1. Introduction

This Project Document for the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill Gas Capture and Destruction Projecthas been developed in accordance with the ISO 14064-2: Specification with guidance at the projectlevel for quantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removalenhancements.

IGRS implemented an ISO 14064 approach to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission management at theproject level in 2009, with the expectation that the system and methodology provided by theInternational Standards Organization will benefit the project, project stake-holders and emissionreduction beneficiaries. Benefits include additional clarity and consistency for quantifying,monitoring, reporting and validating or verifying GHG inventories and projects.

Specifically, ISO 14064 provides for:

- Enhanced environmental integrity of the GHG quantification;

- Enhanced credibility, consistency, and transparency of GHG quantification, monitoring andreporting, including GHG project emission reductions and removal enhancements;

- The ability to track performance and progress in the reduction of GHG emissions and/orincrease in GHG removals; and,

- More transparent crediting and trade of GHG emission reductions.

The project is also generally consistent with the Quantification Protocol for Landfill Gas Capture and Combustion, 2007, developed as part of the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (SGER) by Alberta Environment (ABENV).

As per the Alberta Environment’s Quantification Protocol for Landfill Gas Capture and Combustion, 2007, the baseline condition represents the emissions of GHGs from waste decomposition in a landfill that would have been released to the atmosphere without landfill gas (LFG) capture and combustion under controlled conditions. The baseline condition is thus dependent on the volume of LFG captured and combusted, and not on the size, waste composition, operational method or other characteristics of the project landfill.

This protocol does not attempt to estimate or quantify the total GHG emissions from a landfill. The GHG reduction calculation is based on the measurement of the volume of LFG collected and the assumption that all of the LFG collected would have been released in the absence of an LFG collection system. Thus the calculation of the total volume of methane generated in the landfill, using modeling or other calculation methods, is not required under this protocol.

As per typical landfill gas recovery projects, methane is the only GHG that is of material significance. Other GHGs that are required to be quantified for emission reduction projects such as nitrous oxides and refrigerants are considered immaterial when quantifying the GHG impact of a landfill gas project.

Evidence is provided to support that:

1. Combustion is carried out under controlled conditions as demonstrated by a description ofthe LFG end use and specifications of the combustion device in use;

2. LFG is not vented directly to atmosphere under the project condition once it is gathered asdemonstrated by operational records and/or an affirmation by IGRS;

3. Metering of gas volumes takes place upstream of collection within a reasonable distance ofeither the combustion device or point of inclusion in the off-site pipeline network such thatthe meter will account for the potential for fugitive emissions as demonstrated by a projectschematics;

4. The quantification of reductions achieved by the project is based on actual measurement andmonitoring; and,

5. The project meets other identified requirements as detailed in section 3.6.

Overall IGRS and its GHG Management Program are committed to the following principles:

- Relevance: Selecting the GHG sources, GHG sinks, GHG reservoirs, data and methodologies appropriate to the needs of the intended user.

- Completeness: Including and/or addressing all relevant GHG emissions and removals. Include all relevant information to support criteria and procedures.

- Consistency: Enabling meaningful comparisons in GHG-related information.

- Accuracy: Reducing bias and uncertainties as far as is practical.

- Transparency: Disclosing sufficient and appropriate GHG-related information to allow intended users to make decisions with reasonable confidence.

- Conservativeness: Using conservative assumptions, values and procedures to ensure thatGHG emission reductions or removal enhancements are not over-estimated.

The Project Document is updated annually and issued with the relevant emission reduction claim summaries for the project. It is within the emission reduction claim summary (located in Appendix B: Emission Reduction Claim Summary) that the annual volume of emission reductions is documented. The Verification Methodology utilized by IGRS can be found in Appendix C: IGRS

Verification Methodology.

This is the Seventh edition of the Project Document listed on the CSA CleanProjects Registry; the expectation is that this project will continue to produce similar volumes of emissions reductions on an annual basis until the project completion date of December 31st 2016.

The Project Document provides context for the claim summary and background to explain the use of certain approaches or decisions taken. Explanation will generally include documentation of the following:

- How approaches were used or decisions taken.

- Why approaches were chosen or decisions made.

3. Project Description3.1 Project Scope

During the claim period, Integrated Gas Recovery Services Inc. (IGRS) operated the IGRS Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill Gas Capture and Destruction Project, a facility designed for the collection and flaring of landfill gas (LFG) originating at the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill.

