Abstract |
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing revisions to the Emission Guidelines for existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. The EPA is not statutorily obligated to conduct a review of the Emission Guidelines, but has the discretionary authority to do so when circumstances indicate that this is appropriate. Based on changes in the landfills industry and changes in size, ownership, and age of landfills since the Emission Guidelines were promulgated in 1996, the EPA has concluded that it is appropriate to review the landfills Emission Guidelines at this time. Based on our review, we are proposing to lower the annual NMOC emissions threshold from 50 Mg/year to 34 Mg/year. |
