If the height requirement in Section is applicable to non-occupied structures, then a waiver will be requested for the Heat Recovery Steam Generator, which is 120 feet high, and its Stack, which is 160 feet high, and the Collector Bus Structure, which is 140 feet high. 16. Prior approval of water mains and appurtenances by the BPA: The Preliminary Planning Evaluation Form, which is the PPE, pertaining to the water mains and appurtenances for the project was submitted separately to the Village of Lordstown, Superintendent of Utilities on October, 9, 2015, for review and approval. That would lead us to a piece of correspondence -- SOLICITOR DUTTON: Well, let me -- just for the record, are all of the attachments -- were all of the attachments submitted? Because "M" and "N", there's a notation, "updated" -- do you want to explain that -- what that means? MS. BORDNER: All of the attachments that are listed have been submitted. SOLICITOR DUTTON: "A" through "N"?

11 MS. BORDNER: Yes, sir -- and then last Friday, we got a new updated attachment "M" -- List of Project Structures; and a new updated attachment "N", General Arrangement Setbacks. SOLICITOR DUTTON: Okay. MS. BORDNER: And you all should have those. MR. RECH: All right. MS. BORDNER: Okay, so that would take me, then, to an October 20th 2015, correspondence directed to Mr. William Siderewicz. MS. DUGAN: It's the yellow one if that helps. MS. BORDNER: President, Clean Energy Future - Lordstown, LLC. This is regarding the procedure that we are endeavoring upon this evening, and it states as follows: "Dear Mr. Siderewicz: You have asked whether the Village Planning Commission could "conditionally" approve a site plan for the plant. In short, the answer is Yes! The difficulty with this request is that it is based on conditions on the ground that do not currently exist -- for example, property lines and plat configurations. In that respect, a conditional approval would be speculative and certainly based on the presumption that you would be able to have the actual conditions correspond to the assumptions that you made when the site plan was proposed. Before the Zoning Inspector could issue a final permit, the conditions or assumptions underlying the site plan would have to be met. The site plan application would need to detail exactly what those conditions and assumptions are. For example, if the site plan was based on certain parcels being combined, replatted, and then divided, then those steps would have to happen before Kellie Bordner could sign the final permit. That may include having to obtain variances from the Board of Zoning Appeals, such as for those situations that could not be addressed through the site plan review process. The difficulty with this process is that if the conditions on the ground or the assumptions change, then the conditional site plan approved by the Planning Commission would need to be reopened. Miss Bordner could only sign a permit if the final design matches the conditional site plan. She'd go down the checklist of assumptions that were submitted as part of the application, to make sure that they all happened. It is our understanding that there are a number of underlying issues that have yet to be resolved on your end, and that there are a number of possibilities. Please know that the Village is willing to take the time to work with you to keep this project moving, but the Village is still bound by its Ordinances. Any variations in the site plan would probably necessitate another review by the Planning Commission. A conditional approval is not a final approval so there should not be any ground breaking until that happens. Moreover, your lenders may not accept a "conditional site plan approval". There is also a cost associated with the Site Plan Review process -- for example, engineering review costs. If you should have any questions, please contact the undersigned or Matthew G. Vansuch of our firm. Very truly yours, Paul M. Dutton." MS. BORDNER: And then with regards to permitting, I've asked a question as to how we could permit -- whether it could be something that was done as an entire process or if we had to permit each structure? And in response to my question, we have a

