The present Regulation enacts the Environmental Management Act. The Regulation applies to landfill sites that accept municipal solid waste for disposal into the landfill site on or after 1 January 2009. For the purpose of the present Regulation "landfill gas" means a mixture of gases generated by the decomposition of municipal solid waste; and “landfill gas management" includes the following: a) managing migration of landfill gas; b) collection of landfill gas; c) storing of landfill gas; d) flaring of landfill gas. Section 9 establishes that the owner or operator of a landfill site must ensure that landfill gas collected at the landfill site is flared in accordance with the guidelines unless the landfill gas is used for a purpose and in a manner that reduces emissions of methane to the atmosphere in an amount equivalent to the reduction that would be achieved by flaring the landfill gas. The text consists of 20 sections as follows: Definitions (1); Application (2); Prescribed class (3); Initial landfill gas generation assessment and report (4); Director may request further assessment (5); Assessment on request of director (6); Landfill gas management facilities design plan (7); Landfill gas management facilities (8); Landfill gas management (9); Notice of emergency shutdown (10); Permanent shutdown of landfill gas management facilities (11); Monitoring and maintaining records (12); Production of records (13); Annual reports (14); Supplementary assessments and reports (15); Exception (16); Additional information (17); Director's acceptance of reports and plans (18); Substituted requirements (19); Application for substituted requirement (20).
