In the case of the Delayed Closing, Parent and Seller shall, from the Closing Date to the date of the Delayed Closing, establish (if not already established) and maintain, at the expense of Buyer, separate books of account and financial statements relating to such Delayed Assets. Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s expense, to audit such accounts (upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times) and Parent and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer and its accountants in any such audit. Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, keep confidential all information in relation to any such Delayed Assets with the same degree of care as such party maintains its own confidential information. Parent, Seller and Buyer shall keep each other reasonably informed of matters within their knowledge that are reasonably likely to affect the other in relation to any such Delayed Assets.

Section 2.7 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within 65 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a consolidated unaudited balance sheet of the Company Group (the “Post-Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a post-closing financial certificate (the “Post-Closing Financial Certificate”) setting forth the calculation of the Closing Net Company Debt and the Net Working Capital (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), in each case based on the Post-Closing Balance Sheet and as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, which shall be calculated on a basis consistent with the principles and methodologies used to prepare the Audited Balance Sheet and Schedule 2.2(b) and Schedule 2.2(c). The Closing Financial Certificate has been, and the Post-Closing Balance Sheet and Post-Closing Financial Certificate shall be, prepared (i) in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Audited Balance Sheet and (ii) otherwise applying the accounting principles and reflecting those adjustments and allocations described in Schedule 2.2(b) and Schedule 2.2(c) (collectively, the “Accounting Principles”). The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Financial Certificate and the Post-Closing Financial Certificate and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 2.7 is to measure the changes in Net Working Capital and Net Company Debt, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies that differ from the Accounting Principles for the purpose of preparing the Closing Financial Certificate or Post-Closing Financial Certificate. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.7, during the 65-day period following the Closing, Buyer will cause the Company Group to cooperate with Seller, and Seller and its accountants and advisors shall be permitted reasonable access to review the Company Group’s books and records and work papers, in connection with Buyer’s preparation of the Post-Closing Financial Certificate.

(b) After delivery of the Post-Closing Financial Certificate, if Seller has any objections to the Post-Closing Financial Certificate, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within 20 Business Days after delivery of the Post-Closing Financial Certificate, the Post-Closing Financial Certificate shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within 20 Business Days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, Seller and Buyer shall each promptly designate an independent certified public accountant (other than Ernst & Young) which shall in turn select a third independent certified public accountant (other than Ernst & Young)

(the “Independent Auditor”) whereupon such dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Auditor for resolution. Seller and Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Auditor shall be final, binding on and non-appealable by the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000,000 and the Independent Auditor awards $600,000 in favor of Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and 40% of the costs would be borne by Seller, on the other hand.

(c) (i) If the Closing Net Company Debt determined in accordance with subsection (b) above is higher than Estimated Net Company Debt, then Seller shall pay to Buyer (or if the Closing Net Company Debt is lower than the Estimated Net Company Debt, Buyer shall pay to Seller) the amount of such difference in immediately available funds.

(ii) If Closing Net Working Capital is:

(x) above the Working Capital Target, then Buyer shall pay Seller the amount of such excess.

(y) below the Working Capital Target, then Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of such deficiency.

(iii) Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Financial Certificate) deliver to Seller the amount, if any, determined pursuant to Sections 2.7(a) and 2.7(b) to be due by Buyer to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller. Seller shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Financial Certificate) deliver to Buyer the amount, if any, determined pursuant to Sections 2.7(a) and 2.7(b) to be due by Seller to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Buyer.

The foregoing payments shall be netted if determined at the same time. Any payment contemplated by this Section 2.7(c) shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(d) Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and provide each other and, if applicable the Independent Auditor, reasonable access to such books, records and employees (including those of the Company Group) as are reasonably requested in connection with the matters addressed in Section 2.7(b).

Section 2.8 Settlement and Elimination of Intercompany Debt and Intercompany Trade Accounts. Intercompany Debt Accounts Payable and Intercompany Debt Accounts Receivable shall be settled in consideration of the payment described in Section 2.3(b). Intercompany Trade Accounts will be paid and settled as set forth in the invoices for each such Intercompany Trade Account, but in any event shall be paid and settled no later than 60 days after the Closing Date.

Section 2.9 Designated Buyer. Prior to the Closing, Buyer may elect to cause an affiliate or wholly-owned Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any such Subsidiary and to cause any such Subsidiary to perform the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, including rights and obligations of Buyer to acquire the Shares (each a “Designated Buyer”); provided, however, that no such assignment shall otherwise vary or diminish any of Buyer’s rights or obligations under this Agreement.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Parties agrees to file, and to cause each of their Affiliates to file in conjunction with such party, Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act and similar applications with any other applicable Governmental Authority whose approval is required in connection with the consummation of the purchase by Buyer of the Shares as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement. Parent, Seller and Buyer agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, to (i) request in their respective Notification and Report Forms under the HSR Act for early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, (ii) cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any governmental Consent required for the Closing (including through compliance with the HSR Act, (iii) respond to any governmental requests

Each Party shall furnish to the other Party such necessary information and assistance as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental Authority referred to in Section 7.1(b). Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act.

(c) Buyer shall pay all of the filing fees associated with the HSR Act and any antitrust filings or notifications that may be required in jurisdictions outside of the United States (“International Competition Laws”).

The provisions of this Section 6.5(b) shall survive for two (2) years after the Closing.

Section 6.6 Notification of Certain Matters. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, each Party will give prompt written or electronic notice to the other Party after it obtains Knowledge of: (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event which will result, or has a reasonable prospect of resulting, in the failure of any condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be complied with or satisfied and (ii) any failure of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any condition, covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder.

Section 6.7 Post-Closing Access; Preservation of Records. From and after the Closing, Buyer will make or cause to be made available to Seller all books, records, Tax Returns and documents of the Company Group (and the assistance of employees responsible for such books, records and documents or whose participation that Seller determines is otherwise reasonably necessary or desirable in connection therewith) during regular business hours, upon reasonable notice as may be reasonably necessary for (i) investigating, settling, preparing for the defense or prosecution of, defending or prosecuting any Action, (ii) preparing reports to stockholders and Government Authorities or (iii) such other purposes for which access to such documents is believed by Seller to be reasonably necessary, including preparing and delivering any accounting or other statement provided for under this Agreement or otherwise, preparing Tax Returns or responding to or disputing any Tax audit; provided, however, that access to such books, records, documents and employees will not interfere with the normal operations of the Company Group. Buyer will cause the Company Group to maintain and preserve all such Tax Returns, books, records and other documents for the greater of (A) seven years after the Closing Date or (B) any applicable statutory or regulatory retention period, as the same may be extended and, in each case, shall offer to transfer such records to Seller at the end of any such period by providing Seller with not less than twenty (20) days written notice of Buyer’s intention to destroy or dispose of such records so that Seller may exercise its rights to obtain such records within such twenty (20) day period. Seller shall be responsible for all out of pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by any member of the Company Group in connection with complying with the terms of this Section 6.7. The proviso in the penultimate sentence of Section 6.5 and the final sentence of Section 6.5 shall be equally applicable to this Section 6.7.

Section 6.8 Insurance.

(a) General. Following the Closing, the Seller Policies and the Other Policies shall be and remain the primary liability and casualty insurance for any claim against any member of the Company Group, in respect of an incident occurring prior to the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, insurance requirements of the Company Group shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. As of July 1,

2012, Parent and Seller have caused the first named insured under Seller Policies relating to workers’ compensation, general liability, excess liability, and automobile coverage to be the Company. Subject to the foregoing, effective as of the Closing Date, Parent and Seller will cause the termination of all coverage under Seller Policies (other than those Seller Policies relating to workers’ compensation, general liability, excess liability, and automobile coverage) relating to the Company Group, the Business or any member of the Company Group’s assets and current or former employees and directors of the Company Group in respect of the operation of the Business after the Closing.

(b) Certain Pre-Closing Events. To the extent that any claims arise under insurance policies issued by third-party insurers and owned by or covering any member of the Company Group with respect to occurrences arising prior to the Closing Date, such member shall make claims, through Seller and with the prior consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), under such policies without regard to any other provision hereof, but subject to such conditions set forth in any such policies, including all reporting and notice requirements thereof. Buyer shall be responsible to undertake reporting and administrative handling of such claim under such policies, including the posting of any collateral required under such policies. Buyer and the Company Group shall be responsible for, and neither Buyer nor any member of the Company Group shall have the right to make a claim against the Seller Group with respect to, any “self-insured” or “self-funded” program of risk management or the amount of any deductible or self-insured retention for any loss suffered by any member of the Company Group prior to, on or after the Closing Date, regardless of the date on which the claim is made.

(c) No Representations, Warranties or Covenants. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.13, Parent and Seller make no representations, warranties or covenants regarding the scope, availability or amount of coverage under any insurance policy, and shall not have any responsibility, and shall not be held liable, for the actions of the insurers under insurance policies, including with regard to those claims submitted by Buyer or any member of the Company Group.

(d) Information. To the extent that after the Closing Date either Party reasonably requires any information from the other Party regarding claims data, payroll or other information in order to make filings with insurance carriers or self insurance regulators, the other Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly supply such information.

Section 6.9 Director and Officer Indemnification; Insurance.

(a) For six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Buyer shall cause the Company Group to indemnify and hold harmless the officers and directors of any member of the Company Group who held any such position at any time on or prior to the Closing (collectively, “Indemnified Officers”) in respect of acts or omission occurring prior to the Closing to the same extent as would have been permitted in the organization documents of the applicable member of the Company Group immediately prior to Closing, and Buyer shall cause the applicable member of the Company Group to maintain, for six (6) years from and after the Closing, indemnification provisions in its organizational documents that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Officers than those in effect with respect to such member of the Company Group immediately prior to the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing and in connection therewith, the applicable member of the Company Group shall, and Buyer shall cause such member of the Company Group to, periodically advance or reimburse each Indemnified Officer for all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as such fees and expenses are incurred.

(b) Buyer shall cause to be obtained and maintained in effect, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance protecting the Indemnified Officers with coverages and containing terms and conditions (including with respect to deductible, amount and payment of attorneys’ fees) that are no less favorable than those in existing policies; provided, that in no event shall the Company or any its Subsidiaries be required to pay annual premiums for any such director’s and officer’s liability policy in excess of 300% of the annual premium of such policy in effect as of the date hereof and if such premiums for comparable coverage would exceed such limit then the Company will obtain the maximum coverage available within such limit. The Company may, with the consent of Buyer, but shall not be obliged to, acquire a six (6) year tail policy for the Persons currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that is consistent with the preceding sentence. If acquired, such policy shall be prepaid at the Closing, or if the Company should so elect, any time after Closing, and shall be non-cancelable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Parties agrees that from and after the Closing Date each Indemnified Officer shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement for purposes of enforcing this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10 WARN Act. For the ninety-one (91)-day (inclusive) period immediately following the Closing Date, should Buyer cause any successor or permitted assign of any portion of the Company Group to engage in a “Plant Closing,” “Mass Layoff” or other termination of its employees that gives rise to any notice obligations under the WARN Act, Buyer shall cause the successor or assign to comply with such obligations following the Closing Date. Should such notices be required on or before the Closing Date, Buyer may request that Seller or the Company Group provide appropriate and timely notices prior to the Closing Date in compliance with such obligations, and Seller or Company Group shall provide such notices upon request. Buyer shall indemnify Parent and Seller with respect to any Liability arising under the WARN Act with respect to employees terminated from the Company Group, its successors or assigns following the Closing Date and with respect to notice obligations arising after the Closing Date, provided that, in either case, the Seller or Company Group has complied with Buyer’s requests for Seller or the Company Group to provide appropriate and timely notices on or before the Closing Date.

Section 6.11 Disclosure Schedule Supplements.

(a) From time to time commencing on the date of this Agreement and until the Closing Date, the Company and Seller shall deliver to Buyer written notice of any event or development that would render any representation or warranty of the Company or Seller in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) inaccurate or incomplete due to the events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof such that the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) would not reasonably be expected to be satisfied at Closing (each, a “Seller Schedule Supplement”). No Seller Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to cure any representation or warranty for purposes of or effect a waiver of the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a); however, if a Seller Schedule Supplement is delivered to Buyer by the Company or Seller and the Closing occurs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Buyer shall not be entitled to seek indemnification in respect of the matters set forth on such Seller Schedule Supplement.

(b) From time to time commencing on the date of this Agreement and until the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller written notice of any event or development that would render any representation or warranty of Buyer in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) inaccurate or incomplete due to the events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) would not reasonably be expected to be satisfied at Closing (each, a “Buyer Schedule Supplement”). No Buyer Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to cure any representation or warranty for purposes or effect a waiver of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a);

however, if a Buyer Schedule Supplement is delivered to Seller by Buyer and the Closing occurs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Seller shall not be entitled to seek indemnification in respect of the matters set forth on such Buyer Schedule Supplement.

Section 6.14 Consents to Assignments; Shared Contracts.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the Consent of another Person thereto, would constitute a default or violation thereof, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or its Affiliates under such Contract, claim or right. If any transfer or assignment by Parent or Seller or their Affiliates to Buyer or its Affiliates, or any assumption by Buyer or its Affiliates, of any interest in, or Liability, obligation or commitment under, any Contract requires the Consent of another Person (an “Applicable Consent”), then such transfer or assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such Applicable Consent being obtained. If any Applicable Consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, then the Closing shall nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII.

(b) (i) If requested by Buyer, Parent and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all Consents of the counterparties under the Shared Contracts listed on Schedule 6.14(b) (each, a “Separation Consent”) if required to separate the rights and obligations under the Shared Contracts relating to the Company Group from the rights and obligations relating to the businesses retained by Parent or Seller and their Affiliates after the Closing Date. Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided commercially reasonable assistance to Parent and Seller in connection with obtaining the Separation Consents.

(ii) Unless and until any Applicable Consent or Separation Consent is obtained with respect to a Contract or a Shared Contract, Parent and Seller shall, or shall cause their Affiliates to, enter into an arrangement (a “Pass-Through Arrangement”) with Buyer under which Buyer or its Affiliates shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of the counterparties under the Contracts or Shared Contracts or violating any applicable Law) the economic claims, rights and benefits, and Buyer or such Affiliates shall become responsible for the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date (including, if applicable, the payment of rent) under the applicable Contract or Shared Contract (only with respect to the rights and obligations relating to the Company Group). Buyer may elect to terminate a Pass-Through Arrangement at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent or Seller be required to enter into or maintain any Pass-Through Arrangement after the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c) For a period commencing at the Closing and continuing for the duration of the applicable contractual commitment, the Company Group shall provide services to the Seller Group, and the Seller Group shall provide services to the Company Group, under the applicable Shared Contracts at the prices and on the terms in effect as of the date hereof. Each Party shall provide the other Party with (i) all information necessary to enable the other Party to operate in accordance with this Section 6.14(c), including to the extent available a copy of the related customer contract, (ii) all data and information required to be included in any bid or proposal of the other party, and (iii) all information necessary to enable the other Party to invoice customers.

(ii) Parent and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company Group from and against any and all liabilities incurred in connection with any claim or action pertaining to the provision of services by the Seller Group pursuant to Section 6.14(c), except for liabilities arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Buyer or the Company Group.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.14 shall limit Buyer or Seller’s obligations under Section 6.3, or Seller or its Affiliates’ obligations under the Transition Services Agreement.

Section 6.15 Transition Services. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to finalize the list of Transition Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) set forth on Annex A to the Transition Services Agreement. The final Annex A to the Transition Services Agreement will be attached to the definitive form of such agreement executed at Closing and shall provide the following services under the Transition Services Agreement for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date (the “Initial Transition Period”) at no cost to Buyer: an IT environment, SSC environment, and payroll environment necessary for supporting the Business in a manner consistent with the manner of support provided by Parent prior to Closing (the “Initial Transition Services”). For a period of six (6) months following the Initial Transition Period, Seller shall provide the Initial Transition Services at a cost per such Initial Transition Service requested by Buyer to be negotiated in good faith and agreed by the Parties. The Initial Transition Services and all services otherwise reflected in the Transition Services Agreement shall be provided using Parent’s and Seller’s existing contracts, licenses and other assets. Parent and Seller shall also assist Buyer with the separation and segregation of the IT Assets transferred by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.23 at no cost to Buyer; provided, however, that the Initial Transition Services and the services otherwise reflected in the Transition Services Agreement shall not otherwise include, nor shall Parent nor Seller otherwise provide, services involved in the migration from Seller’s overall IT environment to Buyer’s systems unless Parent, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate a separate fee to be paid by Buyer to Parent and Seller for such services. All services contemplated by this Section 6.15 and otherwise reflected in the Transition Services Agreement shall terminate on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

Section 6.16 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall make offers of employment to all Non-Company Group Employees.

From the Closing Date until the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates or the Company Group to, (i) provide Business Employees who are not covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement with compensation arrangements (including base salary, bonus and commissions) and employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate (as determined without reference to any specific type of benefit or any specific Business Employee), to those provided to the Business Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) honor all employment, severance or similar agreements to which the Business Employees are party. Further, Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates or the Company Group to, continue in effect in accordance with their terms, the Company’s 2012 Management Incentive Plan and all other 2012 annual bonus plans or programs that are sponsored or maintained by the Company Group and shall honor all obligations under all such plans and programs and shall pay all amounts that become due thereunder.

(b) Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, recognize each Business Employee’s service with the Company Group or its Affiliates as service with Buyer and its Affiliates, as applicable, for all purposes (other than for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan) under Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements in which the Business Employees will be entitled to participate on or after the Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Plans”) to the extent that such service was credited under the equivalent Company Benefit Plans. Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, waive any pre-existing condition limitations and eligibility waiting periods under Buyer’s Plans (but only to the extent such pre-existing condition limitations and eligibility waiting periods were satisfied under the Company Benefit Plans as of the Closing Date) and shall recognize (or cause to be recognized) the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by Business Employees and their respective spouses and dependents during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying the deductibles and co-payment or out-of-pocket limitations for such calendar year under the relevant Buyer’s Plans.

(c) To the extent Business Employees participate in a dependent care or medical expense reimbursement account under a Company Benefit Plan (“Seller’s Flexible Account Plan”) during the calendar year that includes the Closing, Buyer shall establish (or cause its Affiliates, if applicable, to establish) one or more comparable plans (“Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan”), and Buyer’s Flexible Account Plan shall (i) assume the obligations of the Seller’s Flexible Account Plan with respect to Business Employees as of the Closing Date and (ii) provide the same level of dependent care and medical expense reimbursement account benefits as those provided under Seller’s Flexible Account Plan at least through the end of the plan year in effect as of the Closing. Buyer shall be responsible for all liability for and administration of reimbursement claims that have not been received by Parent, Seller, or one of their Affiliates as of the date of the Closing, regardless of when the claim was incurred. Parent shall transfer to Buyer accumulated net contributions to any such account that covers a Business Employee.

(d) Buyer shall have the sole responsibility for “continuation coverage” benefits provided after the Closing for all Business Employees and “qualified beneficiaries” of Business Employees for whom a “qualifying event” occurs after the Closing Date. Seller shall retain responsibility for any qualifying event occurring prior to the Closing Date or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The terms “continuation coverage,” “qualified beneficiaries” and “qualifying event” shall have the meanings ascribed to them under Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601-608 of ERISA. Parent and Seller shall be solely responsible for providing medical, dental, and vision benefits on or after the Closing Date to any Business Employee who becomes entitled to such benefits upon such Business Employee’s termination of employment on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of any employment agreement amendment to which both Parent and Company are parties.

(e) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish a defined contribution plan for the benefit of the Business Employees and/or allow the Business Employees to participate in a defined contribution plan Buyer presently maintains (in either case, the “Buyer’s 401(k) Plan”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall cause to be transferred from the Veolia Environmental Services North America Corp. 401(k) Retirement Plan to the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan in a spinoff/merger transaction liability for the vested and unvested account balances, including any outstanding loans, of the Business Employees, together with cash (or other assets acceptable to the trustee of the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan) equal to such liability, and Buyer shall cause the Buyer’s 401(k) Plan to accept such transfer. The obligations of Parent, Seller, and Buyer under the preceding sentence are conditioned upon the receipt from the other of a current favorable Internal Revenue Service determination letter or opinion letter with respect to the other’s 401(k) plan (or such other evidence of the tax-qualified status of such plan as Buyer, Parent, or Seller may provide).

(f) Parent and Seller shall retain the responsibility for payment of all covered medical and dental claims under the Veolia Environmental Services North America Employee Health Benefit Plan with respect to Business Employees to the extent such claims were incurred (i) prior to the Closing Date or (ii) during a continuous period of hospitalization which commences prior to the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, and in each such case Buyer shall not be responsible for payment of such claims or expenses.

(g) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for providing short-term disability benefits and long-term disability benefits to those Business Employees who become disabled on or after the Closing Date, to the extent consistent with applicable benefit plans. Parent and Seller shall retain responsibility for providing short-term disability benefits and long-term disability benefits to those Business Employees who, prior to the Closing Date, had qualified for short-term disability benefits or long-term disability benefits under the terms of the applicable Company Benefit Plan.

(i) To the extent that the terms of any Collective Bargaining Agreement provide requirements or benefits that differ from those set forth in this Section 6.16, such terms shall govern in lieu of this Section 6.16. In cases where benefit plans or benefit coverages provided to Business Employees covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements are maintained under Company Benefit Plans that are sponsored or maintained by a member of the Seller Group, prior to the Closing Buyer will bargain and negotiate in good faith and use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into written agreements with any labor unions representing such Business Employees to substitute the benefit plans or benefit coverages provided by the Seller Group under such Collective Bargaining Agreements with benefit plans or coverages of Buyer and that otherwise comply with the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement.

(j) Prior to the Closing Date, any member of the Company Group required to provide notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or engage in bargaining with respect to the effects of the transactions pursuant to any employment Law or collective bargaining agreement will timely provide such notice and engage in such bargaining (subject to Section 6.1(a)(ii)(E)).

(b) On or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall negotiate in good faith with Evergreen or such other indemnity company as Buyer may elect, and otherwise at their sole cost and expense, use their best efforts to substitute Buyer’s Financial Assurance Instruments for the Company Financial Assurance Instruments and Seller Credit Support Obligations listed in Schedule 6.17(a) or provided by Parent or Seller to any member of the Company Group after the date hereof and of which Parent or Seller gives Buyer written notice no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing. No later than ten (10) Business Days following the Closing, Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, substitute Buyer’s Financial Assurance Instruments for any Company Financial Assurance Instruments and Seller Credit Support Obligations provided by Parent or Seller to any member of the Company Group after the date hereof and of which Parent or Seller gives Buyer written notice within ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing. Such substitutions shall include the assumption by Buyer of, and the release of Parent, Seller, and their Affiliates of all of their respective obligations under, the Company Financial Assurance Instruments and Seller Credit Support Obligations and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Parent and Seller.

(c) If any Company Financial Assurance Instruments or Seller Credit Support Obligations have not been released as of the Closing (“Remaining Obligations”), Buyer shall deliver to Parent and Veolia Environnement at the Closing an irrevocable standby letter of credit in favor of Parent and Veolia Environnement in a stated amount equal to the sum of the aggregate amount of the Remaining Obligations plus 5% of such amount (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall: (i) be issued by (x) Bank of America NA, (y) a bank organized under the laws of and maintaining its principal office in the United States, or (z) a United States branch of a bank organized under the laws of another jurisdiction, in each case for (y) and (z) the long-term unsecured debt obligations (not subject to any credit enhancement) of which are rated A+/A1 or better by S&P and A1/P1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, or a bank acceptable to Parent and Veolia Environnement in their sole and absolute discretion, (ii) have an expiration date not later than twelve (12) months after the Closing, (iii) be subject to one or more drawings by Parent and/or Veolia Environnement, from time to time, on not later than three (3) Business Days’ Notice to Buyer in the event that (A) Parent, Seller, or any of their Affiliates is required to make any payment pursuant to or in connection with any of the Remaining Obligations, (B) there are unpaid amounts due to Seller pursuant to Section 6.17(d), such drawings to be in an amount or amounts equal to such payment or payments or unpaid amounts and to be subject to no other drawing conditions, or (C) Buyer has not substituted all the Remaining Obligations twenty (20) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, such drawings to be equal to the outstanding total commitment under the Letter of Credit and to be subject to no other drawing conditions, (iv) be subject to periodic, but not more frequently than monthly, reductions in stated amount to the extent that any Remaining Obligations are thereafter released, and (v) be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or in a form satisfactory to Parent and Veolia Environnement in their sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall cause such Letter of Credit to be maintained for the benefit of Parent and Veolia Environnement until all of the Remaining Obligations are released in full and all amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.17(d) are indefeasibly paid in full. Upon such release and payment, Parent and Veolia Environnement shall cause the Letter of Credit to be promptly returned to Buyer, or upon notice from Buyer, to the issuing bank for cancellation and shall provide to Buyer evidence of such return.

(d) Buyer acknowledges that if any of the Remaining Obligations are not released on or before the Closing, Parent and Seller will incur substantial costs, including incurring additional interest and financing charges on funds required to be obtained by Parent and Seller, reduction of return on Parent and Seller’s equity, and other operating costs and charges. With respect to any Remaining Obligations that remain outstanding after the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller (x) Parent’s and Seller’s

actual costs and expenses of continuing to maintain the Remaining Obligations outstanding, and (y) as an additional fee to Seller (“Additional Fee”) the Daily Rate for each such calendar day (or part thereof) thereafter until all such Remaining Obligations are released. Any amounts that Buyer are obligated to pay to Seller under this Section 6.17(d) shall (A) be in addition to Parent’s and Seller’s ability to immediately draw the full then-stated amount of the Letter of Credit in accordance with its terms and (B) be payable on a monthly basis by the third day of the month following the month in which such amounts accrue. The “Daily Rate” shall be a dollar amount determined as the product of (i) (w) after 10 Business Days following the Closing and before 30 calendar days following the Closing, 0.5% per annum, (x) after 30 calendar days following the Closing and before 60 calendar days following the Closing, 0.75% per annum, (y) after 60 calendar days following the Closing and before 90 calendar days following the Closing, 1% per annum, and (z) after 90 calendar days following the Closing Date, 1.25% per annum and (ii) the aggregate amount of Parent’s, Seller’s, and their Affiliates’ Liabilities under the Remaining Obligations not released as of such day.

Section 6.18 New Jersey Public Utility Approvals and Licensing and Integrity Review. Buyer, Parent and Seller shall timely and promptly (1) cause to be made all filings which may be required under the Solid Waste Utility Regulations set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:26H et. seq. in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and obtain all corresponding approvals (the “NJDEP Approvals”) from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the “NJDEP”), and (2) submit to the NJDEP all disclosures and other documents to satisfy the licensing and integrity review process mandated by N.J.S.A. 13:1E-126 et. seq. and N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.1 et. seq.

In its sole discretion and at its sole expense Buyer may order a current survey for such Material Owned Real Property, in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Title Company (collectively, the “Surveys”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer so it can obtain the Surveys and, if Buyer elects in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, owner’s policies of title insurance issued by the Title Company, including by executing such Consents or other instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Title Company in connection therewith and providing reasonable access to the Material Owned Real Property to the surveyors.

If the Company is converted to a limited liability company prior to the Closing, all references to “Shares” shall be deemed to mean and include limited liability company interests and not shares of common stock.

Section 6.22 Financing; Financing Cooperation.

(a) Buyer shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things commercially reasonable to timely arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitments and shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Financing Commitments if such amendment, modification or waiver would, or would reasonably be expected to, delay or prevent the Closing Date.

(b) Seller shall cause the Company Group to provide reasonably promptly, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the officers, employees and advisors of the Company Group to provide reasonably promptly, in connection with the Financing, such reasonable cooperation, at Buyer’s sole expense, as is customary for debt financings of the type to be obtained by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, including (i) participation in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and sessions with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies, (ii) furnishing Buyer and its financing sources with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company Group, (iii) assisting with the preparation of customary offering documents and materials, including prospectuses, private placement memoranda, information memoranda and packages, lender and investor presentations, rating agency presentations, and similar documents and materials (collectively, the “Financing Materials”), (iv) requesting assistance and cooperation of the Company Group’s independent accountants, including participating in a reasonable number of drafting and accounting due diligence sessions and providing consents for the use of their reports in materials related to the financing and customary “comfort” letters (including “negative assurance” comfort) with respect to the financial information to be included in any offering memorandum, and providing such accountants with any documentation reasonably requested by them in connection therewith, and (v) facilitating the pledging of collateral (which shall only be effective at Closing); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require (I) any member of the Seller Group or its officers, employees and advisors, to enter into any definitive agreement in connection with the Financing, or (II) with respect to the Company Group, except in connection with the Closing of the Financing, enter into any definitive agreement in connection with the Financing, or (III) Seller or the Company Group or the officers, employees and advisors of Seller or the Company Group, as the case may be, to (x) take any action that would be effective prior to the Closing to the extent it would, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company, (y) pay any commitment or other similar financing fee, or (z) unless promptly reimbursed by Buyer, incur any expenses in connection with the Financing. Buyer shall, other than in the case of a judicial determination that Seller has committed willful misconduct, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Company Group, and the officers, employees and advisors of Seller and the Company Group, from and against any and all damages, losses, costs, liabilities or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the

arrangement of, or otherwise in connection with, the Financing and any information used in connection therewith (other than information relating to the Seller Group and provided to Buyer in writing specifically for use in connection with the Financing).

(c) Nothing set forth in this Section 6.22 shall limit or derogate from the rights and obligations of the Parties under Article IX.

Section 6.23 Transfer of Certain IT Assets. On the Closing Date, Parent and Seller shall transfer to Buyer, without additional consideration, the IT Assets described in Schedule 6.23. The Parties acknowledge that Schedule 6.23 represents an estimation of IT Assets that are on Seller’s books that relate to, or are used in connection with, the Business and that are available for transfer to Buyer. Prior to the Closing, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to finalize such Schedule 6.23 to appropriately and fairly allocate shared IT Assets to enable Buyer to acquire the segregable IT Assets that are necessary for it to operate the Business (exclusive of IT network and general IT environment-related assets).

(iv) The agreements and covenants set forth in Article IX and Article XI shall survive in accordance with the terms thereof and if no time period is specified (including indefinitely), for the applicable statute of limitations.

(b) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless pursuant to Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for the applicable periods set forth in Section 9.3(a), except for claims for indemnification asserted prior to the end of such applicable period (which claims shall survive until final resolution thereof). Buyer shall not be entitled to be indemnified from or held harmless against any Damages pursuant to the terms of Section 9.1 unless Buyer delivers written notice of its claim for indemnification to Parent and Seller pursuant to Section 11.3 on or prior to the dates set forth in Section 9.3(a). Buyer shall not be entitled to make a claim for any Damages resulting from the Retained Claims other than pursuant to Section 9.1(c). Seller shall not be entitled to be indemnified from or held harmless against any Damages pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 unless Seller delivers written notice of its claim for indemnification to Buyer pursuant to Section 11.3.

(c) Buyer shall not be entitled to recover Damages pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b): (i) until the total amount of Damages which Buyer would recover under such sections, but for this Section 9.3(c), exceeds $10,000,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), in which case Buyer shall only be entitled to recover Damages in excess of such amount and (ii) arising out of any single act, omission, event or circumstance (or series of related acts, omissions, events or circumstances) unless such Damages equal or exceed the Per Occurrence Amount, and no Damages less than the Per Occurrence Amount shall be aggregated for purposes of this Section 9.3(c).

(d) The maximum Liability of Parent and Seller with respect to Damages indemnifiable pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) and 9.1(b) other than as a result of a breach of a Fundamental Representation shall be $95,000,000. The maximum Liability of Parent and Seller with respect to Damages indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.1(a) as a result of a breach of a Fundamental Representation shall be the Purchase Price.

(e) Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) for any Damages to the extent that (i) prior to the date hereof the Company Group recorded a reserve in their consolidated books and records with respect to such Damages or in a general category of items or matters similar in nature to the specific items or matters giving rise to such Damages, (ii) such Damages were taken into account in the determination of the Closing Net Company Debt or Closing Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.7, (iii) Buyer could have, with commercially reasonable efforts, mitigated or prevented such Damages, or (iv) such Damages resulted from or are magnified by the action or inaction of Buyer after the Closing.

(f) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified Party in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts received (including amounts received under insurance policies) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party from third parties and any Tax benefit available to any such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the ability to deduct the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Damages (to the extent not taken into account in the computation of the Loss, determined taking into account Tax consequences of receiving the indemnity payment) (such amounts and benefits are collectively referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”). For purposes of determining the timing and amount of a Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to realize a 30 percent net Tax benefit at the time the indemnification payment is made. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any Damages against insurers under any insurance policies or other third parties with respect to any contractual rights of indemnification, reimbursement, offset or recovery against such third parties; provided, however, that to the extent Buyer does not exhaust its remedies available against such insurers or third parties, Seller shall be subrogated to the rights of the Buyer Group (including the Company Group) against such insurers or third parties and Seller’s obligations under this Article IX shall not be diminished. If any Indemnified Party receives any

Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of an Indemnified Claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such Indemnified Claim has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such Indemnified Claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the remaining unpaid balance of such Indemnified Claim, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Indemnified Claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Parent, Seller, and Buyer, as appropriate, will, or will cause each Indemnified Party to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue promptly any claims or rights it may have against all third parties which would reduce the amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under Section 6.9, Article IX and Annex I shall be paid without duplication, and in no event shall any Party be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Damages.

(h) In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Damages arising out of or in connection with a change or development in Law after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, in any accounting requirement, policies or practices, or Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits or any change or development in the enforcement thereof. There shall be no obligation for Damages or for indemnification if the claim is based upon or arises out of action taken or omission by Buyer or the Company Group after the Closing Date, including actions constituting the continuation of business or operating practices or the business model of the Company Group in effect prior to the Closing.

(i) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any indemnity payment made under this Article IX or Annex I as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the limitations set forth in Section 9.3(a) through (d), inclusive, shall apply in the case of any claim that is based on or arises out of fraud.

Section 9.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If any claim or demand is made against an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter, or any Indemnified Party shall otherwise learn of an assertion or of a potential claim, by any Person who is not a Party (or an Affiliate thereof) (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail of the Third Party Claim within five (5) Business Days (including the factual basis for the Third Party Claim, and, to the extent known, the amount of the Third Party Claim); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced

as a result thereof (except that the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice); it being understood and agreed that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party prior to settling a Third Party Claim (whether by paying a claim or executing a binding settlement agreement with respect thereto) or the entry of a judgment or issuance of an award with respect to a Third Party Claim shall constitute actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such Third Party Claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in or to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim (in either case at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above following a reasonable period of time to provide such notice) or (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is a party in the applicable Action and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel (which may be internal counsel) that joint representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel in respect of such Action is inappropriate because of a conflict of interest. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim and there shall not exist any conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel, and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense subject to the limitations set out in this Section 9.4.

(c) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Damages in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party completely from all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim and provided that such settlement does not impose any material non-monetary restrictions or material obligations on the Indemnified Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any Liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Parties will cooperate in the defense thereof (with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party (other than for the fees and expenses of its counsel) in connection with such cooperation), which cooperation will include the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(e) Any claim on account of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement which does not involve a Third Party Claim will be asserted by reasonably prompt written notice (but in any event within the relevant period specified in Section 9.3(a)) given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

(f) In the event of payment in full by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any claim (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Indemnified Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

Section 9.5 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, the remedies set forth in this Article IX and Section 1 of Annex I shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than to the extent any such claims are based solely on fraud) relating, directly or indirectly, to the subject matter of this Agreement. In addition, Buyer shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement (or any related agreements) or any further indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Buyer to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Buyer shall be entitled only to a single recovery for all Damages that arise in connection with the matter giving rise to a breach of representation, warranty or covenant, even if such matter shall involve breaches of multiple representations, warranties and covenants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Article IX and Section 11.4, Buyer, Parent and Seller hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have against the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (other than to the extent any such claims are based solely on fraud), whether arising under or based upon any Federal, state, provincial, local or foreign statute, Law, Environmental Law, ordinance, rule, regulation or common law. Any reference herein with respect to “fraud” shall refer to the law of the State of Delaware, and shall not be deemed to expand or limit any party’s rights under Delaware law, which rights are not being modified or waived by this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Mitigation. Buyer, Parent and Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or Liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or Liability.

Section 9.7 Certain Environmental Limits.

(a) Parent and Seller shall have no obligation to Buyer for any Damages under Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) to the extent that such Damages result from or would not have arisen but for:

(i) Buyer undertaking any drilling and sampling of the Environment other than (1) as required by Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, or (2) as agreed in writing by Parent or Seller, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld in connection with activities undertaken in the ordinary course of business for purposes unrelated to any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; or

(ii) any change of the use or operation of any property or facility after the Closing, including any cessation, closure or close down of the operations or relevant facility on the premises or development of new buildings, installations, improvements or infrastructure on the premises, or as a change in existing buildings, installations, improvements or infrastructure to a use requiring heightened environmental protection; or

(iii) any solicitation after the Closing by Buyer or the Company Group for any Governmental Authority to undertake investigations or to require investigation or remediation, but without prejudice to the right of Buyer to comply with Environmental Laws, including with respect to Releases or threatened Releases which Buyer is required to report or disclose pursuant to Environmental Laws.

(b) Parent and Seller shall have no obligations to Buyer under Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) for Damages (i) that relate to works on a property or facility to the extent that such Damages arise out of or result from works which exceed the standards necessary to (A) bring a condition into compliance with Environmental Law or Environmental Permits or (B) satisfy the requirements of an applicable Governmental Authority, or (ii) result from, or to the extent such Damages are increased as a result of, any Environmental Law which is not binding and in effect as of the date hereof, or any Environmental Permit that is not required to be in effect as of the date hereof.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, Parent and Seller shall have the power and right, but not the obligation, to direct, manage and control, and take such actions as are reasonably necessary in connection with, any defense, Remedial Action or other resolution of any claim, event or condition involving the Environment which is subject to indemnification under Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b), and Buyer shall provide Parent and Seller with access to any property or facility reasonably necessary for Parent and Seller to exercise its rights under this Section 9.7(c); provided that Seller shall (i) keep Buyer fairly and reasonably advised throughout any such defense or Remedial Action, (ii) comply with all applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws), (iii) carry out such works at the property or facility in a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with the operations or business thereon or compromise the safety of the property or facility or any Person at the property or facility, (iv) restore the property or facility to its condition existing immediately prior to the commencement of Seller’s work, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, and (v) furnish or cause to be furnished to Buyer certificates of insurance evidencing coverage maintained by Seller’s agents, employees, independent contractors, subcontractors, suppliers or environmental consultants who are performing the work at the property or facility, which coverage shall be reasonable and customary for the type of work being performed at the property or facility.

Section 9.8 Retained Claims.

(a) Control of Retained Claims. Parent and Seller shall retain control over and continue the defense of the Retained Claims, at Parent’s and Seller’s cost and expense. The general counsel of Parent and Seller shall continue to manage and supervise the defense of the Retained Claims with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or another firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer, together with any local or other counsel referenced in the pleadings (the “Case Counsel”). Fees and expenses of the Retained Claims, including fees and expenses of the Case Counsel and other outside counsel engaged to represent the

Company, consultants and experts, shall be paid by Parent and Seller as incurred. Seller shall consult with Buyer and obtain Buyer’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) with respect to any “safe harbor” or similar provision that would benefit the Business and that Seller or the Company determines to propose or include in the Settlement in respect of future claims for the types of fees at issue in the Retained Claims.

(b) Procedures. The provisions of Section 9.4 shall govern the Retained Claims.

(c) Post-Closing Actions of Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer will not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Damages (1) associated with post-Closing periods, including Damages resulting from changes in the business model of any member of the Company Group, whether made as a result of the Retained Claims or not, or (2) associated with Buyer’s fees and expenses in its participation in the Retained Claims. During the Settlement Period and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall not engage in any conduct that interferes with, impairs, or prejudices Parent’s and Seller’s negotiation, implementation, management or administration of the Settlement.

(d) Privileges. The Company Group, Parent, Seller, and Buyer shall cooperate and take such measures as may be necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege and other privileges applicable to the prosecution or defense of Retained Claims.

(e) Actions against Parties; Notification. Buyer shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to Parent and Seller of any future legal proceedings threatened or commenced against it or the Company Group which are included in the definition of Retained Claims, but failure to so notify Parent and Seller shall not relieve Parent or Seller from any liability hereunder to the extent Parent or Seller is not actually prejudiced as a result thereof, and in any event shall not relieve Parent or Seller from any liability which it may otherwise have on account of Section 9.1(c). Any such future legal proceedings shall be handled consistently with Section 9.8(a) to Section 9.8(d) above.

(f) Reversion of Settlement Payments. Parent and Seller shall be entitled to any Settlement Amounts or any other adjudicated or settlement payments in excess of the distributed claims payments to class members, or any other amounts described in any judicial order or opinion covering the Retained Claims (“Reversion Amounts”). If any Reversion Amounts are reimbursed to Buyer or the Company Group, such reimbursed amounts shall revert to, and be the property of, Parent and Seller, and Buyer shall promptly pay such reimbursed amounts to Parent or Seller.

(g) Survival. The provisions of this Section 9.8 shall survive the Closing and will remain in force indefinitely.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

Section 10.1 Termination Events. Without prejudice to other remedies which may be available to the Parties by Law or this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent, Seller, and Buyer;

(b) by either Parent and Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other Parties if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Termination Date, as extended; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(c) by either Parent and Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, by giving written notice to the other Parties if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, decree, ruling or other Action shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and unappealable;

(d) by Buyer (provided that Buyer is not then in material breach of any representation or warranty, or material covenant contained herein), if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations or warranties, or material covenants of Parent or Seller set forth in this Agreement, which breach would constitute, either individually or in the aggregate, if occurring on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) (a “Seller Terminating Breach”); provided that if, (x) within ten (10) Business Days following receipt by Seller of written notice from Buyer specifying the nature of the Seller Terminating Breach in reasonable detail (the “Seller Breach Notice”), Seller delivers to Buyer a notice outlining the manner in which, and the time within which, such Seller Terminating Breach shall be, or is reasonably likely to be, cured such that a Seller Terminating Breach shall no longer be continuing (a “Seller Cure Plan”), and (y) within 30 days following receipt by Seller of the Seller Breach Notice, Parent or Seller commences implementation of the actions described in such Seller Cure Plan and continues to exercise its reasonable best efforts to cure such Seller Terminating Breach such that a Seller Terminating Breach shall no longer be continuing, Buyer may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d) until the Termination Date; provided further that Buyer’s right to terminate pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) shall lapse if and when such Seller Terminating Breach is cured such that the Seller Terminating Breach is no longer continuing and Parent and Seller are otherwise no longer in breach, which breach would give rise to a right of termination under this Section 10.1(d); or

(e) by Parent and Seller (provided that Parent and Seller are not then in material breach of any representation or warranty, or material covenant contained herein), if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations or warranties, or material covenants of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, which breach would constitute, either individually or in the aggregate, if occurring on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a) or 7.2(b) (a “Buyer Terminating Breach”); provided that if, (x) within ten (10) Business Days following receipt by Buyer of written notice from Seller specifying the nature of the Buyer Terminating Breach in reasonable detail (the “Buyer Breach Notice”), Buyer delivers to Seller a notice outlining the manner in which, and the time within which, such Buyer Terminating Breach shall be, or is reasonably likely to be, cured such that a Buyer Terminating Breach shall no longer be continuing (a “Buyer Cure Plan”), and (y) within 30 days following receipt by Buyer of the Buyer Breach Notice, Buyer commences implementation of the actions described in such Buyer Cure Plan and continues to exercise its reasonable best efforts to cure such Buyer Terminating Breach such that a Buyer Terminating Breach shall no longer be continuing, Parent and Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(e) until the Termination Date; provided further that Parent’s and Seller’s right to terminate pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) shall lapse if and when such Buyer Terminating Breach is cured such that the Buyer Terminating Breach is no longer continuing and Buyer is otherwise no longer in breach, which breach would give rise to a right of termination under this Section 10.1(e).

Section 10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any Liability on the part of either Party or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in respect thereof, except that (a) the obligations of Buyer, Parent and Seller under Section 6.5 (Public Announcements) and Article XI of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and (b) such termination shall not relieve any Party of any Liability for damages incurred or suffered by the other Party for any breach of an obligation or covenant or willful breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement prior to termination to the extent such breach resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties understand and agree that any termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to, and shall not affect, any and all rights to damages that any Party may have hereunder or otherwise under applicable Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 11.13(a), 11.13(b) and this Section 11.4 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of Sections 11.13(a), 11.13(b) and this Section 11.4) may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any respect to the Financing Source Parties without the prior written consent of the Financing Source Parties.

(a) All Exhibits, Annexes, Schedules and the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Any matter disclosed pursuant to any Section of or Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule (or any section of any Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule) shall be deemed to be an exception to such representations and to be disclosed with respect to all such other Sections of and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule (and all sections of all

Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule) to which the applicability of the disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross-reference thereto.

(b) Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation nor the mere inclusion of any item in a Schedule or in the Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall be deemed an admission by a Party that such item represents an exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company Group or Buyer.

Section 11.6 Headings. The table of contents and section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement or affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.7 Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules hereto), the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior understandings, negotiations, agreements, discussions or representations among the Parties of any nature, whether written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof.

Section 11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, all other provisions of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination that any provision, or the application of any such provision, is invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

Each of the Parties agrees that it will not bring or support any Action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Source Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing Commitments or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the state courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof). Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document hand delivered or sent by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 11.3 will be effective service of process for any Action, suit or proceeding in Delaware or New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences.

Section 11.14 Specific Performance.

Section 11.16 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, and ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP have acted as legal counsel to Parent, Seller, their Affiliates and the Company Group prior to the Closing, and that ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, and ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP intend to act as legal counsel to Parent, Seller and their Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company Group) after the Closing, each of Buyer and the members of the Company Group hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, or ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP representing Parent, Seller, and/or their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, any member of the Company Group or the transactions contemplated herein.

Reg. § 1.1502-6 or comparable provision of foreign, state or local Law; (iii) Taxes resulting from (A) a breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.8 (Tax Matters) (in each case construed as if they were not qualified by “knowledge,” “material,” “material adverse effect” or similar language) or (B) a breach of a covenant or other agreement of the Seller contained in this Annex I or Section 6.1(a)(ii)(N); (iv) Seller’s allocable share of all Transfer Taxes as determined under Section 8 of this Annex I; (v) Taxes resulting from any loss, reduction, disallowance, or unavailability (in whole or in part) of any refund (whether as cash or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable) that (A) was included in the computation of Net Working Capital or Net Company Debt as finally determined or (B) gave rise to a payment to, or for the benefit of Seller under Section 6 of this Annex I; (vi) Taxes resulting from the Pre-Closing Transactions; and (vii) Taxes incurred by Buyer, or any of its Affiliates with respect to any income of any member of the Company Group that is a “controlled foreign corporation” or partnership for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes which was realized in its year including the Closing Date, but is attributable to the portion of such year that ends on the Closing Date (computed assuming each member of the Company Group had a year that ended as of the end of the Closing Date); provided, however, that Parent and Seller shall not be liable for (x) any Taxes to the extent reserved for as an Included Current Liability in the computation of Net Working Capital, as finally determined (or in the case of Income Taxes, to the extent included in the computation of Net Company Debt, as finally determined); (y) any Taxes imposed on any member of the Company Group as a result of transactions occurring on the Closing Date that are outside the ordinary course of business and not contemplated by this Agreement and properly allocable (based on, among other relevant factors, factors set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)) to the portion of the Closing Date after the Closing; or (z) any interest or penalties imposed or assessed, or Tax Losses incurred, to the extent attributable to Buyer’s late filing or lack of cooperation as required by Section 3(c) of this Annex I that causes late filing by Parent or Seller of any Tax Return of a member of the Company Group due after the Closing Date (after taking into account all appropriately requested extensions made by Parent, Seller or a member of the Company Group prior to the Closing Date) or late payment of any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Return (unless such late filing or payment is attributable to a breach of a covenant by Seller or Parent or representation or warranty with respect to any member of the Company Group by the Seller or Parent).

Section 2 Tax Indemnification Procedures.

(a) After the Closing, Buyer shall promptly (and in any event within sixteen (16) calendar days) notify Seller in writing of any demand, claim or notice of the commencement of an audit received by Buyer from any Governmental Authority or any other Person with respect to Taxes for which Parent or Seller may be liable pursuant to Section 1 of this Annex I; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect Buyer’s rights to indemnification under this Annex I, except to the extent that the failure to notify Seller adversely affects Parent, Seller, or their ability to adequately defend a Contest (as defined in Section 3 of this Annex I) in respect of such Taxes.

(b) Payment by an indemnitor of any amount due to an indemnitee under this Annex I shall be made within twenty (20) days following written notice by the indemnitee that payment of such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or other applicable third party is due by the indemnitee, provided that the indemnitor shall not be required to make any payment earlier than five (5) Business Days before it is due to the appropriate Governmental Authority (whether in connection with a Tax Return or the imposition or assessment by the Governmental Authority) or applicable third party (for this purpose, Taxes shall be due to a Governmental Authority if the Taxes are being contested but as part of contesting such Tax, it is required, or it is decided by Seller as part of controlling a relevant Contest (or if agreed to by Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), if the Contest is being controlled by Buyer) to pay (in whole or in part) the subject Taxes prior to, or during, the course of such Contest). In the case of a Tax that is contested in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Annex and for which payment is stayed until a date no earlier than the date of a “final determination,” payment of such contested Tax will not be considered due earlier than the date a “final determination” to such effect is made by such Tax authority or a court. For this purpose, a “final determination” shall include a settlement, compromise, or other agreement with the relevant Tax authority, whether contained in an Internal Revenue Service Form 870 or other comparable form or otherwise, or other document or agreement, such as a closing agreement with the relevant Tax authority, an agreement contained in Internal Revenue Service Form 870-AD or other comparable form, an agreement or other document that constitutes a “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code, a deficiency notice with respect to which the period for filing a petition with the Tax authority or a court or the relevant state, local or foreign tribunal has expired or a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal or as to which the time for appeal has expired.

Section 3 Tax Audits and Contests; Cooperation.

(a) Parent and Seller shall have the right to settle and control the conduct, through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense, of any audit or administrative, judicial or other proceeding involving any asserted Tax liability or refund with respect to any member of the Company Group (any such audit or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability referred to herein as a “Contest”) relating to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, to the extent the Contest does not relate to an Affiliated Group Tax Return, Buyer shall have the right to participate, at their own expense, in such Contest (and Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the progress of such Contest and shall consult with Buyer before taking any significant action in connection therewith). Parent and Seller shall not settle or compromise any such Contest in a manner which adversely affects the Tax liability of Buyer or the Company Group (to the extent Buyer or the Company Group may be required to make any payment for such Tax liability that is not fully indemnified by Parent and Seller) without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Parent and Seller may decline to control any such Contest by providing Buyer with a written notice of such decision, provided that such decision shall not impact Parent’s or Seller’s obligation for any Tax Losses with respect to such Contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Contest relates to an Affiliated Group Tax Return, Parent and Seller shall have the sole right to control and settle such Contest, provided, Parent and Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed to the extent such Contest relates to Taxes or Tax matters of any member of the Company Group.

(b) In the case of a Contest that relates to a Straddle Period (as defined in Section 5 of this Annex I), Buyer shall control the conduct of such Contest, but Parent and Seller shall have the right to participate in such Contest at Parent’s and Seller’s own expense. With respect to a Contest that relates to a Straddle Period controlled by Buyer, neither Buyer nor the Company shall settle or compromise any such Contest to the extent it would result in a Tax that Parent or Seller is obligated to pay or indemnify for under this Annex I without the prior written consent of Parent and Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Buyer, the Company, Parent and Seller shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Affiliated Group or any member of the Company Group; (ii) reasonably assist in any audit or other legal proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Affiliated Group or any member of the Company Group (whether or not a Contest); (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Affiliated Group or of any member of the Company Group; (iv) provide any information necessary or reasonably requested to allow Buyer or any member of the Company Group to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws; and (v) reasonably make available, upon request and during mutually convenient normal business hours, personnel with knowledge relevant to any Tax matter or contest involving the Affiliated Group or any member of the Company Group.

(d) Each of the Parties shall (a) use its reasonable best efforts to properly retain and maintain the tax and accounting records of and relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries that relate to Pre-Closing Taxes until the later of (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations for the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions, and (ii) six (6) years following the due date (including allowed extensions) for such Tax Returns and shall thereafter provide each other with written notice prior to any destruction, abandonment or disposition of all or any portions of such records, (b) transfer such records to Seller upon its written request prior to any such destruction,

A-3

abandonment or disposition; and (c) allow the other Party and its Affiliates and their respective agents and representatives, at times and dates reasonably and mutually acceptable to the parties, to from time to time inspect and review such records as reasonably necessary for the filing of Tax Returns or the conduct of a Contest. Any information obtained under this Section 3(d) of this Annex I shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Contest.

(e) This Section 3 of this Annex I (and not Section 9.4) shall govern with respect to any Tax matters.

Section 4 Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a) Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare and timely file (or have prepared and cause to be timely filed) all Tax Returns of any member of the Company Group due under applicable Law prior to the Closing Date and all Income Tax Returns (other than Straddle Period returns) of any member of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period that are required to be filed by applicable Law after the Closing Date. All Taxes indicated as due and payable on such Tax Returns shall be paid or will be paid by Seller as and when required by Law. Seller shall make available to Buyer for its review such Tax Returns, other than Affiliated Group Tax Returns, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of such Tax Returns. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with existing procedures, practices, and accounting methods of the members of the Company Group.

(b) Except as provided in Section 4(a) of this Annex I, Buyer shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed with respect to any member of the Company Group that are due after the Closing Date (including all Tax Returns for Straddle Periods) and shall, subject to Buyer’s and the Tax Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for Tax Losses, remit any Taxes shown as due in respect of such Tax Returns. To the extent relating to a Pre-Closing Taxable Period, such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures, practices, and accounting methods of the members of the Company, unless otherwise required by Law. Buyer shall deliver any Income Tax Return for a Straddle Period or any other Tax Return that is required under this Section 4(b) of this Annex I that shows a Tax that the Seller or Parent is required to pay or indemnify under this Annex I for Seller’s review as soon as reasonably practical but in any case at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such return is required to be filed and Buyer shall incorporate any reasonable comments of Seller to such Tax Returns prior to filing.

(c) Unless required by Law or a determination of a Governmental Authority that is final, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit any member of the Company Group), without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, take any action (including, without limitation, making or changing any Tax election of or with respect to any member of the Company Group that is attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, amending, re-filing or otherwise modifying (or granting an extension of any applicable statute of limitations with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period) any Tax Return of any member of the Company Group that relates or is attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period) that could result in any increased Tax liability of any member of the Company Group (or Seller or any of its Affiliates) or a reduction in any Tax asset in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.

(d) Unless otherwise required by Law, Parent and Seller agree that none of the Employee Stay Bonuses payments have accrued for Income Tax purposes as of the Closing Date, and neither Parent nor Seller shall (and neither Parent nor Seller shall allow any member of the Affiliated Group to) claim any deductions for Income Tax purposes with respect to the Employee Stay Bonuses.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of any member of the Company Group that are payable with respect to any taxable period that begins before or on and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Closing Taxes shall (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, purchase, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, purchase, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible) including withholding Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes other than those described in clause (i) above, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; provided that Buyer shall pay the amount of Taxes of any member of the Company Group that are incurred solely as a result of any transactions relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries undertaken subsequent to the Closing Date that are not in the ordinary course of business and are not contemplated by this Agreement and which are properly allocable (based on, among other relevant factors, factors set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B)) to the portion of the Closing Date after the Closing. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including, without limitation, the effect of any graduated rates of tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. The parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat a portion of any Straddle Period as a short taxable period ending as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

Section 6 Refunds.

(a) Subject to Section 6(c) of this Annex I, all refunds of Taxes of any member of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Taxable Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined in accordance with the same principles provided for in Section 5 of this Annex I) (whether in the form of cash received from the applicable Governmental Authority or a direct credit against Taxes otherwise payable for any taxable period beginning on the day immediately after the Closing Date (or portion of a Straddle Period beginning on the day immediately after the Closing Date) shall be for the benefit of Seller. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller to claim any refunds that may give rise to payment to Seller under this Section 6 of Annex I, including, to the extent requested by Seller, by filing claims for such refunds. For purposes of this Section 6(a) of this Annex I, to the extent the reserve for Tax liabilities that was included in the computation of Net Working Capital or Net Company Debt as finally determined is in excess of the Taxes actually payable by a member of the Company Group following the Closing for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined under Section 5 of this Annex I), such excess shall be treated as a refund received on the date the Tax Return of the Company Group is filed showing the reduced Taxes; provided, however, that to the extent such excess is paid to Seller in accordance with this Section 6 of this Annex I, the amount of the Taxes included in the computation of the Net Working Capital or Net Company Debt, as finally determined, for purposes of Section 1 of this Annex I shall be reduced by the amount of such payment.

(b) To the extent Buyer or any member of the Company Group receives a refund that is for the benefit of Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such refund (without interest other than

A-5

interest received from the Governmental Authority), net of any Taxes (including withholding Taxes and Income Taxes that would be imposed on the immediate repatriation of cash equal to the amount of any refund received by a member of the Company Group not organized under the Laws of the United States to the United States) and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that Buyer or any member of the Company Group or any of its Affiliates incur with respect to such refund (and related interest). The net amount due to Seller shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of direct credit, ten (10) days after filing the Tax Return claiming such credit).

(c) Nothing in this Section 6 of this Annex I shall require Buyer to make any payment with respect to any refund for a Tax (and such refunds shall be for the benefit of Buyer, Company, and its Subsidiaries) that is with respect to (i) any refund of Tax that is the result of the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or Tax credit incurred in a taxable period beginning on the day immediately after the Closing Date (or portion of any Straddle Period beginning on the day immediately after the Closing Date); (ii) any refund of Tax attributable to taxable years or periods beginning after the Closing Date to the extent Seller has not indemnified Buyer, Company, or the applicable Subsidiary for such Taxes; (iii) any refund for Tax that is reflected as an Included Current Asset on the Net Working Capital, as finally determined, or included in the computation of Net Company Debt, as finally determined; (iv) any refund for Tax that gives rise to a payment obligation by any member of the Company Group to any Person under applicable Law or pursuant to a provision of a contract or other agreement entered (or assumed) by any member of the Company Group on or prior to the Closing Date; or (v) any refund of Buyer’s allocable share of any Transfer Taxes as determined under Section 8 of this Annex I.

(d) All refunds of Taxes of any member of the Company Group to the extent they do not give rise to a payment to Seller under this Section 6 of Annex I and all refunds for Taxes that Buyer has indemnified for under Section 1(b) of Annex I shall be for the sole benefit of Buyer. To the extent Seller or Parent receives a refund of any Tax that is for the benefit of Buyer, Parent and Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such refund (without interest other than interest received from a Governmental Authority), net of any Taxes or any reasonable out of pocket expenses that Seller or Parent incur with respect to such refund (or interest). The net amount due to Buyer shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the refund from the applicable Governmental Authority (or, if the refund is in the form of direct credit, ten (10) days after filing the Tax Return claiming such credit).

Section 7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties shall treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for purposes of all Taxes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

Section 8 Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes (and refunds thereof) shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate in timely filing all Tax Returns as may be required in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes and shall, as appropriate, execute and deliver all instruments and certificates reasonably necessary to enable the other parties to comply with any filing requirements and Laws relating to any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 9 Termination of Tax Allocation Agreements. Any and all Tax allocation, Tax sharing, Tax indemnity or other agreements or arrangements relating to Tax matters, between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent, Seller, or any of their Affiliates or any other Person, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to any member of the Company Group prior to the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, no member of the Company Group shall be obligated

A-6

to make any payment pursuant to, or otherwise bound by, any such agreement or arrangement. Nothing in this Section 9 of Annex I or in the Agreement shall prohibit any member of the Company Group from making any payments prior to the Closing Date pursuant to any Tax sharing, Tax indemnity or other agreements or arrangements relating to Tax matters to the extent such payments reduce the cash and cash equivalents for purposes of computing Net Company Debt, or suspend the effectiveness thereof.

Section 10 Carrybacks. Following the Closing Date, Buyer and the Company shall, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, waive the right to, and shall not, carry back any Income Tax losses, credits or similar items attributable to a member of the Company Group from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date to a taxable year that ends on the Closing Date, except with the prior written consent of Seller.

Section 11 Survival; Limitations.

(a) The obligation to pay or indemnity for Taxes in Section 1 of this Annex I, including Parent’s or Seller’s obligation to pay or indemnify for a Tax as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty in Section 3.8 (Tax Matters), shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until forty-five (45) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations on assessment of the relevant Tax; provided, however, (i) to the extent the Tax is with respect to a contract, such indemnity obligation shall survive for a period that is not less than forty-five (45) days after the obligation to pay or indemnify for such Tax expires pursuant to the terms of the relevant contract and (ii) to the extent the Tax is with respect to an Affiliated Group, the obligation shall survive for a period that is not less than forty-five (45) days after the statute of limitations for collection of such Tax from any Acquired Company expires. All other obligations under this Annex I shall survive until fully performed.

(b) None of the limitations in Article IX (except as set forth in Section 9.3(f)) shall apply to any claims for Tax Losses under this Annex I.

Section 12 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Annex I, none of Buyer, Parent nor Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to make available to the other party any federal or state consolidated, combined or unitary income Tax Return that includes entities other than the Company and its Subsidiaries. If any of Buyer, Parent or Seller is required to provide any information contained in a Tax Return described in the immediately preceding sentence, the relevant information shall be provided in such format (including pro formas) as may be deemed appropriate by the party required to provide such information acting in good faith.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Shareholder Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In Thousands)
December 31, 2011
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Veolia Environmental Services North America Corp. (VESNA), which is an indirect subsidiary of Veolia Environnement (VE). VE is publicly traded on the Paris stock exchange, with American Depository Receipts also traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company is an integrated solid waste services company providing a range of collection, transfer, transportation, disposal, and recycling services to generators of solid waste and special waste. The Company provides these services in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned and operated 26 landfills, two closed landfills, 67 solid waste collection operations, 14 recycling facilities, and 41 solid waste transfer stations. The Company also manages two other third-party-owned landfills, one recycling facility, and six transfer stations.
The Company markets its services principally through its facility managers and direct-sales representatives. The Company also obtains new customers from referral sources, reputation, and local media marketing. The Company has a diverse customer base, with no single customer accounting for more than 3% of the Company’s revenues during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company does not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue principally by providing collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal services to generators of solid and special waste. Revenues are recorded as services are performed. Certain customers are billed in advance and, accordingly, recognition of the related revenues is deferred until the services are provided. Revenues are recorded net of applicable landfill and sales taxes.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company grants credit to the majority of its customers. It is not the policy of the Company to require collateral from its customers in order to provide credit. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and credit conditions, as well as the Company’s history of write-offs and collections. The Company’s policy is, generally, to not charge interest on trade receivables after the invoice becomes past due. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received by the due date listed on the invoice terms. Write-offs are recorded against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all reasonable efforts for collection have been exhausted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Vehicles and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Containers and carts are depreciated over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. Buildings are depreciated over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease.
Landfill costs include the purchase price of the landfill, landfill construction, engineering, and permit costs and certain other professional fees. These costs are amortized using the units-of-production method. Under this method, an amortization cost per ton is calculated for various types of solid waste for each of the Company’s landfills. The cost per ton is based on landfill-specific compaction factors, the determination of airspace utilization, and estimated remaining permitted airspace. The determination of airspace utilization and remaining permitted airspace is performed annually by conducting annual topographic surveys, using aerial and field survey techniques of the Company’s landfill facilities to determine the remaining airspace in each landfill. The surveys are reviewed by the Company’s consulting engineers, the Company’s internal engineering staff, and its accounting staff. Amortization is recorded by multiplying the respective cost per ton by the tonnage deposited into the landfill.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Landfill costs incurred for future development are not amortized until the permit is obtained and operations have commenced. Until such time, these costs are included with land and land improvements. If the Company determines that the landfill cannot be developed, these costs are charged to expense.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test. Amortizable intangible assets primarily consist of customer lists, which are amortized over 8 to 10 years.
The Company is required to perform goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The Company performs its annual test for impairment in its fourth fiscal quarter, and in 2011 and 2010 concluded that an impairment charge was not required. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.
Restricted Funds Held in Trust
Restricted funds held in trust at December 31, 2011 and 2010, consisted of amounts on deposit with various regulatory bodies in accordance with state and local requirements. These funds, together with letters of credit, performance bonds (see Financial Assurance Bonds and Corporate Guarantees section in Note 2), and corporate guarantees support the Company’s financial assurance obligations for its facilities’ closure and post-closure costs.
Disposal Site Closure and Long-Term Care
The Company has material financial obligations relating to closure and post-closure costs (long-term care) for which it is or may become responsible. Estimates for final closure and post-closure costs are developed using input from the Company’s engineers and accountants and are reviewed by management, typically at least once per year. These estimates involve projections of costs that will be incurred after the landfill ceases operations and during the legally required post-closure monitoring period. Once the final costs have been estimated, the Company inflates those costs to the expected time of payment and discounts the expected future costs back to present value.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
An inflation rate of 2.50% and a discount rate, using a credit-adjusted, risk-free discount rate of 5.94%, was used to determine the present value of the initial future closure and post-closure costs. The discount rate, established upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, is based on the risk-free interest rate on obligations of similar maturity, adjusted for VE’s credit rating. Interest accretion on closure and post-closure liabilities is recorded using the effective-interest method and is included in the cost of operations on the consolidated statements of income and retained earnings.
The Company accrues prospectively for a landfill’s estimated total final closure and post-closure costs on a units-of-consumption basis by applying a rate per ton over the permitted capacity of the landfill. The debit corresponding to the increase in the accrual is recorded as an increase to landfill assets. These assets are then fully depreciated in the same period through depreciation expense. Closure and post-closure costs are fully accrued for each landfill once the site discontinues accepting waste. In addition, the Company accrues for landfill retirement costs arising from final capping obligations as discrete events, rather than as a part of closure costs. These capping obligations are also accrued prospectively on a units-of-consumption basis.
The Company does not believe that it is practical to develop a methodology to reliably estimate a market-risk premium, and has therefore, excluded any such market-risk premium from the determination of expected cash flows for landfill asset retirement obligations.
The changes to disposal site closure and long-term care obligation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, are as follows:
January 1, 2010 $ 171,119
Liabilities incurred 11,153
Liabilities settled (6,905)
Accretion expense 10,196
Acquisition of landfill (Note 3) 7,198
Divestiture of landfills (Note 3) (6,624)
December 31, 2010 186,137
Liabilities incurred 10,823
Liabilities settled (15,290)
Accretion expense 9,912

Financial Assurance Bonds and Corporate Guarantees
For certain obligations, the Company elects to satisfy its financial assurance obligations through the use of bonds. The Company pays annual premiums to obtain performance bonds underwritten by insurance carriers. These premiums are amortized over the life of the bond when material. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $216,835 and $159,165, respectively, of coverage under performance bonds for closure and post-closure activities, and coverage of $74,684 and $69,825, respectively, for other activities.
The Company satisfies certain financial assurance obligations to state regulatory agencies for landfill closure and post-closure through corporate guarantees. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company provided corporate guarantees totaling $55,842 and $59,600, respectively.
There are no probable and reasonably estimable losses under these corporate guarantees at either December 31, 2011 or 2010. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company has a 50% equity interest in Urban Sanitation Company Limited, a Bahamian company. The 50% interest provides the Company significant influence, but is not a controlling interest; therefore, the Company accounts for its investment using the equity method.
Income Taxes
The operations of the Company and certain affiliates are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Veolia Environnement North America Operations, Inc. (VENAO), a subsidiary of VE. Taxes payable to or receivable from VENAO are included with other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6) and are calculated as if the Company were a stand-alone taxpayer (see Note 8). Actual federal taxes paid are determined at the VENAO consolidated level.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company recognizes a tax benefit for positions taken on a tax return when such positions are considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on their technical merits. Although the Company believes that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are appropriate, it nevertheless has established tax, penalties, and interest reserves through the income tax provision for certain tax positions that do not meet the recognition threshold based on an evaluation of all available evidence. The tax reserves are reviewed as circumstances warrant, and are adjusted as events occur that affect the Company’s estimated liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, issuance of administrative guidance, or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information are as follows:
Year Ended December 31
2011 2010
Interest paid, including payments to affiliates $ 6,840 $ 7,126
Income taxes paid, including payments to affiliates 43,917 47,086
Income tax refunds received 114 214
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted funds held in trust, accounts payable, debt instruments with related parties, and amounts due from and due to affiliates. None of the Company’s debt instruments outstanding at December 31, 2011, have readily ascertainable market values due to the related-party status. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of these amounts. See Note 7 for the terms and carrying values of the Company’s various debt instruments. The carrying values of the other financial instruments are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset, or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Although management believes that the Company’s estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates.
Subsequent Events
In connection with the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through March 19, 2012, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events required to be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2011-09, Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80) Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan, which expands the disclosure requirements regarding the financial health of the plans to address concerns from various users of financial statements on the lack of transparency about an employer’s participation in a multi-employer pension plan. Previously, disclosures were limited primarily to the historical contributions made to the plans. The new guidance will help users of financial statements assess the potential future cash flow implications relating to the Company’s participation in multi-employer pension plans.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The disclosures also will indicate the financial health of all of the significant plans in which the Company participates, and assist a financial statement user to access additional information that is available outside of the financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected early adoption of this ASU. The expanded disclosures are included in Note 9.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and, in some cases, the two-step impairment test would not be required. The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected early adoption of this ASU. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the requirements related to fair value measurement, which changes the wording used to describe many requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Additionally, the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is applied prospectively. Adoption of this guidance at the beginning of 2012 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to ASC No. 220, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The items of net income and other comprehensive income can either be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements. Under either method, the statement would need to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. The amended guidance, which must be applied retrospectively, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB deferred the effective date pertaining to reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Adoption of this guidance at the beginning of 2012 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the requirements related to balance sheet offsetting. These amendments require the Company to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect or potential effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with required disclosures made retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
During 2011, the Company paid approximately $14.1 million in cash to acquire certain businesses, including two solid waste collection operations with certain equipment, customers, and routes that the Company can integrate with its existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was primarily to property and equipment of $6.2 million; other intangible assets of $4.5 million; and goodwill of $4.9 million. Goodwill represents the premium paid to acquire solid waste collection and disposal operations, and an employee workforce with potential synergies involved in integrating the purchased solid waste collection operations into the Company’s existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The resulting goodwill from these acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes.
During 2010, the Company paid approximately $42.0 million in cash to acquire certain businesses, including one landfill and two solid waste collection operations with certain equipment, customers, and routes that the Company can integrate with its existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The allocation of the purchase price was primarily to property and equipment of $24.4 million; other intangible assets of $6.8 million; goodwill of $16.4 million; and landfill closure liability of $(7.2) million. Goodwill represents the premium paid to acquire solid waste collection and disposal operations, and an employee workforce with potential synergies involved in integrating the purchased solid waste collection operations into the Company’s existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The resulting goodwill from these acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes.

