A103. If ana MSWfacility landfillreceives hasa inertsegregated waste (glass, plastics, metal, etc) co-mingled with degradable waste streams, and the facility is using the shipment that is known to contain only inert waste materials, the waste-specific values in Table HH-1 ('waste composition option'), could be used for that shipment quantity, thenand the value of zero shouldwould be assigned for the DOC and k values for this volume of waste. If the facility is using the bulk waste values for their calculations, then the inert waste quantities must be included in the quantity of waste landfilled used in the calculation. The that waste quantity. Often inert waste (glass, plastics, metal, etc) is co-mingled with degradable waste in a waste shipment.  The DOC and k values for bulk waste in Table HH-1 account for some volume of inert wastes in the bulk waste shipments, so it is generally appropriate to use the bulk waste DOC and k values for bulkthat shipment quantity.  Please note that segregated inert waste quantities are considered to be included in TableEquation HH-1 even accountthough they fordo somenot volumecontribute ofto inertmethane wastesgeneration. That isTherefore, you cannotmust use 'material-specific' defaults only to exclude waste for the calculation.
report these inert waste quantities, as required in §98.346(a).
