California’s Landfill Methane Rule Proposal Tightens Gas Rules
California released a draft of its updated Landfill Methane Rule on Tuesday. The proposal tightens numerous requirements related to landfill gas collection and control systems, including response times for leaks.
The California Air Resources Board, the agency in charge of the rule, said the changes are in line with state targets intended to drive down methane emissions 40% below 2013 levels by 2030.
