Illinois HB3802 mandates gas collection and control system requirements for municipal solid waste landfills.

HB3802 amends the Environmental Protection Act to establish specific gas collection and control system requirements for municipal solid waste landfills. Owners or operators must estimate when their landfill will reach federal thresholds, install a gas collection and control system within 12 months of that estimate, and ensure the system operates effectively. The system must draw gas toward control devices and, if it uses a flare, achieve a methane destruction efficiency of at least 99% by weight. The design plan must also account for alternative gas control measures.
