A r TD DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENT USPCI, INC. (herein referred to as "USPCI") a Delaware corporation with its principal office at Houston, Texas and its local office at Rosemount, Minnesota, makes the following representations and commitments to the CITY OF ROSEMOUNT a Minnesota municipal corporation located in Dakota County, Minnesota (herein referred to as "City"). WITNESSETH: 1. Project - Facility USPCI proposes to locate in the City a non - hazardous industrial waste containment facility ( "the Facility or "the Project. ") as generally.described in both the Environmental Assessment Report dated November 28, 1988, prepared by Environmental Engineering and Management, Ltd., a copy of which Environmental Assessment Report (herein referred to as "EAR ") has been provided to.the City as well as the Preliminary Permit Application dated Apr; 1 l oco T -7v 1 - r - -�- r - AA.6\_A vlias also pr epared by Environmental Engineering and'Management, Ltd. The Facility will be located on approximately 240 acres of land ( "the Property") as . is more specifically described on the attached Exhibit "A ", which is incorporated herein by reference. The proposed Facility is a At of the art" project and will allow containing of non- hazardous industrial waste in a manner vastly superior to the way these wastes are presently being disposed of in Dakota County. 2. Environmental Impact Statement USPCI has affirmatively requested an Environmental Impact Statement ( "EIS ") of the Project which study is presently underway. r10/11 /89 3. Approvals It is understood that various governmental approvals are required for the Project including approvals at the federal, state, and regional as well as local level. 4. Economic Benefits The Facility, in addition to providing a "state of the art" facility for the handling of non- hazardous industrial waste, will also provide economic incentives from USPCI as delineated in this Commitment to the City as required,in conjunction with permits and approvals required under the City Zoning Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, USPCI hereby represents and commits to the City as follows: S. City Approval The commitments herein contained are subject to USPCI obtaining all governmental approvals required for the Project, including but not limited to all permits, authorizations and approvals from the City required to allow construction, operation and.maintenance of the Facility. The rommi + are , ,A j f-4 ^"-A ....__ 4-U- - _ a.vi a.aac�i. vvaaui....a.vaaca . a 11k,011 1..11= Ssi3ance, existence and continuance of all permits, approvals and authorizations required to allow construction, operation and maintenance of said Facility. 6. USPCI to Proceed USPCI agrees to construct, operate and maintain the Facility on all or a portion of the Property, as outlined in the EAR, subject to obtaining all necessary approvals and subject to such modification, if any, as may be required, and agreed to by USPCI resulting from the EIS or reasonable mandates from other approving authorities. } - 2 - i 7. Tax Increment Financing USPCI understands the capabilities of the City or its HRA to establish and operate TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS in their program to expand industrial and commercial development in the City. In an effort to assist in this effort USPCI will not object to the City or its HRA in establishment of such a district to include the Property. 8. Park Dedication Fees USPCI recognizes the City of Rosemount's Park and Recreation development program and the methods the City uses to fund this program by collection of "Park Dedication Fees ". USPCI also recognizes. the equivalent payment which would be required to be paid if their Project would be required to go through a platting process. Because the City could require this platting and a specific park dedication fee would be required, although the City is not requiring that the Property be platted, USPCI will voluntarily make anon- refundable payment of $85,000 in lieu of the park dedication fee. This is the amount-of ten (10) acres equivalent dedication or t en fin% times the current per acre value for this purpose. (1989 value of $8,500 per acre = $85,000). The payment may be made in five (5) equal annual installments of $17,000 each. The first installment shall be due on the date the City issues a permit for the Project and subsequent installments shall be due annually thereafter on the same day each year for the next four (4) years. If USPCI decides to pay the fee in installments, it agrees to furnish the City an irrevocable letter of credit to guarantee , r payment of the unpaid portion of the fee. The bank issuing the letter of credit and the form of the letter of credit shall be approved by the City. 9. Option to Purchase At such time as the storage cells are completed and closed, and the Facility will no longer be accepting waste, the City will have an option for a period of 12 months immediately subsequent to closing of the last cell, to purchase that portion of the Property not required for closure and maintenance of the Facility. Said option right will terminate, if not exercised prior thereto, 12 months after closure of the last cell. The purchase price will be an amount equal to 85 percent of the value of the Property being purchased, as said value is determined by appraisal. USPCI shall select one appraiser familiar with real estate values in Dakota County and the City shall select one appraiser familiar with real estate values in Dakota County. The two appraisers shall select a third aTT1Ta 1 L^cY .7 L. L. .