This Air & Waste Management Association specialty conference is the perfect event to provide an important basis for future development and advancements in the air quality modeling field. It will also provide in-person opportunities for stakeholders and regulators to discuss the challenges and techniques to model ever-tightening air quality standards.
The technical program will include an opening plenary session devoted to invited presentations by EPA’s Office Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) Air Quality Modeling Group (AQMG). Multiple sessions will cover key modeling topics, and the popular Town Hall Meeting will include an interactive Q&A format with high-level regulators and stakeholders.
Determining actual fugitive landfill gas/methane emissions from the landfill surface is hard to quantify. Drone methane and surface emission monitoring conducted on the landfill surface can determine methane concentrations at receptor points around the landfill surface. These receptor concentrations can be used to run an air dispersion model in reverse to solve for the emission rate of the entire landfill surface. This method also allows you to determine a more accurate control efficiency of the gas collection and control system at the landfill based on landfill gas/methane flow to the combustion device.

Jeff Leadford, PE, of SCS Engineers, is presenting “Modeling Fugitive Methane Emissions With Drones” – a not to miss session! Jeff puts his years of experience in the air quality field, with a focus on air dispersion modeling, air permitting and GIS together with advanced drone technology and modeling techniques demonstrating the effectiveness of combining them, especially for landfill owners and operators.
