TYPE ®F TECHNOLOGY: Brightsfar Environmental's Solid Waste Energy and Recycling Facility(SWERFj"") Technologies include sterilization of mixed municipal- solid-.waste (MSW), recovery €~f a~{ inorgan+c materials and rigid plastics for recycling, and. the gasification of the, remaining sterilized and washed organics. The produced clean burning synthetic gas is utilized: on-site to produee renewable :electricity.. . Name of OornPany. Brightstar Environmental, Ll_C (BEL) Years in Busihess: BEL is a subsidiary of Energy Developments, Inc., a public company founded in 9986: Contact Pea-~on: Ron Manville, Vice President ~ i?eve{opment Paul W. Alford, business )~?evelo~rnent ~Ifailirag A,tic~ress: 952 Woosistone Drive Baton ~ou~~, Louisiana '70808 Phonee (225).769-9801- (985j 878-1977 mail: tore menviller~~brig~htenv.com dpaiford msn corn Website< wwvw.bric~htstarenviconmental.com What waste:, stream components will you -process? (glass, metal, plastics, greenwaste, paper #iber, other) BEL's SWEf2FT"" concept accepts mixed MSW-and- processes all- materials referenced above. Brightstar however, understands that potential synergies with existing or desired recycling programs may strengthen the County's overall waste management program. Of the aforementioned recyclables, Brightstar sterilizes and recovers all glass, soils and gravel, ferrous and non-fen-ous metals and rigid plastics. Greenwaste, paper or other fibers which cannot be recycled are washed, dried and become the solid organic feedstock for conversion to, and re-use as a clean burning, "renewable" synthetic gas. Municipal sludge may also be a component of the processed organics if desired. by the host entity. These sludges are largely water (typically 80%) and. reduce the. already low water consumption of the SWERFT"". What components of the waste stream will you not process? _ A SWERFT"" is designed to accept mixed residential and commercial MSW. White goods such as washing machines, refrigerators or fumiture would be separated and are not processed through the SWERFT~. White goods may be mixed with sterilized ferrous metals to aid in compaction for shipment,. and fumiture may be sent to a C&D facility. Construction debris is also not accepted into the actual SWERF~'" process, however the facility may accept pre- processed organics (non-treated lumber or trees that are ground and screened for metals recovery) from a C&D processing facility should the economics prove viable. What percentage of the waste stream will you. divert from landfilGng? Brightstar currently touts>90% diversion of mixed MSW from landfill. Brightstars' goal however, is 100°/® diversion through recycling and beneficial reuse. These numbers do not include C&D or white goods processing and re-use but such programs may be operated by 13rightstar . Hawaii County or local small businesses and incorporated into an overall program of reuse and recovery. . What is the composition of any residue {in tons and as a percentage of total MSW)? Is the technology scaleable? Dry char and ash (approx. 5%) maybe evaluated for beneficial re-use as patio pavers, other non- structural building products or as a soil stabilizer. Sand, soil and other inorganics (approx. 5%} washed from sceened pulp may be used as interim cover at the remaining landfill. Broken glass and gravel may also hold value as an add mix in local aggregate markets (asphalt). Every component of BEL's SWERF~ is designed as scaleable. Pre-constaucted facility components including steam autoclave, .gasification units and power generation equipment amve skid mounted and designed for•; expedient installation. Each steam autoclave processes mixed MSW and separates pulp which feeds two gasification units, which in turn provide synthetic gas to power 3-5 engine generator sets. What is the minimum tonnage you can process daily? A BRL SWERFT"" can process as little as 150 to-200 tons per day of mixed MSW. Project economics improve when quantities approach and exceed about 400 tons. per day. Upon;, review of the County's Integrated Solid- Waste Management Plan, Brightstar would like to discuss- the potential to construct the front end, st~xed MSW facilities on both-sides of the County. This would facilitate separation of recyclables as soon as possible, increase .remaining landfill life for both landfills, and minimize interim cross County trucking. This should also provide additional time to accomplish necessary environmental evaluation, public comment and permitting phases before the addition of the gasification and renewable power generation phase of SWEfZFT"" on the West side of the Island. In the interim phase all ferrous and non-ferrous metals and rigid plastics would be removed from the waste streams for recycling. Should the Eastern Landfll run out of.space prior to commissioning of the Western SWERF~"", a greatly reduced volume of MSW (organics and residuals) would be transported West for landfill. Ali recyciables from the West would return in the same vehicles to the Eastern "Front End ~niy" Falcility .to further minimize cross county truclang. Upon completion of the Westside S~1lERF's gasification capabilities, non- recoverable organics from .both facilities would be gasifed atone facility and landfilled quantities would dwindle. Brightstar is aware of the potential upgrade of the Saddle Road and/or Route 200 which was a major consideration in recommending a single gasification facility with separate recycling facilities. A single SWERFT"~which accepts aIB ~IISW firom both sides of the Island is available at potentially lower costs than is achievable with the above described scenario. Two smaller SWERF~s at both ends of the island are also available at potentially higher costs. Brightstar will need to better understand the needs and desires of the Co nty's residents, businesses, and government crier to rocosing a speck project scope., What is themaximum tonnage you can process daily? As referenced above, Brightstar's SWERF~ teehnol®gies are scalable in design and increase in capacity by about 250 tons per daywith the addition of each additional steam autoclave, and associated downstream gasifiers (2) and power generation eanits. Acreage needed: 3-5 acres per facility. power generated (in f1AW): 8-12 MW Other end products: Bio-oils are a potential by-product which may be produced :and recovered should even lower emissions be desired at-the SWFRFT"'9 site, or 'rf -low renewable power market prices dictate. Reuse of the renewable oils may be within the fast and West facilities to operate package boilers, gas turbines, or other systems. The potential. also exist to sell the. oils to a refinery, utility or other end user looking to replace fossil fuel with renewable fuels. RisBcs: All technical, operating, and financial risk are borne by Brightstar within the proposed build, own and operate contract format. Brightstar would be investing $30-$50mm depending on combination of facilities selected by the County. Upon further review by the County, and -upon initial.