Additional environmental bene:lts also accrue troth the green power aspect of this alternative. Because: of the natural tinge dependent decline in LFG generation :rates, the actual development schedule of the Carolina North project is critical in terms of maximizing the available LFG use potential of the Comity's existing landfill facilities. The economics of the .project are driven vy maximizing cogeneration energy production and usage. any delay in the Carolina North development tin~teline beyond the year 2808 could adversely affect the economic feasibility of this option. C~N~LUSIUNS Eubanks l~aad Ca~eneratian Project Based upon the estimated energy demands of potential users, the 1/ubatiks Road project is neat econonuc;ally advantageous to the County at this time (i.e., the estimated costs of producing energy from landfill gas are projected to exceed total energy sales and avoided CUSt5~.
