What State or Federal Agency regulates the safe level of methane gas on high-rise elevators?

It's Otis Elevator that takes care of that in Indiana, and I think most of America. Local Fire Marshal would pass the inspections in each City.

Radon? If Radon gas has be detected under your house, covering all exposed ground in your crawl space(under the house) with a 5 mill plastic sheeting, then venting the gas from under the sheeting into freash air (PVC piping, Solid drain pipe, etc.) usually will work.  Call a plumber, they usually install a radon vent in new houses, so they will know for sure.

If you are talking about a house, the state housing code would be a good place to start. Since you don't identify the state you're talking about, no one can offer much more. You can call a gas appliance installer and ask him, of course, but apparently that's too simple.

I worked in the natural gas industry for 35 years and I have never heard of a natural gas storage tower. Do you mean a liquefied petroleum gas storage tank? Or maybe a liquefied natural gas storage tank? Please provide more info.

my guess is no. you would need a pump (or pumps) to keep the water circulating and would use more energy than a standard elevator.\n\nthere are hydraulic elevators though, but they wouldn't work in a high rise because of the size of the piston needed (among other things).

It's called SEP a link is below. Also the Department of Natural Resources has programs for alternative fuel promotion.

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations

There are no federal regulations to speak of regarding  scrap yards or junk yards. it is normally the local authorities that have jurisdiction over who can operate, where they can operate.\n\nYou need to contact the local townships were each scrap yard resides.\n\nThe only thing the federal agencies monitor is OSHA who supervises safety, the EPA and DEP who monitor ground and air problems.\n\nIn West Virginia you can contact the "DEQ" Virginia Department of Environmental Quality  -  629 East Main Street  - P.O. Box 10009  -  Richmond, VA 23240-0009  -  (804) 698-4000 or 1-800-592-5482\n\nThe Department of Environmental Quality's enforcement mission is to take fair and consistent enforcement actions to ensure compliance with Virginia’s environmental laws and regulations in a manner that promotes the health and well being of the Commonwealth’s citizens and protects its environment.

Methane is an explosive gas if its lel is 100%. It does not appear to be part of the green house gas. Methane is lighter than air,and if it was part of the green house problem there would be a large layer near the Van Allen belt,which would be explosive to missiles passing through it.
