Engineer, Tanhum Goldshmid. <br />Dr. Goldshmid noted the Department of <br />Environmental Protection is considering a change <br />to make such a landfill gas control system <br />mandatory. These gases are dangerous and can <br />ignite or explode. They also stink, are very <br />difficult to control, and contribute to the <br />greenhouse effect. However, they can also be <br />beneficial if used as a fuel to generate electricity. <br />Our Landfill gas could generate enough electricity <br />to supply 400 to 500 homes. Staff has discussed <br />this fuel use with the Correctional Facility and <br />Calpine Electric, and have also considered using it <br />to market sludge. <br /> <br />JUNE 19, 2001 <br /> <br />4 <br />S <br />. <br />W <br />. <br />D <br />. <br />D <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />