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures (continued)
As an integral part of certain acquisitions, the former shareholders signed contracts not to compete, and in certain situations key management members entered into employment agreements to continue in the management of these businesses. Costs associated with these arrangements are charged to operations over their respective lives.
On October 2, 2010, the Company disposed of two landfills and four hauling operations located in Missouri and Illinois for proceeds of $34.4 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company derecognized net assets with a carrying value of $13.2 million (primarily property, equipment, and landfill closure liability) and goodwill of $21.2 million was allocated to the disposal. No gain or loss was recognized related to this transaction. The buyer in this transaction was a third party and also the seller of a business, including one landfill and certain solid waste hauling operations acquired by the Company during 2010. Both transactions closed at the same time.
During 2010, the Company recorded certain adjustments to purchase accounting for previous acquisition transactions, resulting in an increase of approximately $2.1 million to goodwill, an increase of approximately $1.4 million to deferred tax assets, and an increase of approximately $3.5 million to other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Amounts due to Veolia Proprete S.A., an affiliate of VESNA, are included in other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets and represent unpaid brand royalty fees at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Amounts due to VESNA represent promissory notes payable, as discussed below, and net cash sweeps relating to a cash-pooling arrangement offset by various expenses, including insurance coverage, interest expense and management fees paid by VESNA on behalf of the Company. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the net cash sweep amount due from VESNA was $117,947 and $82,809, respectively, and has been reflected as a reduction in the amounts due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The balance due from VESNA under the cash-pooling arrangement bears interest at a rate of 2.68% and 4.92% in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest income on the principal balance due from VESNA under the cash-pooling arrangement is payable monthly and was $3,601 and $3,783 during 2011 and 2010, respectively.
On October 30, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a dividend payment of $180,000 to VESNA. The dividend payment was funded through borrowings from a 10-year promissory note with VESNA in the same amount. The note bears interest at a rate that is reset quarterly equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.90% (1.28% and 1.19% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively). Interest accrued on the principal balance is payable quarterly. The principal balance plus any unpaid interest is payable in full on October 30, 2016. Interest expense related to the note payable to VESNA was $2,172 and $2,238 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Debt Payable to VESNA
The Company is party to two debt agreements with VESNA. The first of the agreements (VESNA Medium-Term Loan) allows for a maximum principal balance of $211,000 and matures on August 26, 2014. The VESNA Medium-Term Loan bears interest at a rate that is reset semi-annually equal to LIBOR plus 0.60% (1.01% and 1.33% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively). The second debt agreement (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-Term Loan) allows for a maximum principal balance of $110,958 and matures on August 26, 2024. The ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-Term Loan bears interest at a rate that is reset semi-annually equal to LIBOR plus 1.60% (2.01% and 2.33% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively). At December 31, 2011 and 2010, outstanding borrowings under the VESNA Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements were $211,000 and $110,958, respectively, at each year end. Interest expense related to the VESNA Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements totaled $2,216 and $2,277 for 2011, respectively, and $2,396 and $2,363 for 2010, respectively.
Interest and fees to affiliates were as follows:
Year Ended December 31

Insurance
The Company, through arrangements with VESNA, has insurance coverage for workers’ compensation and motor vehicle liabilities in excess of certain occurrence deductibles. Provisions are recorded each period for incidents and claims below the occurrence deductible and represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate settlement of developed claims, including claims incurred but not reported. Such provisions representing the obligations of the Company are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. VESNA purchases insurance coverage on behalf of the Company.
The Company also has arrangements through VESNA for insurance coverage for employee medical benefits in excess of certain occurrence deductibles. Provisions are recorded each period for incidents and claims below the occurrence deductible and represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate settlement of developed claims, including claims incurred but not reported. The provisions representing the obligations of the Company are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of VESNA.
Veolia Environment Letter-of-Credit Facility
The Company participates in a $1.25 billion letter-of-credit facility with VE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (VE LOC Facility). At December 31, 2011, the Company had open letters of credit totaling approximately $8,351 under the VE LOC Facility. Total expenses related to the VE LOC Facility were $739 and $878 during 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In addition, VESNA maintains open letters of credit as collateral to secure its obligations under its various insurance policies. The portion of these letters of credit related to the Company’s obligations is approximately $47,475 at December 31, 2011.

The deferred income tax balances consist of the following:
December 31
2011 2010
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property and equipment $ 83,792 $ 84,430
Intangible assets and tax - deductible goodwill 84,724 76,850
Other 2,534 1,820
Total deferred tax liabilities 171,050 163,100
Deferred tax assets:

Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (1,730) (2,372)
Total deferred tax assets 86,742 85,530
Net deferred tax liabilities $ 84,308 $ 77,570
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $24,146 and $23,119, respectively, for state income tax purposes that began to expire in 2009. A valuation allowance of $791 and $1,433 has been recorded as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to all of the state net operating loss carryforwards that management believes will not be available to offset the future taxable income of the Company.
The Company also has state tax credit carryovers of approximately $1,446. The deferred tax asset, net of federal taxes, recorded by the Company for these state tax credits was $939 at December 31, 2011 and 2010. This deferred tax asset is also offset by a valuation allowance. It is management’s opinion that the realization of the deferred tax assets relating to these state tax credits is not “more likely than not,” despite the fact that the state tax credits do not have any expiration date.

9. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined-Contribution Plans
The Company participates in a defined-contribution 401(k) savings plan maintained by VESNA that covers substantially all non-union employees meeting certain minimum eligibility requirements. The Company also has a separate defined-contribution 401(k) savings plan covering certain collectively bargained employees. Participating employees can elect to defer a portion of their compensation and contribute to the plan on a pretax basis.
The Company also matches certain amounts, as defined in the plan documents. Contributions made by the Company under the various plans were $1,950 and $1,933 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are based on its required contributions to such plans.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans
The Company also participates in various trustee-managed “multi-employer” pension plans under collective-bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees. These plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The risks of participating in these multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:
a. Assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
b. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
c. If Entity A chooses to stop participating in some of its multi-employer plans, Entity A may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.

9. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
The Company’s participation in these plans for the annual period ended December 31, 2011, is outlined in the table below. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employee Identification Number (EIN) and the three-digit plan number, if applicable. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available in 2011 and 2010 was obtained from the plan’s most recent Annual Funding Notice. Among other factors, plans in the critical (red) zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the endangered (yellow) zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the not endangered or critical (green) zone are at least 80 percent funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date(s) of the collective-bargaining agreement(s) to which the plans are subject. There have been no significant changes that affect the comparability of 2011 and 2010 contributions.

9. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
(A)
-
The employers contributions to the plan represent greater than 5% of the total contributions to the plan for the most recent plan year available.
(B)
-
A multi-employer defined benefit pension plan that has been certified as endangered, seriously endangered, or critical may begin to levy a statutory surcharge on contribution rates. Once authorized, the surcharge is at the rate of 5% for the first 12 months and 10% for any periods thereafter. Contributing employers, however, may eliminate the surcharge by entering into a collective bargaining agreement that meets the requirements of the applicable FIP or RP.
The Company’s pension expense for multi-employer plans was $3,210 and $3,081 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is based on its required contributions to such plans.
Post-Retirement Health Insurance
The Company and VESNA are obligated to provide health insurance benefits to four former employees and their families under the terms of employment contracts originally entered into between the employees and the Company. Two of the employees were subsequently employed by VESNA, and the liability was assumed by VESNA as part of their amended employment contracts. However, the liability established under these arrangements remains on the books of the Company. The present value of the expected future obligation of $3,653 and $3,497 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is included in other liabilities. At December 31, 2011, the portion of the liability attributable to the VESNA employees was $1,976, and the portion attributable to the Company’s employees was $1,677.

10. Commitments and Contingencies Leases
The Company rents certain facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2020. Future minimum lease payments under these leases as of December 31, 2011, are as follows:
Years ending December 31:
2012 $9,336

The future minimum lease payments reflected above include amounts related to the space occupied by VESNA, as follows:
Years ending December 31:
2012 $329
2013 334
2014 340
2015 346

Thereafter 1,409
Rent expense for the facilities and equipment under operating leases was $9,827 and $7,678 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Environmental
The Company engages independent environmental consulting firms as necessary to assist the Company in conducting environmental assessments of existing landfills or other properties in connection with companies acquired from third parties.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
The ultimate amounts for environmental liabilities cannot be precisely determined, and estimates of such liabilities made by the Company, after consultation with the Company’s independent environmental engineers and legal counsel, require assumptions about future events due to a number of uncertainties, including the extent of any contamination, the appropriate remedy, the financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and the final apportionment of responsibility among the potentially responsible parties. Where management has concluded that the Company’s estimated share of potential liabilities is probable, an undiscounted provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters and continually monitors its operations with respect to potential environmental issues, including changes in environmental regulations and remediation technologies. The Company accrues for anticipated environmental monitoring and remediation costs for its landfills in the long-term care accrual (see Note 2).
The Company or its subsidiaries have been notified that they are potentially responsible parties at certain sites listed on the National Priorities List published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When the Company concludes that it is probable that a material liability has been incurred with respect to a site, a provision will be made in the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflecting the Company’s best estimate of the liability based on management’s judgment and experience, information available from regulatory agencies, and the number, financial resources, and relative degree of responsibility of other potentially responsible parties who are jointly and severally liable for remediation of the site, as well as the typical allocation of costs among such parties. The Company believes that ultimate resolution of these environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
As is the case with all sites, the performance of the elected remedies will be subject to periodic review by regulatory agencies. In the event that the selected remedies do not perform adequately to meet applicable state and federal standards, additional remedial measures beyond those currently anticipated could be required by regulatory agencies. Implementation of any such additional remedial measures may involve substantial additional costs beyond those currently anticipated.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued) Legal
The Company is subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and has implemented its own environmental safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of conducting its operations, the Company may become involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings. Some of these actions may result in fines, penalties, or judgments against the Company, which may have an impact on earnings for a particular period. The Company accrues for litigation and regulatory compliance contingencies when such costs are probable and can reasonably be estimated. The Company expects that matters in process at December 31, 2011, which have not been accrued in the consolidated financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
In February 2009, the Company and certain subsidiaries were named as defendants in a purported class action suit in Circuit Court, which was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. The plaintiffs allege that the Company charged improper fees (fuel surcharge, administrative fees, environmental fees) that were in breach of the plaintiffs’ contracts. The plaintiffs subsequently filed amended complaints in which they alleged violations of the federal RICO statute, breach of contract, unjust enrichment/constructive trust, spoliation of evidence and injunctive relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss which was partially granted during the fourth quarter of 2010, resulting in dismissal of the plaintiffs’ RICO claim. The RICO complaint was re-filed later in the fourth quarter of 2010 and named specific corporate officers. Following briefing and oral arguments, the Court granted the company’s motion to dismiss the RICO claim and further dismissed all individual defendants. All issues regarding the class certification and summary judgment have been fully briefed and are awaiting a ruling. The parties have mediated the case on two occasions without success. The Company believes it possesses meritorious defenses to both plaintiffs’ class and substantive allegations. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of the case cannot be predicted at this time, nor can possible damages, if any, be reasonably estimated. Should the plaintiffs prevail on their substantive claims, any damages awarded could be significant.

Similar class action complaints have also been brought against the Company and certain subsidiaries in the States of Georgia, Alabama, and Illinois. The matter filed in the State of Illinois pertains to a class of individuals and entities in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Each of these matters is in various stages of the discovery process. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of these cases cannot be predicted at this time, nor can possible damages, if any, be reasonably estimated. Should the plaintiffs prevail on their substantive claims, any damages awarded could be significant.
The Company’s charter and bylaws require indemnification of its officers and directors if statutory standards of conduct have been met and allow the advancement of expenses to these individuals upon receipt of an undertaking by the individuals to repay all expenses if it is ultimately determined that they did not meet the required standards of conduct. The Company may incur substantial expenses in connection with the fulfillment of its advancement of costs and indemnification obligations in connection with current actions involving former or current officers of the Company or other actions or proceedings that may be brought against its former or current officers and employees.
In the normal course of its business, and as a result of the extensive government regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company periodically may become subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings and investigations involving federal, state, or local agencies. The Company is involved in various environmental matters and governmental proceedings, including original or renewal permit filings in connection with the establishment, operations, expansion, and closure and post-closure activities of certain landfills and other facilities. There can be no assurance that such permits will be granted or that other related proceedings will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company. From time to time, the Company also may be subjected to actions brought by citizens’ groups in connection with the permitting of landfills and other facilities or alleging violations of the permits pursuant to which the Company operates. The Company is also subject from time to time to general commercial claims and litigation and personal injury or property damage claims and litigation arising out of accidents involving its vehicles. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued) Royalties
The Company has various arrangements that require it to pay royalties to former landowners, lessors, or the host communities in which certain operations are located. These obligations are generally based on waste tonnage disposed at specified landfills or transfer stations. These royalties are payable monthly or quarterly and amounts incurred, but not paid, are accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Insurance
The Company, through arrangements with VESNA, carries a commercial general liability policy and a property damage policy. The Company maintains an environmental impairment liability policy on its landfills and transfer stations that provides coverage, on a “claims-made” basis, against certain third-party, off-site environmental damage. There can be no assurance that the environmental impairment policy will remain in place or provide sufficient coverage for existing, but not yet known, third-party, off-site environmental liabilities.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Shareholder Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

December 31, 2010
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Veolia Environmental Services North America Corp. (VESNA), which is an indirect subsidiary of Veolia Environment (VE). VE is publicly traded on the Paris stock exchange, with American Depository Receipts also traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company is an integrated solid waste services company providing a range of collection, transfer, transportation, disposal, and recycling services to generators of solid waste and special waste. The Company provides these services in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As of December 31, 2010, the Company owned and operated 27 landfills, one closed landfill, 67 solid waste collection operations, 13 recycling facilities, and 36 solid waste transfer stations. The Company also manages two other third-party-owned landfills, two recycling facilities, and six transfer stations.
The Company markets its services principally through its facility managers and direct-sales representatives. The Company also obtains new customers from referral sources, reputation, and local media marketing. The Company has a diverse customer base, with no single customer accounting for more than 3% of the Company’s revenues during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company does not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue principally by providing collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal services to generators of solid and special waste. Revenues are recorded as services are performed. Certain customers are billed in advance and, accordingly, recognition of the related revenues is deferred until the services are provided. Revenues are recorded net of applicable sales taxes.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Landfill costs incurred for future development are not amortized until the permit is obtained and operations have commenced. Until such time, these costs are included with land and land improvements. If the Company determines that the landfill cannot be developed, these costs are charged to expense.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test. Amortizable intangible assets primarily consist of customer lists, which are amortized over 8 to 10 years.
The Company is required to perform goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The Company performs its annual test for impairment in its fourth fiscal quarter and, in 2010 and 2009, concluded that an impairment charge was not required. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.
Restricted Funds Held in Trust
Restricted funds held in trust at December 31, 2010 and 2009, consisted of amounts on deposit with various regulatory bodies in accordance with state and local requirements. These funds, together with letters of credit, performance bonds (see Financial Assurance Bonds and Corporate Guarantees section in Note 2), and corporate guarantees, support the Company’s financial assurance obligations for its facilities’ closure and post-closure costs.
Disposal Site Closure and Long-Term Care
The Company has material financial obligations relating to closure and post-closure costs (long-term care) for which it is or may become responsible. Estimates for final closure and post-closure costs are developed using input from the Company’s engineers and accountants and are reviewed by management, typically at least once per year. These estimates involve projections of costs that will be incurred after the landfill ceases operations and during the legally required post-closure monitoring period. Once the final costs have been estimated, the Company inflates those costs to the expected time of payment and discounts the expected future costs back to present value.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
An inflation rate of 2.50% and a discount rate, using a credit-adjusted, risk-free discount rate of 5.94%, was used to determine the present value of the initial future closure and post-closure costs. The discount rate, established upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (now codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations), is based on the risk-free interest rate on obligations of similar maturity, adjusted for VE’s credit rating. Interest accretion on closure and post-closure liabilities is recorded using the effective-interest method and is included in the cost of operations on the consolidated statements of income and retained earnings.
The Company accrues prospectively for a landfill’s estimated total final closure and post-closure costs on a units-of-consumption basis by applying a rate per ton over the permitted capacity of the landfill. The debit corresponding to the increase in the accrual is recorded as an increase to landfill assets. These assets are then fully depreciated in the same period through depreciation expense. Closure and post-closure costs are fully accrued for each landfill once the site discontinues accepting waste. In addition, the Company accrues for landfill retirement costs arising from final capping obligations as discrete events, rather than as a part of closure costs. These capping obligations are also accrued prospectively on a units-of-consumption basis.
The Company does not believe that it is practical to develop a methodology to reliably estimate a market-risk premium and has, therefore, excluded any such market-risk premium from the determination of expected cash flows for landfill asset retirement obligations.
The changes to disposal site closure and long-term care obligation for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, are as follows:
January 1, 2009 $ 151,744
Liabilities incurred 11,211
Liabilities settled (2,476)
Accretion expense 10,640
December 31, 2009 171,119
Liabilities incurred 11,153
Liabilities settled (6,905)
Accretion expense 10,196

Financial Assurance Bonds and Corporate Guarantees
For certain obligations, the Company elects to satisfy its financial assurance obligations through the use of bonds. The Company pays annual premiums to obtain performance bonds underwritten by insurance carriers. These premiums are amortized over the life of the bond when material. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $159,165 and $65,242, respectively, of coverage under performance bonds for closure and post-closure activities and coverage of $69,825 and $75,339, respectively, for other activities.
The Company satisfies certain financial assurance obligations to state regulatory agencies for landfill closure and post-closure through corporate guarantees. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had provided corporate guarantees totaling $59,600 and $61,200, respectively.
There are no probable and reasonably estimable losses under these corporate guarantees at either December 31, 2010 or 2009. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded on the balance sheets.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company has a 50% equity interest in Urban Sanitation Company Limited, a Bahamian company. The 50% interest provides the Company significant influence but is not a controlling interest; therefore, the Company accounts for its investment using the equity method.
Income Taxes
The operations of the Company and certain affiliates are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Veolia Environnement North America Operations, Inc. (VENAO), a subsidiary of VE. Taxes payable to VENAO are included with other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6) and are calculated as if the Company were a stand-alone taxpayer (see Note 8). Actual federal taxes paid are determined at the VENAO consolidated level.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company recognizes a tax benefit for positions taken on a tax return when such positions are considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on their technical merits. Although the Company believes that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are appropriate, it nevertheless has established tax, penalties, and interest reserves through the income tax provision for certain tax positions that do not meet the recognition threshold based on an evaluation of all available evidence. The tax reserves are reviewed as circumstances warrant and adjusted as events occur that affect the Company’s estimated liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, issuance of administrative guidance, or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information are as follows:
Year Ended December 31
2010 2009
Interest paid, including payments to affiliates $ 7,126 $ 19,647
Income taxes paid, including payments to affiliates 47,086 27,228
Income tax refunds received 214 3,376
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted funds held in trust, accounts payable, debt instruments with related parties, and amounts due from and due to affiliates. None of the Company’s debt instruments outstanding at December 31, 2010, have readily ascertainable market values due to the related-party status. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of these amounts. See Note 7 for the terms and carrying values of the Company’s various debt instruments. The carrying values of the other financial instruments are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Although management believes that the Company’s estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates.
Subsequent Events
In connection with the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through March 28, 2011, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events required to be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance on improving disclosures about fair value measurements. The new guidance requires additional disclosures relating to significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and, for Level 3 fair value measurements, disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. The guidance also clarifies existing disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques and the appropriate level of disaggregation of assets and liabilities for which fair values are provided. At December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any fair value measurements involving transfers between Level 1 and 2, or any Level 3 fair value measurements under the fair value hierarchy.

3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
During 2010, the Company paid approximately $42.0 million in cash to acquire certain businesses, including one landfill and two solid waste collection operations with certain equipment, customers, and routes that the Company can integrate with its existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was primarily to property and equipment of $24.4 million; other intangible assets of $6.8 million; goodwill of
$16.4 million; and landfill closure liability of $(7.2) million. Goodwill represents the premium paid to acquire solid waste collection and disposal operations and an employee workforce with potential synergies involved in integrating the purchased solid waste collection operations into the Company’s existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The entire amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
During 2009, the Company paid $2.2 million in cash to acquire certain businesses, including three solid waste collection operations with certain equipment, customers, and routes that the Company can integrate with its existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The allocation of the purchase price was primarily to property and equipment of $0.7 million; other intangible assets of $0.1 million; and goodwill of $1.7 million. Goodwill represents the premium paid to acquire solid waste collection operations and an employee workforce with potential synergies involved in integrating the purchased solid waste collection operations into the Company’s existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations. The entire amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
As an integral part of certain acquisitions, the former shareholders signed contracts not to compete and, in certain situations, key management members entered into employment agreements to continue in the management of these businesses. Costs associated with these arrangements are charged to operations over their respective lives.
On October 2, 2010, the Company disposed of two landfills and four hauling operations located in Missouri and Illinois for proceeds of $34.4 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company derecognized net assets with a carrying value of $13.2 million (primarily property, equipment, and landfill closure liability) and goodwill of $21.2 million was allocated to the disposal. No gain or loss was recognized related to this transaction. The buyer in this transaction was a third party and also the seller of a business including one landfill and certain solid waste hauling operations acquired by the Company during 2010. Both transactions closed at the same time.

Income taxes payable to VENAO are included in other accrued expenses and represent amounts due under tax-sharing arrangements with affiliates.
Amounts due to Veolia Proprete S.A., an affiliate of VESNA, are included in other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets and represent unpaid brand royalty fees at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Amounts due to VESNA represent a promissory note payable, as discussed below, and net cash sweeps relating to a cash-pooling arrangement offset by various expenses, including insurance coverage, interest expense and management fees paid by VESNA on behalf of the Company. At December 31, 2010, the net cash sweep amount due from VESNA was $82,809 and has been reflected as a reduction in the amounts due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The balance due from VESNA under the cash-pooling arrangement bears interest at a rate of 4.92% in 2010. Interest income (expense) on the principal balance due to or from VESNA under the cash-pooling arrangement is payable monthly and was $3,783 and $(518) during 2010 and 2009, respectively.
On October 30, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a dividend payment of $180,000 to VESNA. The dividend payment was funded through borrowings from a 10-year promissory note with VESNA in the same amount. The note bears interest at a rate that is reset quarterly equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.90% (1.19% and 1.18% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively). Interest accrued on the principal balance is payable quarterly. The principal balance plus any unpaid interest is payable in full on October 30, 2016. Interest expense related to the note payable to VESNA was $2,238 and $3,175 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

7. Transactions With Affiliates (continued)
On October 30, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a dividend payment of $51,177 to VESNA. The dividend was paid to VESNA during 2009 and was funded through the cash-pooling arrangement.
Debt Payable to VESNA
On July 28, 2000, the Company entered into a debt agreement with Veolia Proprete S.A. The debt bore interest at LIBOR plus 0.90%. The outstanding principal balance of $318,359 and accrued interest under this debt agreement were paid in full on December 6, 2007, with proceeds from borrowings under two new debt agreements with Veolia Proprete S.A. The first of the new agreements (Medium-Term Loan) allowed for a maximum principal balance of $211,000. The Medium-Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 0.60% and had a maturity date of December 6, 2012. The second debt agreement (Long-Term Loan) allowed for a maximum principal balance of $110,958. The Long-Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.60% and had a maturity date of December 6, 2022. Interest expense related to the Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements totaled $6,216 for 2009.
The outstanding principal balance of $321,958 and accrued interest under the Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements were paid in full on August 26, 2009, with proceeds from borrowings under two new debt agreements with VESNA. The first of the new agreements (VESNA Medium-Term Loan) allows for a maximum principal balance of $211,000 and matures on August 26, 2014. During the period from August 26, 2009 to December 31, 2009, the VESNA Medium-Term Loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 4.01 %. Following that period, the VESNA Medium-Term Loan bears interest at a rate that is reset semiannually equal to LIBOR plus 0.60% (1.33% at December 31, 2010). The second debt agreement (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-Term Loan) allows for a maximum principal balance of $110,958 and matures on August 26, 2024. During the period from August 26, 2009 to December 31, 2009, the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-Term Loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 4.01 %. Following that period, the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-Term Loan bears interest at a rate that is reset semiannually equal to LIBOR plus 1.60% (2.33% at December 31, 2010). At December 31, 2010, outstanding borrowings under the VESNA Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements were $211,000 and $110,958, respectively. Interest expense related to the VESNA Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements totaled $2,396 and $2,363 for 2010, respectively, and $2,828 and $1,487 for 2009, respectively.

Total deferred tax assets 85,530 81,175
Net deferred tax liabilities $ 77,570 $ 79,231
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23,119 and $26,047, respectively, for state income tax purposes that began to expire in 2009. A valuation allowance of $1,433 and $1,635 has been recorded as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to all of the state net operating loss carryforwards that management believes will not be available to offset the future taxable income of the Company.
The Company also has state tax credit carryovers of approximately $1,446, which are entirely offset by a valuation allowance. It is management’s opinion that realization of the state tax credits is doubtful, in spite of the fact that they have no expiration date.

9. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined-Contribution Plans
The Company has two defined-contribution 401(k) savings plans that cover substantially all non-union employees meeting certain minimum eligibility requirements. Participating employees can elect to defer a portion of their compensation and contribute to the plan on a pretax basis.
The Company also matches certain amounts, as defined in the plan documents. Contributions made by the Company under the various plans were $1,933 and $1,907 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are based on its required contributions to such plans.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans
The Company also participates in various trustee-managed “multi-employer” pension plans under collective bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees. These plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The Company does not have access to current plan financial information and, therefore, is unable to determine its portion of the projected benefit obligation, plan assets, and unfunded liability of the multi-employer pension plans to which it contributes.
The Company’s pension expense for multi-employer plans was $3,382 and $3,178 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is based on its required contributions to such plans.

The Company rents certain facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2017. Future minimum lease payments under these leases as of December 31, 2010, are as follows:
Years ending December 31:
2011 $ 8,967
2012 8,222
2013 8,057
2014 6,730
2015 2,337
Thereafter 38
$ 34,351
Rent expense for the facilities and equipment under operating leases was $7,678 and $4,424 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Environmental
The Company engages independent environmental consulting firms as necessary to assist the Company in conducting environmental assessments of existing landfills or other properties in connection with companies acquired from third parties.
The ultimate amounts for environmental liabilities cannot be precisely determined, and estimates of such liabilities made by the Company, after consultation with the Company’s independent environmental engineers and legal counsel, require assumptions about future events due to a number of uncertainties, including the extent of any contamination, the appropriate remedy, the financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and the final apportionment of responsibility among the potentially responsible parties. Where management has concluded that the Company’s estimated share of potential liabilities is probable, an undiscounted provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
The Company is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters and continually monitors its operations with respect to potential environmental issues, including changes in environmental regulations and remediation technologies. The Company accrues for anticipated environmental monitoring and remediation costs for its landfills in the long-term care accrual (see Note 2).
The Company or its subsidiaries have been notified that they are potentially responsible parties at certain sites listed on the National Priorities List published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When the Company concludes that it is probable that a material liability has been incurred with respect to a site, a provision will be made in the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflecting the Company’s best estimate of the liability based on management’s judgment and experience, information available from regulatory agencies, and the number, financial resources, and relative degree of responsibility of other potentially responsible parties who are jointly and severally liable for remediation of the site, as well as the typical allocation of costs among such parties. The Company believes that ultimate resolution of these environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
As is the case with all sites, the performance of the elected remedies will be subject to periodic review by regulatory agencies. In the event that the selected remedies do not perform adequately to meet applicable state and federal standards, additional remedial measures beyond those currently anticipated could be required by regulatory agencies. Implementation of any such additional remedial measures may involve substantial additional costs beyond those currently anticipated.
Legal
The Company is subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and has implemented its own environmental safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of conducting its operations, the Company may become involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings. Some of these actions may result in fines, penalties, or judgments against the Company, which may have an impact on earnings for a particular period. The Company accrues for litigation and regulatory compliance contingencies when such costs are probable and can reasonably be estimated. The Company expects that matters in process at December 31, 2010, which have not been accrued in the consolidated financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
In the normal course of its business, and as a result of the extensive government regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company periodically may become subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings and investigations involving federal, state, or local agencies. The Company is involved in various environmental matters and governmental proceedings, including original or renewal permit filings in connection with the establishment, operations, expansion, and closure and post-closure activities of certain landfills and other facilities. There can be no assurance that such permits will be granted or that other related proceedings will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company. From time to time, the Company also may be subjected to actions brought by citizens’ groups in connection with the permitting of landfills and other facilities or alleging violations of the permits pursuant to which the Company operates. The Company is also subject from time to time to general commercial claims and litigation and personal injury or property damage claims and litigation arising out of accidents involving its vehicles. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Insurance
The Company, through arrangements with VESNA, has insurance coverage for workers’ compensation and motor vehicle liabilities in excess of certain occurrence deductibles. Provisions are recorded each period for incidents and claims below the occurrence deductible and represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate settlement of developed claims, including claims incurred but not reported. Such provisions representing the obligations of the Company are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. VESNA purchases insurance coverage on behalf of the Company. To the extent that the insurance purchased by VESNA provides coverage for claims in excess of certain occurrence deductibles that are higher than the arrangements between the Company and VESNA, the additional liability is paid by VESNA on behalf of the Company and is not reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company also carries a commercial general liability policy and a property damage policy. The Company maintains a limited environmental impairment liability policy on its landfills and transfer stations that provides coverage, on a “claims-made” basis, against certain third-party, off-site environmental damage. There can be no assurance that the limited environmental impairment policy will remain in place or provide sufficient coverage for existing, but not yet known, third-party, off-site environmental liabilities.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Shareholder Veolia Solid Waste, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In Thousands)
December 31, 2009
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (VES-SW or the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Veolia Environmental Services North America Corp. (VESNA), which is an indirect subsidiary of Veolia Environnement (VE). VE is publicly traded on the Paris stock exchange, with American Depository Receipts also traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company is an integrated solid waste services company providing a range of collection, transfer, transportation, disposal, and recycling services to generators of solid waste and special waste. The Company provides these services in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned and operated 27 landfills, one closed landfill, 71 solid waste collection operations, 12 recycling facilities, and 35 solid waste transfer stations. The Company also manages two other third-party-owned landfills, two recycling facilities, and five transfer stations.
The Company markets its services principally through its facility managers and direct-sales representatives. The Company also obtains new customers from referral sources, reputation, and local media marketing. The Company has a diverse customer base, with no single customer accounting for more than 3% of the Company’s revenues during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company does not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue principally by providing collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal services to generators of solid and special waste. Revenues are recorded as services are performed. Certain customers are billed in advance and, accordingly, recognition of the related revenues is deferred until the services are provided.

Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company grants credit to the majority of its customers. It is not the policy of the Company to require collateral from its customers in order to provide credit. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and credit conditions, as well as the Company’s history of write-offs and collections. The Company’s policy is, generally, to not charge interest on trade receivables after the invoice becomes past due. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received by the due date listed on the invoice terms. Write-offs are recorded against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all reasonable efforts for collection have been exhausted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Vehicles and equipment are depreciated over useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Containers and carts are depreciated over useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. Buildings are depreciated over useful lives ranging from 5 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease.
Landfill costs include the purchase price of the landfill, landfill construction, engineering, and permit costs and certain other professional fees. These costs are amortized using the units-of-production method. Under this method, an amortization cost per ton is calculated for various types of solid waste for each of the Company’s landfills. The cost per ton is based on landfill-specific compaction factors, the determination of airspace utilization and estimated remaining permitted airspace. The determination of airspace utilization and remaining permitted airspace is performed annually by conducting annual topographic surveys, using aerial and field survey techniques of the Company’s landfill facilities to determine remaining airspace in each landfill. The surveys are reviewed by the Company’s consulting engineers, the Company’s internal engineering staff, and its accounting staff. Amortization is recorded by multiplying the respective cost per ton by the tonnage deposited into the landfill.

Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Landfill costs incurred for future development are not amortized until the permit is obtained and operations have commenced. Until such time, these costs are included with land and land improvements. If the Company determines that the landfill cannot be developed, these costs are charged to expense.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test. Amortizable intangible assets primarily consist of customer lists, which are amortized over 8 to 10 years.
The Company is required to perform goodwill impairment tests on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The Company performs its annual test for impairment in its fourth fiscal quarter and, in 2009 and 2008, concluded that an impairment charge was not required. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.
Restricted Funds Held in Trust
Restricted funds held in trust at December 31, 2009 and 2008 consisted of amounts on deposit with various regulatory bodies in accordance with state and local requirements. These funds, together with letters of credit, performance bonds (see Financial Assurance Bonds section in Note 2), and corporate guarantees support the Company’s financial assurance obligations for its facilities’ closure and post-closure costs.
Disposal Site Closure and Long-Term Care
The Company has material financial obligations relating to closure and post-closure costs (long-term care), or remediation of disposal facilities it operates, or for which it is or may become responsible. Estimates for final closure and post-closure costs are developed using input from the Company’s engineers and accountants and are reviewed by management, typically at least once per year. These estimates involve projections of costs that will be incurred after the landfill ceases operations and during the legally required post-closure monitoring period. Once the final costs have been estimated, the Company inflates those costs to the expected time of payment and
0910-1096300 7

Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In Thousands)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
discounts the expected future costs back to present value. An inflation rate of 2.50% and a discount rate, using a credit-adjusted, risk-free discount rate, of 5.94% was used to determine the present value of the initial future closure and post-closure costs. The discount rate, established upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (now codified in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 410,
Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations), is based on the risk-free interest rate on obligations of similar maturity, adjusted for VE’s credit rating. Interest accretion on closure and post-closure liabilities is recorded using the effective-interest method and is included in the cost of operations on the consolidated statements of income and retained earnings.
The Company accrues prospectively for a landfill’s estimated total final closure and post-closure costs on a units-of-consumption basis by applying a rate per ton over the permitted capacity of the landfill. The debit corresponding to the increase in the accrual is recorded as an increase to landfill assets. These assets are then fully depreciated in the same period through depreciation expense. Closure and post-closure costs are fully accrued for each landfill once the site discontinues accepting waste. In addition, the Company accrues for landfill retirement costs arising from final capping obligations as discrete events, rather than as a part of closure costs. These capping obligations are also accrued prospectively on a units-of-consumption basis.
The Company does not believe that it is practical to develop a methodology to reliably estimate a market-risk premium and has, therefore, excluded any such market-risk premium from the determination of expected cash flows for landfill asset retirement obligations.
The changes to disposal site closure and long-term care obligation for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, are as follows:
January 1, 2008 $ 138,736
Liabilities incurred 13,734
Liabilities settled (10,605)
Accretion expense 9,879
December 31, 2008 151,744
Liabilities incurred 11,211
Liabilities settled (2,476)
Accretion expense 10,640
December 31, 2009 $171,119

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial Assurance Bonds
For certain obligations, the Company elects to satisfy its financial assurance obligations through the use of bonds. The Company pays annual premiums to obtain performance bonds underwritten by insurance carriers. These premiums are amortized over the life of the bond when material. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had $65,242 and $60,811, respectively, of coverage under performance bonds for closure and post-closure activities and coverage of $75,339 and $91,350, respectively, for other activities.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
The Company has a 50% equity interest in Urban Sanitation Company Limited, a Bahamian company. The 50% interest provides the Company significant influence but is not a controlling interest; therefore, the Company accounts for its investment using the equity method.
Income Taxes
The operations of the Company and certain affiliates are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Veolia Environnement North America Operations, Inc. (VENAO), a subsidiary of VE. Taxes payable to VENAO are included with other accrued expenses on the balance sheet (see also Note 6) and are calculated as if the Company were a stand-alone taxpayer (see also Note 8). Actual federal taxes paid are determined at the VENAO consolidated level.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit for positions taken on a tax return when such positions are considered “more likely than not” to be sustained based solely on their technical merits. Although the Company believes that the positions taken on previously filed tax returns are appropriate, it nevertheless has established tax and interest reserves for certain tax positions that do not meet the recognition threshold based on an evaluation of all available evidence. The tax reserves are reviewed as circumstances warrant and adjusted as events occur that affect the Company’s estimated liability for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, issuance of administrative guidance, or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted funds held in trust, accounts payable, debt instruments with related parties, and amounts due from and due to affiliates. None of the Company’s debt instruments outstanding at December 31, 2009, have readily ascertainable market values due to the related-party status. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of these amounts. See Note 7 for the terms and carrying values of the Company’s various debt instruments. The carrying values of the other financial instruments are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Although management believes that the Company’s estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-01, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 - The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification or ASC) as the official single source of authoritative GAAP. All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the forms of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Abstracts. Instead, FASB will issue an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that will update the Codification. The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it does change the way GAAP is presented and organized. The Codification is effective for the Company’s 2009 financial statements. The principal impact of this adoption is limited to disclosures, because all references to authoritative accounting guidance have been updated to reference the Codification.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, now codified in ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The adoption of the provisions within ASC 740-10 with respect to tax uncertainties did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, now codified in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. As permitted, the Company applied the provisions of ASC 820 with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities, as well as for any other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements during 2008, and adopted the provisions of ASC 820 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities during 2009. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, as codified in ASC 805, Business Combinations. ASC 805 establishes the principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and, (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This guidance applies prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the effective date except for certain provisions related to deferred income tax accounts that apply to certain prior year acquisitions. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have an material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, as codified in ASC 805-20, Business Combination: Identifiable Assets and Liabilities, and Any Non-controlling Interest. ASC 805-20 amends and clarifies accounting standards to address application issues associated with initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position FAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as codified in ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 5, as codified in ASC 810, Consolidation. ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards that improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. This guidance applies prospectively beginning in the fiscal year in which the guidance is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, as codified in ASC 855, Subsequent Events. ASC 855 refers to subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date as “recognized subsequent events.” Subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date, but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, are referred to as “non-recognized subsequent events.” It also requires companies to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether this date is the date the financial statements were available to be issued for non-public companies, including the Company. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Company’s adoption of ASC 855, the Company evaluated subsequent events through March 26, 2010, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

3. Acquisitions
During 2009, the Company paid $2,226 in cash to acquire certain businesses, including three solid waste collection operations with certain equipment, customers, and routes that the Company can integrate with its existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations.
During 2008, the Company paid $17,527 in cash to acquire certain businesses, including two solid waste collection operations with certain equipment, customers, and routes that the Company integrated with its existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations.
During 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded net increases to goodwill of $1,681 and $14,406, respectively, related to acquisition activity, which primarily represents the premium paid to acquire employees and potential synergies involved in integrating the purchased solid waste collection operations with the Company’s existing landfills and solid waste transfer operations.
As an integral part of certain acquisitions, the former shareholders signed contracts not to compete and, in certain situations, key management members entered into employment agreements to continue in the management of these businesses. Costs associated with these arrangements are charged to operations over their respective lives.

9. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined-Contribution Plans
The Company has two defined-contribution 401(k) savings plans that cover substantially all non-union employees meeting certain minimum eligibility requirements. Participating employees can elect to defer a portion of their compensation and contribute to the plan on a pretax basis.
The Company also matches certain amounts, as defined in the plan documents. Contributions made by the Company under the various plans were $1,907 and $1,726 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is based on its required contributions to such plans.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans
The Company also participates in various trustee-managed “multi-employer” pension plans under collective bargaining agreements covering union-represented employees. These plans generally provide retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The Company does not have access to current plan financial information and, therefore, is unable to determine its portion of the projected benefit obligation, plan assets, and unfunded liability of the multi-employer pension plans to which it contributes.
The Company’s pension expense for multi-employer plans was $3,178 and $3,146 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is based on its required contributions to such plans.

Years Ending December 31:
2010 $6,632

$28,607
Rent expense for the facilities and equipment under operating leases was $4,424 and $4,673 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Environmental
The Company engages independent environmental consulting firms as necessary to assist the Company in conducting environmental assessments of existing landfills or other properties and in connection with companies acquired from third parties.
The ultimate amounts for environmental liabilities cannot be precisely determined, and estimates of such liabilities made by the Company, after consultation with the Company’s independent environmental engineers and legal counsel, require assumptions about future events due to a number of uncertainties, including the extent of any contamination, the appropriate remedy, the financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and the final apportionment of responsibility among the potentially responsible parties. Where management has concluded that the Company’s estimated share of potential liabilities is probable, an undiscounted provision has been made in the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
The Company is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters and continually monitors its operations with respect to potential environmental issues, including changes in environmental regulations and remediation technologies. The Company accrues for anticipated environmental monitoring and remediation costs for its landfills in the long-term care accrual (see Note 2).
The Company or its subsidiaries have been notified that they are potentialJy responsible parties at certain sites listed on the National Priorities List published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When the Company concludes that it is probable that a material liability has been incurred with respect to a site, a provision will be made in the Company’s financial statements reflecting the Company’s best estimate of the liability based on management’s judgment and experience, information available from regulatory agencies, and the number, financial resources, and relative degree of responsibility of other potentially responsible parties who are jointly and severally liable for remediation of the site, as well as the typical allocation of costs among such parties. The Company believes that ultimate resolution of these environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
As is the case with all sites, the performance of the elected remedies will be subject to periodic review by regulatory agencies. In the event the selected remedies do not perform adequately to meet applicable state and federal standards, additional remedial measures beyond those currently anticipated could be required by regulatory agencies. Implementation of any such additional remedial measures may involve substantial additional costs beyond those currently anticipated.
Legal
The Company is subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and has implemented the Company’s own environmental safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of conducting the Company’s operations, the Company may become involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings. Some of these actions may result in fines, penalties, or judgments against the Company, which may have an impact on earnings for a particular period. The Company accrues for litigation and regulatory compliance contingencies when such costs are probable and can reasonably be estimated. The Company expects that matters in process at December 31, 2009, which have not been accrued in the consolidated financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on liquidity, financial position, or results from operations.

10. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
In the normal course of its business, and as a result of the extensive government regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company periodically may become subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings and investigations involving federal, state, or local agencies. The Company is involved in various environmental matters and governmental proceedings, including original or renewal permit filings in connection with the establishment, operations, expansion, and closure and post-closure activities of certain landfills and other facilities. There can be no assurance that such permits will be granted or that other related proceedings will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company. From time to time, the Company also may be subjected to actions brought by citizen’s groups in connection with the permitting of landfills and other facilities or alleging violations of the permits pursuant to which the Company operates. The Company is also subject from time to time to general commercial claims and litigation and personal injury or property damage claims and litigation arising out of accidents involving its vehicles. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Insurance
The Company, through arrangements with VESNA, has insurance coverage for workers’ compensation and motor vehicle liabilities in excess of certain occurrence deductibles. Provisions are recorded each period for incidents and claims below the occurrence deductible and represent management’s best estimate of the ultimate settlement of developed claims, including claims incurred but not reported. Such provisions representing the obligations of the Company are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. VESNA purchases insurance coverages on behalf of the Company. To the extent the insurance purchased by VESNA provides coverage for claims in excess of certain occurrence deductibles that are higher than the arrangements between the Company and VESNA, the additional liability is paid by VESNA on behalf of the Company and is not reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company also carries a commercial general liability policy and a property damage policy. The Company maintains a limited environmental impairment liability policy on its landfills and transfer stations that provides coverage, on a “claims made” basis, against certain third-party, off-site environmental damage. There can be no assurance that the limited environmental impairment policy will remain in place or provide sufficient coverage for existing, but not yet known, third-party, off-site environmental liabilities.

Report of Independent Accountants
The Board of Directors and Shareholder Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. as of May 31, 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the five-month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011. This condensed financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed financial information referred to above for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 19, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Unaudited
(In Thousands)
May 31, 2012
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Veolia Environmental Services North America Corp. (VESNA), which is an indirect subsidiary of Veolia Environnement (VE). VE is publicly traded on the Paris Stock Exchange, with American Depository Receipts also traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2012, and for the five months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which unless otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies as compared to those applied in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. New accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company during 2012 did not have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In preparing these financial statements, the Company makes numerous estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available, or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methods. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and the Company must exercise significant judgment. In preparing these financial statements, the most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and the assumptions that present the greatest amount of uncertainty relate to the Company’s accounting for landfills, environmental remediation liabilities, asset impairments, deferred income taxes, and reserves associated with insured and self-insured claims. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that the Company uses in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events
In connection with the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through July 6, 2012, the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events required to be recognized or disclosed in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Landfill Liabilities
The Company has material financial obligations relating to closure and post-closure costs (long-term care) for which it is or may become responsible. Estimates for final closure and post-closure costs are developed using input from the Company’s engineers and accountants and are reviewed by management, typically at least once per year. These estimates involve projections of costs that will be incurred after the landfill ceases operations and during the legally required post-closure monitoring period. Once the final costs have been estimated, the Company inflates those costs to the expected time of payment and discounts the expected future costs back to present value.
An inflation rate of 2.50% and a discount rate, using a credit-adjusted, risk-free discount rate of
5.94%, was used to determine the present value of the initial future closure and post-closure costs. The discount rate, established upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, is based on the risk-free interest rate on obligations of similar maturity, adjusted for VE’s credit rating. Interest accretion on closure and post-closure liabilities is recorded using the effective-interest method and is included in the cost of operations on the condensed consolidated statements of income and retained earnings.
The Company accrues prospectively for a landfill’s estimated total final closure and post-closure costs on a units-of-consumption basis by applying a rate per ton over the permitted capacity of the landfill. The debit corresponding to the increase in the accrual is recorded as an increase to landfill assets. These assets are then fully depreciated in the same period through depreciation expense. Closure and post-closure costs are fully accrued for each landfill once the site discontinues accepting waste. In addition, the Company accrues for landfill retirement costs arising from final capping obligations as discrete events, rather than as a part of closure costs. These capping obligations are also accrued prospectively on a units-of-consumption basis.

2. Landfill Liabilities (continued)
The Company does not believe that it is practical to develop a methodology to reliably estimate a market-risk premium and has therefore excluded any such market-risk premium from the determination of expected cash flows for landfill asset retirement obligations.
The changes to disposal site closure and long-term care obligation for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the five months ended May 31, 2012, are reflected in the table below:

4. Transactions With Affiliates (continued)
Amounts due to VESNA represent promissory notes payable, as discussed below, and net cash sweeps relating to a cash-pooling arrangement offset by various expenses, including insurance coverage, interest expense and management fees paid by VESNA on behalf of the Company. At May 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the net cash sweep amount due from VESNA was $158,368 and $117,946, respectively, and has been reflected as a reduction in the amounts due to affiliates on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The balance due from VESNA under the cash-pooling arrangement bears interest at a rate of 1.67% and 2.68% in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest income (expense) on the principal balance due to or from VESNA under the cash-pooling arrangement is payable monthly and was $1,095 and $1,309 during the five months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
On October 30, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a dividend payment of $180,000 to VESNA. The dividend payment was funded through borrowings from a 10 -year promissory note with VESNA in the same amount. The note bears interest at a rate that is reset quarterly equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.90% (1.37% and 1.28% at May 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively). Interest accrued on the principal balance is payable quarterly. The principal balance plus any unpaid interest is payable in full on October 30, 2016. Interest expense related to the note payable to VESNA was $1,077 and $895 for the five months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Debt Payable to VESNA
On August 26, 2009, the Company entered into new debt agreements with VESNA. The first of the new agreements (VESNA Medium-Term Loan) allows for a maximum principal balance of $211,000 and matures on August 26, 2014. The VESNA Medium-Term Loan bears interest at a rate that is reset semiannually equal to LIBOR plus 0.60% (1.40% and 1.01% for the five months ended May 31, 2012, and the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively). The second debt agreement (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-Term Loan) allows for a maximum principal balance of $110,958 and matures on August 26, 2024. The ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-Term Loan bears interest at a rate that is reset semiannually equal to LIBOR plus 1.60% (2.40% and 2.01% at May31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively). At May 31, 2012, outstanding borrowings under the VESNA Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements were $211,000 and $110,958, respectively. Interest expense related to the VESNA Medium-Term and Long-Term Loan agreements totaled $1,180 and $1,086, respectively, for the five months ended May 31, 2012, and $950 and $961, respectively, for the five months ended May 31, 2011.

4. Transactions With Affiliates (continued) Veolia Environment Letter-of-Credit Facility
The Company participates in a $1.25 billion letter-of-credit facility with VE and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries (VE LOC Facility). At May 31, 2012, the Company had open letters of credit totaling approximately $8,351 under the VE LOC Facility. Total expenses related to the VE LOC Facility were $59 and $383 for the five months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In addition, VESNA maintains open letters of credit as collateral to secure its obligations under its various insurance policies. The portion of these letters of credit related to the Company’s obligations is approximately $38,132 at May 31, 2012.
5. Commitments and Contingencies Environmental
The Company engages independent environmental consulting firms as necessary to assist the Company in conducting environmental assessments of existing landfills or other properties in connection with companies acquired from third parties.
The ultimate amounts for environmental liabilities cannot be precisely determined, and estimates of such liabilities made by the Company, after consultation with the Company’s independent environmental engineers and legal counsel, require assumptions about future events due to a number of uncertainties, including the extent of any contamination, the appropriate remedy, the financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and the final apportionment of responsibility among the potentially responsible parties. Where management has concluded that the Company’s estimated share of potential liabilities is probable, an undiscounted provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company is subject to various laws and governmental regulations concerning environmental matters and continually monitors its operations with respect to potential environmental issues, including changes in environmental regulations and remediation technologies. The Company accrues for anticipated environmental monitoring and remediation costs for its landfills in the long-term care accrual (see Note 2).

Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc.

(In Thousands)
5. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
The Company or its subsidiaries have been notified that they are potentially responsible parties at certain sites listed on the National Priorities List published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When the Company concludes that it is probable that a material liability has been incurred with respect to a site, a provision will be made in the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflecting the Company’s best estimate of the liability based on management’s judgment and experience, information available from regulatory agencies, and the number, financial resources, and relative degree of responsibility of other potentially responsible parties who are jointly and severally liable for remediation of the site, as well as the typical allocation of costs among such parties. The Company believes that ultimate resolution of these environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
As is the case with all sites, the performance of the elected remedies will be subject to periodic review by regulatory agencies. In the event that the selected remedies do not perform adequately to meet applicable state and federal standards, additional remedial measures beyond those currently anticipated could be required by regulatory agencies. Implementation of any such additional remedial measures may involve substantial additional costs beyond those currently anticipated.
Legal
The Company is subject to extensive and evolving laws and regulations and has implemented its own environmental safeguards to respond to regulatory requirements. In the normal course of conducting its operations, the Company may become involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings. Some of these actions may result in fines, penalties, or judgments against the Company, which may have an impact on earnings for a particular period. The Company accrues for litigation and regulatory compliance contingencies when such costs are probable and can reasonably be estimated. The Company expects that any matters in process at May 31, 2012, which have not been accrued in the consolidated financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

5. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
In February 2009, the Company and certain subsidiaries were named as defendants in a purported class action suit in Circuit Court, which was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. The plaintiffs allege that the Company charged improper fees (fuel surcharge, administrative fees, environmental fees) that were in breach of the plaintiffs’ contracts. Similar class action complaints were also brought against the Company and certain subsidiaries in the states of Georgia, Alabama, and Illinois. The matter filed in the state of Illinois pertains to a class of individuals and entities in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. After several attempts to mediate these issues, the Company and plaintiffs’ counsel agreed in May 2012 to settle this litigation. In exchange for a dismissal, with prejudice, of all cases pending against the Company and its officers, the Company agreed to fund a settlement pool up to a maximum of $15 million to pay plaintiffs’ counsel legal fees and related court costs, with the remainder of the settlement pool to be available for a claims-made payout with reversion rights to the Company for any settlement pool funds remaining unclaimed, except for a minimum agreed payout of at least $2.5 million. The Company and plaintiffs’ counsel are in the process of preparing a single settlement document with the agreed-upon terms that will be presented to the court for final approval. The Company believes it is probable that the agreed-upon settlement will be approved by the court. Accordingly, based on information currently available and with the input of external specialists and legal counsel in these matters, the Company recorded a provision of $8.5 million, included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income for the five months ended May 31, 2012, which represents management’s best estimate of the payments to be made to plaintiffs’ counsel and participants in the settlement of the class action litigation, as well as costs to administer the settlement. The range of possible loss, excluding administrative costs, related to the settlement of this litigation is $7.5 million to
$15.0 million.
The Company’s charter and bylaws require indemnification of its officers and directors if statutory standards of conduct have been met and allow the advancement of expenses to these individuals upon receipt of an undertaking by the individuals to repay all expenses if it is ultimately determined that they did not meet the required standards of conduct. The Company may incur substantial expenses in connection with the fulfillment of its advancement of costs and indemnification obligations in connection with current actions involving former or current officers of the Company or other actions or proceedings that may be brought against its former or current officers and employees.

5. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
In the normal course of its business, and as a result of the extensive government regulation of the solid waste industry, the Company periodically may become subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings and investigations involving federal, state, or local agencies. The Company is involved in various environmental matters and governmental proceedings, including original or renewal permit filings in connection with the establishment, operations, expansion, and closure and post-closure activities of certain landfills and other facilities. There can be no assurance that such permits will be granted or that other related proceedings will be resolved in a manner favorable to the Company. From time to time, the Company also may be subjected to actions brought by citizens’ groups in connection with the permitting of landfills and other facilities or alleging violations of the permits pursuant to which the Company operates. The Company is also subject from time to time to general commercial claims and litigation and personal injury or property damage claims and litigation arising out of accidents involving its vehicles. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Financial Assurance Bonds and Corporate Guarantees
For certain obligations, the Company elects to satisfy its financial assurance obligations through the use of bonds. The Company pays annual premiums to obtain performance bonds underwritten by insurance carriers. These premiums are amortized over the life of the bond when material. At May 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Company had $219,561 and $216,835 respectively, of coverage under performance bonds for closure and post-closure activities, and coverage of $72,790 and $74,684, respectively, for other activities.
The Company satisfies certain financial assurance obligations to state regulatory agencies for landfill closure and post-closure through corporate guarantees. At May 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company provided corporate guarantees totaling $56,797 and $55,842, respectively.
There are no probable and reasonably estimable losses under these corporate guarantees at either May 31, 2012, or December 31, 2011. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

5. Commitments and Contingencies (continued) Post-Retirement Health Insurance
The Company and VESNA are obligated to provide health insurance benefits to four former employees and their families under the terms of employment contracts originally entered into between the employees and the Company. Two of the employees were subsequently employed by VESNA, and the liability was assumed by VESNA as part of their amended employment contracts. However, the liability established under these arrangements remains on the books of the Company. The present value of the expected future obligation of $3,686 and $3,653 as of May 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, is included in other liabilities. At May 31, 2012, the portion of the liability attributable to the VESNA employees was $1,994, and the portion attributable to the Company’s employees was $1,692.
Royalties
The Company has various arrangements that require it to pay royalties to former landowners, lessors, or the host communities in which certain operations are located. These obligations are generally based on waste tonnage disposed of at specified landfills or transfer stations. These royalties are payable monthly or quarterly and amounts incurred, but not paid, are accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Insurance
The Company, through arrangements with VESNA, carries a commercial general liability policy and a property damage policy. The Company maintains an environmental impairment liability policy on its landfills and transfer stations that provides coverage, on a “claims-made” basis, against certain third-party, off-site environmental damage. There can be no assurance that the environmental impairment policy will remain in place or provide sufficient coverage for existing, but not yet known, third-party, off-site environmental liabilities.

GOLDER ASSOCIATES INC. OPINION STATEMENT
ON
VEOLIA ES SOLID WASTE, INC. (VEOLIA ES-SW) ASSETS
Introduction
Veolia ES Solid Waste, Inc. (Veolia ES-SW) has requested Golder Associates Inc. (Golder) to offer an opinion on its United States (US) landfill assets in support of the upcoming 2012 Bank Offering.
Golder’s opinion is based on our experience providing consulting services to the waste industry and our own involvement over the past three years performing environmental audits at select facilities for Veolia ES-SW. In 2011, Golder conducted environmental audits at approximately 130 facilities that Veolia ES-SW owns and operates, including landfills, transfer stations, hauling companies, and material recycling facilities (MRFs).
Golder has reviewed financial (e.g. engineering cost estimates) and environmental information related to the 28 Veolia ES-SW US landfills. A list of the landfills is provided as Attachment 1. The data provided by Veolia ES-SW includes:
Landfill Models;
Spending Outlook Summary;
Landfill Capacity Summary;
Leachate Generation Survey;
Landfill Gas-to-Energy (LFGTE) Summary;
Environmental Liability Summary; and
Dakota Auditor Outputs.
Golder has found that Veolia ES-SW documentation is in good order and has been prepared in similar fashion to other industry landfills and environmental facilities.
Golder also conducted interviews with Veolia ES-SW corporate, regional, and site personnel to discuss capital and spending projections, construction schedules, expansion potential and an environmental overview of each landfill. The data and interview results were utilized to formulate our opinion regarding Veolia ES-SW’s landfill assets.
The following offers Golder’s review and observations concerning the Veolia ES-SW Landfill Asset Overview, Expenditure (Spending) Projections, Expansion Viability, Environmental Summary, our Conclusion, and noted Limitations.
Landfill Asset Overview
Veolia ES-SW owns and operates 28 active landfills in central and eastern US: Wisconsin (6), Illinois (3), Minnesota (1), Missouri (2), Michigan (1), Indiana (2), Kentucky (2), Pennsylvania (3), Alabama (3), Georgia (3), Florida (1) and The Grand Bahamas (1). Attachment 1, Airspace Capacity and Site Life Summary, provides site data including airspace, site life, and waste receiving volumes for each of the 28 active landfills based on current waste volumes.
As of January 2012, a total of 361,732,197 cubic yards (cy) of airspace capacity remained at all facilities. Based on the data provided to Golder, the reported, non-weighted average in-place density is 1833 pounds per cubic yard (lbs/cy); Some of the higher densities at select facilities can be attributed to leachate recirculation, and acceptance of contaminated soil, sediment and/or sludge. The average waste intake per landfill is about 1,600 tons per day (tpd), with two high-volume sites receiving more than 5,000 tpd. Additionally three sites receive more than 3,000 tpd.

April 20, 2012

Opinion Statement on Veolia ES Solid Waste Assets
Seven landfills have pending expansions with a total additional airspace capacity of 74,540,000cy. Six expansions are expected to be approved in 2012-2014, and one expansion (Rolling Hills) is projected to be approved by 2017. These expansions provide a 20.6% increase over remaining 2012 airspace and demonstrate Veolia ES-SW continuous efforts to increase airspace.
It should be noted that although some of the landfills have closed units, Veolia ES-SW has very few closed sites. The three (3) closed or closing sites include Valley Meadows Landfill (WI) which is closed and Oak Ridge (MO) and the Pecan Row Landfill (GA), which are closing in 2012-2013.
Our review suggests that, in general, the landfills are well operated, maintained, and monitored.
Expenditure Projections
Golder reviewed expenditures that generally were related to site improvements or regulatory requirements for each site. The expenditures included capital spending for property acquisitions, permitting, new landfill cell construction, and infrastructure, as well as spending for final cover construction and gas management system expansions. Veolia ES-SW is actively pursuing landfill expansions that will require infrastructure improvements and new cell development. These improvements will require a temporary increase in spending to construct additional airspace. Additionally, several sites will require final cover and gas system extensions over the next five years as part of ongoing best management practices.
To facilitate the review, Golder grouped future expenditures for 2013-2017 into four (4) categories: Unique/One-time Projects, Airspace Construction, Closure/Landfill Gas (LFG) Construction, and Operations Driven Construction. A brief description of each spending category follows:
1. Unique/One-time Projects include construction that does not regularly occur such as expansion infrastructure, waste relocation, and leachate treatment facility construction. A large component of total spending is related to unique and one-time projects due to the newly approved and pending expansions.
2. Airspace Construction includes all costs related to cell construction to gain useable airspace.
3. Closure/LFG Construction includes regulatory driven final cover and landfill gas construction.
4. Operations Driven Construction includes items such as access roads and storm water management improvements.
Presented on Table 1 and Figure 1 is Golder’s analysis and breakdown of forecasted spending for the next five year period (2013-2017).

Over the 10-year period presented in the figure above, average annual spending is $39.0M.
Unique/One-Time Projects: Projected spending for 2013 -2017 is $28.0M. A majority of these projects are related to infrastructure construction necessary for newly approved or pending expansions such as road extensions, leachate tanks and treatment facilities, levee construction, landfill gas pipelines, and significant storm water control improvements. For example, Arbor Hills Landfill needs to relocate the office and maintenance buildings and related facilities for $2.1M. Valley View Landfill is constructing a new levee and related infrastructure for $2.0M to prepare for its anticipated expansion. Two sites are relocating waste from unlined areas to the composite lined expansion areas: Glacier Ridge Landfill is projecting $3.95M and Valley View Landfill is projecting $4.2M for relocation of waste. Waste relocations will be initiated once expansions are approved at each site.
Golder notes Oak Ridge Landfill stopped receiving waste after the site reached its maximum capacity in 2011. The cost to construct final cover at Oak Ridge in 2012 is estimated to be $5.0 M. With this site being closed, Veolia ES-SW will incur a one-time expense and no longer be in the St. Louis, MO market. Pecan Row is also closing and will incur a one-time expense in 2013 of $4.8M.
Projected costs for unique/one-time projects represent 14% of 2013-2017 spending. Veolia ES-SW is planning to increase airspace through the proposed expansions and needs the infrastructure from these projects to support the expansions.
Airspace Construction: $108.3M is projected to be spent in 2013-2017 building new cells for waste disposal including excavation, liner and leachate collection system construction. $63.5M is projected to be spent in 2013-2014 alone primarily due to airspace from expansions being constructed. Projected costs for these projects represent 56% of 2013-2017 spending. Figure 3 represents the correlation between remaining constructed airspace (i.e. available airspace for waste disposal) and airspace construction costs. Annual airspace depletion was based on the 2011 rate, with a projected 2% increase per year. It is noted that available constructed airspace will reach around 54M cy at the end of 2014 which equals to

Closure Construction: Projected to be $50.8M in 2013-2017. Veolia ES-SW postponed some closure construction during the past few years due to economic conditions and site specific geometry issues related to airspace recovery. This is consistent with the solid waste industry trend. Closure costs include primarily final cover and gas management system construction. This spending is considered part of best management practices and mitigates potential environmental risks and operational costs.
The projected costs for closure construction projects represent 26% of 2013-2017 spending.
Operations Driven Construction: Operations driven costs includes internal access/haul roads, temporary LFG control, leachate recirculation system extensions, and minor storm water improvements. Four percent or $8.2M is projected to be spent on operations driven construction in 2013-2017.
Expenditure Summary
Golder concludes that increased spending in the next two years is due to the three recently approved expansions and six pending expansions anticipated to be approved, requiring infrastructure improvements that will be primarily completed by 2015.
Golder also notes that the new Marcellus Shale Gas waste stream has provided an expanding market in Western Pennsylvania and has helped increase landfill filling rates for Chestnut Valley and Greentree Landfills. This is also contributing to the landfill construction spending going forward.
In addition, the spending model for the Lancaster Landfill has been adjusted to limit the capital spending over the next five years, which will necessitate a significant reduction in tonnages

Opinion Statement on Veolia ES Solid Waste Assets
Expenditure Projections appear to be consistent with other landfill industry projections and current market conditions.
Expansion Viability
Expansions at Arbor Hills Landfill, Lancaster Landfill, and a vertical expansion at Zion Landfill were recently approved. Expansions are pending at seven facilities as summarized in Table 2. Veolia ES-SW expansions appear to be progressing and are typical to the landfill siting and permitting process. It is noted that the remaining permitted site life is less than two years at Hickory Meadows, Valley View, and Rolling Hills Landfills while these sites await for the expansion approval, therefore the timing of the expansion approval can be critical to the site operations.
The expansion capacity shown in Table 2 is from January 2012 VES-SW estimates and is subject to change as part of the ongoing permitting process by the respective state agencies.

Rolling Hills Landfill (MN) 11,000,000 25
Projected by VES-SW to be approved in 2017. Still requires local approval.
Valley View Landfill (IL) 9,532,000 35
Expected to be approved in 2012; however it is difficult to assess IEPA’s approval schedule.
Zion Landfill (IL) 7,108,000 8
Expected to be approved in early 2013; however it is difficult to assess IEPA approval schedule.
Evergreen Landfill (GA) 20,000,000 39
Likely to be approved in 2013.
Long-Term Care Costs
The long-term care (LTC) costs for 2013-2017 is low due to the small number of closed sites. Currently the LTC cost is about $85,000 per year for the currently closed Valley Meadows Landfill. After final closure of Oak Ridge and Pecan Row Landfill in 2012-2013, additional annual LTC costs will be $328,544. Therefore, the actual cash spending for LTC costs in 2013-2017 is estimated to be about $2.1M.
Attachment 2, Closure and Long-Term Care Costs Summary, presents the total remaining closure and LTC cost for each of the 28 active sites and the one closed site. All costs in Attachment 2 are as of January 2012 and are in 2012 value. The total remaining closure costs for 28 sites are $355.3M, and the total LTC costs for the 29 sites are $215.1M. These projected costs for closure and LTC would be accrued in a reserve for future spending.
Environmental Summary
Golder completed environmental audits on the 28 Veolia ES-SW’s US active landfills in 2009-2011. In 2011, we also completed audits of Veolia ES-SW’s transfer, hauling, and material recycling facilities (MRF) located in North America. The audits included a site visit, review of environmental and operational documents on site, and interviews with site personnel. The documents that were reviewed include permits, Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Stormwater Pollution Prevention

(SWPPP) plans, environmental monitoring data, and operational data. Issues discovered during the audits were noted as “red flags” in Veolia ES-SW’s internal Dakota Auditor system. Dakota Auditor is the system that Veolia ES-SW utilizes to document and track environmental issues and also the resolution of those issues at their facilities. Potential environmental liabilities are summarized as follows:
LGRL Landfill: The LGRL Landfill in Wisconsin is an unlined Superfund site that historically accepted hazardous waste and has impacted groundwater with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Veolia ES-SW is planning on exhuming the LGRL waste and disposing of it in the pending expansion at the adjacent Glacier Ridge Landfill. The waste relocation is expected to occur in 2013-2015 and is projected to cost $3.95M.
Orchard Hills Landfill: Orchard Hills Landfill in Illinois has received a Notice of Violation (NOV) for odors due to H2S production from crushed wallboard. Approximately $9.6M has been spent in 2010-2011 to construct 43 acres of final cover and expand the gas management system in response to the NOV.
Valley View Landfill: Unit 1 at Valley View Landfill is unlined and has impacted groundwater. Veolia ES-SW is planning on exhuming portions of Unit 1 waste and re-disposing it as part of the proposed Unit 2 expansion. Waste relocation is expected to occur in 2014-2015 and cost $4.2M.
Jersey City Transfer Station: Free product (diesel fuel) is present in groundwater monitoring wells due to a historic (mid 1990s) leaking underground storage tank. $600,000 has been reserved for future remedial activities.
Valley Meadows: Closed landfill (1999) in Wisconsin with a portion of the site unlined. Some groundwater impacts from gas migration have been detected. No significant costs are projected at this time.
Veolia ES-SW has some potential environmental liabilities; however, the issues noted above are being actively managed to reduce their potential impact to groundwater and air. Veolia ES-SW currently has only one stand alone closed site and two more closing in 2012-2013.
The small number of closed sites has resulted in fewer environmental liabilities for Veolia ES-SW landfills and appears to be relatively low compared to US waste industry standards.
Conclusions
Based on Golder’s familiarity with the landfill assets, our review of the summary information, and interviews with Veolia ES-SW personnel, it is our opinion that Veolia ES-SW has operated and maintained its solid waste assets at or above industry standards.
The spending projections for 2013-2017 represent an increase over spending during 2008-2012. This increase is primarily due to the infrastructure and new cells for the expansions coming on line in the next three years. The average of actual spending from 2008-2012 and projected spending from 2013-2017 is $39.0M/year. Note that approximately 51% of projected spending for the next six years (including 2012) is related to landfill cell construction. It is our opinion that Veolia ES-SW spending projections are reasonable and represent an approach standard in the solid waste industry.
Veolia ES-SW has pending expansions that upon approval will add 74.5 million cy of new capacity to its landfill facilities. This demonstrates that Veolia ES-SW has planned for future volume at these facilities. The expansions are likely to be approved, however due to regulatory agency or local input, the schedule for approval may be longer than expected. One exception is Rolling Hills Landfill which needs to obtain local approval and Veolia ES-SW currently does not know if or when this will occur.
Some environmental concerns exist including groundwater exceedances and landfill gas emissions. A Superfund site, where Veolia ES-SW has a 39.5% participatory level, is present in Horicon, WI. Veolia ES-SW is actively addressing groundwater and gas control issues at each site.

1 INTRODUCTION
This Due Diligence Review for Veolia ES Solid Waste (Veolia) facilities was prepared to assist Star Atlantic Waste Holdings, LP (Star Atlantic) with preparing their bid to purchase the stock of Veolia. As requested by Star Atlantic, Cornerstone Environmental Group, LLC (Cornerstone) reviewed the documentation provided by Veolia on the Merrill Datasite and anonymously accessed public records to evaluate these facilities. Cornerstone has prepared separately, Due Diligence Evaluations for the active landfill assets owned by Veolia. This report considers the non-landfill assets.
Considered inherently less of an environmental liability than landfill facilities, the information provided for the non-landfill facilities was subjected to a screening assessment instead of preparing full summaries of existing information for each site.
Further, the process governing the pre-acquisition review did not allow for site inspections, facility manager interviews or regular interviews. Therefore, the data relied upon for this evaluation was limited to the documents and information provided by Veolia and other publically accessible information as described above.
The Veolia Transfer Stations, Hauling Operations, Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), and The Properties Veolia Transfer were reviewed Stations, using Hauling a screening process of the available environmental database records, Veolia internal audits, and Veolia environmental liability summaries and NOV disclosures. Where issues were identified, they were compared against a materiality threshold of $50,000 to determine which facilities may have issues significant enough to warrant further evaluation.
The process and findings to date are discussed in this report. Many facilities were the subject of additional information requests to help determine the potential for significant issues. As presented herein, many of the requests are currently pending. Therefore, this report should be considered preliminary.

2 SITE SCREENING
The purpose of the site screening assessment is to: evaluate current and former environmental conditions at the Veolia facilities to identify potential environmental concerns, identify regulatory problems that could impact financial or compliance status of the sites, and perform a search of federal and state databases to evaluate the regulatory status of the site. Cornerstone ordered environmental database reports and reviewed the Veolia internal audits, environmental liability summaries, and violation history that were provided in the Merrill Datasite.
2.1 Veolia Environmental Liability Summaries and NOV Disclosures
A document, YES Solid Waste Environmental Liabilit /Summary - February 2012, was prepared by Veolia and placed in the Merrill Datasite. The known environmental liabilities were summarized and generated by Veolia Solid Waste’s internal Engineering and Compliance group. The purpose of the document, as stated by Veolia, is to provide a terse summary and reference document on the Company’s environmental liability issues for Buyers and their respective environmental consultants. The other facilities (i.e. Transfer Stations, Hauling Operations, MRFs, or property) liabilities identified by Veolia consist of properties or businesses that have had environmental impacts identified that would be considered as significant (greater than $50,000 of potential exposure) and require additional remedial work and resolution.
A table of Violation History was also prepared by Veolia and placed in the Merrill Datasite. Veolia states at the beginning of this table: In the ordinary course of business, Veolia Environmental Services (“Veolia”) (f/k/a Onyx Waste Services, Superior Services, Inc.) occasionally receives notice from authorities of minor operating improvements required at its various operating locations. Veolia has, in each case, promptly taken appropriate action. However, there were a number of Notice of Violations in the table that were not resolved and need further action. Compliance Issues listed in this table are from the period 2006 - 2011.
2.2 Dakota Audits
Veolia uses the Dakota database system to perform internal audits at its facilities. The Dakota system provides a questionnaire that is used during the audits process with a number of Yes, No, or Not Applicable responses and the ability for the auditor to add Comments and “Red Flag” the audited section for an action to be taken by a future prescribed date. The Veolia supplied Dakota documents that were provided in the Merrill Datasite were from 2011 and were not controlled audit documents. The Yes, No, or Not Applicable answers could be changed and the Comments edited and saved in each of

these documents. There also was no indication as to whether the Red Flag items had been addressed. Therefore, Cornerstone concentrated on the Comments and Red Flags as indications of an action needed at the site.
2.3 Environmental Database Report
Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) of Southport, Connecticut performed a search of available environmental database records for the facilities reviewed in this report and operated by Veolia. A complete copy of the database reports prepared for each Veolia facility as provided by EDR, including the date the report was prepared, the date the information was last updated, and the definition of databases searched, were reviewed. Cornerstone ordered the following EDR report types: EDR Summary Radius Map Report, The EDR Radius Map Report with GeoCheck, The EDR City Directory Image Report, The EDR Aerial Photo Decade Package, Certified Sanborn Map Report, and EDR Historical Topographic Map Report.
Cornerstone reviews the results of the database search reports to note findings for the facility address and reported release sites in the vicinity of the property that were considered to have a potential to have adversely impacted the property. Reported release sites identified in the regulatory agency database search report were evaluated with respect to the nature and extent of a given release, the distance of the reported release site from the property, the stratigraphy of soils, the expected soil permeability, and the topographic position of a reported release site with respect to known or expected local and/or regional groundwater flow direction. Generally, reported release sites located within 1/4-mile upgradient or 1/8-mile cross-gradient or adjacent down gradient are considered to have a potential to have impacted the property. Sites that were listed in the database search report, but not identified as a release site, and sites that were listed as being “closed” were not considered to have a potential to have impacted the property.

3 SCREENING RESULTS
The screening results for the various sources reviewed (i.e. environmental summaries, and violation history, Dakota audits, and environmental database reports) are presented by site, sorted by the most problematic and highest liability to the least. Additional multiple findings are sorted alphabetically by state. The following environmental findings have been identified from a number of sources as representing contamination and compliance concerns that appear to exceed a materiality threshold of $50,000.
3.1 Environmental Liability Summaries
Environmental liability was summarized in a document prepared by Veolia: YES Solid
Waste environmental Liability/Summary – February 2012. There are two sites (Jersey City, NJ and Groveland, FL) that were not landfills that were presented as having outstanding environmental liability.
3.1.1 Jersey City Transfer Station, 264 Broadway Ave., Jersey City, NJ
The following known environmental liabilities were identified for the 264 Broadway Avenue, Jersey City, NJ transfer station. Veolia acquired the stock of Eastern Waste Services, Inc. in 1999, under which the shareholders of Eastern Waste were responsible for remediating contamination associated with three diesel USTs at the property. Under the SPA, Veolia held back $500,000 of the purchase price to be released back to the shareholders upon completion of remedial activities. Currently, free product is still present in soil and groundwater at the site, as prior efforts by the shareholders to remediate the site under the supervision of the NJDEP were unsuccessful. Veolia has taken control of the investigation and remediation due to the lack of action by the shareholders. Veolia expects remediation will take less than 5 years, with 2 years of groundwater monitoring. Veolia will use $500,000 held back under the 1999 purchase agreement, plus $100,000 in accrued interest, to pay for the remediation.
An ongoing dispute exists between Veolia and the Eastern Waste shareholders regarding the remediation at the site. The shareholders allege that Veolia knowingly caused the free product to leak from ASTs and concealed it from shareholders. The shareholders demand remittance of the holdback amount from Veolia. Veolia denies that it released any hazardous substances or petroleum products at the property. Veolia has asserted that the shareholders are in breach of their obligation to remediate the property. Veolia continues to hold the shareholders of Eastern Waste responsible for the cost of the remediation.

On December 19, 2007 NJ DEP issued a NOV, alleging that Veolia had modified its solid waste transfer station without first obtaining a preconstruction permit and operated its solid waste transfer station without first obtaining an operating certificate. Veolia obtained approval for its solid waste transfer station permit on October 14, 2011, and Veolia and NJDEP entered into a settlement agreement in January 2012 resolving the violation. A copy of this settlement agreement has been requested and needs to be acquired and reviewed.
3.1.1.1 ISRA Applicability
The facility is variously referred to as a transfer station or a transfer station/materials recovery facility. Transfer stations are covered under NAICS code 562111, and this NAICS code is not subject to ISRA. Likewise, a materials recovery facility (MRF) is covered under NAICS code 562920 and this NAICS code is not subject to ISRA.
3.1.1.2 Environmental Conditions
In general the data indicate flow in a southwesterly direction toward Broadway Avenue. The nearest natural groundwater discharge point is nearly due west at the Hackensack River, not to the southwest. A storm water sewer exists on Broadway Avenue that appears to the at an elevation of 1 [Illegible] lower than the groundwater table. Most likely the groundwater flow direction is affected by local discharge to the sewer system, assuming the sewer system is typical of the area and has not been previously rehabilitated (e.g., slip lined).
Free product was observed in monitoring wells MW-4 and MW-5 (February 2012) located at the southern property boundary, among other interior to the site. These wells are down-gradient of the former No. 2 diesel fuel underground storage tanks. Data available from 2001 to 2009 for MW-4 and 2005 to 2009 for MW-5 had not previously indicated free product in these wells. Veolia’s prior contention that free product was mobilized through the Bio-Solve® injections appears to have some validity. The presence of free product at the property line indicates the likelihood of off-site groundwater impacts.
Groundwater characterization testing at the site has been generally limited to TPH and volatile organic compounds. However, the product at the site is a weathered diesel fuel, and therefore, semi-volatile compounds are much more likely to be prevalent than volatiles. There is a reasonable likelihood that testing of groundwater at the property line for semi-volatile compounds would indicate concentrations of contaminants above New Jersey groundwater quality standards.
Free product having entered the storm sewer is also a possibility.

The available data indicate that the site contains historic fill. Limited information on the overburden description is indicative of historic fill (e.g., sand, ash, miscellaneous debris such as bottles and bricks – see UST Closure and Remedial Investigation Report). The presence of historic fill is also suggested by the NJDEP’s comments regarding the presence of metals at concentrations above soil cleanup standards (typical of historic fill).
3.1.1.3 Environmental Liability/Summary and Costs
The environmental liability/summary document states the following:
Veolia held back approximately $500,000 when the facility was purchased in 1999. This money has also accrued significant interest.… The plan is to use this money to conduct the investigation and remedial action. … the site will continue to be monitored to verify that residual contaminants are remediating naturally. There will likely be a deed restriction for residual soil contamination and a contamination exclusion are [sic] (CEA) related to groundwater. We anticipate that the current approach will take less than 5 years to complete and involve about 2 years of groundwater monitoring after remedial action.
A January 9, 2012 letter from Randi Schillinger to Harvey Poe indicates that Veolia’s consultants have estimated the remediation cost between $604,000 and $633,000. The basis for this cost estimate is not present in the available documents. This letter also indicates that $450,000 is the remaining holdback amount.
The time frame for 5 years to completion of remediation appears to be reasonable, based on the conditions at the site, and the extent of the remediation. This is particularly true given that remediation would be under the direction of an LSRP and subject to the SRRA wherein review and oversight by the NJDEP is not necessary. However, there are a number of complicating factors that could make the cost of investigation and remediation at this site more than the approximately $600,000 indicated:
1. Free product and groundwater contamination delineation does not appear to be complete at the southern property boundary. Delineation is required for soil, groundwater and product, “without regard to property boundaries” for product delineation. Delineation is required horizontally and vertically.
2. NJ requires free product treatment, removal, or containment. This could involve either some form of in-situ treatment (likely multiple doses) or a

combination of treatment, removal, and/or containment. Some form of active containment (e.g., groundwater pump and treat), if needed, could be a significant contributor to increased cost. While pump and treat would not be preferable, it is not clear at this time how much of an impediment the building would be to some form of permanent remediation. Of note, natural remediation cannot be supported without having first dealt with source material and product is clearly considered source material.
3. Once delineated, but based on current evidence of contamination at the property boundary, it is possible that some remediation may be necessary off-site (e.g., sewer cleaning, product removal).
4. An LSRP would also be obligated to address the historic fill, assuming the inference of historic fill as noted above is corroborated by data. This would likely involve only a limited investigation but would require a deed notice, soil remediation permit, and CEA of indeterminate duration. Also, depending on concentrations of historic fill contaminants, a “cap” may be necessary, and it appears for this site that the existing pavement and buildings may suffice, but would require a long-term commitment to maintenance.
3.1.2 Groveland Transfer Station, Groveland, FL
The following known environmental liabilities were identified for the Groveland, FL transfer station. This hauling operation and transfer station facility is no longer owned by Veolia; however, Veolia maintains responsibility for some environmental investigations and conditions at the facility and has set aside $525,000 to investigate and address these issues. Three areas of concern have been identified: (1) a small area along a fence with staining due to a release by the adjacent property owner, Industrial Sterilization Laboratories (ISL); (2) a larger portion of the property that has been affected by another adjacent property owner, Howard Fertilizer; and (3) a small area around the fueling tank/truck wash bay that may have been impacted by releases that occurred while Veolia owned the property. Veolia indicated that to date, it has spent $43,000 to address these three areas of concern. Veolia has stated that they are not responsible for off-site contamination sources.
The FDEP issued a comfort letter on April 7, 2011 indicating the agency believes the conditions at the property are related to the operations of Howard Fertilizer. Veolia believes the current facility owner, Waste Services, Inc., will accept the comfort letter as an indication that Veolia is not responsible for the conditions related to releases from the Howard Fertilizer property and that Veolia is not liable for remediating those conditions.

Veolia indicated ISL removed the stained soil along the fence, and soil and groundwater sampling have indicated the removal sufficiently addressed the former release. Veolia does not believe any further action will be required with regard to the impact from the ISL release.
Veolia has investigated the conditions in the area of the fueling tank/truck wash bay, and there are low level TPH and benzene impacts to soil and groundwater that need to be addressed. The estimated cost of this remediation will be less than $80,000. Two years of groundwater monitoring will also be required. Veolia expects that the funds set aside for this work will be sufficient to close out all outstanding issues and this seems like a reasonable assumption based on the documentation reviewed.
3.1.3 2616 Waymanville Road, Thomaston, GA
According to an August 14, 2007 due diligence report, wash water from the washing of trucks is directed to an oil/water separator and is allowed to [ILLEGIBLE] the subsurface, which violates the NPDES permit and may have impacted the subsurface. There is no leachate collection system for the tipping floor or the truck pit. In addition to being a transfer station, an old inert landfill is also located on the property, which was subject to an illegal dumping enforcement action in 1993 that was settled in [ILLEGIBLE]. The August 14, 2007 report recommended conducting a site investigation for the old inert landfill to determine whether any contamination exists. Stained soil was observed outdoors around petroleum ASTs. Updated information has been requested, but is pending at this time.
3.1.4 6330 Rte. 219 North, Brockway, PA
The PADEP issued a NOV on October 26, 2009 for alleged medical/infectious waste holding time violations. The violation is still pending, and a financial settlement has not yet been proposed. This site has a long history of frequent violations from the PADEP, most of which have been under $5,000. The last NOV we are aware of was issued on June 7, 2011 and resulted in two $1,500 fines, which Veolia has paid. One notable NOV was issued by PADEP on May 10, 2007 following a vehicle inspection on April 11, 2007 during which vehicle authorization stickers and permit documentation were not properly applied. Veolia paid a $160,278 fine and took corrective action, thereby resolving the violation. The current status of these items and the documentation of their resolution has been requested but is pending at this time.
The Veolia internal audits for this hauling facility and MRF reported the need for fire suppression, heat sensors, or approval for fire extinguishers. There is also a floor drain in the building connected to septic, with medical waste storage draining to a ditch Updates to “RF” flagged items in the audits has been requested, but is pending at this time.

3.1.5 County of Morris, NJ
The Violation History document identified several NOVs issued to Veolia ES Solid Waste Southeast, Inc. by the County of Morris Office of Health Management, but the document did not identify the transfer station at which the violations arose (possible site address: 1 Eden Lane, Flanders, NJ). None of the Veolia NJ properties are in Morris County, so it is unclear to which transfer station these violations were issued. This property has a long history of non-compliance problems and is frequently inspected by the County of Morris Office of Health Management. The following is a summary of the open NOVs issued to Veolia ES Solid Waste Southeast Inc. by Morris County Office of Health Management:
On November 1, 2011, a NOV was issued for a container that needs repair to prevent spillage. The violation is still open, and Veolia anticipates a fine of $3,000 will be issued.
On September 16, 2011, a NOV was issued after litter released from a Veolia truck onto a roadway was observed. The violation is still open, and Veolia anticipates a fine of $4,500 will be issued.
The ECHO database search results also returned several resolve[ILLEGIBLE] TSCA violations between 2005 and 2010, two of which resulted in penalties over $20,000.
Updated information for the Morris County violations has been requested but is pending at this time.
3.1.6 750 Dunbar Road, Bryon, GA
Wastewater from the cleaning of vehicles is discharged through an oil/water separator to a leach field with the potential for impact to the subsurface. There is an on-site sanitary septic system that may not be properly permitted with the possibility of hazardous or petroleum products being discharged into the septic system. A leachate collection system needs to be installed in the loading bay area. Stained soils were observed in the area of petroleum ASTs on the property.
3.1.7 1711 Lyons St., Evanston, IL
According to a 2000 Phase I ESA: (1) three historic USTs may have been abandoned in place at the property; (2) the property was historically used as a coal and building material storage yard from the 1920s until 1955; (3) a LUST incident occurred at the property in 1993, and IEPA issued a NFR letter on December 2, 1994; and (4) 900 sq. ft. of stained areas were observed. A 2000 Phase II ESA was provided, but no subsurface investigation was conducted; the report summarized correcting UST registration at the property with the appropriate authorities.
The EDR report listed the transfer station as potentially having groundwater contamination and groundwater restrictions.

4 SUMMARY
Cornerstone has prepared separately, Due Diligence Evaluations for the active landfill assets owned by Veolia. This report considers the non-landfill assets.
The findings from the screening review presented in this report identify facilities with known environmental liabilities and/or additional follow up work or expenditures that need to be completed to bring the facility into compliance. These include:
Jersey City, NJ Transfer Station
Former Groveland, FL Transfer Station
In addition, there are a number of sites that were identified in the screening process that will need further review to determine if the identified issue has been resolved satisfactorily (e.g. Dakota auditor findings and recommendations). Additional information requests have been made to obtain more information and these requests are pending as presented above.
In addition, some findings only report the potential for environmental liability (e.g. EDR listings of neighboring contaminated sites) that may or may not need further review. There are a number of open data requests and additional pending requests for the facilities identified in this section that should provide insight into the status of the various findings.
As additional information is provided or otherwise made available, Cornerstone will review that information to determine if any additional facilities appear to represent material environmental liabilities.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This Due Diligence Review for Veolia ES Solid Waste (Veolia) active landfills was prepared to assist Star Atlantic Waste Holdings, LP (Star Atlantic) with preparing their bid to purchase the stock of Veolia. As requested by Star Atlantic, Cornerstone Environmental Group, LLC (Cornerstone) in cooperation with Hodges, Harbin, Newberry & Tribble, Inc. (HHNT) reviewed the documentation provided by Veolia on the Merrill Datasite and anonymously accessed public records to evaluate these facilities, with a particular focus on the projected future capital costs associated with new cell construction, landfill closure and post-closure care. Cornerstone was unable to confirm whether the documentation provided by Veolia presented a comprehensive view of the subject facilities but the information appeared adequate for the intended purpose.
Although site visits, site manager interviews, and regulatory agency interviews were anticipated to be part of this evaluation, Veolia has not granted permission to do so at this time. In addition, this work has been subject to confidentiality agreements with both Star Atlantic and Veolia. Thus this evaluation was limited to review of data as described above.
The reviews of the active landfills of Veolia are included in four volumes grouped geographically as follows:
Wisconsin and Minnesota
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Missouri
Pennsylvania
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and the Bahamas
Each landfill is presented as a separate section of the respective report. In addition, each landfill has an appendix containing a general site illustration identifying key site features and a summary table summarizing Veolia’s construction projections from 2011 and 2012 along with Cornerstone’s recommendations for anticipated costs and timing of projects (which may or may not agree with those projected by Veolia).
Section 1.2 below presents key findings and issues for the landfills contained within this volume.

1.2 Key Findings and Issues
Consistently, the following cost, in place waste density or airspace (disposal capacity) issues were noted at most or all applicable sites:
The methodology Veolia used for calculating airspace volumes and waste disposal rates were numerically accurate. However, the presentation of the data on a single-year basis, in general, overstated the densities achieved by compactive efforts and tends to be misleading in the projected site life. The actual waste densities achieved in any year is a combination of field compactive efforts, waste degradation and settlement.
Costs appeared to be aggressive “best case’’ scenarios and the 5% contingency and administrative costs are low compared to industry standards. As such, costs for cell construction, closure, on-going or upcoming permitting, site infrastructure, and long-term closure costs were increased between 10-20% depending on site specific features or items specifically noted in the cost estimating spreadsheets. The recommended cost changes are noted for each site and in the Appendices.
Some of the sites reviewed [ILLEGIBLE] approved [ILLEGIBLE] 5% overfill that allows for the site operator to overfill individual sections with waste to account for future settlement. While this does allow for a small amount of additional tonnage to be gained, the current owner of the sites factors this into their permitted airspace, which is not generally accepted industry practice. As such, on the sites overfilling was allowed, the permitted airspace, airspace remaining and site life were overstated. Our recommendations for the actual volumes and site life are reflected in the individual sections and Appendices.
Airspace tables from Veolia and noted within the 2012 Airspace Memos frequently accounted for airspace that was not yet fully permitted or if expansions were noted in the future, were not noted as “Best Case” volumes. Because of this, we recommend that only permitted airspace be fully accounted for in any financial models and any expansions, especially those noted as not starting the permitting process be accounted for accordingly. In this region, the current owner is aggressive in the volume requested in the permitting stage and our experience in Wisconsin is that the actual permit may be 50-100% of the initially requested volume depending upon concerns of the regulatory agencies. Part of the reason is that Wisconsin state statutes limit site life to a maximum of 15 years and it is difficult to accurately project and predict large increases in waste intake rates to justify the size of expansions that are initially requested.

Emerald Park Landfill	Overstates potential volume (7 million CY) of future expansion based on existing site [ILLEGIBLE] state agency requirement of 15 year maximum site life).	Note in any financial models that any future expansion may not occur in foreseeable future.
Glacier Ridge Landfill	Expansion presented and with approved Feasibility Determination requires exhumation and relocation of waste from Superfund site. The anticipated volume (1.4 million CY) of relocated waste only accounts for 100,000 CY of contaminated soil which could be much higher volume than that. In addition, waste could be classified as hazardous and result in significantly higher waste disposal fees. This may also impact groundwater investigation or remediation in the future.	Make Star Atlantic aware that if the expansion continues to be permitted and the plan implemented, there may be large liability and cost implications both in the types of waste that may be exhumed and relocated and in soil contamination. Additionally, a PRP group is involved that complicates this issue further.

The monitored value has begun a steady increase over the last 5-6 years. Additionally, wells W-54R and W-61R are still seeing a PAL standard exceedence for Tetrachloroethene (PCE) even after a gradual decrease over time and a more recent stabilization of monitored values.

2 CRANBERRY CREEK LANDFILL
2.1 General Site Description
The Cranberry Creek Landfill (facility) is an active municipal solid waste landfill located at 2510 Engel Road, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin 54495. The landfill footprint is 85.6 acres and is located on 1,416 acres of property. Two closed landfills are also present on the property, the Tork Landfill and the Alum Site. At these closed sites, the WDNR has only required on-going groundwater monitoring to date with no further remedial action required.
The facility accepts municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition (C&D) waste, special waste and contaminated soil. The site has a permitted airspace capacity according to WDNR records of 9,735,500 cubic yards ([ILLEGIBLE], though Veolia has stated they’ve been approved for a 5% overfill that can capture additional waste tonnage due to settlement that will lower the airspace to the approved volume because of this, they’ve stated that the airspace with the overfill is 10,238,500 CY. This number is misrepresented and should not be used when evaluating the airspace volume of the site, instead using the approved capacity of 9, 735,500 CY. Based on this, all the site life calculations and airspace remaining volumes are overstated by 503,000 CY.
The historic waste intake rates over the last four years averaged 281,310 tons with a high of 321,622 tons in 2008 and a low of 243,093 tons in 2011. Based on May 2012 data provided by Veolia, the remaining airspace as of March 13, 2012 is 4,650,700 CY, which presumably utilized the overfill grades, though this could not be verified utilizing the survey and other information provided. This subsequently adjusts to an actual remaining airspace of 4,147,700 at the end of the current year. Filling rates are anticipated to remain at approximately 900 tons per day (TPD), or 257,400 tons per year. Based on life-of-landfill projected densities of 1,800 lbs/CY, the remaining permitted site life is 13.9 years from March 2012 survey date.
There are no outstanding expansion plans that have been submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). Future expansions may be limited by surrounding wetlands.

2.3.2 Facility Operating Permit
The current facility operating permit was issued on January 29, 1998, and the expansion was approved on March 6, 2003. This permit is renewed annually. Additionally, two additional WDNR site licenses are pertinent to this site as listed in the above table. Licenses to solidify wastes and to treat contaminated soils have been issued. No record of these activities taking place on this facility were provided but were noted in the documents provided by Veolia.
The current permit includes accepting non-hazardous municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition (C&D) waste, and special waste. No hazardous waste is accepted at this facility. Liquid waste is disposed on-site as part of an organics stability plan and is approved under a Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) Plan. The site’s permit also allows receipt of PCB contaminated sediments excavated from State of Wisconsin approved sediment remediation projects, although none of those sediments have been delivered to the site to date according to information available at this time.

2.3.3 Pending / Future / Expansion
There are no planned expansions submitted to the WDNR. A conceptual north expansion preliminary engineering estimate has been provided in the 2012 airspace memo for an assumed 50 acre expansion that could provide 8,000,000 CY of airspace potential. If pursued, the expansion would be on property not yet owned. No evaluation of this expansion potential has been performed and should not be included in any airspace volumes associated with the site. Additionally, based on our knowledge of the site, wetlands may be an issue if the site decides to move forward with an expansion.
2.4 Area, Airspace, and Soil Balance
2.4.1 Area
The original permitted active landfill footprint incorporates is 86 acres of landfill area. The entire facility includes 1,416 acres of land.
2.4.2 Permitted Airspace
The approved permitted airspace for the Facility includes 2,[ILLEGIBLE]97,000 CY for the original landfill, and 7,138,000 CY for the approved expansion. Total permitted airspace is 9,735,500 CY. Based on information provided, Veolia reports that there is an approved 5% overfill that they have included in their total approved airspace volume and they are using an internal airspace volume of 10,238,500 CY to account for that. No WDNR documents were provided that depicted an approved 5% overfill, nor do feel this volume be used for determining airspace remaining or site life. Assuming the overfill has been approved by the WDNR, this allows the site owner to utilize that temporary additional airspace for waste tonnage with the assumption that the waste material will settle to the permitted airspace (9.7 million CY) shortly after waste placement. If it doesn’t, or settlement leaves areas above the permitted grades, the owner is required to relocate the waste prior to site closure.
2.4.3 Remaining Permitted / Constructed Airspace
The 2012 annual airspace calculations report indicates that the total permitted airspace is 10,238,500 CY, which includes the 5% overfill discussed in Section 2.4.2 above. On the survey date of March 13, 2012, the remaining airspace was listed as 4,473,577 CY which, based on the information provided and Veolia’s interpretation that uses the overfill as airspace, is actually overstated by 503,000 CY. The actual remaining airspace should be assumed to be 3,970,577 CY.
The remaining constructed airspace includes 331,077 CY of constructed airspace, and 1,250,000 CY of airspace being constructed in 2012.

Project 120347.003
2.4.4 Remaining Site Life
The 2012 annual airspace calculations report a remaining site life of 15.6 years (from March 2012 survey date), which is based upon a predicted waste acceptance rate of 900 tons per day, 286 filling days per year, and a projected waste density of 1,800 pounds per CY and permitted airspace that accounts for the 5% overfill. Adjusting out the overfill volume leaves 13.9 years of remaining airspace for the site from the March 2012 survey date.
The actual calculated in-place density for waste placed during 2011 was 2,600 pounds per CY. Actual waste acceptance rate was 804 tons per day. The elevated in-place density was explained by several factors including significant waste settlement in the filling area, the addition of a new compactor, and leachate recirculation. Going forward, the 1,800 pounds per CY is a reasonable projection of in-place density.
2.4.5 Soil Balance
Liner quality clay soils are stockpiled at the facility and additional clay soils are available at the approved Reber Site borrow area in [ILLEGIBLE} County located an estimated 20 miles from the landfill. A geocomposite clay liner (GCL) has been approved as an alternative and incorporated into the final cover design. This Alternate Cover is planned on being installed in Phases 2 through 5. Off-site industrial waste is available for the lower barrier layer and on-site soils are available for the upper barrier layer.
2.4.6 Baseliner System
The permitted baseliner system for the facility includes (from top to bottom):
12-inch Granular Drainage Layer
16 oz. Geotextile
60-mil HDPE Geomembrane (textured on 3H:1V slopes)
48-inch Compacted Clay Liner
2.4.7 Final Cover System
The permitted final cover system for the facility includes (from top to bottom):
6-inch Topsoil Layer
18-inch Rooting Zone
12-inch Drainage Layer
40-mil Textured LLDPE Geomembrane

2.5 Gas System / Gas to Energy
The facility has installed a gas collection and control system within closed landfill Phases. In addition, a gas collection system is installed in the closed Tork landfill and the collected gas is mixed with the VCCL LFG. The collection systems are connected to one flare/blower station. In 2010, combined LFG volume varied between 1,104 SCFM and 1,833 SCFM. A maximum of 2,000 SCFM of combined gas is planned for at the facility. VCCL has 18 operating gas wells and 12 horizontal gas extraction trenches. There are minimal include one planned improvements to the existing [ILLEGIBLE] system in 2012. These include one additional [ILLEGIBLE] and [ILLEGIBLE] feet of piping.
In May of 2005, Onyx Cranberry Creek Landfill, LLC entered into a contract to sell LFG to Ocean Spray Cranberry, Inc. A 10 year LFG Purchase Agreement is in place with automatic 1 year renewals thereafter. After the first 10 years, either party can cancel the contract with a 180 day notification to the other party. The Ocean Spray facility will utilize approximately 50% of the LFG currently collected at VCCL. Ocean Spray recently completed an expansion and the purchased LFG quantity may increase. The remaining gas will continue to be flared on site.
2.6 Environmental Monitoring
The facility utilizes the Dakota Auditor Software to manage the facility’s environmental compliance program. Based on the 2012 report by Golder, four red flags were identified in 2011 and two of those have been rectified as of October, 2011. No data on unrectified red flags was presented.
2.6.1 Hydrogeology and Groundwater
2.6.1.1 Groundwater
Groundwater flow at the site is generally to the south-southeast. The groundwater monitoring network at the facility consists of 32 monitoring wells, which are sampled semiannually by Environmental Sampling Corporation. Analytical testing of the samples is performed by Siemens Water Technology Corporation. The April, 2011 groundwater monitoring summary indicated limited exceedances of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, NR 140 groundwater parameters. The NR 140 well specific standard exceedances

are primarily related to the change in groundwater elevation as a result of the VCCL gradient control system, natural conditions, or are the result of near surface infiltration of runoff from final cover soils. One VOC exceedance of vinyl chloride concentration in a gradient control well was reported and will be reevaluated in the next sampling round. No other VOC’s were reported of concern.
The Tork and Alum Landfills are closed landfills located on the subject property. Groundwater contamination exceeding the State standards is located at select locations around the closed landfills. A gradient control system is in place around the Tork Landfill to limit groundwater contamination. The documented groundwater contamination from the closed Tork and Alum Landfills is contained and not migrating onto adjacent properties.
2.6.2 Landfill Gas Probes
The facility has six perimeter gas monitoring probes which have not had any exceedances. The gas monitoring probes are monitored quarterly.
2.6.3 Surface Water
The facility has four gradient control underdrain system discharges that the facility maintains a Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System, (WPDES) for. WPDES permit No. WI-0049344-2 was issued on October 18, 2002. The only past reported exceedances of monitored parameters have been related to elevated total suspended solids (TSS) levels. The elevated levels were related to abnormally high rainfall events. No issues have been identified that would preclude the permit from being renewed.
Analytical data available from 2011 sampling indicate that there were no exceedances of surface water parameters.
2.6.4 Leachate
Leachate is pumped directly to the City of Wisconsin Rapids Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) sanitary sewer. In 2010, a total of 3,955,200 gallons of leachate were extracted, and 1,727,000 of that total were recirculated. The site also imports liquids for recirculation and that accounted for 207,500 gallons of the total recirculated amount. Costs for leachate treatment is estimated at $0.035 per gallon.
Leachate headwells are monitored quarterly. For headwells in cells constructed after July 1, 1996, leachate heads must be maintained at 12” or less and the reported data indicated that the site complies. Cells constructed prior to July 1, 1996, are not subject to the 12’’ or less requirement, and monitoring indicated that average leachate head was less than 12” in those areas.

Wastewater discharges from the facility (leachate) are combined with leachate from the closed Tork Landfill. The combined leachate volume and analytical sampling is reported monthly. Leachate recirculation was approved in October, 2008 for Phase 4 and 5.
2.6.5 Air and Landfill Gas
Veolia is permitted to operate Veolia ES Cranberry Creek Landfill (VCCL) under Air Pollution Control Operation Permit (Title V Permit) 772057330-P10. The Title V Permit allows Veolia to operate a pedestal flare, a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, and various insignificant sources. Cornerstone has reviewed the permit conditions of the Title V Permit and the Title V Permit contains the standard permit conditions for MSW landfills.
VCCL is a major source under part 70 since it has the potential to emit at least 100 tons per year for carbon monoxide; therefore required to have a Title V Permit. The facility is a minor source with regards to New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Detection since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 250 tons per year. VCCL is subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) since the design capacity is greater than 2.5 million [ILLEGIBLE] to have a gas collection and control system installed because [ILLEGIBLE] (NMOCs) emissions are less than 50 megagrams per year.
The Title V Permit requires Veolia to monitor the operations from the emission units. These requirements include monthly monitoring of the gas collection system, continuous monitoring of landfill gas flow to the pedestal flare, and annual monitoring of surface emissions. Cornerstone reviewed the 2011 Annual and Semi-Annual Reports and these reports indicate the facility has been operated and monitored in accordance with the permit conditions in the Title V Permit with two exceptions. Veolia was noncompliant with permit condition I.A.l.b.(3) by disconnecting several horizontal gas wells in a closed area with waste that is two (2) years or more old. Also, Veolia was intermittently compliant with permit conditions I.A.l.c.(2)(e), (f), and (g) by not monitoring one well for a period of time required to extend the well.
2.7 Compliance History
Based upon Cornerstone’s review, the WDNR has not issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to VCCL. Compliance was also confirmed by audits that the WDNR completed in 2010 and 2011. Letters from the WDNR state VCCL was in full compliance with the permit conditions of the Title V Permit.

expenditures for the landfill (Summary Comparison of 2011 and 2012 Airspace Memos). In addition to providing a summary of Veolia’s most recent projections, our recommendations for predicted expenditures are included. Overall, we found Veolia’s approach to predicting the timing of cell construction and capping projects and their approach for building cost estimates for those projects to be sound. In most cases, we believe the cost estimates are too aggressive to be considered reliable and in these cases we have recommended alternative costs for modeling purposes.
The costs built into their model reflect most major items of construction. The administration and contingency of 5% built into the model are intended cover miscellaneous expenses or changes to the construction. It is our opinion that these numbers are generally “best case” scenario, and do not encompass typical cost overruns, changes in fuel or material prices, and general change orders that would be expected in most construction projects. Additionally, things like consulting assistance, permitting, and miscellaneous “soft costs” are not called out within these models. In view of this, and as shown in the Appendix A summary, it is recommended that cost expectations for liner and cover construction should be increased by 10% over the construction costs provided by Veolia.
2.8.1.1 Cell Development
Based on the 2012 Annual Airspace Summary memo, new phase construction is scheduled to occur in as follows:
2017: Cell 5A West, 7.8 acres
2022/2024: Cell 5B, 9.9 acres
2.8.1.2 Closure
A minimum of four phases (5, 6, 7 and 8) of the facility remain to be closed after 2012. These are proposed as:
2018: Phase 5, 14.9 acres
2022: Phase 5, 14.1 acres
2028: Phase 7 and 8, 26.6 acres
2.8.1.3 Other Capital Expenditures
In the 2012 airspace memo, the facility has estimated the cost other capital expenditures at approximately $125,000 for temporary roads and landscaping. Without any details on what this entails, no changes will be made to this number.
2.8.1.4 Post-Closure
The post-closure period for the facility is 40 years and the total post-closure monitoring costs have been estimated at $5.877 million, or $146,920 per year. While the methodology is acceptable for state agency approval and bonding purposes, things like

snow plowing, general consulting, permitting and administrative costs appear underrepresented. We believe a 15% additional contingency factor on post-closure costs estimated by Veolia is appropriate. There is potential for post-closure care to some degree in perpetuity and likely some financial obligation contained therein. To what degree is unknown at this time but should be considered as part of the long-term cost factors. If the expansion is permitted, long-term care costs will be increased as well.

3 EMERALD PARK LANDFILL
3.1 General Site Description
The Emerald Park Landfill (facility) is an active municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill located in Muskego, Wisconsin serving an area with a population of approximately 2.6 million along with several other private landfills in the greater Milwaukee area. The existing landfill is operated under a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Solid Waste Permit #3290. The facility was originally acquired and permitted in November 1994 by Superior. Superior has since changed their named to Onyx and eventually, Veolia. The physical address of the facility is:
10629 South 124th Street
Muskego, WI 53150.
With the recently approved Southwest Expansion (2011), the total licensed disposal area is currently 121.6 acres (82.9 existing acres plus the expansion of 38.7 acres). The permitted landfill area sits on approximately 630 acres of land owned by Veolia. After WDNR approval of the 2011 Plan of Operation for the Southwest Expansion, the permitted airspace of the landfill increased from 13,191,360 CY to 21,137,160 CY. The site accepts municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition waste, non-hazardous industrial special waste, and contaminated soil and has approximately 10,915,500 CY of airspace remaining as of March 18, 2012.
The annual waste intake at Emerald Park Landfill ranged from a low of 418,217 tons in 2009 to a high of 850,144 tons in 2004.

