schedule to complete the corrective actions as soon as practicable,but no more than 120 days following the positive pressure measurement. (C) If corrective action is expected to take longer than 120 days to complete after the initial exceedance, the Permittee shall submit the root cause analysis,corrective action analysis,and corresponding implementation timeline to the DAQ according to A.3.cc. iv. For the purpose of identifying whether excess air infiltration into the landfill is occurring,the Permittee shall monitor each well monthly for temperature as provided in A.3.c.iii of this section.If a well exceeds the operating parameter for temperature,action shall be initiated to correct the exceedance within 5 calendar days. Any attempted corrective action shall not cause exceedances of other operational or performance standards. (A) If correction of the temperature exceedance cannot be achieved within 15 calendar days of the first measurement,the Permittee shall conduct a root cause analysis and correct the exceedance as soon as practicable,but no later than 60 days after the temperature exceedance was first measured. (B) if corrective actions cannot be fully implemented within 60 days,the Permittee shall conduct a corrective action plan analysis,and develop an implementation schedule to complete the corrective actions as soon as practicable,but no more than 120 days following the measurement of the temperature exceedance. (C) If corrective action is expected to take longer than 120 days to complete after the initial exceedance,the Permittee shall submit the root cause analysis,corrective action analysis,and corresponding implementation timeline to the DAQ according to A.3.cc. v. The Permittee may establish a higher operating temperature value at a particular well provided that the elevated parameter does not cause fires or significantly inhibit anaerobic decomposition by killing med=ogens as described in A3.c.iii of this section.An alternative operating value,a parameter,and the well ID(s)along with supporting data shall be submitted to the DAQ Regional Office for approval.
