Purpose and Scope. This Engineering Manual (EM) establishes criteria and guidance for landfill gas (LFG) collection and treatment systems. The foundation of Corps of Engineers environmental work is the Environmental Operating Principles as specified in ER 200-1-5. These seven tenets serve as guides and must be applied in all Corps business lines as we strive to achieve a sustainable environment.

Applicability. This EM applies to HQUSACE elements, major subordinate commands (MSC), districts, and field operating activities (FOA) with responsibilities for LFG collection and treatment systems.
