Week ending January 7, 2006
APAC-Reno has drilled three additional wells as part of the landfill
gas collection system during the past week. 18 landfill gas wells have
been installed to date. APAC is planning to begin construction of the
gas collection system.
APAC-Reno has installed five perimeter air monitors for continuous
air sampling for H2S gas.
JCED is collecting the data from each air monitor and all downloaded
information is shared with the designated agencies. APAC-Reno will
continue to conduct source monitoring with a hand-held H2S monitor until
three additional continuous monitors are installed inside the landfill.
APAC-Reno and their consultant are working with KDHE-Bureau of Water
to manage the contact water within the fill area through the water
discharge permit revision process. The permit is called a NPDES permit
which stands for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.
Sulfide levels in the west seep draining contact water into the lower
east pond continue to decline.
APAC-Reno and their consultant are preparing the hydrogeologic
investigation report and hope to submit the report by mid-January.
The intermediate cover is approximately 70% completed over the south
part of the landfill.
