Gas Control System Requirements
Section 220
Section 220.230 Gas Control
System Requirements
Each owner and operator of an
MSW landfill subject to the control requirements of this Subpart must install
and operate a gas collection system that routes all the collected gas to a gas
control system that complies with the requirements in subsection (f) and either
install a gas control system, as described in either subsection (a), (b), or
(c) of this Section, or obtain approval of and install an alternate gas control
system pursuant to subsection (d) or (e) of this Section.
a) An open flare designed and operated in accordance with 40 CFR
60.18, incorporated by reference in Section 220.130 of this Part.
b) A control system designed and operated to reduce NMOC by 98
weight-percent, or, when an enclosed combustion device is used for control, to
either reduce NMOC by 98 weight-percent or reduce the outlet NMOC concentration
to less than 20 ppmv, dry basis as hexane at 3 percent oxygen. The reduction
efficiency or ppmv must be established by an initial performance test required
pursuant to Section 220.210(d)(2), using the test methods required under
Section 220.260(d) of this Subpart:
1) If a boiler or process heater is used as the control device,
the landfill gas stream shall be introduced into the flame zone.
2) The control device shall be operated within the parameter
ranges established during the initial or most recent performance test. The
operating parameters to be monitored are specified in Section 220.270 of this
Subpart. The initial performance test must be performed within 6 months after
startup or by October 31, 2001, whichever is later.
c) A treatment system that processes the collected gas for
subsequent sale or use. All emissions from any atmospheric vent from the gas
treatment system shall be subject to the requirements of subsection (b) of this
Section.
d) An alternate gas control system approved by the Agency. An
owner or operator seeking to install an alternate gas control system shall
demonstrate to the Agency that such collection system is capable of control
equivalent to subsection (b) of this Section. Such alternate shall be
effective only when included in a federally enforceable permit or approved as a
SIP revision. The alternate shall include any alternate procedures for
collection, control, compliance, monitoring, operation, testing, reporting, and
recordkeeping that are appropriate.
e) Pursuant to Section 28.1 of the Act [415 ILCS 5/28.1], and in
accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106, Subpart G, provisions for adjusted
standards, adjusted standards for alternate emissions standards or alternate
emissions standards with an alternate compliance schedule shall be granted by
the Board, to the extent consistent with federal law. An owner or operator
seeking an alternate emissions standard or an alternate emissions standard with
an alternate compliance schedule must demonstrate to the Board that, with
respect to the MSW landfill, the control requirements meet one or more of the
criteria listed in this subsection (e), pursuant to 40 CFR 60.24(f). Any such
request must be approved by the Board. Such alternate shall be effective only
when included in a federally enforceable permit or approved as a SIP revision.
Any alternate shall include any procedures for collection, control, compliance,
monitoring, operation, testing, reporting, and recordkeeping that are
appropriate and a demonstration that the control requirements as contained in
this Subpart, as they apply to the MSW landfill, meet one or more of the
following criteria:
1) Unreasonable cost of control resulting from plant age,
location, or basic process design;
2) Physical impossibility of installing necessary control
equipment; or
3) Other factors specific to the MSW landfill that support an
alternate emissions standard or alternate emissions standard with final compliance
date.
f) Gas control systems must be operated in accordance with a
permit issued pursuant to the applicable requirements of 35 Ill. Adm.
Code.Subtitle G.
