PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
Bountiful City operates the Bountiful Sanitary Landfill, a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill located in
Davis County, Utah. The facility accepts municipal and commercial solid waste. The waste material is
brought to the landfill by trucks and trailers. There are designated areas in the landfill for various classes
of waste. After dumping, the waste material is compacted by heavy equipment that rolls over the material
as it levels and spreads the waste material. All waste material is inspected prior to entering the dump area.
When the waste material reaches the required depth, earth is spread over the material to a required depth
to seal the dump area. Water is used to control visible emissions.

II.B.1.a.1 Monitoring:
The permittee shall monitor the NMOC emission rate using the equations in
40 CFR 62.16718 and by following the four tiers process outlined in 40 CFR
62.16718.
(a) The permittee shall calculate the NMOC emission rate using either
Equation 1 or Equation 2 of 40 CFR 62.16718.
(b) Tier 1. The permittee shall compare the calculated NMOC mass emission
rate to the standard of 34 megagrams per year.
(1) If the NMOC emission rate calculated in (a) of this monitoring
section is less than 34 megagrams per year, then the permittee must
submit an NMOC emission rate report according to 40 CFR
62.16724(c) and must recalculate the NMOC mass emission rate
annually as required under 40 CFR 62.16714(e).
(2) If the NMOC emission rate calculated in (a) of this monitoring
section is equal to or greater than 34 megagrams per year, then
the permittee shall either:
(i) Submit a gas collection and control system within 1 year as
specified in 40 CFR 62.16724(d) and install and operate a gas
collection and control system within 30 months according to
40 CFR 62.16714(b) and (c); or
(ii) Determine a site-specific NMOC concentration and recalculate
the NMOC emission rate using the Tier 2 procedures provided in
40 CFR 62.16718(a)(3) or;
(iii) Determine a site-specific methane generation rate constant
and recalculate the NMOC emission rate using the Tier 3
procedures provided in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(4);
(c) Tier 2. The permittee shall determine the site-specific NMOC
concentration using the following sampling procedure. The permittee shall
install at least two sample probes per hectare, evenly distributed over the
landfill surface that has retained waste for at least 2 years. If the landfill is
larger than 25 hectares in area, only 50 samples are required. The probes
should be evenly distributed across the sample area. The sample probes
should be located to avoid known areas of nondegradable solid waste. The
permittee shall collect and analyze one sample of landfill gas from each
probe to determine the NMOC concentration using EPA Method 25 or
25C of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60. Taking composite samples from
different probes into a single cylinder is allowed; however, equal sample
volumes must be taken from each probe. For each composite, the sampling
rate, collection times, beginning and ending cylinder vacuums, or
alternative volume measurements shall be recorded to verify that
composite volumes are equal. Composite sample volumes should not be
13
less than one liter unless evidence can be provided to substantiate the
accuracy of smaller volumes.
Terminate compositing before the cylinder approaches ambient pressure
where measurement accuracy diminishes. If more than the required
number of samples is taken, all samples shall be used in the analysis. The
permittee shall divide the NMOC concentration from EPA Method 25 or
25C of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60 by 6 to convert from CNMOC as
carbon to CNMOC as hexane. If the landfill has an active or passive gas
removal system in place, EPA Method 25 or 25C samples may be
collected from these systems instead of surface probes provided the
removal system can be shown to provide sampling as representative as the
two sampling probes per hectare requirement. For active collection
systems, samples may be collected from the common header pipe. The
sample location on the common header pipe shall be before any gas
moving, condensate removal, or treatment system equipment. For active
collection systems, a minimum of three samples shall be collected from
the header pipe.
(1) Within 60 days after the date of determining the NMOC concentration
and corresponding NMOC emission rate, the permittee shall submit
the results according to 40 CFR 62.16724(j)(2).
(2) The permittee shall recalculate the NMOC mass emission rate using
Equation 1 or 2 as provided in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(1)(i) or (ii) using
the average site-specific NMOC concentration from the collected
samples instead of the default value provided in 40 CFR
62.16718(a)(1)
(3) If the resulting NMOC mass emission rate is less than 34
megagrams per year, then the permittee shall submit a periodic
estimate of NMOC emissions in an NMOC emission rate report
according to 40 CFR 62.16724(c) and shall recalculate the NMOC
mass emission rate annually as required in 40 CFR 62.16714(e).
The site-specific NMOC concentration must be retested every 5
years using the methods specified in 40 CFR 62.16718.
(4) If the NMOC mass emission rate as calculated using the Tier 2
site-specific NMOC concentration is equal to or greater than 34
megagrams per year, the permittee shall either:
(i) Submit a gas collection and control system design plan within 1
year as specified in 40 CFR 62.16724(d) and install and operate
a gas collection and control system within 30 months according
to 40 CFR 62.16714(b) and (c);
(ii) Determine a site-specific methane generation rate constant and
recalculate the NMOC emission rate using the site-specific
methane generation rate using the Tier 3 procedures specified in
40 CFR 62.16718(a)(4); or
14
(iii) Conduct a surface emission monitoring (SEM)
demonstrating using the Tier 4 procedures specified in 40
CFR 62.16718(a)(6).