-acceptance, Brightstar-will be excited ~o-host a facility tour for appropriate Hawaii County representatives to visit BEL's operating Si/VERFT~° in Wollongong, Australia. Should there be a delay in permitting; and .commissioning of the gasifcation phase of SWBRF~, the NISIPV Processing Facilities then in place on both sides of the Island would already be recovering-inorganic recyclables and: plastics for re-use. The facilities would also be producing a sterilized ;pulp. This pulp-could potentially bo utilized as an organic. fertil'¢er, or composted fog further volume reduction (aompisstng-would not be necessary from a pathogen standpoint as mixed fVISW is initially heated to '1.30° C in a 40 minute batch process) Substantial: research- and .development has also been .performed at Blel_'s Australian facility relative to the agricultural value and application of such an organic fertilizer. I~nvironmental impacts: .The construction of a SWIlRF~'^ would initiate a .long string of environmental impacts. Initially, the source of potential organic landfill leachate contamination will be eliminated. Qdors associated with the daily landfll of mixed MSW will be eliminated. Birds, vermin and windblown- debris will- be greatly reduced. The emissions from 8-12 MW of non-renewable fossil generated electricity will be displaced with renewable power. Should the SWI=RFC`" be sited at or adjacent to the West landfill, hazardous emissions of methane (an extremely potent greenhouse gas) may be recovered, purchased from the County, and cleaned prior to Capital costs: Brightstar assumes all capital, permitting and facility operations cost within its suggested build, own and operate contract format. Brightstar recommends this format due to our "emerging technology" status and to remove all f nancial risks from the host communities and businesses. Brightstar's revenue stream is derived from MSW tipping fees, sale of recyclables and renewable power. In certain cases, another potential. revenue stream is generated from the sale of the bio-oils referenced herein. Annual operating costs: See above capital costs explanation. Cost per ton: MSW tipping fees may range from $50-$75lton depending on the mix of facilities and sites .chosen by the County, quantity of MSW and municipal sludge available, value of recovered recyclables and the value of renewable power sold to the grid. Long term facility leasing arrangements and cost to landfill residuals (<10°!a) will also impact MSW tipping fees. Brightstar can refine tipping fees for SWERF~M as wail as costs for separate recycling facilities upon further-review of the specific desires of Hawaii- County. However, pri®r to execution of a Waste- Supply Agreement and after ail of these issues have been considered- and. a thorough review of the project completed, BEL will offer a guaranteed long term contract for the processing of the County's MSW. The G®unty will-bear no risk associated with the variables described above. 1=inancing possibil'aties: ®nce again, Brightstar proposes a build, own and operate contract format with a long term fixed unit cost-for MSW processing. Brightstar believes that ifs' client communities should be offered the opportunity to own these facil-hies- as early as 1-5 years into the-contract. The County's ability to obtain- low cost financing upon proven long term continued performance would facilitate a significant reduction in-the MSW- tip fee at the Brightstar operated facility. 'Timeline fronn acceptance to futf operation: With a long terra contract: in place for the disposition of Hawaii County MSW and for the purchase of renewable power, Srightstar could have the "Front Fnd" MSW processing and recycling facilities constructed and operational within nine months of receipt of Solid Waste Handling Facility and other necessary permits. This may be segregated from the gasification phase of SWEI~F~~" clue to the potentially longer lead time for gasification and power generation permitting. This would also enable Srightstar to expedite recycling efforts, extend the life of existing landfills and minimize cross County trucking prior to construction of the gasification facilities. ®ue to the modular, scalable design referenced above, the gasification phase could be . delivered and. installed within six months of receipt of necessary- permits. This timeline is assuming the MSW processing facility and foundations for gasification facility would already be in place. The overall permitting process for a corraplete SWERFTAi9 is currently estimated at two years. This timeline may be> sh®rtened with the assistance of State and local authorities, however environmental assessment, public notice, and the public comra~aent and revsew portions of this schedule should not be reduced. combustion within the SWERFT''". All ferrous and non ferrous metals and rigid plastics would be recovered and recycled which should reduce the environmental impacts of processing virgin resources. Minimized tracking within a combined Island system, sending recyclables one way and organics and residuals the other would reduce associated truck emissions and noise. The SWERFT"' itself will be a minimal consumer of water at 40gpm or less, and, dependant upon moisture content of the MSW processed, may be a net exporter of water. Land utilization would be initially 3-5 acres per facility with the savings of about '/2 .acre per year in avoided landfll space. Aesthetically, a SWERFTM would be a low profile, enclosed facility with all garbage receipt and processing performed indoors. Negative air would be drawn from the MSW processing area and fed. as combustion or makeup air-for power generation equipment to reduce or eliminate