January 11, 2013 California Steel Industries 1 California Steel Way Fontana, CA. 92335 Michael Y. Chu, P.E. Senior Civil Engineer Dennis R. Poulsen, CEP, REA, CHMM Environmental Services, Manager Subject: ProLogis, Fontana WWTP Improvement Plan

Dear Mr Chu and Mr Poulsen: Thank you for inviting PERC Water Corporation to provide this proposal to California Steel Industries (CSI) to upgrade the ProLogis, Fontana Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Based on our visits to the site, operational experience of the existing facility and the information you have provided to our team we have designed an improvement plan that will achieve the goals you have identified. The Improvement Plan outlined within this proposal will provide an efficiently operated facility that will consistently and reliably produce reuse effluent meeting the requirements for use in CSI’s cooling tower. In the proposal to follow we have described eight areas of deficiency within the current flow path and provided a comprehensive remedial plan to address each deficiency. The deficiencies result in frequent failures specifically in the disinfection and biological systems causing effluent to be continually stored and re-treated within existing storage tanks or discharged to alternate locations at substantial cost to the current owner. Project Goals

We understand the goals of this project to be the creation of a reliable stream of water from the ProLogis facility that has acceptably low levels of micro-contaminants and pathogen. The goal will be measured against the Title 22 compliance measures and improvements over the existing effluent measures of pH, Ammonia, TDS, TSS and Chloride. Project Approach

The PERC Water Team will work closely with the CSI to establish a solution that will achieve the goals of the project. In partnership with the CSI we will begin by meeting with Engineering and Environmental staff to review the details of our proposed solution and indentify any desired changes. We shall use the improvement plan described in this proposal as the basis for these discussions.

California Steel Industries, Inc. Page 2 of 6 Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement January 11, 2013 Upon final approval of the design for the facility improvements PERC Water will proceed to implement the improvements and provide them with surety of performance. The cost to implement the improvements has been detailed in this proposal and provided as a fixed fee. We have also included a critical path schedule. The PERC Water Team includes industry professionals that provide all projects with guaranteed performance standards. Accordingly, at construction completion the PERC Water Team will provide start up, commissioning and ongoing operation and maintenance of the improved facility for as long as CSI desires. As outlined in the contract documents the facility will perform to the standards required. Summary of Proposed System Improvements

In the attached “Proposed System Improvements” (Appendix 1), we describe the challenges faced by the existing facility configuration. Though many of the components have been recently replaced; short circuiting, an under loaded biological system, build-up of solids and other specific concerns must be addressed to provide the level of treatment and reliability that CSI needs. Our team recommends the following ten physical design modifications.

Description Benefits and Notes

1. Headbox Improvements Provide ability to reroute high flows during race periods. Prevent additional concrete destruction. Improve useable volume.

2. Separation Wall Allows isolation of trickling filters to avoid flow short circuiting that contributes to poor effluent quality.

3. Pumping to provide a high load to feed Trickling Filter #1,

Improves nitrogen and BOD removal. New pumps improve reliability and provide redundancy at a higher capacity.

4. Provide polishing capacity in Trickling Filter #2

Further improves water quality sent to the tertiary filters.

5. Connect the Equalization Basin to Trickling Filter #1

Increases biological load to trickling filter to improve nitrogen and BOD removal. Free up two sand filters.

6. Upsize the Tertiary Filter Feed Pumps

Prevents process bottleneck and provides redundancy.

7. Install 50 uM Strainers Reduces load on the sand filters, improves final effluent turbidity. Prevents algae from entering the sand filters.

8. Re-plumb the Sand Filters and Replace Media

Provide improved, Title 22 compliant filtration. Reduced turbidity improves disinfection and reduces chemical costs.

9. Install Ultraviolet Light Disinfection Complete disinfection to ensure CSI operator safety and become Title 22 compliant.

10. Reduce use of Chlorine System to Reduce TDS

Improve quality of water reuse, reduce corrosivity of effluent.

Out team also proposes the following integration and controls measure.

