Project Matching: Facilitating New Renewable Energy Projects
Project Proposal Submittal Form

The EPA Green Power Partnership's (GPP's) Project Matching Initiative works to connect stakeholders
with new, not-yet-built renewable energy projects that may align with their energy, environmental, and
financial objectives. The initiative's goal is to spur the development of new renewable generation by
facilitating the signing of long-term green power contracts between end-users and project developers,
thereby providing a guaranteed stream of revenue that developers can use to secure project financing.

The GPP, in collaboration with EPA's RE-Powering America's Land Initiative, will host a project matching
webinar on Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Project developers are invited to submit project proposals to
GPP for possible inclusion in the webinar. This form includes all anticipated criteria that EPA will use to
select projects for the webinar. All projects submitted for review that meet minimum requirements for
data completeness and basic eligibility will be posted on the GPP website. A renewable energy project's
inclusion in this initiative does not constitute endorsement or recommendation by EPA.

Project proposals are due by June 5, 2015 and must be submitted electronically to James Critchfield,
critchfield.james@epa.gov.

Project Summary

Project name: Milliken Landfill Solar

Developer name: PVNavigator, LLC

Renewable energy type: Solar

Project city/state: Ontario, CA

Project geographic coordinates (To find, use: www.latlong.net/):

Latitude 34.038677	 Longitude -117.565900	

Total planned megawatt (MW DC) size: 3.9

Are there phases? If so, how many and in what size traunches? No

What is the expected annual output of the completed project (MWh)? 6,200


-------
Expected date of construction commencement: 12/1/2015
Expected date of commercial operation: 1/1/2016

What is the largest development hurdle and how is it anticipated to be overcome? CEQA
Can you provide examples of similar projects you have developed?

PVNavigator, LLC completed a pilot study of a solar racking system on top of a closed landfill in
Monterey Park, CA. This research was funded by the California Energy Commission. A final report of the
findings and a development guide was created specifically for developers to use in order to develop
solar facilities on top of closed landfill sites. The final report can be downloaded at the following link:

Site Readiness

Has the project received all necessary federal, state, and local permits to proceed with construction and
operation? If not, please outline the key permits required to proceed with project
construction/operation and describe the steps you have taken in order to evaluate and address
permitting risk for this project.

Still need a construction permit from the County of San Beranrdino.

Have you secured long-term site control? If so, please describe the nature of the agreement (lease,
ownership, etc.)?

Yes. The county of San Bernardino issued a RFP for the lease of their landfills for the development of
solar facilities. PVNavigator, LLC was selected to develop a solar facility at the Milliken Landfill by the
County of San Bernardino and have a long term option agreement in place that will then turn into a long
term lease agreement for the site.

Have land leases been filed with the county?

Yes

Does the project require either an Environmental Impact Statement or Environmental Assessment? If
so, what is the status?

Since the site is a landfill the only CEQA approvals needed are an amendment to the Negative
Declaration that already exists for the site.

Is this project sited on a current or formerly contaminated land, landfill or mine site?1 If so, has the
site addressed the related environmental issues?

Yes-Landfill

1 Examples of such properties could include brownfields, municipal solid waste landfills, abandoned mine lands,
and Superfund sites, among others subject to state or federal authorities or cleanup programs.


-------
Interconnection

What is the status of interconnection, and have system impact and facility studies been completed?
(Distribution or transmission level projects are both eligible)

Yes

When do you expect the interconnection study process will be complete?

Completed

Does the transmission owner (TO) or independent system operator (ISO) have a process to study the
project's impact on the local or regional grid and the subsequent cost to interconnect?

Yes

Operation & Financing

Is any element of the project - technology or systems - experimental or pilot-phase or proven
technology?

Proven technology

What is the long- and short-term plan for operating and maintaining the project?

General O&M during the 20+ year lifespan of the facility

For wind projects, has a meteorological tower been installed? If yes, when was the tower installed
and how much data has been collected?

N/A
