Ground Lease with Sedron Technologies

[00:20:03]

THAT'S. WELL CAPITALIZED, IS SIGNED ON AS A GUARANTOR ON THE LEASE SO THAT BIG WELL CAPITALIZED COMPANY IS FULLY OBLIGATED ON ALL OF THE DUTIES AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS LEASE. AS I MENTIONED, THE LEASE HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND REVISED BY MY OFFICE AND REVIEWED BY STAFF IN MULTIPLE ITERATIONS. GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH CEDRON, THEY'VE BEEN VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH IN WORKING THROUGH ALL OF IT, AND IT'S BEEN APPROVED BY MY OFFICE FOR LEGAL SUFFICIENCY. SO THE LEASE IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT FOR YOUR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. AND STANLEY JANICKI WITH, CEDRON TECHNOLOGIES IS HERE TO SPEAK TO YOU AND THE PUBLIC FURTHER ABOUT THE PROJECT. YES STANLEY HAS HIS OWN PRESENTATION. HE'S GOING TO, ZOOM FROM THERE. SO PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M GOING TO PULL IT UP HERE JUST ONE MOMENT. AND WE ALSO HAVE TIM EVANSON WITH US, HE FLEW IN ALL THE WAY FROM WASHINGTON STATE. STANLEY CAME TO US PROBABLY FROM NEW YORK. EXACTLY. PERFECT. THANK YOU. WELL I'M STANLEY JANICKI. I'M THE CHIEF COMMERCIAL OFFICER HERE AT CEDRON TECHNOLOGIES. SO TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT WE'RE WORKING ON HERE. BUT ALSO WE'VE KIND OF HEARD THOUGHTS FROM THE COMMUNITY. WE'VE SEEN SOME PRESS ARTICLES WE WANTED TO SHARE, REALLY WHAT WE'RE REALLY WORKING ON HERE AND HAVE A VERY OPEN DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THIS IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY IN A POSITIVE WAY, AND ALSO GIVE EVERYONE HERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS WITH US, OPINE ON HOW MAYBE WE CAN LEARN FROM ALL OF YOU ON WHAT WE'RE BUILDING HERE AND ALSO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THERE'S AN AVENUE TO SPEAK WITH US. EVERY MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY CAN REACH OUT TO US, OFFER TOURS OF OTHER FACILITIES WE BUILT. IT'S REALLY I MEAN, AN OPEN CONVERSATION SORT OF THING. SO I'M GOING TO ROLL THROUGH THIS. I'M GOING TO GO FAIRLY QUICKLY. SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE, BUT IT'S GOING TO START WITH A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON WHO WE ARE. WHO'S THE COMPANY, WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY? WHAT PROBLEMS THE TECHNOLOGY SOLVES. EXAMPLES OF OTHER INSTALLATIONS WHERE WE'VE ACTUALLY BUILT THIS AND SUCCESSFULLY RUN IT IN OTHER STATES. AND THEN WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN INDIANTOWN AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR A RESIDENTS OF INDIANTOWN. SO WE'LL JUMP INTO THAT HERE. FIRST OFF, CEDRON TECHNOLOGIES IS A SPIN OFF OF A LARGE AEROSPACE COMPANY CALLED JANICKI INDUSTRIES THAT MY FATHER FOUNDED IN THE EARLY 1990S. THIS COMPANY IS A PRIME ON THE JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER ON THE B-21 BOMBER, AND A WIDE RANGE OF OTHER AEROSPACE PROJECTS. SEVERAL TECHNOLOGIES WE SPUN OFF IN 2014 WITH INITIAL FUNDING FROM THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION TO DEVELOP SANITATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR THEM IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. WE THEN DEVELOPED THIS CORE TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE OVER 200 EMPLOYEES NOW, WELL CAPITALIZED WITH PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS. SO VERY EXCITING COMPANY. IT'S A LOT OF FUN. WHAT WE DO, I WANT TO WALK THROUGH A LITTLE BIT LIKE WHAT? WHY ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING THIS? AND IT'S TO SOLVE WITH GROWING POPULATIONS, GROWING ISSUES AROUND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, NUTRIENT

[00:25:01]

THIS IS AN ADVANCED BIOSOLIDS PROCESSING SYSTEM. AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH IT'S REALLY A VERY EFFICIENT ELECTRIC BIOSOLIDS SYSTEM. THIS IS A MARK. SORRY I PUT MY CLICKER WILL WORK. THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY THE CORE USES RELATIVE TO CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS. IT'S THE MOST ADVANCED BIOSOLIDS PROCESSING SYSTEM IN EXISTENCE, WITH INCREDIBLY LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION. AND THAT ALLOWS US TO BE VERY EFFICIENT. HOW WE DOING THIS LOW GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND PRODUCE VIABLE PRODUCTS IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER. WE MAKE TAKE THE BIOSOLIDS IN. WE PRODUCE BEAUTIFUL, CRYSTAL CLEAR, CLEAN WATER, GORGEOUS, DRY, SOLID CLASS DOUBLE A BIOSOLIDS FERTILIZER THAT WE ALSO YOUR PREVIOUS SLIDE YOU SKIPPED OVER THE PFAS. CAN YOU JUST MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT PFAS IS. THOSE ARE YOUR FOREVER CHEMICALS CORRECT. SO THERE'S THIS IS THE KEY PART HERE IS IT'S A THERMAL DISTILLATION PROCESS. AND IN THERMAL DISTILLATION THE PFAS ARE LARGE LONG CHAIN MOLECULES. THEY WON'T EVAPORATE IN THE DISTILLATION PROCESS. SO WE SEQUESTER THEM BEHIND AND THEY'RE NOT IN THE WATER. SO THIS WATER THAT WE WILL THEN SEND TO THE WASTEWATER PLANT IS ACTUALLY VERY CLEAN. I MEAN, LIKE, YOU COULD DRINK THAT. IT'S GORGEOUS. THAT PRODUCT IS SUCH THAT THERE WON'T BE FAULTS. SO WE'RE KEEPING THAT OUT OF THAT ENVIRONMENT. AND THEN HERE'S THE REAL KICKER. THE PFAS GETS SEQUESTERED IN THIS. WE'RE WORKING WITH THE LARGE CEMENT KILNS IN SOUTH FLORIDA TO USE THIS PRODUCT TO DISPLACE THE USE OF COAL IN THOSE CEMENT KILNS AND DESTROY PFOS. SO NOW THE CONCRETE USED TO BUILD ALL THE BEAUTIFUL NEW BUILDINGS IN FLORIDA WILL USE LESS CARBON INTENSITY THAN BEFORE, BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING RID OF COAL AND USING THIS PRODUCT AND KEEPING THOSE NUTRIENTS OUT OF YOUR WATERSHEDS, WHICH IS SUPER EXCITING. YOU GO LAKE OKEECHOBEE, YOU WON'T HAVE ALGAE BLOOMS. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE ALSO MAKE A CONCENTRATED PRECISION NITROGEN FERTILIZER.