Landfill gas is collected from twenty-three vertical wells. The four inch diameter wells are individually valved and connected to six inch diameter above ground pipes, which then connect to an eighteen inch header pipe. The header pipe is buried approximately three feet below grade and conveys the gas to the plant area adjacent to the landfill.

Low points or sumps in the header pipe collect water that condenses from the saturated gas. Each of the three sumps are equipped with a pneumatic pump that withdraws the condensed moisture and discharges it to the landfill leachate/manhole system via a dedicated three inch forcemain buried alongside the gas header. A three inch compressed air line is also buried beside the forcemain and gas header.

The plant is equipped with a fan blower that provides vacuum to the wellfield in order to draw landfill gas from the waste to the plant. The blower conveys landfill gas to a flare where the gas is ignited and burned continuously. The project uses a fully enclosed flare for methane destruction.

A small utility control building adjacent to the plant houses the following equipment:

• The electrical breaker for the fan blower motor,

• A gas analyzer that measures gas quality real time,

• An air compressor and dryer that together provide dry compressed air to the pneumatic pumps,

• a SCADA computer that continuously records gas flow rate, compressed air pressure in the airline, blower speed and run-time, and flare flame temperature.

This project document reports the emission reductions associated with the operation of the project between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2015.

3.2 Project Site Description

The LFG system is located at the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill; 7700 County Road 18, Essex, Ontario, N0R 1B0 (Latitude 42.090833 and Longitude -82.012889). The landfill site is owned and operated by the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority, who contracted with IGRS to design, build and operate the landfill gas project. The project boundary is illustrated in the process flow diagram, FIGURE 1.0, which also indicates the location of the collection, processing, metering and analysis for the Project. Geographic location of the site is provided in FIGURE 2.0.

3.3 Baseline Conditions

Prior to the implementation of the project, there were no collection and destruction facilities at the site. LFG was vented to the atmosphere. The collection, capture and recovery of LFG at the Landfill was not required by law in 2014. Reductions are calculated, therefore, from a baseline of continued natural venting of LFG emissions to the atmosphere at the Landfill.

3.4 Justification of Baseline Conditions

When identifying potential baseline scenarios and their associated barriers to justify how the selected baseline is the most likely to occur in absence of the project, the following barriers were utilized: financial economic, legal requirements and technology available. The following table outlines the barriers that were utilized in assessing each baseline candidate.

Table 1: Baseline Scenarios and Associated Barriers

Barrier Existing Project (capture and flare) Business as usual (venting to atmosphere)

Financial Economic Medium to high costs associated with necessary infrastructure, monitoring and maintenance

No Barrier

Legal Requirements Not required by law N/A

Technology Available No Barrier No Barrier

Based on the comparative assessment of barriers, the business as usual scenario in which there is no capture and flare system in place and landfill gas would be released into the atmosphere was identified as the most appropriate baseline scenario.

3.5 Project Condition

The project condition is defined as LFG collection through the installed wellfield followed by LFG combustion in an enclosed flare, as constructed in 2009.

3.8 Identification of Risks

There are no risks to annual emissions reductions claimed by the IGRS Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill Gas and Destruction Project as the documents are created based on empirical data. The emissions reductions have already been generated.

Table 4: Risks to Annual Emission Reductions

Risk Mitigation or Management Process

Force Majeure – Events that involve damage to installed infrastructure

In the event of damage, the project would reflect the changes in landfill gas utilization and flaring.

Significant changes in landfill waste mix, specifically substantial reduction in/diversion of organic waste

Landfill waste mix has not manifested any changed in landfill gas generation.

Construction projects that change project fundamentals and/or require taking the project offline to allow for development

The project has already been constructed and emission reductions have already been generated.

3.9 Other Project Information

3.9.1 Other Ownership Info

The Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill is owned by the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority, a municipal agency created by the County of Essex and the City of Windsor to provide waste management Programs and facilities for the residents and businesses in the County and the City. As specified under the agreement with the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority, IGRS holds title to all environmental attributes related to LFG capture, destruction and utilization. There are no other elements of these projects that affect the validity of the reductions or IGRS’ ability to claim ownership.

3.9.2 Environmental Impact Assessment

An environmental impact assessment was not required by the IGRS Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill Gas Capture and Destruction Project.

