The facility address is 6640 Cochran Road, Solon, OH 44139. there is major development in the area, of which the primary facility is Swagelok's World Headquarters and plant. Swagelok is a $1.3 billion industry that manufactures fluid system components (valves, fittings, etc.) and is probably the City of Solon's largest employer. I have attached a photograph taken last week from the north slope of the closed landfill looking toward the northeast. Shown above the flare in the background is Swagelok's complex. To the left of the flare is a compressor station in which we send approx. 2,000 scfm of landfill gas to the Nestles Plant (formerly Stouffers) to fire the boilers used to cook food for their frozen food line. The Nestles plant is located approx. 2 miles away directly over the tree-line to the left. The City of Solon also has their service garage and offices immediately east of the facility. There are numerous other industries (tunneling machine manufacturer, vacuum sweeper manufacturer, etc.) along Cochran Road with $300K homes immediately to the south / southeast.

DEARBORN, Mich., July 28 -Ford Land, Ford Motor Company's real estate and development arm, today announced its development of Fairlane Green, a lmillion-square-foot green retail and. recreational center on the 243-acre site of the recently closed Allen Park Clay Mine Landfill. Fairlane Green is the largest landfill redevelopment project in Michigan and the largest under .construction in the country for retail use. In all, nearly two-thirds of the site will be natural green space, including a 43-acre park and 3.5 miles of trails. "Fairlane Green is a truly innovative development that is setting a new standard for responsible land use and development," said Sean McCourt, chairman of Ford Land. "It will be a highly visible and tangible. demonstration of Ford Motor Company's belief that good business can and. should be environmentally and socially responsible. Go to http://media.ford.com for news releases and high-resolution photographs. "Fairlane Green lives up to its name on several levels," said McCourt. "We're developing on a brownfield, or environmentally challenged site, designing a site plan that preserves more land than it develops, and incorporating environmentally friendly features into the construction." Ford has worked closely with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) to ensure the integrity of the landfill and long-term development potential of the site. The site, located between Oakwood Boulevard and Outer Drive, and Interstate 94 and the Southfield Freeway (Michigan 39) in Allen Park, is a welcome addition to the Allen Park and Dearborn communities, providing an area destination for dining, shopping and recreation. The economic benefits are equally important, as the site adds a valuable tax base and approximately 2,000 jobs. "The City of Allen Park is fortunate to partner with world class developers," said Richard Huebler, Allen Park mayor. "I am very proud to see this re-use of land, which will provide new employment opportunities and shopping experiences for the residents of Allen Park." The first phase of development calls for 408,000 square feet of retail businesses on 105 acres. Subsequent phases include the park and approximately 600,000 square feet of additional retail. Ford Land sold Phase I to Archon Group, the real estate subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, located in Irving, Texas, but remains active in construction, geotechnical and environmental aspects of the project. Ford owns remaining phases of the planned development. According to Brad Kempson, director of retail leasing at Archon, Phase I will be anchored by a 124,000-square-foot Target store to open in October 2005. Other signed national retailers include Barnes & Noble, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Famous Footwear, Lane Bryant, Longhorn Steakhouse, Michael's, Old Navy, On-the-Border, Pier 1 Imports, T.J. Maxx and World Market. Mostplan to open this fall. Go to http://media.ford.com for news releases and high-resolution photographs. "We're excited to participate in such a landmark development," said Curt Bailey, Archon's Midwest director of retail acquisitions. "Fairlane Green showcases our firm's retail development expertise and converts a previously unusable site into one the residents of Allen Park can be proud to have as part of their community." SustainabilitV As part of Ford's commitment to sustainability, Fairlane Green will seek certification as a "green" site through the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Core and Shell pilot program for developers. The USGBC is a public/private consortium of building industry leaders. "Fairlane Green demonstrates Ford Motor Company's commitment to being a leader in sustainable design and development," said McCourt. "Environmental responsibility has long been a key value of Ford Motor Company." Ford describes sustainable initiatives as those that are responsible environmentally, socially and financially. According to McCourt, sustainability delivers long-term cost benefits, promotes the conservation of resources and supports the development of natural habitats. Some of the sustainable and environmental features of Fairlane Green include: • A 43-acre park and 3.5 miles of trails around the site. • Site irrigation from storm water retention ponds rather than municipal water supplies. • Bio-swales and wetland-type detention ponds to manage storm water runoff and create natural habitat for birds and other wildlife. • Green screens, hedgerows and prairie-style landscaping to green the site and provide wildlife habitat. • Reduced energy consumption through white reflective roofing and high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment. Go to http://media.ford.com for news releases and high-resolution photographs. Overall, approximately two-thirds of the 243-acre site will be green -not covered by parking, roads or rooftops. This is 60% less dense than average retail developments based on square feet per acre. (The International Council of Shopping Centers estimates typical retail yields at 10,000 square feet per acre, while Fairlane Green is approximately 4,000 square feet per acre.) Through its LEED Green Building Rating System, the USGBC provides national standards for sustainable buildings. Other LEED-certified buildings Ford helped develop include the Premier Automotive Group's North American Headquarters in Irvine, Calif., the Detroit Lions Headquarters and Training Facility in Allen Park, Mich., and the Ford Rouge Visitor Center in Dearborn, Mich. Going beyond the core and shell development, tenants of Fairlane Green are encouraged to pursue sustainability within their buildings. Target, for example, has partnered with Ford to contribute to this environmentally sound development. In addition to sustainable elements found at all Target stores, such as white roof membranes and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, this store will include several innovative sustainable features. More than 250 skylights will save energy by allowing light fixtures to be turned off when conditions allow natural daylight to illuminate the sales floor, and a cistern on the roof will recycle rainwater. Landfill Background The property was originally a clay quarry until it was converted to a landfill in the mid-1950s. The geology of the site, including the artesian conditions and a natural 90-foot clay layer, made it an ideal location for Ford's industrial waste disposal. Because industrial waste is inorganic, producing limited settlement, odor or methane gas, the site was a prime candidate for redevelopment. As the landfill cells neared capacity in the last few years, Ford developed a closure and post- closure plan with the MDEQ to ensure the integrity of the site and compliance with all applicable regulations to support the development. Go to http://media.ford.com for news releases and high-resolution photographs. "Ford Land's commitment to transforming a brownfield into functional green space is commendable," said MDEQ Director Steven E. Chester. "This project shows that a healthy environment and a healthy economy can, and do, go hand in hand." Brownfield Development Redevelopment of Fairlane Green was made possible through a master deed that allows Ford to maintain ownership of the subsurface land (the original landfill), while selling rights to develop the surface to third parties. To encourage development of the site, Ford obtained approval for up to $30 million in tax increment financing (TIF) from the MDEQ and city of Allen Park to reimburse the extraordinary costs associated with building on top of a landfill. These costs include measures to reduce settlement, protect the landfill cap, reinforce slopes and construct utilities. "The state of Michigan and city of Allen Park have been extremely supportive of this project," said McCourt. "Through their brownfield programs, they have leveled the playing field for developers who would otherwise find it cost-prohibitive to develop environmentally challenged sites." Site Contractors Suppliers for Phase I include Texas-based VCC and O'Brien & Associates for vertical construction and architecture, respectively, and JM Olson of St. Clair Shores, Mich., for site work construction. Other Detroit-area partners include The Mannik & Smith Group for landscape architecture, NTH Consultants for geotechnical engineering and Atwell-Hicks for civil engineering. Grant Trigger of Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn structured the condominium concept and helped secure the TIF. Established in 1970, Ford Motor Land Development Corporation (Ford Land) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (NYSE.• F). Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford Land is afull-service provider of real estate, construction, facility and energy services. Its hallmark development is Fairlane, a 2,360-acre master planned community that is southeastern Michigan's premier business, retail, residential and recreational center.

