Business of Hubbard Construction and Mid-Florida Materials • Hubbard started as a Central Florida business in 1920. • Main business is roadway construction. • Employs 470 people. • MFM is a division of Hubbard. • Main business of MFM is borrow pits, C&D debris disposal, and recycling. • MFM accepts C&D debris: steel*, glass, brick, concrete*, asphalt material, pipe, gypsum wallboard, lumber, yard trash*, rocks, soil, land clearing debris (trees)*, clean cardboard*, paper, plastic, wood, and metal scraps*. * Materials that are recycled.

History of MFM/Hubbard C&D Disposal Facility • 1960 – Borrow pit began • 1984 – Started filling in borrow pit with C&D Debris • Orange County Excavation/Fill Permit 1991 - 2012 • 220 Acres – C&D Facility approved in 2000; permit renewals 2007 and 2013 • For 29 years, has been compatible with surrounding land uses (borrow pits/landfills/agricultural) and rural neighbors • Approved permits from FDEP and Orange County • Excellent compliance record – no odor or groundwater quality issues • Recycles 30% of debris: wood, yard trash, concrete, and metals • Estimated 41 years of life at 2012 intake rates

Requested Class III Permit Modifications • Change from C&D Waste to Class III Waste (very similar waste) • Allows for a larger market and more recyclables • No expansion of existing 220 acre landfill (173 acre landfill area) • No traffic increase over C&D permitted trucks/day • Landfill hill gently slopes (11 degrees) – maximum height 50’ above pre-landfill grade vs. existing 43’ height waiver • Estimated 39 years of life as a Class III

C&D Debris vs. Class III Wastes C&D Debris Class III Wastes • Steel*, glass, and brick • C&D Debris • Concrete* and asphalt material* • Yard trash* • Pipe • Processed tires • Gypsum wallboard • Asbestos • Lumber* • Carpet* • Yard trash* • Cardboard* and paper • Rocks and soil • Glass and plastic • Land clearing debris (trees)* • Furniture (other than appliances) • Clean cardboard* • Paper and plastic • Wood* and metal scraps* *currently recycled/to be recycled at MFM landfill

Landfill Operational Controls • Noise Control Orange County Code Enforcement • Odor Control • Monthly Inspections • Noise • Vibration Control • Odor • Dust Control and Visual Emissions • Dust • Litter Control • Litter • Waste Screening – Prohibit • Truck Traffic non-C&D/Class III wastes • Annual Reporting • Truck Traffic Controls FDEP Oversight • Emergency Plans – Fire, Hurricane • Quarterly on-Site Inspections • Setbacks and Visual Buffering • Annual Reporting • Complaint Response • Odor and Groundwater Quality Rules MFM has an excellent • Quarterly and Semiannual Reports compliance record

Prohibited Wastes • Oils • Automobiles and Parts • Whole Tires • Florescent Lamps and Ballasts • Paints • Thermostats • Batteries • Gas Cans • Chemicals • Drums • Chromated Copper Arsenate • Household Garbage (CCA)-treated wood • Septic Tanks and Grease Traps • Food Wastes • Liquids and Sludges • White Goods (appliances) • Class I Waste • Toxic and Hazardous Waste • Any Other Wastes Not Specifically Classified as Class III Wastes Certified and Trained Spotters/Operators Check Each Load

Odor Control Plan • Weekly soil cover • Weekly odor monitoring by operator with hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) meter • Quarterly odor monitoring at property line • Quarterly report to FDEP and OCEPD – “no odors detected” • Final cover with gas controls • All yard waste recycled • Facility never cited for odor problem

Truck Traffic Controls • Speed limit enforcement by off-duty sheriffs on Golden Gem Road • Most truck traffic driving off-peak weekday times • No truck parking allowed on Golden Gem Road • No trucks/customer traffic from north of landfill on Golden Gem Road • Permit condition to build turn lane at Ponkan and Golden Gem, if needed • Closed Golden Gem Class III Landfill traffic removed (+200 trucks/day)

Projected Traffic Class III Landfill 180 Average of 175 Trucks per day is stated in current permits 160 140 Trucks per Day 120 100 80 60 40 20 C&D Class III 0 2003 2007 2010 2011 2012 2014 Years

Community Benefits • Creates 6 direct and an estimated 20 indirect jobs • Adding a liner and cap on landfill to protect Wekiva Basin water quality • Increased recycling – towards 75% state/county goal by 2020 (may add 10 jobs at future recycling center) • $21,000,000 in construction expenditures over 40 years • To provide 120-220 acre park at closure – increased recreation area and open space (current donation agreement for 120 acres) • Hurricane waste staging area

Proposed Class III Landfill Will Provide a Needed Service • Orange County EPD approved Project Need Assessment • Adjacent Golden Gem Class III Landfill closed in May 2012 • Only 3 remaining Class III landfills in Orange County – Orange County Class III – East Orange – Vista Class III – South Apopka – Proposed MFM Class III – Northwest Orange • Provides needed Class III disposal cost competition to keep disposal fees lower for local businesses and the County • Increase in Class III recyclables to help meet County goals