3.9.3 Stakeholder Consultations

IGRS is not required by legislation or regulation to carry out public and/or other stakeholder consultations. Stakeholders are made aware, however, of the project through obligatory and voluntary consultative activities carried out by related project partners and interested parties including Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority.

4. Identification and Justification of Baseline

Prior to the implementation of the project, there were no collection and destruction facilities at thesite. LFG naturally vented to the atmosphere.

The Phase 1 installation of the landfill gas collection system at the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill isvoluntary as set out in the June 11, 2009 report filed with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.Reductions are calculated, therefore, from a baseline of emissions emitted from continuous naturalventing of LFG to atmosphere.

The layout and extents of the voluntary early action area of the landfill gas collection system arehighlighted below in Fig 3.0.

Figure 3: IGRS - Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill - Voluntary Early Action Area

4.1.1 GHG Assessment Boundaries

The GHG assessment boundary for the project includes all relevant emission sources from the operation of the landfill gas collection system to the ultimate destruction of the landfill gas. CO2 emissions associated with the generation and destruction of landfill gas are considered biogenic emissions (as opposed to anthropogenic) and will not be included in the GHG reduction calculation. This is consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) guidelines for captured landfill gas.

4.1.2 Sources Sinks and Reservoirs

The following are identified as relevant sources, sinks and reservoirs to be included in the quantification of a project’s net GHG emissions in CO2e:

• Destruction of methane via flare/flaring system.

• Emissions resulting from grid derived electrical energy used by compressors, blowers andother fossil fuel powered equipment at the LFG processing plant/stage. (Plant parasitic loademissions.)

The following is a comprehensive list of sources, sinks and reservoirs controlled by, affected by or related to the project, and how they relate to the baseline condition. Emission sources, sinks and reservoirs are classified as either being included in the baseline condition or additional to the baseline condition as a result of project implementation and ongoing operations.

Note that all sources, sinks and reservoirs related to waste collection and landfill operations are considered to be outside of the project boundary as they would have occurred in the absence of the project activity, and, therefore, are not considered in this project-specific list of GHG sources, sinks and reservoirs. This is consistent with the detailed treatment of Sources, Sinks, and Reservoirs detailed in tables 2.1 and 2.2 of Alberta Environment’s Quantification Protocol for Landfill Gas Capture and Combustion, 2007.

2 Refer to project baseline scenario as described herein. 3 IPCC, Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Volume 5, Waste, 2006.

5. Quantification of Emission Reductions

The Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill Gas Capture and Destruction Project creates a net reduction inGHG emissions that is real and not the result of a shutdown or cessation of an activity. The emissionreductions related to the facility’s operations are quantifiable based on metered and measured data.Where assumptions or estimates must be made in lieu of empirical data, IGRS chooses the mostprecise factor or calculation approach available. Then, in the event of equal precision, IGRS choosesthe most conservative factor or approach.

The calculation of the emission reductions from this project takes guidance from the followingdocuments:

• Specified Gas Emitters Regulation, Alberta Environment, Quantification Protocol for LandfillGas Capture And Combustion, 2007

• ISO 14064-2 Greenhouse gases — Part 2: Specification with guidance at the project level forquantification, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emission reductions or removalenhancements, 2006

5.1 Relevant Equations and Calculations

Consistent with the protocol approach as defined by Alberta Environment and summarized in Section 1, the following equation represents the project emission reduction calculation methodology.

Baseline Emissions The baseline condition is defined as the volume of methane captured that would otherwise have been released to the atmosphere. The baseline condition is dynamic as the volume of methane would be expected to change relative to factors such as the age of the landfill and the landfill waste mix.

Baseline Emissions

= VLFG-cap x ρCH4 x CCH4 x GWPCH4

VLFG-cap = Volume of Landfill Gas captured in the collection system (m3)

5.2 Data Management

IGRS has established data collection practices to ensure the capture sufficient to rigorously support mass and energy balance calculations. The intent is to minimize the need for assumptions and use of contingency procedures when tabulating project-related GHG emission reductions. The data accumulation process for the project is detailed below, followed by an overview of record management practices used to preserve data integrity. Thereafter, an explanation is provided detailing data quality assessment practices and data control tests and checks that are used to ensure accuracy and precision.