Description Benefits and Notes

SCADA System Integration Create a reliable operation especially in the case of equipment malfunction, pipe break, security breach or unexpected behavior. Optimize for better efficiency and maintenance scheduling.

PERC Water Team

We recognize that wastewater treatment facility is an asset to our client. Accordingly, we provide customer service specifically tailored to each client, while managing every aspect of a project. PERC Water’s team of engineers, operators, and construction managers collaborate on all aspects of design and construction, providing an integrated approach that results in a facility that is easier to run and more reliable. The current team has worked together to complete all 22 of PERC Water’s facilities and is currently engaged in a significant upgrade and expansion of the City of Adelanto’s wastewater facility. Resumes and past projects are available in Appendix 3.

Assumptions and Exclusions

We have worked under a number of assumptions while creating this proposal. Changes to the following may have a significant impact on the project and are reason to reestablish the timeframe, pricing and/or scope of the offer. Notably, we assume:

The proposal is for design/build of stated improvements ProLogis retains ownership of all infrastructure and takes ownership of improvements once

completed. As such, PERC Water is not responsible for property of possessory interest taxes All construction work is bonded Includes Builders Risk and General Liability PERC Water caries E&O insurance for Design, Commissioning, Construction and Asset

Management Construction related permitting through the City as necessary is included PERC Water will provide construction oversight through operations staff during active

construction periods. The TDS of influent to the facility will meet the limits required by CSI, no removal of TDS is

provided by the proposed system.

Items not included within the proposal are identified here:

Preparation of additional geotechnical testing and reporting required for design, not anticipated due to site conditions.

Effluent or reuse permitting through the Regional Water Quality Control Board and /or California Department of Health Services unless contracted separately. See discussion which follows. We do not anticipate needing these elements for the current reuse scenario.

Any permitting through La County Sanitation District is not included in this proposal, not anticipated due to discharge location.

Unless contracted separately, PERC Water is not responsible for removal of the biosolids presently built-up at the treatment facility’s equalization basin.

Disposal of biosolids and existing filter media removed by PERC Water from the headbox and sand filters respectively will be performed on a cost plus fee basis.

Prevailing Wage is not included in the cost estimates

We appreciate the opportunity to propose our services to you and build a successful partnership with the California Steel Industries. Sincerely, PERC Water Corporation

permitting.

In the event that the discharge scenario changes or current law/regulations change a reuse permit may be required. This process begins with a waste discharge application which is submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The application must be accompanied by an engineering report which describes the manner in which the treatment facility will comply with the water recycling criteria. When the report is for a project that includes water reuse it must address criteria from Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. In addition, the report must undergo a review by the California Department of Health Services before the Waste Discharge Report (WDR) is issued. Title 22 criteria are designed to protect public health which was not specifically a concern when the water was incorporated into the industrial processes at CSI. PERC Water would be happy to prepare the application and engineering report discussing the aspects of effluent water quality and treatment facility reliability which are known and are outlined in the supporting materials of this proposal. The report will also need to address a number of topics which would be specific to the selected reuse including: recycled water transmission and distribution systems, the type and location of reuse, use area containment measures, use area inspection and monitoring, groundwater safety, and employee training. To fully describe this set of items PERC Water would require planning and information from the reuse clients which we assume would be available. Based on this assumption, the cost to prepare and submit the Engineering Report and Waste Discharge Application for Title 22 reuse would be $20,000.

Proposed SystemImprovements

SECTION 1 – PROPOSED SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS

1.1 EXISTING FACILITY CHALLENGES

The existing facility is challenged by:

• Biological inefficiencies and poor process flow routing, • An inability to produce water quality within contractual limits, • A requirement to treat flows significantly beyond the average day capacity, • The need to add chloride for disinfection even though it increases corrosiveness, and finally • Inadequate electrical power and controls reduce reliability and prevent optimization.

The following is a summary of the eight deficiencies that we are proposing solutions to improve:

Deficiency 1 – Short Circuiting Leaks Contaminants to Effluent

Screened influent has the ability to flow to the trickling filter recirculation pump station where a portion of the load can quickly flow directly to tertiary filtration and disinfection.

