Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

18 organizations filed 22 public comments on Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, at the Environmental Protection Agency. The comment window closed 3928d ago.

Abstract

The control of landfill gas based on the proposed requirements results in emissions reductions of over 30 volatile organic compounds and air toxics such as toluene, benzene, and vinyl chloride. The reduction of these emissions has direct and indirect health benefits, environmental benefits, reductions of methane gas emissions, and reduction of odor problems. Some landfills control landfill gas by combusting it in a boiler, engine, or turbine to produce steam or electricity, taking advantage of landfill gas as a renewable energy source.
