Emergency Repair of Flare Station at Schatulga Road Landfill:
The flare is fed by a vacuum system that draws methane gas to a central
location where it is burned (destroyed) thus reducing the carbon emission from
the landfill. When the flare goes out the vacuum no longer operates and methane
gas is left to seek its own path to the surface and is ultimately released into
the atmosphere or migrates off site uncontrolled. As part of the City?s closure
permit for the Schatulga Road Landfill we are to maintain and operate the
flare, which controls and destroys methane gas.
The flare is currently down and the Public Service Department has been working
at restoring it since the beginning of the week, January 23, 2012. Our current
repair contractor, Georgia Electric Motor, is unable to assist in getting the
flare operational because of an extended illness of their technician.
On January 27, 2012, the Public Services Department requested to utilize
Southern Rewinding and Sales (Fortson, GA) to come to the site to trouble shoot
the problem and prepare a cost estimate for repair. Southern Rewind charges $80
per hour for this service. They were the previous contractor of record and are
very familiar with the City?s flare and vacuum operation. Once the total
repair cost estimate is determined, it will be presented to the City Manager
for approval. The City Manager approved the emergency repair on January 27,
2012.
Funding is available in the FY12 Budget: Integrated Waste Manage Fund ? Public
Services ? Pine Grove Landfill ? Contractual Services; 0207 260 3560 PGRO 6319.