AND THIS PRODUCT ALLOWS THE GROWERS IN FLORIDA TO STILL HAVE VIABLE FERTILIZER. BUT IT'S PRECISION. IT'S NOT LEACHING INTO THE WATERWAYS. NOW I WANT TO WALK THROUGH EXAMPLE SETS.

ALTHOUGH THIS IS NEW INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, IT'S PROVEN. SO WE'VE HAD SYSTEMS RUNNING ACROSS VARIOUS STATES. HERE'S ONE ON A LARGE DAIRY IN INDIANA. HERE'S ONE IN SEATTLE RUNNING HUMAN BIOSOLIDS. THIS HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE 2022. GORGEOUS SIGHT. ACTUALLY, SOME OF THE TOWN MEMBERS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN TO THE SITE AND SEEN IT. IT'S A PHENOMENAL SITE. IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY BIOSOLID SITES YOU CAN GO TO IN YOUR CHURCH SHOES. SO IT'S GORGEOUS. SORRY, THIS HERE IS ACTUALLY A PORTABLE SYSTEM THAT WENT TO THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS TO PROCESS RUM WASTE. THE TECHNOLOGY IS USEFUL ON A WIDE RANGE OF WASTE STREAMS, WHICH IS WHY IT'S SO IT'S QUITE REVOLUTIONARY IN THIS SPACE. AND THEN HERE'S A MASSIVE SYSTEM IN INDIANA PROCESSING THE WASTE FROM 20,000 COWS. AND HERE'S ANOTHER VERY LARGE SYSTEM UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN WISCONSIN FOR 12,000 COWS. IT'S A LOT OF COWS. NOW I WANT TO WALK THROUGH WHAT ARE WE DEVELOPING HERE IN FLORIDA? HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF THE SEATTLE SYSTEM. AND THIS IS A THIS PHOTO IS ABOUT A YEAR OLD NOW. AND I'LL EXPLAIN JUST WHY IN A MOMENT. THIS TAKES BIOSOLIDS WHICH ARE THE RESIDUALS FROM WASTEWATER PLANTS. AND SEPTAGE AND PROVIDES A DISPOSAL OPTION FOR WASTEWATER PLANTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA. IT'S LOWER COST THAN WHAT PEOPLE IN SEATTLE ARE DOING NOW, AND THERE'S ZERO TAXPAYER INVESTMENT IN THIS. NO TAXPAYERS HAD TO PAY ANYTHING HERE, WHICH IS AN INCREDIBLE THING. PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT, EXTREMELY HIGH PAYING REGIONAL MANUFACTURING STYLE JOBS THAT WILL HAVE ON THE JOB TRAINING. SO WE HIRE PEOPLE FROM THE REGION. THEY COME TO THE SITE. THERE'S NO SCHOOL. THIS THING RIGHT HERE, YOU CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL TO RUN A CORE LIKE WE HAVE TO TRAIN PEOPLE FOR THIS. SO THAT ALLOWS US TO RECRUIT FROM THE LOCAL TALENT POOL. AND THAT'S ONE WE DID TREMENDOUS ROADSIDE IMPROVEMENTS IN BUILDING THIS, THIS SITE BEFORE WE FOUND IT WAS ACTUALLY AN OLD TRUCK YARD. AND WE IMPROVED. IT DID FULL LANDSCAPING ALONG THE ROAD. SO IT'S A GORGEOUS SITE. THIS WAS NOT REQUIRED BY OUR PERMITS. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING WE DID AS BEING A GOOD COMMUNITY MEMBER. ALL OF OUR PROJECTS WE OWN AND OPERATE FOR 20 TO 40 YEARS. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS, IS WE HAVE TO BE A GOOD MEMBER

[00:30:02]

[00:35:01]

THIS CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING HERE ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I HAVE THE SPEAKERS, IS MORE THAN 60DB.

SO IT'S A NORMAL CONVERSATION LEVEL, WHICH IS ACTUALLY PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN TO THE SITE CAN ATTEST. IT'S VERY, VERY QUIET. AND WHAT ABOUT PERMITS AND STUDIES AND THAT SORT OF WORK? THE PROJECT HAS TO COMPLY WITH STATE AND FEDERAL AND LOCAL PERMITS, WHETHER THAT'S BIOSOLIDS, AIR, CIVIL STORM WATER, DRAINAGE, ETC. ALL OF THOSE PERMITS, WE HAVE TO HAVE TO COMPLY TO. AND IF WE'RE OUT OF THOSE PERMIT COMPLIANCE, WE HAVE TO GET BACK BACK INTO THEM AGAIN. I'LL REITERATE WHAT I SAID EARLIER. EXTENSIVE TESTING THAT'S BEEN DONE ON DIFFERENT FEEDSTOCKS, DIFFERENT STREAMS, TO ENSURE THAT THE TECHNOLOGIES ARE PUT TOGETHER HERE WORK.

