Texas Municipal Solid Waste Focused Investigation For Landfill Gas Checklist

Landfills and waste management facilities often have landfill gases that are emitted including methane gas, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and more. Methanotrophic bacteria process organic matter and generate methane as a waste product. This is an often inevitable part of the waste disposal process at landfills and landfill sites. This app has useful questions that cover subjects such as methane gas concentrations at facility boundaries, notifications to the TCEQ about exceedances, the use of monitoring probes, and more. It is important for the environment, and the community surrounding a landfill or other solid waste management facility that landfill gases be handled appropriately as a part of the waste disposal process. Solid waste facilities work to reduce hazardous waste and improve the safety of disposal procedures, and when done correctly, waste disposal operations can minimize the number of gases that become hazardous substances. This app easily enables users responsible for investigating and inspecting landfill gas generation to comply with requirements and regulations that will help ensure all solid waste facilities are operating safely and effectively. Users can fill out the checklist to identify violations and take corrective action related to landfill gas monitoring.
