AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council May 12, 2022
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 5/16/22
FROM: Steve Worley, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution - Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF): Beus Release of
Interest Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
Agreement
Map
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ______, authorizing the City
Manager to sign and execute the Process Water Reuse Facility Agreement with
Don and Quella Beus and Beus Farms, Inc. for the release of interest in the
United States Bureau of Reclamation Parcel No. 113080058.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Option 1: Provided the City receives the Washington State Department of
Ecology (Ecology) approval of the revised Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF)
Engineering Report, and Ecology permits Beus’ parcel to become part of the
PWRF land treatment system, the City agrees to pay Beus $258,420 for this
release of interest.
Option 2: If the City does not receive Ecology approval by March 31, 2023, for
adding Beus’ parcel to the PWRF Land Treatment System, the City will pay Beus
$350,000 for this release of interest.
These costs are covered by the 460 PWRF Fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City owns and operates the Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF). The
PWRF screens, filters, and/or stores over 900 million gallons of agricultural
Page 28 of 297
process wastewater each year. The wastewater is then pumped to over 1850
acres (14 farm circles) of crop land that provides the final treatment and disposal.
To accommodate the desire of existing food processors to grow their operations
and future system users, such as the Darigold plant, treatment capacity of the
PWRF needs to be increased. Winter storage capacity and the land treatment
system both need to be increased.
V. DISCUSSION:
During preliminary design work of the PWRF improvements, it was determined
that to accommodate projected storage demands, additional land would be
required. Staff reached out to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), Ephrata
office, about the possibility of purchasing the two 80-acre parcels they owned
immediately north and south of the PWRF property (See Exhibit A). These
properties are the most logical for acquisition due to proximity, availability and
physical characteristics, particularly the north parcel.
The USBR is amenable to selling these parcels to the City. However, the USBR
also received interest from a local farmer in purchasing the north parcel. With
two parties interested in the same USBR parcel, USBR indicated that they will
need to auction auction the contested parcel, a process they anticipate would
take a year to begin.
Staff contacted the other party, a local farmer, Mr. Beus, of Beus Farms Inc., to
determine under what conditions he would be willing to release his interest in the
north USBR property so that the City could purchase the property outright. Over
the past five months, the attached draft agreement was developed.
While there are a couple of minor items still being worked out between attorneys,
staff wanted to share this draft with Council and answer any questions.
This item was discussed at the May 9, 2022, Council Workshop meeting. City
staff recommends Council's approval of the proposed resolution authorizing the
City Manager to execute the agreement with Beus Farms Inc. once a ny minor
substantive changes are agreed upon.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
National Public Works week started in 1960 as an annual way to energize and
educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily lives. Planning,
building, managing and operating is at the heart of improving the everyday
quality of life for all.
V. DISCUSSION:
"Ready and Resilient" is the theme for the 2022 National Public Works Week.
Within every public works professional lies a superhero, which is dramatically
represented in this year's theme. Public works professionals are always READY
to serve their communities and RESILIENT as ever in their abilities to pick
themselves up off the ground after encountering challenges. This theme
highlights the ability of these professionals to perform regular public works duties
and be ready at a moment's notice to react as first responders during natural
disasters and overcome trials seen in the field.
Page 40 of 297
Public works superheroes help keep communities strong by providing an
infrastructure of services in transportation, water, wastewater, irrigation, an d
stormwater treatment, public buildings and spaces, emergency management
and first response, solid waste, and right-of-way management. They are what
make our communities great places to live and work.
Council and staff would like to take this opportunity to express appreciation to
the City's Public Works employees for their contributions and care for the safety
and health of residents, businesses and visitors of Pasco.

Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution - Regional Pavement Cut Policy
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
Regional Pavement Cut Policy
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4165, adopting the Regional
Pavement Construction and Design Pasco's Revision and Policy Cut to
Standards and Specifications for Public Works Improvements.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco (City) issues permits for construction work in the public right -
of-way. Many times, this work involves cutting and removing pavement from
existing streets. These permits are typically issued by utility companies adding
new facilities or replacing existing facilities, or by contractors when new
development or redevelopment requires extension and/or connection to utility
lines, or extension of a street.
While the City requires permittees to restore damage caused by construction,
cutting, removing, and patching of pavement, this work reduces the pavement's
effective service life. As the owner and agency responsible for pavement
maintenance, the City has an interest in obtaining high-quality pavement patches
that minimizes the negative impact on pavement service life.
Page 43 of 297
Over the past six months, the Cities of Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, and West
Richland have worked together to establish updated and uniform standards to
mitigate damage caused by removing pavement on public streets.
At the April 4, 2022, Council meeting, Council and staff agreed to bring this item
back after reviewing the proposed policy with the Development community and
further information is gathered.
On Thursday, May 5, 2022, Director Worley attended the monthly Developer
Outreach meeting with the City Engineer and the local development community.
The proposed policy was reviewed, and a discussion took place. The
development community was supportive of the regional policy, provided it did not
hold up the development of private property adjacent to Resurfaced Streets.
Pasco's interests are served by joining with the other cities in adopting uniform
standards that protect all City investments in public infrastructure by preserving
the driving surface of all public streets in Pasco and in the Tri-Cities region.
V. DISCUSSION:
This item was previously discussed at the April 4, 2022, Council meeting. City
staff recommends approval of the attached Regional Pavement Cut Policy
through revision of the Design and Construction Standards.

OF PASCO, WASHINGTON:

of the property must be made in public session.
The terms and conditions of the proposed sale are included in the attached
Purchase and Sale agreement.

circumstance to Purchaser, but such notice shall not relieve the City of its obligations hereunder.

vacating right-of-way for East Lewis Placeformerly primary State Highway No. 3,

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The adjacent property owners have petitioned for the vacation of a portion of
East Lewis Place right-of-way (formerly primary State Highway No. 3, Pasco to
Attalia) as established per Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT).

V. DISCUSSION:
Page 67 of 297
Per the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 12.40, the Council may require
compensation for vacated rights-of-way. The compensation involves obtaining a
title report and appraisal of value. However, the compensation and the
requirements attached thereto may be waived if one or more of the following
conditions apply:
The vacation is initiated by the City Council by Resolution;
The vacation is at the request of the City;
The right-of-way to be vacated was previously determined by the City Council
not to be essential to public traffic circulation and available for vacation;
The grant of substitute right-of-way which has a value as a right-of-way at least
equal to that right-of-way to be vacated; and
The resulting benefit to the community of the project requiring the vacation
outweighs the appraised value of the right-of-way to be vacated.
The above considerations of the PMC and any public testimony or comments
can be be discussed at the June 6th public meeting date.

SUBJECT: East UGA Sewer Local Improvement District (LID) Expansion
Assessment Alternatives

Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated Project Costs:
Alternative A (Original Proposal): $25,404,000 LID Assessments
Alternative B: $21,494,000 LID Assessments
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The East UGA Sewer Local Improvement District (LID) project has been
developed to provide the opportunity to serve all parcels within the expanded
UGA east of Road 68. This area encompasses several large parcels (10 acres
or more, with short- and long-term development plans), as well as other smaller
parcels located immediately east of Road 68 between Kau Trail and Deseret
Road.
City staff held a series of meetings with landowners and representatives of the
parcels included in the originally proposed LID boundary. While feedback was
positive in the first three meetings held, during the fourth and final meeting, held
in the evening to accommodate those property owners that work during the day,
a group of property owners expressed concerns with the propose d sewer
Page 77 of 297
improvements and the financial burden this would impose on them and their
neighbors.
Property owners in the neighborhood between Kau Trail Road and Deseret Road
own properties that are 1 to 5 acres in size. Some have houses on their lots and
thus have functioning septic systems. The proposed LID is less attractive to
these owners as they do not have a desire to further develop their parcels
anytime soon. These property owners also expressed their opposition of
annexation into the City.
The majority of those in attendance at the first three meetings expressed support
for the LID project and annexation into the City.
Preliminary assessments for all property owners within the proposed LID area
have been developed based on a combination of parcel area and projected
sewage, in terms of 'flow' generated by each parcel. The projected sewer "flow"
is based on the land use for each parcel. The Land Use designations are in
accordance with the latest City’s Comprehensive Plan. For clarity, these City
land uses may be different from current zoning and current Franklin County land
uses.
On May 2, 2022, Council approved Resolution No. 4174, declaring its intent to
order the improvements of the East Urban Growth Area Expansion and setting
a hearing for 7 pm May 23, 2022, to consider the creation of a Local Improvement
District (LID) to consider the necessity, location, scope, LID boundaries, design
and cost of improvements, and the assessment of the cost and expense of
carrying out those improvements against the properties specially benefited by
the proposed improvements.
Property owners were notified via mail and invited to provide written comments
to the City Clerk or appear at the May 23 Public Hearing regarding the proposed
LID formation. Formation of the LID is also scheduled for the May 23rd meeting,
should Council determine doing so as appropriate.
V. DISCUSSION:
Subsequent to the May 2nd Council meeting, City elected officials and staff
received comments from several property owners in the proposed LID. These
comments resulted in the evaluation of an alternate sewer LID proposal for
consideration by Council. The use of this workshop meeting is to better
familiarize Council with the original proposal and to familiarize Council with the
aforementioned alternative. The two LID alternatives are as follows:
Alternative A (Original Proposal):
Page 78 of 297
• This alternative includes all of the UGA expansion area east of Road 68,
north of Burns Road, and the south half of the Reimann Industrial Center.
• The proposed improvements consist of Glade Road Lift Station and force
main, gravity sewer trunk mains extending from Glade Road to Road 68,
including sewer mains along Deseret Road, Melody Lane and Kau Trail
Road, to provide service to all parcels included in the LID boundary.
• Cost for the project is to be assessed in its entirety to LID participants.
Alternative B:
• Under this alternative the LID boundary is identical to Alternative A above,
except the neighborhood between Deseret Road and Kau Trail Road
would be excluded.
• Sewer mains improvements proposal along Melody Lane and Kau Trail
Road would be eliminated and Deseret Road gravity sewer main would
only be extended partially.
• Cost for the project would be assessed to the LID participants. No
assessment for the Deseret Road/KauTrail neighbors.
Figures and preliminary assessment rolls for each alternative are included in this
packet.
Staff is seeking feedback from Council on the two alternatives. The Resolution
of Intent essentially set a public hearing to receive public comment on Alternative
A. In that the Council has the ability to modify the proposed LID following public
comment, with Council's concurrence, staff is p roposing to also introduce at the
hearing Alternative B, so that the public would have the benefit of providing
comment on that alternative as well.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On January 10, 2022, staff provided Council a presentation on the proposed
updates to the PWRF with the potential to include a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
option having the potential to reduce costs to the PWRF Processor s. Council
indicated support to move forward with the proposed concept.
In moving the project forward, the City is following the requirements of Chapter
70A.140 RCW, Water Quality Joint Development Act, for the purpose of entering
into a contract with an RNG Developer. The RCW requires several steps by the
City leading up to the negotiation of a contract with a selected proponent. These
steps include:
1. Publication of a notice (for Request for Proposals) twice in the local
newspaper seeking certain specified services by means of entering into an
agreement with a service provider.
2. Establish evaluation criteria determined to be relevant to the services
requested.
3. Determine, based on its review of the proposals received, that respondents
are:
a) Qualified to provide the requested services b) Responsive to the notice
and evaluation criteria
To expedite the process and be mindful of Council's time, these items have been
completed by staff, however, they ultimately require approval, in this case through
ratification, by the legislative body.
The “PWRF-to- RNG Project” RFP was advertised in the Tri-Cities Herald on
March 17, and March 24. The deadline for responses was April 22 by 11:00 am,
30 days after the second advertisement.
The evaluation criteria established for this RFP were as follows:
Assembly of Proposal 5 points
Approach and Understanding of Requirements 15 points
Experience of RNG Developer 15 points
Page 97 of 297
Technical Approach 15 points
Financial Qualifications of RNG Developer 10 points
Compensation to Processors 40 points
Total 100 points
During the 30-day RFP period, an on-site meeting was held at the PWRF for
interested parties. A total of ten people representing nine different companies
showed up for a short presentation and visit of the PWRF. Staff also responded
to numerous questions via email from three companies: BerQ RNG, Anaergia, and
SEV.
Two proposals were received: Burnham SEV, LLC and Anaergia.
After a review of the proposals received, staff determined both respondents to be
qualified and responsive.
V. DISCUSSION:
With the first few steps in the process completed, they next major steps in the
process are the conduct of a "bidders conference", selection of the preferred
bidder deemed to be the most advantageous to the City, and negotiation of a
contract with the selected bidder.
The "bidder's conference' is conducted to:
1. Assure respondents have a full understanding of the proposals.
2. Make respondents aware of any changes in the RFP.
3. Allow respondents a reasonable opportunity to revise their proposals for
the purpose of obtaining the best and final proposals.
Attached are the proposals received from Burnham SEV, LLC. and Anaergia.

treatment site. The PWRF has been operating for 25+ years to pretreat, treat, and dispose of
approximately one billion gallons of agricultural industrial wastewater on 1854 acres of farmland.
The current system has reached it design life and capacity, making upgrades and expansion
necessary to accommodate growth for existing Processors and bringing new Processors onboard.
To meet Ecology permit requirements for proposed expanded capacity at the PWRF, the City is
looking for a RNG developer interested in utilizing the agricultural industrial wastewater as a source
for the generation of renewable natural gas.
The city is interested in receiving proposals to enter into an agreement for the design and
construction of 1) an anaerobic digestor system that can process an average annual daily design
flow of 7.31 million gallons per day (MGD) and a maximum month day flow of 12.18 MGD and 2) a
sequential batch reactor (SBR) system capable of removing nitrogen from a maximum flow of 9.6
MGD to a maximum level of 28 mg/l, and 3) a biogas upgrade/cleaning facility to produce RNG
from the methane produced from the anaerobic digestor system.
Additional detail in Section 3 – Scope of Work.
A. The City is interested in utilizing the PWRF industrial wastewater to produce a biogas as an
environmental and sustainable source of revenue. Generating electrical energy has been
deemed infeasible because the economic value of the electrical energy in this area is low and
a project connecting to the local electric distribution grid is very complex and expensive.
B. The City is seeking a qualified Full-Service Developer to design/build an industrial wastewater
system to produce biogas and convert it into renewable natural gas for sale on the RNG
voluntary market. The system must also include removal of Nitrogen from a portion of the
wastewater.
C. The City invites qualified Full-Service Developers to submit proposals to provide Financing,
Design, Site Preparation and Equipment Installation, Operation and Marketing services to
convert the PWRF agricultural industrial wastewater into a renewable natural gas as detailed
in Section 3 – Scope of Work.
D. The successful Proposer must meet the following objectives:
a. Have the engineering resources and experience to convert agricultural industrial
wastewater at the PWRF into RNG.
b. At minimal cost to the agricultural Processors, provide financing for a facility to create,
receive and condition the industrial wastewater into renewable natural gas
c. Provide details on the approach to convert the PWRF industrial wastewater into RNG and
revenue for the Processors and the City.
d. Provide documentation on how the proposer will deliver the renewable natural gas to the
marketplace.
e. Provide proposed contract terms describing the revenues to be shared with the Processors
and City and the terms and conditions affecting revenues for the project over the term of

