ADOPTED 02/11/2022

On page 6, beginning on line 19 of the striking amendment, after "(8)" strike all material through "basis" on line 28 and insert: "The owner or operator of a municipal solid waste landfill must conduct a source test for any gas control device or devices subject to this section using the test methods identified in section 8 of this act and the department's implementing rules adopted pursuant to section 2 of this act. If a gas control device is currently in compliance with source testing requirements as of the effective date of the act, the owner or operator must conduct the source test no less frequently than once every five years. If a gas control device is currently not in compliance with source testing requirements as of the effective date of the act, or if a subsequent source test shows the gas control device is out of compliance, the owner or operator must conduct the source test no less frequently than once per year until two subsequent consecutive tests both show compliance. Upon two subsequent consecutive compliant tests, the owner or operator may return to conducting the source test no less frequently than once every five years"

EFFECT:   Changes the frequency of required source testing, from a requirement that testing be conducted annually with an option for testing every three years, to a requirement that testing be conducted every five years with a requirement that sources with non-compliant test results be retested annually until two subsequent consecutive tests both show compliance.
