Plan Review Approach: Landfill Gas Monitoring Program

Under California Code of Regulations, Title 27 (27 CCR), Division 2, Subdivision 1, Chapter 3, Subchapter 4, Article 6, sections 20917 et seq., CalRecycle requires monitoring of landfill gas (LFG) to determine if LFG is migrating beyond the permitted facility boundary.

The law requires operators of active landfills to submit LFG program plans that demonstrate compliance with the monitoring criteria for review and approval.
