Subject to the applicable provisions of the laws of this State, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, from time to time, declare and the Corporation may pay dividends in cash, property, or its own shares, except when the Corporation is insolvent or when the payment thereof would render the Corporation insolvent or when the declaration or payment thereof would be contrary to any restrictions contained in this Certificate of Incorporation.

One third of the Corporation's shares entitled to vote will represent a quorum at any meeting of the Company's shareholders. Transactions with Directors and Other Interested Parties No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any other corporation, whether or not a majority of the shares of the capital stock of such other corporation is owned by the Corporation, and no act of the Corporation shall in any way be affected or invalidated by the fact that any of the directors of the Corporation are pecuniarily or otherwise interested in, or are directors or officers of, such other corporation.

Limitation of Director Liability and Indemnification No director of the Corporation shall have liability to the Corporation or to its stockholders or to other security holders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that such provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the Corporation or to its shareholders or other security holders for monetary damages for: (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or to its shareholders or other security holders; (ii) acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law by such director; (iii) acts by such director as specified by Colorado law; or (iv) any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. No officer or director shall be personally liable for any injury to person or property arising out of a tort committed by an employee of the Corporation unless such officer or director was personally involved in the situation giving rise to the injury or unless such officer or director committed a criminal offense. The protection afforded in the preceding sentence shall not restrict other common law protections and rights that an officer or director may have. The word "director" shall include at least the following, unless limited by Colorado law: an individual who is or was a director of the Corporation and an individual who, while a director of a Corporation is or was serving at the Corporation's request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation or of any partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan.

T ENERGY SOLUTIONS Use by Special Review - Harper Kona Solar Energy Facility Planning Questionnaire PID 080121000006 I. Explain the proposed use and business name. Syrcuit Energy Solutions (Syrcuit) proposes a Solar Energy Facility (SEF) to be placed e ntirely on Weld County parcel number 080121000006, which is located in the southwest quarter of section 21 Township 6 North Range 64 West. The SEF will have a capacity of roughly 4.3 megawatts and will cover approximately 20.7 acres of the parcel to the west of existing oil and gas locations. The SEF will be designed to ensure appropriate setbacks from the existing wells, equipment, and flowlines on the property. This SEF is constructed through Xcel Energy's Solar Rewards Community Program. This program was implemented by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission in 2010 and mandates that Xcel work with independent, third -party solar developers to provide local e nergy production at the electric distribution level and provide ratepayers with the option to choose their energy source. This program combats potential full monopolization by Xcel in the generation and sale of energy to customers in Xcel territory. Furthermore, in order to win an award for this project, Syrcuit has to compete against n umerous other solar developers in a selective RFP process — a process which ultimately yields the best prices and quality of work for consumers. Syrcuit's project will allow for a safe and well-timed addition of energy to the grid. Distributed energy projects like this have the added benefit of strengthening the local e lectric grid and creating a more resilient local electricity system. This project, and its relatively small footprint, will complement Weld County's numerous other energy generation industries and the County's place as the energy capital of Colorado and that is evidenced by the fact that this SEF will co -exist with oil and gas development. This project will allow consumers to have a choice in their energy supply. With the construction of this project, Xcel customers in Weld County and all throughout the front range will have the ability to decide if they would like to subscribe to a portion of the solar 1 array's output, thereby giving them 100% solar energy (an alternative to Xcel's one and only choice for consumers). 