Alternatively, landfills that use leachate recirculation can elect to use the k value of 0.098 rather than calculating the recirculated leachate rate.\nb Use the lesser value when precipitation plus recirculated leachate is less than 20 inches/year. Use the greater value when precipitation plus recirculated leachate is greater than 40 inches/year. Use the average of the range of values when precipitation plus recirculated leachate is 20 to 40 inches/year (inclusive). Alternatively, landfills that use leachate recirculation can elect to use the greater value rather than calculating the recirculated leachate rate.\nc Use the lesser value when the potential evapotranspiration rate exceeds the mean annual precipitation rate plus recirculated leachate. Use the greater value when the potential evapotranspiration rate does not exceed the mean annual precipitation rate plus recirculated leachate. Alternatively, landfills that use leachate recirculation can elect to use the greater value rather than assessing the potential evapotranspiration rate or recirculated leachate rate.","path":["Title 40—Protection of Environment","CHAPTER I—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","SUBCHAPTER C—AIR PROGRAMS","PART 98—MANDATORY GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING","Subpart HH—Municipal Solid Waste Landfills"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-40.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:04Z","sha256":"382dc3ddfd2e482639b4f3761cbb2dad128374019840eae9621928dd657fb372","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/40-cfr-98.348","next":"us/40-cfr-table-hh-2-to-subpart-hh-of-part-98"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
