&EPA United States Office of Air and Environmental Protection Radiation (6202J) Agency EPA 430-K-99-005 January 1999 Landfill Gas-to-Energy Project Opportunities LANDFILL METHANE OUTREACH PROGRAM Landfill Profiles for the State of Colorado ------- EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program The EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program, a key component of the United State's Climate Change OLmraCTmoGMM Action Plan> encourages the use of landfill gas (LFG) as an energy resource. EPA assists utilities, municipal and private landfill owners and operators, tribes, and state agencies in reducing methane emissions from landfills through the development of profitable landfill energy recovery projects. Methane captured from landfills can be transformed into a cost-effective fuel source for electricity, heat, boiler and vehicular fuel, or sale to a pipeline. EPA estimates there are approximately 200 landfill methane recovery projects in the U.S. and that up to 750 landfills could install economically viable landfill energy projects. The Landfill Methane Outreach Program includes five important components: the State Ally, Energy Ally, Industry Ally, Community Partner, and Endorser programs. EPA establishes separate alliances with state agencies, energy providers (including investor-owned, municipal and other public power utilities and cooperatives), key trade and public sector associations, members of the landfill gas development industry (including developers, engineers, equipment vendors, and others) and local communities, municipalities and landfill owner/operators through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). By signing the MOU, each Ally/Partner acknowledges a shared commitment to the promotion of landfill gas-to-energy recovery at solid waste landfills, recognizes that the widespread use of landfill gas will reduce emissions of methane and other gases, and commits to undertake activities to enhance development of this resource. In return, EPA agrees to provide landfill gas-to-energy project assistance and public recognition of the Allies' and Partners' participation in the program. ------- Introduction Since 1994 the U.S. EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) has participated in an ongoing effort to gather information on Municipal Solid Waste landfills (MSW). A key component of the LMOP is to provide MSW landfill owners and operators, project developers, utilities, and other potential project participants with information on MSW landfills that may offer attractive energy development opportunities. This document presents state specific landfill information, hereinafter referred to as the landfill profiles. These profiles are useful to evaluate the potential for developing landfill gas-to- energy projects (LFGTE). EPA assembled this information from state and local sources as well as various national solid waste publications, landfill owners and operators, and project developers. The EPA has prepared a separate document to describe the methodology used to develop the state- specific landfill profiles and estimate the benefits of using LFGTE as an energy source. The document, Landfill Gas-to-Energy Project Opportunities, Background Information on Landfill Profiles, contains background information on gas collection and use, describes the data fields according to the five sections listed on the landfill profiles, and where applicable, illustrates calculations and default values used to derive estimates. EPA strongly recommends that users read the document prior to using the landfill profiles. Users can obtain the document by calling the LMOP hotline at 1-888-STAR-YES. Data Sources EPA-ORD Landfill Gas Utilization-Survey (Thorneloe, 1997) Directory and Atlas of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities (SWA, 1994) Implementation Guide for Landfill Gas Recovery Projects in the Northeast (SCS, 1994) Landfill Gas-to-Energy 1994-1995 Activity Report (SWT, 1994) Methane Recovery from Landfill Yearbook (GAA, 1994) Project developers, landfill owners, and operators State and local records Survey of Landfill Gas Generation Potential (EPRI, 1992) U.S. Landfill Directory (SWANA, 1992) Landfill Classification To facilitate the use of available landfill information, EPA has categorized the landfills into five categories: Current Project,1 Candidate Project, Shutdown, Other, and Unknown waste-in-place (WIP). These categories are based on the status of the landfill's LFGTE project(s) and WIP. The generation of methane is a function of many factors, the most critical being the amount of waste-in-place and the number of years the waste has been in the landfill. Peak methane generation occurs soon after closure; therefore, the longer the landfill has been closed, the less attractive it becomes for methane recovery. Based on the general timing of peak methane generation, EPA assumes that landfills that ceased accepting waste prior to 1993 have a low probability of generating enough methane to make a gas recovery project economical. Consequently, landfills need to be operating in 1993 to be considered as having a Candidate Project. Landfill Categorizes Current Project: • Landfill with operational LFGTE project or landfill with LFGTE project under construction. Candidate Project: • Landfill with a potential or planned LFGTE utilization project; or • Landfill is currently operating or closed after 1993; and has more than 1,000,000 tons of municipal solid waste-in- place.2 Shutdown: • Landfill with shutdown LFGTE project. Other: • Landfill has less than 1,000,000 tons of municipal solid waste-in-place with no'current or planned LFGTE project. Unknown WIP: • Landfill with insufficient data to determine the waste-in- place. State Summary State-specific landfill profile information is summarized in three exhibits. Exhibit 1 presents a summary of the state-specific potential for LFG utilization energy by landfill category. Exhibit 2 summarizes the emissions avoided by fossil fuel displacement for electricity generation and direct use projects. Exhibit 3 presents an index of the state- specific MSW landfills, referenced by category, landfill name and general characteristics. 1 Current projects illustrate the wide range of successful project development options. 2 By modeling the relationship between WIP and methane generation, a cut-off of 1,000,000 tons of WIP was established; landfills having at least 1,000,000 tons of WIP are considered candidate landfills.