2. Explain the need for the proposed use. This project meets a multitude of needs in the community: The Landowner (Noble Energy Inc.) does not have water rights to irrigate the parcel. Should this parcel ever be considered forag production, the landowner would be required to find water from a different system, and either rent or purchase the water rights. The market rates also make the purchase of water (were it to even become available) wholly uneconomical as costs would far exceed any possible return on investment. Furthermore, the topsoil would need to be reestablished on the entirety of the parcel, meaning the potential for future ag production is near nonexistent without an immense amount of labor and capital, leaving the potential for any return on investment equally unlikely. The addition of an SEF provides the opportunity for a long-term, predictable income stream while simultaneously fortifying the grid in Weld County. Rather than a portion of this parcel sitting as vacant rangeland, the construction of an SEF can provide local jobs and a long- term asset that will create energy at a competitive price to the benefit of Weld County residents. Residents in Xcel territory have not traditionally had a choice in who their utility provider is and where their energy comes from. Community solar solves this issue by providing ratepayers with an opportunity for choice, and an option to choose locally generated electricity by a locally created company. Weld County, and Colorado as a whole, is experiencing massive growth in electricity consumption. More electricity generation is needed to meet this need. Local solar projects like this help the state and county diversify its electricity sources and have local generation that result in a more stable and resilient grid. Weld County has long been the energy capital of Colorado and adding solar to the County will further diversify the County's energy mix and further its role as an energy leader in Colorado. Weld County's Comprehensive plan specifically calls out a goal of supporting "responsible energy and mineral development." This project meets the definition of responsible (see answer to question 21). 3. Describe the current and previous use of the land. The property is owned by Noble Energy Inc. which uses a portion of the land for their oil and gas operations through the operations of multiple oil and gas locations for wells. Although the land is zoned agriculture the land is dry farmland and Noble Energy Inc. has no water 2 rights for the land. Noble Energy Inc. has no plans for agricultural operations or future development of oil and gas wells from this parcel. Syrcuit has an agreement and a lease with Noble Energy who has three active oil and gas locations as described below. • A21 Production Facility o Production facility with separators, tanks, and other oil and gas production equipment. • A-21-12 Well Pad O 14 oil and gas wells (Harper and Kona wells) with 11 wells still producing and three wells abandoned. ■ Producing wells: 123-44471, 123-44473, 123-44474, 123-44475, 123- 44476, 123-44477, 123-44478, 123-44523, 123-44524, 123-44525, and 123-44541. ■ Abandoned wells: 123-44472, 123-44522, and 123-44540. • A21-13 Well Pad O 13 oil and gas wells (Harper and Kona wells) with 11 wells still producing and two wells abandoned. ■ Producing wells: 123- 44572, 123-44573, 123-44574, 123-44576, 123- 44577, 123-44576, 123-50924, 123-50925, 123-50926, 123-50927, and 123-50928. ■ Abandoned wells: 123-44571 and 123-44575. In addition to the three oil and gas locations described above, the parcel has five additional plugged and abandoned oil and gas wells: 123-14501, 123-19571, 123-20034, 123-20403, and 123-27000. The SEF will be designed to ensure there is a 150 -foot setback from each of these producing wells and that there is a 50 -foot setback from each of these abandoned wells. The property is not in a floodplain, geologic hazard area, airport overlay, MS4 area or within navigable waters requiring an Army Corps of Engineers permit. The property also does not have any railroads The property has overhead utility lines on the west side of the property. The property does have an irrigation ditch, Greeley #2 Canal. Syrcuit has reached out to the Ditch Company and received a response from the General Manager that they have no concerns with the proposal. The property is also not being considered for annexation into any municipalities. At the request of Weld County, Syrcuit sent a notice of inquiry to the Town of Kersey and verified they had no interest in annexing the land. 3 Syrcuit made multiple attempts to contact the Oil and Gas Energy Department to see if they had any concerns regarding the proposal and did not receive a response back. The below map is from Weld County's GIS system and has all "Plans and Overlays" under "Planning" selected. The map shows the parcel is not in any of those plans or overlays. fJ!%f „/;;(///4/ /4 /, i;le ,. ..rr ice.- . i iir1J//////. iff 6 A. 11J/l ii �� r 47 d/ , // vp Gl f !� The property has two water wells on the location as described below: • Water well permit # 4000273-MH o Noble Energy, Inc is the applicant and the permit expired 11/27/2023. The well depth is 15 feet and it is an alluvial well type and is listed as a monitoring hole. • Water well permit # 61402 o John Keller is the owner and the well was constructed in 1972 as is a residential water well. The depth is 6912 feet. 4. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences. The SEF is being designed with three residences within 500 feet. Syrcuit has reached out to all three of these owners to discuss the project. The following is a summary of these outreach efforts: 1. Catheryn S and Douglas E Franklin — 080120000071 (to the north and west) • Called and left a voice message on May 22, 2024. • Called and left a second message on August 8, 2024. • Sent a certified letter via the United States Postal Service that was received on September 11, 2024 asking to contact Syrcuit. 2. Michael D Lawrence — 080120000083 (to the west) • Called and discussed on May 22, 2024. He is in full support of the project. He asked about the potential for trees to help with screening of the project area. • Sent a certified letter via the United States Postal Service that was received on September 11, 2024 asking to contact Syrcuit. 4 3. Foe Front Range Farms LLC — 080120400002 (to the west) • Called and left a voice message on May 22, 2024. • Called and left a second message on August 8, 2024. • Sent a certified letter via the United States Postal Service that was received on September 11, 2024 asking to contact Syrcuit. Syrcuit will continue outreach to these residents and is willing to meet with any of them if desired. There are 25 parcels with 34 owners on record within 1000 feet from the SEF. Syrcuit held a community meeting on September 26, 2024 where four of these owners attended. Syrcuit discussed the proposal and took questions at this community meeting. See attached sign in sheet from the community meeting. 5. Describe the surrounding land uses of the site and how the proposed use is compatible with them. In addition to the three parcels that have residences as documented above, the following is information related to the adjacent parcels. The surrounding parcels are irrigated agricultural and rangeland. Agricultural operations and energy development in Weld County have a long history of being compatible with each other and this proposed SEF is no exception. The SEF is being proposed to co -exist on a parcel with existing oil and gas to avoid any impact to nearby agricultural lands. Syrcuit secured an agreement and a lease for this SEF from the oil and gas company that both owns the land and operates the three oil and gas locations on the parcel. From a health and safety perspective, solar is a compatible use for the surrounding lands. It produces no airborne or soil -leaching contaminants, making it safe for the nearby crops and any other agricultural production taking place. The solar is compatible and complementary to the nearby oil and gas activities existing and the project is planned with Syrcuit working with the oil and gas company. This addition will pose no health or safety threat to these uses. Solar is also one of the few uses for land that also contains active or abandoned oil and gas infrastructure. SEFs are not inhabited, and oil and gas operations pose no threat to the solar array. Solar is a safe and non -disruptive use for this parcel; it is primed to be placed amidst an area with various uses. 6. Describe the hours and days of operation (i.e., Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Once construction is complete, the SEF will continuously operate 24/7, but only producing power during daylight hours. The proposed SEF will use single -axis trackers, which will 5 angle the solar modules accordingly as the sun shifts in the sky. These trackers allow for maximized energy production. While the array will be running all day, it will create no disturbances. Solar arrays are nearly silent and produce no smoke, smog, vapors, or dust. Construction will run during normal business hours for the duration of about nine months. 7. Describe the number of employees including full-time, part-time and contractors. If shift work is proposed, detail number of employees, schedule and duration of shifts. During construction: Construction during daytime hours will range from five to eight workers during the electrical install and during the early mobilization and site preparation stage with site construction workers peaking at 10 to 15 workers midway through the project and reducing back down to five to eight workers during the final commissioning and testing stage. Once operational: The SEF will have a maintenance crew visit once quarterly (or as needed if damage occurs due to weather), otherwise the SEF will be unmanned. 8. Describe the maximum number of users, patrons, members, buyers or other visitors that the site will accommodate at any one time. N/A. This proposed use will be for energy production only and will not host patrons, etc. 9. List the types and maximum numbers of animals to be on the site at any one time (for dairies, livestock, confinement operations, kennels, etc.). Not applicable. 