The North Texas Municipal Water District ("District") owns and operates the 121 Regional Disposal facility located at 3820 Sam Rayburn Highway, Melissa, Texas (the "Landfill").  The District proposes to design and operate an Odor Control System around the perimeter of the Landfill. 

Plano owns and operates a composting facility which is within the permit boundary of the Landfill.  One of the five odor control units (the "Common Odor Unit") is proposed to be located at the composting facility, benefiting both the Landfill and the composting facility.

The purpose of this MOU is to outline the agreement for financial contributions of the District and the City of Plano for installing and operating the Common Odor Unit.  The District will be responsible for all costs associated with installing a meter and all necessary appurtenances to calculate costs of electric services to the Common Odor Unit near the composting facility.  The City of Plano will be responsible for monthly electric charges, estimated to be $20 a month.
