March 2009
- An
estimated 2,008,800 cubic feet of landfill gas removed and treated
in March.
- An estimated 1,113,573 gallons of contact water (water that has seeped through the landfill
and accumulated underneath the landfill) and well water were removed
and treated in March.
- During the month of March, backup perimeter monitors were obtained from
Detection Instruments and the perimeter monitors owned by APAC were sent
in for service and calibration. (The perimeter monitors are not part of
the alarm system.) The loaner monitors were replaced with the newly
serviced monitors owned by APAC. All of the original monitors are now
in place and operational.
-
During the month of March, 0.01 ppm of hydrogen sulfide was detected at
the North, Northeast and Southeast perimeter monitors between 3:47 a.m.
and 7:09 a.m. on March 15. At that time the general wind direction in
the area was to the north. This is the day that a separation was
detected and repaired in one of the water lines from the dewatering well
to the lower pond area.
- Semiannual sampling of perimeter ground water wells was conducted
in March. The report will be submitted to KDHE in April
