(A) General.
- (i) The owner or lessee of an existing structure built over a CMSWLF unit shall ensure that the concentration of methane gas generated by the structure does not exceed 20% of the lower explosive limit for methane (1.0% by volume methane in air) in facility structures (excluding gas control or recovery system components). Any new enclosed structures shall contain automatic methane gas sensors approved by the commission and designed to trigger an audible alarm if the volumetric concentration of methane in the air is greater than 1.0% (20% LEL).
- (ii) Landfill gas monitoring requirements for a registration under this section may be suspended by the executive director as provided for in §330.957(s)(1)(B) of this title (relating to Technical Requirements of Part A of the Application).
(B) Requirements for Structures Gas Monitoring Plan (SGMP). The owner or lessee shall submit a SGMP, designed by a registered professional engineer, to the commission for review and approval. The SGMP shall ensure detection of the presence of landfill gas entering on-site structures. All design drawings should bear the registered engineer's seal and signature. The SGMP shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
- (i) an analysis of specific site characteristics and potential migration pathways or barriers as set forth in §330.957(s)(2)(A) of this title (relating to Technical Requirements of Part A of the Application);
- (ii) a site drawing, drawn to scale, which indicates the location of all waste disposal areas, existing structures, creeks, and ponds;
(iii) a narrative describing modifications to the existing structures including, but not limited to, the following:
- (I) structural;
- (II) electrical;
- (III) mechanical; and
- (IV) landfill gas monitoring equipment including manufacturer's specification sheets and any gas ventilation or active gas extraction systems if the development utilizes such systems;
- (iv) a detailed implementation schedule for the installation of landfill gas monitoring equipment;
- (v) a sampling and analysis plan as set forth in §330.957(s)(2)(F) of this title (relating to Technical Requirements of Part A of the Application); and
- (vi) a landfill gas analysis as set forth in §330.957(s)(2)(G) of this title (relating to Technical Requirements of Part A of the Application); and
- (6) a safety and evacuation plan describing evacuation procedures and safety measures in the event the methane gas sensors sound the audible alarms.