Permit allows Veolia to operate a pedestal flare, a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, and various insignificant sources. Cornerstone has reviewed the permit conditions of the Title V Permit and the Title V Permit contains the standard permit conditions for MSW landfills.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) issued Veolia an Air Pollution Control Construction Permit (Construction Permit) 12-RSG-053 on May 22, 2012. The Construction Permit allows Veolia to install a new enclosed flare and an ethylene glycol dehydration system at VSEPL.
VSEPL is a major source under part 70 since it has the potential to emit at least 100 tons per year of carbon monoxide; therefore is required to have a Title V Permit. The facility is a minor source with regards to New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Detection since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 250 tons per year. VSEPL is subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) since the design capacity is greater than 2.5 million megagrams, is required to install and operate a gas collection and control system (GCCS), installed because the NMOC emissions are greater than 50 megagrams per year.
3.3.2 Facility Operating [ILLEGIBLE]
The current facility operating permit was issued on 10/1/2011 and will expire on 09/30/2012. No information on the renewal of the permit was provided.
The current permit addresses four permitted activities including composting, residential landfill, waste solidification, and contaminated soil treatment. All permits will expire on September 30, 2012. According to a WDNR letter dated 6/17/2011, the Food Material Compost Pilot project was extended for up to a year under License No. 4114.
3.3.3 Pending / Future / Expansion
Title V Permit 268244130-P11 expires on March 14, 2015. Wisconsin regulations require a renewal application be submitted at least six (6) months but no more than 18 months prior to the expiration date. Therefore, a renewal application is due by no later than September 24, 2014.
The Construction Permit gives Veolia 18 months from the issuance date, May 22, 2012, to install the enclosed flare and ethylene glycol dehydration system and to perform the required compliance tests. After this period, the Title V Permit should be revised to incorporate the permit conditions cited in the Construction Permit.
The site originally tried to permit a much larger airspace than what was approved in the 2011 Plan of Operation, and WDNR did not approve 7.0 million CY of additional space requested by the current owner. There did not appear to be major flaws in the expansion

request itself; however, the WDNR had just approved the Plan of Operation for a 7.9 million CY expansion at the site. In the 2012 Airspace memo, Veolia noted that this airspace would be captured in a future expansion request. The need for an additional 7.0 million CY would have to be justified in order to be approved at a later time. Additionally, the State of Wisconsin statutes limit landfill permits for new facilities and expansions to a maximum of 15 years of site life. At current fill rates according to Veolia documents, Emerald Park Landfill permitted area already has 26.7 years of remaining capacity. While this site life could change if other nearby facilities close or waste volumes increase due to other factors, it appears that this expansion will need to be resubmitted at a future date and should not be factored or considered into any airspace calculations except as a potential option in the future.
3.4 Airspace and Soil Balance
3.4.1 Area
The facility property consists of 492.5 acres, of which 119.7 acres is listed as the permitted facility according to the facility’s [ILLEGIBLE] Solid Waste Permit (#3290), issued by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
3.4.2 Permitted Airspace
The permitted airspace for the facility includes 13,191,360 CY for the existing landfill, and 7,945,800 CY for the recently approved Southwestern Expansion. Total permitted airspace is 21,137,160 CY. This is consistent between the 2011 Southwestern Expansion Plan of Operation report and 2012 Landfill Profile Sheet compiled by Golder Associates.
3.4.3 Remaining Permitted / Constructed Airspace
As of March 18, 2012, the permitted airspace remaining amounts to 10,915,500 CY. The remaining constructed air space as of March 18, 2012 is 610,000 CY. Of the remaining permitted airspace, 9,614,000 CY have yet to be constructed between cell 7NB, 7S, 7W, and 8. Construction for the remaining cells is planned for completion between 2013 and 2024.
3.4.4 Remaining Site Life
The 2012 annual airspace calculations report a remaining site life of 26.7 years, which is based upon a predicted waste acceptance rate of 1644 tons per day, 286 filling days per year, and a projected waste density of 2,300 lb/CY (PCY). Based on site densities from the annual surveys of 2,248 PCY, the projected density seems reasonable but does not take into account the potential closure of other landfills in the area. At current fill rates Emerald Park Landfill has 26.7 years of capacity; however, this could change if other nearby facilities close or waste volumes increase due to other factors.

Rev, 0, 6/25/12 Project 120347.003
Golder Associates considered a projected filling rate of 1700 tons/day (TPD) higher than the Veolia estimate, a waste density of 2,300 PCY, and 10,965,773 CY remaining volume as of January 2012. Using these values, Golder determined the site life to be 23.7 years less than that given by the 2012 Veolia Annual Airspace memo. The site life is important for expansion permitting in that state statutes do not allow the WDNR to permit facilities with an expected life of more than 15 years based on projected filling rates.
3.4.5 Soil Balance
Historical information indicates that the on-site soil is suitable to be used as clay liner and final cover material and the volume of available soil for these purposes is well in excess of volumes needed. Soil excavated for the development of cells has been stockpiled onsite for use in future capping projects, and has been hauled off site for other uses. Sand costs used to estimate construction capital provided by Veolia are comparatively high, most likely due to scarcity of this resource near the site. Costs are appropriately accounted for in the estimating tables.
No soil information was provided outside of the stockpiling plan for the Southwestern expansion Plan of [ILLEGIBLE] this report and previous experience in this area of Wisconsin, excess soil from cell construction excavation may need to be dealt with.
Emerald Park Landfill utilizes contaminated soils (both direct and bioremediated), auto shredder fluff, concrete debris, foundry sands, wastewater treatment sludges, and other alternative daily cover (ADC) material as Beneficial Reuse Material (BRMs). These BRMs are also used for long term road subbase material, waste and waste core screening berm material, and slope reclamation materials.
3.5 Liner and Cover System

3.6 Gas System / Gas to Energy
Emerald Park Landfill is served by an active landfill gas (LFG) collection system consisting of headers, laterals, vertical extraction wells, leachate cleanouts, horizontal collectors, and leachate recirculation lines. The site currently has approximately 45 vertical extraction wells with several other supplemental gas collectors that collected an average of 1650 SCFM of landfill gas in 2011. According to the 2011 Southwestern Expansion Plan of Operation report, the gas extraction system will be expanded to include 112 gas extraction wells. The site has been limited in its landfill gas collection by an undersized blower that is operating at maximum capacity.
Recently, construction was completed in a 17-mile pipeline to route landfill gas to Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewarage District (MMSD) Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility from Emerald Park LFG for [ILLEGIBLE] landfill gas conditioning/ compression station located on the Emerald Park site is currently being constructed to process 100% of the landfill gas recovered from Emerald Park Landfill for electrical generation at Jones Island. The MMSD is the owner of the 17-mile pipeline and is responsible for the construction and operations of the pipeline. This project is operated under a 20-year agreement entered into by Veolia ES and the MMSD. The design, construction, and operation of this transmission pipeline are being regulated by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission in accordance with State and Federal regulations.
3. 7 Environmental Monitoring
3.7.1 Hydrogeology and Groundwater
3.7.1.1 Groundwater
According to the January 2009 Feasibility Study, exemptions were requested regarding wetland impact and proximity to rivers and streams. Veolia proposed that while the expansion footprint would affect five wetlands, higher quality wetlands would be developed and preserved on Veolia’s property adjacent to the expansion as part of a wetland bank.
The site has an exemption for the requirement of 10-foot of separation from the seasonal high water table to the bottom of the clay component of a composite liner. In place of the 10-foot separation requirement, the site has a gradient control system to intercept groundwater before it contacts the composite liner. The groundwater will then be pumped

through a sideslope rise to the outside perimeter of the landfill where it can discharge into the surrounding wetlands.
There are approximately 41 groundwater monitoring wells and piezometers associated with the landfill facility that are monitored on a semi-annual frequency (April and October) in accordance with the Southwestern Expansion Plan of Operation dated January 2011. In addition, up to 35 off-site private wells are monitored by a local agreement on an annual basis. In 2011, only 13 private wells were monitored and no results exceeded any drinking water standards.
Groundwater quality data are evaluated in accordance with NR 140 (State Groundwater Quality Standards) and NR 500 (General Solid Waste Management Requirements). The data were compared with Preventative Action Limits (PALs), Enforcement Standards (ESs), and Alternative Concentration Limits (ACLs), where applicable. Groundwater quality parameters include chloride, sulfate, hardness, alkalinity, cadmium, lead, selenium, fluoride, sodium and VOCs. Field parameters including pH, groundwater elevation, specific conductivity and temperature are also tested.
Based on the 3rd Quarter 2011 Environmental Monitoring Submittal (ESC, October 2011), sodium, [ILLEGIBLE], chloride sulfate, and hardness all exceeded their PAL during the September 2011 sampling round. It is possible, however, that this may be a result of spatial and temporal fluctuations in groundwater quality and not related to landfill operations. ACL exceedances for sulfate were recorded and attributed to naturally occurring sulfate in the groundwater.
3.7.2 Landfill Gas Probes
Based on the 2011 Environmental Monitoring report, twelve perimeter gas monitoring probes were measured at the facility. The 2011 monitoring results were referenced in the Semi-Annual Monitoring Reports. Those results were not included in the information provided for review which was not included in the 2010 Annual Report. As exceedances of these probes were not noted in this report, it is assumed all gas probes were in compliance and had no methane exceedances.
The Southwestern Expansion Plan of Operation report Environmental Monitoring and Long Term Care Sampling Plan shows 14 landfill gas probes. The source of the discrepancy between 12 and 14 landfill gas probes could not be determined.
3.7.3 Storm water
Based on the information provided, the facility is not required to sample any storm water outfalls. Additionally, no information regarding a current General Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) permit was provided.

The facility has twelve surface water sample points, including five sedimentation basins, which are monitored quarterly by Environmental Sampling Corporation. During 2010 and 2011, data was reported as consistent with historical data and there is no indication that the landfill has affected surface water quality. Surface water parameters analyzed include total suspended solids, COD, sodium, hardness, alkalinity, and potassium.
Drainage features at the landfill include channels, diversion berms, downslope discharge structures, culverts, and a sedimentation basin. According to the Southwest Expansion Plan of Operation report, there are six sedimentation basins onsite and/or planned for construction. Existing sedimentation basins will be modified to accommodate the increased service area.
3.7.5 Leachate
Wastewater discharges from the facility (leachate) are sampled quarterly and reported to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District (MMSD). MMSD has issued a Wastewater Discharge Permit 8.06 to [ILLEGIBLE] February 6, 2012 allowing them to discharge pretreated [ILLEGIBLE] 1.0) inside the monitoring shed. In order to comply with said permit, Emerald Park Landfill is required to test any discharge for a number of parameters listed on the permit including BOD, TSS, PCBs, ammonia, arsenic, copper, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, HEM, zinc, and flow. Flow and volume are measured monthly. According to the Periodic Compliance Reports, all samples from 2011 were below the permit-required values. The facility averaged 20,000 gallons per day with a maximum daily flow of 41,000 gallons per day during the 2011 calendar year.
From January 2011 through December 2011, 6,268,000 gallons of leachate were discharged through Outfall 1.0. The current leachate hauling and discharge fee is estimated at $0.01 /gallon.
3.7.6 Air and Landfill Gas
The Title V and Construction Permits require Veolia to monitor the operations from the emission units. These requirements include monthly monitoring of the gas collection system, continuous monitoring of landfill gas flow to the pedestal flare and to the landfill gas treatment system, and quarterly monitoring of surface emissions. Cornerstone reviewed the 2011 Annual and Semi-Annual Reports and these reports indicate the GCCS of VSEPL has been operated and monitored in accordance with the permit conditions in the Title V Permit with exception to an incident between July 2011 and January 2012 when one well was not monitored.

3.8 Compliance History
Cornerstone reviewed a list of Notice of Violations (NOV) landfills owned and operated in Wisconsin by Veolia. Based upon this review, the WDNR has not issued any NOVs to the Emerald Park Landfill. Additionally, the facility utilizes the Dakota Auditor Software to manage the facility’s environmental compliance program. Based on the 2012 report by Golder, 22 of the 24 red flags reported in 2011 have been rectified.
A Notice of Non-Compliance was issued on 7/17/09. The site inadvertently disturbed 0.21 acres of previously farmed wetland, which was discovered by the site during field delineation activities. The facility notified the WDNR. WDNR has approved the site’s restoration plan.
3.9 Capital Expenditures and Closure / Post Closure Costs
Included as Appendix B is a comparison of recent assessments prepared by Veolia which incorporate project site development closure and post-closure care costs and timing of those expenditures for the landfill (Summary Comparison of 2011 and 2012 Airspace Memos). In addition to providing a summary of Veolia’s most recent projections, our recommendations for predicted expenditures are included. Overall, we found Veolia’s approach to predicting the timing of cell construction and capping projects and their approach for building cost estimates for those projects to be sound. In most cases, we believe the cost estimates are too aggressive to be considered reliable and in these cases we have recommended alternative costs for modeling purposes.
The costs built into Veolia’s model reflect most major items of construction. The administration and contingency of 5% built into the model are intended cover miscellaneous expenses or changes to the construction. It is our opinion that these numbers are generally “best case” scenario, and do not encompass typical cost overruns, changes in fuel or material prices, and general change orders that would be expected in most construction projects. Additionally, funds for consulting assistance, permitting, and miscellaneous “soft costs’’ are not called out within these models. In view of this, and as shown in the Appendix B summary, it is recommended that cost expectations should be increased by at least 10% over the construction costs provided by Veolia.
3.9.1.1 New Cells and Closure Costs
Based on the 2012 Annual Airspace Summary memo, new phase construction is scheduled as follows:
2013, Cell 7NB, 5.2 acres
2017 and 2018, Cell 7S, 9 acres
2022, Cell 7W, 3.3 acres
2024, Cell 8, 21.4 acres

Project 120347.003
Based on this schedule and our experiences, the final cell may be split into two phases and subsequently two mobilizations would occur. These are reflected in the recommended cost in Appendix B in addition to the 10% added to better reflect pricing as noted above.
Closure is expected to be sequenced as follows:
2017, Area 4, 16.5 acres
2021, Area 5, 38.5 acres
2027, Area 6, 25.2 acres
Based on this schedule and our experience, it is likely that at least one of the phases (most likely Area 5) would be split into two construction phases thereby resulting in an increased mobilization fee which is reflected in the recommend cost in Appendix X in addition to the 10% additional added on as noted in the narrative in this section.
3.9.1.2 Other Capital Expenditures
Other capital expenditures expected to occur are road improvements 2013 and wetland mitigation in 2018. The numbers appear to be [ILLEGIBLE] budget estimates and no details are given. Due to the unknowns associated [ILLEGIBLE] items, we’re recommending a 15% budgetary adjustment.
3.9.1.3 Post-Closure
The post-closure period for the facility is 40 years and the total post-closure monitoring costs have been estimated at $10.4 million, which equates to approximately $261,080 per year. At the end of 40 years, the owners will still have obligations for care in perpetuity. While the methodology is acceptable for state agency approval and bonding purposes, things like snow plowing, general consulting, permitting and administrative costs appear underrepresented as do general gas system maintenance costs. We believe a 15% additional contingency factor on post-closure costs estimated by Veolia is appropriate. There is potential for post-closure care to some degree in perpetuity and likely some financial obligation contained therein. To what degree is unknown at this time but should be considered as part of the long-term cost factors. If the expansion is permitted, long-term care costs will be increased as well.

4 GLACIER RIDGE LANDFILL
4.1 General Site Description
The Veolia Glacier Ridge Landfill (facility or VGRL or Glacier Ridge) is an active municipal solid waste landfill located at N7296 Highway V, Horicon, WI. There are three landfill sites located at the facility: the active Glacier Ridge Landfill which is a Subtitle D Landfill; a closed MSW landfill; and the Land and Gas Reclamation Landfill (LGRL), which is a Superfund site. The LGRL facility was opened in 1959, closed in 1986. As part of a proposed future expansion of the Glacier Ridge Landfill, the waste material that resides in the LGRL will be excavated and relocated to the active lined landfill.
The site has a total permitted airspace at the active site of 15,127,600 cubic yards. Veolia report a permitted airspace of [ILLEGIBLE] cubic yards in the [ILLEGIBLE] Airspace Memo but this higher number is misrepresented as it is be airspace not yet approved and with the potential to never be [ILLEGIBLE] in this report from the LGRL site. The WDNR has approved the Feasibility Determination in an April 17, 2012 letter that provides for an additional 3,447,600 CY to the permitted site but note that the Plan of Operations has not yet been submitted or accepted. The remaining airspace should be adjusted from the 2012 Airspace Memo to 6,762,300 CY. Based on in-place waste densities over the life of the landfill estimated to be 1,800 pounds per cubic yard (PCY), the site life should be adjusted from the Veolia 2012 Airspace memo to 14.2 years. It continues to accept MSW, construction and demolition (C&D) waste and special waste.
Total property area is over 700 acres, of which 127.3 acres is part of the solid waste disposal limits. If the proposed expansion is fully permitted, it would add an additional 34 acres of landfill footprint area.
Additional information concerning the LGRL facility is detailed in the Section 1.3 below.

4.3 Existing Superfund Site Description
The following text is from the United States Environmental Protection (USEPA) Agency Superfund Website (June 2012). It gives a summary of the LGRL site and the actions that were taken to remedy the site. In the text, the USEPA refers to the LGRL site as its former name: the Hechimovich Sanitary Landfill.
The Hechimovich Sanitary Landfill site is situated on 24 acres and is located in Williamstown, Wisconsin, a rural area, located approximately two miles south of Mayville. The site is a former municipal and industrial waste landfill that operated under different ownerships from about 1959 to 1986. For a period of time the site was licensed to accept hazardous waste and the site did receive liquid industrial wastes that were placed in unlined pits. Some of the types of wastes disposed in these pits included paint sludges, cutting oils, and spent organic solvents. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) required the pits to be closed in 1980.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) detected [ILLEGIBLE] organic compounds (VOCs) in two wells [ILLEGIBLE] During operations, the owner of the site violated the terms of the landfill’s operating license by depositing solid waste in areas beyond those previously approved by WDNR. This violation was the subject of a state enforcement action in July 1987.
EPA proposed the site for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL) in June 1988 and finalized the site on the NPL in March 1989.
The towns nearest to the site are Mayville with 4,330 residents and Horicon with 3,585 residents. Approximately 5, 000 people obtain their drinking water from private wells located within three miles of the site.
Groundwater in several monitoring wells downgradient of the site is contaminated with VOCs in excess of state groundwater quality standards. In addition, two residential water supply wells are contaminated with VOCs in excess of state drinking water criteria. On-site soil is also contaminated with VOCs. Direct contact with or ingestion of contaminated groundwater or soil may pose health threats. Local surface waters may be used by residents for recreational activities. If site-related contaminants should migrate into the surface water, residents could be exposed to them when coming into direct contact with these bodies of water. Directly north of the Hechimovich Landfill site is a wetland which could be at risk from site runoff.
Through the enforcement of an existing state court order, the PRPs installed a landfill cap and a gas collection system at the site. Because of the success of the initial actions,

Rev. 0, 6/25/12 Project 120347.003
WDNR determined in a January 1994 Record of Decision (ROD) that no further source control action was necessary. EPA concurred on the ROD.
The PRPs completed studies to determine the nature and extent of groundwater contamination in 1994. WDNR selected a final remedy for the groundwater in a September 1995 ROD. The selected action was to continue with the source control actions and determine, through long-term groundwater monitoring, if those actions will remediate the groundwater contamination. Should the groundwater contamination not be remediated by the source control actions, the selected remedy will be revised through a decision amendment to require further actions.
The first five-year review for the site was completed in February 1999 and the second review was completed in June 2004. In June 2009, EPA signed the Third Five-Year Review Report for the site. The 2009 five-year review, which was prepared by WDNR, found that the remedy is protective of human health and the environment in the short-term, but identified issues that needed to be addressed.
As discussed in the 2009 five year review the understanding of site conditions dramatically changed in the [ILLEGIBLE] of 2009 [ILLEGIBLE] ongoing site investigations it seems probable that waste [ILLEGIBLE] activities at the landfill property are a source of drinking water contamination in several private drinking water wells located about 1800-4000 feet northeast of the waste boundary. Two of these wells have vinyl chloride concentrations exceeding state and federal drinking water maximum contaminant levels. In addition, one of these drinking water wells has a vinyl chloride concentration high enough to make the water unusable for any domestic purposes. This drinking water contamination lies deep within the bedrock aquifers downgradient, northeast, of the site. It is now understood that there is a deeper, previously unknown, groundwater contaminant plume leaving the landfill property to the northeast, moving through various bedrock units and impacting private drinking water wells cased 180-190 feet below the ground surface. Based on the current site conceptual model, it seems likely that the source of the bedrock contamination was a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) lying on top of the shale. This DNAPL is now likely dissipated and not amenable to any practical remedial measures. Because the source of the bedrock contamination cannot be addressed through an active remedial measure, future response actions at the site will involve primarily monitoring and mitigation of current and future water supply impacts. [Cornerstone Note: this statement assumes that waste will remain in place. In the proposed expansion presented in the Feasibility Report, Veolia proposed to relocate this waste. If that occurs, additional action will likely result in additional monitoring and response efforts as noted by the WDNR in Section 4.4.4 below]
As an interim public health protection measure, bottled drinking water has been provided to the two homes with contaminant levels exceeding drinking water standards. One of the homes which was a rental unit has been vacated. A permanent water supply solution for the second home will involve either a new well or treatment system on the existing well.

4.4.2 Facility Operating Permit
The existing Landfill Permit was issued on October 1, 2011 and expires on September 30, 2012. No information concerning the renewal of the permit was provided at this time. The Glacier Ridge Landfill is currently permitted to accept municipal solid waste (MSW). The total permitted capacity of the Glacier Ridge Landfill is 15,437,600 cubic yards. In accordance with the Negotiated Local Agreement prepared in 2005, the facility may operate between the hours of 6:00 AM and 5:30 PM Monday through Friday and from 6:00 AM and 12:00 PM on Saturday. Hours may be extended to 6:00 PM on Saturday if the Saturday follows a holiday.
The facility is also permitted to process and solidify liquid wastes, accept and treat contaminated soils, and has a solid waste composting facility located on the property.

Additional permits include a Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) Tier 2 Industrial Stormwater Permit, and an Air Pollution Control Construction Permit.
4.4.3 Air Pollution Control Permit
The Air Pollution Control Construction Permit allows Veolia to operate an open flare, a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, and various insignificant sources. Veolia is also permitted to operate a landfill gas to energy facility under the permit. The Construction Permit contains the standard permit conditions for MSW landfills.
The facility is a major source under part 70 since it has the potential to emit of at least 100 tons per year for carbon monoxide. The facility is therefore required to have a Title V Permit. The facility is a minor source with regards to New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Detection since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 250 tons per year. The facility is subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) since the design capacity is greater than 2.5 million megagrams. The facility is required to install and operate a gas [ILLEGIBLE] and [ILLEGIBLE] system [ILLEGIBLE] the NMOC emissions are greater than 50 Megagrams [ILLEGIBLE] and operated as required.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) issued Construction Permit 03SDD281 on March 8, 2005 for VSGRL. Veolia requested to convert the Construction Permit to a Title V Permit on April 23, 2008. The WDNR has not acted upon this request; therefore, a Title V Permit has not been issued to VSGRL. Veolia has been operating VSGRL in accordance with the permit conditions cited in the Construction Permit. Cornerstone recommends potential buyers investigate on the status of the Title V Permit for VSGRL.
4.4.4 Pending / Future / Expansion
Veolia has recently received a Feasibility Determination for an expansion of the Glacier Ridge Landfill. The proposed expansion would add approximately 4,847,600 cubic yards to the existing landfill, however approximately 1,400,000 cubic yards of the capacity will be consumed by the relocation of the LGRL facility (see below), resulting in a net airspace increase of 3,447,600 CY. The next step in receiving approval to expand the landfill involves preparing a Plan of Operation that must be approved by the WDNR. In addition it is likely that involvement of the Potentially Responsible Parties that are legally and financially liable for the remediation efforts at LGRL will also likely need to approve the excavation and relocation of waste within the LGRL Landfill.
One aspect of this project that needs to be noted is the proposed excavation and relocation of the existing LGRL facility. The proposed plan involves excavating waste in the LGRL site and placing it in the lined Glacier Ridge Landfill. The LGRL is a closed landfill that was a Superfund site, closed in 1986, and enforcement action from the

WDNR occurred in 1987 related to hazardous waste disposal at the facility. Waste that is excavated from LGRL that is determined to be hazardous will likely require disposal off site at a hazardous waste landfill or require other treatment. In addition to the waste material in LGRL, contaminated soil beneath LGRL will be required to be removed and treated as noted in the WDNR Feasibility Conditions stated below.
Based on the Feasibility Determination, it is unknown what types of waste will be excavated from the LGRL site, and what the extent of soil contamination below the waste will be. Of special concern is the statement from the USEPA as noted above “For a period of time the site was licensed to accept hazardous waste and the site did receive liquid industrial wastes that were placed in unlined pits.” The Feasibility Determination from the WDNR has imposed the following conditions of approval related to the LGRL site:
The Plan of Operation shall detail measures for characterizing, handling, and if necessary, treating the potentially contaminated water that is generated from the construction of the [ILLEGIBLE] control system and from dewatering during the removal of unstable [ILLEGIBLE].
The Plan of Operation shall include [ILLEGIBLE] plan for excavation, processing and final use of material from the Land & Gas Reclamation Landfill.
Dust and odor control measures.
Surface water control measures.
Testing to be performed during removal of waste.
How contact water (leachate) will be handled.
Process and procedures for special waste such as suspected hazardous waste.
Asbestos control measures.
Cold weather operational issues and how they may be addressed.
Measures for identifying and segregating salvageable materials such as appliances and other significant scrap metal items.
The Plan of Operation shall include a soil sampling and removal plan for contaminated soils located below the landfill liner subbase.
The Plan of Operation shall specify how residual soil contamination left in place will be monitored to allow for separation of impacts from LGRL and the Southeast Expansion.
Based upon this information, and the unknown potential quantity of contaminated soil beneath the waste in the LGRL site, major unknowns and potential for further liability exist if this expansion moves forward. Alternatively, the site owns property to the west that may be better suited for expansion despite possible wetland issues. In both cases, it would be wise for any site purchaser to not account for any additional site airspace due to the liabilities involved with the Feasibility Approved site (3.4 7M CY) or the long-term nature of other expansion options.

4.5 Area, Airspace, and Soil Balance
4.5.1 Area
The current landfill approved limits of waste occupy approximately 127.3 acres of land, and the proposed expansion would add approximately 34 acres of additional permitted landfill space. If the expansion is approved a total of 161.3 acres of landfill space would be permitted. The total property owned by Veolia is over 700 acres, which includes buffer property, and approximately 133.8 acres of property dedicated wetland and upland restoration.
4.5.2 Permitted Airspace
Based on the Feasibility Determination from the WDNR the total permitted airspace of the facility is 15,437,600 cubic yards. This is 310,200 cubic yards higher than the permitted airspace reported in the Golder Landfill Evaluation Report.
4.5.3 Remaining Permitted / Constructed Airspace
As of March 18, 2012, the remaining permitted airspace [ILLEGIBLE] approximately 6,762,300 cubic yards. The facility is permitted to overfill the south expansion area to a maximum level of 5% above the permitted waste grades which means that while they can capture the waste tonnage above the permitted airspace, following settlement they must still fall within the permitted airspace limitations. This overfill volume brings the total volume available for disposal to 7,210,300 cubic yards of waste prior to settlement. At closure the landfill volume will be equal to the permitted landfill volume (6,762,300 CY).
The remaining airspace that has already been constructed is equal to 1,460,480 cubic yards according to the Golder Landfill Evaluation Report
4.5.4 Remaining Site Life
According to the 2012 airspace calculations and the assumptions used by Veolia regarding waste filling and compaction rates, the landfill life remaining is 15.1 years assuming that the site is filled to the volume noted in the above section and using the actual permitted total airspace of15,127,600 CY. The site life calculations assumed an in-place waste density of 1.800 pounds per cubic yard, a daily waste intake of 1,500 tons, and waste disposal taking place 286 days per year.
If the proposed expansion of 3,447,600 cubic yards is approved, using the same waste density and tonnage assumptions above, and subtracting the volume of waste to be relocated from LGRL, the additional site life that may be gained is equal to 7.2 years. This brings the total site life up to approximately 21.4 years.

of two (2) 1 MWh Waukesha Engines, and Alliant Energy owns ten (10) 30 kW microturbines. The total generation capacity of the landfill gas to energy facility is 2.3 megawatts.
4.8 Environmental Monitoring
Environmental data related to groundwater, surface water, leachate, and landfill gas are summarized in the sections below.
4.8.1 Hydrogeology and Groundwater
4.8.1.1 Groundwater Wells
Groundwater at the facility is monitored through a network of 54 groundwater monitoring wells according to the 2005 Plan of Operations prepared by RMT. Several efforts such as the installation of a groundwater control trench have been made to separate the three non-contiguous landfills from each other. Chapter NR 140 Wisconsin Administrative Code (NR 140) groundwater exceedances [ILLEGIBLE] 2011 and January 11, 2012 semiannual reports at vario [ILLEGIBLE] The exceedances include levels above the Preventative Action Limit [ILLEGIBLE] Enforcement Standards (ES) for Vinyl Chloride, Specific Conductance, Alkalinity, and Hardness, 1,1-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene. The VOC exceedances were attributed to the LRGL site. Reasons for conductance, alkalinity and hardness exceedances may be due to changes in hydrogeology due to construction of the landfill, earthmoving activities, and/or changes in surface water drainage, the use of calcium chloride on site haul roads, or may be due to the LRGL site.
In addition VOCs were noted to exceed the PAL/ES established in NR 140 but were below the laboratory limit of quantification (LOQ). These VOCs were tetrachloroethylene, 1,2-dichloropropane, trichloroethylene, vinyl chloride. Because the concentrations were below the LOQ for the above mentioned compounds they were not considered exceedances.
In addition to the PAL/ES exceedances listed above, some wells had exceedances of the alternative concentration limits (ACLs) for chloride. The exceedances due to chloride were not attributed to the landfill but rather to road salt as the wells are located near County Highway V.
The WDNR Feasibility Determination also listed several monitoring wells that are not included above that have had exceedances recorded over the life of the landfill. This information is included by reference in the Feasibility Determination and may or may not constitute future issues with the facility.

4.8.1.2 Groundwater Control Trench
A groundwater control trench was installed to separate groundwater flow between the LRGL site and the active South Expansion. The outfall of the trench was being monitored on a monthly basis for arsenic, trichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride. Beginning in July 2011 the monitoring switched to semiannually for total suspended solids, vinyl chloride and trichloroethylene. In 2011, no exceedances for any of the above listed parameters were reported.
4.8.1.3 Gradient Control Lift Station
A gradient control system is installed below the South Expansion of the facility. The water removed from the gradient control system was being monitored monthly and is now being monitored semiannually. Monthly monitored included VOCs, dissolved arsenic, and total suspended solids. As of July 2011 only total suspended solids are being required on a semiannual basis. In 2011, no VOCs were detected, total suspended solids were within permitted levels, and arsenic was detected between the limit of detection and limit of quantification. Arsenic, however is no longer a required monitoring parameter.
4.8.2 Landfill Gas Probes
Based on the 2010 Annual Report for Glacier Ridge that was prepared by Environmental Sampling Corporation, no exceedances were found at any of the facilities 11 gas probes.
4.8.3 Surface Water
The facility uses a combination of sedimentation basins and bio-filters to control and treat surface water runoff. According to the 2010 annual report, the discharge of each of the surface water control structures is monitored on a quarterly basis visually for color, odor, turbidity, floating solids, foam, oil sheen or other obvious indicators of storm water pollution. According to the 2010 annual report no abnormalities were observed during the visual inspection.
According to the Plan of Operation Approval for the Southern Expansion (Approved in 2005) the surface water within the sedimentation basins must be monitored semiannually for field conductivity, field pH, field temperature, chloride, total suspended solids, BOD5, and COD. Information concerning the monitoring of the contaminants mentioned above was not provided in the documents that were made available. However, the results are reported on the WDNR website. It was verified that the samples were collected, analyzed, and reported to the WDNR.
4.8.4 Leachate
Leachate at the facility is either recirculated or removed from the facility and transferred to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). In 2010, the only data available for this review,

the volume hauled to the WWTP was 1.3M gallons and the volume recirculated was 6.3M gallons. It is unknown if this volume of leachate generation is typical or atypical, or if the recirculation rate is sustainable. The cost for transporting and disposing of leachate from this facility is $0.06 per gallon. In 2011, the WWTP where the leachate was transferred to was the Waukesha WWTP. Quarterly sampling and analysis reports were submitted to the Waukesha WWTP. In 2011, all tested parameters fell within the WWTP’s allowable limits.
Leachate is also sampled form the leachate storage tanks and analyzed for parameters specified in the Plan of Operation. The facility reports the results of the sampled leachate on the WDNR website. The results were not interpreted as part of this report, but were simply confirmed to have been completed. The information from the WWTP spot checks described above provides the required information to determine if the leachate contaminant levels are acceptable.
4.8.5 Air and Landfill Gas
The Air Construction Permit requires [ILLEGIBLE] the operations from the emission units sited in the permit. [ILLEGIBLE] monthly monitoring of the gas collection system, continuous monitoring of landfill gas flow to the open flare and to the landfill gas treatment system, and quarterly monitoring of surface emissions. Cornerstone reviewed the 2011 Annual and Semi-Annual Reports and these reports indicate the GCCS has been operated and monitored in accordance with the permit conditions in the Construction Permit.
4.9 Compliance History
4.9.1 Overall Facility Compliance
According to data provided for the period 2006 through 2011 the facility has had only one Notice of Non-Compliance which was issued on September 17, 2007. The non-compliance notice was issued by the WDNR for leachate that flowed into unlined phases of the landfill. Corrective action was taken at the time of the non-compliance notice and no sanctions were imposed. No other non-compliance notices or NOVs have been issued for the facility. Air permit compliance and the LGRL site compliance are detailed in section 4.9.3 below.
4.9.2 Title V Permit Compliance
Cornerstone reviewed a list of Notice of Violations (NOV) for seven MSW landfills owned and operated in Wisconsin by Veolia. Based upon this review, the WDNR has not issued a NOV to Veolia for the facility. Compliance was also confirmed by an audit performed by the WDNR in 2011. A compliance report from the WDNR states the facility was in full compliance with the permit conditions of the Construction Permit.

