APAC-Reno installed the final gas well as part of the landfill gas collection system. The pipeline system to connect the gas wells is expected to take 2-3 weeks to construct.

APAC-Reno continues to treat the contact water collected in the lower east pond with hydrogen peroxide and caustic. The west and south seeps continue flowing at 15 gallons per minute each. A meeting is scheduled early next week with the KDHE-Bureau of Water to discuss revisions to the landfill NPDES permit. With a revised National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, APAC-Reno will try and increase flow from the west and south seeps to speed up the dewatering process.

The perimeter air monitoring H2S meters are operating and the data is being collected and downloaded by JCED. The H2S monitors to be placed inside the landfill have been received and are undergoing trial runs with the telemetry system to insure the alarm system works. They should be set next week. No reported problems with perimeter monitors have occurred to date.

The intermediate cover construction continued through Thursday and should be completed early next week covering over the southern landfill areas.