IGRS collects data in support of emission reductions during the normal course of business operations. The quantities to be monitored include LFG flow rate to the flare and composition of LFG. In addition, temperatures and pressures are measured to normalize flow data and to support flaring efficiency factors.

Data Sources

IGRS maintains a gas flow meter onsite, which serves as the primary metering station for emission reduction claims related to the flaring of LFG. The flow meter equipment is a Sierra Instruments’ Steel-Mass Model 640S meter. IGRS monitors methane content of the landfill gas at the gas plant using a Siemens Ultramat23 analyzer. IGRS monitors energy usage at the gas plant using a Siemens 6900 kWh power meter. Details of the maintenance of these meters are indicated in 5.3.1 in Table 4: Equipment List.

The landfill gas flow meter data is corrected for temperature and pressure. The gross heating value of the processed LFG flowing through the LFG plant meter is determined based on the continuous cycle composition determined by gas infrared analysis.

Equipment and data acquisition points are indicated in the process flow diagram (FIGURE 1.0) and ERC Claim Data Flow Summary diagram (FIGURE 4.0).

Figure 4: IGRS - Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill - ERC Claim Data Flow Summary

Record Keeping and Manual Data Review

Record keeping practises include:

a. Primary or raw data is stored in two locations, on an onsite server as well as on a server at theIGRS/Comcor Cambridge office. Data is also processed through an algorithm to create areduced data set, which is available online.

b. To create the reduced data set, Algorithm 1 pulls instantaneous data every 120 seconds fromthe project monitoring system including the following information: interval start time inseconds, instantaneous methane concentration measured in % methane, and instantaneousLFG flow rate. Secondary data representing physical variables that may affect the primarydata is also logged and stored.

c. Algorithm 2 serves to improve the overcome limitations for metering equipment andimproved the overall accuracy of the reduced data set. Each piece of equipment thatmonitors and measures the variables identified in (b) reports measurements on a uniquefrequency. There can be instances where a particular piece of monitoring equipment is notreporting a value at a particular 120 second sampling event. In such instances where a pieceof equipment is out of sync with the 120 second imposed sampling frequency, Algorithm 1records a blank. These blanks are not a function of what is happening in the process, but arecorded due to standard and characteristic limitations of the metering and monitoring

equipment. In order to correct for this limitation, IGRS uses Algorithm 2 to backfill missing data with the instantaneous data recorded in the immediately preceding second. If that value is not available, instantaneous data from the immediately proceeding second is used. The algorithm alternates back and forth searching for the closest available instantaneous data until a value is found. Given process characteristics, gas flow and methane concentration does not vary significantly from second to second, and this is a standard approach to creating a complete data set. Algorithm 2 reconciles the reduced data set with the raw data set on a daily basis at midnight for a total of 36 days. Other reasons for data unavailability include internet connection interruptions or electricity outages. This data reconciliation mechanism allows for data set correction in these instances as well.

d. The PLC database also runs confirmation calculations alongside data accumulation and raiseswarnings in the event that a check does not reconcile with the standard data set.

e. Data is reviewed manually on a month-by-month basis and summarized into daily andmonthly data sets.

f. The reduced data set is reviewed to ensure that data collection is not interrupted for morethan 2 intervals in a row.

g. Records are maintained electronically and in print for auditing purposes.

h. An annual claim summary is produced at year end to summarize the total emission reductionimpact of the project.

5.4 Emission Reduction Inventory Management

Consistent with the ISO 14064-2 principles, IGRS follows strict methodologies to manage emission reduction inventory, insuring that each unit of emission reductions claimed by the project is unique. IGRS sets out firm and conservative projects boundaries to ensure that all emission reductions created within the project boundary contractually belong to IGRS.

Furthermore, to ensure that the same unit of emissions reductions is not counted by more than one entity, IGRS has strict administrative methodologies to prevent double counting as outlined in Appendix F, IGRS Methodology: Emission Reduction Inventory Management.

Appendix C IGRS VERIFICATION METHODOLOGY

IGRS Greenhouse Gas Management System Verification Methodology

15/03/2010 Page 1 of 2 Revision 1.0

IGRS Verification Methodology

1. Introduction

The emission reduction assertion made by IGRS related to a particular project is a result of the avoided emissions of methane produced by the anaerobic decomposition of waste, when it is placed in a landfill. As the system that collects the landfill gas (LFG) and the associated system control and monitoring equipment require the use of some electrical energy and propane, the realized emission reductions are the net of the avoided methane emissions less associated project emissions from electricity and fossil fuel use.

