Pontianak - GHG emission reduction through improved MSW management – LFG
Capture, Flaring and Electricity Generation

A.2. Description of the project activity:

This CDM project will be implemented under a Build Own & Operate (BOO) commercial agreement
between PT Gikoko Kogyo Indonesia and the Municipal Government of Pontianak that will cover the
landfill gas collection and flaring systems as well as the required budgetary requirement for landfill
management and waste collection improvements. This private sector approach to investment in municipal
solid waste management (MSWM) will be a first for Indonesia, demonstrating the potential for removing
Commercial Barriers that have restricted private sector investment into sustainable MSWM and the
associated environmental and social improvements.
The objectives of this project are;

1. Contribute to the global abatement of greenhouse gas emissions,


2. Improve MSW collection and disposal services within the city,
3. Improve the living and working environment for the landfill workers (government and
scavengers) and the surrounding community, and
4. Contribute to an improved living environmental for the population of the city.

To achieve these objectives the project proposes the installation of LFG collection system and an
Enclosed LFG Flaring facility which will destroy the methane gas that is being generated within the City
of Pontianak’s landfill, TPA Batu Layang. In addition the project will utilize some of the collected LFG
for the generation of electricity required to meet the parasitic load of the facility. During implementation
and operation, studies will be undertaken to evaluate the future potential for electricity generation,
methane gas sales and landfill mining for compost material (emission reductions calculations are not
included for theses options).

The Municipality of Pontianak currently has a population of approximately 521,000 people, population
growth of 2.76 per annum and solid waste generation rate of 0.8 kg/capita/day. In 2006 disposal rates
averaged 146 tonne / day, collection rate of approximately 35%.and total disposal of 53,201 tonne for the
year1.
Pontianak’s landfill, TPA Batu Layang, is located 15 km from the city centre on a 26.6 hectare parcel of
land owned by the government of which 11 hectares is currently zoned for landfill and the rest is for
buffer zone. The landfill commenced receiving waste in 1996 and during 1998 – 99, under the World
Bank’s Kalimantan Urban Development Program (KUDP) improvements were made to upgrade the
landfill to that of a “Controlled Landfill” management system. The landfill is estimated to have received

approximately 400,000 tonne of MSW by the end of 2006.

Controlled landfill management has decreased over the past years due to limited operational and
maintenance budgets. Currently no cover material is being placed on the landfill due to the cost associated
with this and heavy equipment being out of service. The sustainability of landfill management is
recognized as a problem in the World Bank’s completion report of KUDP “…landfill sites are unlikely to
be maintained at acceptable levels because of the limited O&M budget and attention given it.”2. These
issues will be addressed under the proposed BOO agreement with the support of revenue generated from
the projects landfill gas flaring activity.

Under the agreement between Gikoko and the City, Gikoko will invest / reinvest into the waste collection
systems so as to improve and increase collection services for the city. This will ensure that collection
services increases at the same rate as population growth, estimated at 2.7%/year. In addition service
coverage area is to be increased to ensure full service within the city and increase/ensuring collection
rates are maintained at a minimum of 80%.

Whilst the above describes the project’s focus on SWM improvements across the city, it is also the desire
of Gikoko and the city of Pontianak to implement local parallel programs that bring direct benefits to the
communities on and around TPA Batu Layang. These communities are typical of city landfills in
Indonesia, consisting of;

1. Residents native to the area, and


2. Waste pickers (pemulung) and small-scale non-organic recycling industries that are non-native to
the area.

The impacts of municipal waste disposal on both communities are basically similar, environmental
pollution, poor health and a reduce quality of life. The major difference between the two groups is that for
economic reasons the recycling communities chooses to live and work around landfills whilst the native
residents have had the landfill imposed upon them.

Developing appropriate solutions and benefits for both groups, whilst avoiding any action/preference that
would cause social friction/conflict between the communities is paramount to implementation of the
proposed community development (CD) programs. The objectives of the CD activities are therefore to
implement appropriate solutions to each group that bring about real, measurable and sustainable
improvements in “quality of life”, education, income earning opportunity and specific focus on women
and children of the scavenger community.

The project will establish a joint committee (Gikoko, Government and community) to develop, implement
and oversee community development activities that are to be partly financed from a percentage of the
CERs revenue generated by the project. Initial programs will concentrate of clean water supply, non
organic processing and improved local living environment.

A.4.2. Category(ies) of project activity:

Sectoral Scope 13: Waste handling and disposal, is the appropriate category for the proposed project
activity of landfill gas capture and flaring.

A.4.3. Technology to be employed by the project activity:

The project will employ proven technology and engineering approach to landfill gas extraction, flaring
and small-scale electricity generation. These systems have been established on many landfills around the
world but this will be the first to be established in the Province of West Kalimantan, Indonesia.

The basic operational principle is the application of vacuum in the waste mass to extract the gas. The
main components of the active collection system to be installed are as follows;

Collection System. This project will employ a horizontal LFG collection piping system. The design of
this system will employ dropouts within the collection systems to reduce the impacts of excessive
leachate and condensation on the extraction system.

This template shall not be altered. It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1

CDM – Executive Board page 6

Horizontal collection piping will be progressively installed during the filling of new cells and designed to
ensure protection from damage during filling operations. This system will increase LFG capture during
the period of filling, reduce the impact of high leachate levels and provide improved leachate drainage
within the cells.

These LFG extraction wells will be connected to a manifold pipe that will carry the LFG to the blower
facility. Condensation which forms in the collection system pipe work will be controlled by self-draining
condensate traps and manholes fitted with pumps where necessary.

Landfill Cell Closure. The technique to be used for cell closure to improve LFG efficiency, rainfall
infiltration and leachate discharge is that of an “Entombed Cell”. This form of closure is recommended
for all landfills in western countries so as to limit all methane gas emission and improve gas collection
efficiency.

The cells are capped with a synthetic liner which is then covered with a 300mm vegetation layer (growing
medium). Infiltration of rainfall is minimal which reduces leachate levels in the cells and LFG capture is
maximized due to the liner prohibiting LFG surface emissions.

As this technique reduces internal moisture content of the cells, moisture content levels of the cells will
be monitored and a leachate recycling system will be employed.

Leachate Management System will be installed to maintain low levels of leachate within the gas
collection wells so to improve LFG recovery efficiency. This system will include the recycling of
leachate within the landfill.