odor. The conversion of solid organic pulp to synthetic-gas is performed without air or oxygen, therefore. no dioxins, furans or acid gases are produced in the conversion or gasification process. SEL's synthetic gas is a dense, clean burning, medium btu .gas which has combustion emissions characteristics similar to natural gas or propane. CO and C02 are the -major emissions from power generation and combustion of syngas to heat the gasifier tubes, Necessare~ air permits, will include ienits on emissions at or below levels of electricity to be displaced by SWERF~. Social impacts: SWERF~"" operation as described would create more than 30 jobs for Hawaii County residents. Hourly positions would be substantially above minimum wage and would enjoy full benefits. Salaried management and engineering positions will also be available. It is also important to note that jobs created within the recycling phase of operations would involve the handling of sterilized recyclables and not raw, untreated MSW. A Brightstar commitment to building a SWERFT~" in Hawaii County would include planned participation in public education and awareness relative to technologies employed and implementation of the County's overall Integrated Waste Management Plan. Additional positive impacts include but are not limited to jobs created in various recycling and reuse markets available for development by locally owned small businesses. WORKSHEET FOR VENDORS OF WASTE REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY FOR HAWAII COUNTY COUh(C6L_ COIlIIMITTEE ON PARKS AND ENVIRON1VlENTAL MANAGEMENT OCTOBER 15 AND 16, 2002, HILO, HAWAI`l NOTE: This is an overview for County Council members, Environmental Management Commissioners, public and news media. TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY: Vatorga Process _ Anaerobic Digestion Name of Company: Steinmuller Vnlorga, represented by Waste Recovery- Systems, inc.

(glass, metal, plastics, greenwaste, paper fiber, other) A6l components: of mixed AIISW plus sewnge sludge What components of the waste stream will you not process? Hnaardous wastes and construction debris What percentage of the waste stream will you divert from landfilling? About 65~m What is the composition of any residue (in tons and as a percentage of total MSW)? About 35~® of the totnl consisting mainly of inert non-recyclable and non- compostable mnterials, such as dirt, ceramics, metals, glass, and plastic. Is the technology scaleable? Yes, most certainly. What is the minimum tonnage you can process daily? No theoretical minimum, but about 50 TPD ns n prncticn6 minimum. What is the maximum tonnage you can process daily? By replicating digesters the SV system can process any amount of waste. SV plant in Spain is designed with n sorting {ine to process about 900 ~'P® of mixed waste nnd, after sorting., to process 450 ~"PD in four digesters. Capital costs: From $175 to $230 per ton of annual capacity. Larger plants would be in the lower part of that range. , Annual operating costs: Froth $32.50 to $40.00 per ton of mixed waste processed. Cost per ton: The total net operating cost, including the sole of electricity at $0.06/kWh, is $41.45-$53.22 per ton of mixed waste processed. Revenues from the sole of compost nnd recyclable materials are not included. Financing possibilities: Public or private financing can be arranged bused upon nmulti-year contract to supply n specified quantity of waste to the facility nt determinable prices. The multi-year contract should be nt least 10 years, preferably 20 years. Acreage needed: A plant to process 150 TPD (42,900 TPY) would need about six acres, while n plant to process 500 TPD (143,000 TPY) would need about 15 acres. Power generated (in MW): About 125 kWh of electricity are available for use outside the plant for each ton of mixed waste processed. For n 150 fiPD plant the generating capacity would be about 0.6 AIIW, while n 500 TPD plant would have n generating capacity of about 2.0 AIIW T'he amount of wnste disposed of in Inndf ills would be reduced by about 65~~. Conversely,. the rate of recycling would increase to about 65%. Social impacts: Depending upon the size of the plant, about 1®-20 jobs would be created. Timeline from acceptance to full operation: Design and construction usually are accomplished in iii-24 months. The time required to obtnin the necessary permits to bui9d and operate the plant can be varinble, but the permitting process and the engineering process can be carried out simultaneously. Other end products: The products of anaerobic digestion nre methane-rich biogns and a high quality soil amendment (compost). biogns can be used to generate electricity and/or steam, or, after treatment to remove carbon deoxide, it can be used advantageously as n motor vehicle fuel . Use of the biogns ns n motor vehicle fuel has environmental and economic advantages. Fossil fuels would be replaced with n renewable fuel and the cleaner burning e~tethane would reduce. air pollution. If diesel powered waste hauling vehicles nre converted to biogns, further reductions in air pollution nre possible be removing diesel fuel particulates front the atmosphere. Compost has a wide variety of potential uses in landscaping, agriculture, and land reclamation. Risks: The technology risk is minimal because the process is proven and is guaranteed by Steinmuiler Valorga. t=conomic risks relate to the market price of electricity, recyclable materials, and compost, which may vary over time. Environmental impacts: Civil works and construction of facilities will take place at the selected site, but will be limited to the period of construction. 1PVaste hauling vehicles will deliver waste daily to the facility, but the impact will be reo greater than current delivery of waste to landfills, possibly less depending upon the locution of the selected site. The process emits no odors to the atmosphere. The plant is enclosed and ntl exhaust air is passed through n biofilter to remove odors. Truces of odorous gases from the digestion process nre destroyed when the biogns is burned to generate electricity and/or steam. Combustion gases from the engine generator will be emitted to the atmosphere but are limited in impact by the size of the generators. The facility becomes o source of renewable energy, reducing the use of fossil fuels. 4 "R.E.U.S.E." rM M.S.W.