Page 123 of 297
Page 124 of 297
Page 125 of 297
Who We Serve and Why
The 40-acre process water reuse facility currently
receives agricultural processor wastewater from six food
processors and disposes of it in an area of irrigated
agriculture production fields on approximately 1,850 acres
north of Pasco and east of Highway 395 in Franklin
County.
Each year, over 1 billion gallons of processor wastewater is
pumped to the City’s Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF)
where bio solids are screened out, sediment is filtered out and
the wastewater is stored in lined ponds (150 million gallons)
during winter months.
The PWRF serves two areas:
The Foster Wells Service Area
(located to the west of Highway 395)
The Columbia East Service Area
(located south of the facility near Highway 12)
These areas consist of existing and future food processors that send their agricultural wastewater to individual and regional
pump stations that discharge to the PWRF for pretreatment and land application. Page 126 of 297

PWRF Urgent Challenges/Needs
We now have increased needs coming to the area.
We can’t serve these new additional needs or even our current
processor needs, which directly impact the City of Pasco’s growth
opportunities.
The PWRF has reached capacity, creating an opportunity
to create a more robust and environmentally upgraded facility and
enhanced treatment technologies.
Grimmway will expand their plant & we need to
direct their flow from Municipal WWTP to PWRF
Reser’s is building a second processing plant.
Simplot is expanding their facility.
Darigold to build a new $500M plant.
Lamb Weston has requested to send their
agriculture wastewater to the PWRF.
We have reached the Nitrogen limit allowed by the WA
Dept. of Ecology to be applied to farm circles.
We must address the odor control issue.
Our expansion plans include a covered treatment system
which will alleviate this issue by adding a low rate anaerobic
digestor (AD) that will consist of two covered ponds side-by-
side. The AD system cleans the wastewater before it is
pumped to the farm circles or to winter storage, significantly
reducing the odor.
More winter storage Pond capacity needed.
Water must be stored during the winter. 150 MG is the
current storage capacity.
Due to processor growth, we must reduce nitrogen
levels to be in compliance with the State department of
Ecology.Page 129 of 297
Proposed Benefits of Facility Upgrades –
The Future of the PWRF
To improve the reliability of the facility, allow for the expansion in productivity of current food processors, and to create capacity for additional
processors, the facility has an urgent need for rehabilitation and treatment improvements defined as such:
Addition of potable water
and more electrical power.
(Currently in the works)
Additional winter
storage ponds –500 MG
Addition of a Low-Rate Anaerobic Digester
Providing a more comprehensive wastewater treatment -but also
provides the opportunity to produce and capture methane gas
from the treatment process of the wastewater
Addition of biological nitrogen removal process (using an
SBR or Algae growth or both) to reduce nitrogen levels before
sending wastewater to the farm circles
An economically sustainable business model.
The sustainability is achieved through the sale of the renewable natural gas that comes from the AD system.
Creates 300+ fulltime jobs
in addition to jobs required to
build the upgraded plant and
the new processing plants
that come to town.
Opportunity for Increased
Revenue through increased lease
rates. Cleaner water means our
farmers can grow higher yield
crops like potatoes which in turn
increases land lease rates.
Bio gas production.
Selling Renewable natural gas.
Offers carbon credits to
industries that use natural gas.Page 130 of 297
Estimated Costs and Funding
Currently, the estimated costs for the proposed improvements are as follows:
Low -Rate Anaerobic Digester
(cost shared by RNG developer and Processors)
$47M
Biological Nitrogen Removal
(cost shared by RNG developer and Processors)
$20M
Bio Gas Cleaning to RNG
(paid solely by the RNG developer)

The Summary
The PWRF Upgrade project is crucial to the City of Pasco and its numerous agricultural food processors (who
employ many Tri-Cities residents) and the need for expansion is an urgent one. Without it, we are facing no
ability for existing processors to grow or to bring new processors into the PWRF.
In conclusion, this expansion benefits:
The Environment
by significantly cleaning the
agricultural wastewater and
reducing the nitrogen being
applied to the irrigated land,
odor reduction and is a
centralized regional
treatment.
The Farmers
who grow crops on
fields irrigated with
much cleaner industrial
wastewater would be
able to grow higher
quality crops
The Food
Processors
by being able to continue
to take in their current
flow along with future
increased flows. Increase
reliability in O&M.
The City of Pasco &
State of Washington
by recycling hundreds of
millions of gallons of water
annually back into the
hydrologic groundwater
system that is hydraulically
connected to the Columbia
River. PWRF expansion
catalyst for new jobs with

RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
1. Executive Overview
Anaergia is the industry leader in resource recovery with demonstrated expertise spanning
wastewater, anaerobic digestion (AD), biogas utilization, and solid waste. Anaergia has extensive
experience delivering public private partnerships (P3) with municipalities, public agencies, and
industry partners to address capital improvement needs, achieve regulatory compliance, generate
new revenue streams for budget certainty and future projects, and bolster economic development
by investing in assets that serve the community and create value for Cities and ratepayers.
Proposed Approach
Anergia proposes to design, build, own, operate, and finance upgrades at the Pasco Process Water
Reuse Facility (PWRF) for AD, biological nitrogen removal (BNR), and renewable natural gas (RNG)
upgrading and pipeline injection (the Project). Anaergia would provide key proprietary Anaergia
technologies to achieve the desired scope and goals of the City. The Project would provide
necessary wastewater treatment (WWT) capacity for Processor regulatory compliance as well as
new lease and RNG revenue to the City and Processors. Anaergia’s system design and capacities
assume co-digestion of organic waste with wastewater solids to significantly enhance Project RNG
production and sales. In addition to enhancing value to the City and offsetting associated Project
cost to Processors, this approach advances organics landfill diversion mandates in Washington (HB
1799) and encourages economic development in the community by providing cost-effective
regulatory support for various local companies.
In conversations with Anaergia, local waste service provider Basin Disposal Inc. (BDI) has expressed
their openness to delivering food waste slurry to the PWRF as part of a project with Anaergia. The
slurry would be pre-processed leveraging proprietary Anaergia technology to clean and dilute
approximately 80 tons per day (tpd) of source separated organics (SSO) into a clean, energy-dense,
and digestible feedstock for AD. Available organic feedstock volumes are anticipated to further
increase as a result of HB 1799 and regional deployment of Anaergia organics recovery and pre-
processing equipment. Through our industry leading experience in organics-to-energy, Anaergia
can uniquely support an organics digestion project at the PWRF to maximize project benefit to all
stakeholders through our proprietary organics recovery technology, hauler relationships, and
experience operating organics receiving and digestion facilities.
Anaergia would be fully responsible for coordinating, managing, and executing RNG
interconnection and offtake agreement necessary to generate revenue from RNG sales. Based on
currently available information, Anaergia would inject RNG to the Cascade Natural Gas gas grid at
the interconnection point approximately 1.5 miles away from the PWRF. Based on conversations
with BDI, we propose an offtake agreement for a portion of anticipated RNG production with BDI
to provide fleet fueling. We would complement RNG sales with additional offtake agreements with
local and national utilities (potentially including Cascade, Williams, NW Natural, Avista, etc.),
additional vehicle fleets, and on the spot market via a broker. Based on the current project concept,
Anaergia anticipates registering for and selling associated D5 RINs under the federal Renewable
Fuel Standard as well as renewable and low-carbon fuel programs within Washington, Oregon, and
California.
Page 139 of 297
City of Pasco 2
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
Anaergia proposes the following key technologies to achieve the Project goals:
Omnivore® High-Solids Wet AD: Anaergia would provide proprietary high-solids wet digestion to
effectively process both wastewater solids and organic waste. This approach maximizes RNG
generation through improved VSR versus conventional AD, increased capacity for biogas-generating
solids, and reduced digester footprint to limit impact on PWRF. Omnivore® high-solids wet AD is
achieved through (1) pre-thickening of digester feeds by Anaergia’s sludge screw thickener and (2)
deployment of Anaergia’s high-solids submersible propeller mixers. Anaergia’s mixers are designed
to operate efficiently and effectively in viscous applications such as process wastewater and co-
digestion, by achieving the highest mixing standard in the market (over 90% of the volume above
critical mixing velocity guaranteed). Together, Omnivore® AD provides redundant capacity for
operational flexibility, supporting both future Processor load growth and co-digestion. As a result,
enhanced RNG production is possible without sacrificing Processor requirements. Gas storage
membrane would provide biogas storage to optimize biogas utilization and provide operational
flexibility.
Biological Nitrogen Removal: Anaergia proposes a wastewater treatment train comprised of: (1)
existing rotary drum fine screens, (2) dissolved air flotation (DAF) clarification, and (3) BNR system.
The system is intended to maximize solids removal to not only enhance effluent quality but also
maximize biogas production potential in the AD. Anaergia proposes a sequential batch reactor (SBR)
to reduce nitrogen from DAF effluent and filtrate to a maximum level of 28 mg/L, per the RFP
requirements. The system is sized to provide sufficient nitrogen removal capability to address
increased nutrient loading associated with both process wastewater and food waste. While
Anaergia currently proposes an SBR for nitrogen removal, third-party technology selection would
be validated during design. Treated effluent would be returned to the City for final disposition.
Biogas Upgrading: Anaergia proposes a biogas conditioning and upgrading facility at PWRF,
employing Anaergia’s unique and proven biogas upgrading (BUG™) technology. The high-yield
BUG™ technology is designed to maximize methane recovery from biogas and ultimately RNG
production. Anaergia’s BUG™ system is operating at Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation
Authority (VVWRA), having passed the 40-day Southwest Gas for interconnect, demonstrating
consistent achievement of IOU RNG specifications. The system first removes impurities from biogas
produced through the anaerobic digestion of wastewater solids and external organic waste, before
Figure 1: Project Simplified Process Diagram
Page 140 of 297
City of Pasco 3
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
stripping carbon dioxide from the gas to produce pipeline-quality RNG for injection into the utility
interconnection point. The system would be sized to accommodate anticipated gas flows resulting
from co-digestion of wastewater solids with organic waste.
Benefits
From our strong history of developing and delivering comprehensive resource recovery projects,
the Anaergia team is confident in our unique ability to provide the following key benefits to the City
through our team’s unmatched industry qualifications, broad capabilities, and tailored approach
for the City:
• Maximize revenue to the City, through:
o Enhanced biogas production through Anaergia’s Omnivore® high-solids wet digestion
and high-yield BUG upgrader
o Delivery of increased feedstock and resultant RNG, with feedstock certainty leveraging
Anaergia’s organics recovery and pre-processing technology in proposed partnership
with Basin Disposal Inc. (BDI)
o Valorization of all (100%) biogas via environmental attributes (EAs), federal and state
programs (i.e., renewable and low-carbon fuel standards in WA, OR, and CA), offtakes
with BDI for vehicle fueling, and offtakes with gas utilities and brokers
• Achieve regulatory compliance, expand capacity as required for anticipated and future
processors, and deliver capital infrastructure improvements through the delivery of requested
upgrades at PWRF
• Expedite realization of Project benefits through streamlined delivery, leveraging the Anaergia
team’s extensive proven P3 experience with municipalities and key Project stakeholders
(including Cascade Natural Gas, Regional Clean Air Agency, and WA Department of Ecology)
• No upfront cost to City or Processors with full funding by Anaergia P3, and minimized impact to
Processor rates with new revenue streams from net revenue share of RNG sales
• Support regional compliance with organics recycling mandates (HB1799)
• Support economic development in the community through revenue to the City, infrastructure
to support growing and new businesses in the region, and high-tech green job creation –
through a “closed loop” solution which leverages locally-generated industrial, commercial, and
residential waste streams to create and return value to the community
Anaergia Team
As the project lead, Anaergia would be responsible for all significant phases of the project including
financing, developing, designing, building, managing, operating, and maintaining the facility. More
specifically, Anaergia would lead and ultimately be responsible for all project tasks including project
management, project administration, construction management, operation and maintenance
management, quality control, safety, environmental compliance, and subcontractor administration.
Anaergia has robust experience providing these services for AD, RNG, and waste/wastewater
processing facilities throughout the US and around the world. Anaergia would complement our
Page 141 of 297
City of Pasco 4
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
unmatched qualifications with support from our team members, AECOM and Biomethane, LLC
(Biomethane), to enhance delivery of a successful Project for the City. While Anaergia would serve as
design-builder, AECOM would provide detailed design and balance of plant, with a focus on the BNR
portion of the facility to ensure achievement of required nitrogen levels and regulatory compliance.
Biomethane would provide local presence and expertise for the Eastern Washington feedstock,
utility, regulatory, and RNG sectors, to enhance Anaergia’s industry-wide experience. Biomethane
would primarily support initial feasibility study and third-party engagements during development,
though Anaergia would remain lead.
Letters of support from Anaergia’s team members are provided in Appendix B.

As P3 provider, Anaergia would take on the majority of the responsibility associated with design,
construction, operations, ownership, maintenance, and financing of the Project, as well as key
third-party agreements, permitting, interconnection, environmental review, and RNG sales.
Anaergia expects that the City would cooperate with Anaergia in good faith to support project
success. The City would maintain the following key responsibilities (this list is not exhaustive):
• Provision of site use and access, including unobstructed vehicle/roadway access
• Provision of utility service
• Provision of existing rotary drum screens for Project use
• Final disposition of wastewater effluent from the Project (i.e., storage and irrigation)
• Ownership of wastewater discharge permits and other permits as may be required to reside
with the City due to the City’s continued site ownership
• Support for permitting, interconnection, and environmental documentation and review
Though no contribution is expected or required from the City, additional responsibilities would be
negotiated should the City elect to contribute to financing.
Schedule
Assuming execution of the lease and RNG purchase agreement in Q3 of 2022, per the RFP, initiation
of commercial operation is anticipated in early 2026. This schedule is based on Anaergia’s extensive
experience delivering P3 projects of similar scope and size. While achieving operations in Q1 2024
operations as desired by the City is not expected to be attainable, Anaergia can support expeditious
project delivery through our proven P3 model and proven best practices for design-build projects.
Anaergia also understands that the City anticipates increased process flows in 2024 and intends to
work with the City to explore options for an intermediate solution to handle the increased flows.
Anaergia would strive to reduce project timeline to the extent possible through strict schedule
control, lessons learned, and on-the-ground experience, while carefully managing risk to the City.
Key elements of this approach include critical path method scheduling, front-loading long-lead time
items, ordering key equipment during design, and conducting tasks in parallel as possible. As
regulatory agencies often drive project schedules, early and proactive engagement of third-parties
Page 142 of 297
City of Pasco 5
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
is essential to incorporate permitting and environmental requirements, design elements, and
accurately account for and manage external timelines. Further detail is provided in Section 5.
Cost & Compensation
Anaergia proposes to finance the delivery and operations of the Project at no upfront cost to the
City or Processors. The proposed compensation approach is illustrated in the figure below.
Anaergia would provide the BNR and AD systems at the PWRF via a lease with the City. Wastewater
treatment would be provided in exchange for service fees from Processors. Service fees would be
based on: (1) actual monthly and permitted annual flows for each Processor, (2) Anaergia operating
costs, (3) Anaergia capital charge (including wastewater treatment project capital, debt service,
equity repayment), and (4) Anaergia’s lease payment to the City. The proposed compensation
approach shares the cost of financing the upgrades required to achieve environmental compliance
with the Processors, per the City’s direction. This structure also provides new cash flow to the City
via lease payment.
Anaergia would provide the RNG facility, establishing an RNG sales agreement with the City to
receive all biogas produced by the Project for RNG upgrading and sale to third parties. While
Anaergia would retain all tax incentives and EAs, the economic value of these benefits would be
passed onto the City and processors via reduced Project costs and increased revenue. Fifty percent
(50%) of RNG facility net revenue would be provided to the City and Processors. Net revenue is
defined as RNG facility revenue (including sale of both commodity and EAs), less Anaergia operating
costs and capital charge (including RNG facility capital, debt service, and equity repayment). The
division of the 50% net revenue share between the City and Processors would be established during
negotiations. Under the proposed compensation approach, Anaergia is fully responsible for
financing the RNG facility, the City receives new revenue streams, and Processors receive new
revenue streams to offset and minimize the cost of capital upgrades required for regulatory
compliance (i.e., AD and BNR systems).

