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. The Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS) number is a unique nine-digit identification number assigned by D&B to each business and its location within the D&B database for
identifying each business.

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

An interview with Sonoco Recycling, LLC Charleston Plant Manager Tim Nesbitt on May 3, 2012, and a telephone interview with a representative from
QualaWash Holdings, LLC on May 15, 2012, provided on-site job information.

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 has 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 Macalloy site.
Average weekly wage data was 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 Charleston County. If not available at the county level, wage data was sought by state or
national level, respectively. In cases where wage data was 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 Macalloy 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.
