Regulatory Activity Forums (29)

Guidance Document Forums (4)

Elevated temperature landfill (ETLF) conditions have recently occurred at multiple permitted municipal solid waste (or sanitary) landfills in Virginia. These landfills are performing required air and solid waste regulatory monitoring, but some did not respond to impending ETLF conditions when detected. This has resulted in noxious odors, unpermitted discharges of leachate to surface water, and skyrocketing costs beyond available financial assurance. Therefore, DEQ is taking a unified multi-media approach to address landfills with rising temperatures to ensure that ETLF conditions are recognized and addressed. The purpose of this guidance is to ensure early detection of ETLFs through proactive monitoring, to ensure appropriate financial assurance from owner/operators, and to establish appropriate corrective actions to avoid additional negative environmental impacts in Virginia.
