•Severe Damage To 2 Large Shopping Malls •Hail Storm In Denver, Hurricane Maria In Puerto Rico •Large Quantity Of Waste Generated •Not Recycled ABSTRACT These Storms Provide A Learning Experience And An Opportunity To Provide A Resilient Framework For Redevelopment After Natural Disasters And To Prevent Materials From Unnecessarily Entering Landfills In The Future.

INTRODUCTION Who Is Involved And What Are Their Roles: Simon Property Group And Keramida Climate Change Case Studies – Colorado, Puerto Rico Health Hazards Waste Prevention And Resilience

WHO IS INVOLVED AND WHAT ARE THEIR ROLES?

CLIMATE CHANGE

SIMON GROUP AND CLIMATE CHANGE The Changing Climate Elevated Intensity Of Weather Events And Disasters Increase In Frequency Of Natural Disasters And Weather Events

SIMON GROUP AND CLIMATE CHANGE “ decreased demand for retail space at certain of our properties” “indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of insurance on favorable terms” “ increasing the cost of energy and snow removal at our properties” Simon Mall Property Group, Annual Report 2017

SIMON GROUP AND CLIMATE CHANGE Direct Effect On Simon Properties (As Of May 2017) Colorado Mills Mall • Red – Reopened Businesses • Green – Closed Businesses

SIMON GROUP AND CLIMATE CHANGE Direct Effect on Simon Properties (as of Sept. 2017) Plaza Carolina Mall, September 2017 Aerial View Of Plaza Carolina Mall Before Water And Property Damage After Hurricane Maria Hurricane Maria

COLORADO MILLS MALL LAKEWOOD (DENVER AREA), COLORADO

DENVER, COLORADO - HAILSTORM • May 2017, “Billion Dollar Storm” • Hailstorm  Torrential Rain  Heavy Winds • Golf-ball Sized Hail (1.68in, Average Size = 0.8in-1in) • 4-5 In. Of Rainfall And Then 4-6 In. Of Snowmelt  Flash Flooding Problems • 2.3 BILLION In Damages • Cause Of A Hailstorm • Instability, High Dew Point, Strong Updraft

DENVER, COLORADO – HAILSTORM

Marked In History As The Most Expensive Hailstorm In Colorado Approx. $2.3 Billion In Insured Losses For More Than 267,000 Claims DENVER, COLORADO – HAILSTORM Colorado Mills Mall Water And Mold Damage, Roof Damage From Hail Due To Water Entering From Hail Damage On Roof

PLAZA CAROLINA MALL CAROLINA, PUERTO RICO

PUERTO RICO – HURRICANE MARIA September 2017 Category 4 Hurricane Worst Natural Disaster Ever Recorded For Puerto Rico

PUERTO RICO – HURRICANE MARIA PLAZA CAROLINA MALL • Located In Carolina, Puerto Rico • 2 Sizable Holes Where Majority Of Water Entered, Causing Mold Damage • No Power, No HVAC • Reached 90%+ Humidity Inside Mall • Caused Rapid Mold Growth • Unknown $ Amount In Damages

MOLD GROWTH AT PLAZA CAROLINA MALL

PLAZA CAROLINA MALL EXTREME MOLD DAMAGE

PLAZA CAROLINA MALL Major Structural Damage To Roof

MOST PROMINENT MATERIALS IN WASTE STREAM: MERCHANDISE DRYWALL WOOD FLOORING Waste PLYWOOD (BULKHEADS AND SUB-FLOORING SHELVING) CEILING TILE INSULATION

SIMON GROUP AND WASTE • Addresses Waste In 2017 Sustainability Report • Recycling • Food Waste Diversion Of Landfills • Construction Waste • No Specification On New Properties Or Rebuilding Properties

WASTE 1 2 Both Malls Dealt With Majority Of Waste Not Recyclable • Mold , Unsalvageable Porous Materials , And Asbestos

GATHERED WASTE FROM COLORADO MILLS MALL

WASTE Colorado Mills Mall • Focused On Replacing Everything ASAP For Re-opening Plaza Carolina Mall • Lag On Shipping Materials To The Island, Therefore Focused On Keeping Materials Onsite And Salvaging Materials. Re- Use.

WASTE • Mold Impacted Material • Visual Assessment • Moisture Meter • Porous Materials • Dry Wall, Carpet, Wood Flooring • Asbestos • Lead-Based Paint (Puerto Rico) • Merchandise Moisture Meter Reading At Plaza Carolina Mall

WASTE AT COLORADO MILLS THROWN OUT MATERIALS FROM HAILSTORM DAMAGE

WHERE DID THE WASTE GO? Mold, Porous Materials, Asbestos RCRA Subtitle D Landfills: Non-Haz Industrial Waste Landfill Construction And Demolition Debris Landfill Merchandise Shredded And Burned (To Prevent Resale And Health Risk) Landfill EPA: “Favors Source Reduction To Reduce Both The Volume And Toxicity Of Waste And To Increase The Useful Life Of Manufactured Products “

WASTE AND PUERTO RICO 1 2 3 Dealt With The Issue Of Mostly Salvaged What Plaza Carolina Mall Waste Landfills Already At Full Could Be Reused • Approx. 275, 30 Yard Dumpsters Capacity •1 Dumpster = 20’ Length, 8’ • Metal Frameworks Width, 6’ Height • Plumbing Fixtures • Approx. 10 Tons Per Dumpster • Flooring That Only Needed To Be (Drywall, Carpet, Ceiling Tile) Cleaned

PREVENTION AND RESILIENCE

RESILIENCE “RESILIENCE WAS VIEWED AS THE ABILITY OF A SYSTEM TO PREPARE FOR THREATS, ABSORB IMPACTS, RECOVER AND ADAPT FOLLOWING PERSISTENT STRESS OR A DISRUPTIVE EVENT.” “ R E S I L I E N C E A N D S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y : S I M I L A R I T I E S A N D D I F F E R E N C E S I N E N V I R O N M E N T A L M A N A G E M E N T A P P L I C A T I O N S ” .

PREVENTION OF WASTE • Use Of Improved Building Materials • Eliminate Asbestos When Possible • Flooring • Avoid Carpet And Wood Flooring – Use Tiling, Polished Concrete, Or Vinyl Flooring • Use Moisture-Resistant Wall Materials • Steel Studs And Beams; Cement Boards; Concrete Block; Glass Block; Brick; Plaster • Use Moisture-Resistant Flooring Materials • Clay, Quarry, Ceramic Tiles; Concrete Materials • Plastic Lumber • Decay Resistant Subflooring (Redwood, Cedar, Cypress, Oak) • Nonporous Stones And Waterproof Grout

RESILIENCE 01 02 03 Resilient Infrastructure Technology Choices, Connecting Short- And Implementation Availability, And Access Long-term Actions • Sturdier Roofs • Hard vs. Soft Tech • Long Term Sustainability • Flood Resistant Design Hazard ID, Social and • Building With Materials That Administrative Can Get Wet Or Easily Dry
