| 03-88 | National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills | Rule | This action promulgates national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The final rule is applicable to both major and area sources and contains the same requirements as the Emission Guidelines and New Source Performance Standards (EG/NSPS). The final rule adds startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) requirements, adds operating condition deviations for out-of-bounds monitoring parameters, requires timely control of bioreactor landfills, and changes the reporting frequency for one type of report. The final rule fulfills the requirements of section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), which requires the Administrator to regulate emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in section 112(b), and helps implement the Urban Air Toxics Strategy developed under section 112(k) of the CAA. The intent of the standards is to protect the public health by requiring new and existing sources to control emissions of HAP to the level reflecting the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The HAP emitted by MSW landfills include, but are not limited to, vinyl chloride, ethyl benzene, toluene, and benzene. Each of the HAP emitted from MSW landfills can cause adverse health effects provided sufficient exposure. For example, vinyl chloride can adversely affect the central nervous system and has been shown to increase the risk of liver cancer in humans, while benzene is known to cause leukemia in humans. | 2003-01-16 | 2003 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/01/16/03-88/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-municipal-solid-waste-landfills | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-01-16/pdf/03-88.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This action promulgates national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills.
