Adams <br /> General Manager <br /> Subject: Landfill Gas Electric Generation Project <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU), as an active participant in Energy City activities, <br /> has been involved in utilizing Landfill Gas (LFG)to generate electricity at the Elk River <br /> • Landfill since 1998. In 1998, a 525 KW electric generator fueled by LFG, was brought <br /> on-line. Due to the amount of LFG now available, ERMU in partnership with Waste <br /> Management and Sherburne County, desire to expand the LFG electric generation <br /> project from the initial 525 KW capacity to ultimately 3200 KW. This is enough <br /> electrical energy to supply over 2100 homes with their electrical needs. • <br /> This project entails removing the existing 525 KW engine / generator housed in an all- <br /> weather metal enclosure and constructing approximately a 5800 square foot masonry <br /> building. This new building will house 3 —800 KW engine/generator units initially and <br /> will be expandable to 4— 800 KW units. This facility also contains a compressor room, <br /> electrical room for equipment, along with a bathroom, office, storage and an education <br /> center. <br /> No grading plan or drainage calculations are included. Due to the flat site, no grading is <br /> required. Due to the small footprint of this building, drainage is not an issue either. <br /> cc: Deb Delm <br /> • <br />