EarthCompliant.org ~» Carbon Offset Projects Page 1 of 3 Through voluntary Green Tax programs and with the help of our customers EarthCompliant.org is proud to support energy efficient, renewable energy, and biological sequestration projects. Investment in these projects plays a vital role in the fight against global climate change. The Carbon Financial Instrument contracts purchased by Earth Compliant.org represent investments made in carbon offsetting and Green House Gas reduction projects that meet t highest industry standards of performance toward eliminating all GHG emissions that pollute our environment. For your information we have included some more information on these projects below. Van Eek Forest Project -Reforestation, USA The Van Eck Forest Project ensures significant climate benefits are achieved from the sustainable management of roughly 2,200 acres of working forestlands in Humboldt County, California. Owned by the Fred M. van Eck Forest Foundation, the Van Eck Forest is a working redvrood forest conserved and managed by the Pacific Forest Trust to increase carbon stores, restore biodiversity and old growth qualities and provide habitat for endangered species. In addition helping cool the climate, the Van Eck Forest Project helps protect wildlife habitat, safeguard clean water and sustain rural communities and jobs for the benefit of all Californians. The Van Eck Forest Project will permanently reduce approximately 500,OD0 tons of C02 emissions over a 100-year period by ensuring use of sustainable forestry practices that sequester more carbon than could be attained through conventional management. The .project is the first emissions reductions project registered and independently certified under the rigorous accounting standards adopted by the California Air Resources Board t help the state meet its ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals. Intrepid Dairy Farms -Methane Capture, USA The Whitesides and Westpoint dairy farms, located in southern Idaho, USA, are changing the method of processing manure to a system using anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion technology will help reduce the release of methane into the atmosphere and aid in mitigatinc climate change: The new biogas digesters installed at both dairies will now capture and desti methane gas produced from the waste of over 12,000 dairy cows. 6/8/2009 Prior to the installation of the anaerobic digesters, manure was managed through the use of open lagoons. Anaerobic bacteria found in the lagoons broke down the waste into hundreds ~ tons of methane gas that was freely released into the open atmosphere. Now, biogas digeste installed at the Whitesides and Westpoint dairies will instead capture and- destroy the methai Manure is collected from the freestall barns and open lots using a vacuum truck and offloade into a central mixing tank. The manure is then homogenized and diluted to the proper solids content prior to enterin the digester. The Intrepid Digester technology processes the waste in 4-5 days as compared to 20-30 days for most commercially available manure digesters. Captured methane is processed using ITR's proprietary scrubbing process into pipeline quality gas and sold to an industrial user whereupon it is combusted and destroyed. Creating Community Benefits Through Emission Reduction Projects: • Since installing the anaerobic digesters, air quality has improved substantially. • The noxious odours that used to emanate from the treatment lagoons have been eliminated. Fewer toxic substances will leach into the soil and local ground water supply because the animal waste from tl http://earthcompliant. org/Proj ects.php EarthCompliant.org open lagoons has been removed. Saldanha Hydrolectric -Renewable Energy, Brazil ",;; Page 2 of 3 The Saldanha project consists of a small run-of-river hydroelectric project, located on the Saldanha River in the municipality of Alta Floresta d'Oeste, Rondonia state. The small hydro power plant consists of 2 turbines with a 2.4MW capacity each, and has a tc installed capacity to run at 4.8 MW. For the local .community the Saldanha project brings environmental sustainability, economic development, better working conditions and improved employment levels, whilst continually contributing to development of technological capacity since all technology, hand labour and technical maintenance will be provided domestically in Brazil SPM Group Pig Farms -Methane Capture, Thailand SPM Group is a big group of pig farms and a feed mill company, spread over four locations. The project involves the utilization of high-rate anaerobic wastewater treatment reactors (developed by the Energy Research and Development Institute at Chiang Mai University) at each of these sites. As well as reducing harmful methane emissions into the atmosphere, the project will also offer significant socio-economic benefits to the local area. The project began operation this year, and is expected to continue for at least ten years. Thi will result in emissions reductions of 258,100 tC02 equivalent over that period, and 126,865 tC02 equivalent up to and including 2012. These reductions will be achieved. through methar recovery from the existing lagoon-based waste water treatment system, and thror_rgh the displacement of fossil fuels used to generate electricity for Thai's natiohal grid. In addition the project also contributes to sustainable development, through: • Creating employment opportunities in the area where the project is located both during its construction and operation phases • Enabling the transfer of knowledge as ERDI will train site employees in the instalEation, operation and ~i~a'ii~tei~a lice of the bragaS ~y~tem • Contributing to local and regional economy since the cables, transformers, construction equipment, and subcontractors are procured locally; • .Diversifying the sources of electricity generation and support Thailand in meeting its growing energy demand4 + Reducing. the dependence on foreign sources of energy thereby strengthening Thailand's energy security and self sufficiency • Assisting Thailand in accelerating the commercialization of grid-connected renewable energy technologies and markets in the country Palmetto Landfill Gas Drives BMW Plant, USA Methane gas drawn from Waste Management's Palmetto Landfill is providing approximately percent of the energy needs at BMW's manufacturing facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina, To use the gas, a 9.5-mile pipeline was built in 2003 from Palmetto Landfill to the BMW plan where it drives generators. Turning this methane into energy reduces carbon dioxide emissic equivalent to removing close to 61,000 automobiles from U.S. highways each year. The gree power harnessed by this project also equals the amount necessary to heat about 15,000 homes a .year. Recently, the EPA recognized the automaker for its use of an alternative powe source for electricity. BMW received the EPA's Green Star Award for serving as a role model other green power purchasers. Sainte-Sophie Landfill Gas Powers Paper Mill, Canada In 2005, methane gas from our Next Generation TechnologySM landfill near Montreal began. http://earthcompliant.org/Projects.php 6/8/2009 EarthCompliant.org Page 3 of 3 .powering the local Cascades paper mill. Gas from the landfill is recovered and transported through a 13-kilometer pipeline to the plant in Saint-Jerome, Quebec. Landfill gas is replacing 75 percent of the mill's natural gas usage and should help meet a large part of its energy requirements for the next 10 years. It is also reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 540,000 tons ayear -the equivalent of removing about 120,000 cars from the roads. The paper mill's 10-year contract to use Waste Management's landfill gas as acost-efficient, alternative energy sour is credited with keeping the plant open after rising fuel costs threatened the. continued operation of the Saint- Jerom manufacturing facility.

