Records of newly installed collectors shall be maintained pursuant to 40 CFR 60.36f(b) and documentation of asbestos-containing or nondegradable waste excluded from collection shall be kept pursuant to 40 CFR 60.40(a)(3)(i) and records of any nonproductive areas excluded from collection shall be kept pursuant to 40 CFR 60.40f(a)(3)(ii).

(i) The owner or operator of a MSW landfill subject to 15A NCAC 02D .1703(b) shall keep for at least five years accessible records of the following:

(1) for each owner or operator that chooses to comply with the operational provisions of 40 CFR 63.1958, 63.1960, and 63.1961, as allowed by 15A NCAC 02D .1705, 02D .1706, and .1707, the date upon which the owner or operator started complying with the provisions in 40 CFR 63.1958, 63.1960, and 63.1961, and records according to 40 CFR 63.1983(e)(1) through (e)(5) in lieu of Subparagraphs (2) through (4) of this Paragraph;

(2) records of emissions from the collection and control system exceeding the operational standards pursuant to 40 CFR 60.34f, including the reading in the subsequent month whether or not the second reading is an exceedance, and the location of each exceedance;

(3) records of each wellhead temperature monitoring value of 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit) or above, each well head nitrogen level at or above 20 percent, and each wellhead oxygen level at or above five percent; and

(4) records for any root cause analysis as provided in 40 CFR 60.39f(e)(3) through (e)(5).

(j) The owner or operator of a MSW landfill who converts design capacity from volume to mass or mass to volume to demonstrate that landfill design capacity is less than 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 million cubic meters, as provided in the definition of "design capacity", shall keep readily accessible, on-site records of the annual recalculation of site specific density, design capacity, and the supporting documentation. Off-site records may be maintained if they are retrievable within four hours. Either paper copy or electronic formats are acceptable.

(k) The owner or operator of a MSW landfill seeking to demonstrate that site-specific surface methane emissions are below 500 parts per million by conducting surface emissions monitoring under the Tier 4 procedures shall follow the recordkeeping provisions provided in 40 CFR 60.39f(g).

(l) The owner or operator of a MSW landfill subject to the provisions of this Section shall keep for at least five years up-to-date, readily accessible records of all collection and control system monitoring data for the parameters measured in 40 CFR 60.37f(a)(1) through (a)(3).
