[Comment: For dates of non-regulatory government publications,
publications of recognized organizations and associations, federal rules, and
federal statutory provisions referenced in this rule, see
the "Incorporation by Reference" section at the end
of this rule
.]
(A)
Terms used but not defined in this chapter have the meaning given them in the
Clean Air Act and in rule
3745-15-01 of the
Administrative Code.
(B) The
following definitions shall apply exclusively to this chapter.
(1) "Active collection system" means a gas
collection system that uses gas mover equipment.
(2) "Active landfill" means a licensed and
permitted landfill in which solid waste is being placed or a landfill that is
planned to accept waste in the future.
(3) "Btu" means British thermal
unit
(4) "Closed landfill" means a
landfill in which solid waste is no longer being placed, and in which no
additional solid wastes will be placed without first filing a notification of
modification in accordance with
40 CFR
60.7(a)(4). Once a
notification of modification has been filed, and additional solid waste is
placed in the landfill, the landfill is no longer closed. .
(5) "Closure" means that point in time when a
landfill becomes a closed landfill.
(6) "Commercial solid waste" means all types
of solid waste generated by stores, offices, restaurants, ware-houses, and
other non-manufacturing activities, excluding residential and industrial
wastes.
(7) "Controlled landfill"
means any landfill at which collection and control systems are required under
this chapter as a result of the nonmethane organic compounds emission rate. The
landfill is considered controlled at the time a collection and control system
design plan is submitted in compliance with paragraph (B)(2)(a) of rule
3745-76-07
of the Administrative Code.
(8)
"Design capacity" means the maximum amount of solid waste a landfill can
accept, as indicated in terms of volume or mass in the most recent permit
issued by the agency responsible for regulating the landfill, plus any in-place
waste not accounted for in the most recent permit. If the owner or operator
chooses to convert the design capacity from volume to mass or from mass to
volume to demonstrate its design capacity is less than 2.5 million megagrams or
2.5 million cubic meters, the calculation must include a site specific density,
which must be recalculated annually.
(9) "Disposal facility" means any contiguous
land and structures, other appurtenances, and improvements on the land used for
the disposal of solid waste.
(10)
"Emission rate cutoff" means the threshold annual emission rate to which a
landfill compares its estimated emission rate to determine if control under the
regulation is required.
(11)
"Enclosed combustor" means an enclosed firebox which maintains a relatively
constant limited peak temperature generally using a limited supply of
combustion air. An enclosed flare is considered an enclosed
combustor.
(12) "Flare" means an
open combustor without enclosure or shroud.
(13) "Gas mover equipment" means the
equipment (i.e., fan, blower, compressor) used to transport landfill gas
through the header system.
(14)
"Household waste" means any solid waste (including garbage, trash, and sanitary
waste in septic tanks) derived from households (including, but not limited to,
single and multiple residences, hotels and motels, bunkhouses, ranger stations,
crew quarters, campgrounds, picnic grounds, and day-use recreation
areas).
(15) "Industrial solid
waste" means solid waste generated by manufacturing or industrial processes
that is not a hazardous waste regulated under Subtitle C of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, 40 CFR Part 264 and 40 CFR Part 265. Such waste
may include, but is not limited to, waste resulting from the following
manufacturing processes: electric power generation; fertilizer/agricultural
chemicals; food and related products/by-products; inorganic chemicals; iron and
steel manufacturing; leather and leather products; non-ferrous metals
manufacturing/foundries; organic chemicals; plastics and resins manufacturing;
pulp and paper industry; rubber and miscellaneous plastic products; stone,
glass, clay, and concrete products; textile manufacturing; transportation
equipment; and water treatment. This definition does not include mining waste
or oil and gas waste.
(16)
"Interior well" means any well or similar collection component located inside
the perimeter of the landfill waste. A perimeter well located outside the
landfilled waste is not an interior well.
