The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE)’s Air Pollution Control Division will propose a rule to the Air Quality Control Commission in early 2025 to reduce methane pollution from municipal solid waste landfills. The division has convened a technical working group to support and inform the rule proposal.
The technical working group will focus on:
- Evaluating methodologies and best practices beyond federal requirements for reducing landfill emissions,
- Assessing enhanced methane monitoring and control requirements for landfills,
- Considering operation and maintenance practices and landfill gas collection and control systems, and
- Streamlining reporting requirements for landfills.
If your state is interested in listening in, the virtual technical meetings are open to all. Registration is required for the following meetings (Mountain Time):
- August 27 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
- September 10 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
- September 26 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
- October 8 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
- October 22 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
- November 5 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Send written comments or questions on the proposal and working group discussions to climatechange@state.co.us. Use the subject line, “Landfill Methane Reduction.”
