Subject: RE: [External] RE: Facility Annual Report -- 7/1/16 - 6/30/17 -- Orbit Energy
Charlotte, LLC (6033-AD-COMPOST-2015)
Thank you Teresa. Donna and Sherri, I am emailing you regarding Orbit Energy's plans to install retrofits at the
Orbit Energy Charlotte facility located at 600 Johnson Road, Charlotte, NC. These facility retrofits are necessary
for the facility to comply the terms of the Permit to Operate portion of Solid Waste Permit issued by
NCDEQ. We met locally on July 13, 2018 with the Mecklenburg County LUESA divisions to outline (1) the plans
for the retrofits to be installed, and (2) to explain how the retrofits would bring the facility into compliance with
the conditions of the facility's operational permits. In attendance at that meeting was Joe Hack who suggested
that we provide an outline of the facility retrofits to our State -level regulators as well. I am writing you now as a
follow-up to Joe's suggestion. I would like to either meet with you in person to discuss and present these facility
retrofits or conduct a virtual meeting via GoToMeeting (or similar platform) to walk you through the
upgrades. Please advise if you and your team would be available any of the following days for me to meet with
you:
Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 2:00, 3:00 or 4:OOpm;
Friday, August 3, 2018 all day except 2:00-3:OOpm;
Monday, August 6, 2018 all day except 11:00 — noon; or
Tuesday, August 7, 2018 - morning
Ultimately, the facility retrofits are aimed at allowing us to comply with the terms of the Solid Waste Permit and
to formally convert the Permit to Construct to a Permit to Operate when the facility is ready to begin ramp -up
later this fall. The overall digestion process outlined in the September 23, 2014 application for the facility's Solid
Waste Permit will remain the same but with a few pieces of replacement equipment in the reception building to
do so in compliance with our Permit to Operate conditions. Ultimately, we are not seeking increase the volumes
of waste processed at the facility nor to receive any types of waste that were not already approved in the
Permit; rather, we are seeking to retrofit the facility as currently constructed to satisfy the spill and odor control
conditions in the Solid Waste permit and more efficiently and effectively process waste at the facility.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you.
Thanks,
Zack

Mr. Morgan,
You will need to contact Donna Wilson, Environmental Engineer, and/or Sherri Stanley, Permitting Branch Head,
regarding any changes to the facility. They have been copied on this e-mail as well.
Thanks,

Ms. Bradford,
Attached please find the 2018 Facility Annual Report which is being delivered pursuant to the above -referenced
solid waste permit issued to Orbit Energy Charlotte, LLC. The original of the attached is being delivered to your
office via overnight delivery service.

I note that the facility is not currently accepting any further feedstock as we work to retrofit the facility with
upgrades necessary to comply with the Solid Waste Permit issued for the site. We have terminated our contract
with Auspark, LLC on the construction of the facility and have engaged ES Engineering Services to operate the
facility and to design and install with the facility retrofits. We have made a presentation to the local
Mecklenburg County officials regarding the anticipated facility retrofits. Joe Hack was the senior -most regulator
from Mecklenburg County Solid Waste in attendance. With whom at NCDEQ should I discuss the planned facility
retrofits? Ultimately, we are retrofitting exclusively to process feedstock volumes received in compliance with
the currently issued permits for the site; we are seeking neither to increase the volumes received nor the types
of feedstock accepted at the facility. We want to make sure that we have provided NCDEQ with sufficient
information regarding replacement equipment that we will be installing in the reception building at the facility
to process food waste and how that will affect our overall process at the facility.
Should you have any questions or need anything further, please let me know.
Thanks,
Zack