Integrated Gas Recovery Services Inc. (IGRS) develops the necessary documentation detailing project activities to support their annual claim for emission reductions. Annually IGRS engages a third party verifier to provide an objective verification of the emission reductions asserted by IGRS related to project activities.

The quantification of the emission reductions associated with a Landfill Gas Capture and Utilization operation is defined by the Project Document.

Verifications are performed annually and each verification engagement pertains to a single calendar year vintage.

2. The Verification Objective

The primary objective of the verification is to determine if the project described in the Project Document resulted in the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emission reduction reported in the Claim Summary (“GHG Assertion”). This assessment will be based on the verification criteria defined by the scope of the project and the Audit Plan or Verification Plan as provided by the third party verifier.

3. Scope

3.1. Boundaries

During the initial verification planning, the organizational boundaries and the sources, sinks and reservoirs (“SSRs”) defined in the Project Document are reviewed for conformity with the available guidance for projects of this type. The procedures utilized to review the emission reductions reported in the GHG Assertion are designed to support a reasonable level of assurance. These procedures systematically review:

• the relevant contracts between IGRS, its project partners, and landlords;

• the project activity covered by the quantification;

• the equipment covered by the quantification;

• the facility(ies) covered by the quantification;

• the systems utilized for recording, tracking and safeguarding the data associated with the quantification;

IGRS Greenhouse Gas Management System Verification Methodology

• the methodology applied for the quantification;

• the Project Document; and

• the GHG Assertion.

3.2. Verification Criteria

The verification criteria employed in the development of the review procedures documented in the verification plan include:

• Assertions made in the Annual Project Document.

• The verification is conducted in accordance with ISO 14064‐3:2006.

3.3. Gases

The emission reduction accounts for three greenhouse gases: Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide.

3.4. Reporting Period

The GHG Assertion includes emission reductions realized for the year specified in the Project Document and Emission Reduction Claim Summary, Januray 1 through December 31 inclusive.

4. Principles

ISO 14064‐3:2006 defines six principles that should be upheld in the development of the GHG Assertion. These principles “are intended to ensure a fair representation and a credible and balanced account of GHG emission reductions and removal enhancements from projects” (ISO 14064‐3:2006). The verification procedures developed and executed during the course of this verification present evidence such that each of these principles is satisfied.

a. Relevance

b. Completeness

c. Consistency

d. Accuracy

e. Transparency

f. Conservativeness

LIST OF APPENDICES

Appendix A Landfill Gas Collection System Drawing Set Issued for Approval

1.0 INTRODUCTION Comcor Environmental Limited (Comcor) has been retained by Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority (EWSWA) to prepare this Exemption and Design Report for submission to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment by June 30, 2009. In June 2008, amendments were made to Regulation 347 (General-Waste Management) and Ontario Regulation 232/98 (Landfilling Sites) to address greenhouse gas emissions from landfill gas. Under section 11.1 of Regulation 347, a report must be submitted to the Section 39 Director unless the landfill meets the criteria listed in subsection 11.1(6). The Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill, located at 7700 County Road 18 in Essex, Ontario and owned by the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority, is exempt from the section 11.1 reporting requirements set out in Regulation 347 as it meets the following criteria as in subsection 11.1(6) of Regulation 347:

1. The Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill is an operating landfill that operates under Provisional

Certificate of Approval A011101 (CofA) issued under Part V of the Act.

2. The Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill CofA permits the use of facilities for the collection, and for the burning or use, of landfill gas generated by the site during site operation, but does not require that those facilities be used.

3. The site operates facilities that are not required by the CofA for the collection, burning or use of landfill gas generated by the site during site operation.

4. By way of this report, Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority, the owner and operator

of the site, is giving written notice to the Section 39 Director pursuant to subsection 11.1(6) of Regulation 347 and hereby expressly requests that section 11.1 of Regulation 347 not apply to the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill.

