® FOREWORD <br /> ® This document was prepared by the SWANA Landfill Gas Division and is based on its <br /> ® professional assessment of current practices and procedures relating to the control, recovery and <br /> ® utilization of landfill gas. The observations and suggestions in this document should serve as <br /> ® a starting point for readers who are interested in furthering their own knowledge of the subject <br /> matter. <br /> ® After carefully considering the wisdom and feasibility of issuing recommended standards and <br /> ® guidelines, the Division concluded that such a step would be premature. As the patterns and <br /> ® practices associated with landfill gas control, recovery and utilization are still emerging, it made <br /> no sense for the Division to attempt to fashion durable and realistic criteria and norms. <br /> Nevertheless, the Division has successfully delineated workable approaches that will benefit both <br /> experienced persons and firms, as well as newcomers to the field. <br /> SWANA plans to supplement the materials in this report from time to time as warranted b <br /> significant breakthroughs in technology or technique. This edition is an update to the original <br /> 1985 edition. Meanwhile, the Division invites interested persons to submit their comments or <br /> opinions. <br /> SWANA, its members and chapter, do not assume any liabili tywith respect to the use of, or for <br /> damages resulting from the use of, any information, equipment, method or process discussed in <br /> this report.