At BMW, we didn't close our eyes to the effects; instead, we baked faraway to put it use. The result was the BMW Gas to Energy Project: in every sense, a groundbreaking achievement. A reservoir of unta[d paver. i as 00 ed ~n rfram tl e nearbedPaf metto Mandfiflc At 4that moment,gthe fac lity's en vlronmental leaderbh p, agai ,nbralkee gew ground - ifteraily and f guratively. Tl~e turbines as-e powered by the facility`s unique Gas-to-Energy project. Developed by engineers from BMW and utilities partner, Ameresco, the alternative energy system captures 5,000 cubic feet of methane gas per minute from the landfill. The pressurized gas is then transported to the Energy Center on the BMW campus. Inside the Energy Center, the methane gas is used to turn the turbines which supply approximately 63°l0 of the energy demands for the BMW campus. Shortly after the start-up of the new system, BMW Manufacturing Co. realized that the landfill was producing more methane than the turbines could burn, so engineers looked for other areas within the plant that couid exploit the once wasted resource. They immediately focused an the Paint Slap - a single department that uses half the plant`s energy. lNorking with Durr Industries, the original designers and installers of the factory's paint shop equipment, the team began designing a rriassive overhaul of the Paint Shop. Four huge convection ovens, water chillers and other equipment would need to be canve~~ted from natural gas to landfill gas. It would be one of the largest green energy projects attempted in the industry. The solution was designed in typical BMVd fashion. Simply, elegantly. As the gas comes into the Energy Center, the line splits. One continues to the turbines, another passes through a metering station before it enters the Paint Shop. Here it is used directly to fue! the Paint Shap oven burners, making BMW Manufacturing Co. the only automobile manufacturer to feature a green painting operation.. What we didn't realize then was that the potential for using this alternative power source was greater even than the voracious neerJs of the Paint Shop. Even after the Paint Shop conversion was completed, more methane from the fandfil! was available far use in other areas. We have found ample ways to put the once-wasted emission to use. Today, landfill gas is used to beat a bailer at the energy center and is being used to fuel the burner for the incinerator as weft as another burner for one of the factory`s pollution control devices. Thanks to the expanded use of the methane gas, BMV+J Manufacturing Co. hao succeeded in reducing Ct} emissions by approximately 17,000 tons per year. All while supplying the plant with 63 io of its energy needs and solidifying our position as a leader in environmental resource manaGement. http://www.bmwusfactory.com/print.aspx?id=238 6/8/2009 [^_~c fn ~narr~ae Prn%E?d"i"•_ CnC1SE!CVc~t1011 111 ACttC311, Go~rie.com: Print Article This is a printer friendly version of an article from www.goerie.com To print this article open the file menu and choose Print. Back to the article Article published May 25, 2008 Landfill expansion (AUDIO) By John Guerriero john.guerriero@timesnews.com The casino's future ski. resort. Page ~ of That's what some Presque Isle Downs & Casino employees call the mountain that is Erie County's only landfill. They joke, of course, but another mountain will be in the making if a state agency approves a permit change fo Lake View landfill in Summit Township. Waste Management, the landfill's owner and operator, is asking the state Department of Environmental .Protection for a change that would allow the company to expand its landfill 90 acres south on land that the company already. owns. The company now digs into that land for dirt to cover the newly opened areas of the 130 acres that it uses for the landfill, which at its peak Is 1,480 feet above sea level. It's one of the highest peaks in Erie County; the highest point is 1,900 feet just south of Corry. The landfill height is within or near the top 10 highest peaks in the county, said Joel Fair, .permitting section chief of the waste management program for the DEP. The tap of the landfill at 851 Robison Road E. affords a view not only of the nearby casino and track, but also of Lake Erle and even Canada on a clear day. But Lake View Landfill can only go so high -- 1,543 feet above sea level under its permit with the DEP, said Corm Camillo, the local spokesman for. Waste Management. So the clock is tkking, and the calendar is flipping. The landfill that got 99.2 percent of its trash from Erie, Crawford and Mercer counties in 2007 has three to four years of space left before it reaches capacity, he said. It needs DEP approval to use more of its property for a landfill -- a process that could take one to two years of review and comment, said Freda Tarbell, the agency's regional spokeswoman. And no wonder. The application. is contained in eight binders that are each 5 inches thick, along with 45 engineering drawings -- compared with the original five-page landfill application. "I know it's a long time to read all of it, because I have," said Keith Doverspike, a Waste Management engineer. A longer life Modern landfills are a complex mix of the disciplines of engineering, geology, physics and meteorology, Camillo said. The anatomy of a typical landfill includes 15 layers for environmental protection. Think of it like a Dogwood sandwich with garbage in between. Then there's the 90 wells scattered. throughout the landfill that collect methane gas from decomposing garbage -- an early part of the process to generate electricity from trash. The landfill powers its two office buildings from the electricity and sells enough on the open market to light 6;000 homes a year, Camillo said. That's a' far cry from early days of the property, part of which was a goat farm in the 1930s and a place where people dumped their trash before the environmental movement and Waste Management's involvement, he said. ,_.a~ _ ~,. , . ,,. ~ .... <_.. - . _ . -..._ _ . ... _ . _ GoErie.com: Print Article Page z of The expansion of the existing footprint would extend the landfill's life by 10 to 30 years, depending on how much household, industrial and commercial waste the landfill takes in, Camillo said. The expansion would last only 10 years if the landfill cook in the 4,600-ton daily maximum that DEP allows. But at least 30 more years is expected because the landfill takes in about 1,400 to 1,500 tons daily,. in part due to recycling, Camillo said. The expansion will cost $40 million in today's dollars -- $38 million for the landfill itself and $2 million for the company's creat(on about three years ago of a 65-acre wetlands habitat farther south where turkeys, deer, ducks, geese and a fox have- been seen, Camillo said. Because the landfill will expand in individual cells, or compartments, the construction dollars. will be spent over the course of an estimated 30 years, Camillo said. Cash for trash Summit Township, a community with a population of 6,162, gets $1 for each ton of trash that is .disposed at the landfill -- a benefit of serving as the host municipality. "Let's not kid each other. Everybody would not want to be living beside a landfill," said Summit Supervisor Marlin Coon. But as recycling efforts go up, income goes down far Summit. The township got $352,184 from the landfill in 2007, compared with $773,000 in 1996, said Christine Yeast, .Summit assistant treasurer. The 1996 figure was the earliest one she had available. Coon, who took office in January 1996, said the landfill fees made up 40 percent of the township's revenue when he started the job. Now, it's about 25 percent, though those dollars have been replaced by property and wage taxes brought on by the upper Peach Street building boom, he Bald. The township used the cash to start operating and capital reserve funds, with about $2 million now (n each account, Coon said. The capital reserve is used for road repairs, vehicle purchases and other expenses, while the operating reserve is for the day when the landfill no longer is active, he-said. Coon said that white the public can comment on the proposed expansion, he's. confident that the landfill is goinc to be in Summit "for a good many more years to come." ~ ..1.. .... 1. .. Inn of thn Iwrt Vlfill~4r' t[fey Don Blakesley, Erie County recycling coordinator, said t,-~e eorr~mur~~ty iicc~s ~~i ~%.~~~~~.~.i ~+ .~ - "The cost of waste disposal would skyrocket if they would close ... given the price of diesel," Blakesley Bald. Though .some haulers take trash to other landfills, Erie County has an agreement with the landfill to reserve space for 250,000 tons of garbage annually for a decade, a renewed agreement that took effect in 2005, he said. The county's backup plan is w(th a landfill in Poland, Ohio, near Youngstown. Active landfitls are on the decline in the United States, dropping from 7,924 in 1988 to the latest figure available, 1,754 In 2006, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. But. while the numbers have. decreased, the average landfill size has increased, the agency said. Lake View Landfill's proposed expansion, which at its highest point would be 90 feet lower than the existing mound, would fit that trend. "I don't think there's support for another Lake View-sized landfill in the county. 'Not in my backyard' is a pretty common theme," Blakesley said. Punch in, punch out Coon, 69, said it's "kind of Ironic" that what he called the largest development in the community in h(s lifetime occurred right in the shadow of the landfill -- the track and casino. Jennifer See, the casino's spakeswoman, said the casino has no complaints about its corporate neighbor just southeast of its property. "You can't even tell it's a dump from where we are. We don't get any of the odors or anything. They've been great neighbors," Seesald. ` GoE~ie.com: Print Article The grass and shrubs planted by the company disguise what's underneath.

The birds arrive at the beginning of the day when a fresh load is dumped, and they leave at the end of the day when the landfill operators cover the trash with dirt to smother the odors and keep the birds away. "They kind of punch in and punch out when we open and close," Camillo said. See said the casino isn't concerned about the landfill's southern expansion. "It really won't affect us," she said. "That's more slopes to add to our ski mountain," she said.

Dan Erni, environmental engineer at the facility, shows some of the piping that carries landfill gas to the compression Traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels are becoming less available and harder to secure given the current state of world affairs. Even though prices have risen, demand remains high for these products, causing much to be said about developing renewable energy from products such as wind, water, solar power, and garbage. Garbage? Waste Management, Inc. operates nearly 300 landfill sites across North America. Seventy of them are waste-to-energy sites, including the Five Oaks Disposal facility near Taylorville, Ill. These locations use technology developed by Waste Management's Renewable Energy department to capture landfill gases, including methane which has been linked to global warming, and turn them into renewable energy. The average American produces 4.4 pounds of garbage each day, most of which is organic in nature. When waste is taken to a landfill, over time it begins to decompose. During this process, anaerobic bacteria - organisms that survive in the absence of oxygen -give off landfill gases that are .approximately 50 percent carbon dioxide and 50 percent methane, according to Car] Niemann, sales manager/business development at the Taylorville facility. "Typically, the landfill gas would be destroyed by a flare system," he said. At the One of four Caterpillar 16- cylinder engines that generate enough electricity to power 2,500 Five Oaks Disposal facility, we have the . technology to capture that gas and turn it into electricity, which in turn creates enough power for approximately 2,500 homes, about 3.2 megawatts" A series of wells and pipes are in place throughout the active landfill site. A vacuum system captures the gas and sends it to fuel four. Caterpillar 16-cylinder engines that in turn power generators, creating electricity. The facility was completed and brought on line in February 2008, and current gas production is 1,200 cubic feet per minute, said Dan Erni, environmental engineer. "That number is expected to grow," he added. "We have 30 more years' capacity at this location, and the landfill gas will continue to be produced for several decades after the landfill is closed." The gas does not require any special conditioning and the engines run 24 hours a day, seven days a week about 98 percent of the time. The electricity they produce goes directly into the local power grid. The facility handles not only local waste, but waste from the nearby city of Springfield, Illinois' capitol. There are approximately five pieces of heavy equipment used to move the 800-1,000 tons of garbage collected each day at the active landfill site, called the cell, as well as a fleet of more than 40 collection and transfer trucks. Christian County Farmers Supply ~i Company provides all the fuel for that equipment. Two energy specialists, Mike Wareham and Don Barlow, are responsible for the account. Each day, Monday through Friday, Wareham personally fills each piece of equipment at the landfill site with B-11 biodiesel to minimize the risk of spillage. If a holiday falls during the week, he also fuels on Saturday. "The garbage doesn't stop," he said. "It's amazing to watch the cell change over time, even in just the past three months:' Before joining Christian County Fanners Supply, Barlow worked with the Waste Management fuel account for another company. Now he delivers gasoline, road grade diesel fuel, and off-road diesel fuel to the transfer station in Springfield three times a week. Tim Sutton, Christian County Farmers Supply energy marketing manager, said he enjoys working with Waste Management and appreciates the value the company places on supporting local businesses. "That goes hand in hand with our cooperative business model and it's built a great relationship, working together to support a common cause, in this case our community," he said. Waste Management's community support extends beyond relationships with business suppliers. It is taking its environmental commitment one step further by providing a heat energy source to Buckley Growers, a four-acre commercial greenhouse located near the landfill. `As far as we know, we are the only landfill facility anywhere to capture the heat produced by the engines as they generate electricity and turn that heat into something beneficial," Erni said. "We won't be the only one for lgng, though. We've had many different groups tour our facility to see how we do this." Typically, the heat from the engines would simply be released into the atmosphere through large radiators, but instead the cooling fluid from the engines is directed to four heat exchangers. At the heat exchangers, clean water is heated by the cooling fluid to more than 200 degrees ~~: ww w.

