What is the process for submittal and approval of a new LFG monitoring and control system?
The landfill (LF) operator is to submit the proposed LFG monitoring and control system to the EA for its review and approval. If the EA does not approve the system, the operator would need to revise the system and resubmit it to the EA. Upon approval, EA will forward the proposed system to CIWMB for review. (The proposed system should be sent to the CIWMB jurisdictional contact within the Permitting and LEA Support Division who will facilitate the review and response.) CIWMB will then either concur or object to the system. If CIWMB objects to the system, the operator would need to revise it and resubmit it to the EA and CIWMB. To facilitate the review, the operator may request that the LEA submit the LFG Program to CIWMB for a concurrent review. If plans are reviewed concurrently, the CIWMB comments will be provided to the LEA. CIWMB’s formal review and action will not take place until after the LEA has approved the LFG Program and submitted it to the CIWMB with a request for concurren