THEY'VE WORKED IN SEATTLE, BUT THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO WORK HERE BECAUSE WE'VE DONE TESTING ON FLORIDA SPECIFIC WASTE STREAMS. SO THAT'S AN IMPORTANT NOTE. BUT WHAT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM? WHAT DO YOU DO? ALL THESE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE AND WE'RE RUNNING AND THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG. WE WILL HAVE A DEDICATED WEBSITE FOR THIS PROJECT WITH A DEDICATED 24 OVER SEVEN PHONE NUMBER THAT WILL RING TO A PERSON AT THE SITE WHO WILL PICK UP AND ANSWER IT. IF IT'S A HOLIDAY AND IT'S NOT RUNNING, THAT WILL RING TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL RING TO MY PHONE NUMBER AND I WILL GET ON TOP OF IT, AND WE WILL SOLVE WHATEVER PROBLEM THAT IS. THIS SITE WILL ALSO ALLOW YOU TO ASK US QUESTIONS IF YOU JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE SITE. HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON? WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT THROUGH THIS WEBSITE. IT'S DYNAMIC. THIS WAS VERY POPULAR IN SEATTLE AND WE WERE PLANNING ON DOING THE SAME THING HERE. COOL. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN REALLY FOR INDIAN TOWN? WELL, IT'S A NEWER LOW COST LOCATION FOR BIOSOLIDS DISPOSAL, PROVEN OPERATIONS, OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF STATE, FULLY PERMITTED. OUT OF STATE. RIGHT, NO PUBLIC INVESTMENT. THIS IS ACTUALLY A REVENUE CREATOR FOR THE CITY IN ADDITION TO THE LEASE, WHICH IF YOU ACTUALLY ADDED UP, THAT'S LIKE $5 MILLION ON THAT LEASE THAT WE'RE SIGNING UP TO AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE TAX BASE RIGHT? THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO COST TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BUILD. AND THAT'S ALL PROPERTY TAX, RIGHT? THAT GOES INTO THE CITY, AGAIN, PRIVATELY FUNDED, HIGH PAYING JOBS. THESE ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD JOBS. AND OF COURSE, RENEWABLE NITROGEN FERTILIZER AND FUEL FOR CEMENT KILNS. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY, AS HE MENTIONED, FOR OVER A YEAR ON THIS. WE THINK IT'S A PERFECT SPOT AND WE'RE JUST EXCITED TO KIND OF START THE JOURNEY OF BEING A CONSTRUCTIVE MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY HERE AS WE BUILD THIS OUT. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO ANY COMMENTS THAT PEOPLE HAVE OR ANY QUESTIONS THEY HAVE, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN DIVE IN. THANK YOU GUYS. SO MUCH. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. SO YOU SAID THAT BUSINESS HOURS, CONSTRUCTION TIME, YOUR BUSINESS HOURS 8 TO 5, 9 TO 5. SO GENERALLY WE DO AN 8 TO 5 SORT OF SORT OF CONSTRUCTION DURING CONSTRUCTION HOURS. OKAY, THE GOAL IS, IS IF THERE IS TO NOT ACTUALLY BE OUTSIDE OF THAT TIME FRAME. SO THAT'S A FAIRLY STANDARD WORKING HOURS. SO TALKING TO RESIDENTS, BECAUSE I DO HAVE LIKE FAMILY FRIENDS THAT LIVE ON FIRST STREET, WHICH IS THE STREET RIGHT IN FRONT OF WHERE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO, THE PROJECT, CURRENTLY THE SMELL IS VERY BAD. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO DURING THE PROCESS WHILE BEFORE, LIKE BEFORE YOU GUYS ARE SETTING UP THAT CAN PREVENT AND HELP? ALLEVIATE THAT PROBLEM IN REGARDS OF THE SMELL, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SAID THAT IT'S I WENT THERE SATURDAY AND IT WAS BAD. SO, SO I KNOW THIS IS I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A VILLAGE TOWN QUESTION OR BECAUSE WE SIGNED THE LEASE TODAY. YOU YOU GUYS CAN COME IN AND BE THE GOOD NEIGHBORS AND TRY TO HELP, MAKE A SOLUTION IN REGARDS OF THAT, BECAUSE THE SMELL IS VERY BAD. AND I KNOW THERE WAS ONE RESIDENT THAT I TALKED TO THAT I'VE KNOWN HIM ALMOST ALL MY LIFE AND HE WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE HE WAS LIKE, YEAH, IT'S BAD. SO, MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS THAT THERE WAS PREVIOUSLY AN ODOR ISSUE AT THE EXISTING WASTEWATER PLANT, SO WE HAVEN'T BUILT ANYTHING YET. WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY HERE YET. SO I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT NOTE IS THAT THOSE ODORS ARE NOT FROM US. MY UNDERSTANDING IS, IS THAT CORRECT? PLANT IS GOING THROUGH SOME UPGRADES. ONE THING WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT I ACTUALLY DIDN'T MENTION HERE THAT I'LL REITERATE IN THIS UPGRADE WE WILL BE BUILDING NEXT TO THE PLANT. THE REASON WE'RE BUILDING NEXT TO THE PLANT IS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE PLANTS BIOSOLIDS.

[00:40:01]

THAT'S HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO BUILD A NEW PLANT. SO YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE PLANT THAT WE'RE OPERATING IS BARELY OPERATING ON. IT'S ON A GOOD DAY. SO THAT'S WHERE THE ODORS ARE COMING FROM. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE ODORS BECAUSE IT IS A WASTEWATER PLANT, BUT WE ARE BEST TO MINIMIZE THE ODORS. BUT THAT BRINGS US TO WHAT WILL CEDRON BRING TO THE VILLAGE. SO TO ONE OF THOSE POINTS IS THE DIGESTER THAT WE HAVE WILL NOT HAVE TO BE SO BIG, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO SIT ON OUR WASTE FOR THREE MONTHS, BECAUSE THAT'S PRESENTLY HOW WE'RE DOING IT, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE HAVE TO DO IT, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WASTE TO CALL IN THE HAULER BECAUSE WE CONTRACT WITH A CONTRACTOR TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BIOSOLIDS. NOW WE HAVE TO DE-WATER IT, AND WE NEED TO HAVE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO COME IN AND DO IT. SO THAT'S WHY WE DO IT EVERY THREE MONTHS. SO THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU HAVE A DIGESTER SITTING THERE, WHAT IS HAPPENING IS WE PUT WASTE INTO THE DIGESTER AND THEN WE AERATE IT.

BUT IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO BREAK DOWN AND STABILIZE. SO THAT'S WHERE THE ODORS COME FRO.