Deficiency 2 - Load Dilution Reduces Ammonia Oxidation Rate

Currently load is split between both trickling filters causing unwanted dilution in concentration of ammonia and other contaminants, which reduce first order biological removal rates. Also, water is intentionally over-processed through the plant and resent back to the head of the facility, which further dilutes the load to the biology.

Deficiency 3 – Filtration Upstream of Secondary Process Limits Biology

The first pair of sand media filters is used to remove particulates prior to discharge of screened influent to the trickling filters. The organic and nutrient load compared to ammonia is already low compared to traditional wastewater treatment influent, and further reducing organic and nutrient load decreases the ammonia oxidation efficiency.

Deficiency 4 – Filtration Media Too Big for Turbidity Removal, Not Title 22 Compliant

All four sand media filters contain excessively large-grain size sand that is not as effective at removing turbidity as smaller-grain media and is not California DPHS approved for Title 22 service.

Deficiency 5 – Chlorination System Increases Corrosivity of Effluent

Large doses of chlorine are needed to disinfect water with moderate turbidity; the addition of sodium and chloride salts to the water causes the effluent to be more corrosive.

Deficiency 6 – Filtration and Chlorination System Too Small to Achieve Consistent Low Pathogens


The filtration system as currently operated has too high of flux to achieve consistently low turbidity, and the chlorination system does not have adequate volume for appropriate retention time to achieve the needed contact time for pathogen control.

Deficiency 7 – Electrical Systems not Properly Sized and Do Not Meet Code

The electrical system at the filtration and disinfection area is insufficient to meet the electrical loads existing or proposed and requires upgrade.

Deficiency 8 – Filtration solids are sent to the Equalization Basin Causing Massive Solids Build Up

Biological material and inorganic suspended particles generated in the process are sent to the filters, where they are removed, but are discharged to the equalization basin. The equalization basin is filling with a large amount of solids which cause problems for operations staff and reduce the available equalization volume. The solids should be removed and new solids should not be sent to the basin where they will accumulate again.

1.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS

The treatment system will be upgraded in the 10 steps as shown in a short period of time without having to discharge untreated sewage offsite. The improvements will increase capacity, enhance reliability and consistency of treatment performance, improve effluent water quality which will reduce corrosivity and unwanted bio-growth during reuse, and decrease the chances of pathogen formation and achieve Title 22 Compliance if permitted. In addition to the 10 improvement measures described, a new master control panel will be installed and connected to new and existing equipment to monitor run status and run times, log information for trending analysis, and provide alarming in the event of equipment failure.

Exhibit 2. The proposed improvements are organized in 10 steps as shown in.

Exhibit 3. The following page has an illustration of the set up used to model the system.


A BioWin computer model of the proposed renovated facility was performed as part of this proposal. The equalization basin will be operated to store diurnal peaks of up to 50,000 during normal operation, such that influent is not stored in the basin for more than one day. The trickling filters were modeled to be in series, with a 2X recirculation through the discharge spray header. Both 70,000 gallons per day (gpd) and 140,000 gpd were modeled with influent total TKN equal to 60 mg/L and influent total COD equal to 300 mg/L, typical peak day influent concentrations.

Exhibit 3. Process Flow Schematic of Proposed System Shown in BioWin Computer Simulation

Exhibits 4a and 4b show projected dissolved concentrations of TKN and COD in the influent, after trickling filters #1, after trickling filter #2, and in the effluent for an inflow of 70,000 gpd at 20 degrees C.

Exhibits 5a and 5b show projected dissolved concentrations of TKN and COD in the influent, after trickling filters #1, after trickling filter #2, and in the effluent for an inflow of 140,000 gpd at 20 degrees C.

Since the strainers and filters will remove any particulate TKN and COD, the dissolved TKN and COD are the parameters most important to consider and represent the total TKN and total COD projected in the effluent recycled water. Ammonia is generally about 50-80% of TKN, and TKN was used instead of ammonia because the model more accurately predicts TKN.

