1. Introduction

Webster Solar Garden LLC proposes to build a photovoltaic (PV) solar facility in the Town of Webster under New York State’s distributed generation remote net crediting program. The Solar Facility is planned to have a nameplate capacity of approximately 5.0 megawatts (MW) alternating current (AC) and be built on approximately 19 acres, (of a larger 128-acre parcel), of private land owned by Xerox Corporation (the “Site”). This Decommissioning Plan (“Plan”) provides an overview of activities that will occur during the decommissioning phase of a Solar Facility, including activities related to the restoration of land, the management of materials and waste, projected costs, and a decommissioning fund agreement overview. The Solar Facility will have a maturity date of twenty-five (25) years, with the possibility of two five (5) year extensions, (“Project Maturity Date”). The Solar Facility has an estimated useful lifetime of 35 years. This Plan assumes that a Solar Facility will be dismantled and the Site restored to a state similar to its preconstruction condition at the Project Maturity Date. The Plan also covers the case of the abandonment of a Solar Facility, for any reason, prior to the Project Maturity Date. Decommissioning of the Solar Facility will include the disconnection of the Solar Facility from the electrical grid and the removal of all Solar Facility components, including: • Photovoltaic (PV) modules, panel racking and supports • Inverter units, medium voltage equipment, and other electrical equipment related to the Project • Conduit, wiring cables, communications equipment, Project-owned utility poles • Concrete foundations This decommissioning plan is based on current best management practices and procedures and may be subject to revision based on new standards and emergent best management practices at the time of decommissioning. Permits will be obtained as required and notification will be given to stakeholders prior to decommissioning.

3. General Decommissioning and Notification Process Prior to decommissioning, a Change in Use Notification will need to be filed with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), as this site has ongoing monitoring and oversight by the Department. Any considerations, means and/or methods recommended by NYSDEC at the time of decommissioning will be incorporated into the Decommissioning Plan. After the Change in Use Notification is reviewed and accepted by NYSDEC, all necessary permits for the dismantling of the System will be procured including building permits through the Town of Webster. At the time of decommissioning the installed components will be removed, reused, disposed of, and recycled, where possible. The Facility Site will be restored to a state similar to its pre-construction condition. All removal of equipment will be done in accordance with any applicable regulations and manufacturer recommendations.

3.1 Equipment Dismantling and Removal- Order of Operations: Generally, the decommissioning of a Solar Facility proceeds in the reverse order of the installation: 1. The Solar Facility shall be disconnected from the utility power grid. 2. PV modules shall be disconnected, collected, and disposed of at an approved solar module recycler or reused, where possible. 3. All aboveground and underground electrical interconnection and distribution cables shall be removed and disposed of off-site by an approved facility. 4. Galvanized steel PV module support and racking system support posts shall be removed and recycled by an approved facility. 5. Electrical and electronic devices, including transformers and inverters shall be removed and disposed of off-site by an approved facility. 6. Concrete foundations shall be broken up, removed and disposed of off-site. 7. Fencing is a requirement of the NYSDEC Site Closure Plan for this landfill cap located on this parcel. Array fencing will either remain intact, or be dismantled and disposed of. Should it be dismantled, in its place new fencing shall be installed directly around the capped landfill and per required by NYSDEC. 3.2 Environmental Effects Decommissioning activities, particularly the removal of project components could result in environmental effects like those of the construction phase. For example, there is the potential for disturbance (erosion/sedimentation/fuel spills) to adjacent watercourses or significant natural features. Mitigation measures like those employed during the construction phase of the Solar Facility will be implemented, with a SWPPP or Sediment and Erosion Control Plan submitted to the Town Engineer for review and approval. Such mitigation measures will remain in place until the site is stabilized to ensure any potential erosion, silt/sediment runoff, or other impacts to the Facility Site, or the significant natural resources located adjacent. Due to the environmental legacy of this site, any exposed soils during System Decommissioning will be tested by an environmental monitor. Soils will remain on site, where possible, or spoils will be appropriately recorded, removed, and disposed of. Road traffic will temporarily increase due to the movement of decommissioning crews and equipment along with an increase in particle matter (dust) in adjacent areas during the decommissioning phase. Decommissioning activities may lead to temporary elevated noise levels from heavy machinery and an increase in trips to 4

the project location. Work will be undertaken during daylight hours and conform to any applicable noise and work restrictions.

3.3 Site Restoration Through the decommissioning phase, the Facility Site will be restored to a state similar to its pre-construction condition. All project components (see Table 1) will be removed. Rehabilitated lands may be seeded with a low-growing species such as clover to help stabilize soil conditions, enhance soil structure, and increase soil fertility.

Means of Managing Excess Materials and Waste

PV panels

If there is no possibility for reuse, the panels will be transported off-site to be sent back to the manufacturer, recycled, reused, or safely disposed offsite in accordance with current standards and best practices. These materials will be recycled off-site at an approved facility; most metals have salvage value The small amount of oil from the transformers will be removed on-site to reduce the potential for spills and will be transported to an approved facility for disposal. The substation transformer and step-up transformers in the inverter units will be transported off-site to be sent back to the manufacturer, recycled, reused, or safely disposed off-site in accordance with current standards and best practices. The metal components of the inverters, fans and fixtures will be disposed of or recycled, where possible. Remaining components will be disposed of in accordance with the standards of the day. The material will be removed from the project location by truck to a location where the aggregate can be processed for salvage. It will then be reused as fill for construction. It is not expected that any such material will be contaminated, however all gravel sampling will occur prior to removal to ensure. Should contamination be found, gravel will be removed and disposed of offsite at an approved facility. Concrete foundations will be broken down and transported by certified and licensed contractors to a recycling or approved disposal facility. It will then be reused as fill for construction.

Debris

The electrical line that connects the substation to the point of common coupling will be disconnected and disposed of at an approved facility. Support poles, if made of untreated wood, will be chipped for reuse. Associated electronic equipment (isolation switches, fuses, metering) will be transported off-site to be sent back to the manufacturer, recycled, reused, or safely disposed off-site in accordance with current standards and best practices. Fencing is required to stay in place as the site is an area of ongoing environmental monitoring, per NYSDEC. Should fencing be removed, new fencing surrounding monitored area(s) would need to be reinstalled. Any remaining debris on the site will be separated into recyclables/residual wastes and will be transported from the site and managed as appropriate.

3.4 Managing Materials and Waste During the decommissioning phase a variety of excess materials and waste (listed in Table 1) will be generated. Most of the materials used in a Solar Facility are reusable or recyclable. Any remaining materials will be removed and disposed of off-site at an appropriate facility. Contractor will prioritizing local manufacturers, subcontractors, waste firms, and recycling facilities to segregate material to be disposed of, recycled, or reused. Webster Solar Garden LLC will be responsible for the logistics of collecting and recycling the PV modules and minimizing the potential for modules to be discarded in municipal waste stream. Due to a recent increase in the use of solar energy technology, many panels from a variety of projects will be nearing the end of their lifespan. It is anticipated there will be more recycling options available for solar modules at that time. Disposing of the solar modules will be done using best management practices at the time of decommissioning.

4. Costs of Decommissioning The costs below are the current estimated costs to decommission the Webster Solar Garden LLC Solar Facility. The salvage values of valuable recyclable materials (aluminum, steel, copper, etc) are not factored into the below costs. The scrap value will be determined on current market rates at the time of salvage.
