If the 1-month re-monitoring shows a concentration less than 500 ppm above backgrounds, no further monitoring of that location is required until the next quarterly monitoring period. If the 1-month re-monitoring shows an exceedance, the actions specified in SC V.3.c or SC V.3.e shall be taken. (40 CFR 62.16720(c)(4)(iv))

For any location where monitored methane concentration equals or exceeds 500 ppm above backgrounds three times within a quarterly period, a new well or other collection device must be installed within 120 calendar days of the initial exceedance.

Appendix 7. Emission Calculations

The permittee shall use the following calculations in conjunction with monitoring, testing or recordkeeping data to determine compliance with the applicable requirements referenced in FGACTIVECOLL-OOO and FGOPENFLARE-OOO.

Calculation used to determine NMOC emissions from any nonproductive area

The following shall be used to determine if any nonproductive area of the landfill may be excluded from control, provided that the total of all excluded areas can be shown to contribute less than one percent of the total amount of NMOC emissions from the landfill. The amount, location, and age of the material must be documented and provided upon request. A separate NMOC emissions estimate must be made for each section proposed for exclusion, and the sum of all such sections must be compared to the NMOC emissions estimate for the entire landfill. Emissions from each section must be computed using the following equation: (40 CFR 62.16728(a)(3)(ii)(A))

Qi = 2 k Lo Mi (e-kti) (CNMOC) (3.6 × 10−9)

Where:

Qi = NMOC emission rate from the ith section, Mg per year

k = methane generation rate constant, year−1

Lo = methane generation potential, cubic meters per Mg solid waste

Mi = mass of the degradable solid waste in the ith section, Mg

ti = age of the solid waste in the ith section, years

CNMOC = concentration of non-methane organic compounds, ppm by volume

3.6 ×10−9 = conversion factor

The values for k and CNMOC determined in field testing must be used if field testing has been performed in determining the NMOC emission rate or the radii of influence (this distance from the well center to a point in the landfill where the pressure gradient applied by the blower or compressor approaches zero). If field testing has not been performed, the default values for k, Lo and CNMOC provided in 40 CFR 62.16718 or the alternative values from 40 CFR 62.16718 must be used. The mass of non-degradable solid waste contained within the given section may be subtracted from the total mass of the section when estimating emissions provided the nature, location, age, and amount of the non-degradable material is documented as provided in 40 CFR 62.16728(a)(3)(i). (40 CFR 62.16278(a)(3)(iii))

Net Heating Value of the gas being combusted in the flare:

The net heating value of the gas being combusted in the flare shall be calculated and recorded using the equation provided in 40 CFR 60.18(f)(3). (40 CFR 60.18(f)(3))

Where:

HT = Net heating value of the sample, MJ/scm; where the net enthalpy per mole of offgas is based on combustion at 25°C and 760 mm Hg, but the standard temperature for determining the volume corresponding to one mole is 20°C;

Ci = Concentration of sample component i in ppm on a wet basis, as measured for organics by Reference Method 18 and measured for hydrogen and carbon monoxide by ASTM D1946–77 or 90 (Reapproved 1994) (Incorporated by reference as specified in 40 CFR 60.17); and

Hi = Net heat of combustion of sample component i, kcal/g mole at 25°C and 760 mmHg. The heats of combustion may be determined using ASTM D2382–76 or 88 or D4809–95 (incorporated by reference as specified in 40 CFR 60.17) if published values are not available or cannot be calculated.

n= Number of sample components.

Calculation for Vmax steam-assisted and non-assisted flares

The maximum permitted velocity, Vmax, for flares complying with 40 CFR 60.18(c)(4)(iii) shall be calculated and recorded using the equation provided in 40 CFR 60.18(f)(5). (40 CFR 60.18(f)(5))

Log10 (Vmax)=(HT + 28.8)/31.7

Where:

Vmax = Maximum permitted velocity, M/sec

28.8 = Constant

31.7 = Constant

HT = The net heating value as determined in 60.18(f)(3).

Calculation for Vmax for air-assisted flares

The maximum permitted velocity, Vmax, for air-assisted flares shall be calculated and recorded using the equation provided in 40 CFR 60.18(f)(6). (40 CFR 63.11(b)(8))

Vmax = 8.706 + 0.7084 (HT)

Where:

Vmax = Maximum permitted velocity, m/sec

8.706 = Constant

0.7084 = Constant

HT = The net heating value as determined in 63.11(b)(6)(ii).

Appendix 8. Reporting

Annual, Semiannual, and Deviation Certification Reporting

The permittee shall use the MiEnviro forms ROP Annual Compliance Certification and ROP Semi-Annual Compliance Certification for the annual, semiannual and deviation certification reporting referenced in the Reporting Section of the Source-Wide, Emission Unit and/or Flexible Group Special Conditions. .