As shown in Exhibits 4 and 5, the predicted effluent total TKN and COD concentrations in the new configuration will easily meet the contractual requirements for TKN/ammonia, and the COD will be very low which indicates that effluent TSS/turbidity will be very low and conducive for UV disinfection.

Detailed Description of improvements and Advantages of Renovated System

Improvement #1 – Headbox

Table 1. Proposed Improvement Measures for Improvement #1

The existing headbox is important because during unusual inflow conditions, such as during race periods when high flow is present, flow can be withdrawn from the equalization basin and distributed to any of the used or unused basins for additional storage or treatment. The existing headbox wet well has unacceptably high quantities of solids which will be removed by vactor truck, replacement of one of the two pumps with a new non-clog submersible unit, and repair of the two existing units to be used as spares. A new safety net will be installed to meet OSHA standards.

Improvement #2 – Separation Wall


The two trickling filters shall be isolated and placed in series to allow greater load to the first trickling filter and polishing in the second filter, and avoid short circuiting of flows. In order to isolate the two trickling filter pumping systems (see improvements #3 and #4), trickling filter #1 recirculation pump station and trickling filter #2 recirculation pump station will have a new concrete wall poured in between with a manual sluice gate to connect the two in an emergency. The existing concrete walls in the troughs and wet wells are in poor condition, and will be sandblasted and coated with an epoxy system to avoid additional degradation. The new wall will also be epoxy coated when poured.

During the construction of these renovated walls, a temporary dam and portable pumping system will be used to operate the plant using trickling filter #2 only, with temporary hose run above the asphalt to route flows in and out of the system. The existing mechanical equipment, piping, and steel decking will be removed to prepare for installation of improvements #3 and #4.

Improvement #3 – Trickling Filter #1 (TF#1) Pumping


In the newly formed recirculation pump station #1 which feeds trickling filter #1, new pump bases will be secured to the concrete floor with stainless steel pump guide rails, new non-clog submersible pumps, new swing check valves, new plug valves, and piping and supports will be installed to discharge water to trickling filter #1 gravity headbox. Two pumps and two valves will be installed such that the capacity exists

with one unit out of service. From the headbox a new overflow 8” pipe will be installed so that in case of over pumping, flows will return by gravity back to the recirculation pump station wet well. In addition to the continuous discharge of pumped flows to the headbox, an electrically actuated modulated stainless steel ball valve with a flowmeter will be installed to transfer flow to recirculation pump station #2 which feeds trickling filter #2. A new level transducer will be installed to control the transfer of flows to recirculation pump station #2. Transfer of flows will be carefully controlled to achieve consistency and to maintain a relatively constant level in the recirculation pump station, with the ability to partially equalize flows in the bottom of the trickling filter during periods of higher flow. The new pumping system will be able to accommodate larger peak flows to match the increased tertiary treatment capacity of 100 gpm (144,000 gpd). The existing trickling filters are oversized biologically and can accommodate 100 gpm sufficiently and meet contractual water quality goals for ammonia, TSS, and pathogens.

Improvement #4 – Trickling Filter #2 (TF#2) Pumping


In the newly formed recirculation pump station #2 which feeds trickling filter #2, new pump bases will be secured to the concrete floor with stainless steel pump guide rails, new non-clog submersible pumps, new swing check valves, new plug valves, and piping and supports will be installed to discharge water to trickling filter #2 gravity headbox. Two pumps and two valves will be installed such that the capacity exists with one unit out of service. From the headbox a new overflow 8” pipe will be installed so that in case of over pumping, flows will return by gravity back to the recirculation pump station wet well. A new level transducer will be installed to control the transfer of flows to recirculation pump station #2. Discharge of flows from recirculation pump station #2 will be carefully controlled to achieve consistency and to maintain a relatively constant level in the recirculation pump station, with the ability to partially equalize flows in the bottom of the trickling filter during periods of higher flow. The new pumping system will be able to accommodate larger peak flows to match the increased tertiary treatment capacity of 100 gpm (144,000 gpd). The existing trickling filters are oversized biologically and can accommodate 100 gpm sufficiently and meet contractual water quality goals for BOD, ammonia, TSS, and pathogens.

