Background • Back in May 2023, TCCC/fairlife selected Webster for our new 785,000 sq.ft. facility, after an intensive, multi-state site selection search that spanned over 10 months • TCCC/fairlife selected Webster for several key reasons: o Favorable surrounding dairy environment o Local workforce/experience in manufacturing o Tebor Rd parcel characteristics and proximity to nearby roadways o Available utilities (inc. wastewater) o Timeline to approve and build the production facility o Town Board and the Town staff’s capability to manage a large-scale project • Since May, we have followed the Town of Webster’s rigorous development process, working with the 3 local Boards, resulting in submitting 20+ documents and responding to 200+ comments from Town, County and State level agencies

Noise
Description
Area
• The berm and fence placement and size minimizes line of sight to the facility • Existing and new evergreen and deciduous foliage will reduce the view of the fence from the neighbors' yards • The 14’ fence height keeps noise to less than a 5 dB(A) difference at the property line than current ambient noise and 15-25 dB(A) below the industrial zone noise ordinance
Lighting
Description • The lights are designed to be shorter than the height of the berm and wall to prevent spillage at the property line
• The precast concrete fence is decorative and designed in a pattern that absorbs and disperses sound Berm/Wall Design 6

Mitigation to the Neighbors & Local Community Acoustic Analysis
Summary of the Analysis A
Takeaways • fairlife will implement measures to limit the noise from the facility and truck movements to under 50 dB(A) at the property line during the nighttime (far less than the industrial zoning requirement). Measures include:
B
C
• 6’ landscaped earthen berm • 14’ tall fence on top of berm along County Line Road D
• Barrier wall around chillers
• Forward movement of trucks into scale & milk receiving buildings to minimize louder backing movements F
E
• Building located further to the west and south sides, away from the residential area
• Erect sound barrier wall west of loading docks • The noise at the property line is also expected to be within 5dB(A) of the current ambient noise level 7