4.9.3 Landfill Gas and Reclamation Site
The LGRL site history is discussed in Section 4.3.
4.10 Capital Expenditures and Closure / Post Closure Costs
Included as Appendix C is a comparison of recent assessments prepared by Veolia containing project site development, closure and post-closure care costs and timing of those expenditures for the landfill (Summary Comparison of 2011 and 2012 Airspace Memos). In addition to providing a summary of Veolia’s most recent projections, our recommendations for predicted expenditures are included. Overall, we found Veolia’s approach to predicting the timing of cell construction and capping projects and their approach for building cost estimates for those projects to be sound. In most cases, we believe the cost estimates are too aggressive to be considered reliable and in these cases we have recommended alternative costs for modeling purposes.
The costs built into their model reflect most major items of construction. The administration and [ILLEGIBLE] the [ILLEGIBLE] are intended cover miscellaneous expenses or changes to the construction. [ILLEGIBLE] is our opinion that these numbers are generally [ILLEGIBLE] and do not [ILLEGIBLE] typical cost overruns, changes in fuel prices or material prices, and general change orders that would be expected in most construction projects. Additionally, items like consulting assistance, permitting, and miscellaneous “soft costs” are not called out within these models. In view of this, and as shown in the Appendix C summary, it is recommended that cost expectations for liner and cover construction should be increased by 10% over the construction costs provided by Veolia with the exception noted below.
The largest aspect of contingent cost is the cost to exhume and relocate the estimated 1.4 million waste material located in the VGRL. As noted in Feasibility Determination from the WDNR, the waste material is unknown as is the residual soil contamination and quantity of contaminated soil located below this potentially hazardous waste. In total, an estimated 1.4 million CY of waste and soil material is expected to be removed to reach expansion subbase grades, but this volume could increase if soil contamination is more extensive than anticipated. If determined to be MSW, the $4.16 per CY to exhume and relocate is still light by $0.60 to $0.85 per CY according to past experience. If it has to be relocated to a hazardous waste material, the costs could increase exponentially. Additionally, no sampling costs are noted anywhere in the cost estimating spreadsheet developed by Veolia in May 2012. Because of these unknowns, we recommend a contingency of +150% on this line item and these adjusted costs for liner construction are reflected in the table in Appendix C.
Other aspects of infrastructure costs seem low. Gas plant interconnection can vary extensively as can wetland mitigation and maintenance. As such, we recommend a 20% additional contingency be applied to the remaining costs associated with the

infrastructure cost in the noted table compared to the 2012 Veolia cost estimates to reflect costs that could be incurred.
4.10.1 Other Capital Expenditures
Other capital expenditures that were noted include wetland mitigation and maintenance, a new leachate storage tank, new site entrance and entrance scale, new landfill office and shop, gas plant interconnection and landscaping. As noted above, some of these have large unknowns and therefore additional contingency in the amount of 20% not noted by Veolia in their cost estimates was added.
4.10.2 Post-Closure
The post-closure period for the facility is 40 years and the total post-closure monitoring costs have been estimated at $10.6M, or approximately $265,000 per year, which includes the expansion assumed to be approved through Plan of Operations. No breakdown of monitoring and costs were given and its unknown the costs to operate any groundwater treatment system in addition to addressing the groundwater issues associated with the VGRL site. It is noted that the calculations for leachate generation did not change from active (2010) rates to closed rates and results in $82,000 per year in costs. It is likely that these costs are overstated when estimating post-closure costs. While the main features for long-term O&M are included, we feel the lack of general permitting, consulting and administrative fees as well as the potential for maintenance in perpetuity underrepresents the post-closure costs but are at a minimum, off-set by the reduction in leachate disposal costs and shouldn’t be adjusted.
4.11 Site Visit and Interview
Not permitted by seller.
4.12 Regulatory Interview
Not permitted by seller.
4.13 Other Significant Items that are Unique to the site
The facility contains an under drain system to keep groundwater from contacting the bottom of the landfill.
The LGRL waste relocation project may be challenging to implement. Also, many unknowns exist as to the contaminants disposed of in the facility and the contamination levels of the surrounding soils. The excavation of the facility may require additional costs if high levels of contamination are observed or if hazardous waste is encountered during construction. The costs were adjusted by an additional 150% contingency for this line item in the cost estimating

5 HICKORY MEADOWS LANDFILL
5.1 General Site Description
The Hickory Meadows Landfill (facility, Hickory Meadows, or VHML) is an active municipal solid waste landfill located at W3105 Schneider Road, Hilbert, Wisconsin 54129. The site has been accepting waste and operated by Veolia Environmental Services, or firms acquired by Veolia since 1999. Prior to site development, the site was a “greenfield” site.
The site consists of 733.8 acres (updated from a recent parcel purchase) with a past footprint for solid waste disposal of 58.7 acres with an approved capacity of 7,546,000 cubic yards (CY). In April 2012, an 11,289,167 CY expansion was approved to the Feasibility stage that if approved will expand the waste footprint to a total of 76.1 acres and the total permitted air space capacity to [ILLEGIBLE] CY While it is expected to be approved for construction it is yet unknown what the actual approved airspace will be, and until this occurs, the airspace should continue to be 7,546,000 CY. The actual permitted airspace remaining from the March 2012 survey is 1,186,500 CY. The site accepts municipal solid waste (MSW), contaminated soil, special waste and PCB contaminated sediment.
According to historic waste intake reports, over the last four years the waste intake consisted of a low of 581,793 tons in 2011 and a high of 827,961 tons in 2010.

5.3.2 Facility Operating Permit
The current facility operating permit was issued on January 29, 1998. This permit is renewed annually. A favorable Determination of Site Feasibility for an expansion was recently granted on April 16, 2012.
The current permit includes accepting non-hazardous municipal solid waste (MSW), construction and demolition (C&D) waste, and special waste. No hazardous waste will be accepted. Liquid waste may be received if approved under a Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) Plan. The site’s permit also allows receipt of PCB contaminated sediments excavated from the Fox River sediment project.
5.3.3 Pending / Future / Expansion
On April 16, 2012, the facility received a favorable Determination of Site Feasibility for expansion. This is a major step in the expansion approval process, but detailed Plan of Operations still need to be finalized, submitted and approved and a number of items can change from Feasibility to Plan of Operations, including airspace volumes. The expansion as described in the Feasibility determination provides for an additional air space volume of 11,279,500 CY. The approval states that at the projected filling rate, the expanded airspace will allow for approximately 15 years of additional site life. Internal Veolia records indicate that at the current filling rate and in place waste density, the additional airspace adds approximately 26.4 years of site life for a total remaining site life of 27.8 years. To obtain approval by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Veolia had to demonstrate a site life of 15 years as required by state statutes, which they likely did by showing an increase in filling rates by volume in the future. If the waste mix shifts to a lower percentage of contaminated sediments and higher

percentage of MSW by volume, the airspace usage would likely increase on a volume basis due to lower densities per CY.
5.4 Area, Airspace, and Soil Balance
5.4.1 Area
The facility property consists of 734 acres. The original permitted landfill footprint incorporates 58.7 acres, and the expansion footprint total is now 76.1 acres immediately south and east of the existing landfill. The expansion includes a 29 acre vertical expansion overlay onto the existing landfill.
5.4.2 Permitted Airspace
The permitted airspace for the Facility includes 7,546,000 CY for the original landfill, and potentially another 11,279,500 CY is in the permitting process for the recently proposed expansion. Veolia’s 2012 Airspace memo does not present this information in
an accurate manner and [ILLEGIBLE] requested volume will be permitted, which is still unknown until the anticipated [ILLEGIBLE]. Quarter [ILLEGIBLE] of the Plan of Operations. Total permitted airspace remains [ILLEGIBLE].
5.4.3 Remaining Permitted / Constructed Airspace
The 2012 annual airspace calculations report indicates that the remaining permitted airspace is 1,186,500 CY, at the survey date of March 13, 2012.
5.4.4 Remaining Site Life
The 2012 annual airspace calculations report a remaining site life of 27.8 years, which incorrectly accounts for the full expansion potential noted in the Feasibility letter. More accurately, this should be represented as 2.7 years (from March 2012 survey date) based on remaining permitted airspace of 1,186,500 CY, predicted waste acceptance rate of 1,800 tons per day, 286 filling days per year, and a projected waste density of 2,300 pounds per CY.
The WDNR permitted the expansion with an anticipated site life of 15 years, which indicates that the site would be increasing waste volume on an annual basis.
Site life, both now and in the future, will be determined by the types of waste received. The site has had, and expects to continue to receive for some time, sediments from environmental dredging operations. If this were to cease, the site would receive less tonnage in addition to less dense waste material.

5.5 Gas System / Gas to Energy
The facility has installed a gas collection and control system within closed landfill Phases. The collection system is connected to a blower and flare station. Based on the records provided, the flare is operating at approximately 1,500 SCFM. Planned improvements to the existing LFG collection system in 2012 include the addition of 16 pneumatic pumps in select gas wells to reduce liquid levels within gas collection wells, and $2 million expenditure for new temporary LFG wells and piping in existing and expansion areas.
In August of 2011, Veolia Energy Renewables, LLC (VER) started up a 4.8 MW landfill gas to electricity (LFGTE) generation facility on a parcel leased from the Veolia Environmental Services landfill site. A 20 year LFG Purchase Agreement is in place between VER and Veolia Environmental Services, and includes all available collected landfill gas. A 10 year Power Purchase Agreement is in place with Wisconsin Public Service Corporation.

The existing, 4.8 MW LFGTE facility will utilize approximately 1,350 SCFM of landfill gas. It is designed to operate with the landfill’s blower providing flow to the LFGTE facility, and it is also able to pull gas to the facility in the event that the landfill’s blower malfunctions or is shut down for maintenance. Excess gas not utilized in the LFGTE facility is sent back to the flare for combustion and is controlled by automated valving.
5.6 Environmental Monitoring
The facility utilizes the Dakota Auditor Software to manage the facility’s environmental compliance program. Based on the 2012 report by Golder, all red flags identified in 2011 have been rectified.
The site accepts PCB contaminated sediments from the Fox River cleanup project. No environmental issues have been reported due to this sediment acceptance.

5.6.1.1 Groundwater
Groundwater flow at the site is generally to the northeast. Baseline groundwater monitoring for the recently approved expansion has indicated that elevated levels of arsenic, boron, chromium, copper, lead, manganese, chloride, and sulfate occur at the site. These substances are either naturally occurring or are upgradient contaminant sources. An exemption to the presence of the above contaminants has been granted by the WDNR.
The groundwater monitoring network at the facility consists of 32 monitoring wells, which are sampled semiannually by Environmental Sampling Corporation. Analytical testing of the samples is performed by Siemens, Inc. The January 2011 groundwater monitoring summary indicated no exceedances to the Wisconsin Administrative Code, NR 140 groundwater parameters. One well had a specific conductance exceedance over the site specific Preventative Action Level. Further evaluation of the remaining sampled parameters indicated that this could have been a monitoring error. It will be reevaluated at the next semi-annual sampling event.
5.6.2 Landfill Gas Probes
The facility has six perimeter gas monitoring probes which have not had any exceedances. The gas monitoring probes are monitored quarterly.
5.6.3 Surface Water
The facility maintains Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System, (WPDES), Tier 2 General Permit for the discharge of Stormwater associated with Industrial Activity,

Permit No. S067857-03. That permit was issued on May 13, 2011 and expires April 30, 2016. The facility has seven surface water discharge points that are visually monitored on a quarterly basis. No specific analytical surface water outfall monitoring is required. No issues have been identified that would preclude the permit from being renewed.
5.6.4 Leachate
The existing permit to discharge leachate to the City of Appleton Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) was issued on January 9, 2009, and expires on December 31, 2012. From July, 2011 through December, 2011, 9,008,254 gallons of leachate were transported to the WWTP. Current hauling and discharge fees are estimated $0.05 per gallon.
Wastewater discharges from the facility (leachate) are sampled semi-annually and the leachate volume is recorded monthly. Due to the facility’s acceptance of the PCB contaminated Fox River sediments, analytical sampling includes a PCB analysis. Since monitoring started in March of 2003, there have been no PCB exceedances.
5.6.5 Air and Landfill Gas
VHML is a major source under part [ILLEGIBLE] since [ILLEGIBLE] the potential to emit of at least 100 tons per year for carbon monoxide, therefore required to have a Title V Permit. The facility is a minor source with regards to New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Detection since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 250 tons per year.
The facility’s Title V Permit, 408055340-P10 requires Veolia to monitor the operations from the emission units. These requirements include monthly monitoring of the gas collection system, continuous monitoring of landfill gas flow to the open flare and to the landfill gas treatment system, and quarterly surface emission monitoring. The Title V Permit expires on May 17, 2015. Wisconsin regulations require a renewal application be submitted at least six (6) months but no more than 18 months prior to the expiration date. Therefore, a renewal application is due by no later than November 15, 2014.
The WDNR issued Construction Permit 10 -POY-001 to Veolia Energy Renewables, LLC. (VER). Cornerstone has reviewed the WDNR website and it appears the WDNR has not yet issued a Title V Permit to VER. Engine emissions testing has been conducted and submitted to the WDNR, which included formaldehyde testing. VER is awaiting the Title V permit issuance.
Cornerstone reviewed the 2010 Annual and Semi-Annual Reports and these reports indicate the GCCS of VHML has been operated and monitored in accordance with the permit conditions in the Title V Permit except for the following conditions associated with controlling passive venting of landfill gas. Based upon the 2010 Annual Compliance Report for VHML, Veolia released uncombusted landfill gas into the atmosphere for

approximately six (6) hours in March 2010. Veolia determined a computer malfunction caused the release of uncombusted landfill gas.
Cornerstone also reviewed the 2011 Annual Compliance Reports for VHML. These reports indicate Veolia was intermittently compliant with several permit conditions associated with the operating requirements for the gas collection system. Tier 2 testing was performed at the facility in July 2009.
In total, 37 vertical gas extraction wells are installed within the waste mass and are collected by a blower and sent to a LFGTE system and/or landfill gas flare.
5.7 Compliance History
Cornerstone reviewed a list of Notice of Violations (NOV) and based upon this review, the WDNR has not issued a NOV to the facility.
5.8 Capital Expenditures and Closure / Post Closure Costs
Included as Appendix D [ILLEGIBLE] a [ILLEGIBLE] assessments prepared by Veolia which project site development closure and post-closure care costs and timing of those
expenditures for the landfill (Summary Comparison of 2011 and 2012 Airspace Memos). In addition to providing a summary of Veolia’s most recent projections, our recommendations for predicted expenditures are included. Overall, we found Veolia’s approach to predicting the timing of cell construction and capping projects and their approach for building cost estimates for those projects to be sound. In most cases, we believe the cost estimates are too aggressive to be considered reliable and in these cases we have recommended alternative costs for modeling purposes.
The costs built into their model reflect most major items of construction. The administration and contingency of 5% built into the model are intended cover miscellaneous expenses or changes to the construction. It is our opinion that these numbers are generally “best case” scenario, and do not encompass typical cost overruns, changes in fuel or material prices, and general change orders that would be expected in most construction projects. Additionally, things like consulting assistance, permitting, and miscellaneous “soft costs” are not called out within these models. In view of this, and as shown in the Appendix D summary, it is recommended that cost expectations should be increased by at least 10% over the construction costs provided by Veolia.
5.8.1.1 Cell Development
Based on the 2012 Annual Airspace Summary memo, new phase construction is scheduled to occur in 2018 (Cell 7 - 21.8 acres), 2026 (Cell 8 - 15.3 acres), and 2026 (Cell 9 - 24.8 acres). Looking at these areas and scheduled construction costs, it is likely that some of those may be split into two construction events per cell, and even if done in

one event the lump sum mobilization costs are underrepresented. A detailed construction estimate summary was prepared by a third party consultant but was not provided for review. An estimate of additional mobilization costs was updated to reflect that in the table in the Appendix D summary.
5.8.1.2 Closure
A minimum of five phases (4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) of the facility remain to be closed. These are proposed as:
2013: Phase 4, 14.1 acres
2018: Phase 5, 18.4 acres
2034: Phase 6, 20.0 acres
2037: Phase 7, 8.7 acres
2040: Phase 8, 55.7 acres
Based on the acreage of Phase 8, it is likely that this may be done over several construction phases so subsequently, and even if not lump sum mobilization costs appear to be underrepresented in the cell development cost spreadsheet and costs were updated to reflect that in the table in the Appendix [ILLEGIBLE].
5.8.1.3 Landfill Gas System
The construction costs associated with the final landfill gas collection and control system (GCCS) appear reasonable for a system of this size and include the replacement of the flare. The facility has also included the costs associated with the construction of a temporary or interim GCCS. The cost of the interim system is assumed at 40 percent of the total GCCS cost.
As per our other recommendations, we’d recommend increasing the costs by 10% for contingent or unforeseen factors.
Construction costs associated with the interim system have been included in the cell development cost estimates and the construction costs associated with the final GCCS have been included in the closure cost estimates. All GCCS construction costs have been proportion on a per acre basis for each construction event. The actual GCCS construction cost may vary based on the requirement of the GCCS. GCCS construction phasing plans were not provided.
5.8.1.4 Other Capital Expenditures
In the 2012 airspace memo, the facility has estimated the cost other capital expenditures at approximately $750,000 for paving activities. Without any details on what this entails, no changes will be made to this number.

5.8.1.5 Post-Closure
The post-closure period for the facility is 40 years and the total post-closure monitoring costs have been estimated at $11.7 million, which equates to approximately $87,000 per acre. While the methodology is acceptable for state agency approval and bonding purposes, things like snow plowing, general consulting, permitting and administrative costs appear underrepresented. We believe a 15% additional contingency factor on post-closure costs estimated by Veolia is appropriate. There is potential for post-closure care to some degree in perpetuity and likely some financial obligation contained therein. To what degree is unknown at this time but should be considered as part of the long-term cost factors. If the expansion is permitted, long-term care costs will be increased as well.

5.10 Regulatory Interview
DRAFT

5.11 Other Significant Items that are Unique to the site
The design of the facility includes a groundwater underdrain system.
The facility maintains a host community agreement with the Town of Chilton and Calumet County, which includes a maximum disposal rate of 609,000 tons per year, with a 25% per ton surcharge for accepted waste over that amount. The agreement includes a payment to the Town of Chilton of $2.20/ton, indexed annually to the Consumer Price Index, and a $0.50/ton fee for out-of-service area waste.
Receives waste from an environmental dredging operation, which despite dewatering has high liquids percentage. If and when these operations were to cease, tonnage would likely be reduced and densities of waste would also be reduced.

6 MALLARD RIDGE LANDFILL
6.1 General Site Description
The Mallard Ridge Landfill is a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill facility located in Delevan, Wisconsin consisting of two closed disposal areas and two active disposal areas and was acquired from Republic Services in 2010. The existing active landfill is operated under a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) Solid Waste Permit #03244. The closed site is licensed under WDNR # 00140. The landfill is located 714 acres of property, of which 133 acres are permitted for solid waste disposal and 88 acres are active fill. Active permitted airspace is 13,291,000 cubic yards between the Northern and Southern Expansion Landfills with 4,988,500 cubic yards of disposal capacity remaining as of March 8, 2012.
DRAFT
The closed site (#01400) includes the Greidanus Landfill and Mallard Ridge Landfill. The Greidanus Landfill was approved in 1970 as a 20-acre sanitary landfill to accept MSW. A phased closure plan was approved by the WDNR and implemented in 1980. The Mallard Ridge Landfill was approved for operation in 1984 and consisted of a 29-acre expansion from the existing Greidanus Landfill. This combined landfill has a LFG collection system.
The active site (#03244) includes the Northern Expansion Landfill and the Southern Expansion Landfill which were permitted for operation in 1993 and 2005, respectively. Both areas have active LFG collection systems.

6.3.2 Facility Operating Permit
DRAFT
The current facility operating permit, WDNR Solid Waste Facility License #03244, will expire on 9/30/12. The Mallard Ridge Landfill is a municipal solid waste facility, accepting the following waste types: municipal solid waste, utility ash/sludge, foundry waste, other non-hazardous solid waste, industrial waste, shredder fluff, and treated contaminated soil. The average annual intake is 330,000 tons from 1990 through 2009. In 2011, this trend continued with nearly 357,000 tons accepted. There are roughly 286 filling days out of the year and the standard hours of operation Monday-Friday are 7am-4pm.
6.3.3 Air Permits
Veolia is permitted to operate Veolia ES Mallard Ridge Landfill (VSMRL) under Air Pollution Control Operation Permit (Operation Permit) 265128270-P02. The Title V Permit allows Veolia to operate an open flare, a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, and various insignificant sources. Cornerstone has reviewed the permit conditions of the Title V Permit, and the Title V Permit contains the standard permit conditions for MSW landfills.
Title V Permit 265128270-P02 originally expired on December 27, 2009. Wisconsin regulations require a renewal application be submitted at least six (6) months but no more than 18 months prior to the expiration date. A renewal application was submitted to the WDNR on June 26, 2009. At this time, this WDNR has not acted upon this application.

Project 120347.003
VSMRL is a major source under part 70 since it has the potential to emit of at least 100 tons per year for carbon monoxide; therefore required to have a Title V Permit. The facility is a minor source with regards to New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Detection since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 250 tons per year. VSMRL is subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) since the design capacity is greater than 2.5 million megagrams, is required to install and operate a gas collection and control system (GCCS) installed because the NMOC emissions are greater than 50 Megagrams per year.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) issued Veolia an Air Pollution Control Construction Permit (Construction Permit) 12-RSG-053 on May 22, 2012. The Construction Permit allows Veolia to install a new open flare and a fourth engine. In addition, the Construction Permit requires Veolia to perform compliance testing on the new engine for carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and volatile organic compounds emissions. These tests potentially range between $4,000 to $8,000 depending on the testing method and laboratory used. After this period, the Title V Permit should be revised to incorporate the permit conditions cited in the Construction Permit.
DRAFT
The Construction Permit also requires testing the new engine and the existing engines for formaldehyde emissions. Formaldehyde testing of landfill gas (LFG) engines is required by Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 445. NR 445 requires if the formaldehyde emissions exceed the required thresholds a facility has to initiate the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) or perform inhalation impact modeling (IIM). Cornerstone is aware of several facilities that performed IIM with formaldehyde emission rates from their engines and these facilities were unable to meet the NR 445 IIM thresholds. As a result, these facilities were required to initiate BACT. However, BACT has not been established for controlling formaldehyde emissions from LFG engines. As a result, a technical advisory committee (TAC) has been established to determine a presumptive BACT (p-BACT) for formaldehyde emissions that would apply to all Wisconsin facilities. The TAC is composed of representatives from the WDNR and solid waste industry. The TAC is currently working on the p-BACT. Once the p-BACT is completed, the TAC will submit the p-BACT to the WDNR for review and approval. The Construction Permit does allow Veolia an alternative to the BACT if testing results are above the required thresholds. However, Cornerstone recommends future owners follow the results of this p-BACT analysis.
Cornerstone also reviewed the 2011 Air emission inventory (AEI) for VSMRL. The AEI includes emissions from a tipper. Neither the Title V Permit nor the Construction Permit identifies a tipper as a permitted emission unit at VSMRL. Cornerstone is unaware if this tipper remains at VSMRL and recommends appropriate permitting update if it remains on-site as an air emissions source.

6.3.4 Storage Tanks
Mallard Ridge has both underground storage tanks (UST’s) and aboveground storage tanks (AST’s) on site. According to previously conducted Due Diligence work, there are
17 AST’s and 5 UST’s, mostly containing diesel or oil. One of the UST’s is the leachate storage tank which has a 30,000 gallon capacity. However, based on a July 2010 letter from the WDNR, the underground leachate storage tank was planned to be replaced by an aboveground storage tank. Mallard Ridge Landfill has a number of UST operating permits but it is unknown whether or not they have been renewed.
6.3.5 Pending / Future / Expansion
Currently, there are no pending permits for a landfill expansion. As of 2009, concept plans had been developed with design options yielding between 22.0 million cubic yards and 44.3 million cubic yards. No further information of said expansion plans or their viability has surfaced since Veolia’s acquisition of the property from Republic in November 2010.
DRAFT
Historically, there have been [ILLEGIBLE] in the last three decades. A 29-acre expansion of the [ILLEGIBLE] Landfill known as the Mallard Ridge Landfill, was approved for operation under NR 180 rules in 1984. The 40-acre Northern Expansion and the 49-acre Southern Expansion were both approved for operation under NR 500 rules in 1993 and 2005, respectively.
6.4 Area, Airspace and Soil Balance
6.4.1 Area
According to the 2010 due diligence report, the facility property consists of 714 acres, while the Veolia landfill profile sheet states that the total property acreage is 776 acres. The source of this discrepancy could not be determined by the documentation provided.
A total of 133 acres are permitted for landfill disposal, 35 of which are closed. The active fill area consists of 88 acres.
6.4.2 Permitted Airspace
The total active permitted airspace capacity is 13,291,000 CY between the Northern and Southern Expansion Landfills. This is consistent between the 2010 due diligence report and the 2012 Veolia internal memo and does not include the two closed landfills. The active Northern Expansion Landfill holds 5,197,000 CY while the active Southern Expansion Landfill holds 8,094,000 CY.

6.4.3 Remaining Permitted/Constructed Airspace
As of March 8, 2012, the permitted airspace remaining amounts to 4,988,500 CY. The entire North Expansion (Phases 1-3) and three out of the six phases of the Southern Expansion (Phases 1-3) have been constructed, totally 553,700 CY. Of the remaining permitted airspace, 4,434,800 CY remain to be constructed in the Southern Expansion Landfill between 2012 and 2018.
6.4.4 Remaining Site Life
Considering a projected life-of-landfill density of 2000 PCY, 286 filling days per year, and a predicted life-of-landfill average filling rate of 1,300 TPD, the remaining site life is estimated to be 13.4 years from 2012 survey date. The projected density is a conservative estimate that should be used until a historic trend can be developed.
6.4.5 Soil Balance
The soil balance for the [ILLEGIBLE] that there’s more than enough general fill/daily cover soil on the property to use for general construction and final capping fill and daily cover material. According to the calculations, the remaining general fill soil stockpile volume after the close of the facility in 2026 will be approximately 1.0M CY. This abundance of general fill results in costs for soil excavation and hauling but not procurement.
DRAFT
In contrast, there is no on-site clay source; therefore, the clay will be sourced from an off-site borrow site. The cost per acre for cell construction is $250,000, with an additional $89,000/acre for the clay liner considering $13.75/CY clay cost. The aggregate fill costs are assumed to be included in the cell construction costs.
Mallard Ridge Landfill uses a combination of intake waste as Alternate Daily Covers (ADC). These wastes include high volume industrial waste, shredder fluff, and treated contaminated soil. In 2012, Mallard Ridge Landfill began using residual glass waste as drainage media, aggregate replacement, backfill, and as an ADC at the active face of the landfill.
Total volume of special waste used for daily cover based on average annual waste intake and an average waste density of 2,000 PCY is approximately 33,000 CY (33,000 tons). Stockpiled soil is also used for Daily Cover. The Waste to Daily Cover Ratio at Mallard Ridge Landfill is 7:1.

6.6 Gas System / Gas-to-Energy
Each of the four landfills at Mallard Ridge Landfill includes an active landfill gas (LFG) collection system consisting of headers, laterals and vertical extraction wells. The closed and active landfill gas collection systems are separated up to a point immediately upstream of a common blower, which then routes LFG to a gas-to-energy facility and/or open flare.
A portion of LFG collected at the site is beneficially used at an on-site LFGTE plant consisting of a gas pre-treatment system and three reciprocating CAT engines (two installed in 1996 and one in 1998). According to a letter from WDNR dated February 1, 2012, Mallard Ridge Landfill has been authorized to construct and initially operate a new landfill gas fired reciprocating engine and a new open flare. The new, larger capacity open flare will replace the existing open flare. The documents available for review did not clarify when construction was planned to begin as the construction documents were not provided for review.
In November 2010, Republic Services received approval from the WDNR to conduct improvements to the Landfill Gas System Mallard Ridge Landfill. The improvements included the installation of ten additional gas extraction wells and associated LFG piping with control valves. In total, 85 gas extraction wells are operated and monitored as part of the closed and active sites’ LFG collection system.
A LFG condensate removal system was also installed consisting of a temporary condensate drip leg connected to a cleanout riser. To provide odor control, the LFG extraction system was connected to leachate cleanout risers on the east and south side of the site. All system-cleanout riser connections are equipped with an above-ground wellhead assembly for sampling and gas flow regulation.
The gas collection and control system (GCCS) appears to be operated in compliance with applicable regulations and permit conditions.
6. 7 Environmental Monitoring
The Environmental Sampling and Analysis Plan provides for the measurement of groundwater levels and quality, leachate levels and leachate quality, landfill gas volumes, pressures, gas quality, gas migration potential, and landfill gas condensate volumes and quantity.
6. 7.1 Groundwater
The geology beneath the Mallard Ridge landfill consists of relatively high permeability deposits which facilitates rapid groundwater flow velocities and relatively large horizontal groundwater flux. Groundwater flow is well defined, moving from north to

south-southeast, discharging into Turtle Creek. A robust groundwater monitoring plan has been established at the site, with semi-annual groundwater level and quality sampling being conducted. This sampling plan provides well distributed data, both spatially and temporally, from which to evaluate the impact of the landfill on groundwater. The results of over 20 years of monitoring indicate only minor impacts to groundwater quality are evident. The primary impact is a plume of VOCs that appears to emanate from the unlined Greidanus Landfill and extends to the southeast. The plume is primarily composed of TCE and PCE with the highest concentrations in the 5 to 10 ppb range. Although the capping of the Greidanus landfill in (1988) appears to have been effective in reducing initial concentrations, recent data from well W-2R indicates an increasing trend in TCE concentrations. The cause of this trend is unknown.
There are approximately 45 groundwater monitoring wells and piezometers associated with the landfill facility that are monitored on a semi-annual frequency (March and September) in accordance with the Environmental Monitoring and Long-Term Care Plan dated January 2005. In addition, eight off-site private wells are monitored by local agreement on an annual basis (June). The private wells are located beyond the southern and eastern site boundaries. The Environmental Monitoring Plan provides good horizontal coverage and a comprehensive array of data from which to map and evaluate the impacts of the facility on groundwater quality. Section 6.8.2 below details groundwater sampling results and trends.
A list of conventional parameters analyzed on a semi-annual frequency from the monitoring wells includes alkalinity, chloride, hardness, fluoride, sodium, pH, specific conductance, GW elevation, and temperature. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are analyzed from all wells on an annual basis in June. In addition to the above parameters, sulfate, iron, manganese, color, odor, and turbidity are also reported for the private wells on an annual basis in June.
Groundwater quality data are evaluated in accordance with NR 140 (State Groundwater Quality Standards) and NR 500 (General Solid Waste Management Requirements). The data were compared with Preventative Action Limits (PALs), Enforcement Standards (ESs), and Alternative Concentration Limits (ACLs), where applicable.
6.7.2 Landfill Gas Probes
According to the Environmental Monitoring and Long-Term Care Plan featured in the 2005 RMT Plan of Operation Report for the Southern Expansion, the Active site (#03244) had six existing gas probes with five more expected to be installed with the expansion, and three abandoned over the active life of the landfill. There are nine gas probes in the Long Term Care plan to be measured quarterly. The Closed site (#00140) has 14 probes total that are measured quarterly.

6.7.3 Stormwater
Mallard Ridge Landfill is permitted for stormwater discharge under the General Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) Permit No. WI-S067857-3 by virtue of compliance with Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter NR 216. Said permit was issued May 31, 2011 and expires April 30, 2016. An additional General WPDES Permit No. WI-0047341-3 was issued to permit bypasses or overflows from the sewage collection system in the event of “occasional plugged or broken sewer mains, equipment failure, power outages and excess infiltration and inflow of groundwater and storm water into defective sanitary sewers during wet weather conditions.” This permit number was the most recent found to cover said circumstances; however, No. WI-0047341-3 expired in March 2006 and we could find no evidence in the resources available to us that this has been renewed. Based on this finding, the permit may need to be investigated further.
6.7.4 Surface Water
Turtle Creek runs along the southern border of the facility property line, and the facility is required to measure standard write quantity parameters annually (June) per local agreement. Additionally, [ILLEGIBLE] #1 on the landfill site is monitored quarterly. The standard water quality parameters include color, field specific conductance, field odor, field pH, temperature, field turbidity, and total suspended solids.
6.7.5 Leachate
Leachate volumes are pumped and measured monthly, and the leachate head wells are monitored quarterly for both licensed sites on the landfill (#03244 and #01400). The 2012 estimated costs for leachate hauling and treatment is $0.0242/gallon. Leachate hauling and treatment is handled by WalCoMet WWTP.
Mallard Ridge Landfill is authorized to discharge leachate and sanitary wastewater to WalCoMet in accordance with Industrial Waste Discharge Permit No. 265089770-4. This permit expires on December 31, 2015. The wastewater discharge is monitored to ensure compliance with effluent limitations and discharge standards contained in the permit. Mallard Ridge Landfill is responsible for maintaining all of the necessary sampling equipment at the main lift station (Sample Point LEA-01) . The permit authorizes Mallard Ridge Landfill to transport leachate via tanker truck directly to the WalCoMet in the event that the force main cannot be used due to repair or maintenance. Costs associated with this permit are a $500 administrative annual fee, a $500 permit renewal fee, reimbursement for the actual cost of any required sampling/analysis/monitoring, fines related to prohibited or accidental discharges and/or failing to report discharges, and treatment charges. Treatment charges are based on volume and strength, and are assessed at 150% of the current WalCoMet rates.

6.7.6 Air and Landfill Gas
The Title V and Construction Permits require Veolia to monitor the operations from the emission units. These requirements include monthly monitoring of the gas collection system, continuous monitoring of landfill gas flow to the open flare, to the engines, and to the landfill gas treatment system, and quarterly monitoring of surface emissions. Cornerstone reviewed the 2011 Annual and Semi-Annual Reports and these reports indicate the GCCS of VSMRL has been operated and monitored in accordance with the permit conditions associated with the engines and the open flare but intermittently compliant with permit conditions associated with the wellfield by not maintaining the required oxygen and pressure thresholds.
Closed site #01400 has 25 gas extraction wells that are monitored monthly for percent methane, percent oxygen, flow rate, gas temperature, and pressure. Active site #03244 has 60 gas extraction wells that are also monitored monthly for the same parameters as closed site #01400 (standard). The gas plant and flare at the landfill are also monitored monthly.
6.8 Compliance History
The facility utilizes the Dakota Auditor Software to manage the facility’s environmental compliance program. Based on the 2012 report by Golder, 28 of the 30 red flags reported in 2011 have been rectified.
With respect to solid waste issues, Mallard Ridge Landfill appears to be in full compliance with all local, state, and federals laws and regulations. The applicable annual licenses for solid waste operations at Mallard Ridge Landfill expire on September 30, 2012.
Mallard Ridge is subject to the USEPA Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule
40 CFR Part 98, Subpart HH. Cornerstone reviewed in-house GHG monitoring data for 2010 and it appears that the Mallard Ridge Landfill is in compliance with this rule.
6.8.1 Notices of Violation
A Notice of Violation (NOV) was issued from the Walworth County Metropolitan Sewerage District as a result of leachate discharge exceedances for Molybdenum in April 2011. A $150.00 fine was assessed and the issue is resolved.
The WDNR issued a NOV to VSMRL in 2010 while it was under the ownership of Republic Services. The NOV covered several incidents of the release of uncombusted landfill gas into the atmosphere. Cornerstone was not provided information to determine if the incidents in this NOV were resolved. Cornerstone recommends investigation the

status of this NOV to confirm that issues were resolved to the satisfaction of the department.
6.8.2 Groundwater Issues
Table 1 of Wisconsin NR 140 identifies ES and PALs for selected groundwater constituents. Based on the 1st Quarter Groundwater Monitoring Data submittal (RMT, Inc. May 31, 2011), the following compounds exceeded these standards during the March 2011 sampling round.
Tetrachloroethene (PCE) [PAL = 0.5 ppb / ES = 5 ppb]
Trichloroethene (TCE) [PAL = 0.5 ppb / ES = 5 ppb]
Both PCE and TCE were reported above the PAL (0.5 ug/L) in samples collected from eight groundwater wells located downgradient of the Closed site (License No. 00140), which is indicative of a well-defined VOC plume. The wells are located both inside and outside the design management zone (DMZ). Although two specific wells (W-54R and W-61R) had been exhibiting very gradual decreases in PC concentrations since their peak levels in the mid- to late 1990s, concentration in both these wells appear to have stabilized. TCE concentrations, however, have been exhibiting a slight increasing trend in monitoring well W-2R located in the plume area over the past 5-6 years. The more recent increasing trend is evident from less than 1 ppb in 1995 to over 4 ppb in 2009 for well W-2R. However, several wells that border the plume continue to exhibit non-detectable results for chlorinated VOCs related to the PCE/TCE plume, indicating that the VOC impacts to groundwater associated with the Greidanus Site have not migrated beyond the previously defined lateral extent.
Golder opined in the 2012 Landfill Evaluation Report that the Mallard Ridge Landfill is not in compliance with the applicable regulations and VEW-SW policies due to the increasing trend of groundwater contamination and historical potable well impacts.
Based on the 3rd Quarter 2011 Environmental Monitoring Data Submittal (TRC November, 2011), hardness exceeded its PAL during the September 2011 sampling round. However, in consideration of the information available, this appears consistent with historic trends. There were no PAL or ACL exceedences noted in samples from any of the Active Site (License No. 03244) monitoring wells during March 2011.
6.9 Capital Expenditures and Closure / Post Closure Costs
Included as Appendix E is a comparison of recent assessments prepared by Veolia which project site development, closure and post-closure care costs and timing of those expenditures for the landfill (Summary Comparison of 2011 and 2012 Airspace Memos).