(17) "Landfill" means an area of land or an
excavation in which wastes are placed for permanent disposal, and that is not a
land application unit, surface impoundment, injection well, or waste pile as
those terms are defined under
40
CFR 257.2.
(18) "Lateral expansion" means a horizontal
expansion of the waste boundaries of an existing MSW landfill. A lateral
expansion is not a modification unless it results in an increase in the design
capacity of the landfill.
(19)
"Modification" means an increase in the permitted volume design capacity of the
landfill by either horizontal or vertical expansion based on its permitted
design capacity as of May 30, 1991. Modification does not occur until the owner
or operator commences construction on the horizontal or vertical
expansion.
(20) "Municipal solid
waste" is a type of solid waste generated from community, commercial and
agricultural operations, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Solid waste generated by community
operations (including single and multiple-household residences, hotels, motels,
bunkhouses, ranger stations, crew quarters, campgrouds, and day-use recreation
areas;
(b) Solid waste generated by
commercial operations (including stores, offices, restaurants, warehouses, and
other non-manufacturing activities);
(c) Solid waste generated from agricultural
operations (including single-family and commercial farms, greenhouses, and
nurseries);
(d) Sludge from
municipal, commercial, or industrial waste water treatment plants, water
treatment plants, and air pollution control facilities that is co-disposed with
other municipal solid waste in a sanitary landfill facility; and
(e) Fly ash and bottom ash generated from the
incineration of municipal solid waste, provided the fly ash and bottom ash is
not regulated as a hazardous waste.
(21) "Municipal solid waste landfill" or "MSW
landfill" means an entire disposal facility in a contiguous geographical space
where household waste is placed in or on land. An MSW landfill may also receive
other types of RCRA subtitle D wastes (
40
CFR 257.2 ) such as commercial solid waste,
nonhazardous sludge, conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste, and
industrial solid waste. Portions of an MSW landfill may be separated by access
roads. An MSW landfill may be publicly or privately owned. An MSW landfill may
be a new MSW landfill, an existing MSW landfill, or a lateral
expansion.
(22) "Municipal solid
waste landfill emissions" or "MSW landfill emissions" means gas generated by
the decomposition of organic waste deposited in an MSW landfill or derived from
the evolution of organic compounds in the waste.
(23) "NMOC" means nonmethane organic
compounds, as measured according to the provisions of rule
3745-76-09
of the Administrative Code.
(24)
"Nondegradable waste" means any waste that does not decompose through chemical
breakdown or microbiological activity. Examples are, but are not limited to,
concrete, municipal waste combustor ash, and metals.
(25) "Passive collection system" means a gas
collection system that solely uses positive pressure within the landfill to
move the gas rather than using gas mover equipment.
(26) "PSD" means prevention of significant
deterioration, as defined in
40 CFR
52.21, prevention of significant
deterioration of air quality.
(27)
"Sludge" means any solid, semisolid, or liquid waste generated from a municipal
, commercial, or industrial waste-water treatment plant, water supply treatment
plant, or air pollution control facility, exclusive of the treated effluent
from a wastewater treatment plant.
(28) "Solid waste" means any garbage, sludge
from a wastewater treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, or air
pollution control facility and other discarded material, included solid,
liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous material resulting from industrial,
commercial, mining, and agricultural operations, and from community activities,
but does not include solid or dissolved material in domestic sewage, or solid
or dissolved materials in irrigation return flows or industrial discharges that
are point sources subject to permits under the national pollutant discharge
elimination system or the United States nuclear regulatory
commission.
(29) "Sufficient
density" means any number, spacing, and combination of collection system
components, including vertical wells, horizontal collectors, and surface
collectors, necessary to maintain emission and migration control as determined
by measures of performance set forth in this chapter.
(30) "Sufficient extraction rate" means a
rate sufficient to maintain a negative pressure at all wellheads in the
collection system without causing air infiltration, including any wellheads
connected to the system as a result of expansion or excess surface emissions,
