RESOLUTION TO ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT LEGISLATION
FACILITATING LANDFILL GAS RECOVERY PROJECTS IN THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
WHEREAS, the counties and municipalities in North Carolina maintain and operate solid waste landfills
which by decomposition of landfill contents, generate a medium BTU methane gas commonly referred to as landfill
gas; and
WHEREAS, regulations enacted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency require the owners
of landfills to capture and properly dispose of landfill gas; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the State of North Carolina, as expressed in N.C.G.S. § 62-2 to avoid
"wasteful, uneconomic and inefficient uses of energy"; and
WHEREAS, N.C.G.S. § 130A -309.03(a)(5) provides as follows: "the failure and inability to economically
remove material and energy sources from solid waste results in the unnecessary waste and depletion of our natural
resources; such that, maximum resource recovery from solid waste and maximum recycling and reuse of resources
must be considered goals of the State;" and
WHEREAS, Iredell County owns and operates a solid waste landfill upon which there is a gas recovery
project; and
WHEREAS, landfill gas is a potentially valuable energy resource; and
WHEREAS, any entity collecting, selling, and transporting landfill gas, or steam generated by combustion
of landfill gas, is potentially subject to regulation as a public utility by the North Carolina Public Utilities
Commission; and
WHEREAS, the development of landfillgasrecoverypro ectsbyprivatesectorventuresalleviates counties
and municipalities from having to comply with the EPA's landfill gas regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Iredell County Board of Commissioners encourages
and supports the enactment of legislation that allows entities and companies engaged in the extraction, processing,
distribution, or sale of landfill gas, or steam generated by combustion of this gas, to be exempt from regulation by
the North Carolina Utilities Commission and for this exemption to extend to not more than ten customers from any
one single landfill.
