		Landfill Energy Systems is an Industry Ally with the Landfill Methane Out Reach Program, known as LMOP, and our Sacramento County project was designated as LMOP Project of the Year 2000. LMOP is part of the Environmental Protection Agency and was created as part of the Presidential Climate Change Action Plan. It is a voluntary program designed to encourage and facilitate the development of environmentally and economically sound Landfill Gas projects.

		Landfill Energy Systems is a founding member of the (MIPPA) and sits on its Steering Committee. MIPPA is comprised of independent power generators throughout Michigan using alternative fuel sources including landfill gas, hydro, waste wood and solid waste. MIPPA was formed to promote and support the common interests of both existing and developing independent power facilities; to enhance the role of independent power producers in a deregulated generation market; and maintain the viability of renewable energy. LES has successfully lobbied the Michigan state legislature on behalf of MIPPA's interests during the Michigan electric deregulation process and has provided expert testimony on behalf of MIPPA to the Michigan Public Service Commission.