LFG pumping equipment will include pipeline manifold system and blowers. The blowers to be
installed will be single-stage centrifugal type. A pipeline will convey the LFG from the well system to the
LFG treatment unit.

LFG treatment unit will consist of condensate and flare systems. A knockout vessel will be used to
remove gas condensate. An Enclosed Flare, which meets the UK EPA “Guidance on Landfill Gas
Flaring”3or similar standards, will be installed to burn the LFG in a controlled environment so as to
maximize the destruction of methane and other harmful constituents before discharging them safely to the
atmosphere.

Monitoring and control systems of the facility will be linked by telemetry to an off-site SCADA
(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) monitoring location which will allow for real time
performance monitoring, systems control, error logging, analysis and reporting. In addition, monitoring
points and valves will be installed at each wellhead to allow for manual measurements and “tuning” of
individual wells to ensure optimum performance of the collection system.

LFG Generator, 60 kW output capacity, will be installed after ensuring sufficient gas generation rates
to run the generator, to produce all the onsite electricity requirements of the collection and flaring facility.
Additional electricity capacity will be evaluated to meet proposed waste separation and non-organic
recycling facility requirements at a later stage. No emission reductions will be claimed from the
displacement of grid electricity.

SECTION B. Application of a baseline and monitoring methodology

B.1. Title and reference of the approved baseline and monitoring methodology applied to the
project activity:

ACM0001 - Version 05 “Consolidated baseline methodology for landfill gas project activities”,–
Revision to the approved consolidated baseline methodology.

Annex 13 - Methodological “Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing
methane”

Version 3 of the ACM001 Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality, 28 November 2005

B.2 Justification of the choice of the methodology and why it is applicable to the project
activity:

This methodology is applicable to landfill gas capture project activities, where the baseline scenario is
partial or total atmospheric release of the gas and the project activities include situations such as:

a) The captured gas is flared; or


b) The captured gas is used to produce energy (e.g. electricity/thermal energy), but no emission
reductions are claimed for displacing or avoiding energy from other sources;

The Batu Layang LFG flaring project meets the above criteria of this methodology, as the baseline
scenario for the project is the total atmospheric release of the gas and the project activity is predominantly
the capture and flaring of the gas, item a). In addition the project may only utilise the extracted gas to
generate its own electricity for running the gas extraction system, hence item b) is included. No emission
reductions are being claimed for displacing or avoiding energy from other sources.

B.3. Description of the sources and gases included in the project boundary

The consolidated baseline methodology ACM0001 defines the project boundary as the site of the project
activity where the gas is captured and destroyed/used.

As a consequence of solid waste disposal practices in Pontianak, the organic fraction of MSW within the
landfill undergoes anaerobic degradation resulting in the generation of methane gas. The project proposes
that this methane gas is collected and flared on site so as to reduce emissions into the atmosphere. Power
requirement for operating the facility will also be generated from the collected methane. Accordingly, the
boundary for the proposed project is defined as the landfill site of TPA Batu Layang.The Projects GHGs
by source are defined in Table 2, whilst Figure 2 schematically illustrates the project boundary, the
components associated with this boundary and the emissions/abatements associated with the project
activity.

CO2 emissions from LFG recovery combustion as well as the emission of CO2 originally contained in the
LFG are of biogenic origin and are not to be accounted for.4,5

B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified
baseline scenario:

The organic content in municipal waste disposed of in landfills produces methane gas as a bi-product of
anaerobic decomposition. This process of anaerobic decomposition will continue for many decades until
all available organic carbon is degraded.

Since receiving MSW in 1996 it is estimated that approximately 411,498 tonne of Organic Waste has
been deposited in the landfill. Based upon the forecast population growth and improvements in collection
services in the City of Pontianak it is expected that an additional 3,183,404 tonne of Organic Waste will
be collected from the city and disposed to the landfill over the remaining 21-years life of the landfill.

The organic waste disposed of during the expected remaining operational lifetime of the landfill will
generate and emit methane gas as the available organic carbon resources are degraded. Calculations using

the First Order Decay Model6, forecast potential emissions during the proposed 21-year project period
(2007 – 2027) at approximately 304.07 x 106 m3 methane, minus that which is oxidised (10%) within the
landfill surface leaving potential atmospheric emission of 273.66 x 106 m3 methane. This is equivalent to
approximately 4,119,394 tonne CO2equivalent.

Indonesian design guidelines7 and standards8 for landfill construction and operation requires only basic
gas venting to be installed but there is no enforcement of even this basic requirement. Environmental
regulations are equally limited in their guidelines for reducing the environmental impacts of methane
production and emissions from landfills. Without the policy, regulation requirements and financial
capacity the current practice of “controlled open dumping” with little regard to methane gas generation
and emissions from landfills will continued by local governments.

Implementation of this proposed CDM project will therefore substantially reduce these anthropogenic
emissions through the installation of the proposed LFG collection system and the destruction of the
methane content of the LFG.

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below
those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity (assessment
and demonstration of additionality):

Additionality of this project activity has been determined using the “Tool for the demonstration and
assessment of additionality – Version 3” and the assessment is as follows;

The PIN for this project, City of Pontianak - Batu Layang Landfill Gas Flaring Project, was
originally prepared and submitted to The World Bank in August 2005 for consideration as a CDM project
supported by World Bank Carbon Financing. Acceptance by the Bank was notified in October 2006. The
project implementation is scheduled for after registration.

Step 1. Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with current laws and
regulations

Sub-step 1a. Define alternatives to the project activity:

Alternatives;

Alternative 1 Continuation of the current landfill operational and management practices;


controlled open dumping, minimal cell capping on closure and passive LFG
venting.

Alternative 2 The proposed CDM project of improved landfill management with LFG
capture Flaring and Electricity Generation for on-site use is undertaken NOT as
a CDM project.

Alternative 3 LFG collections and utilisation for power generation or gas supply off site.

There are no mandatory laws, regulation or a national standard that forces the municipal governments to
collect and flare methane or to use it for any other purpose. Therefore, Alternatives 2 and 3 are additional
to the baseline - Alternative 1.

As Alternative 2 has no revenue stream implementing this alternative would likely divert local
government budgets away from other waste management activities and therefore is not a viable
alternative.

Alternative 3 requires a much higher capital investment, technology, expertise and yearly O&M costs
than Alternative 1-Baseline and the Project. This would also divert local government budgets for the
required investment, yearly O&M costs and have a higher risk due to the lack of local expertise. Current
“buy-back rates” for selling into the national grid are seen by the private sector as to low to make such an
approach commercially viable.

