LANDFILL METHANE OUTREACH PROGRAM Delta County Landfill Overview Open Year 1985 Closure Year 2014 Waste in Place 1.6 million tons Design Capacity 6.2 million tons Annual Acceptance 54,008 tons (2011) Current Landfill Area 6 acres Waste Depth About 85 feet LFG Collection System Yes. Average annual LFG collected in 2012: 225 scfm at 50% methane Delta County Landfill Escanaba, Michigan LMOP PROJECT EXPO The Delta County Landfill is a municipally owned and operated landfill located outside of Escanaba in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Landfill gas (LFG) estimated to be recoverable in 2013 for collection and utilization is -225 scfm (50% methane). LFG collection efficiency is estimated at 75%. Utilization of this LFG would result in avoided emissions from conventional electricity sources, equivalent to preventing emissions of nearly 4,000 metric tons of C02e per year. These emission reductions are equivalent to any one of the following annual environmental benefits for 2014: ~ Annual greenhouse gas emissions from 780 passenger vehicles ~ Carbon sequestered annually by 850 acres of pine or fir forests ~ C02 emissions from 446,500 gallons of gasoline consumed ~ C02 emissions from more than 9,200 barrels of oil consumed The Delta County Landfill reports that it is currently required to collect and combust LFG under the Landfill NSPS/EG.
