Environmental Protection Agency - LMOP: LFG Energy Project Profiles Page 2 <br />The Seward County Landfill project's highlights include the following: <br />. Revenue to the landfill is expected to keep disposal costs low, benefiting 55,000 <br />users in the region <br />Energy savings benefit National Beef and its 2,500 employees <br />. Odor control by National Beef and the landfill benefits the community <br />• Conversion of LFG to energy benefits the environment <br />Seward County and National Beef cooperatively financed the project. The County paid <br />construction costs at the landfill and National Beef will pay for the LFG once the company <br />recovers its capital cost expenditures in energy savings. Payments are based on volume <br />and quality of LFG piped to National Beef. <br />For a landfill that recorded receiving 210 tons per day, and operates in an arid. <br />part of the state averaging less than 15 inches per year of precipitation, most <br />may have deemed passive vents more than adequate. Not so for (the Seward <br />County) landfill director. -Sam Sunderraj, State of Kansas LMOP Coordinator <br />Last Updated: 1/9/200f <br /> <br />EPA Home I Privacy and Security Notice I Contact Us <br />Last updated on Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 <br />URL: http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/sewardcountyandnationalbe.htm <br />http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/sewardcountyandnationalbe.htm 6/8/2009 <br />
