Methane Gas at the Landfill
 The Operational Services Division has contracted for a feasibility study to be done to estimate the potential quality and quantity of methane gas generated from the City landfill site. This study will determine whether or not it is economically feasible to implement a methane gas recovery system to utilize the methane gas as a source of energy. Methane gas is 21 times more harmful to the environment in producing harmful Green Houses gases than carbon dioxide.
 The study has been sent to some potential partners such as Manitoba Hydro and Integrated Gas Recovery Services (IGRS) of Niagara Falls, Ontario for their consideration. Samson Engineering Inc. of Brandon is compiling the information and will produce the final report. The study is being funded by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), Waste Reduction and Pollution Prevention (WRAPP) fund from the Province of Manitoba and the fund related to the Climate Change Community Challenge.
