| Abstract |
The data presented in this report are from three field campaigns performed during September 2002, May 2003, and September 2003 by ARCADIS and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA) to measure fugitive emissions at a bioreactor landfill in Louisville, Kentucky, using an open-path Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) spectrometer. The study involved a technique developed through research funded by U.S.EPAs National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) that uses optical remote sensing-radial plume mapping (ORS-RPM). The horizontal radial plume mapping (HRPM) method was used to map surface concentrations, and the vertical radial plume mapping (VRPM) method was used to measure emissions fluxes down-wind of the site. Surveys were conducted in five areas at the Louisville facility: As-Built (an area designed as a bioreactor land-fill), Retrofit (an area converted to a bioreactor landfill), Control, Biocover, and Compost. In general, the As-Built area was found to have the highest methane fluxes. In addition to VRPM surveys, HRPM surveys were performed in the As-Built and Retrofit areas. Two definitive methane hot spots, having concentrations over 80 ppmv were found at the Retrofit area during the September 2002 campaign. |
