Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to nc. ov Ms. Stanley: Per our conversation, I have attached a letter from Solutions Natural Gas, LLC requesting the use of our landfill methane vents for testing their greenhouse gas collection system for your review. As you know, this system is a stand-alone unit and will not compromise the cap of our landfill in any way. I lookforward to hearing backfrom you regarding this matter. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Joseph T.

Solutions Natural Gas LLC (SNG) has developed a system that will capture, and clean gases produced from landfills, waste water treatment plants and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). These gases in most cases are being released into the atmosphere. However, where economical these gases can be captured, and cleaned to produce clean burning renewable natural gas (RNG) which can then be used to produce electricity, fuel boilers, or power vehicles. We are currently building a prototype and would like to test it at the Lee County Landfill. This prototype would be a stand-alone unit that would be brought in on a trailer and would not require any type of permanent installation. We would like to connect a hose to one of your existing well head pipe(s). There would be no drilling or disturbance to the landfill structure/cap. We would leave the unit in place for a period of 3-6 months. The prototype would be housed inside of a 20-foot container. The gases from the well head would be collected, cleaned and then sent off for analysis. This prototype device would not be in operation unless someone is present Our prototype employs proprietary technology and provides a low-cost alternative to conventional gas upgrading equipment. We also have the capability to transport the RNG to an end -user or pipeline. We believe our technology will reduce GHG emissions and provide municipalities with additional sources of revenue. We appreciate your consideration in allowing us to test our prototype at the Lee County site.

Send all suspicious email as an attachment to nc. ov Ms. Stanley: Per our conversation, I have attached a map of the methane probe locations at our closed landfill. The area circled in red is the proposed demonstration area. Also, please be aware that access to this area is via a road that does not cross over the landfill, therefore the cap will not be disturbed. I have talked with Rob Knight of Solutions Natural Gas, LLC regarding your questions and will follow up with you via phone. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Joseph T.
