LMOP Becomes a Teenager

Posted By John Trotti Comments

Hard to believe, but this next week—January 11–13—Baltimore MDs Hilton Hotel plays host to the 13th Annual LMOP Conference and Project Expo.

Heading the agenda is a tour of the US Coast Guard Yard LFGTE Project, the result of a successful collaboration between the US Coast Guard Yard, City of Baltimore, and Ameresco Federal Solutions Group. Under a historic intergovernmental sales agreement, Baltimore is providing landfill gas (LFG) to the USCG from the Quarantine Road Landfill, which is located adjacent to the Yard. Under an Energy Savings Performance Contract signed in October 2007, Ameresco constructed a Renewable Energy Center to utilize the LFG to provide electricity and steam to the USCG.

This is followed up from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. by the Grand Opening Reception in the Exhibit Hall. Agenda details for the entire event can be found at www.epa.gov/lmop.

As I’ve said on several occasions in the past, in my humble opinion, LMOP would do well as the model for many of the EPA’s programs. Rather than considering itself the authority on landfill methane issues and practices, LMOP’s remarkably small staff proceeds on the premise that it is there to meet the needs of its partners…truly a “What do you want us to do for you” approach that really works.

For more on the subject, please click here, which contains the LMOP Supplement to our November/December issue.

Then, if you’re anywhere near the Baltimore area next week, you should make it a point to drop by and see what a few good people can turn out.
