    A comparison of the costs for active gas collection and treatment and passive gas collection and venting was compleced. The comparison included capital costs as well as long term (30 year ~ post closure period) operuion and maintenance (0&M) costs

    Based o n a review of landfill closures in New Hampshire, it is concluded that passive LFG gas collection and ventina is an effective means of connolling LFG migration from closed landfill facilities with FML caps . Implementatio n of pass ive LFG collectio n and venting at the Coakley landfill will result in combined capital and O&M cost savings of approximately $700,000 through the closure and post closure period as compared 10 active LFG collection and treatment .

    Should you have any questions or require addi tional information, please do not hesitate to cal l.