�. J..l..��� C .. iracL an a. I..11I CC appraisers shall proceed to determine the fair market value of the Property. If the two appraiser. selected by the City and USPCI are unable to agree on the third appraiser, they shall apply to the Chief Judge of the District Court in Dakota County, Minnesota and the Chief Judge shall select the third appraiser. Any valuation agreed upon by a majority of the appraisers shall be accepted as final by both USPCI and the City. Payment shall be in cash, at closing, unless otherwise agreed by the parties with the Property being sold in an "as is" condition, free of all encumbrances and with real estate taxes due in the year of closing pro -rated to date of - 4 - closing. USPCI shall provide to the City an Abstract of Title or Registered Property Certificate, evidencing marketable title, or title insurance from a title insurance company acceptable to the City. USPCI shall have the right to determine which acreage is not required for closure and maintenance and is therefore subject to the terms of this option, which determination shall be made at the time of closure of the last cell. Upon closure of the last cell, USPCI shall notify the City in writing of this event, receipt of which notice shall commence the 12 month option period. Notice of exercise of the option, during the option term, shall be in writing delivered to USPCI. Closing shall be within 90 days of notice of exercise of the option. The City may, during the term of the option, exercise same and purchase the Property, but shall not be under any obligation to do so. If prior to closure of the final cell, a portion of the Property has been conveyed to the Metropolitan Waste Control Facility for its use and purposes, as is presently contemplated with reference to approximately ten (10) acres of the subject Property, said Property shall be excluded from the Property to which the option rights shall apply. If requested by the City, USPCI will execute and deliver to the City a real estate option in standard recordable form, setting forth the terms of this option. 10. City Service Charge a. Basis for Charge USPCI recognizes certain aspects of the prior - approval review, placement and operation of a Facility of the nature proposed in a residential /rural type city has required and will further require the City to expend funds - 5 - f for the pre - approval review and the ongoing monitoring of the operation of the Facility, the administration of the permit for the Facility and interaction with'USPCI and state, county and federal agencies. The City may incur other costs associated with the Facility and its impact on the City. b. Base Service Charge To offset those costs, USPCI will, for each ton of waste deposited into the Facility, pay the City a City Service Charge. The City Service Charge which shall initially be imposed,.commencing with the first day the Facility accepts waste, shall be computed at the rate of $2.75 per ton, for each ton accepted and disposed of in the Facility. Tonnage computation for the City Service Charge shall be the same as for the Waste Generation Charge. This City Service Charge shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, and offset, as hereinafter provided. Payments shall be made monthly to the City at 2875 - 145th Street West, Rosemount, Minnesota 55068, or such. ot her locat .W des.Ly,ia�cu In wrlting by the Cit y Y y. Payments for each month shall be due by the 15th day of the following month. C. Generator Charge Adjustment At the present time it is anticipated that the initial per ton fee charged by USPCI to . waste generators ("Waste Generator Charge^') will be $75.00 per ton, and the City Service Charge payable to the City, is predicated on that anticipated Waste Generator Charge. If the Waste Generator Charge is increased or decreased by USPCI (other than as a result of an increase in amounts due governmental entities after the Facility commences operation, such as special taxes, permit fees, etc., which governmentally required increases shall not impact the per ton charge due the City pursuant to this paragraph) then the City Service Charge shall be adjusted pro- rata. Accordingly and by way of example, if there is a ten (10) percent increase in the Waste Generator Charge (other than governmentally mandated) then the City Service Charge shall likewise be increased by ten (10) percent. Adjustment based on this subparagraph (c) shall be applied to the previously existing City Service Charge, before the following adjustments or offsets. d. Adjustment for Future Required, Legislatively Imposed, or Negotiated Payments If there are future required, negotiated or legislatively mandated payments due to the City by USPCI (other than as provided herein) the intent of which is to respond to impacts resulting from the Facility, such payments shall be an offset against and a reduction of the amounts due the City pursuant to this paragraph. Accordingly and by way of example if the Minnesota Legislature or other governmental entity with authority to do so mandates that USpC� shall pay the City a tax, or other imposition, the amount of said tax or imposition shall reduce the City Service Charge, dollar for dollar, due pursuant to this paragraph. e. Consultant Offset To assist the City in evaluating the Application of USPCI for necessary rezoning and permit issuance, the City has, and will hereafter retain outside consultants (e.g. legal, environmental, etc.) to assist it. USPCI -has agreed to reimburse the City for these outside consultant expenses, pursuant to a