12 November 24th, 2015, correspondence directed to my attention regarding approval for Clean Energy Futures-Lordstown, LLC Site Plan, and it states as follows: "Dear Miss Bordner: Your department and the Village Engineer are in the process of reviewing the proposed site plan for the Clean Energy Futures-Lordstown, LLC power plant. CEF has indicated that the total square footage for the entire site is approximately 598,000 thousand square feet. This consists of four main buildings, seven permanent equipment structures (sic.) and seventeen equipment containers, the latter of which are of various sizes. In reviewing these plans, you have asked whether you, depending on the Planning Commission's recommendation, can approve the entire project on one permit or whether each building must be separately permitted. The answer is yes, assuming the Planning Commission has approved the site plan, you may issue a single permit for the entire project. Doing this will not change the amount that CEF will have to pay for the Zoning Permit, since that is calculated by the project's total square footage. If CEF wants to change the site plan in any way, whether by adding buildings or structures or moving them around on the site, then it will have to seek a new permit for each building. In our words, the Village is issuing a permit for the project as it is intended to be built and will cover those structures that are identified on the site plan and specified in the accompanying description; and any changes after the approval, will require a new approval through the Planning Commission, or once the zoning permit is issued, a new permit for each new structure. The site plan and description must be sufficiently detailed to enable you and the Village Engineer to adequately review them to determine what, if any, variances or waivers would be needed. For example, CEF has stated that the equipment containers are of various sizes, but each is greater than 100 square feet. You still need to know the height of each structure, since the Village has a height requirement. We hope that this opinion responds to your inquiry. If you have any additional questions, please call the undersigned or Matthew Vansuch of our firm. Very truly yours, Paul M. Dutton." MR. RECH: All right. Thank you, Kellie. Do you want to go straight into this? SOLICITOR DUTTON: Ask Clean Energy group -- MR. RECH: Okay. SOLICITOR DUTTON: -- if they have anything to supplement or explain? MR. RECH: Okay, good deal. Mr. -- is it Siderewicz? MR. SIDEREWICZ: Siderewicz. MR. RECH: Okay. MR. SIDEREWICZ: I would say -- MR. RECH: Would you please step to the microphone, sir, and introduce yourself, again, to us? MR. SIDEREWICZ: Oh, sure. MR. RECH: It's been a while. MR. SIDEREWICZ: No problem. Bill Siderewicz from Clean Energy Future- Lordstown. To the extent there could be additional comments regarding what has already been

13 read into the record, I would defer to Siemens Energy, who is going to be the EPC contractor, and one of their many representatives here tonight may want to add to what's already been said if necessary. So with that, I'll turn it over to Siemens Energy, and they can comment on what's been submitted. MR. DEKREY: My name is Lynn DeKrey. I'm with Siemens Energy. I'm the General Project Manager for this project. I think everything has been written -- the stuff that we've been working with Kellie on, and we're in agreement with what was said here. MR. RECH: Okay -- thank you, sir. SOLICITOR DUTTON: How about the blue section -- has that been resolved? How many structures will have off-street loading or unloading berths? Has that been -- MR. DEKREY: I think we have somebody who can talk about that if you want. SOLICITOR DUTTON: Okay. I just raised it because it was left as a question. MR. DEKREY: Right -- I agree. MR. CUNNINGHAM: Good evening. Good evening, my name is Andrew Cunningham, with Siemens Energy out of Orlando. I appreciate you coming here tonight. To answer that question -- so this whole plan will have two (2) main entrances, as we talked about earlier, off Henn Parkway -- so there will be no true off-street loading or unloading. This is not a manufacturing facility by any means, so we will have deliveries. With that said, I will have two (2) or three (3) main areas that will have deliveries a few times a month. Number one (1), is the ammonia unloading area, which will have a designated area, again, on-site for that; the chemical unloading area for unloading chemicals to the Cooling Tower. We have an area for that, and then we have the Admin/Control Warehouse building where we have a bay for that; and all of these will be, again, on the site for the Clean Energy plant. So with that, we don't have -- you know, this is not a manufacturing plant that will require daily delivery with a lot of trucks in and out. SOLICITOR DUTTON: So you're not seeking a waiver for any of that? MR. CUNNINGHAM: No, because we don't think that it needs that requirement, so -- any other questions? (WHEREAS, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND PROCEEDINGS WERE AS FOLLOWS:) MR. RECH: Okay. Mr. Platt, would you like to step up? How are you, sir? MR. PLATT: I'm fine, thank you. MR. RECH: Part of the record that we received this evening is a letter from the Water Pollution Control Department addressed to you. MR. PLATT: Yes, from the City of Warren. MR. RECH: Okay. Can you comment on this, please. MR. PLATT: It's basically the City of Warren -- MR. RECH: Identify yourself, please.