(5) Tier 3. The site specific methane generation rate constant shall be
determined using the procedures provided in Method 2E of appendix
A of 40 CFR part 60. The permittee shall estimate the NMOC mass
emission rate using Equation 1 or Equation 2 in 40 CFR
62.16718(a)(1)(i) or (ii) and using a site specific methane generation
rate constant, and the site-specific NMOC concentration as
determined in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(3) instead of the default values
provided in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(1). The permittee shall compare the
resulting NMOC mass emission rate to the standard of 34
megagrams per year. If the NMOC mass emission rate as calculated
using the Tier 2 site-specific NMOC concentration and Tier 3 site-
specific methane generation rate is equal to or greater than 34
megagrams per year, the permittee shall either:
(i) Submit a gas collection and control system design plan within 1
year as specified in 40 CFR 62.16724(d) and install and operate
a gas collection and control system within 30 months according
to 40 CFR 62.16714(b) and (c); or
(ii) Conduct a SEM demonstration using the Tier 4 procedures
specified in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(6).
(6) If the NMOC mass emission rate is less than 34 megagrams per year,
then the permittee shall recalculate the NMOC mass emission rate
annually using Equation 1 or Equation 2 in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(1)
and using the site-specific Tier 2 NMOC concentration and Tier 3
methane generation rate constant and submit a periodic NMOC
emission rate report as provided in 40 CFR 62.16724(c). The
calculation of the methane generation rate constant is performed only
once, and the value obtained from this test shall be used in all
subsequent annual NMOC emission rate calculations.
(d) The permittee may use other methods to determine the NMOC
concentration or a site- specific methane generation rate constant as an
alternative to the methods required in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(3) and (4) if the
method has been approved by the EPA Administrator.
(e) Tier 4. Demonstrate that surface methane emissions are below 500 parts
per million. Surface emission monitoring (SEM) shall be conducted on a
quarterly basis using the following procedures. Tier 4 is allowed only if the
permittee can demonstrate that NMOC emissions are greater than or equal
to 34 megagrams per year but less than 50 megagrams per year using Tier
1 or Tier 2. If both Tier 1 and Tier 2 indicate NMOC emissions are 50
megagrams per year or greater, then Tier 4 cannot be used. In addition, the
landfill must meet the criteria in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(6)(viii).
15
(1) Measure surface concentrations of methane along the entire perimeter
of the landfill and along a pattern that traverses the landfill at no
more than 30-meter intervals using an organic vapor analyzer, flame
ionization detector, or other portable monitor meeting the
specifications provided in 40 CFR 62.16720(d).
(2) The background concentration shall be determined by moving the
probe inlet upwind and downwind at least 30 meters from the waste
mass boundary of the landfill.
(3) Surface emission monitoring (SEM) shall be performed in accordance
with section 8.3.1 of EPA Method 21 of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part
60, except that the probe inlet must be placed no more than 5
centimeters above the landfill surface; the constant measurement of
distance above the surface should be based on a mechanical device
such as a wheel on a pole.
(i) The permittee shall use a wind barrier, similar to a funnel, when
onsite average wind speed exceeds 4 miles per hour or 2 meters
per second or gust exceeding 10 miles per hour. Average on-site
wind speed must also be determined in an open area at 5- minute
intervals using an on-site anemometer with a continuous
recorder and data logger for the entire duration of the monitoring
event. The wind barrier must surround the SEM monitor, and
must be placed on the ground, to ensure wind turbulence is
blocked. The SEM cannot be conducted if average wind speed
exceeds 25 miles per hour. Landfill surface areas where visual
observations indicate elevated concentrations of landfill gas,
such as distressed vegetation and cracks or seeps in the cover,
and all cover penetrations shall also be monitored using a device
meeting the specifications provided in 40 CFR 62.16720(d).
(4) A permittee seeking to comply with the Tier 4 provision in 40 CFR
62.16718(a)(6) must maintain records of surface emission monitoring
as provided in 40 CFR 62.16726(g) and submit a Tier 4 surface
emission report as provided in 40 CFR 62.16724(d)(4)(iii).
(5) If there is any measured concentration of methane of 500 parts per
million or greater from the surface of the landfill, the permittee must
submit a gas collection and control system design plan within 1 year
of the first measured concentration of methane of 500 parts per million
or greater from the surface of the landfill according to 40 CFR
62.16724(d) and install and operate a gas collection and control
system according to 40 CFR 62.16714(b) and (c) within 30 months of
the most recent NMOC emission rate report in which the NMOC
emission rate equals or exceeds 34 megagrams per year based on Tier
2.
16
(6) If after four consecutive quarterly monitoring periods at a landfill,
other than a closed landfill, there is no measured concentration of
methane of 500 parts per million or greater from the surface of the
landfill, the permittee must continue quarterly surface emission
monitoring using the methods specified in this monitoring section.