Exhibit 7. Existing Trickling Filter #2 Headbox Will Receive New Discharge from Recirculation Pump Station #2 and a New Emergency Overflow will be Installed to Return Flows to Pump Station

Improvement #5 – Connect the Equalization Basin to Trickling Filter #1


Instead of the current configuration which discharges equalization basin water to two of the four filters, equalized water shall be discharged to trickling filter #1. This will increase the load to the trickling filters and will facilitate better biological growth. It will also free up the use of the filters for tertiary treatment and create a doubling of tertiary treatment capacity. Thus, a new 4” diameter HDPE line will be installed to connect the existing equalization basin discharge pumps to trickling filter #1 recirculation. The equalization basin will be used consistently for two reasons: 1) to shave daily peak flows during the day and run an equal quantity of flow through the plant at night and 2) handle large flow events and meter them through the plant on subsequent days.

5 Item 5 - Connect EQ to TF#1a connect 60' of 4 HDPE


Improvement #6 – Upsize Filter Feed Pumps

Table6. Proposed Improvement Measures for Improvement #6

In order to handle additional flows through the tertiary process, up to 100 gpm, and to provide additional pressure through new strainers (see improvement #7) and new smaller-grain filter media (see improvement #8), the discharge pumps from trickling filter #2 will be upgraded to accommodate the larger flows with one unit out of service. The upgraded pumps will continue to have VFDs to transfer flows carefully from trickling filter #2 to achieve consistency and to maintain a relatively constant level in the recirculation pump station, with the ability to partially equalize flows in the bottom of the trickling filter during periods of higher flow.

Improvement #7 – New 50uM Strainers


In order to improve the turbidity of the filtered water for better disinfection performance, and to reduce the load on the filters, a new set of 50 micrometer (uM) strainers will be installed upstream of the filters. The new strainers will filter out larger solids and algae coming from the trickling filters or carried through from the equalization basin, so the media filters can better remove fine particulates and receive polymer injection without clogging. The capacity of the strainers will be 100 gpm (144,000 gpd) with one unit out of service. The strainer system will be installed near the filters and will contain a manufacturer supplied control panel that will be networked into the main control system.

Improvement #8 – Re-plumb Filters and Replace Media


The existing filter media, consisting of larger pebbles as shown in Exhibit 9, will be replaced with Title 22 compliant smaller-grain silica sand material which is more conducive to turbidity removal. In addition to the two existing taller filters, the two shorter upstream filters will be renovated and use for tertiary filtration. Two new flowmeters and electric actuated valves will be installed to properly split flows from trickling filter #2 to the two pairs of filters, to avoid unbalanced flow due to varying filter height and differential pressure. In addition, all four filters will be outfitted with new compressors, tubing, and controls to optimize filter performance. With three of the four filters in operation, and with filter diameter of four feet, and a Title 22 filter flux rating of 5 gpm/ft2, the capacity will be nearly 180 gpm (250,000 gpd). This additional filter capacity creates an opportunity to reduce the import of potable water at CSI for cooling. Though it is not part of this proposal, the alkaline wastewater source from CSI and other clean water sources may be processed through the filters and prepared for disinfection and reuse.

Improvement #9 – New Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection


In order to reduce the addition of sodium hypochlorite (chlorine) to the effluent, which converts to calcium and chloride salts which add to scaling formation and corrosivity, ultraviolet disinfection (UV) will be used to remove pathogens in conformance with Title 22 regulations. New stainless steel pressurized reactors will be provided to disinfect 100 gpm with one unit out of service. The UV system will be provided with a manufacturer supplied control panel and a flowmeter to control the number of units activated for treatment. The UV reactors will be installed below the elevation of the filters and chlorine contact tanks such that the UV reactors are always flooded and the chlorine contact tank level can be varied to accommodate variable demands. Although it is not part of this proposal, additional or larger UV units may be provided to match the capacity of the filters if it is desired to accept additional flows for tertiary treatment above 100 gpm up to 250 gpm.

