Part 5.2—Solid waste disposal on land

Division 5.2.1—Preliminary

5.2  Application
 (1) This Part applies to emissions released from:
 (a) the decomposition of organic material from:
 (i) solid waste disposal in a landfill; or
 (ii) the biological treatment of solid waste at a landfill or at a facility elsewhere; and
 (b) flaring of landfill gas.
 (2) This Part does not apply to solid waste disposal in a landfill unless:
 (a) the landfill was open for the acceptance of waste on and after 1 July 2012; and
 (b) during a year, the landfill emits more than 10 000 tonnes of CO2‑e from solid waste disposal in the landfill.
 (3) This Part does not apply to the biological treatment of solid waste at a facility (whether at a landfill or at a facility elsewhere) unless, during a year, the facility emits more than 10 000 tonnes of CO2‑e from the biological treatment of solid waste at the facility.

5.3  Available methods
 (1) For the purposes of this Part, subject to section 1.18, for estimating emissions released from the operation of a facility (including a facility that is a landfill) during a year:
 (a) subject to paragraphs (c) and (d), one of the following methods must be used for emissions of methane from a landfill (other than from flaring of methane):
 (i) method 1 under section 5.4;
 (ii) method 2 under section 5.15;
 (iii) method 3 under section 5.18; and
 (b) one of the following methods must be used for emissions for each gas type released as a result of methane flared from the operation of a landfill:
 (i)  method 1 under section 5.19;
 (ii) method 2 under section 5.20;
 (iii) method 3 under section 5.21; and
 (c) one of the following methods must be used for emissions from the biological treatment of solid waste at the facility by an enclosed composting activity:
 (i) method 1 under section 5.22;
 (ii) method 4 under section 5.22AA; and
 (d) method 1 under section 5.22 must be used for emissions from the biological treatment of solid waste at the facility by a composting activity that is not an enclosed composting activity.
 (2) Under paragraph (1)(b), the same method must be used for estimating emissions of each gas type.
 (3) For incidental emissions another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.
Note: There is no method 4 for paragraphs (a) and (b). It is proposed that a method 4 will be developed in the future.
 (4) If required, Division 5.2.7 is to be used to estimate legacy emissions.
 Note: Division 5.2.7 will not be required unless
