INTRODUCTION Overview Infrastructure Alternatives, Inc. (IAI) is a diverse company, providing multiple infrastructure-related services to municipal, industrial and private clients throughout the United States. A leading contractor in the contract operations, geotextile tube (Geotube ) dewatering and structures installation, contaminated sediment remediation, and hydraulic dredging, IAI provides value by offering the highest quality of services to our clients. We are experienced professionals, implementing innovative solutions, with integrity and a spirit of teamwork. INTRODUCTION Our Services IAI strives to find cost effective and innovative solutions to serve our customers needs in the following service areas. Our clients may select a turnkey project approach, utilizing a number of integrated services, or a single service, as the project may require. CONTRACT OPERATIONS SEDIMENT DEWATERING GEOTEXTILE TUBE STRUCTURES HYDRAULIC DREDGING Drinking water, domestic & industrial wastewater treatment Design engineering Licensed, experienced water & wastewater treatment operators and professional engineering staff NPDES permitting & reporting Technical assistance & troubleshooting Mechanical maintenance Capital improvements Geotextile tube dewatering Mechanical dewatering (belt press, plate & frame press, centrifuge) Contaminated sediment dewatering, biosolids and industrial process waste disposal Header system design & construction Treatability studies Full-scale pilot demonstrations On-site wastewater treatment Site design & preparation Pumping system design, construction & operation Geotextile tubes, scour apron and anchor tubes installation Both shoreline & in-water geotextile tube installation Environmental permitting Regulatory liaison Shoreline erosion control Wildlife habitat creation Navigational, maintenance & environmental dredging Hydrographic surveying Dredged material management Dredging with flow-through dewatering Contaminated sediment clean ups and environmental remediation Trucking & disposal of dewatered dredge spoils Permits & reporting Our unique combination of capabilities and experience allows us to tackle technically complex and challenging sediment dewatering and dredging projects with confidence. This blend of capabilities and experience, combined with an intense focus on the quality of our service and effective partnerships with our clients, makes Infrastructure Alternatives low risk project implementer. We are the type and size of company that is flexible and adaptable to the needs of our clients. We strive to meet those needs rather than offer a one size fits all approach. This philosophy is the cornerstone of our approach to each unique project. Statement of Qualifications 1

UNIQUE CAPABILITIES 2.8 million cubic yards dewatered in geotextile tubes 2.5 million cubic yards of contaminated sediment dewatered in geotextile tubes 485,000 lineal feet of geotextile tubes installed Up to 5,500 gallons per minute dredge flow dewatered in geotextile tubes Integrated Sediment Dewatering Services Infrastructure Alternatives offers turn-key sediment dewatering services with polymer addition, water treatment and final disposal. We specialize in geotextile tube (Geotube ) dewatering, particularly for the execution of environmental dredging and contaminated sediment clean up projects. Infrastructure Alternatives identity as both a dredging and sediment dewatering contractor affords us a unique perspective on dredging projects with sediment dewatering and water treatment components. Our personnel understand the importance of meeting dredge production targets as well as maximizing dewatering system performance, all while meeting water discharge permit limitations; and how to design, construct and operate systems that achieve all three of these objectives. UNIQUE CAPABILITIES Hold U.S. patent for hydraulic dredging and dewatering wastewater residuals in geotextile tubes (No. US 6,835,314 B2) Materials successfully dewatered in geotextile tubes: Marine sediments Biosolids Alum sludge Fly ash Pulp and paper waste Septage (gray water) Contaminants handled: PCBs Metals, including lead Radionuclides PAHs Coal tar pitch volatiles, including creosote Crude oil VOCs SVOCs One-half of our personnel are OSHA HAZWOPER certified One-third of our total personnel hold water and/or wastewater treatment licenses Geotextile Tube Dewatering Infrastructure Alternatives geotextile tube (Geotube ) dewatering experience stands alone. Our personnel have filled more than 485,000 lineal feet of geotextile tubes with all types of clean and contaminated sediments, sludges and industrial process wastes; stacked geotextile tubes up to 10 layers; designed and constructed header systems to handle up to 5,500 gallons per minute of dredge flow; and installed geotextile tubes on shorelines and in rivers and lakes to form dune and island structures. Contaminated Sediment Clean Up Infrastructure Alternatives has participated in many important contaminated sediment clean up projects throughout the Great Lakes basin and has been responsible for dewatering 2.5 million cubic yards of contaminated sediment. These sediments were contaminated with variety of chemicals, most frequently PCBs (polychlorinated bi-phenyls) and metals, and ranged in grain size, organic content and in-situ percent solids. Contract Operations Infrastructure Alternatives Contract Operations division provides water and wastewater treatment and engineering services to private, municipal and industrial clients throughout Michigan and Wisconsin. One-third of our corporate staff holds treatment licenses in Michigan, Wisconsin or both. When tasked with treating water for a dredging or sediment dewatering project, IAI draws from our deep field of licensed operators and Professional Engineers for their design, construction, operations and maintenance expertise, to provide the most effective and economical treatment approach available. Statement of Qualifications 2

