Unless circumstances dictate otherwise , the Company shall measure and analyze the LFG with the Metering equipment . The Company shall use a flow meter to continuously measure the quantity of LFG delivered by the District to the Delivery Point . The Company shall use a methane analyzer to measure the methane content of the LFG continuously or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties . The flow meter and the methane analyzer shall be installed at a location near the Delivery Point , unless the Parties agree otherwise . At a minimum , the Company shall determine : (a) the quantity of LFG , which shall be measured in standard cubic feet per minute ( " SCFM ") ; and ( b) the energy content of the LFG , which shall be measured in BTUs per SCFM . The Company may at its discretion measure or test for other gas characteristics . The Company shall measure these factors by using the Metering equipment and/or such other instruments as necessary . The Company shall be solely responsible for the operation , maintenance and calibration of the meters and other equipment used to measure or test the LFG .

It is the intent of the Parties that no one should benefit unjustly as a result of an error in the calibration of the Metering instruments . Unless there are specific factual reasons to believe otherwise , the Parties shall assume that the error in the calibration of the Metering instruments increased at a uniform rate over time . Accordingly , when recalculating the amount of the fee to be paid for LFG , the Parties shall assume that one -half of the error in the calibration was in existence during the period from the most recent successful calibration test until the error was discovered . The adjustment will be from the identified error to the nearest tolerance certified by the manufacturer or the testing firm . 5 . 10 The Company shall compile and maintain records concerning the quantity and quality of the LFG delivered to Company . The Company shall retain these records for at least five ( 5 ) years from the date they are prepared .
