Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill MACT
Summary
The final MACT rule contains the same requirements as a previous
rule, Emission
Guidelines - New Source Performance Standards (EG/NSPS) [PDF],
for MSW landfills. Further information on the EG/NSPS can be found
in 40
CFR part 60, subparts Cc and WWW. Also Startup,
Shutdown and Malfunction [PDF] plans are required. The final
MSW landfill MACT rule requires compliance reporting every 6 months
while the EG/NSPS requires annual reporting. For bioreactors at large
landfills, the NESHAP also require timely installation of controls,
and allows timely removal of controls. Visit the US
EPA web site on EG/NSPS or view a list of MSW
landfills nationwide [PDF].
