Positive Impacts: Employment Information for On-site Jobs

The Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) database provided information on the number of employees and sales volume for on-site businesses. D&B provides
information on businesses and corporations. It maintains a database of over 179 million companies globally and over 53 million professional contact
names using a variety of sources, including public records, trade references, telecommunication providers, newspapers and publications, and telephone
interviews.

Positive Impacts: Wage and Income Information for On-site Jobs

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provided wage and income information. The BLS is a governmental statistical agency that collects, processes,
analyzes and disseminates essential statistical data to the American public, the U.S. Congress and other federal agencies in the broad field of labor
economics and statistics. The data provided by the BLS have high standards of accuracy and consistently high statistical quality, and impartiality in both
subject matter and presentation.

The BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages database provided average weekly wage data for each of the businesses located at the FMC Corp.
(Yakima Pit) Superfund site. Average weekly wage data were identified by matching the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes
corresponding with each type of business with weekly wage data for corresponding businesses in Yakima County. If not available at the county level, wage
data were sought by state or national level, respectively. In cases where wage data were not available for the six-digit NAICS code, higher level (less
detailed) NAICS codes were used to obtain the wage data.

To determine the annual wages (mean annual) earned from jobs generated by each of the businesses located at the FMC Corp. (Yakima Pit) Superfund
site, the average weekly wage figure was multiplied by the number of weeks in a year (52) and by the number of jobs (employees) for each of the
businesses.
