Ms. Christina Carbajal March 31, 2006 Page 4 Finally, during this reporting period, temperatures at LFG extraction wells were monitored and observed to range from 58 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit (see Table 3). These temperatures are considered to be in the low to normal range for anaerobic decomposition. SCS will continue to test LFG temperatures at each extraction well on a monthly basis in order to develop a database. This additional information should provide a better understanding of subsurface conditions at the site. LFG Collection System Visual observation of the LFG collection system is conducted twice per month. During these visits, observations are made to ensure no pipe breakages have occurred and condensate drain sumps remain functional. Minor repairs are completed-as required. On February 10 and 14, 2006, SCS performed monitoring of all accessible LFG condensate sumps defined as CSA-2 through 8 and CSF-18 and 19 and recorded the liquid level control pump cycle counters. During this reporting period, Condensate Sump Nos. CSF-9 through 17 were inaccessible due to inclement weather/excessive mud. SCS will resume monitoring these locations as site conditions improve. In addition, during pervious reporting periods, SCS observed and repaired several slight air supply and/or liquid leaks at several LFG condensate sumps. As requested by the Client, SCS has prepared a proposal dated August 5, 2004, and recommends that the existing air and condensate connections be modified to decrease the potential for future separations/air leaks. Finally, SCS routinely conducts a pressure drop survey (i.e., measurement of main pipeline pressure at various points throughout the LFG collection system). The results of this survey indicated that no major restrictions within the LFG collection system currently exist and all accessible extraction wells are receiving adequate vacuum. LFG Blower/Flare Station (BFS) Visual observations and testing of the LFG BFS was conducted on February 10, 14, 17, 26 and 27, 2006. During these visits, operating parameters are monitored and mechanical and electrical components are checked for workability. Throughout the reporting period, the BFS was set to operate continuously. BFS data is shown in Table 4. SCS understands the BFS operated as programmed throughout the reporting period with the exception of the following scheduled and unscheduled shutdowns: ® On February 9, 2006, SCS shutdown the BFS to help condensate to drain from the main pipelines to the sumps, upon completion of these activities,the BFS was restarted and normal operation verified.
