1. Metro Centroid Tonnage Goals Presentation to SWMCB May 27, 2009

2. Background Presented data analysis and sample WARM run to SWMCB on April 22 MPCA is identifying possible targets and their resulting GHG reduction potential for stakeholder work group MPCA will be presenting this information to stakeholder group on May 28 Stakeholder group will discuss and suggest targets for each centroid Summer centroid input work

3. Purpose and Objectives Establish a starting point for work group to discuss goals for centroids Provide initial analysis of GHG reduction potential by centroid Continue to refine WARM modeling work and understand its capabilities

4. GHG Reduction Targets by Centroid (based on waste generation) Duluth Centroid 3.3 MMTCO 2 e (6.3%) Rochester Centroid 2 MMTCO 2 e (3.8%) St. Cloud Centroid 3.7 MMTCO 2 e (7.0%) Metro Centroid 43.5 MMTCO 2 e (82.9%) Target GHG Emissions Reduction for all Centroids (70% of MCCAG Target) = 52.5 MMTCO 2 e

6. Metro Business As Usual Recycling rate held steady, therefore, 2025 rate is 39% Organics rate held steady, therefore, 2025 rate is 3% WTE tonnages held steady, and no capacity is added; therefore, 2025 rate is 25% Landfilling rate becomes 32% in 2025
