WORK PLAN

In accordance with the Cooperative Service Agreement between the Cooperator and the United States
Department of Agriculture (JSDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife
Services (WS), this Work Plan sets forth the objectives, activities and budget of this project during the
period of this agreement.

The APHIS WS program uses an Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) approach
(sometimes referred to as IPM or “Integrated Pest Management”) in which a series of methods may be
used or recommended to reduce wildlife damage. These methods include the alteration of cultural
practices as well as habitat and behavioral modification to prevent damage. However, controlling
wildlife damage may require that the offending animal(s) are killed or that the populations of the
offending species be reduced.

Description of Damage:
The Four Hifls Landfill is located in the City of Nashua. Accumulation of food waste at the landfill is

an attractant for gulls and turkey vultures. Birds attracted to the landfill have caused conflicts in
neighborhoods adjacent to and nearby the landfill.

Program Objective
To reduce on and off-site conflicts associated with large concentrations of gulls, turkey vultures,

starlings, and woodchucks attracted to the Four Hills Municipal Landfill, Nashua, New Hampshire
through the conduct of an integrated wildlife harassment and monitoring project.

Plan of Action
1. Wildlife Services will staff the integrated bird damage management and monitoring program
five working days (8-9 hours) from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 except government
holidays, mandatory scheduled training days and under extreme weather conditions.

2. Wildlife Services will provide bird harassment training as required of landfill personnel.

3. Wildlife Services will assist the City in obtaining a USFWS depredation permit for 2020-2021.
Wildlife Services will assume responsibility for processing the USFWS permit application for the
City’s signature.

4. Wildlife Services will continue monitoring efforts of wildlife activity and presence at the nearby
Ledgewood Hills condominiums and other surrounding areas deemed to be of concern to the City
and impacted by gulls, starlings or other birds associated with Four Hills Landfill activities to assess
the effectiveness of the integrated gull harassment program. Wildlife Services will also conduct
harassment activities at the Ledgewood Hills condominiums and other identified nearby properties
as necessary and agreed upon, to reduce gull activity and associated damage to property.

5. Wildlife Services will conduct woodchuck control activities on landfill property to reduce
burrowing activity and potential damage to landfill property as requested.

6. Wildlife Services will provide the City and other interested parties a summary report including

recommendations of integrated harassment activities.

Effective Dates:
The cooperative agreement shall become effective on July 1, 2020, and shall expire on June 30, 2021,

Work Order No. 6

(d) Non-Conformity Correction. CSC shall prioritize all Non-Conformities in accordance with its
impact on Customer’s operations as set forth below. Without further charge, other than for Customer
Specific Non-Conformities and generally in accordance with such priority, CSC shall make such
modifications as are required to correct reported Non-Conformities using the Current Base Software and
CSC test data. CSC may assign a new priority to the Non-Conformity after research if the initial
description was not accurate or after provision of a manual method of working around the Non-
Conformity if such method lessens the impact of the Non-Conformity. CSC will maintain internal
guidelines providing for levels of technical expertise and management involvement that increase with the
priority of the reported Non-Conformity and the time elapsed since the Non-Conformity was reported.
There shall be two categories for Non-Conformity correction as defined below:

1. Critical
Definition - Production use of the Software is not possible or no method of manually working
around a Nonconformity exists. Customer requires resolution urgently due to financial, legal
and public risk exposure.
Target Action - Initial response within one (1) business hour. Resource assigned immediately
thereafter. CSC will use all commercially reasonable efforts to implement a resolution within
twenty-four hours of notice to CSC.

2. Non- Critical
Definition — Any Nonconformity that is not Critical
Target Action - Initial response within two (2) business hours. Resource assigned within one
business day thereafter. CSC will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement a
resolution as soon as possible.

* Critical requires that a Customer resource be available and remain available until the issue is
resolved.

(e) Customer-Specific Non-Conformity. If a reported Non-Conformity is determined to be a
Customer-Specific Non-Conformity, then if the Non-Conformity would be fixed as a result of Customer
utilizing the Software in accordance with the Documentation, then Customer shall be obligated to do so.

Dated as of executed by the authorized representatives of Customer and CSC noted below.
