Key data point: Flare 391 (McGill) flare temperature averaged 1,520°F across three runs; Flare 392 (Zink) averaged 1,396°F at standard load and 1,479°F at maximum load; all emission parameters met permit limits including NOx 0.04 lb/mmBtu (limit 0.060) and CO 0.02–0.06 lb/mmBtu (limit 0.20).
EGLE staff observed a stack test of two enclosed flares (391 and 392) at Arbor Hills Landfill on December 19, 2019, to verify compliance with NSPS Subpart WWW at increased operating capacities. The test proceeded with three runs after initial startup delays, and investigators documented operating temperatures, flow rates, and landfill gas odors throughout the facility, along with concerns about inconsistent semi-annual gas sampling results requiring resampling.
Key data point: Flare 391 measured at 1500F and 1490F during test runs; Flare 392 measured at 1352F and 1417F; both well above typical flare operating temperatures.

Arbor Hills Landfill is evaluating a permit modification to discharge treated leachate from its closed East facility via NPDES permit. The company is implementing a multi-stage GAC treatment system to remove PFAS (PFOA, PFOS, and other compounds) to levels below water quality standards. EGLE staff provided guidance that daily maximum limits would likely be 12 ng/L for PFOS and 40 ng/L for PFOA, with weekly monitoring requirements.
Key data point: EGLE advised that NPDES permit would include daily maximum limits of 12 ng/L for PFOS and 40 ng/L for PFOA with weekly monitoring, and that the Department considers a well-run multi-stage GAC system capable of meeting PFAS standards without proof of treatment effectiveness.
EGLE conducted a three-day on-site inspection of Arbor Hills Landfill from October 22–24, 2019, in coordination with EPA Region V. The facility was found in non-compliance. Inspectors documented discussions of leachate management challenges, gas collection system upgrades, odor control measures, and subsurface gas migration issues near the northern perimeter.
Key data point: Methane readings as high as 3000 ppm and H2S as high as 0.3 ppm detected above the West haul road in small vents and erosion cracks; well 170R2 found very odorous with top partially dislodged; facility in non-compliance status.