(7) If after four consecutive quarterly monitoring periods at a closed
landfill there is no measured concentration of methane of 500 parts per
million or greater from the surface of the landfill, the permittee shall
conduct annual surface emission monitoring using the methods
specified in this monitoring section.
(8) If a landfill has installed and operates a collection and control system
that is not required by this subpart, then the collection and control
system must meet the following criteria:
(i) The gas collection and control system must have operated for
at least 6,570 out of 8,760 hours preceding the Tier 4 SEM
demonstration.
(ii) During the Tier 4 SEM demonstration, the gas collection and
control system must operate as it normally would to collect and
control as much landfill gas as possible.

(1) The NMOC emission rate report shall contain an annual or 5-year
estimate of the NMOC emission rate calculated using the formula and
procedures provided in 40 CFR 62.16718(a) or (b), as applicable.
(2) The NMOC emission rate report shall include all the data,
calculations, sample reports and measurements used to estimate the
annual or 5-year emission.
(3) If the estimated NMOC emission rate as reported in the annual report
to the Director is less than 34 megagrams per year in each of the next
5 consecutive years, the permittee may elect to submit, following the
procedure specified in 40 CFR 62.16724(j)(2), an estimate of the
NMOC emission rate for the next 5-year period in lieu of the annual
report. This estimate shall include the current amount of solid waste-
in-place and the estimated waste acceptance rate for each year of the
5 years for which an NMOC emission rate is estimated. All data and
calculations upon which this estimate is based shall be provided to
the Director. This estimate shall be revised at least once every 5
years. If the actual waste acceptance rate exceeds the estimated waste
acceptance rate in any year reported in the 5-year estimate, a revised
5-year estimate shall be submitted to the Director. The revised
estimate shall cover the 5-year period beginning with the year in
which the actual waste acceptance rate exceeded the estimated waste
acceptance rate.
(4) The permittee subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 62 Subpart
OOO is exempted from the requirements to submit an NMOC
emission rate report, after installing a collection and control system
that complies with 40 CFR 62.16714(b) and (c), during such time as
the collection and control system is in operation and in compliance
with 40 CFR 62.16716 and 40 CFR 62.16720.
(b) The permittee of an MSW landfill with a design capacity equal to or
greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters shall
submit a copy of the collection and control system design plan cover
page that contains the engineer’s seal to the Director within 1 year of the
first NMOC emission rate report in which the NMOC emission rate

19
(1) If the permittee elects to recalculate the NMOC emission rate after
Tier 2 NMOC sampling and analysis as provided in 40 CFR
62.16718(a)(3) and the resulting rate is less than 34 megagrams per
year, annual periodic reporting shall be resumed, using the Tier 2
determined site-specific NMOC concentration, until the calculated
NMOC is equal to or greater than 34 megagrams per year or the
landfill is closed. The revised NMOC emission rate report, with the
recalculated NMOC emission rate based on NMOC sampling and
analysis, must be submitted, following the procedures in 40 CFR
62.16724(j)(2), within 180 days of the first calculated exceedance of
34 megagrams per year.
(2) If the permittee elects to recalculate the NMOC emission rate after
determining a site- specific methane generation rate constant k, as
provided in Tier 3 in 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(4), and the resulting NMOC
emission rate is less than 34 megagrams per year, annual periodic
reporting shall be resumed. The resulting site-specific methane
generation rate constant k shall be used in the NMOC emission rate
calculation until such time as the emissions rate calculation results in
an exceedance. The revised NMOC emission rate report based on the
provisions of 40 CFR 62.16718(a)(4) and the resulting site-specific
methane generation rate constant k shall be submitted, following the
procedure specified in 40 CFR 62.16724(j)(2), to the Director within 1
year of the first calculated NMOC emission rate equaling or exceeding
34 megagrams per year.
(3) If the permittee elects to demonstrate that site-specific surface
methane emissions are below 500 parts-per-million methane, based on

submit annually a Tier 4 surface emissions report as specified in this
paragraph following the procedure specified in 40 CFR 62.16724(j)(2)
until a surface emissions reading of 500 parts-per-million methane or
greater is found. If the Tier 4 surface emissions report shows no
surface emissions readings of 500 parts-per-million methane or greater
for four consecutive quarters at a closed landfill, then the permittee
may reduce Tier 4 monitoring from a quarterly to an annual frequency.
The Director may request such additional information as may be
necessary to verify the reported instantaneous surface emission
readings. The Tier 4 surface emissions report shall clearly identify the
location, date and time (to the nearest second), average wind speeds
including wind gusts, and reading (in parts-per-million) of any value
500 parts-per- million methane or greater, other than non-repeatable,
momentary readings. For location, the permittee shall determine the
latitude and longitude coordinates using an instrument with an
accuracy of at least 4 meters. The coordinates shall be in decimal
degrees with at least five decimal places. The Tier 4 surface emission
