2 Star The Star Program is designed for exemplary worksites with comprehensive, successful safety and health management systems. Companies in the Star Program have achieved injury and illness rates at or below the national average of their respective industries. These sites are self-sufficient in their ability to control workplace hazards. Star participants are reevaluated every three to five years, although incident rates are reviewed annually. 2

3 Florida has 11 WTE Facilities, more than any other state Over the past 20 years, Covanta operated facilities in Florida have: Safely managed ~45 million tons of MSW Recovered over 670,400 tons of ferrous metal, enough to build 8 Golden Gate Bridges Recovered over 36,000 tons of non-ferrous metals, enough to make 2.5 billion aluminum cans 3

21 Pinellas County s existing Solid Waste Management Complex has approximately 90 years of useful landfill life remaining The Fact is this is all the landfill space the County will ever have Focus is on: Maximizing Resource Utilization Air Space Conservation Landfill Reclamation 21

22 Waste-to-Energy Landfills Converts MSW to energy in 1-hour vs. 100 years to decompose with potential leaks Modern emission control & monitoring vs. No emission control; limited monitoring Generate kwh/ton vs. With landfill gas recovery 65kWh/ton Avoids 100% of methane vs. Leading source of methane emissions Recover and recycle metals vs. No metal recovery 22

23 Partner with municipalities to sustainably dispose of waste Technologically advanced facilities combust waste at high temperatures Resulting steam used to produce electricity for sale or sold directly Metals are retrieved from the process and recycled GHG s are reduced and fossil fuels are offset 23
