The following items were discussed: <br />1. A draft copy of the landfill gas feasibility study has been completed by RSG and was distributed to <br />the County for review. Note that the capital costs have been updated to reflect a greater level on <br />instrumentation on the equipment at the landfill and the pipeline cost have been updated to reflect a <br />more circuitous routing path along DOT highways. <br />2. The economic model was reviewed. It was noted that four major risks impact the project. These <br />are: <br />a. Over estimation of MFG quantity <br />b. Failure of a carbon compliance market to be established <br />c. Spikes in NG pricing <br />d. Overrun of estimated capital costs <br />3. The most recent model was run with the following assumptions: <br />a. LFG quantity matches estimates in feasibility study . <br />b. Carbon compliance market starts in 2012 and carbon credit price is per Nicholas Institute <br />projections <br />Page 3 of 15 <br />