14 MR. PLATT: Bruce Platt, 1952 Salt Springs Road. I'm the Lordstown Village Superintendent of Utilities. That letter from Mr. Haller, I believe, is just the statement on the City of Warren's part, that the wastewater that would be generated by the facility -- the City of Warren would be able to handle that -- the makeup of it, and treat it, and also the volume that is expected from the facility. SOLICITOR DUTTON: Why don't you read it. MR. RECH: Okay. I will go ahead and read this into record. This is a letter dated December 8th, to Mr. L. Bruce Platt, Superintendent of Utilities, Lordstown Village, 1455 Salt Springs Road, Lordstown, Ohio, regards to the Lordstown Energy Center. It says -- "Dear Mr. Platt: This letter is to inform you that we have examined both the chemical composition and the quantity of the wastewater anticipated from the new Lordstown Energy Center, and I do not have any concerns about either one at this time. The wastewater generated should primarily be a concentrated mixture of the potable water the new facility will receive from the City of Warren, and the volume is anticipated to be approximately 700,000 gallons per day. If the composition and quantity are anywhere close to those expected, the Warren facility will have no difficultly processing the additional load. If you should have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at , Extension 110. Sincerely, Edward J. Haller, Director, Water Pollution Control." MR. RECH: Did I accurately get that, Mr. Platt? MR. PLATT: Yes. Any further questions? MR. SCHOFER: Section twelve (12) here talks about the composition and size of the water and sanitary sewers. You're familiar with all that, and okay with it? MR. PLATT: We're working on it. Everything has to be upgraded from the waterline that's going to service the facility. It's going to be serviced by two (2) distribution systems. It will be the Lordstown 24-inch distribution -- along with the City of Warren is going to be providing water, so they'll have a dual-source of water. As far as the wastewater goes, the Village has two (2) force mains -- one (1) of which is not being used at this time. So we're in the process of designing upgrades for our lift stations, which are basically complete rebuilts, which the facility is going to bear the expense of that, and it will utilize both of the force mains that are currently installed there. So we're -- we're confident that we can service the facility with water and also accept the wastewater, you know, from that so -- MR. SCHOFER: Thank you. MR. PLATT: Anything else? MS. OWENS: Are they, primarily, going to use Lordstown water -- or Warren as a backup, or how is it -- MR. PLATT: It's probably going to be more like a 50/50-type situation because neither source can supply all, and neither source can afford to sit there and have their lines set stagnant, if you will, for -- until they need it. So we're going to try to supply it so half of

15 it, within reason, comes from the City of Warren -- which will be sold to Lordstown, and Lordstown will be the billing agent. So it's just like a General Motors' agreement, just like the agreement that we have with Matalco, where the City of Warren provides the water, sells it to Lordstown. Lordstown, in turn, bills the energy facility for that, you know. MS. OWENS: Thank you, Bruce. MR. PLATT: Uh-huh. MR. RECH: In the diagram, Bruce -- and I forget which one of them -- which number it was. It mentioned, like, a water tank. Is this, essentially, going to be similar to what, like, GM has? Will they have their own water tank, per se, for their water needs? MR. PLATT: No, I don't think -- are you going to have an elevated storage tank? MR. CUNNINGHAM: No. MR. DEKREY: It's not elevated. We will have a raw water storage tank, and the other major water user will be the Cooling Tower. So the Cooling Tower will basically be getting water from us. The hot water storage tank is where -- MR. PLATT: Are you able to get that? COURT REPORTER: No, can you please -- (WHEREAS, THE WITNESS, LYNN DEKREY, THEN CAME FORWARD TO THE MICROPHONE AND TESTIFIED AS FOLLOWS:) MR. DEKREY: Okay, I'm sorry. We will have a raw water storage tank where the City water will go to, and the