4. Description of Proposed Project
Anergia proposes to design, build, own, operate, and finance the Project at PWRF and provide
proprietary Anaergia technology to achieve the desired capability. Based on our experience
developing and delivering projects of similar scope and scale throughout the Western US and
beyond – including RBF, as detailed in Section 3.7 – Anaergia is unmatched in our proven capability
to deliver the Project requested by the City: (1) anaerobic digestion; (2) biological nitrogen removal;
and (3) RNG upgrading and interconnection. Further, Anaergia proposes to secure firm organic
feedstock for co-digestion with wastewater solids through a proposed partnership with BDI and
deployment of proprietary OREX™ technology in the region. This unique offering from the Anaergia
team would significantly enhance RNG production potential and reliability of the Project, increasing
revenue sharing opportunity with the City, enhancing local economic development, and supporting
organics diversion goals within the region.
The design basis for the key project components is provided in Table 9 below. The system was sized
to accommodate maximum month conditions (12.2 MGD) plus co-digestion of 132 tpd (12% TS)
food waste. Appendix G shows a detailed block flow diagram (BFD) which illustrates the process,
including proposed technologies, major equipment, and design capacities and flows for each
component. The design basis is based on provide data and subject to validation during design based
on site conditions, influent quality, available organic feedstock, etc.

RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
4.1 Key Technologies
Below sections detail key technologies proposed for the Project. As a leader in resource recovery,
Anaergia offers many proprietary technologies, which enables us to provide unmatched
performance guarantees and exceptional service response. We complement our in-house
equipment offerings with third-party technologies selected for the specific application, such as the
proposed biological nitrogen removal (BNR) system. Appendix F includes additional detail on
proposed technologies. High-Solids Wet Anaerobic Digestion
Anaergia would provide anaerobic digesters to stabilize and reduce the mass of solids removed
through the wastewater treatment process, and co-digestion of external organic waste. Anaergia
proposes insulated, bolted steel Omnivore® high-solids wet anaerobic digesters (total volume 6.9
MGal), which pairs solids pre-thickening via sludge screw thickener (SST) with Anaergia’s high-solids
submersible propeller mixers to provide efficient digestion for anticipated PWRF loads in a third of
the tank volume of conventional digestion. The result is enhanced volatile solids reduction (VSR)
and increased biogas production with a limited impact on PWRF footprint. Further, high-solids
digestion reduces capital cost by decreasing required digester volume, supporting improved
revenue sharing with the City. The AD system would be sized to support anticipated growth in
process wastewater loads plus organic feedstock. An adjacent gas storage membrane would store
biogas produced via AD, prior to conditioning and upgrading.
Omnivore® High-Solids Digestion: Anaergia’s
Omnivore® is an advanced high-solids wet AD
solution (typically operating around 6% TS as
compared to conventional digestion around 2-3%
TS). The high-efficiency platform combines
Anaergia’s industry leading high-solids mixers and
thickening systems to triple solids loading capacity
and biogas production in existing digesters.
Omnivore® uses increased pre-thickening or
recuperative thickening to reduce the amount of
unnecessary liquid in the digester, increasing solids
retention time (SRT) while reducing hydraulic
retention time (HRT). This creates additional volume
for increased sludge loading, or co-digestion of food waste. Anaergia’s proprietary high-efficiency
submersible mixers are utilized to ensure proper mixing is maintained in the much more viscous
high-solids conditions.

Generation Facility

City of Pasco 24
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
High Solids Mixing: Anaergia’s advanced high solids mixer is employed to effectively move material
within digesters, even in viscous substrates resulting from applications such as high-solids wet
digestion and food waste co-digestion, as proposed for the PWRF. A submersible propeller mixer
with gearless direct drive motor, Anaergia’s mixer boasts the highest efficiency in its class,
delivering effective mixing, dynamic control, adjustable positioning, and easy access via service box
for maintenance and inspection. Anaergia’s mixers deliver an unmatched mixing standard in the
market, guaranteeing 90% volume above critical velocity thus maximizing gas yield, solid
destruction, and digester stability. Effective, thorough mixing is essential to maintaining
appropriate conditions for AD and achieving volatile solids reduction (and therefore biogas
production). Anaergia mixers reduce O&M by resuspending grit, preventing stratification, and
enabling access without taking digesters out of service.
Wastewater Treatment & Biological Nitrogen Removal
As shown in the BFD in Appendix G, Anaergia proposes a wastewater treatment train comprised of:
(1) existing rotary drum fine screens, (2) dissolved air flotation (DAF) clarification, and (3) BNR
system. Solids removed during these processes would be fed to the high-solids AD (described
above) for co-digestion with organic waste, to produce biogas. Anaergia proposes a sequential
batch reactor (SBR) to nitrogen from DAF effluent and filtrate to a maximum level of 28 mg/L, per
the RFP. The design assumes food waste co-digestion and sufficient nitrogen removal capability to
address increased nutrient loading associated with both process water and food waste. While
Anaergia currently proposes an SBR for nitrogen removal, third-party technology selection would
be validated during design. Renewable Natural Gas Upgrading & Pipeline Interconnection
Anaergia proposes a biogas conditioning and upgrading facility at PWRF, employing Anaergia’s
unique and proven biogas upgrading (BUG™) technology. Anaergia’s BUG™ system is operating at
Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority (VVWRA), having passed the 40-day Southwest
Gas for interconnection, demonstrating consistent achievement of utility RNG specifications. The
system first removes impurities from biogas produced through the anaerobic co-digestion of
municipal wastewater biosolids and external organic waste (i.e., food waste), before stripping
Figure 11: Anaergia’s PSM Mixer and Service Box
Page 162 of 297
City of Pasco 25
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
carbon dioxide from the gas to produce pipeline-quality RNG for injection into the utility
interconnection point. RNG upgrading and interconnection would provide sufficient capacity for
anticipated future loads and external food waste.
Identifying the appropriate biogas upgrading technology is essential as the renewable natural gas
must meet stringent standards for pipeline injection. Biogas must be nearly free of carbon dioxide,
hydrogen sulfide, trace gases, siloxanes, and other VOCs. Anaergia’s integrated systems and
technology meets these challenges while providing a cost-effective, easy to operate, and robust
biogas upgrading system. Generally, the biogas is conditioned through condensate and H2S/VOC
removal systems, along with a compressor, prior to upgrading to pipeline-quality RNG via
Anaergia’s BUG™. A thermal oxidizer would be provided on the BUG™ for emissions control. Upon
injection into the gas grid, the RNG can be used as either as fuel for transportation fleets or for
residential applications and contributes to Washington’s decarbonization goals. Anaergia financed,
designed, built, owns, and operates these technologies at RBF (up to 3,500 scfm biogas) and VVWRA
(up to 1,200 scfm). Anaergia’s proprietary BUG™ is operating at VVWRA.
Biogas Conditioning: Biogas is
conditioned to remove compounds
which negatively impact the upgrader
and RNG quality. Biogas is typically
conveyed to iron sponge vessels, or
other H2S removal systems, followed
by carbon media vessels. Biogas is then
transported to a skid which provides
de-humidification, cooling gas to
<59°F, before reheating the gas to
72°F. A biogas blower would be
provided to overcome pressure losses
for downstream equipment. Biogas then moves to a second skid for polishing, where an activated
carbon vessel removes additional contaminants from biogas prior to entering the upgrading
package.
Anaergia’s conditioning train design would be customized based on gas quality produced at PWRF
and utility requirements. The currently proposed biogas conditioning train is shown in the BFD in
Appendix G.
Figure 12: Biomethane Conditioning and Upgrading System
Page 163 of 297
City of Pasco 26
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
RNG Upgrading: Anaergia’s proprietary BUG™ biogas upgrading system produces RNG that meets
the most stringent pipeline gas quality standards. The BUG™ is modular, constructed on a series of
skids (compressor skid, high-pressure conditioning skid, and membrane skid) and can be delivered
in an enclosure. This minimizes on-site construction and provides an operator friendly design. All
BUG™ units are supplied with gas flow measurement and instrumentation for reliable process
control and product gas quality assurance.
Conditioned biogas is received by the BUG™ and converted into a methane rich RNG product, and
a methane lean tail gas stream. The BUG™ compresses gas and conditions it to remove residual oil,
moisture, and particulates. Biogas is then upgraded via two- or three-stage hollow fiber membranes
with the highest CO2/CH4 selectivity. Tail gas rejected from the gas upgrader is primarily CO2 and
released to atmosphere, or to an emergency flare if determined to be out of specification.
Pipeline Interconnection: Anaergia would be responsible for interconnecting with the Cascade
Natural Gas gas grid for RNG injection and sale. Anaergia would provide infrastructure to tie into
the utility point of receipt, financing for pipeline extension from the PWRF to the existing utility
transmission line (approximately 1.5 miles), and all required utility coordination. Anaergia would
provide onsite RNG storage at the PWRF to accommodate pipeline injection cycles and
scheduled/unscheduled system downtime. Any RNG that did not initially meet utility specifications
(as measured at the utility point of receipt) would be recycled to either the gas storage membrane
or the front of the biogas treatment train for further treatment, or flared as a last resort. Food Waste Co-Digestion
Anaergia would further support an RNG project via a co-digestion program to increase project
value, community benefit, and impact. By co-digesting food waste with process water solids, biogas
(and therefore RNG) production can be significantly increased, enhancing project economics and
Figure 13: Anaergia’s BUG™ at VVWRA
Page 164 of 297
City of Pasco 27
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
increasing benefits to the City. RNG value may also be increased by supporting landfill diversion
mandated by HB 1799, resulting in a negative carbon-intensity score through state-based low-
carbon fuel standards (including those in effect or being implemented in Washington, California,
and Oregon), which often sustains higher price points than RNG from wastewater biogas alone.
Anaergia has broad global and local experience delivering co-digestion solutions to enhance solids
handling, energy generation, and fertilizer production at municipal wastewater treatment facilities,
supported by an array of in-house technologies and robust network of haulers and feedstock
providers, including from Anaergia’s solid waste processing OREX™ line. As a leader in organics
recycling with a focus on the west coast, Anaergia can provide the necessary co-digestion
infrastructure (i.e., liquids receiving station and storage) and coordinate transport and delivery
of feedstock, including polished food waste slurry from BDI. Production of food waste slurry may
utilize Anaergia’s OREX™ and OPS™ at an off-site organics processing facility to ensure feedstock
quality, energy density, and low contamination levels in the feedstock.
Anaergia’s proposed design assumes the co-digestion of organic slurry from 100 tpd raw (i.e.,
unprocessed) SSO. BDI currently collects 80 tpd SSO, and Anaergia has assumed 25% growth in
available SSO due to HB 1799, which requires diversion of organics from landfill via source
separation. The SSO which would be pre-processed offsite at BDI facilities, leveraging Anaergia
equipment to remove grit, plastics, and other contamination and dilute the organics to pumpable,
digestible slurry. The slurry would be transported in tanker trucks to PWRF for offloading into
proposed liquids receiving and storage, prior to being fed to the proposed AD for co-digestion with
wastewater solids. In the event of restricted digester capacity (e.g., scheduled cleaning or increased
process wastewater loads), feedstock deliveries would be temporarily halted to ensure sufficient
treatment capacity for Processors.
This approach would maximize biogas production and revenue generation potential for the City via
increased RNG sales. Anaergia would size facility systems to accommodate the anticipated impact
on solids handling and gas production, and deliver the infrastructure necessary to receive, store,
and pre-process food waste. Critically, Anaergia’s proposed Omnivore® high-solids digestion system
creates flexible capacity within existing tankage and provides mixing capability to effectively mix
digestate in co-digestion applications. During development, Anaergia recommends evaluating co-
digestion of food waste from additional local haulers to further increase RNG production potential
and support landfill diversion requirements.
4.2 Air Emissions & Air Permitting Strategy
Anaergia is responsible for securing relevant permits and regulatory approvals for each of its
projects, including implementation of best available control technology (BACT) and other design
considerations to reach approval. For this reason, Anaergia engages with relevant regulatory and
permitting agencies (i.e., Department of Ecology, Benton Clean Air Agency) beginning in
development and throughout design to proactively identify requirements, confirm compliance, and
submit relevant documentation. As discussed in Section 5, it is essential to account for permitting
review and approval periods as these often drive project schedule. Anaergia defines reporting
requirements in design to streamline operational data collection, reporting, and ensure continued
permit compliance throughout the project life.
Page 165 of 297
City of Pasco 28
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
Anaergia has permitted two projects under South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD), one of the most stringent in the nation, as well as multiple other projects within
California and throughout the US. Anaergia was solely responsible for receiving, managing, and
complying with all necessary permits for RBF, a project which included new construction of AD,
wastewater treatment, and RNG upgrading. As part of this project, the City of Rialto acted as the
lead agency and was principally responsible for providing discretionary approval for the project.
Anaergia worked with the City of Rialto to propose and certify an Environmental Impact Report,
approve the Conditional Use Permit, approve the precise plan of design, and approve the
Encroachment Permit.
RBF received other permits including an Industrial User Wastewater Discharge Permit from the San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, a storm water and biosolids permit from the Santa Ana
Regional Water Quality Control Board, and 24 distinct Permits to Construct and Permits to Operate
from SCAQMD. Anaergia is in the process of finalizing 20 construction permits into operating
permits, conducting final review and comment with the permit writer. Two additional construction
permits are scheduled to begin in Q2-Q3 2022, related to pyrolysis at RBF – the first system of its
kind to be permitted under SCAQMD.
Based on the scope outlined in the RFP, air permits are anticipated to be necessary for the safety
flares and RNG upgrader thermal oxidizer. The City would benefit from Anaergia’s success in
permitting these systems in the nation’s strictest air districts, as well as Anaergia’s deep knowledge
of emissions and air impacts of our own technologies like the BUG™. However, there is a precedent
in the state for RNG generation projects to potentially reduce air permitting requirements,
specifically related to odor control. Anaergia would more thoroughly explore these implications
during development to reduce permitting burden as appropriate to potentially expedite project
schedule and improved achievement of the City’s timeline goals.
4.3 Energy Sales Agreement
Anaergia has deep experience in marketing RNG – both from wastewater plants and food waste AD
facilities – to maximize value of the environmental attributes associated with the Federal
Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RIN), California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), Oregon Clean
Fuels Program (CFP), and Washington Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) policies. Anaergia understands how
to register RNG as D3 and D5 RINs pursuant to EPA biogas classification, as well as how to maximize
the value of the gas under state-specific fuel standard programs that requires a site-specific life
cycle analysis (LCA) to determine a site-specific carbon intensity. As a result, Anaergia would be
able to maximize the value for pipeline RNG produced at the PWRF by monetizing both RIN and CFS
credits, and securing feedstock that supports the intended environmental attribute pathways.
Anaergia works with a network of brokers and directly with off-takers (including major gas utilities,
public entities, and vehicle fleet owners) to market RNG once injected to the pipeline. Anaergia can
offer commodity purchasing, environmental attributes, or bundled. Further, Anaergia can obtain a
combination of both long-term offtakes and spot market pricing for RNG providing a necessary mix
to enable additional financing options.
Page 166 of 297
City of Pasco 29
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
Anaergia would be responsible for registering the RNG produced at PWRF under the EPA RFS (as D5
RINs, based on the food processing wastewater and SSO feedstocks), Washington CFS, Oregon CFP,
and California LCFS. Anaergia would coordinate pipeline interconnection and offtake (i.e., energy
sales) of RNG produced at the PRWF, and manage the negotiated share of RNG sales revenue
(including sale of both the commodity and environmental attributes) with the City. Energy sales
agreements necessary to secure financing would be established during design according to the
schedule provided in Section 5.
As part of our partnership, Anaergia proposes to establish an offtake agreement with BDI to make
a portion of the RNG available as vehicle fuel for the BDI fleet. This agreement incentivizes
continued delivery of reliable feedstock to the PWRF. The proposed agreement would help to “close
the loop” within the community, fueling sustainable waste collection and responsible disposal with
the byproduct of the waste. Anaergia intends to identify additional fleets during development
interested in RNG fueling. Further, due to Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission
regulations requiring utilities to accept RNG and offer it on a voluntary basis, Anaergia anticipates
establishing offtake agreements with local utilities (e.g., Cascade Natural Gas, Williams Gas).
Further, national utilities (e.g., NW Natural, Fortis BC) and firms such as BP/IGI, Clean Energy Fuels,
Trillium, and AMP have demonstrated interest in purchasing RNG. Anaergia would also partner with
a broker to sell the commodity gas and environmental attributes on the voluntary and spot markets.
Our anticipated energy pricing ($25-30/MMBTU) is based on (1) experience negotiating energy
sales agreements in the US and Canada for RNG produced at RBF, VVWRA, RIBF, and elsewhere and
(2) regulatory trends and precedent. California’s recently passed SB1440 proposes RNG pricing tiers
starting at $26/MMBTU, based on findings of the most recent 2021 federal Interagency Working
Group (IWG) estimate. British Columbia’s 2021 update to its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Regulation
(GGRR) set the RNG price cap for purchasing utilities at CA$30/GJ, with allowable increases for
inflation. Increasingly, regulated utilities such as those in CA, OR, and MI are able to procure RNG
on a voluntary or mandatory basis at increased price points.
Based on precedent within the industry, growing demand for RNG supply, and Anaergia’s robust
experience securing favorable RNG energy sales agreements with third-party offtakers, Anaergia is
confident in its ability to secure purchase of the RNG generated at PWRF to both support project
financing and maximize revenue sharing with the City.
4.4 Financing
Anaergia proposes to finance the P3 Project using a combination of debt and equity financing, as
well as grants and incentives as available. Though not required, should the City desire to contribute
to the project, this funding would support increased revenue sharing with the City. Anaergia’s
financing capability is bolstered by our experience as a developer, our overall commitment to
project execution, strength of our network of EPC contractors, and expert operators. Lenders
demand high bonding capability, transparency, and integration experience from project
proponents. Anaergia has demonstrated capabilities in developing and financing significant
projects, including RBF, the largest food waste anaerobic digester facility in North America. RBF is
owned, financed, and operated by Anaergia. Private funding sources for this $185M USD project
Page 167 of 297
City of Pasco 30
RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
came from our network of financial partners and private equity from Anaergia. Public sources
included tax-exempt Green Bonds issued by the California Pollution Control Financing Authority
($117M USD) and over $33M USD of grants, rebates, and incentives from public agencies. Anaergia
has significant experience obtaining grants to finance its projects, including RBF and Escondido
Bioenergy Facility (also partially financed using Green Bonds and various types of federal and state
grants, rebates, and incentives). Additionally, Anaergia Inc.’s IPO and new market capitalization has
established a strong company valuation and has positioned Anaergia strongly for project financing.

RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
5. Project Development Schedule
Our proficiency in establishing and maintaining schedules stems in part from our experience
successfully delivering numerous AD and pipeline RNG projects through multiple delivery methods.
We are deeply familiar with the time required to thoroughly complete each task through project
development and construction, as well as common obstacles that cause slippage. This robust
experience allows us to both accurately forecast schedules as well as proactively work to avoid
potential delays and build in efficiencies. In development, we engage our project execution team
in creating a schedule to leverage their on-the-ground perspective. Further, our nimble project
teams are structured to flex resources as necessary to ensure important tasks are completed and
deadlines kept.
While our projects are supported by an expert team of diverse skillsets, we provide each client a
dedicated point of contact across each project phase to streamline communications and ensure
ease of access. During development, we strive to respond to all communication within 24 hours
under normal circumstances, and no more than 48 hours. The City would be kept informed of the
schedule and progress. Beginning in the construction phase, we would provide two-week look
aheads and regularly meet with the City to discuss anticipated activities and support needed (e.g.,
off-hours access, temporary service outages, etc.).
5.1 Managing Risk to the City
Our strong schedule control is demonstrated by our successful delivery of construction of RBF –
new AD, wastewater treatment, biogas upgrading, and RNG interconnection across approximately
6 acres – in just over 2 years, as well as the completion of VVWRA pipeline RNG facilities
construction and interconnection in just 15 months from contract execution.
We typically conduct a feasibility study following contract execution to reduce risk for all parties.
The study would typically confirm initial scope, sizing, siting, and process flow (approximately 10%
design level), assess potential “showstoppers,” and support a “Go/No Go” decision on project
viability. The study is completed with the intent of confirming a mutually agreeable project concept.
This serves to limit risk of indefinite encumbrance of RNG utilization rights by confirming project
feasibility and overall approach early in development. If there is not concurrence on the project,
the agreement may be terminated and nothing is owed. Further, in our experience, investing in
early assessment supports expeditious delivery by identifying obstacles and potential mitigation
strategies, and by establishing stakeholder buy-in from the get-go.
Following execution of an RNG purchase agreement, we are capable of rapidly delivering an
operational project to the City. Based on our experience delivering similar scope, we anticipate a
feasibility study and initial design period of 2-3 months and overall construction durations of 24
months, pending final scope and project phasing. Combined, this is shorter than the extended
durations typical for consultant evaluations and design-build procurement. Our aggressive but
realistic project timelines are further supported by team continuity and our exceptional schedule
management. Ultimately, this translates to reduced cost spent supporting extended development
and procurement processes and enables the City to realize project benefits sooner.

RFP – PWRF Industrial Wastewater-to-RNG Project
5.2 Proposed Schedule for the City
A proposed schedule is provided below, with initiation of commercial operations in Q1 2026. The
provided quarterly schedule captures both early and late completion dates within the identified
quarter. While the commercial operations date (COD) does not achieve the City’s desired COD of
Q1 2024, we are confident that the presented schedule is an aggressive but realistic timeline to
achieve reliable operations. The project schedule is primarily driven by environmental review,
permitting approvals, and establishment of interconnection agreements to secure an energy sales
agreement (and revenue for the City). We would continue to look for efficiencies, including
opportunities to phase construction, during development.
Anaergia understands that the City anticipates increased process flows in 2024 and intends to work
with the City to explore options for an intermediate solution to handle the increased flows.

6. Compensation to Processors
Anaergia proposes the below compensation arrangement for the City and Processors, based on
current understanding of scope, site conditions, wastewater volumes and quality, etc. and subject
to validation. Anaergia provides open book prices and price transparency to our partners to support
full trust, align incentives, and support long-term partnerships. The proposed approach would
generate in new cash flows to the City and the Processors, while offsetting cost impact to Processors
associated with necessary upgrades for capacity expansion and regulatory compliance.
AD and BNR Compensation
Anaergia proposes to finance, develop, deliver, and operate the requested AD and BNR systems via
a P3 with the City. Anaergia would treat Processor wastewater received at the entrance to the
existing drum screen building, before returning treated effluent to the City for final disposition. In
exchange for treatment services, Processors would pay Anaergia service fees based on actual
operating costs, capital charges, and lease payments associated with the AD and BNR systems, as
outlined below.

(and associated environmental attributes) produced via AD at PWRF for treatment, pipeline
injection, and sale. Anaergia would provide a share of 50% of net revenue, to be divided between
the City and Processors. Net revenue is defined as total facility revenue (including sales of both the
RNG commodity and environmental attributes) less RNG facility operating costs and RNG facility
capital charges. The division of the 50% net revenue share between the City and Processors would
be determined during negotiations.

1. Rialto Bioenergy Facility, CA, USA
Total Processing Capacity 300,000 tons per year
Plant Operational 2020
Structure Design, Built, Own, Operate, finance by Anaergia
Outputs/Markets 1,000,000 MMBTU RNG pipeline injection, 4.6MW
electricity, 10,000 TPY Fertilizer
The Rialto Bioenergy Facility (RBF) is resource recovery facility that provides organics diversion and energy
generation solution for the Southern California region mandated by California law SB 1383. RBF is designed
to produce 13 MW electrical equivalent of renewable energy from up to 1,000 tons per day (TPD) of a
combination of food waste extracted from municipal waste streams, liquid waste, and municipal biosolids.
RBF is capable of converting up to 700 TPD of food waste into up to 1,000,000 MMBTU per year of carbon
negative renewable natural gas (RNG). Food waste feedstock is extracted via Anaergia’s Organics Extrusion
Press (OREX™) at an off-site materials recovery facility (MRF) and transported in end-dump trucks to RBF.
Once onsite, the organic waste is pre-processed via Anaergia's Organics Polishing System (OPS™) to remove
residual contaminants and create an organic slurry, which is fed directly to two 3.5MG food waste digesters.
The biogas from the mono-digestion of food waste is conditioned to remove contaminants and upgraded to
pipeline-quality RNG (99% methane) before being injected into the SoCal Gas grid. Dedicated on-site
wastewater treatment infrastructure further treats the digestate prior to discharge from the facility.
The facility also includes biosolids dryers and a pyrolysis system to convert up to 300 TPD of Class B
dewatered biosolids from municipal wastewater treatment plants into fertilizer.
The facility will be operating 24 hours a day, 7 days per week for biogas production and drying operations.
The materials reception will be for 16 hours per day, 6 days per week.
The project is designed, owned, operated, and financed by Anaergia and is the largest supplier of RNG in
California. RBF provides dedicated capacity to process landfill diverted organic waste and biosolids to
generate carbon-negative renewable energy and fertilizer.

2. Victor Valley Waste Reclamation Authority (Biogas Power Systems – Mojave) -
Victorville, CA, USA (Phase 1)
Plant Operational 2015
Structure Design, Supply, and Finance by Anaergia
Outputs 400 scfm biogas, 1.6 MW electricity
Markets Biogas to CHP
Anaergia won the opportunity to design, construct, finance, and own the Facility through a Request for
Proposal issued by Victor Valley Wastewater Treatment Authority (VVWRA). The project equipment package
was inclusive of membrane gas holder covers, hydraulic mixers with Service-Boxes and platforms, a
recuperative thickening system, and high strength waste receiving station. The project showcases Anaergia’s
innovative Omnivore® high solids wet anaerobic digestion technology with recuperative thickening and
unique Hydraulic Mixers and Service Box, along with Anaergia’s low energy screw press solids separator
technology used for dewatering of the digestate, on a municipal sludge feedstock.
Anaergia has partnered with VVWRA to build this Demonstration Project and showcase our high solids
anaerobic digestion process, facilitated by recuperative thickening of digested sludge. With funding from the
Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Fund of the California Energy Commission (CEC) and fund matching
from Anaergia, existing infrastructure at VVWRA was retrofitted and re-commissioned to meet the needs of
the demonstration. The focus of this project is to exhibit a cost-effective option for WWTP with existing
anaerobic digestion infrastructure to increase their digester capacity and biogas production without
investing in costly additional tank volume. The demonstration project showcases a cost effective and
technically feasible method to shift wastewater treatment plants from grid dependent consumers to energy-
neutral or energy-positive facilities.
CHP Engines at VVWRA
Page 201 of 297
This demonstration consisted of a full scale retrofit to VVWRA’s existing 300,000-gallon digester. The
digester roof was upgraded from a floating cover to a double membrane gas holder. A recuperative
thickening system, utilizing Anaergia´s screw sludge thickener, was installed as well as a high strength waste
receiving skid. The digesters were equipped with hydraulic mixers and service-boxes including platforms.
Anaergia’s high solids Omnivore® digestion process allows the retrofitted digester’s capacity to triple by
means of recuperative thickening and high-solids mixing. By decoupling solids retention time (SRT) and
hydraulic retention time (HRT), gas producing materials remain in the digester for longer periods and in
greater quantities than in conventional digestion. External high strength organic wastes (FOG, Food Wastes,
etc.) are also introduced for co-digestion with the existing stream of municipal sludge.
The Facility uses all the biogas generated in the facility, including biogas generated in Anaergia’s high solids
digestion system, to deliver thermal heat and electrical energy to the VVWRA using two containerized 800
kW combined heat and power modules. VVWRA engaged in this project in an effort to better utilize their
biogas resources, offset high electricity costs, minimize energy price fluctuations, and achieve zero net
energy wastewater treatment operations.

