where:
MNMOC is the mass emission rate of NMOC in megagrams per year
QLFG is the flow rate of landfill gas in cubic meters per minute
CNMOC is the NMOC concentration in parts per million by volume as hexane
NR 440.75(5)(b)2.2. The flow rate of landfill gas, QLFG, shall be determined by measuring the total landfill gas flow rate at the common header pipe that leads to the control device using a gas flow measuring device calibrated according to the provisions of section 4 of Method 2E in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (1).
NR 440.75(5)(b)3.3. The average NMOC concentration, CNMOC, shall be determined by collecting and analyzing landfill gas sampled from the common header pipe before the gas moving or condensate removal equipment using the procedures in Method 25C or Method 18 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (1). If using Method 18, the minimum list of compounds to be tested shall be those published in the most recent Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, AP-42, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (2) (i) 2. The sample location on the common header pipe shall be before any condensate removal or other gas refining units. The landfill owner or operator shall divide the NMOC concentration from Method 25C by 6 to convert from CNMOC as carbon to CNMOC as hexane.
NR 440.75(5)(b)4.4. The owner or operator may use another method to determine landfill gas flow rate and NMOC concentration if the method has been approved by the department.
NR 440.75(5)(c)(c) When calculating emissions for purposes of prevention of significant deterioration, the owner or operator of each MSW landfill subject to the provisions of this section shall estimate the NMOC emission rate for comparison to the major source and significance levels in s. NR 405.02 using the Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, AP-42, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (2) (i) 2., or other measurement procedures approved by the department.
NR 440.75(5)(d)(d) For the performance test required in sub. (3) (b) 2. c. 2), Method 18, 25 or 25C in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (1), shall be used to determine compliance with the 98% by weight reduction efficiency or the 20 ppmv outlet concentration level, unless another method to demonstrate compliance has been approved by the department as provided by sub. (3) (b) 2. a. 2). Method 3 or 3A, in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (1), shall be used to determine oxygen for correcting the NMOC concentration as hexane to 3%. In cases where the outlet concentration is less than 50 ppm NMOC as carbon (8 ppm NMOC as hexane), Method 25A shall be used in place of Method 25. If Method 18 is used, the minimum list of compounds to be tested shall be those published in the Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, AP-42, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (2) (i) 2. The following equation shall be used to calculate efficiency:

NR 440.75(6)(6)Compliance provisions.
NR 440.75(6)(a)(a) Except as provided in sub. (3) (b) 2. a. 2), the following specified methods shall be used to determine whether the gas collection system is in compliance with sub. (3) (b) 2. b.:
NR 440.75(6)(a)1.1. For the purpose of calculating the maximum expected gas generation flow rate from the landfill to determine compliance with sub. (3) (b) 2. b. 1) a), one of the equations in this subdivision shall be used. The k and Lo kinetic factors shall be those published in the Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, AP-42, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (2) (i) 2., or other site specific values demonstrated to be appropriate and approved by the department. If k has been determined as specified in sub. (5) (a) 4., the value of k determined from the test shall be used. A value of no more than 15 years shall be used for the intended use period of the gas mover equipment. The active life of the landfill is the age of the landfill plus the estimated number of years until closure. The equations are as follows:

t is the age of the landfill at equipment installation plus the time the owner or operator intends to use the gas mover equipment or active life of the landfill, whichever is less. If the equipment is installed after closure, t is the age of the landfill at installation in years.
C is the time since closure in years. For an active landfill c = 0 and e-kc = 1.