N®. ~ www.realearth-compost.com File No, Pr~seaite? Ref. To: Re#. Date a'T ~ 6 z~~ WHAT WASTE STREAM COMPONENTS WILL YOU PROCESS? 100% of all mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), and certain quantities of sewage sludge or other waste water. Our commitment to accept mixed MSW in Hawaii County is based on our proven ability to accept, separate and process all glass, metal, plastic, green waste, paper fiber, etc. normally found in household garbage. WHAT COMPONENTS OF THE WASTE STREAM WILL YOU NOT PROCESS? REUSE does not process hazardous materials. Ordinary mixed MSW should not contain hazardous materials, but, based on our experience, REUSE will assume that certain materials (defined as "hazardous") will occasionally be found during the separation and recycling process . which all MSW deliveries will undergo. Therefore, procedures for proper disposal of such material, in accordance with all pertinent Laws and Regulatimns, will be developed. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE WASTE STREAM WILL YOU DIVERT FROM LANDFILLING? At least 90% of Hawaii County MSW. Our experience is 100% diversion from sanitary landfills. during the time of operation of our facility in Madisonville, Kentucky. WHAT IS -THE COMPOSITION OF ANY RESIDUE? Mixed inorganic waste, such as non-ferrous metal and unclassifiable rubber and plastic.. No more than 10% of the waste stream (probably no more than 3% by weight) will remain of the. original waste stream. This material will have several possible uses in Hawai' i County. Because it will have been subjected to sustained thermophillic temperatures (well in excess of 14S degrees Fahrenheit) during :processing;. of the organic portion of the waste stream it will, therefore; not be a risk for causing disease or pollution. Such processed inorganic material will not require disposal at a sanitary .landfill. IS THE TECHNOLGY SGALEABLE? The original REUSE facility was designed for 1 SO tons- per day (TPD) input of MSW. The current design for a REUSE facility is based on 2S0 TPD input, with expansion capability to 500 TPD. This design can be downsized, if necessary, to meet the specific needs of Hawaii County. WHAT IS THE MINIMUM TONNAGE YOU CAN PROCESS DAILY? 50 tons per day input of mixed MSW. WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM TONNAGE YOU CAN PROCESS DAILY? 500 tons per day input of mixed MSW at a single facility. CAPITAL COSTS: Capital cost is estimated to be 2S million dollars to build a ZSO TPD facility, exclusive of the cost of land. ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS: Annual operating costs will be determined primarily by the amount of waste received. 50;000-tons of MSW processed per year at $80 per ton would..result in an approximate annual operating cost of $4,000,000. COST PER TON: Processing .cost per -ton (the. "tipping fee") will be approximately $80. REUSE is willing to discuss all possible ways to reduce this estimate. REUSE is wishes to "lock in" the tipping fee on a long- term (twenty to thirty years) basis. FINANCING POSSII3ILTIES: REUSE believes it has private financing available for the total cost of construction of a 250 TPD facility in Iiawai' i County. I-Iowever, any government assistance .(such as grants which would reduce the amount of construction capital needed from private sources or reduced-interest financing which would lower the cost of capital) would directly lower the tipping. fee. ACREAGE NEEDED: Depending on the design capacity of the facility and specific topography, a minimum of 20 acres will be required. POWER GENERATED: None. OTHER END PRODUCTS: The RealEarth Composting Process produces "RealEarth Compost" REUSE has a proven ability to produce atop-quality, organic compost which can be beneficial to agriculture and horticulture. Government and academic studies have shown that RealEarth Compost is highly beneficial in land reclamation and erosion control applications.' Other government and academic studies have shown compost to be effective in numerous bioremecliation projects. Unclassifiable end products (inorganic mixed material that might remain after recycling and composting) can be used as the basis for building, materials; incinerator feedstock, clean fill and other such uses. The amount of this material is estimated to be no more than 3% ofthe weight.of the total incoming waste. RISKS: None .ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: REUSE can convert materials which mast people call "waste," (materials which also have potentially disastrous environmental impact} into an unquestionably beneficial material, RealEarth Compost. REUSE produces compost with no production of harmful by-products. The facility itself produces no smoke, noise, dust or objectionable odors; it does not attract vermin, birds, or vector. The facility doesn't even produce waste water (it can recycle its own waste water in addition to disposing of sewage sludge and other liquid waste. SOCIAL. IMPACTS: A REUSE composting facility brings a new, clean industry to a community. Job descriptions start with unskilled/entry level and also include trade; technical-and management. Operation of the facility is only the beginning for job creation and improvement of the environment through proper disposal of MS~I. A second industry will be created based on use of the compost. Marketing.