From the above simple analysis of likely alternatives to the proposed project, Alternative 1 – Baseline is
the only realistic alternative to the Project.

Sub-step 1b. Enforcement of applicable laws and regulations:

1. Indonesian design guidelines9 and standards10 for landfill construction and operation requires only
basic gas venting to be installed but there is no enforcement of even this basic requirement.

2. Indonesian environmental laws do not specifically require local governments to maintain sanitary
landfill management, recognizing the costs associated with this and the limited financial and human
resource capacity to implement sanitary landfills.

In addition, the environmental regulations are limited in their guidelines for reducing the
environmental impacts of methane production and emissions. Therefore without the financial means
to improve landfill management, the municipal government of Pontianak will be forced to continue
the current practice of “controlled open dumping” and passive gas venting.
The relevant Indonesian environmental regulations are;

Step 2. Investment analysis

Sub-step 2a. Determine appropriate analysis method

As this project generates no financial or economic benefits from LFG Flaring activity except for CDM
related income, the simple cost analysis (Option 1) is appropriate.

Sub-step 2b. – Option I. Apply simple cost analysis

The capital investment and associated operational & maintenance costs required for the capture and
destruction via flaring of landfill gas generates no commercial benefits to the municipal government of
Pontianak or a potential private sector investor (Table 3). It is beyond the financial capacity of the
municipality to implement this project without CDM related income, as it would divert a significant
amount of municipal budget away from other local government services and solid waste management
activities (which are currently under resourced). This alternative is also of no commercial interest to the
private sector as it does not deliver adequate commercial return on the investment.

Whilst there are institutional and technical barriers that would prevent the proposed project activity, the
investment analysis (simple cost analysis) demonstrates that the proposed CDM project activity is not a

This methodology is applicable to landfill gas capture project activities, where the baseline scenario is
partial or total atmospheric release of the gas and the project activities include situations such as:

c) The captured gas is flared; or


d) The captured gas is used to produce energy (e.g. electricity/thermal energy), but no emission
reductions are claimed for displacing or avoiding energy from other sources;

The Sumur Batu LFG flaring project meets the above criteria of this methodology, as the baseline
scenario for the project is the total atmospheric release of the gas and the project activity is predominantly
the capture and flaring of the gas, item a). In addition the project will utilise the extracted gas to generate
its own electricity for running the gas extraction system, hence item b) is included. No other emission
reductions are being claimed for displacing or avoiding energy from other sources.

According the projects methodology, ACM001- Version 5, the greenhouse gas emission reduction
achieved by the project activity during a given year “y” (ERy) is calculated using Equation 1

Equation 1: ERy = (MDproject,y – MDreg,y) * GWPCH4 + ELy * CEFelectricity,y - ETy * CEFthermal, y

Where:

ERy is emission reduction, in tonnes of CO2 equivalents (t CO2e);


MDproject,y the amount of methane that would have been destroyed/combusted during year y, in
tonnes of methane (tCH4);
MDreg,y the amount of methane that would have been destroyed/combusted during year y in the
absence of the project, in, tonnes of methane (tCH4);
GWPCH4: Global Warming Potential value for methane for the first commitment period is 21
tCO2e / tCH4;
Ely net quantity of electricity exported during year y, in megawatt hours (MWh);
CEFelectricity,y CO2 emissions intensity of the electricity displaced, in tCO2e / MWh, using AMS I.D;
ETy incremental quantity of fossil fuel, defined as difference of fossil fuel used in the
baseline and fossil fuel use during the project, for energy requirement on site under
project activity during the year y, in TJ;
CEFthermal, y CO2 emissions intensity of the fuel used to generate thermal/mechanical energy, in
tCO2e/TJ.

As the project does not import or export electricity the equation is simplified to project Equation B.6.–1,

ERy = (MDproject,y - MDreg,y)* GWPCH4 Eq. B.6 - 1

and MDreg,y, the amount of methane that would have been destroyed/combusted during year y in the absence of
the project is calculated as per projects equation B.6 - 2

MDreg,y, = MDproject,y x AF Eq. B.6 - 2

where:
AF is the Adjustment Factor for cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do
not specify MDreg,y a value for AF shall be used. For the proposed project activity AF
is zero because collection and destruction of landfill methane are not mandated by

legislation or contractual agreement that requires the collection and destroying of


specific percentage of the generated methane,.

The methane destroyed by the project activity MDproject,y during a year is determined by monitoring the
quantity of methane actually flared MDflared,y and used for site electricity generation MDPowerPlant,y:

MDproject,y = MDflared,y + MDPowerPlant,y Eq. B.6. - 3

Methane combusted by the Power Plant, MDPowerPlant,y, for on site electricity generation is determined by:

MDPowerPlant,y = LFGPowerPlant,y * WCH4,y * DCH4 * PPE Eq. B.6. - 4

Where:
MDPowerPlanty,y is the quantity of methane destroyed by generation of electricity
LFGPowerPlant,y is the quantity of landfill gas fed into electricity generator.
WCH4,y. is the average methane fraction of the landfill gas during the years,
DCH4 is the methane density. At standard temperature and pressure11 (0 degree
Celsius and 1,013 bar) the density of methane is 0.0007168 tCH4/m3CH4.
PPE is the combustion/conversion efficiency of the on-site Power Plant

Methane destroyed, MDflared,, by the flare is determined by the following equation;

MDflared,y = (LFGflare,y * WCH4,y * DCH4) – (PEflare,y / GWPCH4) Eq. B.6 - 5

Where:
LFGflare,y Quantity of landfill gas flared during the year measured in cubic meters (m3)
WCH4,y Average methane fraction of the landfill gas
DCH4 Methane density expressed in tCH4/m3CH4
PEflare,y Project emissions from flaring of the residual gas stream in year y
GWPCH4 Global Warming potential of CH4

The projects emissions, PElared,y, are determined using Annex 13 - Methodological “Tool to determine
project emissions from flaring gases containing methane”. The seven steps required by this tool are as
follows;

STEP 1: Determination of the mass flow rate of the residual gas that is flared
STEP 2: Determination of the mass fraction of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen in the residual gas
STEP 3: Determination of the volumetric flow rate of the exhaust gas on a dry basis
STEP 4: Determination of methane mass flow rate of the exhaust gas on a dry basis

STEP 5: Determination of methane mass flow rate of the residual gas on a dry basis
STEP 6: Determination of the hourly flare efficiency
STEP 7: Calculation of annual project emissions from flaring based on measured hourly values or based
on default flare efficiencies.

