Mo. Code Regs. tit. 10 § 10-5.490
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 23, December 2, 2024
Section 10 CSR 10-5.490 - Municipal Solid Waste LandfillsPURPOSE: The purpose of this rule amendment is to update the rule purpose, applicability, definitions, and federal regulatory requirements for existing municipal solid waste landfills in Missouri. The evidence supporting the need for this proposed rulemaking is Federal Register Notice 81 FR 59276, dated August 29, 2016; Federal Register Notice 84 FR 44547, dated August 26, 2019; and Federal Register Notice 86 FR 27756, dated May 21, 2021.
PURPOSE: The 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 except that this rule implements a smaller landfill size limit and a lower emission cutoff limit that triggers requirements for gas collection and control systems when compared to the federal requirements, consistent with the 15 Percent Rate of Progress Plan under the 1979 one- (1-) hour ozone standard. 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.
(1) Applicability. (A) This rule applies to all municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills located throughout St. Louis City and Franklin, Jefferson, St. Charles, and St. Louis Counties that have accepted waste any time since November 8, 1987, or have additional capacity available for future waste deposition, and that commenced construction, reconstruction, or modification on or before July 17, 2014. Landfills that commenced construction, reconstruction, or modification after July 17, 2014, are subject to the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency's New Source Performance Standard for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills 40 CFR 60, Subpart XXX.(B) Physical or operational changes made to an existing MSW landfill solely to comply with this rule are not considered construction, reconstruction, or modification and do not subject an existing MSW landfill to the requirements of 40 CFR 60, Subpart XXX.(2) Definitions.