-and sales of-the compost will require additional, employees, and the use of the compost will provide additional social, economic and environmental benefits. Facilities for tours and educational programs to explain composting and the consequences of proper, versus improper, disposal. of MSW will be an integral part of the facility design. Increased environmental awareness related to source separation, reduction and reuse, leading to the message of the benefits of.proper waste disposal will-be a primary goal of the community interaction programs at the. facility. Finally, it is the desire of REUSE to establish the facility as the centerpiece of aworld-renown research center. A "National Compost Research Center" would attract academicians, environmentalists and government representatives: from throughout the world. Such a research center would advance and promote the science -and methodolagy of waste disposal. It would research and develop new uses for compost and greatly increase the environmental and economic status of Hawai' i County. TIMELINE FROM ACCEPTANCE TO FULL OPERATION: 18 months.. Thank-you for reviewing these responses. I hope they will serve as a base of understanding. for my presentation scheduled-for October 16 at 9:OOAM. I am looking forward to theopportunity. to describe the. REUSE Composting Process in more detail, to explain to the Committee why REUSE offers the best long-term solution to the problem of disposal of 1vISW and to answer any additional questions Sincerely Yours, 7 J _ Steve Powell, Limited Partner COUNTY OF IIA'~'VAII WASTE DEDUCTION QUESTIONAII~ October 1, 2002 Note: The following process proposed by EnerWaste has teen successfully used to dispose of MSW for 12 years at Sydney, NS. 1. Type of Technology The technology we plan on using is mass combustion yielding steam and electric energy production. For the current Hilo landfill waste stream we would propose to provide two combustion units of 150 tons per day each and operate-them initially 5 days per week. 2.

Email enerwaste@aol.com 8. Website www.enerwaste.com 9. ~'laat waste streams will you process? (glass, metal, plastics, greenwaste, paper, Aber, other) a. All residential waste from COH Transfer Stations b. All Commercial waste c. Offal, dead animals, fish carcass d. Cut tires e. Sewage sludge f. Waste oil and grease 10. What components of the waste streaan will you not process? a. Construction/Demolition materials b. Clearing and grubbing materials c. Asbestos d. Medical waste* e. Contaminates soil* f. Green waste** *-These can be processed safely with special handling and recordkeeping. Green waste can be handled if the. alternative of shredding for mulch is unavailable or cost prohibitive. 11. What percentages of the waste streaBn will you divert from landfilling? Approximately 90% of the waste currently delivered to the Hilo landfill will be diverted. 12. What is the composition of any residue (in tons and as a percentage of total 1l~ISW)? The residue from this process is ash and is non-hazardous. Ordinarily this amounts to I5-25% of the incoming waste stream or, for the current Hilo landfill, eight to fourteen thousand tons per year. This ash composes approximately S% of the incoming waste by volume. 13. Is the technology scalable? Yes, we manufacture units as small as SO tons per day and as large as 200 tons per day, so the plant can be scaled up or down and added to in increments as waste increases. 14. What is the minimum tonnage you can process daily? Generally we may turn down our units to 70% of rated capacity and still achieve the specified results. For the plant we would propose to replace the Hilo landfill, we would shut one unit down and operate the other unit at 105 tons -per day to achieve maximum turndown. 15. What is the maximum tonnage you can process daily? We propose to install two units rated 150 tons per day each and operate them 5 days per week initially. The rated capacity is, therefore, 300 tons per day. As the waste stream grows, we would increase operation to seven days per week which we estimate would permit disposal of up to 94,500 tons per year (allowing for planned and unscheduled outages) before the plant would need to be expanded. In either case, receiving of waste is planned for seven days per week. On-site waste storage will be limited to approximately one week of storage. 16. Capital costs: Capital costs range from fifteen to twenty million dollars, depending on the method of financing, cost of land and other factors. 17. Annual operating costs: For five day per weele operation, the: operating and maintenance costs are _ expected to amount to $30-$40 per ton, excluding capital cost retirement, profit, land acquisition costs.and-any fee for;disposal of ash at Puuanahulu Land. fill. The total annual operating cost is a function of the total waste processed which, for this purpose we assume is 90% of the current Kilo- landfill waste of approximately 63,000 tons. 18. Cost per ton: If, by "Cost per °Ton", it is meant to be the total tipping fee, this would amount to the annual operating costs indicated above-.plus the capital cost retirement, profit, land acquisition costs and any fee for disposal of ash at Puuanahulu landfill, less any credit for power sold to the utility. 19. Financing possibilities: This system of waste :disposal is well recognized in the private and public financial;markets and.. is readily financed in either market. It is our intention to seek private financing in conjunction with a private operator if selected for this project. We have two private operators who have indicated a desire to own and operate this facility. 20. Acreage: needed: For the 3:00 TPI~ plant we envision, the plant will occupy an area of less than 3 acres. 21. Power generated (in MVO: This process produces 5,500 kW (5.5 MW) based on rate of 300 TPD. Internal consumption amounts to 275 kW (0.275 MW). Net power to the grid is, therefore, 5,225 kW (5.5251vIW), based on processing at a rate of 300 tons per day. 22.Other end: products: We can provide optional processes to -turn the ash irsto usable products such as aggregate, cinder blocks, etc. These processes have been demonstrated but we have not researched the market on the island of Hawaii. 