Abstract: American society is currently very much preoccupied with issues surrounding environmental control. Effectively balancing the environmental needs of the country in an increasingly regulatory and bureaucratic environment has often proven difficult. In the area of environmental regulation, the landfill methane recovery industry is a case in point. Up until and throughout the 1950s, America used to pile garbage in open dumps and then set it on fire. With the shift to the sanitary landfill, we also discovered that solid waste decomposes and generates a gas. Once generated through anaerobic decomposition inside the landfill, these gases follow the path of least resistance and emit into the atmosphere on a continual basis. In the late 1960s, the underground migration of landfill gas began to be recognized as a serious problem, in addition, constant emission of landfill gas also causes numerous pollution problems.