IF CEDRON IS SITTING NEXT TO OUR PLANT, WE WILL ALMOST BE ABLE TO GET RID OF OUR BIOSOLIDS AT WILL. SO WE WON'T. WE WILL HAVE A DIGESTER BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STORE IT, BUT IT WON'T BE NEARLY AS BIG AS THE DIGESTER WE HAVE NOW, AND WE WILL NOT BE SITTING ON IT FOR THREE MONTHS. SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO PUT IT OVER INTO THEIR PLANT AND TAKE CARE OF IT, AND IT WILL MINIMIZE ODORS. AGAIN, IT'S A WASTEWATER PLANT, SO IT'S GOING TO HAVE ODORS. BUT WE'RE WORKING EVERY DAY TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. BUT A LOT OF IT DOES COME FROM THE DIGESTER. SO IN THE BIGGER PICTURE HAVING THEIR PLANT NEXT TO OURS WILL BE NOTHING BUT AN IMPROVEMENT TO OUR OPERATION. AND THEN IF YOU LOOKED AT SOME OF THE PICTURES THAT THEY HAD, THEY HAVE A NICE LOOKING BUILDING. THEY LANDSCAPED IT. NOW JUST IMAGINE OUR WASTEWATER PLANT RIGHT NEXT TO THEIR BUILDING. WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO THE SAME THING WHEN THIS PROJECT IS DONE. AND THEY HAVE THEIR NEW BUILDING, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR NEW PLANT. THE GOAL WILL BE TO HAVE OUR NEW PLANT LOOK AS NICE OR MAYBE BETTER THAN THEIR PLANT, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO HAVE OUR PLANT LOOK AS GOOD AS IT CAN, BECAUSE YOU WANT IT TO OPERATE AS GOOD AS IT CAN AS WELL. SO THAT IS MY GOAL WITH THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT CEDRON, NUMBER ONE WAS, I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET RID OF BIOSOLIDS. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 25 YEARS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME OF MY CAREER AND IT HAPPENS CURRENTLY. IT HAPPENS NOT JUST HERE IN INDIANTOWN. I SEE ALL DAY EVERY DAY, TRUCKS GOING ALL THE WAY TO OKEECHOBEE, TO THE LANDFILL. EXACTLY. I KNOW IT HAPPENS. SO I'M NOT DISCREDITING THAT. I'M JUST TRYING TO GET THE

[00:45:05]

AND MR. MR. DEL CARPIO OWES US A PERUVIAN MEAL OF SOME SORT. OH, YES. YES, WE DID HAVE A DEAL THAT WHEN WE CLOSED THE DOCUMENT THERE WILL BE A PERUVIAN DINNER INVOLVED. OH, WELL, MAKE SURE YOU GET A CHICHA MORADA BECAUSE. YEAH. PROVE YOU CAN DRINK. THANK YOU, AND JUST TO END MY COMMENTS, YOU KNOW, CURRENTLY HOW THE VILLAGE IS RUNNING, WE LIKE MR. PAT NOLAN HAS STATED THAT WE TAKE, WE STAND OR WE KEEP OUR, OUR. YES, BIOSOLIDS HERE FOR A WHILE. AND THEN ONCE WE ACCUMULATE AND WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN TRANSPORT IT TO THE LANDFILL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S COSTING US, THAT'S JUST SITTING THERE. AND SO THIS IS GOING TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE EASIER FOR OUR WATER. COMPANY, OUR WATER GUYS, BECAUSE IT'S NOT THEY'LL BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOU GUYS. SO, WELL, I'M EXCITED FOR WHAT'S TO COME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ONE THING I'LL SAY, IF ONLY TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD A LITTLE BIT. BIOSOLIDS ARE NOT LIKE WINE.

THEY DON'T GET BETTER AS YOU LET THEM AGE. THEY'RE A BIT LIKE MILK. SO, LIKE, THE SOONER YOU GET THEM OUT, THE BETTER. SO SORRY TO MAKE A FOOD REFERENCE, BUT WE GOT TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD A LITTLE BIT. AND TO KIND OF SPEAK TO THAT REAL QUICKLY. MR. NOLAN, IN THE MEANTIME, THE VILLAGE IS BEING PROACTIVE IN DEALING WITH THAT FAILING PLANT, BEAVER WORKS. WE DO HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE. YES. WE BROUGHT IN SOME ALTERNATIVE ALTERNATE TECHNOLOGY TO TRY TO OPERATE THAT PLANT AS WE DID AT THE WATER PLANT. AND LIKE I SAID, I'VE MENTIONED IVAN BEFORE. IVAN

[00:50:04]

OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER, GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR, THE PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU ALL, I JUST GOT EVERYTHING. ALL MY QUESTIONS WAS ANSWERED, YOU DID TALK ABOUT EMPLOYMENT. WE LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THE SAME THING. I JUST WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR. TO HAVE A YOU GAVE SPECIFICS, 15 TO 30 EMPLOYMENT SPOTS, RIGHT? IS THAT ALL MALE OR MALE? AND FEMALE? IT'S MALE AND FEMALE. WE IN OUR SEATTLE SITE, WE HAVE MALE, FEMALE, WIDE RANGE OF AGES. OKAY SO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO ANYTHING. IT'S ARE YOU HARD WORKING? DO YOU WANT TO LEARN AND DO YOU WANT TO SHOW UP TO WORK? I MEAN, THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT I MEAN. IT'S AND WE PROVIDE THE TRAINING. OKAY. SO THEY, THERE'S NO PARTICULAR SKILL SET THAT THEY NEED TO BRING. THERE'S A WIDE RANGE OF THOSE AREN'T 15 IDENTICAL PEOPLE, RIGHT. THERE'S GOING TO BE A RANGE OF PEOPLE.

RIGHT. SO OFFICE PERSONNEL, THERE'S AN OFFICE PERSON. RIGHT. THERE'S GOING TO BE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIANS. THERE'S GOING TO BE OPERATORS. RIGHT. AND EACH ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE DIFFERENT SHIFTS, RIGHT. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. THERE'S A WEEKEND SHIFT.

