(Carlton)is pleased to present the attached report containing the results of our <br /> geotechnical feasibility study for the Lodi Energy Center project site in Lodi, San Joaquin County, <br /> California. It is our understanding that the site is ultimately proposed for development with power <br /> generation facilities with approximately 250 Megawatts capacity. The study was conducted in <br /> accordance with our Professional Services agreement, dated May 27, 2008 approving Carlton's Scope of <br /> Work found attached to the Professional Services agreement. <br /> The accompanying report presents our findings, conclusions and recommendations developed from our <br /> geotechnical feasibility study. Contained in the report are preliminary geotechnical recommendations for <br /> earthwork, as well as descriptions of soils and geology likely to be encountered on the site, and seismic <br /> and geologic hazards. The results of subsurface exploration,which form the basis of our conclusions and <br /> recommendations,are also included in the report. <br /> On the basis of our study, the site is feasible, from a geotechnical perspective, to receive the planned <br /> power facility, provided the recommendations included in this report are supplemented with a design- <br /> level geotechnical study. If you have any questions regarding the information contained in this report,or <br /> if we may be of further assistance,please do not hesitate to contact us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CARLTON ENGINEERING,INC. <br /> David B.Jermstad,P.G.,C.E.G. <br /> Vice President/Geotechnical Manager <br />