letter agreement dated in August 1989. Pursuant to said letter agreement, USPCI has - 7 - deposited funds with the City and may hereafter deposit additional funds with the City, to reimburse the City for outside consultant expenses. At the time of City issuance of the last permit required by USPCI to construct the Facility, the amount of the outside consultant expense incurred by the City will be determined and will be paid by USPCI to the City unless these funds advanced by USPCI to the City exceed said amount, in which case said excess shall be returned to USPCI. The total amount expended or incurred by the City up to the time of issuance of the last permit (the "'Consultant Offset^' amount) will be offset against the City Service Charge due the City by USPCI pursuant to the preceding provisions of this paragraph. Said Consultant Offset amount will reduce the per ton City Service Charge at the rate of 25 cents per ton, until the total Consultant Offset amount has been eliminated. Accordingly and by way of example if the total consultant charge amount is $50,000, f-1"+ .._ �e..��,— du 1... TTnT/�T 4 6 A.L_ ....e a..........- %A Aix Uor% -i 60 Etta CI -y for the first 200, tons deposited in the Facility, determined in accordance with the foregoing subparagraphs, shall be reduced by 25 cents per ton. f. The City agrees that the funds provided pursuant to this paragraph will not be used in any manner directly competitive to the business operations of USPCI at the Facility. Nothing in this provision shall be construed to limit the City of Rosemount's participation in recycling efforts. 11. City of Rosemount - USPCI Community Trust Fund a. Establishment USPCI in conjunction with the City - 8 - will establish a Community Trust Fund which shall be known as the City of Rosemount - USPCI Community Trust Fund. The trust fund will be administered by a board of trustees made up of five (5) persons, three (3) of whom will be designated by the City and two (2) by USPCI. The trust will be funded by USPCI with a payment of $4.00 per ton (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) for each ton of waste accepted and disposed of in the Facility during the years that the Facility is accepting waste. Tonnage computation for the City Service Charge shall be the same as for the Waste Generator Charge. Payments to the trust shall be made monthly at such place designated in writing by the trustees. Payments for each month shall be due by the 15th day of the following month. b. Use The principal of the trust may only be used at the determination of the trustees as set out in the trust .agreement. Detailed activity of the trust fund shall be as set forth can the trust d�C�.erlt a �.^r, � v f �.,},; .-1, ; +.+.�..ti,...a `_� I Y1 + ^•• +vaa &o a t. - - - ac ied her .o as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference. C. Adjustment Based on Waste Generator Charge At the present time it is anticipated that the initial per ton fee charged to waste generators ( "Waste Generator Charge ") will be $75.00 per ton, and the Community Trust Fund Charge payable to the Trust, is predicated on that anticipated Waste Generator Charge. If the Waste Generator Charge is increased or decreased by USPCI (other than as a result of an increase in amounts due governmental entities after the Facility commences operation, such as permit fees, etc., which governmentally required increases shall not impact the per ton charge due the City pursuant to this paragraph) then the Community Trust Fund Charge shall be adjusted pro -rata. Accordingly and by way of example if there is a ten (10) percent increase in the Waste Generator Charge (other than governmentally mandated) then the Community Trust Fund Charge shall likewise be increased by ten (10) percent. Adjustment based on this subparagraph (c) shall be applied to the previously existing Community Trust Fund Charge, before the following adjustments or offsets. d. The City agrees that the funds provided pursuant to this paragraph will not be used in any manner directly competitive to the business operations of USPCI at the Facility. Nothing in this provision shall be construed to limit the City of Rosemount's participation in recycling efforts. 12. Miscellaneous a. The City will be given access to operating records of USPCI for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the amounts reported to have been accepted at the Facility. b. USPCI agrees that any permit issued by the City for the Project may incorporate the provisions of this Commitment. C. USPCI agrees not to sell, assign, or transfer its interest in the Facility or Property without the prior consent of the City. It is further understood that the City may not assign rights or obligations of the City hereunder without, prior written consent of USPCI. - 10 - 13. Summary USPCI feels it is in the best interest of the City as well as the region and the state that a Facility be constructed consistent with "state of the art" technical knowledge to accommodate non - hazardous industrial waste. The proposed Facility is a "state of the art" project and will allow containment of said non - hazardous waste in a manner vastly superior to the manner in which said wastes are presently being disposed of in Dakota County. Portions of the Property have been designated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency as "intrinsically suitable" for such a Facility. Thus, USPCI agrees to use their best efforts to accomplish all necessary steps to allow the construction and operation of the Facility for the good of all persons concerned.

