Requires owners and operators of certain landfills to control and monitor landfill gas emissions.
This bill requires owners and operators of certain sanitary landfills (those accepting waste or closing after its effective date) to control and monitor methane emissions. Key provisions include installing gas collection systems meeting specific standards, conducting quarterly methane monitoring, ensuring emissions stay below 500 ppm at any single location or 25 ppm average across the site, and submitting annual methane estimates to the Department of Environmental Protection. Landfills must obtain required permits and maintain records, with violations treated as offenses under New Jersey's Solid Waste Management Act, subject to civil penalties. The requirements take effect 24 months after enactment.
