3. What is an Affected Source?
 An
affected source is the entire MSW landfill in a contiguous geographical space
where household waste is placed in or on the land and consists of one or more
cells that are under common ownership or control. The facility may receive household
waste as well as other types of Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D waste. The affected source
may be operated as a conventional landfill, or it may be operated completely
or partially as a bioreactor. To be an affected source, the landfill must have
accepted waste since November 8, 1987, or have additional capacity for waste
deposition, and must be either: 
(1) A major source of HAP;
(2) Placed with a major source of HAP;
(3) An area source with a design capacity greater than or equal
to 2.5 million Mg and 2.5 million m3, and with estimated
uncontrolled NMOC emissions equal to or greater than 50 Mg/yr;
or
(4) An active area source landfill with a design capacity greater
than or equal to 2.5 million Mg and 2.5 million m3 that
operates an anaerobic
bioreactor (without oxygen), as defined in the final rule.
The bioreactor provisions do not apply to closed landfills.
