Restriction of Emissions From Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

PURPOSE: This rule is part of a Clean Air Act Section 111(d) State Plan. The rule allows Missouri to take delegation and enforcement authority of the federal requirements for affected facilities in Missouri. The requirements in this rule are identical to the federal requirements. This rule requires owners or operators of municipal solid waste landfills to report their landfill’s design capacity and non-methane organic compound (NMOC) emissions. Landfills having design capacities and NMOC emission rates above the regulatory cutoff must design, install, and operate a gas collection and control system.
