I. Executive Summary

A. Project Description

1. Project Scope and Need. Access to public water and sewer are important for the
development of commercial property. The availability of public utilities is a factor in the
selection of property for development. To aid economic growth, creation of jobs, and property
development, the Monroe County Port Authority is providing planning and funding resources to
facilitate the construction of the required utilities.

2. Planning Area & Implementing Authority. The planning area includes the property along
State Route 7 north of the Village of Clarington in Monroe County, Ohio. This property is
ideally situated along the Ohio River with access to barge transportation, rail transportation, and
highway transportation. Approximately 50 acres is owned by AEP (Franklin Real Estate) and is
being considered for development. The property is in the planning area of Monroe County. The
nearest public sewer authority is the Village of Clarington, two miles south of the property.

B. Purpose of the Study

1. Preliminary Engineering Report. This report contains a summary of the information

gathered from AEP, Appalachian Resins, the Village of Clarington, ODOT, Niagara Worldwide
(owner of railroad), and Consol Energy. Options and alternatives for treating the waste water are
listed with associated cost estimates. The conclusions identify the next steps in obtaining
funding for extending the utilities.

C. Recommendations

Providing public sewer to the industrial site will aid in the development of the property north of
the Village of Clarington. The Village of Claringtons waste water treatment plant has capacity
to treat sanitary sewage from office buildings and restrooms facilities. A lift station and force
main could be installed from the AEP property to the Village of Clarington for the sanitary
sewage. For the industrial wastes and process water, a separate industrial waste water treatment
plant could be constructed on the AEP property or centrally located within the available
industrial properties.

Based on the conclusions of this report, the following steps should be pursued:

1. Detailed Design. The subsequent phase is detailed design of the sanitary force main and
lift station. This would include design of a lift station and force main to pump sanitary
waste water from potential administrative office buildings and restrooms to the Village of
Claringtons Waste Water Treatment Plant. A separate waste water treatment plant
would be designed for the industrial waste water. The treatment system for the industrial
process water would be located either on the Appalachian Resins property or centrally
located within the industrial properties.

2. Application for Permits. The next step is to apply for a permit to install (PTI) from the
Ohio EPA for the lift station and force main. A modification to the Village of
Claringtons discharge permit (NPDES) may be required as well.

3. Project Funding and Construction. The final step is to secure funding for the project and
install the waste water treatment system. The Village of Clarington is currently paying
on a loan for the existing sewer system and treatment plant and is not able to finance any
capital projects. One option for the Port Authority is to create a tax increment incentive
financing district to generate revenue to pay a low interest loan.

II. Flow and Organic Loading of Proposed Ethane Plant

The development of horizontal drilling and fracking has made it possible to produce oil and gas
from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations in Southeastern Ohio. The infrastructure to
support these developments includes collection lines, compressor stations, and transmission
lines. With the availability of gas and oil in the area, there is potential to construct gas
processing plants, ethane plants, and ethylene plants. Ethylene is a basic component of plastic
and could provide raw materials for the development of plastics industries in the area.

A. Plant Description

Applachian Resins has signed a letter of intent to lease 50 acres for the construction
of an ethylene / polyethylene plant. The proposed capacity of the plant is 600
million pounds of ethylene / polyethylene per year. The plan will need utilities
including public water and sewer for the administration offices and plant.

B. Waste Water Sources

a. Hydocarbon contaminated waste steams ~ 200,000 gallon per day
b. Neutralized and Oxidized spent caustic
c. Cooling water blowdown
d. Sanitary Sewage from approximately 170 people ~ 4,250 gallon per day
e. Storm water from non-contaminated areas

C. Future Situation

The property along the Ohio River on State Route 7 north of Clarington Ohio is prime industrial
property. The property has access to river and railroad transportation is 25 miles south of
Interstate 70. In addition to the development of the 50 acre AEP property, there are 200
additional acres of property owned by Consol Energy that is vacant. Environmental studies will
need to be conducted to determine the potential development of this property. For this report, it
is assumed that four additional industries similar in size to Appalachian Resins could be
developed on adjacent property.

D. Flow Projections

A 4 force main and lift station would handle the sanitary sewage from the Appalachian
Resins plant as well as four additional plants. Using the sanitary sewage flow projection for
Appalachian Resins and multiplying it by five, the projected sanitary sewage (non-industrial
wastes) that could be pumped to the Village of Claringtons Waste Water Treatment Plant is
21,250 gallons per day.