As this project will install an enclosed flare, continuous monitoring of the methane destruction efficiency
of the flare (flare efficiency) is required. The Project participants will apply the above 7 steps to calculate
project emissions from flaring (PEflare,y) based on the measured hourly flare efficiency (ηflare,h). If there is
no record of the temperature of the exhaust gas of the flare or if the recorded temperature is less than 500
°C for any particular hour, it shall be assumed that during that hour the flare efficiency is zero.

The calculation procedure in this tool determines the flow rate of methane before and after the destruction
in the flare, taking into account the amount of air supplied to the combustion reaction and the exhaust gas
composition (oxygen and methane). The flare efficiency is calculated for each hour of a year based either
on measurements or default values plus operational parameters. Project emissions are determined by
multiplying the methane flow rate in the residual gas with the flare efficiency for each hour of the year.

STEP 1. Determination of the mass flow rate of the residual gas that is flared

This step calculates the residual gas mass flow rate in each hour h, based on the volumetric low rate and
the density of the residual gas. The density of the residual gas is determined based on the volumetric
fraction of all components in the gas.

The quantity of methane in the residual gas flowing into the flare is the product of the volumetric flow
rate of the residual gas (FVRG,h), the volumetric fraction of methane in the residual gas (fvCH4,RG,h) and the
density of methane (ρCH4,n,h) in the same reference conditions (normal conditions and dry or wet basis).

It is necessary to refer both measurements (flow rate of the residual gas and volumetric fraction of
methane in the residual gas) to the same reference condition that may be dry or wet basis. If the residual
gas moisture is significant (temperature greater than 60ºC), the measured flow rate of the residual gas that
is usually referred to wet basis should be corrected to dry basis due to the fact that the measurement of
methane is usually undertaken on a dry basis (i.e. water is removed before sample analysis).

efficiency, the flare efficiency in the hour h (ηflare,h) is;

• 0% if the temperature of the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare) is below 500 °C during more than 20
minutes during the hour h.

(Tflare) is above 500 °C for more than 40 minutes during the hour h :

B.6.3 Ex-ante calculation of emission reductions:

These calculations will follow the guideline provided in ACM001 which are as follows; “The
greenhouse gas emission reduction achieved by the project activity during a given year “y” (ERy) is the
difference between the amount of methane actually destroyed/combusted during the year (MDproject,y) and
the amount of methane that would have been destroyed/combusted during the year in the absence of the
project activity (MDreg,y), times the approved Global Warming Potential value for methane
(GWPCH4)……”

ERy = (MDproject,y - MDreg,y)* GWPCH4 Eq. B.6.3 - 1

where:
Ery emission reductions [tonne CO2e/year]
MDproject,y is the methane destroyed in the Flaring and Power Plant [tonne CH4/year]
MDreg,y is the methane that would have been destroyed during the year in the absence of the
project activity [tonne CH4/year].
GWP is the Global Warming Potential value for methane 21 [tonne CO2e/tonne CH4]

MDreg,y, = MDproject,y x AF Eq. B.6.3 - 2

where:
AF is the Adjustment Factor for cases where regulatory or contractual requirements do
not specify MDreg,y a value for AF shall be used. For the proposed project activity AF
is zero because collection and destruction of landfill methane are not mandated by
legislation or contractual agreement that requires the collection and destroying of
specific percentage of the generated methane, as explained in Section B3, sub-
step1b.

The methane destroyed by the project activity MDproject,y during a year is determined by monitoring the
quantity of methane actually flared MDflared,y and used for site electricity generation MDPowerPlant,y:

MDproject,y = MDflared,y + MDPowerPlant,y Eq. B.6.3 - 3

Methane actually flared is determined by:

MDflared,y = (LFGflared,y * WCH4,y * DCH4 ) – (PEflare,y / GWPCH4) Eq. B.6.3 - 4

where:
MDflared,y is the quantity of methane destroyed by flaring [tonne CH4/year],
LFGflared,y is the quantity of landfill gas flared during the year,
WCH4,y. is the average methane fraction of the landfill gas during the years,
DCH4 is the methane density. At standard temperature and pressure12 (0 degree Celsius
and 1,013 bar) the density of methane is 0.0007168 tCH4/m3CH4. Refer to Equation
B.2. - 6 for calculating the mass of methane flared,
PEflare,y are the project emissions from flaring of the residual gas stream in year y (tonne
CO2e) determined following the procedure described in the “Tool to determine
project emissions from flaring gases containing Methane”.
.
Methane combusted by the Power Plant for on site electricity generation is determined by:

MDPowerPlant,y = LFGPowerPlant,y * WCH4,y * DCH4 * PPE Eq. B.6.3 - 5

Where:
MDPowerPlanty,y is the quantity of methane destroyed by generation of electricity
LFGPowerPlant,y is the quantity of landfill gas fed into electricity generator.
WCH4,y. is the average methane fraction of the landfill gas during the years,
DCH4 is the methane density. At standard temperature and pressure13 (0 degree
Celsius and 1,013 bar) the density of methane is 0.0007168 tCH4/m3CH4. Refer
to Equation B.2. - 6 for calculating the mass of methane flared,
PPE is the combustion/conversion efficiency of the on-site Power Plant

Methane density (DCH4) is calculated by the following equation,

DCH4 = 16.043* LFGpress,y /(R* LFGtemp,y) Eq. B.6.3. - 6

Where,
Molecular weight of methane = 16.043 [g/mol]

B.7 Application of the monitoring methodology and description of the monitoring plan:

Monitoring Methodology as per ACM0001 Version 5 “Consolidated monitoring methodology for


landfill gas project activities”

This monitoring methodology is appropriate for this project as it directly measures the amount of landfill
gas captured and destroyed at the flare platform and the electricity generating unit(s). Monitoring points
are shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Monitoring Plan

The monitoring plan provides for continuous measurement of the quantity and quality of LFG flared. The
main variables that are determined are the quantity of methane actually captured MDproject,y, quantity of
methane flared (MDflared,y), the quantity of methane used to generate electricity (MDelectricity,y) and the
quantity of methane generated (MDtotal,y).

