PERMITTING OF LANDFILL BIOREACTOR OPERATIONS: TEN YEARS AFTER THE RD&D RULE
U.S. EPA, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Cincinnati, OH.
EPA 600-R-14-335, 60 pp, 2014
To formally promote innovative landfill technologies, including adoption of alternative cover systems and bioreactor technology, EPA published the Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) Permit Rule on March 22, 2004. The Rule allows Subtitle D landfills a variance option for adding bulk free liquids if a demonstration can be made that such a variance will not increase risk to human health and the environment relative to standard permit conditions for the landfill. Prior to promulgation of the Rule, about 20 full-scale bioreactor landfill projects were underway in North America, including one in Canada. By March 2014, 40 bioreactor projects were reported. Wisconsin features the largest number of projects at 13. Only 16 of 50 states had adopted the Rule in 2014, with a further seven reportedly in the process of Rule adoption. http://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=P100NDQZ.TXT
