Q103. How should inert wastes be accounted for in Equation HH-1?

A103. If an MSW landfill has inert waste (glass, plastics, metal, etc) co-mingled with degradable waste streams, and the facility is using the waste-specific values in Table HH-1, then the value of zero should 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 DOC and k values for bulk waste in Table HH-1 account for some volume of inert wastes. That is, you cannot use 'material-specific' defaults only to exclude waste for the calculation.