To determine these variables, the following parameters shall be monitored:

• The amount of landfill gas generated (in m³, using a continuous flow meter), where the total
quantity (LFGtotal,y) as well as the quantities fed to the flare (LFGflare,y) and to the power plant
(LFGelectricity,y) are measured continuously. The flow meters are to be calibrated periodically by an
officially accredited entity.

This template shall not be altered. It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font.
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03.1.

CDM – Executive Board

page 40

• The fraction of methane in the landfill gas (wCH4,y) is to be measured with a continuous analyzer
and accordingly the amount of land fill gas from LFGtotal,y, LFGflare,y, and LFGelectricity,y shall be
monitored in the same frequency. A continuous methane analyser is to be used as the methane
content of landfill gas captured can vary by more than 20% during a single day due to gas capture
network conditions (dilution with air at wellheads, leakage on pipes, etc.). Methane fraction of the
landfill gas to be measured on wet basis.

• Flare Efficiency parameters used for determining the project emissions from flaring of the
residual gas stream in year y (PEflare,y) shall be monitored as per the “Tool to determine project
emissions from flaring gases containing Methane”.

• Temperature (T) and pressure (p) of the landfill gas are to be continuously measure so as to
determine the density of methane in the landfill gas.

• Relevant regulations for LFG project activities shall be monitored and updated at renewal of each
credit period. Changes to regulation are to be converted to the amount of methane that would have
been destroyed/combusted during the year in the absence of the project activity (MDreg,y). Project
participant must explain how any changes in regulations are translated into that amount of gas.

• The operating hours of the flare and energy plant are to monitored and recorded. This is to ensure
methane destruction is claimed for methane used in electricity equipment when it is operational.

B.7.2 Description of the monitoring plan:

Monitoring Management Plan

Monitoring and reporting will be undertaken by an yet to be identified independent consultant contracted
to maintenance and testing of the monitoring equipment as well as undertaking the ongoing monitoring of
the project. Monitoring points and control systems of the facility will be linked by telemetry to an off-site
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) monitoring location which will allow for real time
performance monitoring, systems control, error logging, analysis and reporting (Figure 3). In addition,
monitoring points and valves will be installed at each wellhead to allow for manual measurements and
“tuning” of individual wells to ensure optimum performance of the collection system.

ISO Standards to be used; ISO 10012:2003 definition specifies generic requirements and provides
guidance for the management of measurement processes and metrological confirmation of measuring
equipment used to support and demonstrate compliance with metrological requirements. It specifies
quality management requirements of a measurement management system that can be used by an
organization performing measurements as part of the overall management system, and to ensure
metrological requirements are met.

SECTION D. Environmental impacts

D.1. Documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts, including transboundary


impacts:

According to Law No. 23 of the Republic of Indonesia, year 1997, on Environmental Management, every
project and/ or activity with large and significant environmental impact must conduct an “Analisis
Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan” (AMDAL) or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), in order to
attain the approval to proceed with the project and/ or activity.

EIA requirements for landfill are defined in Decree Concerning Types Of Businesses Or Activities
Required To Prepare An Environmental Impact Assessment, Decree No. Kep-11/Menlh/3/1994,
APPENDIX I, List Of Activities Requiring Environmental Impact Assessment, items; (12) Garbage
disposal using controlled landfill or sanitary landfill systems >=800 ton/ha, and (13) Garbage disposal
using open dumping systems >=80 ton/ha. As the project site, TPA Batu Layang, is an operating landfill
having an AMDAL that covers the environmental impacts of waste disposal and management at the site,
the new landfill management activities therefore form a component of landfill management supporting the
boundary of the existing AMDAL.

An Environmental Impact Scoping Study (EISS) and Stakeholder Consultation process have been
undertaken as components of a project Feasibility Study to determine the scale of any new significant
environmental impacts associated with this additional landfill management activity (LFG control and
management). Where according to the Indonesian regulation regarding Environmental Impact
Assessment, Number 51 of 1993,Article 3, and Decree Concerning Guidelines For The Determination Of
Significant Impacts, BAPEDAL, Decree Number, Kep-056 of 1994 , the significant impacts of a business
or activity on the environment are determined by:

1. number of people affected;


2. extent of the affected area;
3. duration of the impact;
4. intensity of the impact:
5. number of other environmental components affected;
6. cumulative nature of the impact;
7. reversibility or irreversibility of the impact.

The results of the EISS and SC determined that there are many positive impact through the
implementation of this improved landfill management activity such as leachate management, disease
vector control, reduced passive emissions of LFG, reduced air pollution from landfill fires and community
development activities. Improved collection services brought about by the project will have major positive
environmental and health impacts for the residents of the city.

Potential negative impacts such as short-term noise and dust during implementation whilst under
operational conditions potential negative impacts are the plume of the flare emissions, safety issue
associated with the high temperature flare. These identified operational impacts are to be minimised
through the design and location of the flaring facility. Section E of this document covers the potential
impacts (both positive and negative) on the local population.

This template shall not be altered. It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font.

page 56

D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants or the host
Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support documentation of an environmental
impact assessment undertaken in accordance with the procedures as required by the host Party:

All identified negative environmental impacts will be dealt with in the project design and implementation
plans. This will include the development of;

• An environmental management plan (Upaya Pengelolaan Lingkungan -UKL) document details


actions that will be made to manage the significant environmental impacts which could result
from the project activity, and

An environmental monitoring plan (UpayaPemantauan Lingkungan - UPL) document detailing actions


that will be made to monitor the environmental components which could be subjected to significant
impacts arising from a proposed project activity.

SECTION E. Stakeholders’ comments

E.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and compiled:

In December 27, 2006 PT Gikoko Kogyo Indonesia together with Local Government of Pontianak c.q.
Sanitary and Gardening Services (Dinas Kebersihan dan Pertamanan) have conducted a stakeholder
meeting for the GHG Emission Reduction through Improved MSW Management Incorporating LFG
Capture, Flaring and Electricity Generation project. The venue was held at Kelurahan Siantan Hilir
office, North Pontianak district, West Kalimantan. About 50 people from local people (Including
scavengers), local government institutions, local journalists, and PT Gikoko Kogyo Indonesia
management attended this meeting.

1. Brief Introduction of Stakeholder Meeting

The stakeholder meeting is one of the criteria that has to be realized for the Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) of Kyoto Protocol. The objective of stakeholder meeting is to get comments, inputs,
feedbacks from all stakeholders in the surrounding areas which directly and indirectly related to the
proposed CDM project. This socialization is one of the requirements in conducting CDM activity and it is
a normal procedure to construct any projects in Indonesia.

