Finance Committee - 03/17/2021 Page 12
Mr. LaFleur
Thanks again Mayor. This is to actually do the construction adding 9 new vertical gas wells up in the landfill
doing some drainage tube surface collection layers, HDPE membranes, to do this gas expansion that we just
spoke about with my engineering services along the whole 1,000 foot wall to help eliminate any fugitive
methane surface emissions. And that would help us comply with the NH DES Operating Plan. SCS Field
Services is our preferred vendor; they have done 95% of the gas work in our landfill. They know where all the
wellheads, well valves, everything is in our landfill and they are very confident in the procedures that they are
going to do.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
And who is covering this one?
Mr. Hudson
| can speak to that Mr. Mayor. Dan Hudson, City Engineer. So the existing traffic signal at DW Highway and
Spit Brook Road is operating but the detection cameras which, you know, with cameras view the cars and
trigger the signal cycles. Those are reaching the end of their useful life and we have had trouble with them. So
what this request is, is to replace that with a new camera system. The newer systems have additional
capabilities. They can continuously count traffic and provide us the ability to remote in and look and address
issues remotely. Through the continual collection of data it enables us to change timings over time and things
like that to optimize system performance. So that’s what this request is and it is being funded through the DW
Highway / Spit Brook Road Traffic Corridor Funds. And we have been to the Board of Public who authorizes
expenditures for those funds. But since it’s just over the $25,000.00 limit we bring it to you for consideration as
well.
