Field Test Measurements at Five Municipal Solid Waste Landfills with Landfill Gas Control Technology:Final rept

摘要

The purpose of this field test program is to generate data that may be used to update EPAs factors for quantifying landfill gas emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Because of health and environmental concerns, EPA issued in 1996 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission Guidelines (EGs) for new and existing MSW landfills. These regulations are contained in 40 CFR Parts 51, 52, and 60, Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Guidelines for Control of Existing Sources: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (U.S. EPA, 1996, 1991a, 1991b, 1991c). These regulations require that large landfills collect and control landfill gas emissions.