10. List the types and number of operating and processing equipment. There will be monocrystalline modules, inverters, and rows of single -axis trackers. The system consists of string level DC to AC conversion inverters, main equipment pads with AC Recombiners, switchgear and MV step up transformers that connect to Xcel's grid. To comply with the National Electric Code, there will be a 6' tall security fence with a 1' barbed wire arm installed around the entire perimeter of the site, with a gate located at the access location. The fence and gate will be constructed of 4" X 4" welded rod material. The gate will remain closed and locked at all times except during construction and quarterly maintenance periods. 11. List the types, number and uses of the existing and proposed structures. There will be no structures associated with the proposed solar facility other than the solar array itself, which will be used for energy generation, and either work trailers or a 20 -foot to 40 -foot Conex box to store spare parts and equipment. 6 12. Describe the size of any stockpile, storage or waste areas. During the construction phase, there will be materials and equipment that may need a laydown yard located on the interior of the facility. When the construction is completed, there will be either work trailers or a 20 -foot to 40 -foot Conex box to store spare parts and equipment. 13. Describe the method and time schedule of removal or disposal of debris, junk and other wastes associated with the proposed use. During the construction phase, waste will be stored in refuge du mpsters, which will be emptied on a regular basis or as needed. Once the facility is operational, there will be no waste or refuge produced from the solar operation. 14. Include a timetable showing the periods of time required for the construction of the operation. Construction of the SEF will only be conducted during daylight hours. The following is a high- level timetable: • General construction including installation of the fence and tracking systems —10 days. • Installation of the solar panel modules — 45 to 60 days. • Installation of the transformers and switch gears and meters — 90 to 100 days. 15. Describe the proposed and existing lot surface type and the square footage of each type (i.e. asphalt, gravel, landscaping, dirt, grass, buildings). The subject area of 20.7 acres is currently on vacant rangeland and the design will disturb as least land as possible land for the construction of this SEF. Following the completion of the construction, disturbed areas within the limits of construction, such as roadcuts, utility trenches, and other areas where vegetation has been removed, altered, or eliminated, will be reseeded with native seed mix. 16. How many parking spaces are proposed? How many handicap -accessible parking spaces are proposed? There will be two (2) temporary internal parking spaces for vehicles servicing the facility. There will be no ADA parking spaces, as this is not a facility for general public use. 17. Describe the existing and proposed fencing and screening for the site including all parking and outdoor storage areas. To comply with the National Electric Code, there will be a 6' tall security fence with a 1' 7 barbed wire arm installed around the entire perimeter of the site. The fence and gate will be constructed of 4" X 4" welded rod material. See the Landscaping and screening plan for more details on the fencing. The two (2) internal parking spaces on the site plan are temporary. There will be no outdoor storage associated with this proposed solar facility. 18. Describe the existing and proposed landscaping for the site. The entire area of the parcel is a mixture of lower maintenance dryland seed mix. The unaffected area's landscaping will not change. Once the construction phase is completed, the affected area within the solar facility fence will be seeded with the seed mixture that the landowner has given. 19. Describe reclamation procedures to be employed as stages of the operation are phased out or upon cessation of the Use by Special Review activity. Once the site is no longer used for the proposed solar facility, the panels, racking, cabling, inverters, and all associated equipment will be removed from the site and recycled and/or disposed of in a responsible manner. The site will be returned to the condition it was in prior to the solar facility being constructed with the exception of certain site improvements desired by the landowner or system design such as re -grading, leveling, vegetation, and/or soil improvements. Solar leaves behind no ground contamination, so there will be no hazardous elements left behind on the land. 20. Describe the proposed fire protection measures. The subject property is within the Platte Valley Fire Protection District. Fire access within the facility will be via a 20' -wide access road, with a hammerhead or an acceptable hammerhead alternative turnaround at the end of the drive. Grasses within the solar facility will be mowed as needed, to help prevent the spread of range fires. Maintenance will be performed regularly each quarter, as well as on an as -needed basis, to monitor and maintain the electrical wiring of the system. Syrcuit will reach out to Platte Valley Fire Protection District to discuss any concerns they might have with the SEF design. 21. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses goals and objectives for natural resources (Weld County Code, Chapter 22, Sec.22-2-66). The proposed use of the subject property as a solar power generation facility is consistent with the goals and policies of this section. Section B states one goal of Weld County's is "Support responsible energy and mineral development." The County outlines the steps for this goal, and these following steps in 8 particular, are supported by the SEF: "1. Ensure that surface development reasonably accommodates mineral extraction." Syrcuit's SEFs work well when located near oil and gas activity as solar does not have to follow the same health and safety restrictions that inhabited buildings do. Noble Energy has wells on th parcel and Syrcuit has an executed lease with them. "3. Require that energy and mineral resource development conserve the land and minimize the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses." The standard lifetime of an SEF is 20-40 years. At the end of its life, our SEF will be fully decommissioned, and the land that it stands atop will be fully restored. Additionally, this project should allow the land to go fallow for many years, improving the soil conditions for possible future agricultural use, should the landowner decide to change this parcel into an agriculture production instead of rangeland. Solar produces no contamination or noise pollution and will pose no threat to surrounding land uses. "5. Energy development facilities should preserve agricultural areas and enhance the rural landscape." When decommissioned, the SEF will leave behind uncontaminated agricultural lands with renewed soil. During its lifetime, the solar array will have native vegetation growing beneath it, contributing to Weld County's vegetative health and supporting local pollinator communities. 22. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is located. (Intent statements can be found at the beginning of each zone district section in Article III of Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code.) "Agriculture in the COUNTY is considered a valuable resource which must be protected from adverse impacts resulting from uncontrolled and undirected business, industrial and residential land USES. The A (Agricultural) Zone District was established to maintain and promote agriculture as an essential feature of the COUNTY. The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide areas for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and agricultural production, and for areas for natural resource extraction and energy development, without the interference of other, incompatible land USES." The subject property is zoned Agricultural (A). Solar Facilities are permitted as a Use by Special Review in the Agricultural zone district. The Use by Special Review process allows for adequate review by the Planning staff, Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners, to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Additionally, citizens are afforded adequate opportunities to express their concerns in the public hearing setting before any solar facility can be constructed on agriculturally- zoned land. Within the stated intent of the "Agricultural" Zone District is the specific reference to "natural resource extraction" and "energy development". This proposed solar power generation plant is in compliance with the intent of the "Agricultural" Zone District. 9 Solar facilities allow farmers and ranchers another use for their land and a viable stream of income beyond traditional farming and ranching uses. The SEF does not permanently stand on the land, or contaminate it, allowing for the landowner should they decide to use this land for agricultural purposes after the 20-40 year SEF I ifecycle. 23. Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area or adopted master plans of affected municipalities. The subject parcel does not fall within any Intergovernmental Agreement Boundaries and therefore not impactful to the master plans of any municipalities in Weld County. Syrcuit reached out to the Town of Kersey as the Town was within the Coordinated Planning Agreement Boundary and the Town indicated they have no interest in annexing this parcel. Additionally, the proposed solar facility will be compatible with the remainder of the surrounding Area, which remains unincorporated. Much of the surrounding area is now, and will likely remain, agricultural and rangeland in nature. In addition, oil/gas production will likely continue in the surrounding area. Solar development is very compatible with farming and ranching uses and oil/gas development. Renewable projects provide farmers and ranchers a viable alternate use to traditional farming and ranching uses on their land. Since there are no permanent structures being built as part of this proposal, the land can be returned to its agricultural use once the economic viability of the solar facility has ended. 24. Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County. This development will positively impact the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the surrounding area and County. The SEF will create no airborne or ground contaminants, making it nonhazardous for residents near and far. The SEF is also nearly silent when operating, thus will not contribute to any noise pollution. The SEF will produce local electricity without adding any pollution to the air. The SEF will be fully fenced in with a security fence, making it inaccessible for trespassers and preventing potential hazardous situations. Syrcuit will build the SEF according to both building codes and Xcel's standards and will pose no threat to the health and viability of the electric grid, locally or throughout the front range. The addition of solar energy to the grid will further diversify the energy mix supplied by Xcel, preventing dependence on any one source of fuel and eliminating the risks associated. The SEF will also provide Weld County residents (who are Xcel customers) with the opportunity to choose their energy source and energy provide, increasing consumer 10 choices and economic freedom. 25. Describe any irrigation features. If the proposed use is to be located in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, explain your efforts to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. While this land is zoned for agriculture, it should not be considered as prime farmland. The Weld County Code defines prime and non -prime farmland as follows: "FARMLAND - WELD COUNTY NONPRIME: NONPRIME FARMLAND is low capability land that is not considered important land for food production. It may be composed of poorer soils prone to erosion or may have topographical limitations such as slopes or gullies." "FARMLAND - WELD COUNTY PRIME: The availability of a consistent supply of quality water must exist in order to have PRIME FARMLANDS. PRIME and PRIME if irrigated lands fall into upper capability classes as defined by the Natural Resource Conservation Service and Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Service and should be protected equally if irrigation water is available and they are located within a reasonable distance of water delivery STRUCTURES." For the following reasons, Syrcuit believes this parcel falls into the nonprime farmland category: 1. This parcel should be considered Non -Prime Farmland because there are no water rights to farm on the lands. 2. The land has not been framed for several years. 3. The top soil is not conducive to agricultural operations. 26. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI of Chapter 23 if the proposal is located within any overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic Hazard, or Historic Townsites Overlay Districts) or a Special Flood Hazard Area identified by maps officially adopted by the County. This location does not fall within any of the zoning districts. 27. Detail known State or Federal permits required for your proposed use(s) and the status of each permit. Provide a copy of any application or permit. Syrcuit will need to apply for the following permits to complete this SEF: • State: COR400000 Stormwater Discharge to be applied for and obtained following USR issuance • County: Access Permit • Federal: N/A 11 T ENERGY SOLUTIONS Use by Special Review - Harper Kona Solar Energy Facility Development Review Questionnaire PID 080121000006 1. Describe the access location and applicable use types (i.e., agricultural, residential, commercial/industrial, and/or oil and gas) of all existing and proposed accesses to the parcel. Include the approximate distance each access is (or will be if proposed) from an intersecting county road. State that no existing access is present or that no new access is proposed, if applicable. There are three access permits listed on this parcel which are all directly off County Road 53. 1. AP16-00527 owned by Noble Energy used for oil and gas 2. APOG19-0051 NCWYO Assets % DCP Operating used for oil and gas 3. APTOG-24-0091 owned by Noble Energy used for equipment crossing After discussions with Noble Energy, they indicated that access permit AP16-00527 is the access permit that remains valid and in effect and the permit that Noble Energy uses to access their oil and gas locations. Syrcuit intends to use this access permit and road to access this SEF with no needed changes and Syrcuit will work with Noble Energy to ensure 100% compliance with all requirements from the approved access permit. Access permit AP16-00527 is roughly 1,410' from the intersection of WCR53 and WCR66. 2. Describe any anticipated change(s) to an existing access, if applicable. No changes are anticipated to the existing access road as this access road will be used for this SEF. Syrcuit will work with Noble Energy to ensure 100% compliance with all requirements from the approved access permit. 1 3. Describe in detail any existing or proposed access gate including its location. To comply with the National Electric Code, there will be a 6' tall security fence with a 1' barbed wire arm installed around the entire perimeter of the site, with a gate located at the access location, approximately 350 ft northwest of the access point off WCR 53. The proposed fence and gate will be constructed of 4" X 4" 6 GA galvanized wire mesh welded to frame. The gate will remain closed and locked at all times except during construction and quarterly maintenance periods. 