APPENDIX "A" <br />DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT <br />1. LOCATION <br />As shown on Exhibit "At°, Vicinity Map, the City of Stockton Austin <br />Road Waste Disposal Site is located on the west side of Austin Road, north of <br />Little John Creek, approximately 8,000 feet south of Arch Road. The proposed <br />engine generator site will be located near the northwest corner of the Disposal <br />Site approximately 5,000 feet west of Austin Road (see Exhibit t0B", Location and <br />Development Plan). Access to the site is available via a private roadway which <br />connects to Austin Road on the north side of Little John Creek. <br />2. OBJECTIVE <br />To develop landfill methane gas in sufficient quantities to serve as a <br />source of fuel to power an internal combustion engine which will drive an 800 -KW <br />electric generator which will produce electric power for sale to the local <br />serving utility company (Pacific Gas & Electric Company, P.G.&E.). <br />3. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT <br />As shown on Exhibit "B°`, the methane gas will be developed by drilling <br />a series of extraction wells on the Waste Disposal Site. The extracted gas will <br />be collected and delivered to the engine generator site through a piping network <br />called the gas gathering system. The gas gathering system will operate at a <br />slight vacuum which will mitigate any fire hazard. Development of the methane <br />gas will progress in stages as the City of Stockton progresses in the landfill <br />development of the total site. It is hoped that sufficient volumes of methane <br />gas will be available to extend the life of the project for approximately twenty <br />(20) years. The actual life expectancy can be calculated only after several <br />years of operating experience. <br />A/1 <br />
