5.14B  Methane correction factor (MCF) for aerobic decomposition
  For paragraph 5.4A(g), the methane correction factor for aerobic decomposition is 1.

5.14C  Fraction by volume generated in landfill gas that is methane (F)
  For paragraph 5.4A(h), the fraction by volume of methane generated in landfill gas is 0.5.

5.14D  Number of months before methane generation at landfill commences
  For paragraph 5.4A(i), the number of months that have ended before methane generation at the landfill commences is 6.
Note: To calculate the value of M, add 7 to the number of months mentioned in section 5.14D. Using the number of months mentioned in section 5.14D, the calculation would be 6 plus 7 and the value of M would be 13.

Division 5.2.3—Method 2—emissions of methane released from landfills

Subdivision 5.2.3.1—methane released from landfills

5.15  Method 2—methane released by landfill (other than from flaring of methane)
 (1) For subparagraph 5.3(1)(a)(ii), method 2 is that the following calculations must be performed:
 (a) calculate the amount of methane emissions released by the landfill during the reporting year, measured in CO2‑e tonnes, using the following equation:

  Ej = ∑z Ejz; and

 (b) calculate the amount of emissions of methane released by the landfill from a sub‑facility zone during the reporting year, measured in CO2‑e tonnes, using the following equation:

  Ejz = [CH4genz – γ(Qcapz+ Qflaredz + Qtrz)]  (1 − OF)

where:
Ej is the emissions of methane released by the landfill during the reporting year, measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Ejz is the emissions of methane released by the landfill from a sub‑facility zone during the reporting year, measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
CH4genz is the estimated quantity of methane in landfill gas generated by the landfill from a sub‑facility zone during the reporting year, worked out in accordance with subsection (2), measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
γ is the factor 6.784  10‑4  GWPmethane converting cubic metres of methane at standard conditions measured to CO2‑e tonnes.
Qcapz is the quantity of methane in landfill gas captured for combustion by the landfill from a sub‑facility zone during the reporting year, measured in cubic metres in accordance with Division 2.3.6.
Qflaredz is the quantity of methane in landfill gas flared by the landfill from a sub‑facility zone during the reporting year, measured in cubic metres in accordance with Division 2.3.6.
Qtrz is the quantity of methane in landfill gas transferred out of the landfill from a sub‑facility zone during the reporting year, measured in cubic metres in accordance with Division 2.3.6.
OF is the oxidation factor (0.1) for near surface methane in the landfill.
∑z is sum for all sub‑facility zones.
 (2) For paragraph (1)(b), CH4genz for each sub‑facility zone must be
