RENEWABLE POWER PRODUCERS (LFG TREATMENT) - Oil Extraction Facility in Lawrence, Kansas

RENEWABLE POWER PRODUCERS (LFG TREATMENT) is an oil extraction facility located at 338 Rice Rd., Lawrence, Jefferson County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 211111, 211120, and 211130, which cover crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, and support activities for oil and gas operations. Its location in the Midcontinent region places it within a mature oil and gas producing area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Kansas state agencies. Oil extraction activities are subject to the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Clean Water Act (CWA), with specific requirements for emissions controls and produced water management. The facility's focus on landfill gas (LFG) treatment suggests it may be involved in processing gas from waste sources, which aligns with renewable energy production. As an oil extraction facility with LFG treatment capabilities, this plant contributes to both conventional hydrocarbon production and renewable energy generation. Its operational status indicates ongoing activity in the region's energy sector, supporting local energy supply and potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions through LFG utilization.

The facility is situated in a rural area of Jefferson County, Kansas, near the city of Lawrence. The region's oil extraction activities are subject to environmental regulations addressing air emissions, water protection, and waste management. The treatment of landfill gas (LFG) helps mitigate methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, while producing energy. Local environmental considerations include groundwater protection from drilling fluids and produced water, as well as air quality management for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants.