THERE'S A DAY SHIFT, RIGHT. THERE'S A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT, TYPES OF EMPLOYEES, DIFFERENT SKILL SETS. RIGHT. SO IF YOU'RE IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE AS A DIESEL MECHANIC, YOU MAY BE ON A MECHANIC ROLE, RIGHT? WHEREAS IF YOU HAVE AN OPERATOR TYPE ROLE ON A, ON AN EQUIPMENT OR SOME OTHER KIND OF EXPERIENCE, THEN YOU MAY BE IN A DIFFERENT ROLE. OR IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE, WELL THEN WE'LL FIND A ROLE FOR YOU AND FIGURE OUT THERE'S JUST IF YOU WERE TO GO ONTO OUR SITE AND SEE, YOU'LL SEE THERE'S A WIDE RANGE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE. OKAY OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OF COURSE, ONE THING I ALSO WANT TO ADD TO THAT JUST JUST REAL BRIEFLY. OUR OTHER COMPANY, JANICKI INDUSTRIES, DOES LARGE SCALE AEROSPACE. RIGHT. AND WE'RE IN A TOWN THAT'S NOT DISSIMILAR. IT'S ACTUALLY SMALLER THAN INDIAN TOWN IN WASHINGTON STATE, TWO HOURS OUTSIDE OF SEATTLE. THERE IS NO COLLEGE IN TOWN, RIGHT? THERE'S NO SCHOOL TO BUILD STEALTH BOMBERS. RIGHT. AND SO WHAT WE DO IS WE ACTUALLY HIRE FROM THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL, AND WE TAKE PEOPLE IN AND WE TRAIN THEM UP. IT'S ACTUALLY GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE SPACEX FAVORITE PERSON TO RECRUIT FROM IS FROM JANICKI INDUSTRIES. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE A REAL ATTRITION PROBLEM TO THOSE VERY FAMOUS FIRMS FROM OUR TRAINING PROGRAM.

AND COMPOSITES IS SO GOOD. RIGHT. AND OUR GOAL HERE IS, IS TO BUILD SOMETHING SIMILAR. AS WE BUILD OUT THIS PROJECT, WE BUILD OUT OTHER PROJECTS IN FLORIDA. RIGHT. OUR GOAL IS NOT TO DO ONE PROJECT IN FLORIDA, RIGHT? IT'S TO BUILD THIS PROJECT IS TO GO TO MIAMI. IT'S TO BUILD ONE THERE. BROWARD, TALLAHASSEE OR ALL THE WAY UP NORTH STATE, ORLANDO. AND AS BEING THE FIRST OPERATIONAL SITE. RIGHT. THIS BECOMES THE TRAINING GROUND WHERE WE CAN GROW TALENT FOR THESE OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL. SO IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT. HOW MANY SHIFTS, SORRY, HOW MANY SHIFTS WILL THIS HAVE. SO THE PROJECT THE MACHINE ITSELF RUNS 24 OVER SEVEN. THE MAJORITY OF THE TRUCKS THAT WILL SHOW UP ARE DURING BUSINESS HOURS. RIGHT? OKAY. AND THAT WAS THAT WAS MY QUESTION. 24 SEVEN. HOW MANY HOURS A DAY? OKAY. SO ALSO IN YOUR PRESENTATION, TALKING ABOUT THOSE SOLIDS, IT SHOWED AN OUTSIDE LIFT DROPPING, YOU KNOW, OH, THAT'S A VISUAL FROM A PROJECT IN WISCONSIN. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE IT.

OKAY. NOW THAT'S THAT'S THE COWS. CORRECT THAT'S THE COWS. I DIDN'T HAVE A VISUAL BECAUSE IT WASN'T LIKE, NICELY LIT UP WITH THE BIOSOLIDS ACTUALLY COME OUT. THIS IS CRITICAL ON ODOR. THE BIOSOLIDS COME OUT OF THE MACHINE ON A CONVEYOR BELT JUST LIKE THAT. BUT IT'S INSIDE A BUILDING. AND THAT BUILDING IS SEALED AND IT GOES DIRECTLY INTO A TRAILER. AND BEFORE WE TAKE THE TRAILER OUT OF THAT ROOM, WE SEAL IT WITH THE TARP. SO YOU'RE NOT GETTING BIOSOLIDS BLOWN ONTO THE ROAD. THE FINAL DRY PRODUCT WE MAKE IS HIGHLY CONCENTRATED, GOES INTO A TRACTOR TRAILER THAT'S SEALED BEFORE IT LEAVES THE SITE IN A SEALED ROOM. RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE PUBLIC REALIZE THAT AND KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU SEE THAT VISUAL. AND THAT'S WHY, OH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT STICKS IN EVERYBODY'S MIND. BUT THAT IS NOT THIS TYPE OF PLANT THAT IS NOT THIS, THAT WAS A PHENOMENAL COMMENT. AND I RECOGNIZE IN RETROSPECT, I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF INSIDE THE BUILDING IN SEATTLE, BECAUSE I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BEEN TO THAT SITE THAT THAT IMAGE YOU SAW IS IN GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN, ON A DAIRY FARM, ON A DAIRY. BUT THE PRODUCT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME. SO THAT'S NOT HANDLED THE SAME WAY. IT'S NOT HANDLED THE SAME WAY. EXACTLY. EXACTLY. THAT'S A GOOD THAT'S A GOOD NOTE. THAT'S A GOOD FACT.

YEAH. OUT THERE I'M WRITING NOTES ON MY, MY POWERPOINT DECK. SO THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER DEPAULO DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? I CAN'T SEE A HAND OR. YEAH. LET ME GET ON HERE, NO, I JUST WANT

[00:55:03]

NO PROBLEM WITH THE ODOR. I DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ODOR. AND THERE WERE TRUCKS THAT WERE DUMPING WHEN I WAS THERE AND STANDING AT THE GATE, AND I COULDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. I THINK, THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD WITH SAID RON. AND THE JANICKI FAMILY, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, HOPEFULLY. AND, BOTH OF THEIR BOTH OF THEIR OPERATIONS, THEIR AEROSPACE. I WAS IMPRESSED VERY IMPRESSED. SO I THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING A PARTNER WITH WITH INDIANTOWN. AND ON THAT NOTE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LEASE. OKAY.

WELL, YES, WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. I THINK I HEARD COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER FIRST. SO WE HAVE A MOTION FROM DEPAULO. A SECOND FROM FROM COUNCIL MEMBER PAUL.

