Title V Permit Application:
Republic Services’s Title V Permit for Coffin Butte Landfill is up for renewal for the first time since 2009. A Title V Permit determines how much pollution a large industrial source is allowed to emit. Permits set the upper limit on various types of pollution and the practices an operation must follow to ensure compliance.

SB 726 Rulemaking:
SB 726, “Methane Emissions Monitoring,” was passed in 2025 and requires Coffin Butte Landfill to implement better methane emissions monitoring practices. This rulemaking meeting will include a presentation on the rule changes by DEQ and is a great opportunity to let DEQ know they are on the right track!