3. Victor Valley Waste Reclamation Authority - Victorville, CA, USA (Phase 2)
Plant Operational 2021
Structure Design, Built, Own, Operate by Anaergia
Outputs 1200 scfm biogas, 1.6 MW electricity
Markets Biogas to CHP and pipeline injection
The facility utilizes anaerobic
digesters to treat and break down
organic compounds present in the
influent
wastewater. These digesters produce
waste biogas, the majority of which is
methane. Currently, the VVWRA
is in partnership with Biogas Power
Systems - Mojave, LLC, a separate
project entity (subsidiary of Anaergia)
which owns and operates two 800 kW
combined heat and power (CHP)
units, capable of utilizing the biogas
to produce approximately 70% of the electricity required to power the VVWRA plant equipment. However,
the facility wants to pursue utilizing the biogas for producing renewable natural gas. Therefore, the Proposed
Project will be capable of using all of the biogas from the digesters to make biomethane for injection into
the natural gas grid owned by Southwest Gas, producing a renewable substitute for fossil-derived natural
gas.
At full capacity, the WWTP can produce 1200 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of biogas through
anaerobic digestion of a combination of municipal sludge generated at the WWTP and liquid organic waste
streams including liquid food wastes and fats, oils, and grease.
The Proposed Project will upgrade the biogas produced from anaerobic digestion through a multistage
treatment process ultimately producing 765 scfm of biomethane for injection into the local natural gas grid.
The separation and purification equipment and processes used to produce the biomethane are not a source
of regulated air pollutant emissions, and therefore do not require permitting. Rather, they receive biogas
from the existing permitted digesters, which are the source, and separate the biogas into a biomethane
product stream, which meets the quality specifications of natural gas, and a regeneration waste gas stream
of undesired byproducts that were present in the original biogas. Up to 600 scfm of waste gas will be
generated as a result of this biomethane production. The waste gas will be sent to a thermal oxidizer (TO)
for VOC and odor control to achieve approximately 99% VOC removal before being vented to the
atmosphere. The waste gas odor and VOC control system is an emission control device that requires an air
permit from MDAQMD.

Inputs >120,000 TPY of SSO and MSW, 3.2 MWe CHP
Outputs / Market Biogas to CHP (3.2 MWe) and RNG (>300,000 MMBtu)
Anaergia acquired the Rhode Island Bioenergy Facility (RIBF) in 2021 as an existing distressed asset with
plans to revitalize the facility using Anaergia equipment and systems. At the time of acquisition, RIBF, located
in Johnston, Rhode Island, was operating as the only large-scale organic waste digester in Rhode Island;
adjacent to a central landfill. Anaergia designed the facility upgrades at RIBF targeting significant
improvements with the infrastructure and ability to monetize the biogas produced on-site through
renewable natural gas (RNG) sales. RIBF will have the capacity to receive over 120,000 tons per year of
feedstock including source separated organics (SSO, or food scraps) and the organic fraction of municipal
solid waste (OFMSW). Through the expansion of the existing digester capacity and the installation of a gas
interconnection, RIBF will produce over 300,000 MMBtu of RNG to sell on the market. In addition, the
existing CHP engines will service house electrical and thermal loads. RIBF will be fully operational with all
Anaergia upgrades in 2023.

most stringent pipeline gas quality standards for RNG using
the best available membrane technology while focusing on
operability and minimized energy consumption.
• Conditioning: Biogas is first conditioned to remove
unacceptable contaminants such as H2S, NH3, siloxanes,
moisture and VOCs to meet pipeline specifications.
Removal of these compounds avoids negatively
impacting downstream equipment and allows for
minimal tailgas treatment.
• Upgrading: CO2 is removed from conditioned biogas
to produce RNG that meets pipeline specifications
along with a methane-lean tail gas. The system
contains a compressor skid, a high-pressure
conditioning skid, and a membrane skid which
can be sized to fit specific needs.

2. EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
2.1 PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION
This proposal (the “Proposal”) is submitted by Burnham RNG, LLC (“Burnham” and
“Developer”) on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Burnham SEV Pasco, LLC (
“ProjectCo”) and with its partner company, Sustainable Energy Ventures, LLC (“SEV’ and,
together with Burnham, “Development Team”).
The proposal describes a wastewater-to-RNG facility (“Facility” or “Project”) that meets the
requirements of RFP Number 22-750 issued by the City of Pasco (“City”) on March 17, 2022.
In particular, the Project outlined in this proposal is designed to:
1. Accept wastewater from the City at the rotary drums screen building at the PWRF
which meets the Influent Design Criteria specified in Exhibit D of the RFP;
2. Treat that wastewater in anaerobic digestion (“AD”) and sequential batch reactor
(“SBR”) Systems such that it meets the effluent criteria in Section 1.1 of the RFP;
3. Return that wastewater to the City at the PWRF for winter storage in City-operated
storage ponds or for land application via City-operated irrigation systems;
4. Produce RNG from the biogas generated by the AD system; and
5. Market the RNG to maximize its value to the Facility, the City and the Processors.
The Development Team has also sought out numerous opportunities to enhance the value of
this Project. An engineering, design, procurement, and construction structure has been pursed
that has resulted in cost reductions below prior expectations. Bond financing legal and
banking experts have been consulted to develop low cost financing options. An RNG
marketing strategy has been proposed that maximizes its value to the Project. And avenues
have been identified to enhance the already strong environmental story the Project will tell,
including the potential to accept food waste from Basin Disposal, enabling them to fuel several
of their CNG trucks on RNG, and the possibility of setting up a grant-funded pilot to convert the
AD sludge to biochar. These elements, along with the Facility’s core wastewater treatment
benefits and RNG production, would enable this project to be a leading example of Industrial
Symbiosis for other cities and industrial food processors to emulate.
The approach to the design and development of the Project, along with an anticipated cost and
development schedule, are described in the following sections of this Executive Overview.
2.2 TECHNICAL APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
2.2.1 Organization
Burnham and SEV are the Development Team for the proposed project. The two companies
are partnered to develop projects focused on eliminating emissions from waste, with SEV
providing project origination and early-stage development services and Burnham acting as the
Page 226 of 297
7
long-term owner and operator of the facilities. For this project, as with all SEV projects, the
project will ultimately be financed, constructed, owned, and operated by Burnham.
To provide the City with as detailed and accurate of a proposal as possible, the Development
Team worked with several other entities to develop this response, each of which is an industry
leader in a key area of execution that this project requires. Specifically:
• Evoqua, via its company ADI Systems, has provided the design, equipment supply, and
costing for the wastewater treatment plant. Evoqua has engineered and supplied
equipment to hundreds of wastewater treatment facilities, many of which treat water
from the same processes as the Processors in this project.
• Greenlane has provided the design, equipment supply, and costing for the biogas
upgrading system needed to produce RNG. Greenlane is a leading provider of gas
upgrading units to RNG projects around the world, and specifically to numerous
wastewater treatment facilities that are upgrading biogas for pipeline injection.
• IMCO Construction has supplied an engineering and construction estimate for the
project. IMCO is a highly respected general contracting and construction firm in the
Pacific Northwest with deep experience building wastewater treatment assets in the
region.
• Williams Northwest Pipeline confirmed pipeline capacity for the RNG, identified the
needed interconnection point and pipeline pathway, and provided interconnection cost
estimates. Williams is the primary interstate pipeline company in the region and has
worked with the Development Team on other projects.
The result of this approach is the delivery of a comprehensive proposal informed by substantial
subject-matter expertise.
2.2.2 Basis of Design
The proposal uses the influent and effluent criteria provided in the RFP as the Facility Basis of
Design. This proposal refers to that design as Option 1.
However, a second design has also been offered. Because not all of the Processors in the
provided Basis of Design are currently connected to the PWRF System, it was deemed
possible that those unconnected Processors may not ultimately use the new Facility.
Accordingly, a design was also produced that does not include Processor 8 from Exhibit D.
This design is referred to as Option 2.
Each Basis of Design is described in detailed in Section 5.1.
2.2.3 Process and Facility Overview
The proposed facility includes the following broad process steps and systems:
• Rotary drum screens and a grit vortex system for solids and grit removal.
Page 227 of 297
8
• A raw wastewater lift station and EQ tank.
• Two AD-BVF Reactor AD systems for BOD and COD reduction and biogas production.
• SBR systems for nitrogen reduction.
• A gas conditioning system, consisting of:
o Biogas blowers
o A caustic wash bulk H2S reduction system
o Iron oxide H2S polishing
o A compression and dehydration system
o A Pressure Swing Absorption (“PSA”) for biogas upgrading (removal of CO2, N2,
O2, and water vapor)
o Two enclosed, to be used during upset conditions.
• Compression to pipeline pressure
• A lateral pipeline to connect to the primary interstate pipeline.
• An interstate pipeline interconnection and metering station.
The primary wastewater treatment system was designed to the following flowrates and
equipment sizes for the two design options:
• Option 1: A 2 MG EQ tank, two 44 MG Type L ADI-BVF® reactors followed by four 2.5
MG SBR reactors designed to treat an average wastewater flow of 7.31 mgd and peak
flow of 12.16 mgd.
• Option 2: A 1.6 MG EQ tank, two 33 MG Type L ADI-BVF® reactors, followed by two 2
MG SBR reactors designed to treat an average wastewater flow of 4.89 mgd and peak
flow of 9.21 mgd.
2.3 COMMERCIAL APPROACH AND OUTCOMES
2.3.1 Structure and Responsibilities
The anticipated Project structure is described in detail in Section 5.8 and the indicative Term
Sheet in Exhibit B. Burnham has proposed its ProjectCo design, construct, finance, own and
operate the Facility. The ProjectCo will have a contract with the City to treat the wastewater
delivered to the Facility by the City and will return the treated effluent wastewater at the
required contractual specifications.
The City will be responsible for delivery of the wastewater to an agreed-upon delivery point
and for storage and land application once it has been treated. The City will be charged a rate
for the treatment of the wastewater, with certain operating costs being passed through to the
City. The City will pass its costs through to the Processors based on an agreed-upon rate
structure that Burnham will work with the City to develop.
Page 228 of 297
9
Burnham proposes to build and operate the gas conditioning and RNG delivery system at its
cost, removing that from the Processor rate base, and estimates that under this structure it will
be able to return approximately 80% of the net value of the RNG back to the Processors.
2.3.2 Anticipated RNG Production and Value
Based on the Design Criteria, it’s anticipated that the Facility will produce 538,676,125 ft3/year
under Option 1 and 458,888,950 ft3/year under Option 2. These figures have not been used
for financial modeling and pro forma purposes, and they will not be used to underwrite the
facility, unless the City is able to guarantee the influent Design Criteria (specifically, BOD), as
they currently rely on future, estimated, but unobserved wastewater characteristics.
The Developer expects to sell the RNG into the Voluntary Market, the rationale for which is
described in detail in Section 5.5.2. The Proposal currently assumes a conservative estimate
of $15/MMBtu in all project, financial, and rate models, but the Developer anticipates being
able to secure higher value, as they are currently engaged with buyers who have recently
contracted for RNG in the Voluntary Market for around $17.50/MMBtu.
2.3.3 Anticipated Project Costs
Capital costs for the wastewater treatment plant have been estimated to be $73,000,000 for
Option 1 and $65,000,000 for Option 2. Total capital costs for the project including exclusions
from the wastewater treatment system scope and 10% contingency added are estimated to be
$85,800,000 for Option 1 and $77,000,000 Option 2. RNG upgrading and transportation is
being paid by Burnham and thus is excluded in the above figures.
Costs are discussed in more detail in Section 5.9.
2.3.4 Schedule
A project schedule that meets City and Processor development needs has been provided in
Section 6.1, along with a discussion of start-up delay mitigation strategies in Section 6.2.

4. PROJECT TEAM QUALIFICATIONS
4.1 BACKGROUND
The Responding Entity for this RFP is the project’s developer and proposed owner, Burnham
RNG, along with its sister company, Sustainable Energy Ventures. The two companies are
partnered to develop projects focused on eliminating emissions from waste, with SEV
providing project origination and early-stage development services and Burnham acting as the
long-term owner and operator of the facilities. For this project, as with all SEV projects, the
project will ultimately be financed, constructed, owned, and operated by Burnham. Key
personnel backgrounds and an organizational structure for the Development Team have been
provided.
This proposal also includes the input of a full project team capable of providing a
comprehensive solution to the City of Pasco and the Processors. If selected by the City,
Burnham will work with the City to ensure it is providing the most-cost effective project-
teaming, contracting, and vendor approach to the City and the Processors.
The RFP participants provide demonstrated experience across the entire range of project
requirements, from project development, design, and financing, to engineering, equipment
supply, and construction, and finally all the way through start-up and long-term operations. The
background and qualifications of each participant is described below.
4.1.1 Responding Entity / Developer
Burnham RNG and Sustainable Energy Ventures are the
developers of the proposed project. Both Burnham and SEV
are recently formed entities that bring together experienced
energy and waste executives to provide an improved model
for the development, ownership, and operations of facilities.
The combined team has developed, financed, and operated
over $1 billion in projects across the energy, bioenergy,
waste and RNG space and has completed over $1 billion in
RNG transactions.
The Burnham-SEV partnership unlocks a superior project
execution model. As a one-stop-shop for development,
financing, and operations, customers know who they will be
working with for the lifetime of the project, from conception to
operation, and the tightly integrated team enables execution to
occur with increased speed and certainty. The Burnham-SEV
partnership is built around four key values:
• Excellence in development: seasoned professionals
with decades of development experience.
Page 231 of 297
12
• Financial and operational acumen: private equity backed with an experienced team that
has financed and operated numerous large-scale renewable energy, bioenergy, waste
processing, and manufacturing facilities.
• Comprehensive solutions: from origination to operations, full in-house project execution
minimizes risk, speeds development, and increases project value.
• A focus on partnerships: dedicated to working with project participants as partners, not
just suppliers, to maximize project benefits to all.
Burnham is backed by a multi-million-dollar commitment from Edge Natural Resources, a
leading energy private equity firm. While the Burnham team brings collectively over 100 years
of experience, as an entity that is less than one year old, it does not yet have annual audited
financials or total annual revenue figures to provide as part of this RFP response, but the
company welcomes the opportunity to further discuss with the City its financial backing, its
financial standing and projected revenues, and the prior financial performance of its executive
team.

5. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
5.1 Facility Basis of Design
This proposal provides two design options for the City to consider. The first, Option 1, utilizes
the design basis as presented in the RFP and is the larger of the two facilities. The second,
referred to as Option 2, excludes Lamb Weston’s processing plant wastewater. While the
respondents consider Option1 to be the base case because it meets the requirements and
data provided by the RFP, Option 2 was provided in order to also enable the City to assess the
project should Lamb Weston opt not to participate, given that they do not currently utilize the
City’s wastewater treatment services. Throughout this RFP response, it should be assumed
that the information provided is in relation to Option 1, unless otherwise specified.