Enough heat energy is produced that the greenhouse could double in size and still have enough to meet its needs, according to Niemann. "The cost of heat is a huge expense for greenhouse owners," said Lad Buckley, director of sales at Buckley Growers. `At certain times of the year, our floor heat is between 80-90 degrees, and our upper level heat can be as much as 160 degrees" The family-owned greenhouse supplies other greenhouses with starter plants, and produces spring plants, fall mums, Easter lilies, and poinsettias for florists and other retailers. The major factor in their decision to build in Taylorville was the availability of heat energy from the landfill. "Our relationship with Buckley Growers is just the tip of the iceberg," Niemann said. "If other landfills could create similar facilities and encourage other energy- intensive industries to locate nearby -for example a foundry or a pottery kiln -that energy could be harnessed and used instead of wasted." - Karen Jones Spirit Jan. -Feb: 2009 4 Buckley Growers employee Betty Stewart prepares cuttings for rooting at the t .. ~~~1~~~~?~ ~~~~~c~-e~l~~~~ ~~~~ll~.~ ~~~i~i~'~5 ~_~~~~ ~:~~il.~al~:~tl~.'i~1~s the ~zeen eight Economic ~3ev~l4pment Cox~lox Cent r(a 10 MW landfill anon-profit organization, owns the Green Knight Energy gas-to-energy facility at the Grand Central Sanitary Landfill in Pen Argyi.

SC Johnson Chairman Dr. H. Fisk Johnson, U.S. Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and others gathered to celebrate the launch of the project at the company's Waxdale manufacturing facility in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. The site of the groundbreaking will house a turbine engine which, through a process called cogeneration, burns waste methane gas from a nearby landfill to produce electricity and steam to be used by the Waxdale facility. In a further innovation, the Waxdale plant will use waste methane gas generated by a local landfill as the fuel for the cogeneration procedure. SC Johnson is the first consumer products manufacturer to use the cogeneration process to power its main manufacturing site operations. The waste methane gas will come from the Republic Services' Kestrel Hawk landfill site, one half mile to the east of Waxdale. SC Johnson will- burn methane instead of fossil fuels, such as natural gas or coal. Through this process, the company expects to reduce Waxdale's emissions of carbon dioxide (C02) and other greenhouse gases by 47 percent and cut fossil fuel energy use nearly in half by 2005. °The greenhouse gases we save through this process will be equivalent to keeping 3,200 cars off the road per year," said Dr. H. Fisk Johnson, Chairman of SC Johnson. "That's right for SCJ, our community and our planet today -and even more important, it's right for the generations of tomorrow." According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only about 30 U.S. companies have developed an energy recovery system utilizing otherwise wasted landfill methane. But SC Johnson is unique in its cogeneration process of using methane gas to make electricity and recovering waste heat for use in the Waxdale plant as steam. "SC Johnson's commitment to the environment and renewable energy development reflects the values and innovative spirit of people in Southern Wisconsin,. said U.S. Representative Paul Ryan (WI-01). "Their leadership also demonstrates that environmental stewardship can play a critical role in reducing the cost of doing business, which helps keep and create more jobs in today's economy." The project is another step in SC Johnson's efforts in the U.S. EPA's Climate Leaders Initiative, a voluntary partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The system is projected to be fully operational by the end of 2003. The groundbreaking took place just. three days after SC Johnson received the first-ever Lifetime Atmospheric Achievement Award fromthe U.S. EPA, recognizing the company for its longstanding commitment to protecting the ozone http://www. scjohnson.com/family/fam~re~re_news.asp?art_id=97 6/8/2009 - About SCJ SG Johnson News SC Johnson-Press Information ra~c~vi~ layer and climate.

Conferences o There are many cost-effective options for reducing methane emissions while International Activities generating energy. (To learn more about the economic feasibility of a LFG energy Frequent questions project, see LFGcost-Web under Documents, Tools, and Resources.) • Projects help reduce local air pollution. Green Power • Projects create jobs, revenues, and cost savings. Of the 2,300 or so currently operating or recently closed MSW landfills in the United States, more than 450 have LFG utilization projects. We estimate that approximately 520 additional MSW landfills could turn their gas into energy, producing enough electricity to power nearly 700,.000 homes. Landfill gas emitted from decomposing garbage is a reliable and renewable fuel option that remains largely untapped at many landfills across the United States, despite its many benefits. Generating. energy from LFG creates a number of environmental benefits: Directly reduces greenhouse gas emissions Municipal solid waste landfills are the second largest human-generated source of methane emissions in the United States, releasing an estimated 32 MMTCE to the atmosphere in 2007 alone. Given that all landfills generate methane, it makes sense to use the gas for the beneficial purpose of energy generation rather than emitting it to the atmosphere. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas that is a key contributor to global climate change (over 21 times stronger than C02). Methane also has a short (10-year) atmospheric life. Because methane is both potent and short-lived, reducing methane emissions from MSW landfills is one of the best ways to achieve anear-term beneficial impact in mitigating global climate change. It is estimated that a LFG project will capture roughly 60-90% of the methane emitted from the landfill, depending on system design and effectiveness. The captured methane is destroyed (converted to water and the much less potent C02) when the gas is burned to produce electricitya. The LFGE_Benefits_C....alcu_latorean be used to estimate greenhouse gas reductions from LFG recovery projects. aC0 emissions from MSW landfills are not considered to contribute to global climate change because the carbon was ~COntained in recently living biomass. The same COZ would be emitted as a result of the natural decomposition of the organic waste materials outside the landfill environment. http://www. epa. goy/)mop/benefits.htm 6/18/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: Benefits of Energy Page 2 of 3 Indirectly reduces air pollution by offsetting the use of non-renewable ~ resources Producing energy from LFG avoids the need to use non-renewable resources such as coal, oil, or natural gas to produce the same amount of energy. This can avoid gas end-user and power plant emissions of COZ and criteria pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (which is a major contributor to acid rain), particulate matter (a respiratory health concern), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and trace hazardous air pollutants. It should be noted that LFG electricity generation devices, like all combustion devices, generate some emissions of NOX, which can contribute to local ozone and smog formation. Depending on the fuels and technologies used by the power plant and the landfill project, the NOx emission reductions from the power plant may not completely offset the NOX emitted from the LFG electricity project. However, the overall environmental improvement from landfill gas electricity generation projects is significant because of the large methane reductions, hazardous air pollutant reductions, and avoidance of the use of limited non- renewable resources such as coal and oil that are more polluting than LFG. Creates other indirect benefits Collecting landfill gas to produce electricity improves the air quality of the surrounding community by reducing landfill odors. Burning LFG to produce electricity also destroys most of the non-methane organic compounds that are present at low concentrations in uncontrolled LFG, thereby reducing possible health risks from these compounds. Gas collection can also improve safety by reducing explosion hazards from gas accumulation in structures on or near the landfill. Generating electricity from existing MSW landfills is also a relatively cost-effective way to provide new renewable energy generation capacity to supply community power needs, and can create jobs that help build the local economy. Benefits the local economy Landfill gas projects generate revenue from the sale of the gas. Landfill gas use can also create jobs associated with the design, construction, and operation of energy recovery systems. Landfill gas projects involve engineers, construction firms, equipment vendors, and utilities or end-users of the power produced. Much of this cost is spent locally for dr illing, pipliig, CGiiStrUCtion, and Operational personnel, helping ~OmmunitleS t0 realize economic benefits from increased employment and local sales. Businesses are also realizing the cost savings associated with using LFG as a replacement for more expensive fossil fuels, such as natural gas. Some companies will save millions of dollars over the life of their LFG energy projects. By linking communities with innovative ways to deal with their LFG, LMOP helps communities enjoy increased environmental protection, better waste management, and responsible community planning. For example, the Ecology Club at Pattonville High School in Maryland Heights, Missouri, came up with the idea to use gas from the nearby landfill to heat their school. The school paid $175,000 to run a 3,600-foot pipeline between the landfill and the school's two basement boilers. In turn, the landfill- owner donated the methane to the school as a way of "giving back to the community." The school anticipates that it will save $40,000 a year, and recapture its investment within five years. Reduces environmental compliance costs Current EPA regulations under the Clean Air Act require many larger landfills to collect and combust LFG. There are several compliance options, including flaring the gas, or installing an LFG use system. Only LFG energy recovery offers communities and landfill owners the opportunity to reduce the costs associated with regulatory compliance by turning pollution into a valuable community resource. ~,~c~ ro ~o~ http: //www. epa. gov/lmop/benefits. htm 6/18/2009 t/nvironmenta>, rrotection tigency - Llvivr: Lucent i ecnnotogies rage ~ ui ~ ~~~~ lf.~.

