OPERATIONAL STATEMENT <br /> Page 2 <br /> The raw materials will be collected and brought to the site by means of trucks of <br /> various sizes up to 60 foot trailer combinations. The make up of raw materials will <br /> consist of but not limited to 1)waste wood in various forms such as pallets, <br /> construction wood, crates,fencing, 2)greenwaste such as brush, shrubs, lawn and <br /> yard clippings and trees in various forms including stumps and logs. There is also <br /> opportunities to handle bark from different trees for landscape uses. <br /> Most of the processing will occur inside the buildings however there may be some <br /> incidental or specialty handling which may need to occur outside because of the size <br /> and nature of materials being handled such as logs or stumps. This we would <br /> propose to accomplish behind appropriate screening which would be provided by <br /> planting shrubbery or trees. <br /> Additionally one of Weaver's specialties is the growing and transplanting of <br /> specimen trees. We can use a large portion of vacant area in front of the two main <br /> buildings to plant nursery stock which will provide an attractive buffer. <br /> The marketing of our products will be conducted on a wholesale basis. Most <br /> products will be sold in bulk form however we will look at some bagging and <br /> packaging for some of our markets. This would however be a small percentage of the <br /> total operation. Most of the outgoing products will be shipped via trucking however we <br /> do have rail capability and may use this to our advantage. <br /> III ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS <br /> First, we will accept no hazardous materials. There will be small amounts of <br /> incidental trash in our incoming loads and this will be sorted and placed in containers <br /> and disposed of at approved landfills. <br /> A water system is currently in place at the site, however the condition is uncertain. <br /> We will however meet the needs and concerns of the local fire department. <br /> Additionally the storage will be controlled in neat orderly stockpiles with adequate <br /> aisles and pile limitations. <br /> Dust will be mitigated with the current water system or by water truck. Odor and <br /> vector control has not been a problem at our other facilities however we will institute <br /> and plan for correction should something develop. It has been our experience that <br /> proper control of stockpiling will prevent problems from developing. <br />