Improvement #10 – Use Chlorine System for Residual Only


Once the UV disinfection system is in place and operational, the existing tablet chlorination system, which is currently undersized for full disinfection contact time, will be used to provide a small quantity of chlorine residual in order to maintain the downstream recycled water distribution system free of pathogens and safe for reuse.

SCADA System

Finally, all new and existing major pieces of equipment and instruments will be wired and networked to a new control and SCADA system for more efficient, reliable, and consistent operations. Exhibit 10 shows an example of SCADA systems developed for comparable projects.

1.3 LIFE OF THE FACILTIY

Due to the high quality materials and construction practices used during the improvements, (ex. Stainless steel header piping) and selection of quality equipment (ex. UV equipment) we believe that the proposed life of the facility will be extended to a projected 40+ years.

1.4 OPTIONAL IMPROVEMENT CONSIDERATIONS (ITEMS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL)

Increased Ultraviolet Disinfection Capacity

Second, additional capacity will be provided up to 144,000 gpd throughout. Also, as described in the tertiary filtration and disinfection sections of improvements #8 and #9, additional flows up to 250,000 gpd in the filters can be processed, and an adder is available for larger UV equipment to increase the capacity to 250,000 gpd. If the redundant UV unit is utilized, then the UV capacity will be >200,000 gpd, but larger equipment is available as a bid adder if desired. Also, if alkaline water or other sources in addition to sewage are processed through the facility, and more than just tertiary treatment is needed, the trickling filters are large enough to process 250,000 gpd. In this case, for a bid adder, pumping and valving systems could be easily upsized to accommodate larger flows through the secondary process also.

Scaling Control Pilot

Understand that scale formation and corrosivity of the recycled water is beginning to be problematic for downstream uses. Although as part of the improvements reduced ammonia, reduced chloride, and reduced calcium will be achieved, the chloride, sulfate, and salinity will continue to exceed contract limits unless RO is installed. In order to improve downstream performance of the cooling towers without desalination, based on recent research at Arizona State, we have been offered at no additional cost the use of a trial pilot piece of equipment using electromagnetic energy to transform the recycled water to be less scale forming. If interested, we can setup the pilot unit to evaluate improvement, and if effective, for an additional cost we can offer to purchase and install the unit to reduce scaling and blowdown in heat exchangers, cooling towers, or other downstream uses.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

1

PERC WATER CORPORATION

PERC Water Corporation is an innovative water infrastructure company that develops, designs, builds, operates and manages water infrastructure throughout the United States. We have designed 60 water infrastructure projects over the past 14 years, 20 of which we have built and placed into operation. Our unique project approach results in certainty of cost, schedule and water quality for our clients. PERC Water can uniquely provide such certainty at an early stage of a project life by leveraging our Customized Design Report (CDR™) program as further described in this Company Overview.

For more information, please refer to our website at www.percwater.com.

PHILOSOPHY

Johan Perslow, P.E., PERC Water’s founder, made our vision clear from the start:

“We don’t use water, we just borrow it.”

The PERC Water guarantee is simple:

Our facilities will produce effluent that will meet or exceed the applicable regulatory requirements for such facility consistent with the design of such facility.

We assume the risks associated with designing, building and operating water infrastructure and provide all guarantees at the conceptual phase of the project.

WHY PERC WATER?

PERC Water’s differentiation in the marketplace includes:

Certainty of Cost, Schedule and Performance

As a result of PERC Water’s experience and predictable design, the company provides certainty of cost, schedule and asset performance to its clients, and can offer such certainty at the early conceptual design stage of an infrastructure development project. The traditional development process, where cost, schedule and performance are unknown until the end of a construction project, often results in cost overruns, unfavorable surprises and potential litigation. Our integrated delivery methods, previous experience and trademarked design allow us to provide cost and schedule certainty in an uncertain market. The result for our client is low project risk and certain project outcome that avoids the pitfalls of a traditional design-bid-build approach.

