Posted on Feb. 24, 2024 / Advocacy Alert, Landfills / Subscribe 0
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drafted new emission factors for AP-42 Chapter 2, Section 4 - Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. The EPA publishes AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors from Stationary Sources, to provide emissions factors for over 200 air pollution source categories, which are specific industry sectors. The EPA website has a redline version available for easier review.
SWANA members have expressed concerns about the proposed emissions factors and the definitions.
The EPA is offering a 45-day public review period that will end February 26, 2024. SWANA has requested an extension to the comment period and will be preparing comments on these proposed regulations. SWANA’s Landfill Gas and Biogas Technical Division is reviewing the proposed changes.
