BACKGROUND: : On January 11, 2022, City Council approved the Lease, Easement and Landfill Gas Rights Agreement with Comanche Renewables, LLC. The agreement provides for a landfill gas project to be constructed, operated, and maintained by Comanche Renewables that will produce pipeline quality natural gas to be sold and injected into the natural gas distribution system. The project also reduces landfill gas system operational expenses currently incurred by the city and provides for a new source of revenue generation in the best interest of our citizens through gas royalties. The proposed agreement will allow for the installation and maintenance of landfill gas pipelines by Comanche Renewables crossing City of Lawton utility easements along the route to the natural gas distribution system injection point.
