Bill > HB3802

This bill amends the Environmental Protection Act by adding new requirements for municipal solid waste landfill gas collection and control systems. Specifically, the bill mandates that landfill owners or operators must implement a gas collection and control system that collects gas from areas where solid waste has been in place for at least one year. The bill requires landfill operators to estimate when their facility will reach federal thresholds for gas collection system installation and then install such a system within 12 months of that estimated date. The requirements are aligned with federal regulations (specifically 40 CFR 60.33c), which aim to manage methane emissions from landfills. By requiring systematic gas collection and control, the bill seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potential environmental and health risks associated with uncontrolled landfill gas release. The goal is to create a more comprehensive and proactive approach to managing gas emissions from municipal solid waste landfills.