2.0 SECTION 11.2 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Section 11.2 of Regulation 347 applies to landfill sites where section 11.1 does not apply because the criteria set out in subsection 11.1(6) are met. Given that the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill is exempt from the section 11.1 reporting requirements pursuant to subsection 11.1(6) of Regulation 347, the section 11.2 reporting requirements and section 2.2.1 of the Landfill Gas Capture Guidelines (Guidelines) apply. This report therefore:

a) identifies the areas of the site where facilities for the collection, and for the burning or use, of landfill gas generated by the site during site operation are in operation and for which there is no requirement under the certificate of approval or provisional certificate of approval under which the site operates (subsection 2.1 and Figure 2.1 of this report);

b) describes the design and operation of the facilities for the collection, and for the burning or use, of landfill gas generated by the site during site operation and following site closure in the areas of the site that are identified in clause (a) (subsection 2.2 and Figure 2.2 of this report);

c) outlines the design, operation, maintenance and monitoring of the facilities for the collection, and for the burning or use, of landfill gas generated by the site during site operation and following site closure in the areas of the site that are not identified in clause (a) (subsection 2.3 of this report); and

d) if any of the facilities referred to in clause (c) already exist, outlines the improvements, if any, that can be made to those facilities to increase the amount of landfill gas generated by the site that can be collected, and burned or used, and the date by which the improvements can be made and implemented (subsection 2.4 of this report).

2.1 Voluntary Early Action Areas (s. 11.2(1)(a))

On a voluntary basis, landfill gas has been collected and burned in a landfill gas collection and flaring system from late 2008 until the present. The current landfill gas collection system in place as of June 30, 2009 covers most of Cell 1 and a portion of Cell 2 of the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill site. Figure 2.1 shows the completed landfill gas collection system in place at the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill site. All of this infrastructure at the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill forms part of the Voluntary Early Action Area as described in the Guidelines.

2.2 Design and Operation of Facilities (s. 11.2(1)(b))

The existing Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill has a voluntary active landfill gas collection system which was initially installed in late 2008. The process for the overall system is shown schematically in Figure 2.2. The purpose of the voluntary system is to control landfill gas emissions and reduce/eliminate off-site migration of landfill gas. The landfill gas collection system described has significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions over the operating life of the site and will continue to do so during post-closure years. Emission reductions from the system are, and will continue to be, sold to facilitate financing and operation of the voluntary system. The system currently collects as much landfill gas as the wellfield allows. The site regularly optimizes the amount of landfill gas collected and conducts operations and maintenance activities and wellfield enhancements in order to facilitate efficiency and maximize the amount of landfill gas destroyed. These ongoing activities will continue to form part of the voluntary area. Figure 2.2 delineates the portions of the existing system that pertains to the requirements of this report. Landfill Gas Collection System The gas collection system is the portion of the system which collects and transports the landfill gas from the fill area to the mechanical and flaring system. The landfill gas collection system is constructed to meet the requirements stated in section 15 of Ontario Regulation 232/98. The landfill gas collection system currently consists of 27 extraction wells and 5 leachate manhole connections connected to above ground temporary horizontal sub-lateral and lateral pipes, which are connected to a permanent main header pipe installed below ground. The vertical extraction wells are typically 15 m to 20 m deep. The overall wellfield as constructed is shown in Figure 2.1. Each wellhead assembly is equipped with a flow control valve and access port to allow for monitoring pressure/vacuum, gas concentrations, flows and leachate levels. Additionally, each wellhead is constructed with a flexible pipe to allow for differential settlement between the well and the lateral piping. The system currently collects as much landfill gas as the wellfield allows. The site regularly optimizes the amount of landfill gas collected and conducts operations and maintenance activities and wellfield enhancements in order to facilitate efficiency and maximize the amount of landfill gas destroyed. These ongoing activities will continue to form part of the voluntary area. Landfill Gas Mechanical and Flaring System A general schematic representation of the mechanical and flaring system is presented in Figure 2.2. The fully enclosed flaring system is used to combust the landfill gas over and above what may be eventually sent to industrial end users.