Is there any Join the. Program wonder then that Lucent would become involved with an innovative project that. would reduce fuel bills, leaving more money to develop new technologies? Documents, Tools & Resources That is exactly what Lucent achieved by deciding to use landfill gas to fuel its boiler. Newsroom Significant fuel cost savings and a cleaner environment are just two of the benefits Lucent workshapsl Technologies received when it undertook a landfill gas-to-energy project with Network Conferences Energy of Lake County, Inc.. in 1992. International Activities gy fueling boiler operations with landfill gas instead of fossil fuels, Lucent saves $100,000 a i=request questions year on fuel bills. Columbus, Ohio, the home of the Lucent plant, and the global Green Power environment benefit, too: theproject reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking more than 23,000 cars off the road each year. The project team, consisting of key players from both Lucent and Network Energy, was key to the success of the project. Steve Teets of Lucent Technologies says the company is simply "tickled pink" about the environmental benefits, recognition within the local community, and cost savings they've received by using landfill gas as a fuel. Jeff Blanton of Network Energy, the project developer; credits Lucent's "progressive eneroy management team" with making the project a success. ~ ,;~. ' ~ ~'+~~~cT ~°~sc~l~"~it~! Since 1992, Network Energy of Lake County, Inc., a landfill gas project developer located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has sold landfill gas from the Bedford Landfill to Lucent Technologies. The proximity of the landfill -only 1.5 miles from the facility - as well as the 2.5 million tons of waste at the landfill provided enough reasons to start alarge-scale landfill gas recovery project. lucent became interested in the project because it offered. significant potential fuel savings with little risk or investment. Today, Lucent uses the gas to fuel boiler operations that generate steam for space heating and hot water at its 2.2-million-square-foot facility. The boiler supplements the landfill gas with natural gas as needed, in the unlikely case that the landfill gas supply is interrupted. This back-up system ensures that Lucent will have a constant supply of boiler fuel. Network Energy provided the capital costs for the project and agreed to sell Lucent the landfill gas for at least 10 percent less than the price of natural gas. At times, the savings is even greater - up to 20 percent less than the natural gas price -and fuel bill savings for Lucent typically reach $100,000 to $120,000 a year. Says Blanton, "landfill gas can be competitive and provide attractive and long-term savings to an industrial user." http://www.epa.gov/landfill/res/lucent.htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: Lucent Technologies Page 2 of BENEFITS Lucent, the surrounding community, and the global environment benefit from cleaner air and a reduced need for fossil fuels. In fact, this project reduces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 162,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year - similar to the reductions achieved by planting over 49,000 acres of trees. For Lucent Technologies, a notable benefit of the landfill gas-to-energy project is the cost savings realized. Because landfill gas is less expensive and easier to maintain than traditional fuels, like coal and oil, Lucent saves money on fuel costs and operating expenses. Local schools and community groups have shown great interest in the project, and both Lucent and Network Energy have received local recognition as a result. In addition, in 1994, to recognize Lucent's contribution to the environment the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency presented the company with an award for this innovative pollution prevention project. Summary of Benefits Direct Gas Use . Significant Fuel Cost Savings for Gas User Low Risk, Low Investment for Gas User Lessons Learned Make all players part of the team and secure their buy in. Deal only with established vendors with proven prior experience. Research the history and status of the landfill. Check through EPA that no outstanding violations exist. What is Landfill Gas? Most of the waste we generate ends up in landfills, where it decomposes and produces landfill gas. Landfill gas released into the air smells bad, contributes to local smog, and is an explosion hazard. Additionally, landfill gas is about 50 percent methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global climate change. However, this methane is also a reliable and renewable fuel source that, if not collected, goes to waste. h ~~ ~~~ FI.~R't'I~~R IN1=UFil~lA~'It~N The Landfill Methane Outreach Program (CHOP) is a voluntary program that assists project developers, utilities, landfill owner/operators, energy users, and communities to encourage new landfill gas-to-energy projects. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed a variety of tools (e.g., profiles, fact sheets, project development manuals, software, etc.) to facilitate the development of landfill gas-to-energy projects. Hundreds of landfills across the country are good candidates for a landfill gas-to-energy project.

LMOP Partners Republic Services, Inc., Solar Turbines. Incorporated, We Involved Energies Doing what's right is how SC Johnson operates. For nearly 20 years, SC Johnson's Waxdale plant used landfill gas (LFG) in boilers. In 2003, SC Johnson switched their use of LFG to a 3.2 MW Centaur 40 gas turbine with a heat recovery system from Solar Turbines Incorporated. On Earth Day 2004, SC Johnson, a global leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, continued its commitment to the community by announcing plans for its second gas turbine to be fired on natural gas, but with the capability of using 10 percent LFG. Today, the two turbines provide electricity and most of the steam for the 2.2 million square foot plant. By using waste LFG and recapturing heat that would otherwise be lost in the generation of power, SC Johnson expects to consume significantly less electricity and natural gas. The project's highlights include the following: 6/8/2009 • First consumer products manufacturing facility in the Midwest to produce a substantial amount of its own energy through clean-burning technologies • 3.2 MW and 19,000 pounds of steam per hour per turbine, with an overall efficiency of 70 percent • 50 percent reduction in fossil fuel usage • 17 percent reduction in greenhouse gases in 1 year http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/cogenerationatscj ohnsonso.htm Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles The Waxdale plant, SC Johnson's largest manufacturing operation, was the first facility to pilot EPA's Climate Leader's Initiative. Climate Leaders challenges corporations to make voluntary reductions in their greenhouse gas emissions. Changes at the Waxdale plant helped SC Johnson reduce its U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 24 percent between 2000 and 2005. SC Johnson created an informational video about its cogeneration project, available at http://www.scjohnson.com/environ_mentlcogen.asp.

L.:"C'P Partners Seward County, KS Involved Mixing methane turned out to be a great idea in Seward County, Kansas, where beef, belt buckles; and good old-fashioned persistence are the norm. After early options proved unviable, Seward County explored selling landfill gas (LFG) to a large energy user next door-National Beef. Talks resulted in a unique LFG energy project in which LFG is piped to wastewater lagoons, collected, and burned to produce energy. Seward County's persistence and creativity earned them recognition as LMOP's 2008 Community Partner of the Year. The LFG energy project was awin-win solution for Seward County and National Beef. The packing plant had over 25 acres of open-air lagoons to treat 2.1 million gallons of wastewater per day. The opportunity to reduce odor and capture methane from both the landfill and the lagoons culminated in a project to cover the lagoons with a floating high- density polyethylene (HDPE) cover. Seventy (70) scfm of LFG travels 1,500 feet from the landfill to a lagoon, where the piping penetrates the HDPE cover system and feeds the LFG underwater through a 300-foot perforated pipe. The combined gas from the lagoon and the landfill is trapped by the floating HDPE cover and is recovered to fuel boilers at National Beef. http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/sewardcountyandnationalbe.htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 The Seward County Landfill project's highlights include the following: .

To help solve this problem, the city installed a landfill gas (LFG) collection and flare system. Cargill, Inc., the landfill's neighbor that processes oilseed, recognized the energy potential and approached the city about using LFG in their boilers. The partners collaborated to develop adirect-use LFG energy (LFGE) project, showing the success that can come from public-private coiiaboration. The project's highlights include: . The LFGE project generated revenue for the City of Fargo and reduced Cargill's energy costs, emissions, and dependence on natural gas. . Over the next 20 years Cargill will completely replace natural gas with LFG. The project was a successful, cooperative effort between the City of Fargo and Cargill. The City of Fargo financed the installation of the LFG collection system and the two split the cost of the 1.5-mile pipeline. Cargill financed installation of dual-fuel burners and the new control system. The city will recover its capital expense through the sale of LFG.

Conferences International Activities Frequent Questions Green Power Hanover County, VA Paint Evaporator Project Self Developed (absence of third party developer What do you do with a relatively low flow of landfill gas from a closed landfill? You get creative! In Hanover County, Virginia, county staff were determined to use gas from their 35-acre landfill in a beneficial way, even though there appeared to be no viable options available. They developed a unique application of landfill gas that addressed the issue of a large number of water- based paints brought to the landfill. Although the county accepts paint cans at its six solid waste convenience centers, a significant amount are recovered from the incoming waste at its Route 301 Transfer Station. With the transfer station adjacent to the closed landfill, staff saw an opportunity to utilize the existing landfill gas flare. Staff designed a burner system to evaporate the paint to a hardened powder that can be deposited in the landfill. The burner system uses the existing landfill gas flare as its base component. A grate system is mounted above the shielded base. Up to 12 the paint cans of water-based paints are placed on the grate. After approximately 6 hours, becomes a dry hardened powder that can be deposited in the transfer station when cool.

