The <br />following items were discussed: <br />1. The progress to date includes: <br />a. The gas quantities have been calculated based on landfill records. <br />b. Lab results ~ of gas samples have been received. No major issues identified- the <br />contaminant levels looked very low. No siloxane or sulfur treatment will be required. A copy <br />of the results is attached to these notes. <br />c. The cost models have been advanced. <br />d. Preliminary pipe sizing and equipment selection/pricing for Prime Movers has been <br />completed. <br />2. Based on the preliminary data, it is estimated an 8" to 12" gas main will be required from the landfill <br />site to the point of use at UNC. Routing paths and costs are still being investigated. <br />3. The preliminary analysis is based on a Cat engine with an output rating of 815 Kvv. <br />4. A preliminary economic analysis was distributed showing capital costs and yearly O&M costs. The <br />analysis showed that Options 1 and 3 are the most attractive since there is limited thermal load <br />available for Option 2 at this time. <br />5. It was agreed that some type of carbon reduction verification needs to be included for all options. <br />For this to be certified, an annual cost of about $20k is expected. This needs to be included in the <br />economic model <br />