PALMER. SORRY. VICE MAYOR, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? OKAY. IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS? YES, MA'AM. WE HAVE MISS PHYLLIS WATERS BROWN. OKAY. THANK YOU. I WAS THAT TALL. GOOD EVENING AGAIN, PHYLLIS WATERS BROWN. FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, SAFETY AND HEALTH WISE, HISTORICALLY, MOST PLANTS OF THIS TYPE OR ANYTHING UNDESIRABLE IS ALWAYS PUT IN A MINORITY NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT THAT PART IS A FACT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY, SINCE WE'VE ALREADY FIRST AND SECOND THE LEASE. WHEN YOU COME IN AS A GOOD NEIGHBOR, WHEN YOU COME IN TO BOOK A PARK ACROSS THE TRACK, YOU'RE COMING FROM WARFIELD, ACROSS THE TRACK, AND YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE A LEFT ONTO RAILROAD AVENUE WHEN IF YOU'RE COMING, FROM TOWN, YOU'RE YOU HAVE A TURNING LANE, BUT ONLY ABOUT TWO TRUCKS CAN FIT IN THAT TURNING LANE. WHAT HAPPENS? ONE, IF THERE'S A TRAIN SITTING ON THE TRACK? TWO WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S ANOTHER TRUCK TRYING TO COME OUT AND MORE TRAFFIC WANTS TO COME IN? WHERE DO THEY GO, THEIR TRUCKS ARE HEAVY. 30 TO 50 TRUCKS A DAY. EVERY DAY IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC. RAILROAD AVENUE IS ONLY SO BIG. WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO FOR, YOU KNOW, AS I ASSUME YOU'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THE ENTRANCEWAY IN THE ROADWAY FOR COMING IN? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR RAILROAD AVENUE? IF YOU'RE COMING FROM OKEECHOBEE, THERE IS NO TURNING LANE, SO THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY'RE ABLE TO TURN. SO WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE TRAFFIC ON FOR THE SAFETY REASONS ON WARFIELD AND WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ENTRANCEWAY COMING INTO OUR FRONT DOOR? THAT'S OUR FRONT ENTRANCE. SO WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT? I THINK THAT'S OH, ANOTHER ONE. DO WE HAVE AN OPTION FOR ANOTHER LOCATION, FOR AS FOR IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IT THERE, CAN YOU FIND A WAY TO COME ACROSS FROM WARFIELD ON DIRECTLY THERE AND NOT COME THROUGH OUR FRONT DOOR? WE'LL OPEN THE SIDE DOOR FOR YOU IF YOU CAN COME THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAY I SPEAK? ABSOLUTELY. PLEASE SO THANK YOU FOR ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS. I ACTUALLY THINK GOOD, GOOD QUESTIONS. SO, REAL QUICK I'D ACTUALLY ADDRESS TWO OF THEM. SO MY, MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE TWO OF THEM IS HOW ARE WE GOING TO ACTUALLY DEAL WITH THE LOGISTICS OF THE TRAFFIC LEAVING THE BEELINE HIGHWAY ONTO THE RAILROAD AND ONTO OUR SITE? AND THEN ALSO IS THERE SOME OTHER WAY WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT? SO OUR INTENT IS TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON A TRAFFIC STUDY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID IN THE SEATTLE PROJECT, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT IN THAT THAT VISUAL. THERE'S A THERE WAS A CONCERN ON A SIMILAR ISSUE. WE WORKED WITH THE CITY AND DESIGNED AN APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC STUDY TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER ISSUES WERE MITIGATED RELATED TO A TURN LANE, ETC. WE WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULD WORK WITH THE VILLAGE ON ON SUCH A TRAFFIC STUDY AS WE AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THIS PROJECT TO MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD. ONE OTHER THING WE DISCUSSED IS MAKING SURE THAT IF THERE IS A TRAIN THAT'S BLOCKING THAT ROAD, THAT

[01:00:01]

AND AT THE SAME TIME I WAS HAVING DIALOG WITH CSX ON SOME OTHER CONCERNS THAT MISS BROWN HAS BROUGHT UP SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, AND SO I ASKED THEM IF WE COULD GET ANOTHER CROSSING FOR AN ENTRANCE FOR THIS. AND THEY SAID THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY WOULD GIVE US ANOTHER CROSSING IS IF THE COUNTY WOULD CLOSE THREE, THREE FOR ONE, THREE FOR ONE. YEAH. AND, AND I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I KNOW MARTIN COUNTY WELL, THE COUNTY YOU'D HAVE TO CLOSE THREE SOMEWHERE IN MARTIN COUNT.