Asa businessperson in Rosemount, I have -aware of this facility since it opened in 1992 and it is - my understanding that it has been operating in an environmentally sound manner. I believe SKB Environmental has been a benefit to this community and has contributed to many community activities through the SKB Rosemount Community Trust and to the city directly. I encourage the approval of this modification, which will improve the appearance of this site and Provide even more financial benefits to the Rosemount Community. Best Wishes, Pauf Eggen Great River Energy's service area stretches across Minnesota, including many of the Twin Cities' outer -ring suburbs, an area that consistently has been one of the ^ °* ^ ^'° ' ^ °ders in job growth and energy e. This growth is expected to continue, and so will the need for additional 2. generation capacity. Current load projections show that an intermediate, or combined cycle, power plant in Minnesota would best serve the future electric needs of Great River Energy's member cooperatives. As a result, Great River Energy plans to build a 300 -600 megawatt combined cycle power plant fueled primarily by natural gas in Dakota County, just south of the Twin Cities. The plant will supply electricity to Great River Energy's customers, including nearby Dakota Electric Association and its members. ABOUT THE PLANT The generating facility would be an intermediate, combined cycle plant, designed to run up to 65 percent of the time. It will be fueled primarily by natural gas, an environmentally friendly fuel with few emissions. The Dakota County area has a well - developed electric transmission system and natural gas pipelines, minimizing infrastructure investment. The construction schedule calls for power plant permitting and engineering activities to take place in 2003 -2004 with construction beginning in late 2004 and the plant beginning operation in early 2007.

'l I � O Combustion turbine Conventional steam cycle FAWCJ W January 6, 2003 City of Rosemount 2875 West 145 Street Rosemount, MN 55068 RE: SKB Rosemount Industrial Waste Facility Major Modification Permit No. SW -383 ' To interested persons: SKB Environmental Inc. (S -KB) is proposing a major modification for the SKB ' Rosemount Industrial Waste Facility (Facility) permit number SW -383. This Facility, which is located in Rosemount, Minnesota, currently accepts non - hazardous Industrial Waste and Municipal Solid Waste Combustor Ash (Ash). As part of this modification ' request, SKB is proposing to add a Construction and Demolition (C &D) cell along with a C &D recycling/transfer station to the Facility, which will allow for processing of the waste prior to disposal (Drawing No. 9). In addition, SKB is proposing to fill the ' "saddle" areas between the currently permitted cells. The three saddle areas, C &D waste, Ash, and Industrial Waste will be filled to enhance the end use and aesthetics of the Facility. Currently, the Facility would be completed and closed with four large ' "pyramids" (Drawing No. 3), which would greatly reduce the end use capabilities of the Facility. L I C The C &D recycling/transfer station will be constructed in the northeast corner of the property and used for additional processing and waste acceptance screening prior to final disposal of C &D waste. The general design of this building will consist of a fully enclosed structure with a concrete floor, a tipping and loading area, and overhead access doors as shown in the attached Drawing No. 10. An example of a similar recycling/transfer station design is shown in Drawings 11 and 12 from our Blaine facility. The specific design features (i.e. number and location of doors, push walls, building elevations, building color, building materials, etc.) will likely be modified to accommodate city ordinances and agreed upon traffic patterns. Historically, all traffic has entered and exited through the main gate (Gate #1) onto State Highway 55. During the 2002 construction season SKB opened an exit gate (Gate #2) onto County Road 38 in the southwest corner of the Facility. Traffic is routed through this exit to ease congestion on Highway 55 during peak hours or as needed. Gate #1 has 251 Starkey St. • P.O. Box 7216 • St. Paul, MN 55107 Am Printed on Recycled Paper. 