Facilities Subject toJune 30, 2009 Report

The mechanical system is equipped with an automatic fail-safe valve upstream of the mechanical equipment which ensures the landfill gas supply is isolated in case of system shutdown. The mechanical system includes a multistage blower that is used to exert a vacuum on the landfill gas collection system thereby drawing gas to the plant and then pressurizing the gas for the enclosed flare. A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is used for throttling or modulating the flow rates as needed. Residual condensate is removed with a moisture separator upstream of the blowers. All condensate removed from the system is directed back into the leachate collection system at the landfill. Control and Monitoring System The system is designed to continuously operate unmanned and numerous safety systems that are incorporated into the system design to provide for failsafe operation of the mechanical equipment and flare. All operations are controlled on a user friendly program logic control (PLC) panel located in the air compressor building. All system failures and/or alarms are displayed on the flare control PLC panel. Any alarms which shut down the system are also transmitted to notify the system operators via a dedicated telephone link. It is also possible to remotely monitor the system status through the internet. 2.3 Design and Operation of Areas Outside of Voluntary Early Action Areas (s. 11.2(1)(c))

Regulation 347 (s. 11.2(1)(c)) requires that all areas other than the voluntary early action areas be identified and a determination be made whether landfill gas collection must be expanded into these areas. As of the end of June 2009, the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill has installed and operates a landfill gas collection system encompassing the majority of Cell 1 and part of Cell 2 within the entire approved waste disposal area as shown in Figure 2.1. Landfill operations are continuing in the remaining areas of Cell 2 and the final portion of Cell 1 over the next number of years and there will be no additional finished areas before the end of 2010. Therefore, there are no areas on-site that require additional landfill gas collection infrastructure to be built and operating by December 31st, 2010. A conceptual design for the entire landfill gas collection system, covering all areas of the site, was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment in early October 2007 as part of the application that was made by the EWSWA to amend its CofA. That approval was given with the issuance of an amended CofA. Appendix A provides a copy of all of the drawings that were submitted to the Ministry of the Environment as part of that approval process. A plan view of the proposed landfill gas collection

system layout for the entire site is presented in drawing G102. Drawings G111 to G116 present the header layout and profile, while drawings G121 to G123 show the layout and profile for laterals 1-4, 1-5 and 2-1, respectively. Profile drawings for all remaining lateral piping have not been included and will be provided to the Ministry of the Environment closer to when they will actually be constructed. Figure 2.1 shows the areas of future site development beyond Cells 1 and 2. The overall fill schedule at this time is anticipated to be as follows:

• Cells 1&2 – currently being filled – completion anticipated in March 2014 • Cell 3 – completion anticipated in April 2023 • Cell 4 – completion anticipated in September 2032 • Cell 5 – completion anticipated in November 2040

The expansion of the gas collection system will be constructed in phases in conjunction with landfill operations completing areas of the site. All landfill gas infrastructure expansion work will be conducted in as timely as a manner as possible to maximize landfill gas recovery. There are no additional areas on-site that require landfill gas collection infrastructure to be built and operating by December 31st, 2010. 2.4 Improvements to Areas Outside of Voluntary Early Action Areas (s. 11.2(1)(d))

There are no areas in the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill where gas collection occurs outside of the Voluntary Areas of gas collection. As a result, there are no related improvements required.

3.0 REQUEST In light of the foregoing, we hereby request that the Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill be exempt from the requirements of section 11.1 of Regulation 347 and operate pursuant to section 11.2 of Regulation 347.

All of which is Respectfully Submitted,

IGRS Greenhouse Gas Management System Methodology: Emission Reduction Inventory Management

IGRS Methodology: Emission Reduction Inventory Management

Consistent with the ISO 14064-2 principles, IGRS follows strict methodologies to manage emission reduction inventory, ensuring that each unit of emission reductions claimed by the project is unique. IGRS sets out firm and conservative projects boundaries to ensure that all emission reductions created within the project boundary contractually belong to IGRS.

Furthermore, to ensure that the same unit of emissions reductions is not counted by more than one entity, IGRS has strict administrative methodologies to prevent double counting

Once an annual Emission Reduction Inventory has been verified, each credit is tracked independently to prevent double counting. Inventory reports are reviewed by financial auditors.

Emission reductions may be registered and transferred via a recognized emission reduction registry such as the Canadian Standard Association GHG CleanProjectsTM Registry. Project Document and Verification Report are uploaded annually to the CSA CleanProjectsTM Registry under the project’s assigned unique identification number. Through its serialization engine, the GHG CleanProjects™ Registry tags each listed tonne of verified emission reductions/removal with a unique serial number.

The verification audit is carried out to confirm that the projects meet a 14064-2 reasonable level of assurance. Other registry-specific stipulations and requirements requested by clients are addressed separately and independently from the ISO 14064-2 audit.