WOW. YEAH. AND SO AND THEN I ALSO ASKED HIM ABOUT USING THE, THEIR RIGHT OF WAY TO THE EAST AND HE SAID THEY DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE, THAT THEY, USED TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS WITH MUNICIPALITIES FOR THE RIGHT OF WAY, USE OF RIGHT OF WAYS. BUT THEN WHEN THEY WANTED IT TO USE IT BACK, WHATEVER THE MUNICIPALITY PUT IN THE RIGHT OF WAY HAD TO BE TORN DOWN. AND THEN THEY HAVE THE BAD BLACK EYE, YOU KNOW, MUNICIPALITIES THEN UPSET. SO HE SAID, THEY JUST DON'T THEY DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. SO WE TRIED. YEAH, WE TRIED. I GOT ONE MINUTE AND 50S I'M GOING TO USE IT. OH I WAS COMING DOWN RAILROAD TOWARD MARTIN LUTHER ON YESTERDAY. I THINK IT WAS. THERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER COMING IN TO GO TO THE TRUCK YARD. I'M SITTING THERE TO TURN RIGHT. HE COULD NOT TURN ON RAILROAD BECAUSE I'M IN THE WAY. SO DO WE HAVE SPACE TO WIDEN AND THICKEN THE ROAD FOR BIGGER TRUCKS, HEAVIER TRUCKS THAN WHAT'S COMING NOW? I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF TRUCK TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE ALREADY. NOW WE'RE ADDING 30 TO 50 MORE TRUCKS EVERY DAY. SO WHERE IS THE LAND COMING FROM? AND ARE WE GOING TO STILL HAVE OUR SIDEWALKS? OKAY. NO ANSWER. THANK YOU. WELL MY TIME IS UP BY. YEAH. GOT TO GIVE SOMEBODY A CHANCE. YOU ALREADY SPOKE TO SIDEWALKS AND STUDIES, AND I THINK I WOULD JUST REITERATE WHAT I SAID BEFORE, THAT THE GOAL WOULD BE TO DO AN APPROPRIATE STUDY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, WHATEVER ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS ON RAILROAD AVE TO GET TO MODERN STANDARDS FOR SUCH A NUMBER OF VEHICLES AT A WEIGHT. I WILL SAY THESE TRUCKS ARE I HAVE TO GO ON ROADS ACROSS THE STATE, SO THEY'RE NOT LIKELY HEAVIER THAN WHAT'S GOING TO THE TRUCK YARDS ALREADY. THE GOAL IS AGAIN TO THE PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS AND ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT. AND I THINK WE DEMONSTRATED THAT WITH OUR SEATTLE PROJECT. LIKE IF YOU LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPING AND ALL OF THAT, WE DID A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN WAS REQUIRED BY THE PERMITS, AND WE WOULD WANT TO DO THE SAME THING HERE. AND AGAIN, APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC STUDIES IS AND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS IS ALL WE CAN DO, AND AGAIN, I THINK IT'S STILL A POSITIVE IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY. WOULD BEFORE, SORRY, WOULD THAT STUDY COME TO THE COUNCIL OR WOULD IT GO TO STAFF OR HOW WOULD THAT HAPPEN? LIKE JUST WELL, FOR THE APPROVAL PROCESS, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH IT, WE CAN BRING IT TO COUNCIL. IF COUNCIL WANTS, WANTS IT TO COME HERE, WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. THE MORE WE CAN EDUCATE THE COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC ON, ON, IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING MADE. I LIKE THE IDEA OF WIDENING THE ROAD, BUT I ALSO HAVE THE CONCERNS OF THE SIDEWALKS. BUT THEN THERE'S SOME SIDEWALKS THAT POSSIBLY WE COULD PUT IN IN ADDITION TO WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, LOOKING AT THIS AREA, ONCE WE REALLY GET GOING, I THINK WE'LL BE MAKING SOME IMPROVEMENTS FOR SURE. OKAY. YEAH. I REALLY THINK THAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD REALLY LIKE THE, THE SURVEY TO COME HERE SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE AT LEAST AN INPUT IN REGARDS TO WIDENING IT.

SURE. WE'VE EVEN TALKED WITH THE TEAM ABOUT ONCE THEY START CLEARING THAT PARCEL, HAVING AN OPEN FORUM FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO COME IN, YOU KNOW, HAMBURGERS, HOT DOGS, SOMETHING.

GET THE SHERIFF'S FOLKS INVOLVED AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. BEGIN THAT RELATIONSHIP SO THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, LIKE STANLEY SAID, THEY WANT TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

AND IF THEY'VE GOT BAD ACTORS, THEY FIRE THEM. THEY DON'T WANT THEM, YOU KNOW? SO HE'S GOT A REPUTATION TO MAINTAIN. AND THE PLANT, WHEN WE WENT OUT THERE AND ALL THE PLANTS THAT, HIS DAD

[01:05:05]

SOME WOULD HAVE TAKEN I 75 I 95 441. SO I THINK WE WILL BE ATTRACTING MORE TRUCK TRAFFIC, WHERE IS THE STORAGE GOING TO BE FOR THIS NITROGEN FERTILIZER, WHICH IS EXPLOSIVE? AND THAT PROVIDE THAT? I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ON SITE, BUT I'D KIND OF LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE STOCKPILED UNTIL IT IS SOLD. I THE HOURS OF OPERATION WERE GIVEN AT 24 SEVEN. DOES THAT MEAN TRUCKS WILL BE COMING IN 24 SEVEN, AND ONE POSSIBLE RESOLUTION TO ANY BACKUP OF TRAFFIC AT THE MLK, CROSSING, THERE IS THERE IS SPACE DOWN THERE. SO AN ELECTRIC PLANT JUST SOUTH OF THAT ENTRANCE, IF THERE COULD BE SOME TYPE OF A MONITOR THAT SAID TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP AT THIS INTERSECTION, BE IT BY TRAIN, WHATEVER. A LIGHT WHERE TRUCKERS COULD PULL OFF IN THERE AND WAIT UNTIL IT WAS ALL CLEAR, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED WITH THE PEOPLE THAT OWN THAT. BUT I GOT IT ALL IN IN THREE MINUTES BY. THANK YOU. MA'AM. YES PLEASE. THE QUESTIONS OUT THERE RESPONSE IS NEEDED. FIRST OFF, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS. THEY'RE THEY'RE ACTUALLY THINGS I WANTED TO COVER. I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO CLUTTER MY SLIDE DECK WITH SO MANY MORE TOPICS. SO THESE ARE ALL LIKE THEY WERE ON MY LIST OF THINGS I WANTED TO COVER. SO, ONE THING I WANT TO NOTE ON FROM AN EXHAUST STANDPOINT, AND I'LL JUST REITERATE WHEN THE, WHEN WE EVAPORATE THE WATER OUT OF THESE BIOSOLIDS, WE ACTUALLY TAKE THAT STEAM AND WE CONDENSE IT, WE RECAPTURE IT AND IN DOING SO, WE CAPTURE ANY ODORS OR EXHAUST THAT COME OFF OF THAT, AND THEN THAT CONCENTRATED STREAM GOES INTO THE AIR PERMIT SETUP THAT WE'VE DESIGNED. SO THE AIR PERMIT IS ACTUALLY DONE BY FLORIDA DEP. THE STATE LEVEL REQUIRES THE AIR PERMIT AND IT GOES THROUGH AND IT WALKS THROUGH THE REQUIREMENTS. THE WAY THAT YOU GET AN AIR PERMIT IS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO IT.

