Montgomery County Resource Recovery: FAQ

- Who owns Montgomery County Resource Recovery?
- EIA-860M names Covanta Montgomery, Inc. as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
- Is this the same as Montgomery County Resource Recovery LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Covanta Montgomery, Inc. here — not the project company that holds the asset.
