Patrick will review the Applicant's Needs Assessment to determine if proper methods are used in the evaluation, including the definition of the service territory, the estimation of the waste quantities from the service area, the available waste disposal capacity, and if appropriate, economics. 2. Design/operation of the facility. Patrick will review the waste flow pattern of the facility, the storm water management plan, the proposed operations, the sizing of the tipping floor, the internal traffic patterns and the facility location to ensure that the facility is designed and proposed to be operated to protect public health and safety. Patrick will pay special attention to the stacking of trucks on the property and the handling of storm water prior to discharge onto adjacent properties. Patrick will compare the applicant's design and planned operation to generally accepted practices and engineering principals to provide an opinion on this criterion. 3. Compatibility of the facility with the surrounding area. Patrick will manage subconsultants for the review of the Application's real estate assessment and the land use study to determine if these items are prepared according to accepted procedures. Patrick will subcontract this service to a qualified real estate appraiser and a professional land use/planning firm. Page 1 of 33 Propasarfor 12149160-07:.K1 Professional Engineering Services ENGINEERING INC City of Elgin January 8,2004 4. Proximity to floodplains. Patrick will evaluate whether the facility is in the floodplain. Patrick performed groundwater management and Elgin Quad geological mapping studies on nearby properties, and is,therefore,most qualified to perform the evaluation of this criterion. 5. The proposed plan of operations of the facility. Patrick will engage our personnel that have previously operated transfer stations to comment on the appropriateness of the plan. Patrick will review the fire prevention plan, the emergency plans, the spill plans, and other pertinent operational plans to minimize the danger to the surrounding area from fires and other operational accidents. 1 6. Traffic impacts. Patrick will subcontract the review of the Applicant's traffic evaluation in order to determine if the traffic patterns are designed to minimize impact on existing traffic flows. 7. Disposal of hazardous waste. Patrick will evaluate the Applicant's plan to detect hazardous waste and to properly handle the waste if it is found at the site. 8. Consistency with the Cook County Solid Waste Management Plan and any subsequent updates or amendments. Patrick will specify the plan component that makes the facility consistent or inconsistent with the plan. 9. Whether the facility is located within a regulated recharge area. Patrick will communicate with the IEPA to identify any new regulated recharge areas since our previous review of a siting in mid-2003. Based on experience, it is highly unlikely that the site is located within a regulated recharge area. Patrick will utilize the expertise of its hydrogeologists, water resources engineers, traffic engineers, environmental engineers, and civil engineers to review the application. This staff is experienced with transfer station siting, permitting, design, and operation. A summary of the review by each professional will be background for use in any reports prepared by Patrick.

Patrick Engineering's staff qualifications and previous experience in transfer station/recycling facilities design was the determining factor in our selection of Patrick Engineering. Staff provided a detailed review, targeting facility design and operations, of the following three statutory criteria, as well as Urbana's related criteria: ' • The facility is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected. ' • The plan of operations for the facility is designed to minimize the danger to the surrounding area from fire, spills, or other operational accidents. •If the facility will be treating, storing or disposing of hazardous waste, an emergency response plan for the facility. Patrick Engineering's experience was quite evident in the questions and information provided ' during the review and I believe this led to a more comprehensive and complete application. The timely and professional manner under which the review and responses were provided was greatly appreciated. I look forward to working with you and Patrick Engineering's competent staff on future projects as they may arise. Si , / Rodney A.
