What Source Categories are Affected by the Final NESHAP Rule?
The final rule applies to all MSW landfills that are major sources or are placed with a major source, and to some landfills that are area sources. The US EPA estimates that all MSW landfills that are major sources of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP)(i.e., with a potential to emit [PDF] at least 10 tons per year (tpy) of any individual HAP or 25 tpy total HAP) will also meet the EG/NSPS criteria for installing collection and control systems (i.e., have a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams (Mg) and 2.5 million cubic meters (m3) and have estimated uncontrolled emissions of 50 megagrams per year (Mg/yr) nonmethane organic compound (NMOC)). All major source landfills, including those operated partially or completely as bioreactors, are covered by the final rule and, in addition to EG/NSPS control requirements, are subject to the additional SSM, deviation, and compliance reporting requirements of the NESHAP. Landfills that do not themselves emit major source levels
