Description
The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George (RDFFG) will analyze a range of options (identified in GMEF 807) forutilizing the LFG at its regional landfill site. Meanwhile, the site will be progressively closed and a capture and flare landfilgas management system installed over time, beginning with the first closure phase in 2002. In addition to a standardGMIF loan, a highly innovative financing structure allows grant funding for this project. The RDFFG will surrender toGMIF the gas rights from the project for up to 10 years or until the grant funds have been recovered by GMIF from thesale of emission reduction credits (ERCs), whichever occurs sooner. At that point, ownership of the ERCs reverts to theregional district.
