New Jersey S637 mandates landfill gas emission controls and monitoring for certain landfills.
New Jersey S637 requires owners and operators of sanitary landfill facilities to control and monitor landfill gas emissions. Owners and operators must obtain a permit, install and operate a landfill gas collection and control system, and conduct quarterly surface monitoring of methane levels. The bill sets specific limits on methane emissions and mandates that any flare or energy recovery device used achieves a methane destruction efficiency of at least 99%. Violation of the provisions would be considered a violation of the "Solid Waste Management Act," with penalties up to $50,000 per day.
