IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Locate a site and assess the available data, to include zoning and permit requirements as well as the necessary environmental studies required at this property

●      Look at existing infrastructure
●      Determine if there are any environmental challenges for the site
●      Evaluate the surrounding area to see where the closest residential and schools in the area to ensure that the public will not object later at public hearings
●      Preliminary look at Air Quality Receptors for the site necessary for Environmental Assessment
●      Determine if there are any studies/reports on soil or other pertinent information regarding the property
●      Determine if there are any environmental challenges for the site
Complete Engineering Study that includes 30% Engineering for project

●      This will determine the firm fixed cost of the project
●      During this study the waste will be evaluated and data collected through Lab Analysis
●      This will provide the the list of equipment for the project as designed
●      A Preliminary Schedule for the project will be developed
●      Evaluation of the Permitting requirements and the timelines for completion will be determined, to include the Environmental Assessment and Air Permits
●      Selection of the EPC and other contractors will be made
●      Design engineering and economic review to potentially integrate technologies that could optimize the Waste-to-Energy facility and develop strategies for expansion
Upon completion of the Initial Engineering Design (30%), financing can be finalized based on the firm fixed costs and schedule

●      During the initial engineering, the structure for capitalizing will be determined
●      Long-term contracts for the waste and related off-take for energy will be executed
●      Complete the process for Applicable Grants and Incentives for Project
Initiate the Environmental Assessment, and Air Quality Permitting

●      Work directly the Local Air Quality Management District in preparing the Permit Application
●      Utilize a local firm that specializes on Environmental Studies in the region
●      Work with agencies to complete the Environmental Assessment and refine refine the timeline for approvals
●      Engage with Public Participants on Public Outreach and Education, to include local environmental groups
●      Continue to Monitor Legislative Measures and Regulatory Rule Changes that may affect the Project
Simultaneously work to secure potential markets and distribution channels for the anticipated recyclables, marketable by-products, and Carbon Credits while permitting is being completed

● Depending on the third-party contracts in place with the County, there may be an opportunity to incorporate existing recyclables with what is derived from the WTE FacilityDescription goes here
Continue the Final Project Design Engineering and based on the project structure and financing, long lead-time equipment can be ordered to compress the project timelines

●      100% Design & Final piping and instrumentation diagrams
●      General Permits for Construction and Building the Waste-to-Energy will be completed from Civil Engineering design
●      Air and Environmental permits are approved and issued
Procurement, Construction and Installation

● Procurement will be completed as per the schedule to coordinate with the construction and installation.
● Construction will start when the Environmental Assessment is completed and permits are approved as per the local rules to start construction
Start-Up and Commissioning

●      Verify installation, start-up, and component testing
●      Functional testing and review Operations & Maintenance Manuals (O&M)
●      Diagnostic monitory
●      O&M staff training
Project Completion

● Project can be completed between 18 months up to 3 years depending on the size of the project and the timeline for completing the Environmental and Regulatory requirements