23. Environmental ianpaets: The principal negative environmental impact is in stack emissions. This process is equipped with the xnaximugn available control technology which will reduce emissions to a fraction of the amounts allowable by regulatory authorities (EPA and DOH. The ash is non-hazardous but, by Hawaii State law, will be required to be landfilled in a "anonofill",-that is, a landfill area devoted to ash alone. Noise impact is a site specific consideration, however the maximum-truckloads is expected to be I5-20 per day and will be restricted to daylight hours. This process hors a lower impact on greenhouse gases than dandfePls and actually emits less criteriagollutants than the diesel engines in truclrs which would otdaeravise haul the avaste to tJae Puuanalaulu land~l~ 24. Social impacts: The principal negative social impact as one of a negative perception that this process is equivalent to incineration. It does not, iaa any way, resereabte the incinerators of the past It is clean, unimposing, and an environmentally beneficial means of waste disposal This process can operate in conjunction with as well as in lieu of other recycling>eyforts for paper, glass, greenwaste and other potentially recyclable wastes. Tlais process eontrdbutes to energy independence .and provides high quality yobs to the communit'. 25.7['imeline-from acceptance to faall operation: The manufacturing/construction time for this system is approximately 18 months from receipt of an air permit. Time to obtain an air permit is-site specific and would range from 12 months -for a site with an existing Covered Source-permit to 35 months for a site requiring ambient air quality monitoring and full PSD review. WORKSHEET FOR 1lENDORS OF WASTE RE®UCT{ON TECHNOLOGY FOR IiA~I1~A1~1 COUNTY COUNCIL COIIAMITTEE ON PARKS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OCTOBER 15 AND 16, -2002, HILO, FiAWAI`I Thank you for including CCI US Corporation (CCI US) in your request for information regarding waste reduction technologies. We have included a short summary of our company and technology below prior to addressing the specific questions in the worksheet. ~®mpany and 1"echn®I®gy Summary CCI US is a wholly owned subsidiary of Canada Composting Inc. (CCI), a privately held Canadian company that builds, owns and operates resource recovery plants that process the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (food waste, paper, cardboard, packaging, yard waste, etc.) to produce compost and energy (renewable green power). CCI plants are based on an advanced mechanical biological treatment process (the BTA Process) developed by Biotechnische Abfallverwertung GmbI~ & Co. of Munich, Germany (BTA). CCI: is the exclusive North American license holder for the BTA Process; the world's most widely installed commercial system using anaerobic digestion to process the organic fraction of Ivliuiicipal Solid 'Waste (MSV~. Known as the `BTA-Process," the system combines a wet, mechanical pretreatmient process with a highly efficient anaerobic digestion system (AD). The pretreatment process serves the dual function of removing non-biodegradable contaminants from the waste: stream (thereby ensuring the quality of the compost) while simultaneously preparing the remaining ;organic waste fraction for rapid biological .digestion. The digestion process converts ?0% of the organic solids to high-methane-content biogas. The biogas is used to fuel cogeneration engines to produce electricity. The solids left over from the process are dewatered and aerated to producehigh-nutrient compost. CCI US's parent company, Canada Composting Inc., has installed the world's largest BTA Process plant in Newmarket, Ontario. This:-plant began. operations in late 2000 and is designed to process source-separated organics (SSO) and organic rich waste streams from municipal and private waste generators as well as waste management companies. This plant will process up to 150,000 metric tonnes (i.e., 165,000 US tons) per year of commercial waste. The plant is also negotiating contracts from surrounding municipalities. The plant will convert the waste stream into approximately 50,000 aYaetric tonnes of compost and 5 megawatts of electrical power and thermal energy. CCI has also sold a plant to the City of Toronto. Currently, the plant has just completed. construction and is in the start up process. This plant is designed to process both Waxed waste and source-separated waste and will be used to assess the viability and operational costs of processing unsorted mixed waste in comparison to source-separated organics (SSO). The plant will process 15,000 tonnes per year of mixed waste and 25,000 tonnes per year of source separated waste. CCI was selected to deliver this plant after a global RFP process was conducted by the City of Toronto. The City determined that the BTA Process provided the greatest opportunity to recover recyclable materials and divert the maximum amount of waste from the landfill. Additional information about the BTA Process and CCI can be found at our web site, www.canadacomposting.com. There you can find a reference list of commercial plants that are in existence today. CCI and BTA have accumulated a wealth of knowledge about building facilities that will accept and process waste. CCI is well positioned to provide a cost effective and reliable facility to meet the requirements of your City and County. ~esp®nse to Questions TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY: Anaerobic Digestion w/ Pre-Processing for Recyclables Name of Firm: CCI US Corporation Years in Business: 11 Years Name of Technology: The BTA Process Principal Contact Person: Kevin Matthews, President Address: 390 Davis Drive, Suite 301 City: Newmarket, Ontario L3Y 7T8 Country: Canada Telephone No.: (905) 830-1 Y60 Fax: (905) 830-0416 E-mail Address: ccikevin(~attglobal.net What waste stream components will you process? (glass, metal, plastics, greenwaste, paper~ber, other) A CCI Plant utilizing the BTA Process can handle and process a mixed municipal solid waste stream. The BTA Process has two main processing aspects. First is the front-end separation process that used to separate the organic material from the inorganic material. The second aspect is the anaerobic digestion (AD) of the organic material (i.e., food waste, soiled paper, yard trimmings, pet wastes, etc.). The AD . process is how the energy value in the waste is captured for reuse. To handle mixed waste, a facility would. include a material recovery facility (MRF) in advance