Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills were proposed on May 30, 1991, promulgated on May 12, 1996, and amended on June 16, 1998 (63 FR 32753), February 24, 1999 (64 FR 9262), and April 10, 2000 (65 FR 18909). These standards apply to municipal solid waste landfills that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction on or after May 30, 1991. CAA section 111(b)(1)(B) requires the EPA to "at least every 8 years review and, if appropriate, revise" new source performance standards. In response to this mandate, EPA is proposing a new subpart which will apply to municipal solid waste landfills that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction on or after the date the proposed Subpart XXX is published in the Federal Register. This proposed subpart includes provisions reducing the NMOC emission rate threshold to 40 megagrams per year (Mg/yr) from the current NSPS level of 50 Mg/yr (see 40 CFR part 60 subpart WWW).
