They had reached out to Indiana Department <br />of Environmental Management (IDEM) in search of “antique” landfills to develop this technology <br />in Midwest conditions. IDEM contacted the City to see if there was interest in taking part in a <br />pilot project at no cost to the City at the closed landfill located at Fredrickson Park. <br />This technology reduces methane emissions that are a greenhouse gas. This project opens <br />piggy-back opportunities for the Office of Sustainability and possibly the Boy Scouts. <br />An Agreement with Parsons was developed due to the regulations that must be adhered to with <br />the closed landfill. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
