A landfill gas to energy (LFGTE)plant operated in the northeast portion of the project site by Ameresco.The LFGTE converts landfill gas, a waste byproduct of landfill operations,into a useful energy source that would otherwise be destroyed through flaring without any beneficial reuse.The LFGTE plant produces approximately 4.2 MW of energy,enough to power approximately 6,000 to 8,000 single family homes every day. Ameresco is planning an upgrade to the existing LFGTE facility to meet PG&E's Rule 21 pipeline quality requirements for renewable natural gas from landfills.The process would treat gas that is compressed to around 100 to 200 psig.The process would remove COv Nv OZ and other trace constituents to increase the quality of the landfill gas. It is currently anticipated that the equipment required for this upgrade process would be located in the region of the former Covanta LFGTE plant,which was located near the western property boundary just south of the realigned north creek.The operational need for the LFGTE upgrade is independent of the proposed expansion.
