The proposed amendments to subpart HH include the addition of Table HH-4 with oxidation fractions. There is a typo in the header of the second column; should be oxidation fraction, not oxidation raction Also, footnote a to Table HH-4 states that the methane flux rate is the mass flow rate of methane per unit area at the bottom of the surface soil prior to any oxidation. What if there is no soil cover (i.e., only a synthetic cover is used)? Shouldn't the oxidation fraction in that case be 0?