The industrial process water projections are more difficult to predict. The onsite industrial
process water treatment plant should be sized large enough to handle Appalachian Resins and
meet the requirements of Ohio Jobs Ready Site criteria. With this in mind, the industrial
waste water treatment plant should be able to handle at least 300,000 gallon per day. The
plant should be constructed in a modular fashion so that it could be easily expanded to handle
additional wastes from other developments.

III. Impact on Existing Waste Water Facilities

A. Waste Water Collection and Treatment System Infrastructure

The existing waste water collection infrastructure in the Village of Clarington is

described below.

1. Collection Lines: Gravity sanitary sewer lines ranging from 4 to 8 collect the
waste water from the houses and businesses throughout Clarington.

2. Lift Stations: The Village of Clarington has 7 lift stations, 6 of which pump into a
4 force main that leads to the Waste Water Treatment Plant.

3. Waste Water Treatment Plant: An 80,000 gallon per day activated sludge
treatment plant treats the waste water. The effluent is discharged into Stillhouse
Run which empties into the Ohio River. The sludge is dewatered on drying beds
and hauled to a landfill. The Ohio EPA NPDES permit identification number is
0PA00037GD.

Expansion: The average daily flow of the Village of Claringtons Waste Water
Treatment plant is 30,000 gallons per day. The existing flows are well under the rated
capacity of 80,000 gallons per day for the plant. It is estimated that plant could easily
accept 25,000 gallons per day or more. Treatment of industrial wastes would likely
require additional equipment.

IV. Engineering Criteria

All new wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure must conform to the requirements of
the Ohio EPA and 10 State Standards. Permits from the Ohio EPA will be required for
construction of new or significant modifications to existing water and sewer infrastructure.

The industrial treatment plant could include an oil separator, equalization tank, dosing for
Nitrogen and P, submerged fixed media bed, and Lamella settler.

V. Site Information

The AEP property site location along the river is a former industrial site. There are ponds on the
site that were used in the previous industrial processes. The site is below the 100 year flood
plain.

VI: Environmental Information

Phase I Assessment. Hull, an Environmental consultant, has completed a phase 1 environmental

assessment of the AEP property. They are prepared to begin Phase II when Appalachian Resins
gives the authorization to proceed.

VII. Alternative Selection

The Village of Clarington has capacity to treat the projected flows (21,250 gpd) of sanitary, non-
industrial waste water from the build-out of the available property north of Clarington. It is
preferable for the industry to treat the industrial process water (200,000 gpd) on site, rather than
pump it to the Village of Clarington. This is based on the limited capability for a small Waste
Water Treatment Plant like Claringtons to adequately treat a waste of this nature when the
industrial waste stream may be such a large percentage of the total flow.

A. Waste Water Treatment

Three alternatives were considered for providing the needed treatment of wastewater
generated by the proposed plant.

1. Pump all waste water from the Industrial Sites to Clarington, replace the existing
waste water treatment plant, and discharge to Stillhouse Run.
a. Includes approximately 4,250 gallon per day of sanitary sewage from the
office building and 200,000 gallon per day of process water.
i. Cost $3-$4 million.

2. New Waste Water Treatment Plant on Appalachian Resins site to treat both sanitary
sewage and industrial wastes. Discharge would go to the Ohio River.
a. Includes approximately 4,250 gallon per day of sanitary sewage from the
office building and 200,000 gallon per day of process water.
i. Cost $2.5 - 3.5 million.

3. Pump Sanitary Sewage from Industrial Sites to Clarington and treat the Industrial
waste water onsite. Discharge would go to the Ohio River.
a. Pump sanitary sewage from restrooms, sinks, and showers to Clarington. This
would include a lift station with a 4 force main would pump the sanitary
sewage to the Village of Clarington. The force main would allow future
commercial development between the AEP site and Clarington to tie into
public sewer.
i. Cost - $700,000
b. Onsite Industrial Waste Water Treatment Plant
i. Cost $3 million

VIII: Conclusions

Providing access to public sewer along State Route 7 north of Clarington will aid industrial and
commercial development in this area. As the possibilities for development are further
investigated, the leading option for sewer may become apparent. If a lift station and force main
from the AEP site to the Village of Clarington are feasible, the Port Authority could seek funding
for detailed design and construction.

