Mr. Don Litchfield October 8, 2010 Page 5 located at LFG Extraction Well Nos. DEW-92,FOFU05-01,FOFU05-02,FUFO05-03, FOFU05-13 and the LFG pipeline between GP-25 and TP-10,restoring operations and subsequently reducing slightly elevated oxygen concentrations observed at the LFG BFS. Also on September 14, 2010, SCS temporarily repaired the age deteriorated control valves located at LFG Extraction Well Nos. DEW-33 and DEW-.4, resting normal operation. Finally, SCS routinely conducts a pressure drop survey(i.e., measurement of main pipeline pressure at various points throughout the LFG collection system)and an inspection of the Condensate Sump liquid handling systems. The results of this survey and inspection indicated that no major restrictions within the LFG collection system currently exist. All accessible extraction wells are receiving adequate vacuum and the condensate handling system remains functional (Tables 2 and the attached sump counter information). LFG BLOWER/FLARE STATION ( BFS) Visual observations and testing of the LFG BFS was conducted on September 1, 3, 7, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 28,29 and 30, 2010. 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 3,4 and 5. SCS understands the BFS operated as programmed throughout the reporting period,with the exceptions noted below. • On September 1, 6, 27, 29 and 30, 2010, SCS was notified that the LFG BFS had shutdown attributed to a pre-programmed ultraviolet system shutdown. SCS reset necessary controls,restarted the BFS and verified normal operation. • On September 23,2010, SCS responded to a Automatic Dialer System notification of a BFS Alarm. Upon arrival, SCS observed that both LFG Flares, FL-100 and FL-150,were in operation. SCS understands that others were on site performing calibration to the LFG flowmeters. SCS shutdown LFG Flare FL-150 and left FL-100 in operation. SCS verified normal operation prior to departure. In July 2010, SCS performed additional quarterly Hydrogen Sulfide (112 S)monitoring as required by the SJVAPCD. Dragger tube results indicated that 20 and 25 parts per million (ppm) H2S were detected, respectively. The next required quarterly testing is scheduled to be performed by the month of December 2010. On September 1, 2010, SCS changed the air regulator for the flare inlet actuator valve, restoring regular operation. Also, on September 23, 2010, SCS performed monthly BFS Condensate Storage Tank Carbon Vent VOC breakthrough testing. Photo Ionization Detector(PID)results indicated that 3 parts per million (ppm) VOC's were detected at the inlet and outlet of the carbon vent.
