February 15, 2000 Mr. Mike Kelly State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 1601 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1601 SUBJECT: PCB Landfill Detoxification BFA #99-001 Accommodating the Stakeholders and Moving Forward Quickly Dear Mike: Over the years you and I have both worked hard together on this project to accommodate the interest of all sides while moving forward and without compromising the integrity of the process . I like to believe that our longevity is a direct result of our ongoing and sincere desire to find that middle ground. I am sure you have noticed that we are at that stage again where sensitive leadership is required. We are all currently faced with moving forward as quickly as possible while keeping the costs competitive (i.e,. bidding), benefiting from the work which has occurred, keeping the community involved and ensuring that the State has a quality product. I can think of only one approach which simultaneously meets all of these criteria, and it's outlined as follows. You and I have discussed this briefly but I wanted to communicate my thoughts more succinctly. 1. Consider bringing on a consultant to assist in the RFP and bidding process. This will be important to answer questions related to the design and to prepare bid addendums. 2. Modify the bid specifications to name the vendor and operator of the BCD process equipment. This will accomplish several things: a. Enables process permitting to begin immediately; b. Ensures that equipment and process which was successfully proven in the earlier phases of the project is incorporated into the detoxification, thus helping to ensure quality; c. This will open up the advertisement to numerous remedial contractors who would bid as the prime. d. Ensures a meaningful bidding process. 3655 Maguire Boulevard • Suite 150 • Orlando, Florida 32803 Office ( 407) 896-8608 • Fax ( 407) 896-1822 Mr. Mike Kelly February 15, 2000 Page2 I have thought very long and hard about how we can accommodate all concerns and meet the State and community's objective. I feel this approach comes closest to addressing those concerns. I have attached a matrix table that summarizes these as well as other thoughts. I hope that this letter is helpful in your upcoming discussions with contracting. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call me.

It is very likely that the State will receive numerous questions from potential bidders once the RFP package is advertised. This is also a standard practice. The industry recognizes that certain processes will require certain vendors. This approach maximizes the benefits of all the work performed thus far, while allowing the project to be bid as desired by the State. The best way to move quickly is to initially secure a small amount of federal funding, enabling us to move forward. Additional funds can be sought afterwards for other project'phases. The State needs only to continue the process it currently has underway to maintain the community's trust. J3J?'A Issue of Concern 5.

Ms. Dollie Burwell Chair -PCB Landfill Citizen Advisory Board CP&L Building 720 Ridgeway Street Warrenton, N.C. 27589 October 4, 1999 SUBJECT: Flood Waters and the PCB Landfill Status Dear Dollie: Pat BFA #99-001 I sincerely hope that the residents of the flood ravaged areas are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I cannot begin to understand the full magnitude of what they are going through. As we have discussed in the past, BF A is a full service environmental and water/wastewater utility engineering firm . As an African-American owned firm we have an aggressive mission to reach out and provide such services, particularly in under-served and minority communities. Please don't hesitate to contact me concerning technical, design or construction management services for any of the affected areas. I will also personally follow-up with the individuals you mentioned. It is important to note that as a part of our ongoing design of the PCB landfill detoxification, BF A will establish an office in the Warrenton area within the next 30 days. Such an office is a show of our commitment and should help facilitate project execution. Enclosed is a small monetary donation to assist the affected residents in their recovery efforts. I am sure you will see to it that it gets to the right hands. Although the CAB meeting was cancelled, the ETG/BF A team did meet with the State to go over the status of the design effort. Since obtaining the survey information the first week in September, things are moving along nicely. Attached is the latest status report. As you may or may not know, Mike Kelly is on leave so our meeting was with Bill Meyer, Pat Backus and technical staff. Bill Meyer primarily spoke of the flood impacts, rightfully so as this is what currently occupies his time; however, in that discussion he strongly indicated that the current funding for the landfill detoxification may be in jeopardy because of the enormity of the flooding problem. I sincerely hope that is not the case. 3655 Maguire Boulevard • Suite 150 • Orlando. Florida 32803 Office ( 407) 896-8608 • Fax ( 407) 896-1822 Ms. Dollie Burwell October 4, 1999 Page 2 It is important that officials understand that disasters like Hurricane Floyd are exactly why the landfill needs to be cleaned up immediately. Sever storms can and will further compromise the integrity of the landfill. The State must find a way to accomplish the Floyd recovery effort without going back on, or further delaying, the detoxification/redevelopment promise. If you get a chance, please make a couple of calls or draft a CAB letter to the Governor's Office discussing these issues. Thanks, and as I stated earlier, please don't hesitate to contact me concerning technical assistance.