of the AD process. The MRF would be designed to remove -the recyclable elements of -the waste stream (i.e., primarily ferrous, aluminum, glass, plastic, cardboard and high quality paper) as well as materials unsuitable for AD (e.g., wood, textiles, carpet, C&D debris, etc.). The MRF would be designed specifically for the waste stream and would utilize a combination of hand sort lines and automated equipment (e.g., trommel screens, disk screens, magnetic separator, eddy current separator) as deemed most appropriate and efficient. CCI .has designed -and implemented this type of :facility far -the City of Toronto and is therefore experienced with developing facilities for unsorted MSW. What components of the ::waste stream wall you not process? We can "process" the entire waste stream, however, some materials will not be recyclable or suitable for the AD process. These materials typically include- non-recyclable grades of plastic (e.g., film plastic), construction and demolition debris, carpets, textiles and contaminated wood (e.g., painted and treated wood products). Woody materials (brush and limbs) and clean dimensional lumber can be recovered and ground-for use in aerobic composting operations or as mulch. What percentage of the waste stream will you divert from landfilling? This is highly dependant on the character of the waste feedstock that is provided to the facility. To answer this question accurately, we would need to perform a detailed mass balance based on the specific wastestream anticipated at the facility. However, based on similar waste stream analyses performed for the City of Toronto we can provide the following breakdown as an example. Process Output Approximate. Percentage Recyclables 15-25% Compost 30-35% Biogas 10-12% Organic Water 30-40% Residue to Landfill 15-20% What as the composition of any residue (in tons and as a percentage of total MSS? The following table provides an additional breakdown of the estimated residue from the NIlZF and exiting the BTA Process. Pulper Heavy Fraction (glass, metal, bones, etc.) 1-2% Light Fraction (plastic and textile) 5-6% Grit (sand and inerts) 1-2°/® IvdRF Residue (white goods, lumber, carpet, etc.) 8-10% Is the technology scaleable? Yes, the-BTA Process is a modular and scaleable system. In initial implementations, the plant is sized to process a planned volume of input material.. The front end of the processing being a batch process is a configuration of processing lines. As such, as future volumes grow, additional lines can be added. Furthermore, the actual size of equipment that is used in each line is scaleable. This allows for maximum flexibility. In the area. of anaerobic digestion, the digesters are generally sized to match he desired volume. In the future when growth is required, additional digesters are added. All that is generally required when entering a proj ect of this nature is to take growth-auto consideration and allow for the appropriate space for the future equipment. What is the minimum tonnage you can process daily? As discussed above, our Toronto facility is sized to handle about 15,000 metric tons of mixed waste per year or about 25,000 tpy of source-separated organic waste. This would represent the lower end of the size range of plants that we consider practical to implement on a commercial basis. What is the maximum tonnage you can process daily? As discussed above, our Newmarket Ontario facility will process up to 150,000 metric tonnes (i.e., 165,000 US -tons) per year of commercial waste. This is the largest operational facility of its type, however, larger plants could be implemented based onthe-experience gained in Newmarket. Capital costs: The cost for a facility is difficult to estimate at this time without a better understanding of the waste stream, volume of waste, local cost of land, etc., However, based on our experience in Ontario it would be reasonable to estimate a cost of $10 to $15 million dollars for a facility capable of processing 30,000 to 30,000 tpy of mixed waste. Annual operating costs: The annual O&M costs cannot be accurately estimated at this time without additional information and this information is considered confidential and proprietary for our operating facilities. We will be happy to discuss annual O&M costs once we have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the City and/or County. Cost per ton: It would be premature to estimate a tipping fee at this time. Tipping fees will depend on the character of the waste stream, volume of waste, construction costs, local labor costs, disposal costs for rejects and markets for compost, recyclables and power. For perspective, however, we are currently charging approximately $40 USD at our Newmarket facility -for processing of organic rich municipal waste. Adding a MRF operation to the front end would likely add an additional cost element of $20 to $30 USD. Financing possibilities: We can privately finance a privately owned and operated facility on the basis of a long term contract from the City/County to provide waste to the facility at a specified tipping fee (e.g., put-or-pay contract). We have also explored various publicly funded bonds that can often provide very attractive interest rates. Acreage needed: The MRF and BTA Process facility would require approximately 5 acres depending on available infrastructure (e.g., scales, access roads, etc.) Aerobic finishing of the anaerobic compost produced by the process would require a significantly .larger parcel, however, we would likely propose partnering with any existing compost operators on the Island to handle this portion of the process. Power generated (in Mme: The power generated will again depend on the character and volume of the waste stream. A more organic rich -waste stream will generate -more: bogas and therefore more power. Avery approximate estimate would be about one megawatt (continuous) for 30,000 tpy of waste. Other end products: Once the anaerobic digestion process is completed and the maximum amount of biogas is extracted, the remaining