We are looking forward to attending the Landfill Methane Measurement Meeting. It was take place on October 29-30, 2024, at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Campus in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
This 2-day meeting is sponsored by the USEPA and will focus on the development of (and benefits associated with) advanced methane monitoring technologies as applied to landfill monitoring.
In recent years, investment in novel sensing technology for the location and remediation of methane leaks in the landfill sector has grown exponentially with the help of significant funding from the private and public sectors, including research conducted by academic institutions. The meeting is designed to highlight the state of these advancing technologies including their ability to detect and quantify methane and to discuss if/how these technologies might fit into a regulatory framework.
Technology developers, regulating agencies, researchers, regulated communities and other stakeholders interested in learning more about emerging methane detection technologies used to monitor and detect landfill methane emissions are encouraged to participate.
Registration is closed.
If you would like to attend this event and were not able to registered before the deadline, please contact, Nan Albaladejo by email () or by phone (703-705-4438) to be registered manually.

Get ready to be part of critical conversations shaping the future of landfill methane monitoring!
Do you have NSPS or EG sites per the new definitions of “new” and “existing”?
Does your EG site have any upcoming planned or permitted expansions, or will it be commencing construction on an expansion permitted after July 17, 2014?
Will you need to submit/resubmit Design Capacity and NMOC reports to establish your sites status as subject to the new NSPS? Over, or under 34 Mg/year of NMOCs?
Are you a candidate for Tier 4? In the closed landfill subcategory?
For EG sites contact the SCS state representative by sending a request to
SCS Engineers will be publishing Pat Sullivan’s Technical Bulletin Summary of Final NSPS/EG Rules for Landfills as soon as it is published in the federal register. Meanwhile, please contact your SCS Project Manager or for answers to your questions or advice. Follow SCS Engineers on your favorite social media site or check our events for new presentations, publications, and webinars explaining the rules in more detail.
