The detection <br />limit for this instrument is approximately 0.10 percent by volume. Compliance testing for gas <br />monitoring probes is included below. <br /> <br />Gas Monitoring Probe Testing Procedures <br /> <br /> Connect sample tubing, open test valve; observe pressure and record data. <br /> <br /> For probes 20 feet deep or less, turn on sample pump, observe and record methane, oxygen, <br />and carbon dioxide gas concentrations, when readings have stabilized for 30 seconds. <br /> <br /> For probes more than 20 feet deep, turn on sample pump, extract a minimum of one probe <br />volume, observed and record methane, oxygen, and carbon dioxide gas concentrations, when <br />readings have stabilized for 30 seconds. <br /> <br /> Close test valve, disconnect sample instruments and secure sample location. <br /> <br /> <br />GCCS OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE <br /> <br />SCS Engineers (SCS) is contracted by Forward to conduct the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of <br />the GCCS at the Landfill. During the third quarter of 2023, the following O&M activities were <br />conducted: <br /> Quarterly monitoring of LFG probes was conducted; <br /> <br /> Ongoing wellfield monitoring and tuning of the GCCS was performed; <br /> <br /> Inspection of condensate sumps and pumps for proper operations was conducted. Any <br />required maintenance as a result of the inspections was performed; <br /> <br /> There were no known GCCS system failures during the third quarter of 2023. The GCCS <br />operated continuously for 24 hours per day. The flare station experienced standard <br />malfunction, shutdown and startups, but there was no significant downtime; and <br /> <br /> The instantaneous total flow rate of LFG on September 27, 2023, was 1,341 standard cubic <br />feet per minute (scfm) at the LFG-to-energy (LFGTE) facility, 1,480 scfm at Flare A-1, and <br />1,380 scfm at Flare A-2. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