To carry-out a stakeholder meeting which was initiated by PT Gikoko Kogyo Indonesia and Municipality
of Pontianak (Dinas Kebersihan & Pertamanan), a socialization process with local community and local
government officials took place through a special meeting held at Kelurahan Siantan Hilir office, North
Pontianak on December 27, 2006,

2. Stakeholder Meeting & Discussion

About 50 participants were invited (including PT Gikoko Kogyo Indonesia and Municipality of Pontianak
attended this meeting. Through this event local community and governments were informed of the
objective and description of the CDM project and asked to give comments.

2. Informal Community Leaders and local community (scavengers)


3. PT Gikoko Kogyo Indonesia as the project owner
4. Journalists (Four local newspapers and one national newspaper)

From the socialization event indicated that the interaction among the project management, local
governments, local informal leaders and local community is well maintained through personal
relationship and stakeholder meeting.

ƒ From 29 questionnaires that had been distributed to all participants during the meeting, 29
questionnaires had been returned and evaluated. Participants who agreed with the project were 27
persons, not agreed was 0 person, and abstain was 2 persons.

E.2. Summary of the comments received:

Discussion between the participants and the project owner resulted in enthusiasm to the project
development and realization. The main issues discussed were as follows;

1. Mr. Rajini (Head of Neighborhood (RW 04 ) of Batu Layang Village)

a. This is the first time that we had been invited and involved to this socialization process. We
hope this kind of socialization should be kept as it is now, so we will work hand in hand in
developing and improving Batu Layang landfill site in the near future.
b. On behalf of the local people of Batu Layang I would like to ask Municipality of Pontianak
to take more care on transporting MSW from the city to the landfill site (TPA), please do
secure the dump trucks equipped with a proper cover (canvas fabric) so they won’t drop any
waste along the road and caused bad odor to the environment.
c. The leachate from TPA often flows to the nearby settlement drainage area and hence it
caused negative impact (such as bad odor and worms), and ultimately the water can not be
used for washing and bathing.
d. Health and education problems need to be given proper attention.

2. Mr. Rusni (Informal leader (LPM) of Batu Layang Village)

page 58

a. We strongly support of this CDM project. We hope this project can give more job
opportunity to the local people since in this region it’s difficult to get the job.
b. Caring for public health, education, and public facilities (such as : improving road condition,
mosque, water supply) should also given the priority.

3. Mr. Bambang S. (Public Work (PU) Service)


a. How long is the contract between Local Government of Pontianak and PT Gikoko Kogyo
Indonesia ? Is 21 years?
b. In the first stage of the project which will be started in May 2007, when the methane gas will
be generated and detected?
c. What is the amount of CER generated and when, since this related to the community
development activities?

E.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received:

1. Mr. Sugeng (Dinas ) : Question from Mr. Rajini

a. Municipality of Pontianak has spent amount of money to buy covers for our dump trucks every
year. In fact, we have already instructed all the drivers to cover/protect the waste during the
transportation. However, many drivers were not discipline regarding this, so we will remain them
again to do so and make sure they will do it.
b. We will improve our leachate drainage system in TPA and to protect leachate not to flow to the
residential area.
c. We will carry out community development activities in the near future, but what we need now is
to manage proper landfill site and prepare piping system first for CDM project.

2. Mr. Petrus Panaka (Gikoko)


a. I am quite sure our CDM project is able to improve living condition of local people since we have
a community development based program. So as for improving road condition. TPA Batu Layang
will become a public issue, local government will give more attention in the near future as many
officials and visitors would like to see this kind of TPA.
b. We would like to employ local people as many as possible according to our needs and capacity,
however, firstly, we need your support to establish this project in TPA Batu Layang which in turn
we will carry out community development activities.

3. Mr. Sugeng (Dinas)


a. The first MOU (signed in July 2006) between Local Government of Pontianak and PT Gikoko
Kogyo Indonesia was for 1 (one) year since we would like to see first whether PT Gikoko is
really serious in doing the project. We have experiences with many companies which came to us,
they just came and went without doing any actions. But PT Gikoko is different one; Gikoko is an
investor so our Mayor is considering to sign up an MOA for 21 years.
b. As soon as the first stage of the project is completed (end of May 2007), the methane gas can be
generated.
c. The amount of CER is about 45.000 ton CO2eq per year, we expected starting June 2007 the
methane gas can be generated. However, as for Gikoko we don’t need to wait for CER issuance
to start doing the community development activities.

BASELINE INFORMATION

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF INDONESIAN MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW)

Working landfills have a number of problems associated with them. The problems are associated with
technical, financial, environmental, social and institutional aspects of the landfills. To effectively and
efficiently overcome these problems a holistic approach to developing solutions is required.

The impact of these aspects varies markedly depending upon the income levels and socio-economic
factors of individual countries or cities. Higher per capita income levels in developed countries allows for
the financial means to maintain appropriate collection systems and landfill management. The generally
higher education levels of the population in developed countries also provide the support for
implementation of waste minimization programs, public education and strict environmental regulations.
Industrialisation and socio-economic factors also play a major role in the generation and composition of
MSW.

The data in Table 6 clearly demonstrates the difference in the composition of MSW between high and low
per capita income cities in Indonesia. The more economically developed cities such as Jakarta and
Surabaya display similar composition of MSW as industrialized countries e.g. increase in the percentage
of paper and plastics and a decrease in the putrescible matter component of the municipal solid waste.
Data captured during the per capita survey in the JICA (1993) Surabaya study (Table 7) demonstrates this
trend between high and low per capita households.

Another important aspect of MSW generation in Indonesia is demonstrated in Figure 8, the source and
percentage of MSW generation, households having by far the largest impact on SWM (JICA 1993). It is
this combination of high organic waste component and the source of generation that leads to the issues of
MSW impacts on society, the environment, local governments and the choice of appropriate solutions.

Table 8 provide a typical example of solid waste generation sources, composition and growth predictions
over time in Indonesia. This data is taken from a study (JICA 1994) in the Municipality of Makassar,
South Sulawesi. The prediction from the study is that as the city develops the composition of the
municipal solid waste will move closer to that of more industrialized countries e.g. increase in the
percentage of paper and plastics and a decrease in the putrescible matter component of the municipal solid
waste.

