Landfill and Project Information

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

Instructions:

-Please update the data in the following worksheet(s), for the purpose of updating LMOP's landfill and landfill gas energy project database.

-Any data already contained in LMOP's database of landfills and landfill gas energy projects have been inserted into the fields.

-Please update or fill in the fields that have yellow background; the fields with blue background do not require edit.

-A project that has more than one end user and/or has changed in size over time has multiple worksheets; and a landfill that has more than

one project has multiple worksheets - in both cases, the landfill data are listed only once - in the first worksheet for that landfill (in the other

worksheets for that landfill, the rows for the landfill data are hidden).

-If your organization has been involved with additional landfills/projects for which a worksheet is not already included, 

please make as many copies of an existing worksheet as needed to accommodate your other landfills/projects. 

-As you make edits in the worksheet(s), the cells' formatting will change - this quickly shows LMOP what cells have been edited upon the file's return.

-If you consider any of the information requested to be confidential, do not provide that information and fill in "confidential" instead.

Thank you for your assistance!

Landfill and Project Information

Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP)

What is the status of the LFG energy project? - Current project status (Operational, Construction, Shutdown, Candidate, Potential)

Definitions of "Candidate" and "Potential" designations in LMOP database:

On what date did or will the project become operational? - Date project became/is expected to become operational

If the project is shutdown, on what date did it shut down? - Date project shut down

LFG flow to project - Amount of landfill gas flowing to LFG energy project or that will flow to the project when it becomes operational 

Capacity - Capacity for electricity-generating LFG energy projects

Capacity Type - MW capacity type - Estimated, Other, or Unknown

Candidate - A landfill that is accepting waste or has been closed for five years or less, has at least one 

million tons of waste, and does not have an operational or under construction LFG energy project; or is 

designated based on actual interest or planning.

Potential - A landfill that does not meet the candidate definition, whether because of complete or 

incomplete data. However, the landfill could have LFG energy project potential based on site-specific 

needs or if data were complete.

Capacity Type - MW capacity type - Estimated, Other, or Unknown

Capacity Description for Capacity Type of "Other" - Further description of the MW Capacity type if type is 'Other'

Who developed/is developing the project? - Name of project developer organization

The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 5.7 hours per response. 

Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested 

methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Collection 

Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20460.

Include the OMB control number in any correspondence. Do not send the completed form to this address.