solid fraction is separated from the organic liquid and the resulting material is anaerobic compost. This material is aerobically cured into. a mature product for sale in the market -using traditional aerobic windrow mehods or aerated static piles. Risks: The primary risk from the City/County perspective would be entering into along-term commitment to provide- waste to the facility. However, there .are well-established legal and contractual procedures for minimizing the. risk to public agencies associated with this type of project. Environmental impacts: The BTA process was designed to minimize the environmental impacts associated with processing and disposal of municipal waste. The primary impacts associated with a facility will include traffic to the facility and visual impact (associated with an industrial type facility where there was none previously). Odor is an unavoidable issue when dealing with municipal solid waste. and therefore must be considered a potential environmental impact. However, numerous .safeguards are provided in the design and operation to minimize odors associated with the facility. These include engineering measures such as a fully enclosed tipping floor and processing area with negative air handling and a state of the art biofilter. Proper siting of the facility can greatly minimize the environmental impacts noted above. Socaal impacts: We consider the social impacts associated with a project of this type to be positive. We are greatly reducing the negative environmental effects (e.g., air and groundwater pollution, unsightly disposal areas, greenhouse gas emissions, vectors, odors, etc.) associated with typical landfill operations. And, perhaps most importantly we are providing an estimated 20 to 30 jobs for local residents, a new source of 100% renewable energy, and organic rich compost for improving depleted soils. Timeline from acceptance to full operation: It is hard to estimate the amount of time required for permitting of a facility as it varies greatly depending on local factors, however, we typically assume one to two years. Following issuance of permits, we estimate construction would take approximately 12 to 18 months. Therefore it is reasonable to assume about 3 to 4 years:to complete the project from authorization to proceed.

TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY: Waste-to-Energy, Patented Mass-Bum Combustion System Name of Company: Barlow Projects, Inc. Years in Business: Bartow Projects has been in business 8 years. The technology has been operating successfully for five years. Contact Person: Jody Allione Mailing Address: 1261iia Xanthe, Newport Beach, CA 92663 Phone: (949) 675-6776 Email: inf~a.barlowproiects.com or jallioneCc~adelphia.net or jodyC~mail.com Website: www.barlowprojects.com What waste stream components will you process? (glass, metal, plastics, greenwaste, paper fiber, other) The advantage of a mass-burn style waste-to-energy system is that it is capable of processing all types of municipal, commercial and light industrial wastes. However, recyclables can be removed on the front end and ferrous metals can be removed from the ash stream on the back-end if desired. What components of the waste stream will you not process? The Barlow process will not be capable of processing oversize and bulky materials that cannot be fed into the combustion chamber, nor will it handle construction and demolition (C&D) materials. What percentage of the waste stream will you divert from landfilling? 90% by volume What is the composition of any residue (in tons and as a percentage of total MSW)? The residue is made up of combustion ash and fly ash from the air pollution control system. The U.S. EPA has stated that ash from a modern waste-to-energy facility is non-hazardous and safe for land filling. After processing it is 10% by volume of the MSW waste stream. Is the technology scaleable? Yes, the Barlow technology is scalable from 100 - 400 TPD per train. Facility's can then be designed (or expanded at a later date) to include multiple trains to handle larger waste streams. What is the minimum tonnage you can process daily? The Barlow system can be scaled down to process as little as 100 tons per day per train. What is the maximum tonnage you can process daily? The Barlow system can be scaled up to process as much as 400 tons per day per train. Capital costs: Capital costs vary depending on the size of the facility in question-and local construction costs but we would- estimate that it would be between- $100,000 - $125,000 per daily ton of waste processed. Annual operating costs: Operating costs should be between $25 - $40/Ton before energy revenues. Cost per ton: Should. be between $45 - $55/Ton in ahigh-energy market place like Hawaii Financing possibilities: Barlow offers to develop projects with either Public or Private ownership options depending upon the needs of the customer. Acreage needed: A minimum of 5 acres Power generated (in MW): Depends on waste processed and steam usage. A typical 100 TPD facility will generate 2 MW net of parasitic loads. Other end products: A WTE facility can generate steam for process or district heating use or electricity or both (co-generation) Risks: None. This is a proven technology. Environmental impacts: Minimal. Modern waste-to-energy facilities must comply with very strict EPA air and waste water discharge requirements. Waste ash can be used for a variety of applications and leachate has been shown to be close to US EPA drinking water standards. Social impacts: Minimal. A modern waste-to-energy facility will present no more noise or traffic than a landfill and because the enclosed tipping hall is kept under a negative pressure, pulling all air through the furnace, odors outside the facility are not a problem. A WTE facility will also employ between 12 -16 people working multiple shifts. Timeline.from acceptance to full operation: 18 - 24 months after permitting has been completed. iNORKSHEET-FOR VEN®0125 OF WASTE REDl9CTiON TECiiNOL®GY FOR HAWAI'! GOt9NTY COl9NC#~.
