To add or modify Subpart HH reporting years summary information for this MSW landfill, press the OPEN button located opposite "Landfill “Landfill Details Reporting Years."

Landfill Details Reporting Years must be populated before other information about the landfill and its emissions can be entered.

Excerpt

The following MSW landfill information is collected for Subpart HH:

  • Indicate if the landfill was open or closed in 2012. A landfill is considered open if it is actively receiving waste in the reporting year. A landfill that closed during the reporting year, but also received waste during the reporting year is considered open for the particular reporting year. A landfill is considered closed if it did not receive waste in the reporting year.
    • If the landfill was open in 2012, indicate the year in which the landfill first started accepting waste for disposal.
    • If the landfill was open in 2012, indicate the year in which the landfill is expected to close.
    • If the landfill was closed prior to and not during 2012, indicate the last year that the landfill accepted waste and the capacity of that landfill.
2012 Waste Disposal Quantity Method

If the landfill was open in 2012, select the method that was used to determine the quantity of waste received at the landfill in the current reporting year for loads other than cars, light duty trucks, and loads that cannot be measured with scales due to physical or operational limitations. Choose from one of the following methods (from §98.343(a)(3)):

  • Used scales to weigh each load before off-loading at the landfill and either used scales to weigh individual loads after off-loading or used a representative tare weight for the weight of the vehicle/container after off-loading at the landfill. According to §98.343(a)(3)(i)(B), the tare weight is determined by weighing no less than five of each type of vehicle or container after it has off-loaded the waste.
  • Used vehicle/container working capacity, for example by using volumetric capacity and waste density measurements, for each container/vehicle used to haul waste to the landfill (§98.343(a)(3)(ii)). The working capacity means the maximum volume of mass of waste that is actually placed in the landfill from an individual or representative container (such as a tank, truck, or roll-off bin) used to convey wastes to the landfill, taking into account that the container may not be able to be 100 percent filled and/or 100 percent emptied for each load.
Note

Per §98.343(a)(3), beginning in the first emissions reporting year, and each year thereafter, waste quantities must be determined using one of the methods listed above. If scales are in place at the landfill, they must be used to determine waste quantities for the first emissions reporting year and each year after.

If you changed methods used for determining the waste disposal quantities during the reporting year, answer the question above by reporting the method used at the end of the reporting year. In addition, provide an explanation as to why you changed methods, for example, scales were installed at your facility mid-year. Please provide this explanation in the Subpart A text box that requests an explanation of changes to calculation methodologies.

A landfill gas collection system means a system of pipes used to collect landfill gas from different locations in the landfill by means of a fan or similar mechanical draft equipment to a single location for treatment or use. A single landfill may have multiple gas collection systems. Landfill gas collection systems do not include "passive" “passive” systems, whereby landfill gas flows naturally to the surface of the landfill where an opening or pipe (vent) is installed to allow for natural gas flow.

If you reported prior to RY2012, the historical waste disposal quantity methods should be automatically populated in the "Landfill Details Historical Years" page, and you will only need to enter data for RY 2012 based on the instructions below. For more on the historical migration of data, see Carry forward of data from previous submissions into RY2012 forms. There are several means by which the quantities of waste disposed of prior to 2012 may have been determined or estimated for purposes of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program: (1) determined using scales; (2) estimated from tipping receipts, other company records, or measured working capacities; or (3) estimated from one of the methods found in Section 98.343(a)(4), i.e., methods #1, 2, and 3 listed below. Reporters must indicate which method(s) was used to determine or estimate historical waste disposal quantities and the range of years in which that method was used.

...

Indicate the method used to estimate all annual waste quantities that were not determined with scales or estimated through tipping receipts, other company records, or measured working capacities. Per §98.343(a)(4), one of the following methods may be used to estimate waste quantities, if none of these methods were used, select "None“None." If all waste quantities were either determined using scales or estimated using tipping receipts, other company records, or measured working capacities, select "None"“None”:

  • Method #1: Assume all prior year's year’s waste disposal quantities are the same as the waste quantity in the first year for which the waste quantities are available.

  • Method #2: Use the estimated population served by the landfill in each year, the values for national average per capita waste generation, and fraction of generated waste disposed of in solid waste dispoal sites (Equation HH-2).
    • If this method is selected, report the population served by the landfill for each year the Equation HH-2 of this subpart is applied.

  • Method #3: Use the landfill capacity or, for operating landfills, the amount of waste-in-place to estimate a constant average waste disposal quantity per Equation HH-3. The amount of waste-in place is the capacity of the landfill used at the end of the year prior to the year when waste disposal data are available. The waste-in-place numbers may be derived from design drawings or engineering estimates.
    • If this method is selected to be the method by which historical waste disposal quantities were estimated, indicate the capacity of the landfill in metric tons.

If one of the above methods was used (i.e., "None" “None” was not selected), indicate the year in which the method started being used and the year in which it stopped being used.

If one of the above methods was used (i.e., "None" “None” was not selected), indicate the reason for which this particular method was selected.
