Engineering and Geological Services August 30, 2007 Kwasi Badu-Tweneboah, Ph.D., P . E. Associate Geosyntec Consultants 2258 Riverside Avenue Jacksonville, FL 32204 RE : Proposal for Third-Party Verification Services for Landfill Methane Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects RSG Project No. INDIAN RIVER-07- 1 Dear Kwasi: Richardson Smith Gardner & Associates (RSG) is pleased to provide this proposal to provide third-party verification services for the landfill methane greenhouse gas reduction project located at the Indian River landfill, located near Vero Beach, Florida. This proposal is to provide services on a time and expenses basis with a limit not to be exceeded without prior notification. Scope RSG is proposing to verify greenhouse gas emission reduction credits resulting from combustion of methane gas in a landfill gas (LFG) collection and control system at the Indian River landfill, in order to qualify the credits for sale on the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). The verification may cover the period from August 1 , 2007 through December 31 , 2007. Verification services will be performed in accordance with provisions contained in Chapters 9 and 10 of the most recent version of the Chicago Climate Exchange ®, Inc. Rulebook , and CCX® Project Guidelines: Landfill Gas-Version 12, at the time of the verification reports. Deviations from these provisions may not preclude verification of this project; however, RSG cannot guarantee that CCX will accept the verification report if the project deviates from the provisions. Tasks to be performed during this project include verification of the following : 1 . Verification of project eligibility as defined by CCX and determined by the documented regulatory status of the landfill and collection system, in accordance with the applicable federal regulations 3; Chicago Climate Exchange ®, Inc. Rulebook, prepared by the Chicago Climate Exchange ®, Inc., Copyright January 2004 (or most recent version as provided by CCX) 2 CCX ® Project Guidelines: Landfill Gas-Version 1 , prepared by the Chicago Climate Exchange ®, Inc., dated February 2, 2004 (or most recent version as provided by CCX) ' Emission Guidelines and Standards of Performance for MSW Landfills (EG & NSPS), 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts Cc and WWW, published March 12, 1996, and amended June 16, 1998, February 24, 1999, and April 10, 2000. 14 N .

Verification of the project description as submitted to CCX during the project approval process, including the landfill, collection system(s), and control device(s); 3 . LFG flow rate to the control device(s); 4. Methane content of recovered LFG; 5 . Production and heat rate of electrical generation equipment (if any); 6 . Percentage of methane destroyed in the control device(s) (destruction efficiency); 7. Method of calculation of total greenhouse gas reduction credits; Note: An additional task may be required by CCX to assess the project owner's other non- landfill direct greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this assessment is to verify that the non-landfill greenhouse gas emissions are below 25,000 metric tonnes annually. This assessment, if it is performed, will entail the review of records including, but not limited to: • fuel usage records (mobile and non-mobile sources); • wastewater treatment plant throughput; and • refuse incineration. Task Deliverables Project deliverables will include a project verification report, containing: 1 . Signed verification statement form; 2. Statement of CCX eligibility of the registered Project; 3 . Project description; and 4. Quantity of emissions reductions . Four (4) copies of the report will be delivered. Two (2) copies will be retained by the project owner, and two (2) copies will be signed by the designated official, and submitted to CCX for their use and reliance. If required, the assessment of non-landfill direct emissions of greenhouse gases will be included in the verification report. Key Understandings The landfill is assumed to be eligible to trade emissions with CCX as an offset provider (not required to offset other emissions). The landfill is not required to collect and control LFG emissions by federal Emissions Guidelines (EG) or New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), found in 40 CFR Subparts CC and WWW, respectively. Planned Meetings One ( 1) trip, up to two (2) days in duration, is planned to visit one (1 ) landfill.
