The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Air Operations Permit (0330246-013-AV) and Air Construction Permit (0330246-014-AC) require Perdido Landfill to operate and maintain the gas collection and control system (GCCS) in compliance with 40 CFR 60 New Source Performance Standards Subpart WWW and Subpart XXX. In addition, the facility is subject to 40 CFR 63 Subpart AAAA, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. Collected landfill gas is sent to a landfill gas-to-energy (LFGTE) facility owned and operated by Florida Power & Light (FPL) (formerly Gulf Power). Surplus gas is sent to the blower flare station using a non-assisted, open-utility flare. Currently, GCCS is operated by Escambia County Solid Waste Staff. As the available air space is reduced, conflicts between landfilling operations and maintenance of the GCCS will increase. Close coordination will be required to prevent interruptions of GCCS
