LMOP National Map

Landfill Gas (LFG) Energy Projects and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills

LMOP’s National Map is a visual tool that accompanies the LMOP database of landfills in the United States and associated energy projects.

The map below incorporates Tribal land data, which can be viewed when zoomed in to the state level. LMOP provides basic instructions for using the map.

Information in the LMOP database is compiled from a variety of sources by voluntary submittal, is updated periodically and can change. LMOP cannot guarantee the validity of the data.

Data Sources

Data Source	Description	Last Data Release
LMOP Database - Projects	LMOP LFG energy projects. The LMOP database tracks operational, under-construction, planned and shutdown energy projects at MSW landfills. It also identifies landfills that may be candidates for new LFG energy projects. If you have updates to the project data, please contact LMOP.	9/4/2024
LMOP Database - Landfills	LMOP MSW landfills. The LMOP database is not an exhaustive national inventory of MSW landfills and is not purported to list every MSW landfill in the country. If you have updates to the landfill data, please contact LMOP.	9/4/2024
Tribal Land Data	EPA Tribal land data are displayed as ten data layer options in the LMOP map. Some are area layers while others (Alaska Native Villages, Virginia Federally Recognized tribes) are point locations. LMOP displays these data to show the proximity of Tribal land areas to LFG energy projects and MSW landfills.	Varies. See metadata for each layer at link provided.
