t <br />INFORMATION SHEET <br />PACIFIC LIGHTING ENERGY SYSTEMS <br />AND THE CITY OF STOCKTON <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />Pacific Lighting Energy Systems, under contract with the City of Stockton, <br />operates a methane gas recovery facility at the Austin Road Landfill. Methane <br />gas is collected from the landfill and burned to generate electricity (800 KW). <br />During the collection process, moisture condenses in the pipes and at the plant. <br />Line condensate is distributed back into the landfill via condensation traps, <br />where the condensate can infiltrate the refuse. Plant condensate is pumped back <br />to the landfill and discharged to condensation traps. <br />The Austin Road Landfill is a Class II-2 waste site in Section 3, 171S, R7E, <br />MDB&M. This site is approximately six miles southeast of Stockton, on Austin <br />Road. The site consists of 180 acres, of which 114 are filled. Operations began <br />around 1955. <br />9/05/86:TAC:gs <br />
