the cost issues, I think your point about a WTE facility recovering some energy and the hazardous waste incinerator using energy with no energy recovery is an important observation. We need to look at these disposal issues holistically and consider such things
as relative impacts on greenhouse gases. </font></div>

<div class="Section1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Hi Cheri and others,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I respect your opinion, but I have to disagree with your statement that “Hazardous Waste disposal is safer disposal method than a Waste-to-energy facility”.
A hazardous waste incinerator does effective destroy waste pharmaceuticals, but is not necessarily the best method of disposing of waste pharmaceuticals environmentally. Yes, the hazardous waste incinerator is operated at a higher temperature, but just because
it is higher does not mean it is better. Typically a modern US WTE facility is combusting the solid waste at approximately 2500<sup>o</sup>F and the waste is in the boiler for approximately 45 minutes, more than is necessary to destroy organic compounds. Higher
temperature combustion increases the likelihood that a greater amount of nitrous oxides gases(NOx) are being generated and thereby also needing to be removed or potentially emitted into the atmosphere.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">A high percentage of the pharmaceutical waste is solid waste, not hazardous waste and is best handled in a facility designed to destroy that waste. Waste
to Energy Facilities and Hazardous Waste incinerators are very similar in their air pollution control technology, they both have combustion controls to assure temperature and residence time minimums; acid gas scrubbers for SO<sub>2</sub>, HCL and HF gases;
baghouses for particulate control; continuous emission monitors; activated carbon injection; and active NO<sub>x</sub> emission control.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Boiler temperatures vary in both types of facilities due to varying waste types, but regulatory minimums are always achieved with additional air or fuel.
Both types of facilities are monitored continuously (every 15 seconds) for the same items. Hazardous waste incinerators are typically required to do a stack test twice a year vs. a WTE Facility with only once a year. Modern Hazardous waste incinerators and
WTE Facilities that are in compliance with MACT regulations are clean and do an effective job in destroying waste pharmaceuticals so they don’t cause any environmental problems.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The big difference in the facilities is that a WTE facility generates energy vs. a hazardous waste incinerator which uses large quantities of energy. A hazardous
waste incinerator utilizes large quantities of fossil fuels (natural gas, propane, used fuel oil, virgin fuel oil) to maintain high temperature in a refractory lined fire box or rotating kiln. A Waste-to energy facility combusts solid waste in a heat recovery
boiler with a self sustaining fire, recovers the heat in the form of high pressure/high temperature steam and typically generates electricity utilizing a steam turbine/generator. Contrary to your assertion, temperatures are very consistent in a modern WTE
facility and probably vary less than a hazardous waste incinerator that destroys liquids and wet solids. For these items, more fuel is necessary to maintain a minimum temperature to assure destruction.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The ash from the Spokane WTE facility has not been a problem, it contains items that do not burn, glass, metals and dirt. Spokane tests it’s ash quarterly
for the last 18 years and disposed of it in an ash monofill. The important issue is that all the organics are destroyed. Globally, EPA classifies WTE facilities as a greenhouse gas reducer because it avoids methane generation from landfills; generates energy
that would have been generated by fossil fuels; and recycles metals from the ash. Generally every ton of waste combusted, reduces the greenhouse gas emissions in the environment by 1 ton eCO<sub>2</sub>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I think the biggest impediment for the proper disposal of waste pharmaceutical is cost. Not recovering the energy value in the waste and utilizing fossil
fuels to destroy the waste is expensive and unnecessary. The cost to incinerate at $1.00/lb. is equivalent to $2000.00/ton. Spokane charges $165.00/ton or 8.25 cents/lb. Spokane’s regular garbage rate is $98.00/ton. Please keep in mind that the majority of
waste pharmaceuticals are in the garbage and are processed effectively daily in communities that have WTE Facilities. There are over 89 facilities in the USA, we need to support these facilities and encourage them and the communities to take waste pharmaceuticals
and avoid the not in my backyard attitude. Also note that Covanta has committed free destruction for only 2010, but to be fair, it is not free, someone is paying.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We are working toward disposal of all medicines as hazardous waste for several reasons. First, if the RCRA chemical products lists were updated to include the
new medicines developed in the last 30 years, about 15 percent of medicines would designate as HW. Because the HW drugs are mixed with the non-HW drugs, it is better to dispose of the entire batch as hazardous waste.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">FAIRFIELD, N.J., March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- To reduce pharmaceutical pollutants being discharged into the nation's waterways, Covanta Energy is launching an important collaboration
with municipalities. As more and more communities establish collection centers for unwanted medications, Covanta will offer, for 2010, a free disposal and destruction service designed to keep these products out of the nation's waterways.
</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Covanta Energy, a world leader in the development, ownership and operation of Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facilities and other renewable energy projects, is rolling out a national
program to process pharmaceuticals collected by local governments in drug take-back programs. These programs provide residents with a safe and proper way to dispose of unwanted medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter and veterinary medications
and nutritional supplements. When flushed down the drain, or disposed of in landfills, such products contaminate surface waters and have an adverse effect on the environment.</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"Studies have shown that pharmaceuticals are present in our nation's streams and rivers. We want to help prevent the discharge of these drugs into the waters that we drink,
the waters where we fish and the waters where we swim," said John G. Waffenschmidt, Vice President, Environmental Science and Community Affairs. "Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art combustion controls and air pollution control equipment to ensure
the destruction of these drugs in an environmentally sound manner, one that protects the water we depend upon day in and day out. Our facilities ensure that any pharmaceuticals processed in them do not end up in surface waters."
</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Covanta is a Sustaining Partner of the Product Stewardship Institute (PSI), a non-profit group which has been spearheading national efforts to define steps for appropriately
handling unwanted drugs. Covanta has worked with PSI, various regulatory agencies, and with municipalities to reduce the potential for contamination of waterways by discharged pharmaceuticals.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"Drugs that are disposed of down sinks and toilets, or simply thrown in the trash, can cause environmental harm," said Scott Cassel, Executive Director of the Product Stewardship
Institute. "Take-back programs can lower the environmental and health risks associated with waste pharmaceuticals. Covanta's offer will reduce the cost of take-back programs in municipalities that choose this kind of destruction. Thermal destruction at Energy-from-Waste
facilities, hazardous waste incinerators, or medical waste incinerators, provides for the ultimate destruction of these unwanted drugs."</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Municipalities interested in participating in the program must obtain appropriate regulatory approvals in order to ensure that such wastes are not classified as hazardous
waste from a federal, state, or local perspective. Each program would be subject to a due diligence review by Covanta Energy. Municipalities interested in participating should contact Larry DellaVecchia, Director, Covanta Secure Services at 973-882-7310.
