D. Similar Experience
TRC has worked on the Shady Lane Landfill and Searles School
sites under EPA’s Superfund program in the 1990s. TRC was
the prime contractor for the EPA and over saw the
construction of the new cap in 1994. TRC subsequently
followed up with several years of monitoring under the EPA
contract for the new cap and the school confirming the
effectiveness of the implemented corrective actions.

The City of Nashua and TRC has more recently worked
together on several other projects. Two such projects were the combined sewer outflow
improvement projects 004 and 005 off of Bridge Street Nashua with Hazen and Sawyer. TRC
provided environmental, geotechnical, and permitting support for these two important projects
along the Merrimack River. The work also included extensive coordination with various federal,
state, and local agencies as the work included tunneling under an Army Corps of Engineer's
asbestos-containing flood control dike. TRC also supported the City of Nashua on one of their
previous EPA Brownfields Assessment grant programs. TRC provided crucial environmental and
remediation support to facilitate the development of the Rotary Common Park and La byrinth
along Main Street in Nashua.

In addition, TRC has worked with Eversource on several other projects in Nashua that involved
the upgrading of the electric grid. New substations and power poles were ail installed in known
asbestos contaminated areas. TRC also worked with a private developer in Nashua to help
support a proposed expansive mixed-used redevelopment along the Merrimack River.

TRC has been working on all aspects of landfill gas systems for numerous clients over many
years. Types of landfill gas control systems that TRC has worked with include: ground flares,
gas engines and gas turbines.

Energy Power Partners (EPP)

EPP owns and operates many landfill sites that collects landfill gas and burns it in engines to
generate electricity. TRC has tested both the landfill gas fueling the engines and the emissions
generated by the engines. In addition to the engines these sites also operate flares as emission
controls if the engines fail.

Some of the EPP landfill sites that TRC has worked at include:
NH — Nashua

VT ~ Moretown

PA — Blue Ridge and Cumberland County Landfill

NJ — Vineland, and Pennsauken

Fortistar Methane Group (FMG)
Fortistar owns and operates many closed landfills and specializes in renewable power. Fortistar
use the landfill gas to fuel both engines and turbines to generate electricity. They have also

converted many landfills to solar farms. TRC has tested the landfill gas and emissions from the
engines and turbines.

Some of the FMG facilities that TRC has worked at include:
MA — Taunton, Halifax, New Bedford, Brockton

VA — Richmond

NY — Albany

Casella

Casella is recovering landfill gas so it can be used as an energy
resource. Casella and its partners are now producing roughly 25
megawatts per hour of clean energy at five of the company's
landfills. This clean energy is enough to power approximately 25,000 homes and results in
substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. To capture the methane gas before it can
escape to the air, a series of wells is connected to a powerful vacuum which actively pulls it to
the power generation plants where it is converted to electricity.

The Casella facility that TRC has worked at is:
NY — Clinton County

Remediation Environmental Work

IBM — Essex Junction, VT (Project Manager/Engineer: 2015 - Present)

Mr. Gill worked as a project manager/engineer to help with the transition of
environmental responsibilities and the separation of the current environmental
remediation and monitoring networks from the new owner and keeping them with
IBM. Part of the separation was to upgrade current treatment systems and
secure certain areas of the facility that should have had limited access. Well
inventory and maintenance plan was created and implemented. Many wells were
re-developed and re-sealed to prevent surface water from entering.

IBM — Essex Junction, VT (Project Manager/Engineer: 2015 - Present)

Mr. Gill worked as a project manager/engineer to inspect a RCRA Landfill. He
was responsible for the inspections and overseeing all corrective actions. Some

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Mr. Paul Shea, 102 Tolles Street

| am the Executive Director for Great American Downtown. | came here this evening in case there were
any questions about the escrowed items relative to the holiday lighting and the music festival. | stayed to
say thank you. It is great to have a Mayor and a Board of Aldermen who are supportive of the initiatives
that we are taking. There have been music festivals in other communities that have been a boom for the
local economy. It’s our hope to have proof of concept for this idea for Nashua this year. It’s not going to
be anywhere near the full scope that | believe it can be with a few years of building. On September 24"
from 12:00 noon until 5:00 p.m. and September 25" from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. | will have a full line-up
of programming. We are also working to development a few small additional venues throughout downtown
for Saturday's events. The response from the community has been prenominal, we’ve already seen about
1,200 folks that are interested. | want to thank Alderman Lopez for holding it down at the community
garden today. | also want to thank Alderman Schoneman for working to get us a stop sign at Lock and
Cross Streets.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Alderman Lopez

l’d like to thank the public for the support of the Welcoming City initiative. | had initially planned to
suspend the rules to allow for final passage because the Welcoming Week is next week but in speaking
with my colleagues | thought it was important to recognize the process. | would like to encourage the
public to come to the Personnel/Administrative Affairs Committee meeting and hopefully the following
Board of Aldermen meeting as well.

We recently had an unfortunate incident in my Ward with the Islamic Society where stones were thrown
directly through their window on September 11". Although the facts are not known we do know that
community was hurt. | am proud to say that my community does not approve of that and was very vocal
about saying that we should step up and let people know that they are welcome in our community. |
organized an event in about six hours and it was a great opportunity for neighbors to meet each other.

This Saturday | am doing a library trail clean-up in the morning from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. That
evening from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Positive Street Art is organizing a movie with Veteran’s. We've
arranged for Top Gun to be shown at the Renaissance Park and it’s open to the public and the idea is to
build a stronger community between civilians and Veterans. The following day is the Downtown Art’s
Festival. There is a lot of talent and excitement and will be running from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m.