5.2 PROCESS FLOW DESCRIPTION
5.2.1 Introduction
The proposed project is a wastewater treatment and RNG facility that provides the City of
Pasco and the Processors with a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible
solution. The proposed facility includes all required equipment and systems to fully treat the
Processor wastewater to the specified effluent limits, starting with the acceptance of raw
wastewater from the City and ending with the delivery of treated wastewater back to the City
and pipeline quality RNG to Williams Northwest Pipeline. The facility includes three primary
process blocks: anerobic digestion for wastewater BOD and COD reduction and biogas
Page 239 of 297
20
production; an activated sludge process for nitrogen reduction; and a gas conditioning system
to upgrade biogas to RNG. Ancillary equipment, such as grit removal and an RNG pipeline
and interconnection, are also included in the proposed system design. The design represents
an approximately 30% project design and is capable of quickly moving to a complete design
should the RFP be awarded to the Developer and the final basis of design be agreed-to by the
City, the Processors, and the Project.
A full process description is provided in the following section beginning with the acceptance of
raw wastewater from the City. Detailed Process Flow Diagrams for the full wastewater
treatment system are provided in Exhibit C.
5.2.2 Process Flow Description
5.2.2.1 Raw Wastewater Rotary Drum Screens and Conveyor/Compactors
The raw wastewater will be collected and pumped by the City to the proposed project. The raw
wastewater enters a headbox where the energy is dissipated, and the flow is evenly distributed
onto the interior of a rotary screening drum (two duty and one standby) capable of handling a
peak flow. Solids particles (> ¼") are retained on the screen surface while the liquid flows
radially out through the screen openings. Screened solids are transported axially, by internal
flights, to the open end of the rotary drum screen. The entire screening surface is intermittently
washed by a fixed external spray bar. Washed and compacted screened solids will be
transferred and collected in a storage bin for final disposal.
Figure 2: Rotary Drum Screen
5.2.2.2 Grit Vortex System
The screened raw wastewater will be delivered to a grit vortex system for grit removal. The raw
wastewater is introduced into the grit system via a tangentially positioned inlet, causing a
rotational flow path around the dip plate. The flow spirals down the wall of the chamber as
solids settle out by gravitational forces and forces created by the rotating flow. The grit collects
in the grit pot as the center cone directs flow away from the base, up and around the center
shaft into the inside of the dip plate. The upward flow rotates at a slower velocity than the outer
downward flow. The resulting "shear" zone scrubs out the finer particles. The concentrated grit
Page 240 of 297
21
underflow is gravity fed to a grit classifier for dewatering. The result is clean dewatered grit with
low organic content.
Figure 3: Grit King Vortex System
5.2.2.3 Raw Wastewater Lift Station
The raw wastewater lift station will accept raw wastewater from the grit system. The influent lift
station level will be monitored by a level transmitter. The level transmitter will be used to
control the operation of the EQ feed pumps, which transfer raw wastewater from the influent lift
station to the EQ tank.
5.2.2.4 EQ Tank
The influent EQ tank with a liquid volume of 2 MG for Option 1 and 1.6 MG for Option 2 will
accept raw wastewater from the raw wastewater lift station. At design flow conditions, the
covered EQ tank will provide approximately 6 hours of hydraulic retention time (HRT). The EQ
tank will be equipped with three side-entry mixers). The EQ tank will provide mixing of the
incoming process wastewater and attenuate changes in process wastewater flow, organic
strength, alkalinity, pH, temperature, etc. prior to the biological treatment process. The
contents of the influent EQ tank will be pumped to either the anaerobic ADI-BVF reactors (via
the reactor feed pumps) or the SBR tanks (via the bypass pumps).
The EQ tank odor control system consists of a fan (with suction-side piped to the headspace of
the EQ tank and discharge side piped to distribution piping in the base of a biofilter) and a
biofilter. The fan operates continuously and will transmit EQ tank headspace gas into the base
of a biofilter. As the headspace gas rises through the biofilter, the odor is absorbed by the
media.
5.2.2.5 ADI-BVF® Reactor
The BVF® system is a low-rate anaerobic technology which provides a long hydraulic retention
time (HRT), large biomass inventory, and exceptionally long solids retention time (SRT). These
factors result in a robust, stable, resilient treatment system that provides the ability to digest
wastewater with high concentrations of BOD and TSS, greater stability during peak loads,
Page 241 of 297
22
lower supplemental nutrient/alkalinity requirements, high COD/BOD removals, greater flexibility
in terms of waste sludge handling and disposal, and a good quality anaerobic effluent.
Each BVF reactor will be an in-ground earth basin with an effective working volume of 40 MG
for Option 1 and 33 MG for Option 2. The ADI-BVF reactor is a low-rate anaerobic, up-flow
sludge blanket process. Wastewater enters the BVF via a specially designed piping network
beneath the sludge bed to ensure optimum substrate to biomass contact. As the wastewater
passes upward through the sludge blanket, microorganisms digest the majority of the organics,
reducing COD and BOD, while generating biogas.
The reactor supernatant and/or settled anaerobic sludge (SREC and RANS) will be returned
via recycle pumps to mix with the reactor influent. The recycle serves to attenuate shock
hydraulic/organic loading conditions and to buffer pH, alkalinity, temperature, and organic
loading. Additionally, the recycle will improve biomass/substrate contact and ensure a sludge
bed is maintained over the influent distribution system. Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) will
be added on the SREC/RANS line via metering pumps in order to provide sufficient alkalinity
for biomass growth and metabolism. Two boilers are included for heating the reactors (further
information on wastewater temperature is required to verify heat requirements).
Each BVF has a floating, insulated, geomembrane cover system which is sealed to the reactor
perimeter concrete wall allowing collection of biogas and odor control. The cover system
includes a self-draining system to minimize rainwater accumulation on the cover. The
anaerobic digestion process continuously produces biogas which is collected beneath the
reactor cover and delivered to the biogas conditioning system. It is estimated that annual
average and monthly peak day biogas flows of 2,390,000 ft3/d and 4,720,000 ft3/d, respectively
for Option 1, and 2,036,000 ft3/d and 3,975,000 ft3/d, respectively (at STP conditions) for
Option 2 will be generated at design conditions. The biogas will have a composition of
approximately 65% methane, 35% carbon dioxide, and approximately 1,800 ppm hydrogen
sulfide (assumed value for H2S content since no sulfurous data for the wastewater has been
provided), with the remainder representing water vapor and some minor gases. Biogas will be
cleaned and sent to the pipeline as described in the below Gas Conditioning System
description. There are two enclosed flares for burning of biogas, as required, and those are
also described below.
The proposed ADI-BVF reactor system will serve as the workhorse of the treatment system by
anaerobically digesting the majority of the influent organics. The ADI-BVF reactors are
expected to remove greater than 90 percent of the BOD load, and the BVF effluent will flow by
gravity to the four SBRs for N removal and aerobic polishing.
5.2.2.6 SBR System
The sequencing batch reactor (SBR) as its name implies, is a batch treatment technology. The
aerobic SBR is a variation of advanced activated sludge, where the SBR basin serves the
intended purposes of the selector, anaerobic, anoxic, aeration and clarifier basins (all unit
processes of advanced activated sludge) in a single vessel. In this case, where nutrient
removal is not required at the present time, the SBR cycle will not necessarily use anaerobic or
anoxic environment events.
Page 242 of 297
23
To take advantage of SBR versatility, the treatment of anaerobic effluent is done in cycles. The
cycle is defined as the elapsed time between feeds of consecutive batches of wastewater.
During a cycle, anaerobic effluent is fed, treated, settled, and then discharged. The cycle
duration is variable; however, to reach certain treatment objectives, the cycle and event
durations are limited by the hydraulics of the system and by the kinetics and settling
characteristics of the biomass.
SBR Cycle of Events
The SBR system is an activated sludge process that uses a repeating sequence of process
events to generate a high quality final effluent. The sequence and duration of events are
operator-adjustable to meet the treatment goals, but in general, there are five events that occur
during an SBR cycle:
1. FILL – The wastewater effluent is distributed into the SBR. The FILL event can take
place under aerated or non-aerated conditions.
2. MIX – One floating mixer will be used in each SBR basin, and MIX events will be
included in the SBR cycle. Mixed, non-aerated conditions promote denitrification for N
removal. The floating mixer in each SBR will provide mixing and allow the FILL event
taking place under mixed or unmixed conditions.
3. REACT – Aeration blowers and fine bubble diffuser aeration system will provide
aeration in the SBRs. Aerated conditions serve to oxidize organic carbon, and nitrify
ammonia.
4. SETTLE – This event takes place when all mixing and aeration is turned off and the
mixed liquor solids settle, allowing a clear supernatant to form in the upper part of the
reactor.
5. DECANT – When a substantial depth of supernatant has formed, supernatant is drawn
off the upper portion of the reactor at a controlled rate. Sludge wasting will occur during
this time as well, as the settled sludge bed will have attained a maximum solids
concentration.
Page 243 of 297
24
Figure 4: SBR Cycle of Events
In the SBR system, air is supplied for BOD removal and nitrification using a fine bubble diffuser
aeration system consisting of eight aeration blowers. The SBRs will achieve nitrification and
denitrification to meet the TN removal treatment objective (TN < 28 mg/l for Option 1 and 25
mg/l for Option 2).
Each SBR will be equipped with a floating decanter. The operation of each decanter achieves
the following:
• Prevents the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) from being deposited in the
decanter and effluent piping during the React (Mix and Aerate) events
• Withdraws clarified supernatant during the Decant event
Each decanter consists of an FRP float and draw tube with stainless-steel spring-loaded solids
excluding plugs, a heavy-duty wire reinforced flexible hose, steel knee brace, and elbow which
connects the decanter to the wall sleeve in the basin. The decanters float up and down with
the changing water level. During a Decant event, the opening of the effluent control valves
outside the SBR tank creates a hydraulic differential, causing the spring-loaded plugs to open
and allow treated effluent to enter the decanter and discharge to the effluent standpipe. During
all non-Decant events, the spring-loaded plugs close, preventing mixed liquor suspended
solids from entering the SBR effluent piping during non-Decant events.
The SBR system will produce a high-quality effluent that meets the treatment objectives for
BOD, TSS and TN. Each individual SBR basin will discharge effluent in batches; however, the
sequencing of events across all SBR basins will result in a continuous or near-continuous flow
of effluent to the point of discharge.
Page 244 of 297
25
Waste activated sludge (WAS) generated from the SBR system will be pumped to the BVF
reactors for anaerobic digestion during the Settle/Decant events for the SBRs.
The estimated waste anaerobic sludge (WANS) generated from the proposed BVF treatment
system is 27.6 MG/yr for Option 1 and 22.8 MG/yr for Option 2 at 4% solids concentration
(including WAS from SBRs). The waste sludge is digested, well stabilized, and is composed of
nutrient-rich mixture of biomass and undigested solids, which is stable and can be directly
land-applied as good fertilizer as a result of its high nutrient content in agricultural applications
(soil conditioning). The large sludge inventory of the BVF reactor allows for waste sludge
storage for a significant period of time (sludge wasting can be done in campaigns whenever it
is convenient for the Owner during the year).
5.2.2.7 Gas Conditioning System
The proposed gas conditioning system has been designed by Greenlane biogas and includes
all equipment and processes required to accept the raw biogas from the AD system and
provide pipeline quality natural gas to the interconnection to the Williams Northwest Pipeline.
Raw biogas collected by the AD geomembrane cover will be conveyed by biogas blowers prior
to the bulk H2S reduction system. During this stage, bulk liquids will be separated, and the
gas will be compressed and cooled.
The raw biogas will be sent to a caustic (NaOH) wash system for bulk H2S removal. The gas
passes through a chemical wash of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) which reacts chemically with the
H2S converting it into elemental sulfur and separating it from the gas stream. The sulfur is then
collected through sedimentation. The NaOH is then recovered through oxidization and reused.
Following bulk H2S removal, H2S polishing will take place, whereby the gas passes through a
vessel containing an iron oxide media which reacts with the H2S, converting it into a non-
hazardous sulfur compound, and separating it from the gas stream.
A compression and dehydration system will then be used to further remove bulk liquids,
compress the gas, cool it via ambient air, and then chill it via a mix of glycol and water so that
the gas can be delivered to the upgrading processes at the ideal temperature, dew point, and
pressure. Condensate will be removed during this stage at the coldest point.
The gas is then sent to the primary PSA upgrading system, which will separate out CO2, N2,
O2, and water vapor from the methane in the gas stream. The PSA system is particularly well-
suited to remove nitrogen, which will be needed in order for the biogas from this project to
meet pipeline specifications. During this process, the gas will pass through an adsorptive
media which traps the CO2, N2, O2 and H2O molecules. The CH4 molecules are not trapped by
the media and pass through, resulting in a clean, pressurized stream of bio-methane (RNG).
The system operates in a continuous, 12-vessel, fast cycle PSA process controlled by a single
rotary valve. The use of 12 beds provides for four depressurization steps, resulting in higher
methane recovery and smoother outlet flow than 4 or 9 bed systems. The valve moves each of
the 12 vessels through a sequence of upgrading and regeneration steps. Regeneration is
achieved by depressurizing the vessel and pulling a vacuum. The vacuum causes the media to
Page 245 of 297
26
let go of the collected CO2, N2, O2 and H2O molecules which are then carried of the vessel via
the vacuum blower.
Other ancillary system equipment includes Williams-specified gas analyzers to ensure the gas
meets pipeline specifications prior to injection into the pipeline lateral.
The system includes two enclosed flares to be used in several scenarios. First, should any
unplanned outages or upset conditions result in the inability of the biogas to be upgraded and
injected, the biogas will be routed to the flares. Second, should at any point in time the
upgraded gas not meet pipeline specifications immediately prior to injection, it will also be
routed to the flares so that off-spec gas does not enter the pipeline system.
5.2.2.8 Lateral Pipeline and Interconnection
Following upgrading, the now pipeline quality natural gas will be compressed and injected into
a lateral pipeline adjacent to the gas upgrading system. The lateral will transport the gas
approximately 2.7 miles to an interconnection to be installed into the Williams Northwest
Pipeline. Williams Northwest has provided a design and estimate for this portion of the project,
for which they would be responsible under the current project proposal. Should the Developer
be selected by the City to pursue the project, a cost-savings evaluation would be conducted on
an alterative proposal, where a third party constructs the pipeline and compression and makes
use of an existing pipeline tap at the Franklin PUD peaking plant, located adjacent to the
proposed interconnection point. The Developer has a Letter of Intent in place with Franklin
PUD to lease this site.
5.2.2.9 Additional Process Considerations
Several additional process elements have been evaluated by the Developer and may be
incorporated into the final project design.
First, discussions have recently begun with Basin Disposal for the project to accept a slurry of
the commercial food waste they collect. The volume of this slurry is less than 1% of the overall
flow into the system, and its high strength should result in beneficial biogas production. If the
Developer is selected to pursue the project, they will attempt to negotiate a term sheet with
Basin Disposal and incorporate their flows into the final project design basis. The addition of
this element to the project will have several benefits, including enabling Basin to dispose of the
food waste in an environmentally sound way while also providing them with renewable natural
gas which can be used to fuel several of their compressed natural gas trucks.
Additionally, the Developer, working with a local soil amendment partner who they collaborate
with on other projects in the region, will evaluate the digester sludge for possible upgrading to
higher value products. While the sludge does have nutrient value and is safe to land-apply,
that typically comes at a cost. By upgrading the sludge to a higher value product, such as
through composting, it’s possible it could be converted from a cost center to a profit center for
the project, or in the least become cost neutral. The Developer is also separately exploring
biochar opportunities and believes this project would be an ideal pilot for biochar technologies
to be tested on the sludge to create an even higher value product with long term carbon
benefits. The developer has confirmed interest in participation in this work from the Center for
Page 246 of 297

Sustainable Infrastructure, as it would further underpin the industrial symbiosis of the facility,
helping it to become a model for other cities.