At its South Carolina assembly plant, BMW uses gas from Waste Management's Palmetto Landfill to fuel four gas turbine cogeneration units (4.4 MW capacity) and recovers 72 MMBtu/hr of hot water. The turbines fulfill about 25 percent of the plant's electrical needs and nearly all of its thermal needs. For these outstanding "green" efforts, BMW was awarded LMOP's 2003 Project of the Year. With excess LFG available and a continued desire to go "green," BMW turned to the largest consumer of energy in the entire plant: the paint shop. Employing Durr Systems, the. original designer of the paint shop, BMW converted equipment to burn LFG and still had enough excess LFG to burn in one of three boiler systems. This effort earned BMW Manufacturing recognition as LMOP's 2006 Energy Partner of the Year. 6/8/2009 http://www.epa. gov/landfill/proj /prof/profile/bmwmanufacturinglandfillg.htm I/nvironmental Protection Agency - LMUY: LrU Lnergy Yro~ect Yrotlles rage ~ or ~ The project's highlights include: • Nearly 70 percent of BMW's energy consumption comes from LFG. • World's first automotive paint shop to integrate use of LFG. in process equipment. • A 9.5-mile pipeline crosses a river, two creeks, an interstate, and BMW's test track, delivering about 4,800 scfm of filtered and dehydrated landfill gas. • Protection from rising and fluctuating natural gas prices over a 20-year contract. • According to BMW, a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to driving 105 million miles per year, or more than 4,000 times around the earth. Former EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman, who attended the 2003 project's grand opening, stated, "This is a win-win for everyone. It yields significant amounts of clean energy. And, by avoiding 55,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year, it results in cleaner, healthier air for everyone to breathe." This LFG energy project allows BMW to take a wasted source of energy and use it to generate electricity, which benefits the environment and area residents through lower emissions. -Dr. Helmut Leube, President, BMW Manufacturing Ca Durr Systems and BMW should be congratulated for implementing one of the most ambitious landfill gas energy projects in North America.

With a new microturbine cogeneration system on campus, students see firsthand how to save money and help the environment. At 180 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm), landfill gas (LFG) is pumped from the adjacent H.O.D. Landfill (a former Superfund site) to twelve Capstone microturbines. This powerful project earned LMOP's Project of the Year in 2003. The microturbines provide heat and power to the 262,000 square foot high school, making it the first school in the United States to be heated and powered using LFG. The system produces enough electricity (360 kW) to sell excess to ComEd, while recovering heat from the microturbines to heat the school. The school expects to save more than $100,000 in energy costs every year. Taking only 18 months from grant application to completion, the project shows how diverse parties can come together to succeed. http://v<,ww.epa. gov/landfill/proj /prof/profile/antiochcommunityhighschoo.htm 6/8/2009 ~~ N j S ~ i.MIDP A1AlAVft[3 WINNER ,.

LMOP Partners D T E Biomass Energy, Honeywell, Waste ivianagement, inc. I I Involved I At 23 miles, the WM-to-Honeywell pipeline could be the longest dedicated landfill gas (LFG) pipeline in the world. To cover the distance, developers navigated approval of three municipalities and seven agencies, acquired 10 miles of private right-of-way, and installed the pipeline during unprecedented rains-and that was after convincing the Virginia legislature to allow LFG to be sold in Virginia. Once LFG arrived at Honeywell, engineers faced a new challenge. The LFG, which contains oxygen, when mixed with an existing hydrogen-containing fuel stream, could create a potentially explosive mixture. Engineers spent 11 weeks on a supercomputer to define operating parameters. Finally, they installed a monitoring system that automatically shuts off the system if the mixture is too oxygen-rich. The project's highlights include the following: • Contains 23-mile pipeline-could be longest dedicated LFG pipeline in world. • Has LFG capacity of 14,000 scfm. . Connects one of the largest landfills east of the Mississippi River to the largest natural gas consumer east of the Mississippi River. • Displaces about 15 percent of natural gas consumption. .

Inc. sprung to action. The independently-owned company, a specialist in landfill gas (LFG). extraction, recognized a great opportunity to use, rather than flare, the LFG. They approached the nearby International Truck and Engine assembly plant about using LFG as fuel. No stranger to innovative environmentally beneficial projects, International liked the idea. Working with Springfield Gas, they replaced natural gas with LFG to fire process paint ovens, hot water boilers, and other plant units. By the project's end, LMOP recognized International as 2001 Energy .Partner of Year. The project's highlights include: • First ever use of LFG in the radiant heat surface. coatings. . Educates the community about the environmental and economic benefits of LFG. As the project's developer, Springfield Gas faced considerable challenges. The company had to obtain property access for pipeline construction and the rights to the gas-which was no easy task. Local citizens already had united to oppose a newly proposed landfill at the same location. They voiced concerns about reported groundwater contamination, an explosion in a nearby well pump house, and other public health issues. http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/internationalsspringfield.htm Environmental Protection Agency- LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 To address these concerns, International and Springfield Gas launched an intense community outreach program to describe the energy partnership and the potential community benefits to area residents. They held public meetings, mailed. fact sheets, and even visited citizens. in each of the project's five proposed pipeline routes. The companies' efforts paid off. After gaining support in the community and resolving .permitting issues with the State, and more than five years after Springfield Gas and International initially sat down, the project started up in 2002.

Natural gas quality landfill gas (LFG) energy projects are usually. limited to landfills with large amounts of gas, but not in Johnson. City, Tennessee. There, a relatively low LFG flow has turned into an award-winning pipeline quality LFG energy project. Apublic- private partnership utilized technology that proved to be a viable alternative to a regular electricity or high Btu project. The pl-oject's innovation, extensive outreach, and success earned it recognition as a 2007. LMOP Project of the Year. The project supplies nearly high Btu LFG to the Mountain Home Energy Center (MHEC). Because the gas is of such high quality, no burner modifications were required, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in retrofit costs. By burning LFG, the MHEC can supply 100,000 Ib/hr of steam, 7.5 megawatts of power, and chilled water to a Veterans Administration hospital, several East Tennessee State University buildings, and a large civic center. http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/irisglenlandfillgasenergy.htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 The project utilizes several technologies to produce a gas that is clean, dry, and free of ~ siloxanes and volatile organic compounds: . SulfaTreat system removes hydrogen sulfide. A 40-foot shipping container was modified to house 100,000 lbs. of clean-up media. Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) unit operates on much lower pressure than traditional PSA systems. . Air Liquid-MEDAL's membrane separation system removes 98 percent of the carbon dioxide and approximately half of the remaining oxygen. A 22,000 foot pipeline was constructed along a city right-of-way that passed through dense residential development. Johnson City launched a public awareness campaign including meetings, newspaper articles, and door hangers to keep citizens along the pipeline informed. Today, the city and Waste Management operate an educational center at the landfill. Storyboards show visitors how LFG is generated, collected, and processed into nearly high Btu gas for steam and power generation. Last Updated: 8/18/2008 :• ~. BACK 7C7 T~,~ ;:?.

LMOP Partners CH2M Hill, Jenkins Brick, Perennial Energy, Veolia ES Solid Involved Waste, Inc. For the first time, a major U.S. manufacturing facility has been sited and built in proximity to a landfill specifically to use the landfill gas as fuel. The new Jenkins Brick Company's manufacturing plant (the Jordan Plant) in Leeds, Alabama, will use landfill gas to fuel its kilns, satisfying 40 percent of the plant's energy needs initially, with 100 percent. projected in 10 years as the landfill grows. The Jenkins Brick Company, headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, has been using clean-burning landfill gas to fuel its Montgomery brick plant since 1998. The success of this project convinced Jenkins to build its next manufacturing facility to take advantage of local landfill gas. Jenkins Brick is one of only three brick manufacturers currently using this technology in the United States. The Jordan Plant uses landfill gas obtained through a 6.5-mile-long pipeline that connects the plant to the Veolia Environmental Services Star Ridge Landfill. By firing its kilns with captured landfill gas, the company substantially downgrades the impact of landfill gas on 6/8/2009 http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/j enkinsbrickj ordanplantla.htm Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 global warming, reduces America's demand for fossil fuels, and uses an otherwise wasted alternative energy source while realizing economic benefits. In 1998 the Jenkins Brick Company transitioned its Montgomery Plant kilns from full reliance on natural gas to obtaining the majority of its power from landfill gas. With the Montgomery Plant conversion, the company was able to realize cost savings while helping the City of Montgomery control their landfill gas emissions. For its efforts, the Jenkins Brick Company was awarded the Alabama Governor's Conservation Achievement Award for Air Conservationist of the Year in 1999 and 2007 and LMOP's Project of the Year in 2006. Jenkins Brick is committed to helping protect the environment. While incorporating the landfill gas capability to the Jordan Plant added $4 million to its capital cost, the company expects to realize significant savings in fuel costs as a result. Founded in the late 1800s, Jenkins Brick Company manufactures and distributes brick and associated products, employing approximately 500 people across the Southeast. Now in its fifth generation of family-owned leadership, Jenkins Brick Company has operation facilities in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina.