See Section 2 for more information regarding allocation of risk and the certainty provided by our alternative delivery methods.

Experience

PERC Water has a proven track record of compliant water recycling facilities across the southwest US. We have designed 60 facilities, 20 of which we successfully constructed and put into operation. Each facility utilizes our trademark design and has demonstrated successful long-term life cycle performance. As demonstrated by the reference letters included in the Appendix, our clients are satisfied with the projects we have developed, and the certainty we offer. In addition, we have a track record of long-standing strategic partnerships with other industry experts and successful companies who have provided additional reference letters included in the Appendix. The result of this experience is our ability to continue offering clients certainty of cost, schedule and performance.

See Section 3 for a complete list of our project experience and case studies on specific facilities.

Total Solution®

Our trademarked Total Solution approach enables us to perform every aspect of the development of a water recycling facility from initial conceptual design through full operation of the facility. This is in stark contrast with the traditional project development approaches that typically involves at least seven principal parties and three separate contracts. Our Total Solution approach is proven to result in cost-saving construction techniques and a more economical design, which reduces life-cycle cost and limits our clients’ risk.

See Section 2 for an overview of our trademarked Total Solution and PPP Delivery Methods.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Efficient Design

PERC Water’s trademarked and award-winning design allows for an efficient and environmentally-sensitive solution to water recycling. Our design reduces a client’s environmental footprint by approximately 70%, as the design requires only a fraction of the property typically set aside for traditional campus-style treatment plants. All process tanks are concealed underground, allowing for an odorless and noise-free surrounding environment. The operations building, which is constructed atop the underground tanks, is unobtrusive, aesthetically-pleasing and designed to complement the surrounding community. Our modular, scalable trademarked design can be tailored and phased for any capacity or environment and its compact design requires less overall facility management as a result of four key design features:

1. Process tanks utilize common wall construction methods

2. Process tanks are constructed underground

3. Process tanks are covered with a concrete slab

4. Operations Buildings are constructed above the process tanks

See Section 2 for an overview of our unique trademarked design.

Private Investment

PERC Water is considered an industry expert in the utilization of public-private partnerships, and in particular we developed the first 100% privately funded water recycling facility in the US. We have developed strategic partnerships with prominent infrastructure investment firms who are seeking mission critical infrastructure investments with a low risk profile, such as water and wastewater related assets. In the current market, private financing sources are readily available to be deployed, typically without the timing constraints that are required for State Revolving Fund and/or municipal bond financing arrangements, and can accelerate the timing of a new project launch and completion.

The key advantage of utilizing project financing is that these investors focus on lifecycle perspective, whereby they invest up front in design and construction costs necessary to deliver the appropriate level of service over the life of the project and remove the uncertainty of project financing and future capital expenditures from clients.

See Section 2 for an overview of our approach to project delivery.

Customized Design Report (CDR™)

PERC Water’s unique trademarked CDR program includes a comprehensive plan for any given project that results in certainty for our clients. In contrast to traditional design-bid-build which provides no certainty to Owner’s the CDR is geared towards outlining all expectations for project team members at the outset

COMPANY OVERVIEW

4

of a project. PERC Water can submit a CDR within 90 days that will include the following critical components:

30% level design certainty of life-cycle cost certainty of construction schedule certainty of water quality certainty of energy consumption certainty of project financings certainty of facility performance

PERC Water has prepared 60 CDRs in the last 14 years, which has resulted in the development of 20 recycling facilities in the Southwest US. The CDR is the foundation of every PERC Water project and is intended to clearly align the expectations of the Owner and PERC Water.