Importantly, a positive impact derived from the current SWM systems in under-developed countries and
economies in transition is the high level of recycling of the non-organic component of MSW. Although
the methods employed for sorting and separation of MSW in these countries are considered inappropriate
for solid waste management systems, as defined by developed countries, these existing method not only
provide an income stream to the hundreds of thousand people involved in this unofficial sector but also
ensure a far greater amount of MSW generated is recycled. The added benefits of this are a reduction in
potentially harmful / toxic material being disposed of in landfill and an increase in the organic content of
the landfills.

Insitu waste
a. The insitu waste volumes of TPA Batu Layang Pontianak have been calculated from waste
collection data,
b. The landfill capacity has been taken from design documents for TPA Batu Layang,
c. The methane generation model adjusts (increase in tonnes per cubic metre) the current tonnage
due to the effect of decomposition and settlement since the original dumping.

Municipal Solid Waste Generation

a. A number of MSW generation rates have been calculated in various studies;

JICA (1996) 0.70 kg/capita/day for Makassar


The World Bank (1999) 0.86 kg/capita/day for Pontianak
The World Bank (1999) 0.76 kg/capita/day for Indonesia

A conservative generation rate of 0.80 kg/capita/day has been used to forecast future waste
generation for the city of Pontianak.

b. Historical population figures have been sourced from various studies and government statistical
publication. Current population has been taken from 2006 population data of the Municipal
Government of Pontianak, forecast population growth for the City of Pontianak is calculated on
a continued growth of 2.76% per annum,

c. Current disposal rates are based on government calculation on the daily haulage capacity of
their truck fleet.

d. Future collection/disposal services are forecast to improve to a maximum of 80% during the life
of this project due to improved waste management brought about by this project.

Methane Correction Factor (MCF)

a. TPA Batu Layang had been designed for controlled dumping with cell heights to a maximum of
10 metres. Currently two cells ready for closure have a high above road level of approximately 8
metres. Under this project it is proposed to implement and or improve landfill management,
which will result in improved operational management and limiting other environmental impacts.
IPCC (1996) classifies such landfill as Managed with a MCF of 1.0. This value for MCF is used
in this proposal.

Degradable Organic Carbon (DOC)

a. Current research into Indonesian MSW (Butler 2005) the proportion that is normally
classified as Food/Putresibles (fast decomposition) includes a percentage of non-wood
waste such as; coconuts, bamboo, rattan and other, all of which have high lignin/cellulose
ration and therefore a slower rate of decomposition. This is reflected in the DOC = 0.187
used in this project.

Fraction of Degradable Organic Carbon Dissimilated (DOCf)

a. This proposal uses the default value of 0.77 in the IPCC (1996) rather than the suggested value in
the IPCC (2000) of between 0.50 – 0.60. Climatic conditions and the internal anaerobic
environment have a major impact on process of decomposition of organic carbon. Indonesian

landfills are typically highly saturated and maintain thermophillic conditions (40 – 60oC) over
long periods of time (Butler 2005) providing optimal conditions for anaerobic decomposition of
even the most recalcitrant organic carbons such as lignin and lignocelluloses. Research undertake
on a number of landfills in the USA (Boda 2002) indicates decomposition of lignin within
landfills. This is supported by analysis (Butler 2005) of coconut core fibre (high lignin) removed
from the Makassar landfill after 8 years in an anaerobic environment that shows a loss of
structural strength of the fibre, therefore improving the accessibility of anaerobic bacteria to the
organic carbons.

b. The formula for calculating DOCf (organic carbon which is dissimilated minus that which is
assimilated into microbial cell material) is given as DOCf = 0.014T + 0.28 (Tabasaran 1982)
where T is the internal temperature of the landfill. As temperatures increase so does the rate that
organic carbon is dissimilated, reducing that which is assimilated (Bingemer and Crutzen 1987).
In addition the assimilated carbon remains available for dissimilation in the long term as the
microbes die. The IPCC (1996) uses an internal landfill temperature of 35oC to calculate the
default value of 0.77. .

c. As previously mentioned, data collected from various Indonesian landfills (Butler 2005) indicate
much higher temperatures are maintain for long periods. The effect on the DOCf value using a
constant internal temperature of 40oC is a DOCf = 0.84, hence the use of 0.77 is considered as a
conservative DOCf value for Indonesian landfills.

Fraction of Methane (CH4) in Landfill Gas (LFG) ( WCH4Baseline )

a. Methane gas composition 50% is typical given for landfill gas concentrations as per the
default given in the IPCC (1996). This default figure is used in this study due to complex
nature of anaerobic decomposition within landfills.

Methane Recovery ( RE )

a. The methane recovery (RE) value for this project has been estimated at 50% of the methane
theoretically generated after 10% loss due to natural oxidation. Except for the first two cells,
which will have been closed prior to the project implementation, all additional cells will be
constructed to allow for maximum methane recovery.

Oxidation Factor (OX)

a. The IPCC (2000) provides advice that landfill management affects the oxidation factor, well-
managed landfills using OX = 0.1 whilst less well managed landfills would have an OX closer to
zero. Due to the many uncertainties associated with Oxidation Factor this proposal uses the IPCC
(2000) default of 0.1.

Methane Generation Rate Constant (k)

a. The methane generation rate constant (k) represents the time taken for the DOC of the organic
waste to degrade to half of its initial mass (half-life or t1/2).

b. Whilst there are many factors that affect the rate of organic degradation (such as moisture
content, temperature, size, landfill management etc) the rate of degradation is largely dependent
upon the lignin composition of the organic waste, as lignin creates a physical and chemical barrier
to microbial attack (Boda 2002), inhibiting degradation of enclosed cellulose and hemicellulose.
Food waste, having low lignin contents, degrades rapidly 1 to 3 years whilst high lignin content
organics (wood, coconut husks, some paper) takes between 25 to 50 years to degrade.

c. The k value calculated for this proposal takes into account the differing degradation rates of the
organic waste and the percentage of the three types within the organic waste stream in Indonesia
(Butler 2005), resulting in a weighted average for k of 0.116.

