U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 

Landfill Methane Outreach Program

Endorser Agreement

between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Landfill Methane Outreach

Program (LMOP)

and ________________________________________________________(Organization Name).

LMOP Endorsers support LMOP in principle and encourage their members to promote

LMOP's goal of increasing the development of landfill gas as an energy resource, thereby

reducing emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

LMOP Endorsers and EPA agree that, while this agreement is in effect, either party may

publicize the fact that this endorsement has been made. Upon your acceptance as an

LMOP Endorser, your organization and contact information will be considered publicly

available information. 

LMOP Endorsers and EPA also agree to cooperate on at least one public recognition event

or outreach activity (e.g., newsletter or journal article, conference presentation) per year

to promote the goals of LMOP and the Endorser.

Both EPA and _____________________________________________ (Organization Name)

recognize that this agreement is voluntary, and may be terminated at any time by either

party without notice or penalty. EPA will only release information obtained from the Endorser

without prior authorization from that organization if required to do so under the Freedom of

Information Act, the Agency's regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, or other applicable law. 

The undersigned officials execute this Endorser Agreement on behalf of their parties.
