Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On August 27, 2009 the Company entered into a five-year fixed price gas sales contract with Atmos Energy Marketing, LLC, in Houston, Texas, a nonregulated unit of Atmos Energy Corporation (NYSE: ATO). The agreement provides for the sale of up to 600 MMBtu per day of gas produced by facilities which extract the methane component of landfill gas installed by the Companys subsidiary, Manufactured Methane Corporation , at the Carter Valley Landfill in Church Hill, Tennessee. The contract is effective beginning with September 2009 gas production and ends July 31, 2014.
The agreed contract price of approximately $6.00 is a premium to the five-year strip price for natural gas on the NYMEX futures market. MMC currently produces an average of about 500 MMBtu per day from the Carter Valley landfill, equivalent to about 500,000 cubic feet of methane gas, and this is expected to increase with the growth of the Carter Valley Landfill.
