(a) The owner or operator of each municipal solid waste landfill subject to the requirement to install and operate a gas emission collection and control system pursuant to this subpart shall complete planning, awarding of contracts, installing, and starting up of municipal solid waste landfill gas emission collection and control equipment within thirty (30) months after the date an NMOC emission rate report shows: (1) NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding thirty-four (34) megagrams per year for active landfills; (2) NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding fifty (50) megagrams per year for closed landfills; or (3) A methane surface emission concentration equal to or exceeding five hundred parts per million (500 ppm) based on Tier 4 surface emissions monitoring. (b) The owner or operator of each municipal solid waste landfill subject to this subpart shall comply with the increments of progress listed in Table 41.16.1. Table 41.16.1 Increments of Progress Increment Date if Using Tiers 1, 2, or 3 Date if Using Tier 4 Increment 1: Submit final collection and control system design plan to the Division in accordance with 8 CAR § 41-1610 Twelve (12) months after initial NMOC emission rate report or the first annual emission rate report showing NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding thirty-four (34) megagrams per year for active landfills or NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding fifty (50) megagrams for closed landfills Twelve (12) months after the first measured concentration of methane million or greater from the surface of the landfill Increment 2: Submit notice to the Division that on-site construction of collection and control system has begun Twenty-four (24) months after initial NMOC emission rate report or the first annual emission rate report showing NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding thirty-four (34) megagrams per year for active landfills or NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding fifty (50) megagrams for closed landfills Twenty-four (24) months after the First measured concentration of methane of five hundred (500) parts per million or greater fro the surface of the landfill Increment 3: Submit notice to the Division that on-site construction of collection and control system is complete Thirty (30) months after initial NMOC emission rate report or the first annual emission rate report showing NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding to thirty-four (34) megagrams per year for active landfills or NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding fifty (50) megagrams for closed landfills Thirty (30) months after the first measured concentration of methane of five hundred (500) parts per million or greater from the surface of the landfill Increment 4: Final compliance with 8 CAR § 41-1608 Thirty (30) months after initial NMOC emission rate report or the first annual emission rate report showing NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding to thirty-four (34) megagrams per year for active landfills or NMOC emissions equal to or exceeding fifty (50) megagrams for closed landfills Thirty (30) months after the first measured concentration of methane of five hundred (500) parts per million or greater from the surface of the landfill