AGAIN, A CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF ANYTHING THAT COULD BE IN THIS EXHAUST STREAM. AND THEN YOU DESIGN WITH AN APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING FIRM. WE HAVE ENGINEERS, CHEMICAL ENGINEERS AND BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERS ON STAFF THAT MONITOR GROUP. I'M SORRY. I'M TRYING TO TRYING TO MAKE SURE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU TAKE THOSE, ENGINEERS, THEY DESIGN WHAT'S REFERRED TO AS A BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY. SO THIS IS A TECHNOLOGY THAT'S SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THOSE COMPOUNDS. AGAIN, WE MEASURED OUR ACTUAL WASTE STREAMS FROM CLIENTS HERE IN FLORIDA. AND THEN WE DESIGN A SYSTEM THAT SOLVES. SO YOU END UP WITH AN EXHAUST STREAM THAT'S LITERALLY JUST AIR. AND IT'S A SOLUTION THERE. SO THAT'S HOW WE SOLVE THAT PROBLEM, SALE OF THE

[01:10:02]

IT'S A WONDERFUL PATHOGEN FREE PRODUCT. IT'S CONCENTRATED. IT'S PRECISION APPLICATION. THAT PRODUCT WE'RE ACTUALLY PLANNING ON USING IN CEMENT KILNS. SO IT WILL GO FROM HERE TO A CEMENT KILN AND DISPLACE COAL. AND THEN IT'S COMBUSTED. AND ACTUALLY THE ASH ENDS UP IN THE CEMENT. SO IT'S GONE. RIGHT. SO WE REALLY SOLVE THAT ISSUE CLASS DOUBLE A OKAY. THANK YOU. OH OF COURSE, OF COURSE. SO THE NEXT QUESTION IS, NOT ALL THE TRUCKS WOULD GO ON 710. YOU ARE CORRECT THAT NOT ALL WE MAY INCREASE A NET NUMBER OF TRUCKS ON 710, BUT I THINK THE KEY POINT THERE IS THERE'S 13,500 VEHICLES THAT GO ON 710. SO OUR PERHAPS INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS, SAY 25 OF OUR 50 TRUCKS ARE INCREMENTAL, THAT'S NOT REALLY THE COMMUNITY IS NOT GOING TO NOTICE IT RELATIVE TO 13,500. IT'S FAIRLY DE MINIMIS. SO THE STORAGE OF THE NITROGEN FERTILIZER I WANT TO CLARIFY. SO NITROGEN FERTILIZER PEOPLE WHEN THEY THINK OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER THEY THINK OF LIKE AMMONIUM NITRATE PELLETS. THIS IS THE EXPLOSIVE PRODUCT THAT YOU SAW IN THE BEIRUT EXPLOSION, OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBINGS. THESE ARE EXPLOSIVE THINGS. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE PRODUCE. WE PRODUCE WHAT'S REFERRED TO AS AN AQUEOUS AMMONIA PRODUCT. THIS IS A DILUTE PRODUCT AND IS ABOUT AS EXPLOSIVE AS WINDEX, RIGHT? I'M SERIOUS. IT IS NOT AN EXPLOSIVE PRODUCT. IT'S DILUTE. IT'S NON-HAZARDOUS. IT'S EASY TO STORE. IT'S STORED ON SITE IN AN APPROPRIATELY PERMITTED STORAGE FACILITY WITH SECONDARY CONTAINMENT FOR NORMAL FERTILIZER STORAGE. IT'S IDENTICAL TO SYSTEMS WE BUILT IN SEATTLE. WE BUILT IN INDIANA. WE BUILT IN WISCONSIN. WE BUILT IN TEXAS. IT'S A STANDARD FERTILIZER STORAGE FACILITY FOR LIQUID NITROGEN FERTILIZER.

THAT'S 90% WATER. IT IS JUST NOT EXPLOSIVE. THANK YOU. IN THE TRUCKS. OH YEAH. NO, I'M JUST READING FROM MY NOTES HERE, YOU GOT A LOT OF REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS, SO I TOOK NOTES WHEN YOU WERE. WHEN YOU WERE TALKING, HOURS OF OPERATIONS. SO THE SYSTEM ITSELF RUNS INSIDE THE BUILDING, AROUND THE CLOCK. GENERALLY, TRUCKS ONLY SHOW UP DURING WORKING HOURS.

OCCASIONALLY, WE MAY END UP WITH A TRUCK THAT SHOWS UP A LITTLE EARLY OR A LITTLE BIT LATE. ONCE IN A WHILE, WE'LL GET A TRUCK ON A SATURDAY, BUT PRIMARILY IT'S BETWEEN 8 AND 5 IS WHEN WE GET TRUCKS. ONE THING THAT'S A MAJOR REQUIREMENT FOR US IS NO JAKE BREAK. IF WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S SITTING THERE DOING A JAKE BREAK ON MARTIN LUTHER KING, RIGHT. THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK. RIGHT? SO WE'RE WE'RE VERY MUCH ON TOP OF THAT. SO YOU CAN'T HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WAY. ONLINE MONITORING. SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE THIS IS EXCITING A ONLINE PORTAL THAT'S LIVE, THAT'S CONTROLLED BY THE PLANT THAT YOU CAN VIEW ON YOUR CELL PHONE ANYWHERE. THAT ALLOWS US TO GIVE INFORMATION TO DRIVERS TODAY. AND WE CAN ADD TO THAT PORTAL EASILY. WE ACTUALLY TOOK A NOTE ON IT THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHARE WITH THE ENGINEERS. WE CAN ACTUALLY ADD THAT, HEY, THAT INTERSECTION IS BLOCKED OR WHATEVER. SO PEOPLE KNOW THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU. I THINK I GOT ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. YOU GOT LESS THAN THREE MINUTES.

I THINK I TOOK MORE THAN THREE MINUTES. SO I'M SORRY. NO MORE QUESTIONS. MADAM MAYOR. WE DON'T HAVE. OH, JAKE BREAK. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE EVER HEARD ONE OF THOSE TRUCKS. AND IT GOES. WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA ON THE FREEWAY LIKE THAT'S A JAKE BRAKE. SORRY. I'M NOT A SOUND EFFECTS PERSON, BUT I'M TRYING. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? IT'S SO LOUD, LIKE. YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S NOT ALLOWED. YEAH I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN AT THE AT THE RED LIGHT. YEAH. SO, YEAH, IT HAPPENS. OKAY. WE HAVE, WE HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE A MOTION MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER DEPAULO. WE HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER PALMER. WE'VE HEARD ALL DISCUSSIONS AND OPINIONS. ALL IN FAVOR? I PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. THIS IS WHAT WE REALLY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH, WAS GETTING THE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC AND ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ITEMS THAT
