Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule 

The amendment to Rule 1150.1 – Control of Gaseous Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, 

incorporated provisions of the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) landfill rule (CCR Title 17 subchapter 10, 

article 4, subarticle 6, Methane Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills) to include control of methane, a 

greenhouse gas, as part of the previous control requirements for landfill gases, including volatile organic 

compounds. The amendment also helps local landfills more efficiently comply with various emissions reporting 

requirements. In addition, the amendment also lowers the emissions limit for landfill control systems from 50 to 25 

parts per million by volume (ppmv), consistent with the state rule and reflective of current operating data from 

District landfill operators. Finally, the amendment improves enforceability, clarifies operational standards for 

existing landfill control systems and eliminates duplicate recordkeeping and reporting.