Rev. 0, 6/25/12 Project 120347.003
recommendations for predicted expenditures are included. Overall, we found Veolia’s approach to predicting the timing of cell construction and capping projects and their approach for building cost estimates for those projects to be sound. In most cases, we believe the cost estimates are too aggressive to be considered reliable and in these cases we have recommended alternative costs for modeling purposes.
The costs built into their model reflect most major items of construction. The administration and contingency of 5% built into the model are intended cover miscellaneous expenses or changes to the construction. It is our opinion that these numbers are generally “best case” scenario, and do not encompass typical cost overruns, changes in fuel or material prices, and general change orders that would be expected in most construction projects. Additionally, things like consulting assistance, permitting, and miscellaneous “soft costs” are not called out within these models. In the case of Mallard Ridge, this property was recently acquired by Veolia from Republic, and the staff at Veolia may not have historical costs to back up their cost estimating models for construction. For example in the 2012 Landfill Depletion and Long-Term Care and Closure Model (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) prepared by Veolia for cost estimating, it notes that cell construction costs are based on Hickory Meadow’s (located 140 miles away) costs with additional clay costs. In view of this, and as shown in the Appendix E summary, it is recommended that cost expectations should be increased by at least 15% over the construction costs provided by Veolia unless further construction estimating data can be obtained.
6.9.1 Cell Development, Closure and Post-Closure Cost Notes
Cell development and closure sequencing is laid out in detail in Appendix E. As noted above, Veolia has not yet received bids for construction under their ownership, and cell costs were provided as a range of $250,000 to $340,000 an acre which was A) the price of Hickory Meadows site (clay on-site) and B) added $13.75 CY (2012 clay quote) to bring clay from off-site. Since they do have enough clay for cell 3A previously stockpiled, these costs are best estimates at this time.
6.9.2 Other Capital Expenditures
Veolia budgeted an additional $450,000 for miscellaneous plan modifications, new vehicle scale and paving activities. No further information was provided on these items, including assumptions on length of paving or what the plan modifications would cover. This budgetary number may suffice, and in the cost table we’ve left it “as-is”, but note that there is no way to confirm this cost.
6.9.3 Post-Closure
Annual post closure costs are estimated by Veolia at $193,450 and a total 40 year post closure cost of $7.7 million. While the methodology is acceptable for state agency approval and bonding purposes, things like sedimentation basin cleaning, general

consulting and administrative costs appear underrepresented though other aspects such as snow plowing and blower/flare maintenance or replacement were included for this site. We believe a 10% additional contingency factor on post-closure costs estimated by Veolia is appropriate. There is potential for post-closure care to some degree in perpetuity and likely some financial obligation contained therein. To what degree is unknown at this time but should be considered as part of the long-term cost factors.

6.12 Other Significant Items that are Unique to the site
6.12.1 Contaminated Soil Processing Facility
Mallard Ridge Landfill operates a Contaminate Soil Processing Facility under License No. 3782. The soils are treated on-site with a recently approved (July 2010 WDNR letter) treatment process called Lamda Bioremediation Systems, Inc. (LBSI). The LBSI system uses natural microbes to treat the soil, turning it every 2 to 3 weeks until treatment is completed. The treated soils may then be used as grading layer material in the construction of final cover on-site, provided they meet the specification, testing and placement requirements stated in the previously approved Plan of Operation.
6.12.2 On-site Soil Availability
There is currently a large amount of soil stockpiled on-site at Mallard Ridge Landfill. Between the existing stockpiles and the soils to be excavated during future construction, it is estimated that approximately 1.0M CY will be available after construction, closure, and capping of permitted landfills. In contrast to the excessive soil availability, there is no clay available on-site. Clay is already on-site for the current construction of Cell S 3A, but will need to be borrowed and hauled to the site for future construction projects.
6.12.3 VOC Plume
The main compliance issue found at Mallard Ridge Landfill is the existence of a VOC plume located near the closed, unlined Greidanus Landfill. Monitoring well W-2R located at the base of the landfill has seen Trichloroethene (TCE) values exceeding the PAL standards since the late 1990’s with the peak value occurring as early as 1989. The monitored value has begun a steady increase over the last 5-6 years. Additionally, wells W-54R and W-61R are still seeing a PAL standard exceedence for Tetrachloroethene (PCE) even after a gradual decrease over time and a more recent stabilization of

7 ROLLING HILLS LANDFILL
7.1 General Site Description
The Rolling Hills Landfill (Rolling Hills) is an active industrial, construction and demolition (C&D) landfill facility located in Township 121N, Range 25W, Section 31, Wright County, Minnesota. The existing landfill is operated under a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Solid Waste Permit (permit number SW-60). Rolling Hills Landfill is currently undergoing initial permitting process for an 11,000,000 cubic yard expansion. The landfill is located on 453.8 acres (270 contiguous) of property; 51.8 acres is the permitted footprint and disposal area of which 30-acres has final cover. In 1997 a 40-acre horizontal expansion was approved at the site (New Generation Landfill). The site’s permitted capacity for the closed MSW area is approximately 2,700,000 cubic yards, and 5,316,700 cubic yards for the active industrial waste area. According to VES-SW Historical Waste Intake Reports, the average waste intake over the last four years averaged 418,444 tons with a high of 469,383 tons in 2010 and low of 360,697 tons in 2011. The site has significantly scaled back its intake in 2012 to save airspace until the proposed expansion is approved.
The site began operations in 1965 as a municipal solid waste facility and was acquired in 1994. The landfill was converted to accept industrial and C&D waste in the late 1990’s and stopped accepting MSW. The site includes a closed, 28-acre unlined area with a synthetic cover and active gas extraction system. The physical address of the Landfill is:

Veolia is permitted to operate Veolia ES Rolling Hills Landfill (VSRHL) under Air Emissions Permit (Title V Permit) 17100089- 001. The Title V Permit allows Veolia to operate a candlestick flare, a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, and various insignificant sources. Cornerstone has reviewed the permit conditions of the Title V Permit and the Title V Permit contains the standard permit conditions for MSW landfills not required to install a gas collection and control system (GCCS) but required to have a Title V Permit.
VSRHL is a major source under part 70 since it has the potential to emit of at least 100 tons per year for carbon monoxide: therefore required to have a Title V Permit. The facility is a minor source with regards to New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Detection since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 250 tons per year. VSRHL is subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) since the design capacity is greater than 2.5 million megagrams, but not required to have a GCCS installed because the non-methane organic compounds (NMOCs) emissions are less than 50 megagrams per year.

Title V Permit 17100089-001 original expiration deadline date was January 3, 2012. Based upon Minnesota Administrative Rules, the Title V Permit will not expire if a complete renewal application was submitted within the required time frame. Minnesota regulations require a renewal application be submitted at least 180 days prior to the expiration date. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) received a complete application from Veolia on August 8, 2011, approximately 150 days prior to the expiration date. Based upon the renewal application, Veolia requested an extension to the original deadline date. The information provided to Cornerstone does not indicate if this request was approved. The MPCA has not acted upon the August 2011 renewal application.
7.3.2 Pending / Future / Expansion
Rolling Hills is in the initial process of permitting for a new 11 million cubic yard expansion that will be located at a separate location on the current property. This expansion would extend the landfill life by an additional 25 years, add MSW to the waste stream taken at the landfill and is executed to be approved as early as 2017. Some question exists as to the viability of the request to add MSW to the waste stream in Minnesota as past moratorium on new MSW facilities may remain that prevents this from occurring unless the need can be supported.

7.4 Area, Airspace and Soil Balance
7.4.1 Area
The facility property consists of 453.8 acres, of which 51.8 acres is listed as the permitted facility according to the facility’s current Solid Waste Permit (#SW-60), issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The current permitted disposal area excludes the previously constructed and closed MSW landfill at the facility, which is approximately 28 acres.
7.4.2 Permitted Airspace
Based on the 2012 Landfill Profile Sheet by Golder Associates, the permitted airspace for the Facility was reported as 7,619,985 cubic yards (CY).
7.4.3 Remaining Permitted / Constructed Airspace
Current airspace as of March 29, 2012 airspace survey is [ILLEGIBLE] CY and is 93.4% full based on total permitted airspace. By the end of [ILLEGIBLE] the airspace remaining is estimated to be 343,570 CY.
7.4.4 Remaining Site Life
The 2012 annual airspace calculations report a remaining site life of 1.7 years, which is based upon a predicted waste acceptance rate of 1,548 tons per day, 286 filling days per year, and a projected waste density of 2,650 pounds per CY.
7.4.5 Soil Balance
No information provided on soil balance is available for this site. Based on cost estimating spreadsheets provided, it appears that general fill material is stockpiled on site and clay and granular drainage material are hauled from off-site and are priced to account for those variables. It is unknown where they are bringing those select fill materials from and how much material is available for construction of future cells or capping.
7.5 Liner and Cover System
Rolling Hills Landfill contains two areas: the first is known as the Closed Forest City Road Landfill is an unlined MSW fill area that occupies 28 acres in the northern portion of the site. It is estimated that approximately 1,640,700 cubic yards of air space was filled in this area. This area is designated as Waste Activity SA.
The lined MSW disposal Phases 1 thru 6 occupies approximately 25 acres and is located in the central portion of the site. Portions of these lined phases piggyback on top of the unlined fill area. This area has a design capacity of 3,113,000 cubic yards. Phases 1 thru 5

have been final covered. Phase 6 is no longer open for waste acceptance and has an enhanced intermediate cover system on the south slope since additional waste placement as part of the Phase 10 development will occur in this area. This waste activity is designated as SA 002.
The southern expansion area contains four lined landfill cells (Phases 7 thru 10). This development area occupies approximately 20.5 acres and has a design capacity of 3,263,000 cubic yards. A portion of the eastern side slope has been final covered while the remainder of the eastern cells and a portion of the south slope have an enhanced intermediate cover. This area is designated as IL 001.
7.5.1 Baseliner System
The permitted baseliner system for the facility includes (from top to bottom):
1-ft sand drainage layer
60-mil HDPE geomembrane
2-ft Compacted Clay (1 x 10-7 cm/sec)
Note: There is an unlined landfill portion that was closed with a composite cover.
7.5.2 Final Cover System
The permitted final cover system for the facility includes (from top to bottom):
6-inch Topsoil Layer
6-inch Rooting Layer
1-foot Drainage Layer
40-mil Textured LLDPE Geomembrane
6-inch Grading Layer
7.6 Gas System / Gas to Energy
There is no LFGTE system in place at Rolling Hills Landfill, though 43 extraction wells collect gas through an active LFG control system and flares it. LFG flows are decreasing (Gas Flow: 875 CFM) and the quality of methane at the flare varies but is generally in the low 30’s percent methane by volume.
7.7 Environmental Monitoring
7.7.1 Hydrogeology and Groundwater
The groundwater monitoring network at the facility consists of 24 monitoring wells, which are sampled quarterly by contractors and 7 private water supply wells, which are sampled annually during the fall monitoring events in October.

Project 120347.003
Historically, vinyl chloride levels were detected above the Health Risk Assessment levels (HRL). These higher detection levels are confined to the closed portion of the landfill is unlined with a groundwater monitoring network. Groundwater samples collected in close proximity to the closed, unlined MSW landfill have Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) constituents above the Minnesota HRL and are attributed to landfill activities and migration of landfill gas from the unlined portion of the closed MSW area. Cadmium has historically exceeded the Minnesota HRL; however cadmium levels are below standards in recent sampling events. Total VOC concentrations in samples collected around the site have been detected in mainly upgradient wells and are below HRL.
In general, water quality data from the site has indicated somewhat elevated levels of total dissolved solids (generally 500 to 700 mg/L), iron, and manganese but are typical for groundwater and surface water in this region of the state and reflect the natural variations related to water quality in glacial drift. Total VOC concentrations in samples collected around the site have improved significantly since 2003. Heavy metals have been detected in mainly the upgradient wells, although below any Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Health Risk Limits (HRL).
Based on the EMS data collected at the [ILLEGIBLE]-date (see 2010 Annual Water Quality Report):
The site continues to have only very limited impacts to the groundwater from the older, unlined areas, and generally good water quality over the remainder of the site. Total VOC concentrations reported in 2010 have greatly decreased from levels reported pre-2005.
There were 14 exceedances of MDH water quality standards; nine were for the vinyl chloride HRL, two were for nitrate above MPCA’s intervention limit (IL), and one for cadmium IL in 2010.
Engineered improvements (e.g. liner, engineered final cover, leachate collection system, active gas extraction system) instituted by the landfill at the current site are helping to reduce any potential future impacts.
7.7.2 Storm water
Based on the information provided, the facility is not required to sample any storm water outfalls. Additionally, no information regarding a current General Wisconsin Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit was provided.
7.7.3 Surface Water
A spring water monitoring report must be submitted by June 30 of each year. Data shall be submitted both electronically and in hard copy by the dates specified in the Required Actions and Submittals Table(s) of the permit. The monitoring results must be accompanied by information sufficient to establish the reliability, precision and accuracy of the data.

7.7.4 Leachate
The existing industrial waste disposal facility generates leachate and agreements are currently in place with the City of St. Michael’s Wastewater Treatment Plant and Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) for leachate disposal. These agreements will be modified as needed to include leachate generated from the proposed expansion. Additional local POTWs have expressed interest in accepting leachate from the current site. Total leachate generated between 2007 and 2011 average 3,972,000 gallons with a maximum generation of 5,448,000 gallons in 2011 and a low of 3,442,760 in 2007. Leachate processed at MCES average 575,000 gallons between 2007 and 2011 but ranged from 48,000 in 2011 to 1.59 million gallons in 2007. Leachate processed at St. Michael’s plant averaged 3,397,200 gallons per year between 2007 and 2011 and ranged between 2,806,000 gallons in 2008 to 5,400,000 in 2011. It’s not clear why the volumes in 2011 were so much higher than 2010 (56% higher) but is worth noting.
An annual water and leachate monitoring evaluation report must be submitted by February 1 of each year in accordance with Minn. R. 7035.2585 and 7035.2815, subp. 14, item Q. The report must [ILLEGIBLE] of the monitoring results for the preceding calendar year.
In accordance with the January 13, 2003 MPCA letter regarding the Schwartzman PCB issue and the Onyx FCR Landfill response dated February 7, 2003, PCB monitoring is to be performed annually for a period of ten years on the samples collected from lysimeter LYS-4. These samples have been conducted annually during the fall monitoring events since 2003. The next annual PCB sample scheduled for October 2012 will fulfill the PCB monitoring requirement for lysimeter LYS-4. No PCBs have been detected in any of the lysimeter LYS-4 samples that have been collected since 2003. Lysimeter samples in
2011 showed that five VOCs were detected, related to either landfill gas migration from the unlined portion of the facility or introduced from another source during the installation of detected monitoring equipment in the past.
Leachate samples are collected from the leachate storage tank adjacent to the lined landfill on the west side of the site. Quarterly samples are collected in January, April, July and October.
Leachate head monitoring is also conducted to determine head along the base of the landfill. Typical liquid levels were around 1-4 feet above the landfill base.
7.7.5 Landfill Gas Probes
The site contains 31 landfill gas probes. Semiannual monitoring reports must be submitted by September 30 and February of each year.

The 31 probes did not have any methane hits between March 2007 and November 2011.
7.7.6 Air and Landfill Gas
The site contains 43 gas extraction wells and is routinely tuned to address migration issues both at the unlined closed site and the active site. Landfill gas flow rates varied annually between 2007 and 2011 from 534 CFM to 866 CFM with an average of 698 CFM.
The Title V Permit requires Veolia to monitor the operations from the emission units. These requirements include continuous monitoring of landfill gas flow to the candlestick flare. Cornerstone reviewed the 2011 Annual and Semi-Annual Reports and these reports indicate the GCCS of VSRHL has been operated and monitored in accordance with the permit conditions in the Title V Permit.
7.8 Compliance History
Cornerstone reviewed a list of Notice of Violations (NOV) for the MSW landfills owned and operated in Minnesota by Veolia. Based upon this review, the MPCA has not issued a NOV to VSRHL. Cornerstone is unaware if the MPCA has performed an inspection; however, compliance was confirmed with the annual certification reports that stated VSRHL was in full compliance with the Title V Permit.
Rolling Hills Landfill has a history of elevated groundwater VOC detections, mainly associated with groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells within or adjacent to the unlined portion of the closed MSW area. Total VOC concentrations in samples collected around the site have improved significantly in the last decade. Heavy metals have been detected in mainly the upgradient wells, although below any Minnesota HRLs. There are 14 exceedances of MDH water quality standards; nine were for vinyl chloride HRL, two were for nitrate above MPCA’s intervention limit (IL), and one for a cadmium IL in 2010.

7.9 Capital Expenditures and Closure / Post Closure Costs
Included as Appendix F is a comparison of recent assessments prepared by Veolia which project site development, closure and post-closure care costs and timing of those expenditures for the landfill (Summary Comparison of 2011 and 2012 Airspace Memos). In addition to providing a summary of Veolia’s most recent projections, our recommendations for predicted expenditures are included. Overall, we found Veolia’s approach to predicting the timing of cell construction and capping projects and their approach for building cost estimates for those projects to be sound. In most cases, we believe the cost estimates are too aggressive to be considered reliable and in these cases we have recommended alternative costs for modeling purposes.
The costs built into their model reflect most major items of construction. The administration and contingency of 5% built into the model are intended cover miscellaneous expenses or changes to the construction. It is our opinion that these numbers are generally “best case” scenario, and do not encompass typical cost overruns, changes in fuel or material prices, and general change orders that would be expected in most construction projects. Additionally, things like consulting assistance, permitting,

and miscellaneous “soft costs” are not called out within these models. In view of this, and as shown in the Appendix F summary, it is recommended that cost expectations should be increased by at least 10% over the construction costs provided by Veolia.
Additionally, budgeting for permitting a new expansion as well as infrastructure, wetland mitigation and other construction costs associated with new site development are done using the best available information. Any number of factors can increase these costs as the state agency has the capability of requiring additional study, investigation, redesign and modifications that are not anticipated or budgeted for and we recommend that a higher contingency of 20% be added to those aspects of site development.
All costs presented in this section are based on information provided by the landfill owner.
7.9.1 Post Closure Costs
Post Closure costs [ILLEGIBLE] per year by Veolia. The Main items of long-term [ILLEGIBLE] monitoring are accounted for, but things like snow [ILLEGIBLE] , general consulting and administrative costs appear underrepresented. We believe a 15% additional contingency factor on post-closure costs estimated by Veolia is appropriate. The Golder report indicates a post-closure period of 40 years, which is incorrect per current Minnesota state code that states “Postclosure care and corrective action responsibilities may end 30 years after closure for MSW landfills according to EPA regulations.” However, there is potential for post-closure care to some degree in perpetuity and likely some financial obligation contained therein. To what degree is unknown at this time but should be considered as part of the long-term cost factors. If the expansion is permitted, long-term care costs will be increased as well.
7. 9.2 Other Costs
Other costs not covered in other costing information above for the next five years, including identified future construction costs and costs associated with permitting or property acquisition, are as follows:
Anticipated permitting costs for future expansion identified in Section 7.3.2 are estimated to be $600,000, which were adjusted from the Veolia estimates as noted above.

7.12 Other Significant Items that are Unique to the site
The two most significant facts about Rolling Hills Landfill are the presence of a 28-acre unlined, closed MSW landfill that has impacted water quality measurements in the past and the on-going permitting process to open an additional 11,000,000 CY area for MSW, industrial and C&D waste. While the trend over the past decade shows a decrease in the amount of vinyl chloride and cadmium present in testing wells adjacent to the closed MSW landfill, the potential for continued readings above HRL is present. The expansion is not expected to be permitted and ready to open until 2017. Veolia proposes to modify their current waste stream to accept MSW waste in addition to industrial and C&D waste. Until that time, the amount of accepted waste will be steadily decreasing every year with the intent to not reach capacity until the site is able to expand.

8 SEVEN MILE CREEK LANDFILL
8.1 General Site Description
Veolia Seven Mile Creek Landfill (facility, Seven Mile or VSMCL) is an active solid waste landfill located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, a population of 65,883. This site has been operated since 1986 and was acquired by the current owner in 1996. According to historic waste intake reports, the average waste intake over the last four years averaged 408,173 tons with a high of 459,942 tons in 2011 and a low of 375,668 tons in 2009. Permitted total site airspace is 9,110,076 CY, and has in-place waste densities of approximately 1,900 lbs/CY. There are approximately 3.1 million cubic yards of permitted airspace as of March 2012 based on calculations from an annual survey. Non-hazardous municipal and pre-approved industrial waste and special waste are permitted to be disposed at VSMCL. [ILLEGIBLE] fluff, paper mill sludge, foundry sand and light [ILLEGIBLE].
The site is located on a 330.31 acre property, with the permitted footprint of 79.6 acres. The majority of the site is located within the City of Eau Claire with a small portion within the Town of Seymour. They are zoned non-sewered industrial and heavy industrial, some of which were changed from original zoning in the area. Adjacent land use includes rural residential, agricultural, scrap yards and Eau Claire County Forest Land. The physical address for the site is:
8001 Olson Drive
Eau Claire, WI 54705.
This site also contains a closed landfill that operated from 1978 to 1989, and contains a clay liner, leachate collection and gas extraction system.

Note: Title V Permit 618045450-P01 original expiration date was December 22, 2010. Based upon Wisconsin State Statue 285.66(3) the Title V Permit will not expire if a complete renewal application was submitted within the required time frame. Wisconsin regulations require a renewal application be submitted at least six (6) months but no more than 18 months prior to the expiration date. The WDNR received a complete application from Veolia on June 3, 2010, well within the require timeframe. At this time, the WDNR has not acted upon this renewal application.
The Title V Permit allows Veolia to operate a candlestick flare, a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, and various minor sources. Veolia is also permitted to operate engines at VSMCL; however based upon the May 26, 2010 Title V Permit renewal application, Veolia has requested permit conditions associated with the engines be removed from the Title V Permit since Dairyland Power Corporation owns and operates the engines.

VSMCL is a major source under part 70 since it has the potential to emit of at least 100 tons per year for carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions; therefore required to have a Title V Permit. The facility is a minor source with regards to New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Detection since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 250 tons per year. VSMCL is subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) since the design capacity is greater than 2.5 million megagrams, but is not required to install and operate a gas collection and control system (GCCS) installed because the NMOC emissions are less than 50 Megagrams per year.
8.3.2 Pending / Future / Expansion
In 2011, the site obtained Plan of Operations approval to fill in an area between cells (referred to in the documents as “the saddle” or “the valley”) and expand their footprint as part of a horizontal expansion. Part of the state agency (WDNR’s) requirements was that they lower their maximum waste grades so that the permitted volume remain the same as the pre-expansion conditions.
The site owner has begun [ILLEGIBLE] expansion and vertical expansion to increase the [ILLEGIBLE] footprint and maximize the airspace. An expansion [ILLEGIBLE] need to be justified based on need for the facility and not exceeding a 15 year site life as mandated by state statutes. The potential expansion volume is overstated in Golder’s April 2012 report table which refers to Preliminary Plans for Expansion volume of 6 million cubic yards. The six million cubic yards is noted on Page 4 of the 2012 Airspace Calculation memo, but is not supported by other data provided by the third-party consultant or the Landfill Expansion Summary memo (12.7.3.1.9.3.3). Based on information reviewed an expansion volume of 3.5 million CY for the horizontal expansion and 1.5 million cy for the vertical expansion for a total of up to 5 million CY are the correct expansion volumes. Veolia anticipated beginning permitting (costs noted in Section 1.9 below) in 2013 with approval in 2015.
8.4 Airspace and Soil Balance
Total permitted airspace is 9,110,076 CY. Remaining permitted airspace volume as of March 2012 based on the May 11, 2012 Veolia Air Space Memo is 3.158 million CY, a difference of 162,000 CY from January 2012 information noted in Golder’s report from April 20, 2012. The airspace calculations were performed in standard industry fashion comparing the surfaces of current conditions from aerial topographic survey to a modeled ‘‘top of waste” surface and using computer modeling to develop a volume of airspace remaining.
While the methodology provides actual waste densities of waste in-place through simple calculations (actual waste tonnage divided by actual airspace consumed as of the date of the aerial topographic survey), it doesn’t take into account the waste density increases

due to settlement and tends to overstate compactive efforts when just comparing airspace and tonnage consumed on a one-year interval. Clay is not available on-site for construction and therefore needs to be hauled from off-site approximately a 1-hour trip each way for delivery. These costs are therefore higher in the liner and cap construction costs. In reviewing the available documents, it was noted that the site would be permitting a new clay source for future construction though no further information on location of the new borrow site or cost impacts were given in the resources available.
8.5 Liner and Cover System
The landfill liner system is a composite design; from bottom to top the design consists of:
4-feet thick compacted clay (hydraulic conductivity of 1x10 -7 cm/seconds),
60-mil HDPE geomembrane liner,
12 oz. geotextile and
1-foot thick gravel [ILLEGIBLE] layer.
This encompasses the [ILLEGIBLE] and is the industry standard for liner system for MSW meeting state requirements.
The landfill cover system is also a composite design; from bottom to top, the design consists of:
2.0 foot thick soil barrier layer,
a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL - which acts similarly to clay as a low permeability layer),
40-mil geomembrane,
geonet drainage layer,
2.5-feet thick rooting zone and
6-inches of topsoil.
Additionally, the surface is seeded, fertilized and mulched to provide appropriate surface to prevent runoff and maintain the integrity of the cap.
8.6 Gas System / Gas to Energy
Per the 2010 Annual Report, vertical gas extraction wells, leachate cleanout lines, leachate recirculation lines and manholes are connected to a single blower and flare system with a backup blower and motor. Gas flow as noted in the December 31, 2010 sample data was noted as 2,105 CFM. This is consistent with other memo’s around this time that noted gas production Gas is sent to Dairyland Power Cooperative (DPC) that generates electricity with 4 engine-generators with a total capacity of 2,100 CFM to produce 4.06 MW of electricity. They have a mix of Jenbacher and Kewaunee Engine

Generators and memos from 2010 and 2011 noted a number of issues with these units. A July 26, 2011 memo from the Eau Clair City Health Department to the Veolia Seven Mile Creek Landfill Standing Committee noted that the newer Jenbacher generator was operating but the other three generators were down and two of those appeared to have long-term maintenance problems. As a result of those operating conditions, a large portion of the gas was being flared at the landfill.
The May 29, 2003 Purchase Agreement between DPC (Purchaser) and Veolia Seven Mile Creek Landfill (Seller) section 5.1 details the delivery and price agreement conditions which are based on a price per MMBTU of gas sold to the Purchaser. Subsequently, if the Purchaser (DPC) doesn’t need as much gas when the engines are down, the Seller (Landfill) doesn’t make as much revenue. Typically we see a minimum quantity of gas to be purchased that sets the floor for revenues, but this was not noted in this contract. Instead, in Section 3.1, if the purchaser does not purchase and utilize 75% of the gas, then seller can sell this excess gas to a third party.
Related to assignment of gas rights, section 9.2 details that a “Seller may assign its rights, obligations and interests … to any Affiliate of Seller at any time without the consent of Purchaser.” Section 9.4 detail how either party may disapprove of any assignment. Section 9.5 details Successors and Assigns which details how “neither party shall be entitled to economic benefit, nor to any change in the economic structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a result of any assignment…” Upon initial review of the Purchase Agreement document, no “fatal flaws” appear to be in place that prevents the reassignment of gas selling rights to a new owner and subsequently no impacts to revenue generating ability.
8.7 Environmental Monitoring
8.7.1 Hydrogeology and Groundwater
The groundwater monitoring network at this facility consists of five Subtitle D detection monitoring wells, 29 non-Subtitle D detection monitoring wells and four private monitoring wells. These monitoring wells are sampled and analyzed on a semi-annual basis, typically in April and October.
Groundwater monitoring has historically revealed VOC and iron in several downgradient wells below state standards. According to the environmental liability summary, the VOC impacts were not caused by the landfill as the wells are located on the other side of Seven Mile Creek, which serves as a groundwater divide. Groundwater wells at the site are in detection monitoring. The LER indicates that a closed landfill owned by the Town of Seymour and located approximately 300 feet from the site has vinyl chloride groundwater contamination and was noted in Sector 1 monitoring wells.

Other exceedances noted in the letter to iron, boron, trichlorofluoromethane and nitrates have been noted historically and attributed to background water quality or in the case of boron to an upgradient source. The benzene was not detected in an October 3-4, 2011 monitoring event.
A number of leachate headwells exceeded the 1-foot depth within the landfill in 2010, typically with total depths from 1 to 5 feet above the liner which resulted in temporary suspension of leachate recirculation. This was reported to the WDNR and no response on this particular issue was noted, but may be a potential violation of their operating conditions depending on how this issue is rectified in the future.
8.7.2 Surface water
Seven Mile Creek is the only surface water feature monitored as part of the site. Surface water samples are collected semi-annually in April and October and analyzed for total iron, alkalinity, chloride, [ILLEGIBLE] conductivity, pH, temperature, hardness, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, total phosphorous, cold and elevation. These samples are collected at three site stream locations (upstream, midstream, and downstream).
8.7.3 Leachate
Leachate is collected within the system and recirculated within the non-capped waste mass to accelerate waste decomposition and improve settlement rates and densities within the landfill. Any leachate not recirculated are routed to two leachate lift stations, each of which are sampled semi-annually in April and October and monitored monthly. Samples are analyzed for BOD, alkalinity, cadmium, chloride, hardness, total iron, lead, mercury, manganese, ammonia nitrogen, sodium, VOC scan). Additionally, the leachate is recirculated within the waste mass to accelerate waste decomposition and improved settlement rates and densities within the landfill.
Leachate heads are monitored monthly and submitted semi-annually at 12 existing wells with additional ones to be installed during future construction. The 2010 annual report noted sustained leachate heads greater than one foot at some leachate head wells in Phases 1 through 7. As a result, leachate recirculation was suspended and a number of hypothesis on why the levels were elevated were discussed in this report. Pumping efforts reduced these levels.
The volume of leachate quantities have been similar over the last several years. In the 2010 annual report, Sector 2 leachate sampling noted 4.99 million gallons produced during the year, 6.77 million gallons recirculated and 1.42 million Sector 1 gallons recirculated.

8.7.4 Stormwater
The facility’s stormwater discharged are covered under the State of Wisconsin NPDES permit. A review of the stormwater information indicates there have been no identified stormwater exceedances.
8.7.5 Landfill Gas Probes
Four landfill gas probes in Sector 1 and nine in Sector 2 are monitored quarterly to determine if any off-site migration is occurring. No methane hits were noted in any probe in the 2009 and 2010 annual reports, which are indicative of no off-site methane migration. Further historical data on these probes were not provided.
8.7.6 Air and Landfill Gas
In total, 60 numbered gas collection and monitoring points are noted in the annual solid waste report; 24 from Sector 1 and 36 from Sector 2. Additionally, in the 2010 report, 4 additional odor control [ILLEGIBLE] were installed horizontally and were hooked to the gas system.
The Title V Permit requires Veolia to monitor the operations from the emission units. These requirements include monthly monitoring of the gas collection system, continuous monitoring of landfill gas flow to the candlestick flare and to the engines, and annual monitoring of surface emissions. Cornerstone reviewed the 2011 Annual and Semi-Annual Reports and these reports indicate the GCCS of VSMCL has been operated and monitored in accordance with the permit conditions in the Title V Permit.
8.8 Compliance History
Cornerstone reviewed a list of Notice of Violations (NOV) and based upon this review, the WDNR has not issued a NOV to VSMCL. Compliance was also confirmed by an audit performed by the WDNR in 2011. A compliance report from the WDNR states VSMCL was in full compliance with the permit conditions of the Title V Permit.
8.9 Capital Expenditures and Closure / Post Closure Costs
Included as Appendix G is a comparison of recent assessments prepared by Veolia which project site development, closure and post-closure care costs and timing of those expenditures for the landfill (Summary Comparison of 2011 and 2012 Airspace Memos). In addition to providing a summary of Veolia’s most recent projections, our recommendations for predicted expenditures are included. Overall, we found Veolia’s approach to predicting the timing of cell construction and capping projects and their approach for building cost estimates for those projects to be sound. In most cases, we believe the cost estimates are too aggressive to be considered reliable and in these cases we have recommended alternative costs for modeling purposes.

The costs built into their model reflect most major items of construction. The administration and contingency of 5% built into the model are intended to cover miscellaneous expenses or changes to the construction. It is our opinion that these numbers are generally “best case” scenario, and do not encompass typical cost overruns, changes in fuel or material prices, and general change orders that would be expected in most construction projects. Additionally, things like consulting assistance, permitting, and miscellaneous “soft costs” are not called out within these models. In view of this, and as shown in the Appendix G summary, it is recommended that cost expectations should be increased by at least 10% over the construction costs provided by Veolia.
Additionally, budgeting for permitting a new expansion as well as infrastructure, property acquisition and other construction costs associated with new site development are done using the best available information. Any number of factors can increase these costs as the state agency has the capability of requiring additional study, investigation, redesign and modifications that are not anticipated or budgeted for and we recommend that a higher contingency of 10% be added to those aspects of site development.
8.9.1 Other Costs
Construction costs for phases 8, 9 and 11 for work items that were not completed in initial cell development for things such as temporary gas collection systems and leachate recirculation have not yet been spent and the timing is unknown. These costs are expected to amount to $247,500 based on Veolia’s cost estimates. Based on typical sites, these costs appear low and adding a 15% financial adjustment is recommended as noted in Appendix G.
Anticipated permitting, site acquisition and infrastructure costs for future expansion identified in Section 1.3.2 is estimated to be $2.09 million, of which $1.1 million are anticipated in 2013 and 2014 with the remainder from 2015-2019.
8.9.2 Post Closure Costs
Annual post closure costs are estimated by Veolia at $178,420. While the methodology is acceptable for state agency approval and bonding purposes, things like snow plowing, sedimentation basin cleaning, general consulting and administrative costs appear underrepresented. We believe a 15% additional contingency factor on post-closure costs estimated by Veolia is appropriate. There is potential for post-closure care to some degree in perpetuity and likely some financial obligation contained therein. To what degree is unknown at this time but should be considered as part of the long-term cost factors. If the expansion is permitted, long-term care costs will be increased as well.
