Intent:

Reduce atmospheric emissions associated with the disposal of solid waste and promote renewable and low-carbon intensity alternatives to non-renewable transportation fuels

Requirements:

Demonstrate, on a percentage basis, the use of renewable or low-emission fuels in the on-site vehicles. The percentage of alternative fuel use can be determined on the basis of either the fraction of the vehicle fleet or the fraction of annual miles traveled.

Tier 1: 30 percent or more of rolling stock or other onsite fossil fuel powered process equipment uses alternative fuels. Can be evaluated by percentage of equipment or percentage of utilization.

Tier 2: 60 percent or more of rolling stock or other onsite fossil fuel powered process equipment uses alternative fuels. Can be evaluated by percentage of equipment or percentage of utilization.

• Direct or indirect (e.g. LFG biogas co-generated electricity) utilization of landfill gas (LFG) or anaerobic digester gas (biogas) for vehicles counts as 1.5X other types of alternative fueled vehicles.

Potential Strategies

• Utilize landfill methane or natural gas
• Utilize natural gas
• Digester methane as alternative fuel 
• Solar Powered
• Diesel Hybrids
• MRF Energy consumption
• Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
  • Prevention and/or mitigation of compost emissions
  • Landfill Emission Intensity
