UNC will set up a meeting with the Cogen personnel to discuss use of the landfill gas at the Cogen <br />site. Although this has the longest pipe run, it is a location where the LFG can be fully utilized <br />immediately to offset coal consumption in the boilers. <br />5'. RSG will investigate other sources of income for the project. The following were discussed: <br />a. Grants- REPI program (Renewable Energy production Incentive). This is a federal program <br />that may possibly offer some grant money for the project. <br />b. Golden Leaf Foundation -not likely as this is typically tied to job creation. <br />c. It was decided that a special appropriation from the State Legislature is not likely for this <br />project, based on UNC's experience with the 01NASA reclaimed water system. <br />6. The final Agreement was discussed in general. It was decided that the Agreement would need to <br />define the following items: <br />a. Ownership and operation of equipment at landfill site (Flare, clean-up equipment, <br />compressors, etc.) <br />b. Access and easements at landfill site <br />c. Who is responsible for purchase and installation of the gas collection and flare system at the <br />landfill? <br />d. Permitting responsibilities <br />e. Timeline for implementation <br />f. Who retains carbon credits and how are they valued? <br />7. The next meeting is scheduled for February 21st at 10:30 am. <br />These minutes represent our best understanding of the discussions held and decisions reached at the <br />meeting.
