The Morgan County Regional Landfill and Granger LLC in Lansing, MI have completed the installation of approximately 90 wells and the main supply line to NUCOR Steel. The project has thus far shown to be productive and satisfactory to NUCOR and Granger Energy as well as to the Landfill. The methane is directly injected into NUCOR's furnaces and at this time there have been no significant problems. We are in the early phases of adding approximately 10 more wells to increase production. The success of this project is a direct result of all entities working together.

Existing facility is rated at 2.4 MW and supplies 100% of the electrical power to the County's Correctional Facility in Upper Marlboro, MD. Current consumption of landfill gas is 1,000,000 cfd. The landfill gas extraction system, located at the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill in Upper Marlboro, MD, utilizes 155 landfill gas wells, over a collection area of 150 acres. The LFG is compressed on site, using LFG-fired Sullair compressors, and transports the gas 2.56 miles via pipeline, to the Correctional Facility Complex. Here, the gas is utilized as boiler fuel and engine generator set fuel. The generators, totaling three, are rated at 850 kW, and provide 100% power requirements for all loads of the Correctional Facility. We produce approximately 25% more power than consumed, and this byproduct is sold to Potomac Electric Power Company, for an annual value of $200,000/yr. The total benefit to the County, through avoided costs, is $1,000,000/yr. *Proposed facility is planned.

Lancaster, PA 17604

The Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority, in partnership with PPL Energy Services Holdings, LLC developed a renewable energy project that extracts methane gas from its two landfills, Creswell and Frey Farm. The Creswell LF is inactive, having closed in 1989; its gas collection system is in place with 53 wells placed throughout the site. Gas wells at the currently used Frey Farm LF are installed as the final cap is placed. The site hosts 33 wells with a total of 120 wells expected when the landfill reaches capacity in ~2020. The LFG powers 2 Caterpillar engines that can generate 3,200 kilowatts of power. Waste heat from the exhaust of the engines is used to supply steam via a loop pipeline to the adjacent Turkey Hill Dairy, providing 80% of their energy needs and saving the annual combustion of 240,000 gallons of diesel fuel. LCSWMA has one of the few totally integrated solid waste management systems in Pennsylvania, if not the United States. This helps to assure that the MSW generated is managed in an environmentally safe, reliable, and efficient manner. In addition to the Frey Farm LF, the Authority's integrated system consists of a Resource Recovery Facility, a permanent Household Hazardous Waste facility, and a countywide comprehensive recycling program. Each year, the Authority processes more than 530,000 tons of waste through the facilities and also coordinates recycling programs to achieve a 38% recycling rate. Primarily because of the integrated system, only 20% of the waste volume enters the Frey Farm LF extending its life expectancy about 20 years. No tax dollars are utilized by the Authority. Financing is from tipping fees charged for waste disposal and revenue from the sale of electricity generated by the Resource Recovery Facility.

Southeastern Chester County Refuse Authority (SECCRA), a municipal authority formed in 1968, provides a regional waste management solution for municipal solid waste planning in southern Chester County. SECCRA's current landfill is located in London Grove Township on PA Route 926, between Routes 841 and 41. The SECCRA Community Landfill is relatively small by today's standards, accepting about 450 tons per day of trash from local municipalities. The landfill does not accept waste from outside its service area, nor from out of state. In the past, smaller landfills were overlooked for their potential for electricity generation due to the proportionately larger capital costs and relatively smaller gas generation potential. Currently, SECCRA POWER is in full operation, and is producing almost a megawatt of power from the LFG generated at the SECCRA Community Landfill. Since the project began, recorded methane gas flow rates are in excess of the current capacity for which one engine/generator set is rated. The development of Phase II and the addition of a second engine/generator set will occur in 2008 to convert the maximum amount of methane gas to produce the maximum amount of "green electricity" possible. The project is financially sustainable, and has surpassed expectations.

Georgetown County has not yet developed an LFGE project. In September 1999, a feasibility analysis was performed for a greenhouse/composting facility using LFG, but the county did not pursue the greenhouse project. The county has been investigating other LFGE options; however, due to the landfill's relatively small size, an energy project has not been developed. In 2005, LFGE operations have been pursued again, but no committment has been made at this time.

The first project utilizing LFG as energy was a 3.2 MW engine generator plant that became operational on 1/1/91. A second 3.2 MW engine/generator plant became operational on 1/1/93. The third project, direct thermal use in the Noman Cole WWTP, became operational on 1/1/97. LFG is used to assist in the incineration of municipal sewage sludge, replacing natural gas. Flow to this use is load dependent and varies from .3 mmscfd to 2.01 mmscfd. In March 2005, five standard natural gas infrared heaters (3 units at 80,000 BTU/hr each and two units at 100,000 BTU/hr each) were retrofitted and installed in the maintenance building of the I-95 Landfill. These units replaced two existing 250,000 BTU/hr propane-fired forced air heaters.

Fauquier County operates a landfill with a citizen's drop-off area (plastic, newspapers, glass, light bulbs, textiles, oil, antifreeze, etc.). Leachate that is currently recirculated will be treated in an on-site pretreatment plant (construction is estimated to start on August 1, 2004) prior to discharge to the sanitary sewer. LFG is collected and transported to on-site enginators. Electricity generated by enginators is distributed by PEPCO.

Prince William County owns and operates a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in Independent Hill, VA, approximately 30 miles south of Washington, DC. Landfilling began in 1968, and to date we have landfilled about 5 million tons of MSW. Presently the landfill accepts about 800 tons per day, and the "landfill life" is anticipated through at least 2050. United Gasco/Minnesota Methane (UG/MM), a LFG developer, owns and operates a 1.9 MW landfill gas energy facility (LFGE) at the site. The LFGE facility started up in 1998 and presently consists of about 90 extraction wells and 2 reciprocating internal combustion engines. UG/MM has plans to install additional engines in the near future. Excess LFG is controlled in an enclosed flare.

Brown County, along with US Energy Biogas Corp., is developing a gas to energy facility at each of its 2 landfills. One landfill has been closed since Oct. 96 (West) and the other will be closed in early 2003 (East). Between the 2 sites there will be 6 MW of electricity produced and sold back to Wisconsin Public Service. Estimates are that enough electricity will be produced to fuel 2,000 homes. Projects are estimated to be operational at the end of 2002.