The details and specific characteristics of the industrial process waste water will be identified as
the Appalachian Resins plant is designed. Detailed costs for design and construction of the
industrial waste water treatment plant can be determined when the specific waste water volume
and biological oxygen demand (BOD) are identified.

1. The Aqueous Liquid effluents can basically be clustered into three groups
A) HC contaminated water streams from

Process water blow down (continuous at 70 gpm)

Coke collecting basis at decoking (discontinuous)
Coke separator at quenching tower (discontinuous)
Drainage of low points and sumps (discontinuous)
Effluents from slop drums (discontinuous)
Surface run off from possibly contaminated areas

Above effluent streams are routed to a CPI oil separator where tree hydrocarbons are separated from
the water. Treated water is sent to BL for further treatment in a central WW treatment unit.

This water is low in TDS and is loaded during normal operation with the following contaminants:

COD: 500 - 2000 mg/I

TOC: < 1200 mg/l
Oil/HC: < 50 mg/l
Benzene: < 1 mg/l

Expected flow rate: 10 -30 m3/h

B) Neutralized and oxidized spent caustic

Spent caustic derives from the oxidizer unit that oxidizes sulfide to sulfate. This stream is high in TDS
and meets the following specification:

COD: 500 - 2000 mg/I

TOC: < 1200 mg/l
Na2S2O3: < 2000 mg/l
Na2S: < 20 ppm
Benzene: < 1 ppm
Phenol: < 20 ppm
pH: 6 8

Expected flow rate: 2 - 3 t/h

C)Storm
C) Cooling tower
water fromblowdown, which would
non-contaminated areas essentially contained solids that remain after intake
water from the River has been evaporated. This residual has to be blown down in order to keep
things running properly. The cooling tower blowdown could potentially be returned to the River, or
sent for treatment. The estimated volume is 300 gallons/minute.

D) Sanitary Sewage from Office Building & Restroom Facilities

Approximately 170 people x 25 gallons per day = 4,250 gallon per day

E) Storm water from non-contaminated areas

 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING INCENTIVE DISTRICTS
(INCLUDING PROVISIONS ENACTED BY AMENDED SUBSTITUTE HB 66,
ENACTED JUNE 2005, AND BY AMENDED HB 530, ENACTED MARCH 2006)

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is an economic development mechanism available to local

governments in Ohio to finance public infrastructure improvements and, in certain
circumstances, residential rehabilitation. A TIF works by locking in the taxable worth of real
property at the value it holds at the time the authorizing legislation was approved. Payments
derived from the increased assessed value of any improvement to real property beyond that
amount are directed towards a separate fund to finance the construction of public
infrastructure defined within the TIF legislation.

A TIF may be comprised of specific parcels or an Incentive District. An Incentive District

TIF is defined as (a) an aggregation of individual parcels of real property comprising an area
no larger than 300 contiguous acres and (b) exhibits one or more characteristics of economic
distress, as listed in 5709.40(A)(5) of the O.R.C. Note that an Incentive District TIF may
not include any parcel that is currently included in a TIF (whether parcel or another Incentive
District TIF). Municipalities, townships, or counties may establish these Incentive Districts.
The Service Payments collected through an Incentive District TIF can be used to fund public
infrastructure improvements anywhere within the district, even if the public infrastructure
does not directly benefit every parcel within the district.

Local governments may authorize Incentive District TIFs to fund a number of public
infrastructure needs including public roads and highways, water and sewer lines, remediation,
land acquisition, demolition, the provision of gas, electric, and communications service
facilities, and the enhancement of public waterways (note: public infrastructure does not
include police or fire equipment for Incentive Districts TIFs created after March 30, 2006,
and no Incentive District TIF service payments collected in such Districts may be used for
such purposes). Along with public infrastructure improvements previously noted, Service
Payments generated from private improvements in an Incentive District TIF may be used to
fund residential housing renovation projects as long as the TIF includes a public
infrastructure component. (Also note: the legislation must identify one or more commercial
or industrial specific projects that are or will be undertaken in the TIF that will place
additional demand on the public infrastructure improvements designated in the legislation).
Note that, while this Incentive District TIF provision previously had a sunset date of June 30,
2007, Amended Substitute House Bill 66 (passed June 2005) eliminated the sunset date.