Methane Generation Potential - Lo

The IPCC (2000) gives the following formula for calculating the methane generation potential;

Lo = MCF * DOC * DOCF * F * 16/12 (Gg CH4/Gg waste)

Where;
MCF = Methane correction factor (fraction)
DOC = Degradable organic carbon [fraction (Gg C/Gg MSW)]
DOCF = Fraction DOC dissimilated
F = Fraction by volume of CH4 in landfill gas

New Waste Lo = 1.0 * 0.187* 0.77 * 0.5 * 16/12


= 0.096Gg C/Gg MSW or
= 0.134 m3/kg

The project Methane Generation Potential (Lo) of 0.134 m3/kg is considered conservative as temperature
measurements in the anaerobic zone of Indonesian landfills are constantly in excess of 45 oC.

The following calculations illustrate the increase in methane generation potential based upon internal
temperature higher then the IPCC default of 350C.

The amount of carbon available for biogas formation (DOCf) is be calculated from the following
equation:
Coe/Co = 0.014T + 0.28 (Bingemer and Crutzen, 1987; p.2181).

Where;
Coe is the amount of carbon available for biogas formation,
Co is the total amount of carbon (DOC), and
T is the temperature
Coe/Co = DOCf

At an internal temperature of 40 oC in the anaerobic zone of a landfill

Coe/Co = 0.014 x 40 x 0.28 = 0.84

That is, 0.91 per cent of the carbon is available for biogas formation. As the project Co is equal to
0.194 kilograms, therefore:

Coe = 0.841 x 0.187 = 0.157 kg of waste

Of the total amount of carbon per kilogram of the waste, 0.157 kilograms of carbon is available to
form biogas.

For the preliminary calculation, assuming that all of this carbon is converted to methane, and using
the fact that the molecular weight of methane is 16 comprising 12 units of carbon and 4 units of
hydrogen, then for each kilogram of waste:

Quantity of methane = 16 / 12 x 0.157 = 0.209 kg / kg of waste

Lo value when taking account of high internal temperatures = 0.150 m3 / kg of waste

Methane Gas Generation Forecasts

The Landfill Recovery Model (LRM) (Butler 2005) used to predict methane generation and
abatement/avoidance from landfill organic recovery uses the IPCC (1996) First-Order Decay Model –
Equation 4;

QT,x = kRxLoe-k(T-x)

Where;
QT, x = the amount of methane generated in the current year (T) by the waste Rx
k = methane generation rate constant (1/yr)
Rx = the amount of waste disposed in year x
T = the current year
x = the year of waste input

Calculations for insitu waste rely upon limited historical records for disposal rates as well as opening
and closure years of each zone. A site survey has provided an approximation of volume and mass of

the insitu waste. The LRM corrects this data to take into account degradation overtime so that
estimations can be calculated for past and future methane generation.

Estimation of future methane generation is based upon current waste generation and disposal data with
forecasts made for waste generation growth and increased waste disposal brought about by
improvements in collection service over time.

MONITORING INFORMATION

Overview

The purpose of the Monitoring Plan is to ensure a consistent and transparent management approach is
undertaken for monitoring, data collection, analyses, data auditing and reporting for the project according
to the requirements of the consolidated monitoring methodology, ACM0001, so as to ensure the accurate
calculation and verification of the project ER’s.

Gas Management Plan

A key operational component of this project will be the development of a Landfill Gas Management
Plan (LFGMP) that provides a framework for the management of landfill gas based on the site
characteristics and the nature and extent of the gas control system. This project’s LFGMP will be
developed according to the UK EPA guidance standards,

¾ Environment Agency (2004), Guidance on the management of landfill gas. Environment


Agency, Bristol.

¾ Environment Agency (2002), Guidance on the flaring of landfill gas. Environment Agency,
Bristol.

¾ Environment Agency (2004), Guidance for monitoring enclosed landfill gas flares.
Environment Agency, Bristol.

¾ Environment Agency (2004), Guidance for monitoring landfill gas engine emissions.
Environment Agency, Bristol.

The LFGMP will provide a clear and auditable route-map setting out the methods, procedures and actions
to be implemented at the site for the duration of the project. The key elements covered will be:
• risk assessment,
• control measures,
• operational procedures,
• monitoring plan,
• action plan,
• aftercare and completion plan.

These elements will provide the project with operational guidance, procedures and practices to fulfill the
following project objectives:

• bring together all aspects of gas management considered during the risk assessment and proposed
operational controls;
• provide an estimate of gas production;
• set out performance criteria for the gas control measures;
• set out the design objectives and principles for the gas control measures;

• set out the methods of implementing site-specific gas management systems to:
– prevent the migration of and control any release of landfill gas
– minimise the impact on local air quality
– minimise the contribution to climate change
– control the release of odorants
– minimise the risk of accidents
– prevent harm to human health
• set out the installation criteria and construction quality assurance procedures for the gas control
measures;
• set out the procedures and responsibilities for installation, operation, maintenance and monitoring
of the gas control measures;
• demonstrate that performance of the control measures meets the requirements and objectives for
gas management;
• set out the procedures for managing changes and reviewing the performance of the gas control
system.

Relevant component of the LFGMP are as follows;

Monitoring and sampling plan


The monitoring and sampling plan is an integral part of the overall Gas Management Plan. It allows the
performance of the gas management system to be established and assessed against the conceptual site
model and provides for developments of the model.

The monitoring and sampling plan is to include as a minimum:


• a schedule for specific data collection and frequency of monitoring at all stages of the site (i.e.
prior to site development to obtain background data and beyond the closure of the site to
demonstrate site completion);
• a layout showing the construction and location of monitoring points in relation to the site,
surrounding area, geology, and phasing of operation;
• a description of the measurement techniques and sampling strategy;
• an analysis and testing schedule;
• a methodology for data storage, retrieval and presentation;
• the background and action/trigger values against which collected data will be evaluated;
• the methodology for data interpretation, review and reporting;
• the means of communicating the results of the monitoring and interpretation to the Validator.

Action plan
The Gas Management Plan must set out the actions to be taken by the operator as a result of:
any abnormal changes observed in collected monitoring data;
• all identified operational problems or failure of the gas control system established as part of the
routine inspection or maintenance programme;
• a reported event, e.g. an odour complaint.

Remedial actions

Where a deficiency is identified, either via routine monitoring, inspection, maintenance or failure of
elements of the gas management system, then appropriate measures need to be identified. An appropriate
remediation time-scale will be prescribed in the LFGMP.

Emergency procedures and protocols


Significant events identified at the risk assessment stage, which result in either an unacceptable level of
risk or which are an extraordinary occurrence, should be identified as emergency scenarios. Specific
procedures will be set out to manage these events, including the immediate actions required.