With a closed 150-acre municipal landfill next door, ALZA proposed to the city of Mountain View, California a landfill gas (LFG) energy project that would use LFG to heat and power ALZA's research and development facilities. The city agreed and entered a 15-year contract to sell the LFG. Developers attribute success to developing a relationship with the city of Mountain View, whose city council agreed the. project was a high priority. Plus, ALZA was able to secure internal approval in less than five weeks, largely because it had sought buy-in from within Johnson & Johnson, its parent company. The project's highlights include the following: • 1.25-mile pipeline connects Shoreline Landfill to ALZA • 15-year contract for purchase of LFG • $2.5 million grant from Pacific Gas & Electric ALZA estimates the project will save 16 million pounds per year of carbon dioxide emissions through avoided electricity and natural gas consumption, thus accounting for over 70 percent of its annual GHG reduction target.

Annual energy savings equate to heating 2,900 homes. Estimated emissions reductions of 0.0291 million metric tons of carbon equivalents. Fred Weber, Inc., a large construction company near St. Louis, Missouri, operates and manages several quarries, an asphalt plant, and a landfill. Since 1992, the Fred Weber Sanitary Landfill has collected the landfill gas (LFG) from the landfill and used it for its asphalt plant burner and concrete ready mix plant boiler. The remainder of the gas was flared. Pattonville High School is located less than a mile from the landfill, and the school's. ecology club took the initiative to suggest that the school board look into using the LFG as an alternative fuel for its boilers. After feasibility studies and an economic analysis, the school board determined that the projected cost savings were worthwhile. In 1997, Fred Weber partnered with Pattonville High School to develop a LFG energy project. The project's highlights include: . Generates awareness of and demand for renewable energy. Prevents greenhouse gas emissions. • Promotes public-private cooperation. Provides significant fuel cost savings. The school received a $150,000 loan from Missouri Department of Natural Resources and a $25,000 grant from the St. Louis County Solid Waste Commission. Fred Weber invested an additional $220,000 for the pipeline construction, for a total cost of $395,000. The recovered LFG fuels the school's boilers, saving the school about $27,000 annually, depending on the market value of natural gas. At this rate the school has been able to recover its cost. However, since Fred Weber gives the LFG to the school district for free, Fred Weber's investment will not be recovered, at least not financially. http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/fredweberpattonvillehighs.htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles ~~;ft4 a 5 rq ~~ ~~~ ~ , ' '~ .~, - .. ~~ ~~*'~t1v~,t"~~ Methane Home LMOP Home Basic infarmation Rccamplishments Energy Projects and Candidate Landfills Benefits of LFG Energy Partners Jain the Program Documents, Tools & Resources Newsroom Workshops/ Conferences International Activities Frequent Questions Green Power Page 1 of 2 t~,$.

LMOP Partners Caterpillar, Horizon LFG, Innovative Energy Systems, Involved Republic Services No matter how you slice it, landfill gas saves energy costs for HZGro. After a pilot project proved viable, HZGro Greenhouses expanded its greenhouse acreage by 15 fold. Engine heat is captured to heat greenhouses where more than 10,000 pounds of red, juicy, hot-house tomatoes are produced every day. Due to low heating costs, the greenhouse operates year-round. A computer-controlled climate ensures ~-~ " -~ ~+ ~y~ excellent growing conditions for the ..~` _,~„ ~ ~" hydroponic tomatoes. Recirculated water (2,500 gallons) is heated by a jacket heat exchanger, then an exhaust heat exchanger, reaching 220 degrees Fahrenheit and providing 31 million Btu of heat per hour. In addition, the engine-generator sets produce enough electricity to power the greenhouses, with excess power sold to the grid. The project's highlights include the following: • Original 2001 project had seven Caterpillar G3516englne-generator sets; expansion in 2006 added four Caterpillar 3520 engines . 2005 Environmental Excellence Award from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation .

LMOP Partners CPL Systems, Inc., Prince George's County, Toro Energy, Involved Waste Management, Inc. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to appreciate the benefits of landfill gas (LFG), but it doesn't hurt. Scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center jumped at a proposal by Toro Energy to reduce energy use in an environmentally sound manner without increasing operating expenses. Toro proposed to pipe LFG from a nearby landfill to use as fuel to heat the campus' buildings. With the project's launch in 2003, the GSFC became the first federal facility to burn LFG to meet energy needs. LFG provides 100 percent of the foci-ity's heating needs 95 percent of the time, saving the facility (and taxpayers) more than $3.5 million in energy costs over the next decade. The project's highlights include the following: • 5.5-mile pipeline connects Sandy Hill Landfill to NASA. • Two boilers converted to burn LFG initially, plus a third one. later. • Sophisticated control system allows boilers to burn fuel oil, natural gas, or LFG • LFG produces steam to heat 31 buildings on the 1,270-acre NASA campus. The project's launch also brought significant attention to NASA from top administrators. In a ribbon-cutting ceremony, both the EPA Administrator and NASA Administrator applauded http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/nasagoddardspaceflightcen.htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 the project's success. Understanding and protecting our home planet is one of NASA's key missions. NASA monitors and studies our planet from our unique vantage point in space, and our Earth Sciences Enterprise also looks for ways to improve the quality of life on Earth. This project directly benefits the Earth by removing a significant amount of methane, a greenhouse gas, from the environment. We use this energy, virtually pollution-free, for power Hopefully, projects like these will demonstrate the clean, efficient, cost-effective use of renewable sources of energy. -Sean O'Keefe, former NASA Administrator It is very encouraging that a large federal institution like NASA is using a local landfill as a source of renewable energy. This project at Goddard Space Flight Center demonstrates how the federal government can lead the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and utilizing alternative energy sources. These efforts should be applauded. -Christie Todd Whitman, former EPA Administrator Last Updated: 8/18/2008. ,, E~AGK TO "r~_~' .r''.

Not the largest of The Solae Company's food-ingredient manufacturing plants. Solae invested several iiiiiilon doiicarS to reCOnfigt.ire itS soy-based food ingredient plant in Memphis to burn landfill gas (LFG) in three boilers, thus taking advantage of a renewable energy source and displacing nearly a quarter of its natural gas consumption. To make the project work, Solae formed apublic-private partnership with Allied Waste, Memphis Light Gas ~ and Water (MLGW), and CPL Systems. The project took only one year from proposal to startup. CPL Systems worked with Allied Waste to increase gas recovery at Allied's South Shelby Landfill and automate control of LFG between the flares and the pipeline. MLGW did its pan` by installing a 5-mile, 12" HDPE line in just 91 days. The project's highlights include the following: • Blowers and gas control equipment rated at 5,000 scfm and designed to handle increasing LFG flows over the next 25 years. • Real time process, equipment, and LFG utilization data are available through a computer-control system for monitoring and off-site correction. • Continuous control equipment adjusts the flow of LFG to the boilers, seamlessly transitioning fuel flow in as little as 30 seconds. • Nitrogen oxides reductions of 75 percent. http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/solaedirectuseproj ect.htm 6/8/2009 ~''. ~~ Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 The conversion realizes the goal of less reliance on fossil fuels, coupled with long-term cost savings.

LMOP Partners Ash Grove Cement Company, Metro, Palmer Capital Involved Corporation The power of partnerships led to the success of the St. John's Landfill project in Portland, Oregon. Metro, a regional planning authority then known as Portlahd Metro, joined forces with Portland Landfill Gas Joint Venture Partners, a group comprising Ash Grove Cement Company and Palmer Capital, to make afirst-of-its-kind landfill gas energy (LFGE) project a reality. This innovative project was named LMOP Project of the Year in 1998. Portland Landfill Gas Joint Venture Partners pipes landfill gas (LFG) from St. John's Landfill to Ash Grove's Rivergate lime plant. Prior to completion of the St. John's Landfill project, the kilns were fueled by natural gas and recycled fossil fuels. Utilizing LFG posed an opportunity for Kansas-based Ash Grove Cement to lower utility costs and reduce emissions. The project's highlights include the following: • First time use of LFG as sole power source for lime kilns. • Lower utility costs and lower emissions. • Stable, competitively-priced fuel source. Until Portland Landfill Gas Joint Venture Partners approached Metro, methane generated by the landfill was collected and flared on site, allowing a valuable, renewable energy resource go to waste. It takes a lot of energy to fire our kilns, but the 77, 000 therms per day produced by the St. John's project is enough to power the kilns 24 hours a 6/8/2009 http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/stj ohnslandfill.htm Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 day.

