a The applicable climate classification is determined based on the annual rainfall plus the recirculated leachate application rate. Recirculated leachate application rate (in inches/year) is the total volume of leachate recirculated from company records or engineering estimates and applied to the landfill divided by the area of the portion of the landfill containing waste [with appropriate unit conversions].

Dry climate = precipitation plus recirculated leachate less than 20 inches/year;

Moderate climate = precipitation plus recirculated leachate from 20 to 40 inches/year (inclusive);

Wet climate = precipitation plus recirculated leachate greater than 40 inches/year.

Alternatively, landfills that use leachate recirculation can elect to use the k value for wet climate rather than calculating the recirculated leachate rate.

b Kraft Recovery Wastes include green liquor dregs, slaker grits, and lime mud, which may also be referred to collectively as causticizing or recausticizing wastes.

c A facility that can segregate out pulp and paper industry wastewater sludge must apply the 0.12 DOC value to that portion of the sludge.
