Figure 2-3. Schematic of measurement configuration at the control cell of Site #1 2.1.3 Background Measurements Background methane concentration measurements were collected at Site #1 on February 21 using the OP-TDLAS instrument. The measurements were collected at a location south of the bioreactor cell, upwind of the landfill cells at the site. The data collected were used to establish an average background methane concentration at the site. 2.2 Optical Remote Sensing Measurements at <strong>Landfill</strong> Site #2 2.2.1 Control Cell The control cell was located on the southern side of landfill Site #2 (see Figure 1-2). This cell was referred to as the “control cell” because it was not being operated as a bioreactor cell. However, the cell was still accepting waste during the time of the measurements. ORS measurements were collected in this cell on February 24 and 25. Since the control cell was accepting waste during the time of the measurements, it was not possible to deploy the instrumentation over the entire footprint of the cell due to heavy machinery traffic associated with landfill operations. The VRPM configuration consisted of a scanning OP-FTIR instrument, a scanning OP-TDLAS instrument, and two vertical structures. The OP-FTIR was deployed in the northwestern corner of the cell, the OP-TDLAS was deployed in the southeastern corner of the cell, and the two vertical structures were deployed in the northeastern and southwestern 2-3
corners of the cell, respectively. Figure 2-4 presents a schematic of the measurement configuration used in the control cell, showing the distances of the VRPM planes. The dashed yellow lines depict the location of the four VRPM measurement planes. Figure 2-5 shows a photo of the measurement configuration. Figure 2-4.
