In November 2016, following a fire at the Great Lakes Recycling (GLR) facility at Arbor Hills, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) officials coordinated with Advanced Disposal to establish stormwater pond sampling protocols. The sampling plan included analysis for PFAS compounds using EPA Method 537, as well as conventional water-quality parameters (pH, BOD, TSS, DO) and volatile organic compounds. This document is a FOIA release of internal DEQ email correspondence and a PFAS analysis technical flyer from the contracted lab.
Key data point: No specific measured readings are provided in this document. The document records only the procedural setup for stormwater pond sampling in response to a 2016 fire at the GLR facility, with sampling planned for completion by December 6, 2016, and PFAS analysis via EPA Method 537.

Three ambient monitors at the landfill perimeter measure methane, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, and carbon monoxide every 30 minutes; data was submitted on 5/23/16 and 6/13/16 with some initial calibration issues that were corrected.
Key data point: No significant air quality exceedances reported in first two data submittals (5/23/16, 6/13/16); calibration issues on methane and oxygen monitors have been corrected.

BFI Waste Services conducted an emissions test of the McGill enclosed flare at Arbor Hills Landfill on June 8, 2016, measuring concentrations of non-methane organic compounds (NMOC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). All measured pollutant emission rates passed their respective permit limits under Michigan PTI No. 179-13 and federal 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart WWW standards.
Key data point: NMOC exhaust concentration 1.1 ppmv (limit 20.0 ppmv); CO emission rate 2.29 lb/hr (limit 27.6 lb/hr); NOx emission rate 2.62 lb/hr (limit 20.0 lb/hr); all tests on McGill enclosed flare (EUENCLOSEDFLARE2-S2) June 8, 2016.

EGLE Air Quality Division conducted an observation of EUENCLOSEDFLARE2-S2 performance testing at Arbor Hills Landfill on June 8, 2016, as required by ROP permit and federal NSPS standards. The inspector documented landfill gas odors in the area, operational issues with EUENCLOSEDFLARE1, and concurrent operation of a Utility Flare during testing. The facility's complex piping configuration and vacuum management challenges were noted for further review.
Key data point: Temperature reading 1701°F and 1704°F from EUENCLOSEDFLARE2 control panel (June 8, 2016, 10:00 AM and 12:45 PM); Inspector observed distinct landfill gas odor in sporadic locations on-site; EUENCLOSEDFLARE1 non-operational due to failed startup attempt.