5.3.3 Key Technology Block and Equipment Descriptions
5.3.3.1 Anerobic Digestion: ADI-BVF® Reactor
The BVF® system is a low-rate anaerobic technology which provides a long hydraulic retention
time (HRT), large biomass inventory, and exceptionally long solids retention time (SRT). These
factors result in a robust, stable, resilient treatment system that provides the ability to digest
wastewater with high concentrations of BOD and TSS, greater stability during peak loads,
lower supplemental nutrient/alkalinity requirements, high COD/BOD removals, greater flexibility
in terms of waste sludge handling and disposal, and a good quality anaerobic effluent.
The biogas is collected under the geomembrane cover and will be transmitted to the enclosed
biogas flares and/or to utilization (by others). The reactor operates under a slight vacuum to
prevent the release of odors from the anaerobic system.
The BVF technology provides the following benefits and advantages:
• Low operating and maintenance costs as a result of simple-to-operate, low energy
consumption design. Compared to other anaerobic treatment systems, the BVF reactor
requires less mixing, chemicals, nutrients, and supplemental alkalinity, resulting in low
operating and maintenance costs. Internal clarification is included in the BVF reactor
design, eliminating the need for an external clarification unit to retain the anaerobic
solids.
• Adds process stability to entire treatment process. Due to long hydraulic retention time
and significant biomass inventory, the low-rate BVF reactor is resilient against peak
hydraulic and organic loads and toxic/inhibitory compounds. The BVF reactor provides
built-in flow equalization and will consistently send a good quality anaerobic effluent to
the downstream activated sludge system.
• Satisfactory performance over a wide range of temperature conditions. Greatly
improves the energy balance, extends anaerobic applicability, and further simplifies the
overall treatment system.
• Low waste sludge production rate and greater flexibility for waste sludge removal.
Exceptionally long solids retention time (SRT) and low growth rate minimize sludge
handling and disposal costs. Additionally, the large volume of the BVF reactor provides
the flexibility of waste anaerobic sludge (WANS) storage, allowing WANS to be wasted
from the BVF reactor as infrequently as twice per year. Waste sludge is stable and can
typically be directly land-applied as liquid fertilizer. Furthermore, the BVF reactor will
Page 255 of 297
36
digest waste activated sludge from the downstream SBR system which simplifies sludge
management and reduces overall sludge production.
• No need for granular sludge. Granular sludge required in high-rate systems is
expensive and often difficult to obtain. Furthermore, granular sludge is difficult to retain
with high-rate systems due to washout and degranulation. The BVF reactor efficiently
retains flocculent biomass.
• Geomembrane cover complements the design of the BVF® reactor:
o Allows for collection and removal of biogas
o Insulated for temperature control
o Sampling ports allow reactor contents to be accessed while the reactor is
operating
o Allows for variations in liquid level
o Efficient rainwater collection system, allowing rainwater to drain into the reactor
o Good access (a person can readily walk anywhere on the cover)
o Easy repair without taking the reactor out of service (operators are trained how to
do this using a repair kit)
5.3.3.2 Nitrogen Removal: SBR System
The SBR process is a variation of an activated sludge system which utilizes batch operation
kinetics to aerobically treat the anerobic effluent. In the SBR, different environments are
created by controlling process equipment such as blowers, pumps, and decanters during a
timed cycle. The timing and sequencing of events in an SBR cycle (Fill/Mix, Aeration, Settle,
and Decant) depend on the influent characteristics and the treatment objectives and can be
adjusted as needed to meet discharge requirements.
SBR technology will provide the following benefits and advantages:
• Flexible control system and operations. A process controller/computer is used to
coordinate the sequencing of events and environments in a single tank to treat
wastewater in batches. By linking a programmable logic controller (PLC), the process
is easily monitored and controlled on-site by plant personnel. The use of a
computerized control system to operate the sequence of treatment events in the
reactor also makes the process highly flexible.
• Eliminates requirement for external secondary clarifier or return sludge pump. All
process reactions and sedimentation take place in the same reactor vessel. The unit
of time, rather than reactor volume, is used to separate process reaction events,
minimizing the footprint required for wastewater treatment.
• Easily adaptable to nutrient removal. The possible variations and combinations of
events within the single reactor allow for the removal of organic carbon, suspended
solids, ammonia-nitrogen, and total phosphorus.
• Adjustable operation based on treatment objectives. The timing and sequencing of
events in an SBR cycle depend on the influent wastewater characteristics and the
treatment objectives. If necessary, an SBR cycle event can be changed quickly and
Page 256 of 297
37
easily at any time in response to changing conditions (for example, lengthening the
SETTLE time may be beneficial in circumstances of deteriorating sludge settleability).
• No short-circuiting in settling. Some "pseudo-SBR"s on the market are designed to
accept influent continuously and allow simultaneous feeding and decanting. However,
all Evoqua SBR systems are "true batch" reactors and designed to operate having
zero short circuiting, meaning no inflow or outflow during settling event.
• Utilizes floating mixers for mixing and fine bubble diffusers for aeration. Mixing can be
conducted without aeration during Mix events allowing anoxic conditions to promote
denitrification for N removal.
• Evoqua Decanter. The decanter is comprised of an FRP float and draw tube with
stainless steel spring-loaded solids excluding valves, a heavy-duty wire reinforced
flexible hose, steel knee brace, and elbow which connects the decanter to the wall
sleeve in the basin. The decanter floats up and down with the changing water level.
During a Decant event, the opening of the effluent control valve outside the SBR
basin creates a hydraulic differential, causing the spring-loaded plugs to open and
allow treated effluent to enter the decanter and discharge to the effluent standpipe.
During all non-Decant events, the spring-loaded plugs close, preventing mixed liquor
suspended solids from entering the SBR effluent piping during non-Decant events.
The Evoqua decanter provides the following benefits and advantages:
o Prevents solids from being deposited in the decanter and effluent piping during
the React (Mix and Aerate) events
o No electro-mechanical equipment or moving parts, which reduces maintenance
and inspection requirements
o Hinged knee brace assembly restricts horizontal movement of the decanter
o Support assembly restricts vertical travel of the decanter
Figure 5: Evoqua SBR Decanter
5.3.3.3 Gas Upgrading System
The primary technology consideration for the biogas conditioning system is the type of
upgrading system to employ. Gas upgrading is the primary step for the removal of impurities—
such as CO2, N2, O2 and H2O—that is needed to meet pipeline gas specifications. In general,
there are three main options to evaluate: PSA, water wash, and membrane. Greenlane was
Page 257 of 297
38
selected as to provide the technology proposal at this stage of the project because, as one of
the only vendors who offers all three options, they are able to provide an unbiased view of the
technology best suited for the project.
A PSA system was selected for gas upgrading primarily because it meets the nitrogen removal
requirements of the project’s biogas, where other options will fall short. In the PSA system, the
gas is compressed and then flows through vessels containing beds of a specialized adsorptive
media. The CO2, N2, O2 & H2O molecules adhere to the surface of the media while the CH4
passes through, resulting in a continuous uninterrupted stream of high purity natural gas. The
media is then regenerated in by applying a deep vacuum to the vessel which causes the media
to release the collected contaminants. The methane recovered during regeneration is recycled
back to the inlet ensuring the highest possible recovery rate. The process is controlled by a
PLC on a continuous and fully automated cycle.
The primary PSA benefits include:
• High levels of nitrogen removal that other approaches cannot meet
• Simultaneous separation of CO2, N2, O2 and H2O
• A dependable & adjustable process
5.4 SITE OVERVIEW
5.4.1 Wastewater Treatment and Gas Upgrading
The Developer proposes two potential sites for the project. Site A is the preferred site and
utilizes approximately 20 acres of the 40-acre City-owned parcel located directly to the west of
the existing PWRF storage lagoon. This site provides ample room for all key wastewater
treatment and gas conditioning process blocks, proximity to the existing headworks for easy
receipt of wastewater flows, proximity to the current and planned City storage ponds for
storage of treated effluent, and favorable access to the Williams Northwest pipeline for the
RNG interconnection. A proposed layout is provided in Figure 6.
Page 258 of 297
39
Figure 6: Proposed Project Site A
The project team recognizes, however, that the City is currently also planning for a large
expansion of winter storage capacity in the vicinity of the PWRF, and thus ultimate land
availability will be dependent on the final layout of that storage. As a result, the Developer
would also be able to locate the project on Site B, which is a location to the north of the PWRF
on land that is currently owned by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. A proposed layout for Site
B is provided in Figure 7.
Page 259 of 297

Figure 7: Proposed Project Site B
5.4.2 Pipeline and Interconnection
The Developer has worked with Williams Northwest Pipeline to identify a suitable
interconnection point for the project RNG, which will be at William’s Franklin PUD
Interconnection adjacent to the Pasco City Gate and the Reimann Industrial Park. The two
firms have also confirmed the availability of pipeline capacity, and Williams has provided a cost
estimate for the pipeline and required interconnection. The development team and Williams
have identified the preferred pipeline lateral pathway between the PWRF and the
interconnection point, which is identified in Figure 8.

Figure 8: Proposed Pipeline Lateral to Williams Northwest Pipeline
The project team has also identified an interconnect optimization opportunity that may result in
lower project costs and increased project benefits in the future. The team has signed a Letter
of Intent (LOI) with Franklin PUD to lease their decommissioned peaking plant site located
adjacent to the Williams Northwest Pipeline and the Pasco City Gate. The site is identified as
the Franklin PUD Interconnection Site in Figure 9. This site would uniquely enable this
proposed project to offer potentially lower interconnection costs through the utilization of
Franklin PUD’s existing tap into the Williams Northwest Pipeline, as well as offer an
opportunity to provide interconnection access via truck from other projects the team is working
on in the region. If selected to develop the project, the team will immediately move to convert
the LOI with Franklin PUD into a site lease.

5.5 RNG OVERVIEW
5.5.1 Anticipated Production
Based on Evoqua’s BVF reactor design and the Design Criteria provided in the RFP, the
annual average biogas flow is anticipated to be 2,390,000 ft3/d in Option 1 and 2,036,000 ft3/d
in Option 2 (at STP conditions).. Based on extensive prior experience with similar wastewater
flows, the biogas is expected to have a composition of approximately 65% methane. As a
result, expected RNG production is provided in Table 4.
Table 4: Projected RNG Production
RNG (Methane) Production* Option 1 Option 2
Annual Average (ft3/d) 1,553,500 1,323,400
Yearly Production (ft3)** 538,676,125 458,888,950
15-Year Production (ft3) 8,080,141,875 6,883,334,250
*Calculations are for production of 100% methane; pipeline specifications only require approximately 96%
methane, and so actual delivered product volumes will be higher.
**Assumes 95% Gas Conditioning System uptime; yearly production assumed to be consistent but will
depend on Processor flows.
These figures have not been used for financial modeling, pro forma development, or rate
development purposes, and they will not be used to underwrite the facility, unless the City is
Page 262 of 297
43
able to guarantee the influent Design Criteria (specifically, BOD), as they currently rely on
future estimated, but unobserved, wastewater characteristics. While it is expected that these
volumes can be met once the facility reaches full design capacity and criteria loads, more
conservative estimates have been otherwise used.
5.5.2 Offtake Plan
The RNG produced by the project is expected to be sold in the Voluntary Market under a long-
term off-take agreement.
There are two basic markets for RNG: the vehicle transportation market, which is known as the
Compliance Market, and the Voluntary Market. The Compliance Market includes the Low
Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) markets in states like California and Oregon (and soon,
Washington) and Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) under the federal Renewable Fuel
Standard (RFS). The Compliance Market drives significant interest in RNG because it’s
possible to receive very high values for the fuel in those markets if the right criteria are met.
The two key criteria are:
• Low Carbon Intensity (CI) scores: CI scores are measured based on the baseline
emissions that a project will eliminate. The higher the baseline emissions, and the more
comprehensive the reduction by the project, the lower the CI score. The lower the CI
score, the more value the RNG has in the LCFS markets, and high value scores are
highly negative (e.g. -200 to -400).
• Cellulosic Content: RNG derived from a certain percentage of cellulosic content
generates high value D3 RINs as compared to RNG that is low in cellulosic content,
which generates low value D5 RINs.
While Compliance Markets can often provide higher value, they can also fluctuate
substantially, and prices for RNG sold into those markets cannot be locked-in over a long-term
contract.
The Voluntary Markets are primarily composed of large gas utilities and Corporations who are
attempting to decarbonize their footprint. The values for RNG in these markets is somewhat
lower than Compliance Markets but can be fixed for 10 to 20 year terms. These long-term,
fixed-price contracts provide viable project finance tools, whereas the Compliance Markets
generally do not.
The wastewater in this project is not well-suited for the Compliance Market. Because it is not a
municipal wastewater treatment plant, it will not meet the cellulosic requirements to qualify for
D3 RINs, and therefore it would only receive D5 RINs. And for the LCFS markets, the project
does not have a very low CI score—the score will be at best single-digits positive, but likely
higher than that—and therefore it will generate little LCFS value. In addition to low value, high-
CI fuels currently have limited demand in the LCFS markets, resulting in low marketability and
higher fees paid to brokers, further eroding value. Finally, given the cost of this facility and its
very long design life, the project lends itself to more traditional project finance, which is not
well-suited for the Compliance Markets. As a result, this proposal recommends marketing the
project’s RNG output into the Voluntary Markets.
Page 263 of 297

