Text
The general
assembly hereby declares that landfill gas constitutes a hazard to the health,
welfare, and safety of the people of this state, whether such gas has accumulated
as a result of a public or private landfill operation, and that the extraction of landfill
gas will ameliorate this dangerous condition, and further declares that the
development of landfill gas will provide a valuable, alternate energy resource to the
citizens of this state. In order to diminish this hazard and utilize this energy
resource, the powers of municipalities are hereby expanded to authorize landfill
gas exploration, development, and production; the financing thereof; the marketing
and sale of landfill gas to any public or private person or entity; and the municipal
use thereof for any purpose.