Annual energy savings equate to heating 2,300 homes. Estimated emissions reductions of 0.0224 million metric tons of carbon equivalents. Jay Alexander, General Manager of the Clinton County Solid Waste Authority (the Authority), thought there must a better way to control the gas generated by the Wayne Township Landfill. Approximately 12 million British thermal units of heat an hour (MMBtu/hr) were being flared. Because his landfill was approved to accept waste through 2016 and landfill gas (LFG) production would continue to increase, Mr. Alexander looked for a way to flare less LFG, raise revenues, and at the same time support his community. He didn't have to look far. The landfill borders Jersey Shore Steel (JSS). He knew from Dave Keister, the JSS plant engineer, that JSS burned significant amounts of fuel in their furnace to reclaim railroad steel. But, would a project be financially feasible, especially if LFG had to cross the Susquehanna River? Mr. Alexander enlisted the support of Mr. Keister, and together, they figured out how to save money for JSS and reduce the costs for the Authority's waste customers. The project's highlights include: • In 1999, the Authority built a LFG pre-treatment system to compress, filter, and de- waterthe LFG and built a 2.5-mile pipeline to JSS. The pre-treated LFG is carried 1,000 feet across the river on the old railroad bridge, which the Authority was able to use for $1. • In 1999, JSS installed the necessary piping, valves, and controls and began a trial to use 12 MMBtu/hr of LFG in the pre-heat zone of their furnace. • In 2000, JSS revamped the mill and installed a new Bricmont three-zone reheat furnace, rated at 55 MMBtu/hr. The new furnace originally included equipment to fire LFG on one zone at 12 MMBtu/hr, but by 2002, JSS had modified the burners in all zones, and was firing 24 MMBtu/hr of LFG. http: //www. epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/waynetownshiplandfillgase.htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 • In 2003, JSS asked Bricmont Furnace to design aLFG/natural gas blending station. This system uses the LFG first, up to the current supply of 970 scfm, and adds natural gas as needed to match production requirements. Both the Authority and JSS have benefited financially. The Authority has been well rewarded with the new revenue stream. To make the project financially feasible for JSS, the Authority set the JSS price at 70 percent of the price of natural gas. When the natural gas market rose dramatically in 2002, the Authority capped the price at approximately $5.50 per MMBtu, saving JSS even more. This project is a credit to the late Paul W. Reeder, Jay Alexander, the Authority's Board of Directors, as well as Jack and Peter Schultz, owners of JSS. Its success is the result of "forward thinking" people approaching the project with a "let's make it happen" attitude.

LMOP Partners Caterpillar, Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Involved. Authority (Authority), Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP), PPL Corporation, SCS Engineers and SCS Field Services What do you get when you partner a Pennsylvania manufacturer, a methane gas generator, and an energy company? The "perfect partnership," according to PPL Energy Services. The largest renewable energy partnership in Lancaster County extends the development of renewable energy by three parties who balance the needs of the public and the environment in a beneficial way. Each partner stepped up to make the project happen. The Authority voluntarily installed 20,000 feet of piping, tying together the collection systems of co-located landfills. Two Caterpillar 3520 engines, installed and operated by PPL and fueled by landfill gas (LFG), generate 3,200 kilowatts of electricity. Boilers capture heat from the engines, generating steam for Turkey Hill Dairy-the well known maker of ice cream, milk, and tea. products. The project's highlights include the following.: . Steam to Turkey Hill Dairy offsets 225,000 gallons (80 percent) of diesel fuel. . Completed in 10 months to enable Section 45 tax credits. http://www.epa. gov/landfill/proj /prof/profile/lancastercountylfgenergyp.htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 Will generate power for the next 25 years. Y ? ~ As a member of the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), the Authority is voluntarily making a legally. binding. commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by six percent by 2010, using 2006 as a baseline. The Authority is the first public environmental services organization in the United States to become a member of the CCX-the world's first voluntary, legally binding, multi-sector market for reducing and trading greenhouse gas credits. The partnership between PPL, Turkey Hill Dairies, and the Lancaster County Solid Waste Authority is a perfect example of three organizations coming together for the common good. -former Rep.

LMOP Partners Chester County Solid Waste Authority, Granger Involved ElectriGEnergy, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP) This 2005 LMOP Project of the Year is the first Pennsylvania landfill gas (LFG) energy project to serve multiple customers. In a year-long process, developers successfully petitioned to serve multiple customers, as well as to have LFG not be considered "natural gas," which would have been regulated by the public utility. But even with a successful ruling, the work had only just begun. c;onstructlon of a ~ ~-mne plpeune posea many challenges. The route encompassed both active and. former railroad lines that traverse farms, parks, commercial and residential developments, and a historic community. Many environmental and construction permits had to be acquired. Plus, land easements along the railroad were complicated by century-old deed restrictions and land rights. In the end, the completed pipeline crosses over 75 land easements and 35 roads en route to its customers. The project's highlights include the following: Dart Container uses LFG for 100 percent of its fuel needs, firing nine boilers, two 6/8/2009. http://www. epa. gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/lanchesterlandfillgasener.htm Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 thermal oxidizers, and two ovens. Landfill gas is utilized to provide all the electricity '~ r needed to treat and transport the gas, making this aself-reliant project. • Advanced Food Products uses LFG in its three boilers. L&S Sweeteners uses LFG in one boiler. • Public/private partnership between Chester County Solid Waste Authority and Granger Energy overcame economic and technical difficulties. • Project created over 100 temporary construction jobs and purchased materials locally, contributing millions of dollars to local economy. • A $235,000 Energy Harvest Grant from PaDEP helped purchase an engine to generate electricity needed to treat and transport the gas. . Almost no federal tax credits were used as part of the revenue stream. Granger Energy installed two independent systems that monitor LFG flow in real time. A dedicated communication line provides uninterrupted communication between the LFG processing facility and its customers. The system ensures pressure and flow to Dart Container, the landfill's primary customer, who is at the end of the LFG pipeline.

Mallinckrodt, the world's largest producer of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in many headache remedies, recognized the opportunity to team with its neighbor to the west, the North Wake Solid Waste Landfill. The project's highlights include: • Generates clean, renewable energy. Prevents greenhouse gas emissions. • Generates awareness and demand for renewable energy. DTE Biomass Energy owns, operates, and maintains the boiler and Mallinckrodt purchases steam over a 15-20 year contract at a negotiated price. With a successful relationship already established, Mallinckrodt converted one of its existing natural gas-fired boilers to combust a mixture of LFG and natural gas in 2006, increasing LFG usage to approximately 1,250 scfm.

LMOP Partners Involved CROMECO, Inc., MARS North America When the price of natural gas skyrocketed, MARS Snackfood US (MARS) turned to landfill gas (LFG). For MARS, the use of LFG is expected to save $600,000 per year, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For its willingness to learn about the benefits of LFG energy and then educate and promote LFG usage to the community, its suppliers, and customers, LMOP recognized MARS as a 2008 Energy Partner of the Year. During the late 1990s, CROMECO, Inc. approached MARS about an opportunity to utilize the LFG collected at the City of Waco's landfill. However, the company was hesitant for a number of reasons, including whether there was sufficient return to justify the capital costs and how the public would perceive using LFG in the manufacture of food. products. With no outlet to sell the LFG, CROMECO installed electrical generation equipment and sold the power to a power developer. However, by 2005 the cost for natural gas had greatly increased and more LFG was being collected from the landfill, which changed the economics of the project. Knowing that the LFG had greater economic value when directly used in boilers due to improved energy efficiency, CROMECO and MARS initiated discussions. again. This time the talks resulted http: //www. epa. gov/landfill/proj /prof/pro file/marssnackfoodusandthecity. htm 6/8/2009 Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 of 2 " in a sales contract and development of a b-mile pipeline to transport the LFG to the plant. On May 13, 2008, more than 100 people celebrated the project team's hard work to bring the project to fruition.. EPA Region 6 Administrator. Richard E. Greene joined MARS officials during a ceremonial button push to start the company's first LFG energy project.. An EPA press_release. is available from Region 6. The project's highlights include the following: • LFG replaces 60 percent of the plant's total boiler fuel requirements • MARS spent less than $1 million to build new pipes on-site and to retrofit its boilers • The City of Waco Landfill is expected to provide gas to MARS for 25 years Interviews and media tours resulted in favorable newspaper and television coverage. Stories rippled through regional and Internet media for weeks, further educating the public on the value of using this alternative fuel source. MARS. also presented the success of its project at several national conferences, including ones hosted by Pew Center for Climate Change and NAEM, an association for environmental managers. Turning waste. into energy is a smart strategy for business and the environment. EPA is pleased to be working with partners like Mars on innovative projects like this one that deliver clean, renewable sources of energy. -Richard E.