Advanced Water Solutions, Automation and Software Solutions

PERC Water’s integrated engineering and operations teams provide a comprehensive approach to water recycling facility performance and operation from the initial design stages through facility long-term operation. As a result of this in-house team, we have developed a number of innovative approaches, technological tools and experienced-based methodologies that further add to our industry leading efficient approach to water infrastructure. We have integrated, adapted and developed additional technology and tools that increase the efficiency and operational capability of our facilities that further reduces risk, and provides visibility to mission critical operating assets.

PERC Water has developed Central PERC™, a web application utilized to centralize all underlying operational databases such as SCADA, maintenance databases, laboratory records, energy tracking and other critical databases. Central PERC is accessible on iPad, iPhone and other similar smart devices.

See Section 2 for an overview of our additional engineering services and an overview of Central PERC.

Recycled Water Value

PERC Water’s facilities are considered both treatment and production assets. Recycled water produced from the facilities has proved to be a resource that adds quantifiable value in alternative uses to utilizing potable water. This produced recycled water can be traded or recharged to groundwater supplies to generate new revenues that in certain regions could fund the entire life-cycle cost of a new facility. Heavy focus on monetizing recycled water supplies in both Greenfield and Brownfield concessions further allows us to reduce treatment costs to clients.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Greenfield Concessions

Greenfield projects are generally defined as projects that are new and lack constraints imposed by existing infrastructure. The term “greenfield” is generally referred to as a project that is brand new e.g. a new water recycling facility, and although it may be replacing existing infrastructure, the new facility is independent and intended to serve a new community or to replace an existing facility.

Brownfield Concessions

Brownfield projects are generally defined as projects that include existing infrastructure whereby firms will improve efficiency and make needed investments to rehabilitate or expand existing infrastructure. To the extent efficiencies can be realized, it is possible to monetize such efficiencies into new investments of initial cash funding to the client for alternative uses. Brownfield concessions are not a new concept, as they have been well utilized in Europe, Canada and Australia for transportation, toll roads and other infrastructure projects.

Engineering Services, Automation, Central PERC™, PERC Energy and Regulatory Permitting

PERC Water’s engineering and operations teams provide a comprehensive approach to water recycling facility performance and operation from the initial design stages through facility long-term operation. As a result of this in-house team, we have developed a number of innovative approaches, technological tools and experienced-based methodologies that further add to our efficient approach to water infrastructure.

FACLITY CASE STUDIES

PERC Water has successfully designed, constructed and operated water recycling facilities across the United States. The following is an overview of some PERC Water’s facilities.

Santa Paula Water Recycling Facility

PERC Water and its financial partner Alinda Capital were contracted to Design/Build/Operate/Finance (DBOF) a 3.4 MGD (expandable to 4.2 MGD) PERC Water ASP® MBR for the City of Santa Paula, California. The project is the first of its type under California Government Code Section 5956-5956.10, allowing for a DBOF delivery method. They were awarded the DBOF contract in May 2008, broke ground in July 2008 and construction was completed in December 2009. The new Facility was been treating 100% of the City’s wastewater beginning May 13, 2010, seven months earlier than the compliance date issues by the Regional Board.

PERC Water utilized more than 85% local labor for the construction (more than 141,000 total man hours) and invested more than $4.5 million in the local economy (not including the local sales tax revenue).

PERC Water operates the new Facility under a 30-year asset management service agreement. The Facility utilizes advanced treatment process technologies incorporating MBR (membrane bio-reactors), aerobic sludge digestion, and UV (ultraviolet) disinfection that produce CA Title 22 compliant effluent. The Facility has approximately 11,600 square feet of above tank buildings that include 3,100 square feet of finished office space.

SPA 3 Water Recycling Facility

PERC Water is currently under contract to provide Design/Build/Operate services for a Regional WRF for Special Planning Area Three (SPA 3) located in the City of Surprise, Arizona. Phase 1 was completed in September 2008 and will provide a 1.8 MGD treatment capacity. Present design allows for future capacity to 3.6 MGD on the existing site. The facility construction is presently complete although start up has been delayed due to the lack of residential growth. PERC Water is contracted to provide operation and maintenance services when wastewater becomes available.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
