Air Quality and Landfill Gas Testing
Energy Power Partners (EPP)
Epp owns and operates many landfill sites that collect landfill gas and burn it in engines to generate
electricity. TRC has tested both the landfill gas fueling the engines and the emissions generated by the
engines. In addition to the engines these sites also operate flares as emission controls if the engines fail.
Some of the EPP landfill sites that TRC has worked at include:
NH - Nashua
VT - Moretown
PA — Blue Ridge and Cumberland County Landfill
NJ — Vineland and Pennsauken
Fortistar Methane Group (FMG)
Fortistar owns and operates many closed landfills and specializes in renewable power. Fortistar uses the
landfill gas to fuel both engines and turbines to generate electricity. They have also converted many
landfills to solar farms. TRC has tested the landfill gas and emissions from the engines and turbines.
Some of the FMG facilities that TRC has worked at include:
MA — Taunton, Halifax, New Bedford, Brockton
VA - Richmond
NY — Albany
Casella
Casella is recovering landfill gas so it can be used as an energy resource. Casella and its partners are now
producing roughly 25 megawatts per hour of clean energy at five of the company’s landfills. This clean
energy is enough to power approximately 25,000 homes and results in substantial reductions in greenhouse
gas emissions. To capture the methane gas before it can escape to the air, a series of wells is connected to a
powerful vacuum which actively pulls it to the power generation plants where it is converted to electricity.
The Casella facility that TRC has worked at is:
NY — Clinton County