Facilities & Systems Start-Up Infrastructure Alternatives approaches facilities and systems start up much the same way, whether the facility is a municipal wastewater treatment plant, expected to serve a community for a lifetime, or a temporary system, designed and built to process dredged material produced over a single dredging season. We work with the project engineer, other contractors and our client to coordinate and implement a planned start-up and prove-in procedure. Equipment manufacturers are consulted to ensure the start-up meets with their requirements, and does not void the warranty of their equipment. Extra personnel are brought in to support the project team, and see them through a successful start-up. Our staff has been involved with over 150 system start-ups over their careers, including new wastewater treatment facilities, water treatment facilities, wastewater collection systems, water distribution systems, industrial pretreatment and direct discharge treatment facilities, groundwater pump and treat systems, complex groundwater remediation treatment plants, as well as many start-ups of utility extensions for numerous clients over the past 30 years. UNIQUE CAPABILITIES Process Control Process control parameters are especially critical for the successful operation of any flow-through process. The precision of the process control techniques has a direct impact on project efficiencies, cost control, energy and chemical consumption, residuals production and quality of the final product whether that is dewatered sediment or treatment plant effluent. In order to develop the process control parameters unique to each operation, we work closely with the design engineer to establish critical set points. We develop these process control parameters within 30 days of our involvement with our client s operations. We then fine tune these parameters and incorporate them into Standard Operating Procedures. Wide Ranging Process Experience Infrastructure Alternatives has experience with operation and maintenance of nearly every treatment process available to the water industry, and we are able to capitalize on that experience when we incorporate wastewater treatment processes into the sediment dewatering and dredging systems that we design, construct and operate: Physical solids separation o Screens o Comminuter Thickening o Gravity thickener o Belt press o Plate and frame press o Centrifuge Biological o Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBRs) o Traditional activated sludge o Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) o Oxidation Ditch Settling and clarification o Lagoon (or pond) o Lamella clarifier o Clarifier o Flocculation sedimentation Filtration o Multimedia filtration (gravity, pressurized) Organic contaminants removal o Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) adsorption Disinfection o Chlorine (gas, liquid) o Ultraviolet (UV) light Softening o Lime softening o Iron filtration o Chemical sequestration Chemical addition o ph adjustment o Alkalinity adjustment o Flocculation, coagulation o Polymers Statement of Qualifications 3

Infrastructure Rehabilitation Infrastructure Alternatives has a master mechanic on staff with over 15 years of experience with the installation and rehabilitation of all water and wastewater treatment process and collection systems. His expertise is applied to the maintenance of our contract operated facilities, as well as used to assist our clients with capital improvements as required. In House Design Engineering Capability Infrastructure Alternatives is able to offer our clients the benefits of in-house engineering capabilities. During the execution of a project, the need for design, new construction, rehabilitation, renovation, or capital improvements may arise. Our team of highly experienced civil engineers can immediately provide coordinated input to the project, working directly with our operations staff and our clients personnel. UNIQUE CAPABILITIES Our commitment is to provide innovative engineering solutions to the sometimes complex, or perhaps not so complex, needs of our clients. In an effort to find less than obvious means of cost savings, Infrastructure Alternatives engineering staff not only approaches each project from conventional angles, but also goes one step further by evaluating each project from the not-so-conventional angles. The result of this approach is sometimes delivered by typical design bid build project execution, and other times delivered by the design build method, where Infrastructure Alternatives serves as the single source of accountability for all aspects of the engineering project.