A taxpayer whose operations are located within an Incentive District TIF continues to make
payments to the jurisdiction in an amount equal to the real property tax liability that
otherwise would have been due had the property not been exempted. These payments in lieu
of taxes, or Service Payments, are collected by the county treasurer in the same manner as
real property taxes, but are deposited into separate public improvement tax increment
equivalent funds.

ELIGIBILITY

For Incentive District TIFs created after January 1, 2006, certain thresholds must be met in
order for the local jurisdiction (municipality, township, or county) to enter into this type of
TIF. For any municipality, township, or county with a population (based on the most recent
federal census) of 25,000 or more, an Incentive District TIF can be created only if the value
of real property located within all Incentive Districts, including the proposed Incentive
District, will not exceed 25% of the jurisdictions total real property valuation. Communities
with a population of at least 25,000 that are considering creating an Incentive District TIF
after January 1, 2006, must compute the following valuations: a) for property located within
the proposed TIF, determine the taxable value of the property during the preceding tax year;
and, b) determine what would have been the taxable value of property located within an
Incentive District TIF during the preceding tax year that would have been taxable but for the
fact that the property was located in an Incentive District TIF. Finally, divide the sum of a)
and b) by the total taxable value of real property located in the jurisdiction for the preceding
tax year. If the result of this calculation does not exceed .25, the proposed Incentive District
TIF can be created.

TAX BENEFIT

A local political jurisdiction may exempt the value of private improvements from real
property taxes up to 75 percent for a term of up to 10 years. The TIF authorizing legislation
enacted by the municipality, township, or county must specify the rate and term of real
property tax exemptions. Local jurisdictions seeking to offer greater amounts of assistance
under the TIF must first obtain the concurrence of the affected board(s) of education and the
statutorily required additional government entities. With the concurrence of its school
board(s) and the additional government entity, a local political jurisdiction may exempt the
value of improvements up to 100 percent for a term of up to 30 years. Note that in
municipalities, TIF Incentive District exemptions for real estate improvements up to 100
percent or up to 30 years may be made without the concurrence of the affected board(s) of
education if the TIF authorizing legislation provides that service payments in lieu of taxation
will be made to the affected board(s) of education in an amount that would have been payable
to the affected board(s) of education if the improvements had not been exempted from
taxation.

SCHOOL BOARD INVOLVEMENT

State law requires that local political jurisdictions notify, and in some cases obtain the
concurrence of, affected school boards prior to enacting Incentive District TIF authorizing
legislation. Municipalities, townships, and counties are required to notify all affected boards
of education at least 14 calendar days prior to their formal consideration of proposed
Incentive District TIF legislation. If the Incentive District TIF proposes an exemption greater
than 75 percent or a term in excess of 10 years, local governmental entities must provide
notice specifically to the affected city, village, and exempted school boards at least 45
business days prior to their formal consideration. State law provides that the school board
notification include the specific parcels or Incentive District TIF boundaries comprising the
TIF, the estimated value of the real property improvements, and the exemption benefit levels.

The affected boards of education must approve, conditionally approve, or reject any proposed
exemptions in excess of the statutory rate and term limits. Note that State law allows a board
of education to (a) waive their rights to approve proposed TIF exemptions, or (b) grant local
governmental entities the ability to provide notice in fewer than 45 business days in
applicable circumstances. After the appropriate notice to the affected board(s) of education,
the local jurisdiction must formally approve the TIF legislation in an open public meeting.

In those municipalities that levy their own income taxes, if the respective project receiving
assistance generates annual payroll for new employees of $1,000,000 or more, legislatively
authorized Incentive District TIFs must be accompanied by revenue sharing agreements with
the affected city, village, and/or exempted school board(s). If a municipality and its above
mentioned school board(s) fail to execute an acceptable compensation agreement within six
months following the passage of the legislation, State law mandates that the municipal
income tax revenues generated from the new employees be divided on a 50/50 basis between
the two parties. This arrangement must occur in each year that the Incentive District TIF is in
effect and the statutory payroll threshold is satisfied. Given the requirement that income tax
revenues are shared with the affected board(s) of education, municipalities must collect
employment and payroll information regarding the project prior to enacting the legislation
and annually monitor such project data.

ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY INVOLVEMENT

Originating with Am. Sub. HB 66, if a municipal or township Incentive District TIF created
on or after January 1, 2006 proposes an exemption greater than 75 percent and/or a term in
excess of 10 years, the local jurisdiction enacting the Incentive District TIF must notify the
county prior to enacting its legislation. The county commissioners must be notified at least
45 business days prior to acting on the legislation to create the district. The notice must:
include a copy of the proposed legislation, identify the parcels in the proposed district,
provide an estimate of the true value of the improvements that will be made in the district,
state the duration and percentage of the exemption, and state the date on which the legislation
will be adopted. The county may accept or object, through legislation, to the rate and/or
term of the exemption proposed under the Incentive District TIF and certify this legislation to
the local jurisdiction within 30 days of notice receipt. If the county does not object, the
municipality or township may adopt the Incentive District TIF and no compensation is
thereafter payable to the county. If the county objects to the rate and/or term, a negotiation
between the county and local jurisdiction may be made that will provide compensation to the
county. The compensation may not exceed the property taxes foregone by the county as a
result of the exemption. If following an objection no compensation agreement is reached, the
legislation creating the Incentive District TIF must provide compensation to the county in the
11th and subsequent years of the exemption period. The compensation will be equal to 50% of
the countys foregone taxes or, if the objection was to the exemption percentage in excess of
75%, the compensation will be equal to not more than 50% of the countys property taxes
foregone that are in excess of the 75% exemption. For example, for a 100 percent, 30-year
Incentive District TIF, the compensation could be in effect from years 11 through 30, and the
calculated compensation would be not more than 12.5 percent of the exempted value (100
percent minus the 75 percent threshold, divided by two).

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

If, in conjunction with an Incentive District TIF, the municipality, township, or county
establishing the district plans on applying for the real property exemptions on behalf of the
real property owners located within the district, the jurisdiction is statutorily required to hold
a public hearing prior to district approval. Notice of this public hearing and a copy of the
proposed legislation must be sent to and received by every real property owner whose
property is located within the proposed district boundaries at least 30 days prior to the public
hearing. Note that this hearing must be held at least 30 days prior to the passage of the
Incentive District TIF enabling legislation.

For Incentive District TIFs created after January 1, 2006, service payments in lieu of taxation
must be made to the taxing authorities that make certain tax levies as follows:

A tax levied under division (L) of Section 5705.19 or Section 5709.191 of the ORC for
community mental retardation and developmental disabilities programs and services
pursuant to Chapter 5126 of the ORC.
A tax levied under division (Y) of Section 5705.19 of the ORC for providing or
maintaining senior citizens services or facilities.
A tax levied under Section 5705.22 of the ORC for county hospitals.
A tax levied by a joint-county district or by a county under section 5705.19, 5705.191 or
5705.221 of the ORC for alcohol, drug addiction, and mental health services or facilities.
A tax levied under Section 5705.23 of the ORC for library purposes
A tax levied under Section 5705.24 of the ORC for the support of children services and
the placement and care of children.
A tax levied under division (Z) of section 5705.19 of the Revised Code for provision and
maintenance of zoological park services and facilities under section 307.76 of the ORC.
A tax levied under section 511.27 or division (H) of section 5705.19 of the ORC of the
Revised Code for the support of township park districts.
A tax levied under division (A), (F), or (H) of section 5705.19 of the Revised Code for
parks and recreational purposes of a joint recreation district organized pursuant to
division (B) of section 755.14 of the Revised Code.
A tax levied under section 1545.20 or 1545.21 of the ORC for park district purposes.
A tax levied under Section 5709.191 of the ORC for public assistance, human or social
services, public relief, public welfare, public health and hospitalization, and support of
general hospitals.
A tax levied under section 3709.29 of the Revised Code for a general health district
program.

These levies must be passed after January 1, 2006, and must represent a new levy, a
replacement levy, or a renewal levy. For new levies, the amount of the service payment will
be equal to the amount of taxes from the new levy. For replacement or renewal levies, the
amount of the service payment will be equal to the increase in the effective tax rate of the
renewal or replacement levy.
