RE: Wilkes County Germantown Landfill, Permit Number 97-01
First Quarterly Landfill Gas Monitoring Report of 2017
JOYCE Project No. 356.1701.12, Task No. 06

Dear Kent:

Attached are the results from the January 18, 2017, first quarterly monitoring event at the
Wilkes County Germantown Landfill, Permit Number 97-01. During this event, Joyce
Engineering (JOYCE) monitored three gas probes and three on-site structures for the presence of
landfill gas. Methane was detected in gas probe GP-1 above the lower explosive limit (LEL). No
methane was detected in any of the other gas probes or on-site structures during this monitoring
event. A copy of the monitoring results will be placed in the records for this facility. If we can
provide any additional information, please call Alex Everhart or me at [phone].

Sincerely,
JOYCE ENGINEERING
