NWRA-logoToday, the National Waste & Recycling Association hosted a webinar concerning the revised NSPS (New Source Performance Standards for Landfills) Rule. EPA is revising the NSPS rules which will be tentatively published in the Fall, 2015. These rule changes may impact the way air emissions from landfills are being managed and is a significant change from 1996 published standards. During this informative session, attendees learned:

  • The specific changes the EPA is revising on NSPS and the impact on air emissions;
  • Tactics for landfill owners/operators to minimize the impact;
  • A better understanding of what the EPA constitutes as landfill gas.
