Description | Landfill Gas Collection Efficiency |
A1: Area with no waste in-place | Not applicable; do not use this area in the calculation. |
A2: Area without active gas collection, regardless of cover type | CE2: 0%. |
A3: Area with daily soil cover and active gas collection | CE3: 60%. |
A4: Area with an intermediate soil cover, or a final soil cover not meeting the criteria for A5 below, and active gas collection | CE4: 75%. |
A5: Area with a final soil cover of 3 feet or thicker of clay or final cover (as approved by the relevant agency) and/or geomembrane cover system and active gas collection | CE5: 95%. |
Weighted average collection efficiency for landfills: | |
Area weighted average collection efficiency for landfills | CEave1 = (A2*CE2 + A3*CE3 + A4*CE4 + A5*CE5) / (A2 + A3 + A4 + A5). |
