002 Except as provided in 003 below, standards of performance are applicable only to those new, modified, or reconstructed facilities specified or defined as an "affected facility".

003 Emission Limits for Existing Stationary Sources. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these regulations, the following emission limits are applicable to existing sources as follows:
003.01 Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The designated facility to which these limits apply is each existing MSW landfill for which construction, reconstruction or modification was commenced before May 30, 1991, which has accepted waste at any time since November 8, 1987, or has additional capacity available for future waste deposition.
003.01A Each designated facility having an aggregate design capacity of 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 million cubic meters or more will calculate and report nonmethane organic compound (NMOC) emissions as provided for new MSW landfills under Section 001.74 of this Chapter beginning 90 days after September 8, 1997.

003.01B Each designated facility having an NMOC emission rate of 50 megagrams per year or more will design, install and operate a landfill gas collection and control system (LGCCS) as provided for new MSW landfills under Section 001.74 of this Chapter. An alternate design plan may be approved by the Department provided the source demonstrates that:
003.01B1 Meeting the requirements of Section 001.74 of this Chapter will result in unreasonable costs of control due to plant age, location, or basic process design;

003.01B2 It will be physically impossible to install the necessary control equipment needed to meet the requirements of Section 001.74 of this Chapter; or

003.01B3 Other factors specific to the facility will make application of a less stringent standard significantly more reasonable than meeting the requirements of Section 001.74 of this Chapter.

003.01C Each designated facility subject to the control provisions of 003.01B above will submit the LGCCS design for Department review within 1 year of the first report in which NMOC emissions equal or exceed 50 megagrams per year, and will install the approved LGCCS within 30 months of that report, except as provided under Section 001.74 of this Chapter.

003.01D Each designated facility subject to the control provisions of 003.01B above will conduct testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting for the LGCCS as provided for new MSW landfills under Section 001.74 of this Chapter.
003.01D1 If a source receives approval for an alternate design plan under Section 003.01B above the Department may also approve alternate testing and monitoring procedures for the source, provided the source demonstrates that the testing and monitoring requirements in Section 001.74 of this Chapter are not practical for the alternate design and that the alternate procedures are adequate to determine compliance with the approved alternate design plan.