other major user is the Cooling Tower; and so we'll be having water going to the Cooling Tower basin -- covering blow down and evaporation that comes off the Cooling Tower. So there's two (2) spots so -- but the potable water will remain pressurized going to the service area. MR. RECH: Okay. That's my only question. Any other questions? (WHEREAS, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND PROCEEDINGS WERE AS FOLLOWS:) MR. RECH: Okay, thank you, Mr. Platt. MR. PLATT: Sure. MR. RECH: After this? SOLICITOR DUTTON: Yes, just to connect where we are going. The applicant submits the preliminary site plan. It's reviewed by the Zoning Administrator. There is identification of what areas of the Zoning Ordinances and the Planning Codes need to be addressed. The applicant identifies, as they have in the application, certain waivers that may be required; and then the Planning -- the Zoning Administrator then allows our engaged Engineer, CT Consultants, to review the proposal and the application and the site plan; and he will now present, on behalf of CT, his reaction to it; and where, hopefully, they all mesh together. MR. RECH: Before we do that, one second.

16 MS. BORDNER: If I could please, can I -- I just wanted, since we had Mr. Platt, who's our Utilities Superintendent up, and one of our other department heads -- I just wanted to share that I had spoken with, also, Dale Grimm, who is our Street Commissioner. The only concern that he had was the distance that the roadway and the perimeter fence was going to be from the road right-of-way -- you know, from the center over to the Lordstown Energy Center land, would be 30 feet. That would be included in the right-of-way, from the center line of the road, over; and I believe that they have answered, to our satisfaction, that both the interior roadway in the front and the perimeter fence, that would then be on the outside of that, would be at least -- the perimeter fence would be at least, if I recall correctly, three feet (3') from the road rightof-way; therefore, if I understand correctly, thirty-three feet (33') from the center of the roadway. And so it would be out of the road right-of-way. I think that was Mr. Grimm's only concern and something that he wanted to address, and I do believe that they have addressed that. I spoke, also, with -- SOLICITOR DUTTON: Well, do you want to acknowledge that that is accurate? MS. FERREIRA: I'm Bruna Ferreira, with Siemens Energy, Civil Engineer. Yes -- the fence will be three feet (3') from the right-of-way of Henn Parkway, which is thirty-three feet (33') from the center line of the road. MR. RECH: Thank you. MS. BORDNER: I also sent an to Chief Milhoan -- Chief Brent Milhoan, who is our Police Chief -- and asked him, after providing him with a copy of everything that was also provided to the Planning Commission, if he had any current concerns with regards to the project -- or safety concerns or anything of that nature? He indicated to me that -- at this time at least, he has no issues or concerns. He did suggest that I speak with Detective Chris Bordonaro because he had -- a couple of weeks prior to, which would be about three (3) weeks now -- met with Mr. Joe Watson from Siemens Energy, and they had gone over a safety plan. Mr. Bordonaro indicated to me that they did, in fact, meet. Mr. Joe Watson and Detective Chris Bordonaro -- and I believe other department heads, which is Fire Chief Travis Eastham, met with them as well, and they went over everything, from A to Z, on a safety plan. And so Detective Bordonaro indicated that he had no concerns. Chief Milhoan had no current concerns as well, and Fire Chief Eastham is here, and I'm sure he's going to address that as well. MR. RECH: Would you like to step up, please. MR. EASTHAM: Yes, sir. Travis Eastham, Lordstown Fire Chief. We went over things. We went over our equipment, what their needs were. I went over their blueprints. Right now, I have, really, no concerns on anything on our side of it. Does anyone have any questions or anything? (WHEREAS, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND PROCEEDINGS WERE AS FOLLOWS:) MR. RECH: Okay, thank you. Okay, so we covered that. MS. BORDNER: Yes, sir -- thank you.
