2 PRESENTATION OVERVIEW Overview of the of U.S. WTE fleet Typical WTE Maintenance practices and drivers for Capital Improvement Projects Life cycle of major boiler and APC components Super alloy overlays/materials & facility enhancement projects

3 OVERVIEW OF WTE FACILITIES IN US 80+ Facilities Currently Operating o 60+ mass burn o 10+ RDF H-POWER Kapolei, HI Major Benefits o Proven Technology o Can process 99%+ of waste stream o Direct Combustion Process o Volume Reduction of 85%+ o Generate Electricity and/or Steam o Sell Recovered Metals Wheelabrator BRESCO Baltimore, MD

4 DIFFICULT ECONOMIC CLIMATE Stagnant tipping fees and competition with landfills Drop in energy prices Drop in ferrous metal market Lack of regulatory incentives Increase in O&M costs

5 Annual or bi-annual scheduled outages Unscheduled outages Extended cold iron outages WTE PLANT MAINTENANCE PRACTICES DESPITE THE FACT THAT THESE FACILITIES PERFORM COMPREHENSIVE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE MANY WTE FACILITIES NEED TO INVEST SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL TO EXTEND ITS USEFUL LIFE ANOTHER 25 YEARS

6 WTE FACILITY SHUTDOWNS WASTEC, Wilmington, NC Jackson County RRF, Jackson, MI Wheelabrator Claremont, Claremont, NH Red Wing Plant, Red Wing, MN MERC, Biddeford, ME Harford WTEF, Joppa, MD Wallingford RRF, Wallingford, CT Harford Waste to Energy Facility Joppa, MD Maine Energy Recovery Company Biddeford, ME Since 2010, 7 facilities totaling almost 2,500 TPD of capacity have closed