651 - 224 -6329 • FAX 651- 223 -5053 W y P 2 of 3 11 an existing right turn lane to handle the traffic entering the Facility. SKB has had conversations with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and Dakota County to evaluate the proposed traffic patterns for the Facility and adjacent roadways. ' There is a general consensus that this proposed traffic pattern mentioned above is the most favorable means of easing the congestion on State Highway 55. ' According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), in 2000 there were only 10,000 trips per day (TPD) on Highway 55, which is only half of the 20,000 TPD ' design capacity. With the addition of Gate #2 as an exit there would be an average of 185 additional TPD (10,185 total TPD) on Highway 55, which is less than a 2% increase in volume. In 2000 County Road 38 had only 600 TPD with a design capacity of 15,000 TPD. With the additional traffic routed onto County Road 38 the total of 915 TPD will only utilize 6% of the design capacity. Since Gate #2 has been in service, SKB has found that the routing of traffic onto County Road 38 has eased traffic congestion on Highway 55 and has not adversely impacted the traffic conditions on County Road 38. The C &D cell, Cell 5, will be located in the southeast corner of the Facility (Drawing No. ' 4) and will contain approximately 5,471,100 yd of debris (including saddle area). The cell will be progressively filled in five phases, 5A -5E, with an anticipated closure date of April 2020 (Drawings No. 4, 5, and Table 1). The bottom liner system of the cell will ' consist of a two -foot layer of clay (or equivalent synthetic or geosynthetic liner) overlain by a three -foot layer of protective /drainage sand. Upon closure, the cell will be capped with a 40 -mil LLDPE synthetic liner overlain by two feet of cover soils. The C &D ' saddle area will be located between Cell 5 and Cell 3, and Cell 5 and Cell 2, forming a linear shaped saddle (Drawings No. 4, 6, 8). The interface area of the C &D saddle, which overlies the Industrial Waste Cell 3, will have an 80 -mil HDPE liner (Drawings ' No. 6 & 8). The Ash Saddle area encompasses the areas between Cell 4 and Cell 1 and between Cell ' 4 and Cell 3 forming an "L" shaped saddle (Drawings No. 4, 6, 8). The total volume of this saddle is approximately 788,000 yd with an anticipated closure date of July 2022. The Ash Saddle would have a bottom liner consisting of a 2 -foot clay liner overlain by an ' 80 -mil HDPE liner (Drawings No. 6 & 8). This bottom liner system would be in addition to the Industrial Waste liner system consisting of two foot of clay, a 60 -mil HDPE liner, an 80 -mil HDPE liner, and two feet of drainage /protective sand, which is below the Ash ' Saddle. Upon closure, the Ash cell and saddle area would be capped with a 40 -mil LLDPE synthetic liner overlain by two feet of cover soils (Drawings No. 6 & 8). ' The Industrial Saddle will be located between Cell 2 and Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3, and Cell i and Cell 3, forming a "T" shaped saddle (Drawings No. 4 & 7). The total volume ' of the Industrial Saddle is approximately 962,000 yd with an anticipated closure date of August 2026. The Industrial Saddle would have the same bottom liner system as described above for the currently permitted Industrial Waste cells (Drawing No. 7). After reaching closure, the Industrial saddle would be capped with a 40 -mil LLDPE liner and ' the two feet of cover soils, which would tie into the liner over the other areas of the Facility (Drawing No. 7). 11 3 of 3 C 0 I 0 0 After the cells and saddle areas have reached their final waste elevations, the entire area will be covered with a 4 -foot final cover system (Drawing No. 2). This final cover system will consist of a one -foot protective layer overlain by a 40 -mil LLDPE synthetic liner which is overlain by 2.5 feet of compactable soil and 6- inches of top soil. Additional soils will placed up to 10 feet thick in some areas to provide rolling swales and undulations that better simulate a naturally occurring hill and limit the erosion effects associated with the steeper geometric slopes of a traditional landfill (Drawing No. 1). The depth of this soil will also allow larger trees and native vegetation to be planted over the fill areas creating a more natural shaped hill. This hill would replicate the bluffs along the Mississippi River helping to restore the natural bluff corridor and maximize the future end -use options for the site. As part of this corridor, SKB constructed a wildlife viewing area adjacent to the Gate #2 exit on County Road 38. This area provides a place where the general public can park and observe the wildlife in the wetlands on the southwest corner of the property. We believe that this modification will continue to allow SKB to be a significant part of the State of Minnesota's integrated solid waste system. In addition, the modification will allow for the creation of the most aesthetically pleasing end use of the Facility. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the proposed modification please do not hesitate to call John Domke or myself at 651- 224 -6329. Sincerely, William P. Keegan, P.E.
