1. Product Information, Benefits, Safeguards and Farmland Application Procedures

2. Product Information Environmentally safe organic by-products from food and paper production

3. Benefits to Agriculture and Soil Supplies organic matter and beneficial soil microorganisms Improves soil structure and porosity Decreases soil wind and water erosion and runoff Enables soil to retain nutrients longer Increases moisture infiltration Reduces need for chemical fertilizers (groundwater protection) Reduces fertilizer costs to farmers & timber owners Promotes open green space

4. Plant Nutrient Management Nitrogen is a primary nutrient that makes plants really "grow." Products are applied at precise application rates based on crop nutrient needs as specified in the site specific Nutrient Management Plan

5. Environmentally Safe Fertilizer State Regulations Nationwide agricultural/silvicultural use Research shows no evidence of health risk or environmental threat High-quality soil amendment that is treated and tested

6. Synagro Land Application Safeguards Assess the soil and crop needs Report actual application event to permitting authorities Community sensitive operations Set and flag boundary areas from dwellings, wells and roads In field monitoring by Synagro and regulatory agencies Precise load and nutrient tracking system

7. Synagro Land Application Procedures and Safeguards Site and Field Characterization Farmland Application Process and Management Practices Monitoring and Reporting

8. Site and Field Characterization Map field using GPS readings Boundary areas clearly marked Obtain soil testing samples Establish regulatory buffers via flagging Develop site-specific NMP Determine application rate Develop application schedule and delivery details

9. Important Site Variables-Runoff Control and Buffers

10. Agronomic Calculations Prior testing determines agronomic rate for the specific field given specific nature of materials Composition of soil and material is tracked

11. Farmland Application Process Materials are delivered by trucks Product applied day of delivery (weather permitting) The spreader and discharge is calibrated to deliver the agronomic rate on a per acre basis Seeded and crop grown

12. Management Practices Water-tight and covered transportation Community friendly delivery times Management of off-site tracking Load tracking using Residuals Management System (RMS) to track each load delivered to a field

13. Monitoring and Reporting Check to ensure crops are grown Regulatory agencies and clients receive soil and load information as required If there is a question, follow-up can be done immediately