The project team has completed many of these long-term agreements in the Voluntary Market
and is in continual conversations with these buyers. The team has first-hand experience not
only working with the important terms of a successful offtake in these markets, but also
developed some of them for the first time, helping to pioneer the market. Some of this
experience is outlined in the Reference Projects section of this proposal.
If selected to pursue this project, the next step will be to provide a Term Sheet to the most
active buyers in the Voluntary Market. Once a buyer is selected, that Term Sheet will be
converted into Purchase and Sale Agreement as we move through final project design. From
our continual discussion with these Buyers, we expect a range of values for the RNG output
from this project to be from $15 to $20/MMBtu, with escalation over a 10-to-20-year term. We
know of several buyers contracting today at higher values than this, but in order to take a
conservative approach at this stage, this proposal is assuming a $15/MMBtu. The Developer
expects to have a signed Term Sheet for the offtake within 3 months of completing contracts
with the City.
5.6 EMISSIONS AND PERMITTING STRATEGY
5.6.1 Anticipated Emissions and Air Permitting
Based on an emissions analysis of the proposed facility, the primary activity that will trigger an
air permit are related to the flaring of biogas or RNG—any emissions from gas upgrading and
other operations are nominal in relation to this activity. Thus, the anticipated emissions
evaluation and air permitting strategy discussion will focus on emissions from flaring.
The proposed project is designed to maximize the both the economic and environmental value
of converting the raw biogas to RNG, and thus flaring will be held to a minimum. For this
proposal, potential emissions were evaluated across four potential operational scenarios:
1. Low gas production, low flaring requirements
2. Low gas production, high flaring requirements
3. High gas production, low flaring requirements
4. High gas production, high flaring requirement
Working with Trinity Consultants, a respected air permitting consulting firm the Developers
have used for other RNG projects in the region, an analysis was performed on each scenario
to determine the permitting thresholds that would be triggered. The primary focus is whether
any of the emissions constituents at issue with this project—PM, PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx,
VOC, CO, Pb, HAPs, CO2e—will trigger more-arduous Title V Permitting Thresholds. The
evaluation concluded quite clearly that the facility will be below the Title V limits even in
Scenario 4, which is the highest-emissions scenario developed. The conclusion, therefore, is
that the project will only require a Notice of Construction (NOC) air permit, which the
development team is experienced with obtaining from the Washington Department of
Ecology’s Eastern Regional Office.
Page 264 of 297
45
5.6.2 Other Permits
The other primary permit required by the proposed facility will be a State Waste Discharge
permit with the Department of Ecology. This permit has historically been obtained and
maintained by the City, and the Developer’s understanding is that the City has already begun
the process to update the PWRF facility plan and permit for the project with Ecology. This
proposal recommends that the City and its consultants continue to manage this process. Post-
award, the project team would meet with the City and it is consultants to develop a final basis
of design. Based on that work, the project team would make any updates necessary to the
design that has been developed to date and be in a position to provide the City with any inputs
needed for its Facility Plan and Permit submissions to Ecology. The project team anticipates
being able to provide full support to the City in a timely matter and does not expect any issues
with the overall project schedule, as discussed below.
Typical, more-minor building, right-of-way, easement, fire protection and other permits and
approvals will be needed to complete prior to breaking ground. In the project team’s
experience with Franklin County, these permits can be obtained in 1-4 weeks and will not drive
any aspects of the project’s schedule.
5.6.3 Permit Schedule
The Notice of Construction (NOC) air permit and the Solid Was Discharge permit will be
pursued and completed on parallel paths.
The Developer will begin preparing its NOC permit upon RFP award from the City. Working
with Trinity Consultants, the NOC permit is expected to take six weeks to model and prepare
submittal. Once submitted, Ecology has 30 days to review the application and deem it
complete. Once submitted and deemed complete, the NOC air permit currently takes 8-12
weeks to receive approval from the Washington Department of Ecology’s Eastern Regional
Office. As a result, the Developer expects the NOC air permit to be received within 6 months of
RFP award.
The Developer currently anticipates it will take the City and its consultants 12 weeks to
complete an updated Facility Plan and associated permit applications once they have received
detailed facility design data from the Developer. Based on the extensive work that has been
completed to date by the Developer and Evoqua, it’s expected that the updated facility design
data can be provided to the City within 4 weeks of RFP award, but this is dependent on the
finalization of the design basis with the City and the Processors. Once the Facility Plan and
applications are submitted to Ecology, it is expected to take approximately 6 weeks for the
Department of Ecology to review and issue the new Discharge permit.
The timelines of the two primary permits are aligned and will meet the overall project schedule
provided in this RFP, enabling construction to be commenced on time for the necessary
project delivery date to be met.

5 .7 FINANCING PLAN
5.7.1 Financing Structure
The expectation is that the project will be financed with a combination of tax-exempt and
taxable private activity bonds in order to access lower cost financing. The Developer is working
with financial and legal advisors to develop the most cost-advantageous structure. Based on
the financial assumptions in this proposal, the Developer’s advisors believe that the project can
achieve an 80% loan-to-value ratio on the project. Its expected that the project will qualify for
$10-20 million of tax-exempt bonds based on the proposed contractual relationship with the
City and the underlying wastewater treatment attributes of the Project. Multiple factors will
influence the final amount of tax-exempt financing available, including whether or not an
allocation is available with the State of Washington. For purposes of this bid, the Developer
has assumed a loan tenor of 30 years (28 years of operation plus two years of construction
and shake-out) based on a 30-year agreement with the City, but other terms may be
considered.
The remaining capital will be provided by Burnham through an equity investment. Burnham will
use a combination of current and new investors to finance the remaining 20% of capital
required for the project. Based on the expected equity returns and conversations to date with
Burnham’s existing investors, potential new investors and financial advisors, Burnham expects
to be able to finance the full equity commitment amount, conditioned on a strong contract with
the City.
5.7.2 Incentives and Grants
The Development team believes the proposed project is well-positioned to receive substantial
grant funding, which, based on the project structure, would result in a direct decrease in
wastewater treatment costs for the City and Processors. The Development team will support
and help lead efforts to secure funding with Washington’s federal congressional delegation and
with the State of Washington.
In addition to seeking out grants for the proposed project, the Developers anticipate pursing a
Washington State Department of Commerce Clean Energy Fund RD&D grant to develop a
pilot demonstration for the conversion of the project’s sludge to biochar.
5.8 STRUCTURE
5.8.1 Ownership Structure
The indicative term sheet provided in Appendix B expects that the Facility will be owned by
Burnham SEV Pasco LLC, a Washington-based wholly owned subsidiary of Burnham
(“ProjectCo”). ProjectCo will design, construct, finance, own and operate the Facility.
Page 266 of 297
47
Relationship with the City will be based on an arms-length contract to treat the wastewater
delivered to the Facility by the City and return the treated effluent wastewater at the required
contractual specifications. To reduce cost of capital (financing costs) and ensure Burnham is
fully accounting for the City’s optimal financial structure, upon selection Burnham will work with
legal and financial advisors to evaluate alternative structures that may result in lower total
costs to the City and ultimately the processor. For instance, it may be advantageous for the
City to own the assets and grant ProjectCo a concession to design, construct, finance and
operate without owning the underlying assets.
5.8.2 Contractual Requirements
An Indicative Term Sheet outlining the key contractual requirements being proposed by
Burnham has been attached as Appendix B, per the RFP instructions.
5.9 PROJECT CAPITAL COST
The total treatment capital costs estimates are provided in Table 5.

6. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
6.1 DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
A Project schedule is provided in Figure 1. The schedule is driven by the Trigger events, with
the entire schedule commencing at RFP selection. Target dates are provided, along with
Longstop Dates that provide Burnham and the City with contractual remedies that are either
specified in the Term Sheet provided in Exhibit B or to be negotiated as part of the Water
Treatment Agreement between Burnham and the City. Potential pre-construction schedule
improvements may be available depending on Burnham and City’s contracting terms and
timing.
Figure 10: Project Schedule
6.2 SCHEDULE DELAY MITIGANTS
Several options have been developed to address potential schedule delays. First, a Longstop
Date has been proposed in the indicative Term Sheet in Appendix B should the Project not
reach start-up by a certain date.
Second, the Development Team is aware that schedule is a critical driver for the City and start-
up must be achieved by a certain date. In the event that the Facility is incapable of accepting
the necessary amount of wastewater by that expected start date, the Development Team has
considered a number of options that may be available:
• Utilize expanded winter storage capacity, which should be online and empty during the
period at which the delay would possibly be taking place (Spring/Summer), to
temporarily store wastewater prior to treatment in the Facility once it is online.
• Utilize a temporary DAF system to pretreat wastewater prior to sending it to the
municipal system or land applying for a period of time.

• A combination of the above strategies, with streams split to different locations if
required.
Each of the above options requires further analysis with the input of the City and its
consultants. If selected to win this RFP, the Development Team would propose quickly
standing up a Schedule Delay Mitigation team to evaluate these options and provide the
Developer, the City, and the Processors with recommendations.

7. COMPENSATION AND RATE STRUCTURE
7.1 RNG PROPOSAL
7.1.1 Methodology and Value
This proposal values the Project as one company with two revenue streams: RNG and
Wastewater Treatment. The RNG will be sold to a third-party and Wastewater Treatment
services will be provided to the City. Wastewater costs are significantly reduced by the
presence of RNG. Assuming a fixed total cost of capital of ~10%, we estimate that
approximately 80% of the net value from the RNG assets will be returned to the City and the
Processors via a reduced rate for Wastewater Treatment Services. The Developer will provide
clear, agreed-upon RNG accounting to the City on a regular basis so that the City can allocate
those cost reductions directly back to the Processors using the methodology it prefers (e.g.
based upon BOD load).
Ultimately, our proposal is based on two principles:
• The City pays for the cost of wastewater treatment (which the City can pass on to the
Processors) via a long-term, fixed price contract with the City; Burnham will accept
many of the risks associated with wastewater treatment (such as providing a
guaranteed project delivery date), but will pass other costs (such as electricity) through
directly to the City in order to save cost and double charging. The attached proposal
reflects this principle.
• The City does not pay any cost associated with the RNG – including capital costs, gas
transportation cost or RNG operating cost; Burnham will be assume risk associated with
these assets; the City and Processors benefit as the total wastewater treatment rate
charged on is lowered by the amount of RNG revenue that is returned back to the City
and Processors.
7.2 TREATMENT RATES
7.2.1 City Rate
The proposed treatment rate to be provided to the City is $6,406/MG for Option 1, and
$8,300/MG for Option 2. A breakdown of the rate development along with a comparison to
prior estimated rates from previous 30% design efforts for the PWRF are shown in Table 6.

Prior 30% Design $/MG $7,183 $8,137
$ Change -10.8% 2.0%
7.2.2 Treatment Rate Development for Processors
The structure provided in this RFP recommends that Burnham and the City contract for the
treatment of wastewater based upon an agreed upon rate, with a pass-through of certain
operating costs. Under this structure, Burnham would not specifically be responsible for
charging the Processors for their use of the Facility, as that role would fall to the City. The rate
provided to the City, though, should be representative of the average rate Processors will pay,
but individual rates would be subject to more complex rate development methodologies, as is
discussed below.
Burnham will provide support to the City in the development of the Processor rate structure,
though, and recommends the parties work with FCS Consultants to develop a well-supported,
commonly used methodology. In general, Burnham expects that the City rate should:
• Charge proportionally based on the flow, BOD, and TN for each Processor.
• Return RNG revenue to each Processor proportional to their BOD levels.
• Charge new customers and existing customers that expand their water flows
(proportional to the amount of their expanded flows over existing flows) a higher
proportion of new capital costs than existing customers who maintain or reduce their
flows.
As the RFP provides no visibility into existing costs currently being charged to the Processors
or new costs for expanded storage capacity, Burnham has not taken those into account in any
of the analysis or figures provided in this Proposal.

Purpose Upon COD, City will provide the Minimum Volume Obligation of
wastewater at Influent Specifications at the influent delivery point for
Project Company (“Influent Delivery Point”) to treat such water to the
Effluent Specifications and return. Project Company will finance,
construct, [own] and operate a Facility that will take wastewater from City
at Influent Delivery Point, treat water to Effluent Specifications and return
to Customer at effluent deliver point (“Effluent Delivery Point”).
Minimum Volume Obligation [2,700 | 1,800]1 million gallons per year
Term Thirty (30) years from COD with two five (5) year extensions.
Effective Date Date Parties execute Agreement.
COD Project Company expects to receive all Project Permits, close financing,
and commence construction (“NTP”) within six (6) months of the Effective
Date, but in no event later than nine (9) months from the Effective Date
(the “Longstop NTP Date”).
Project Company expects COD to occur within twenty-one (21) months
from the Effective Date, but in no event later than twenty-seven (27)
months from the Effective Date (the “COD Longstop Date”).
Consideration City shall pay Project Company a fee equal to [$5,500 | $7,000]2 per million
gallons (“Treatment Fee”) plus certain pass-through costs (the “Pass-
Through Costs”) plus additional cost incurred to treat water due to
wastewater not meeting Influent Specifications, on a “Take or Pay basis”.
The Treatment Fee will adjust annually to reflect year-over-year changes
in the Consumer Price Index with the first annual adjustment to take place
on April 22, 2023.
For purposes hereof, Pass-Through Costs include, and will be subject to a
margin cost of 10% of actual cost:
• Electricity
• Consumables
• Major Maintenance Expenses
• Additional City / PWRF existing expenses not expected to be part of
the Facility
• The above expenses will only be a Pass-Through cost if associated
with the Water Treatment; costs associated with RNG upgrading and
transportation will not be Pass-Through Costs
Treatment Fee Assumptions The Treatment Fee is based on the following assumptions:
• Total Facility Capital Cost of [$85,800,000 | $77,000,000 ], as follows:
o [$73,000,000 | $65,000,000 ] for IMCO wastewater
treatment scope

Weston | Option 2 from the Proposal Without Lamb Weston]
2 Please note that our colleagues at Evoqua have spent more time engineering the “With Lamb Weston” case; consequently
we expect there may be additional cost savings in the “No Lamb Weston” case that we have not finalized. The formula
provided will provide a mechanism for reduced cost for City and Processors if capital costs are lower than currently
estimated.

Assembly of Proposal
Evaluator’s Comments:
• Very large submittal. Had issues submitting proposal due to file size (39MB).
Could have divided proposal into different files or compressed file for easier
transmission.
• Appendix B: Letters of Support – AECOM’s is a draft agreement versus letter.

Approach and Understanding of Requirements
Evaluator’s Comments:
• BNR and AD systems via lease with the City.
• Wastewater treatment provided in exchange for service fees from
Processors.
• Proposed approach appears to be heavy on the amount of equipment
needed and the separation of treatment processes.
• A much larger system than what we thought was needed for PWRF needs.

Experience of Developer
The Developer will provide background information on the firm, including years
in business; total annual revenue; organization structure; and experience of key
personnel.
Evaluator’s Comments:
• Anaergia seems to have a lot of experience with many very large AD/RNG
systems. Three example projects provided.
• Experience appears to be more focused on organic solid waste systems
rather than agricultural wastewater as the source for methane production.
• Didn’t see any mention of a land treatment system for final disposal of
processed wastewater.

Technical Approach
Description of Proposed Project
Developers will describe the project (or projects) they expect to develop in
response to this RFP, and if appropriate an alternative project (or projects) to
the primary project. The Developer will identify the expected purchaser of their
energy product, and/or outline their plan and schedule for securing an energy
purchaser. The Developer will summarize their expectations for energy pricing,
and the basis for these expectations.
Project Development Schedule
The Developer will provide an expected project development schedule,
expressed in months after notification of award. As a minimum, the Developer
should show early completion dates and late completion dates for key
milestones.
Evaluator’s Comments:
• Two separate waste streams proposed: organic solid waste and Processor
wastewater. Organic solid waste stream goes to an anaerobic digestor with
captured gas going to RNG process.
• Processor stream of agricultural wastewater (11.5 MGD) going from DAF
units to SBR (12.8 MGD) then to discharge (storage ponds/farm fields).
• No Processor water going to AD system.
• Proposal seems more focused on the organic solid waste stream to RNG
rather than the Processor’s wastewater to RNG.
• More cost to the Processors for something they don’t utilize.
• Not quite what we are looking for.
• The proposed schedule of completion by 2026 does not fit our needed
timeframe.
• Might be too big a proposed project than what we need or can fit within our
schedule.

Compensation to Processors
Developer must include proposed compensation terms for royalty payments,
fixed percentage of gross revenue, variable percentage of gross revenue or fixed
monthly payment. Developer can submit any compensation approach, provided
the calculation methodology is transparent and verifiable. Developer should
also indicate whether compensation proposed includes the sharing of any tax
incentives, tax benefits, renewable energy certificates, assistance payments, or
other financial or monetary benefits received by virtue of the characterization
of RNG as a renewable energy resource.
Evaluator’s Comments:
• Project Cost: $185M
• Will provide a share of 50% of net revenue, to be divided between the City
and Processors.
• Net Revenue defined as total facility revenue (including sales of both the RNG
commodity and environmental attributes) less RNG facility operation costs
and RNG facility capital charges.
• No breakout of estimated cost
• Very expensive project – more than double other estimated options.
• No estimate provided of shared net revenues