4. Describe the location of all existing accesses on adjacent parcels and on parcels located on the opposite side of the road. Include the approximate distance each access is from an intersecting county road. Per the Weld County Assessor's Map, there is one existing temporary access on the parcel directly to the west. This parcel is number 080120400002 and is owned by Foe Front Range Farms LLC. The access is a temporary access approved in 2024 under APTOG24-0092 and the purpose is for equipment crossing. There are no other access permits onto parcels located across the opposite side of WCR 53 or any other directly adjacent parcels. 011 4# * I # . r tie .a -Ira . � RM:a to& I J oble E nerg 1Foe Front Range Farms cro Noble Enargyr , APOG19- 051 t im N CM ° Assets LLC cio DCPb parating C � • �{` 4 i , '-„,...: 2 5. Describe any difficulties seeing oncoming traffic from an existing access and any anticipated difficulties seeing oncoming traffic from a proposed access. There are no difficulties seeing oncoming traffic from our proposed/existing access. The surrounding land is flat and free of vegetation, providing a clear plain view. 6. Describe any horizontal curve (using terms like mild curve, sharp curve, reverse curve, etc.) in the vicinity of an existing or proposed access. There are no horizontal curves in the vicinity. All roads are straight in the area. 7. Describe the topography (using terms like flat, slight hills, steep hills, etc.) of the road in the vicinity of an existing or proposed access. Per our site visit and the Weld County Assessor's map, the topography of the portion of WCR 53 that runs near our proposed access is very flat and provides a clear plain of view. Development Standards In addition, Syrcuit agrees to the following development standards: 1. The property owner or operator shall be responsible for controlling noxious weeds on the site, pursuant to Chapter 15, Article I and II, of the Weld County Code. 2. The access to the site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road, including damages and/or off -site tracking. 3. Any work that may occupy and or encroach upon any County rights -of -way or easement shall acquire an approved Right -of -Way Use Permit prior to commencement. 4.

Response: See submitted dust and weed mitigation plan, noise impact statement, and light impact statement. There will be no nuisances related to odor or lights during either construction or production of the SEF. All lighting will comply with Sec. 23-2-250.D of the Code. Regarding noise, construction of the SEF will only take place during normal daytime hours thereby not impacting nighttime hours. Once the SEF is constructed and in production, the SEF produces no noise pollution. 2 Regarding visual, the SEF will have an 8' tall game fence installed around the entire perimeter of the site, with a gate located at the access location. The fence and gate will be constructed of 4" X 4" welded rod material. Additionally, the storage mentioned above in question 3 will be positioned in the interior of the solar arrays. Regarding waste and debris, during the construction phase, waste and debris will be stored in refuge dumpsters, which will be emptied on a regular basis or as needed. This waste will be handled, stored, and disposed of in a manner that control blowing debris and other potential nuisance conditions. Once the facility is operational, there will be no waste or debris produced from the solar operation. Syrcuit will operate in accordance with Chapter 14, Article 1 of the Weld County Code. Regarding dust, construction of the SEF will only take place during normal daytime hours and may include trucks that cause dust. Syrcuit will employ practices for control of dust caused by operations as necessary. Such practices shall include, but not limited to, the use of speed restrictions, regular road maintenance, restriction of construction activity during high -wind days, and may use watering on roads (assuming approval from the County). Once the SEF is constructed and in production, the SEF will have regular vehicles on location and therefore the chance of dust impacts will be greatly reduced. 11.Additional information may be requested depending on the type of land use requested. Response: Understood. Water Supply Documentation: The facility will be unmanned and will not need water to be supplied. During construction all construction personnel will bring in potable water from offsite. Sewage Disposal Documentation: The facility will be unmanned and will not need sewage disposal systems onsite.

The intent of this Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan is to provide a comprehensive plan for removal of the solar facility after its useful life and/or the termination of power generation operations; and to return the subject property to conditions that existed prior to the solar facility's construction. The solar power generation facility has an estimated useful life of 30 years or more, with an opportunity for a life of 50 years or more with equipment replacement and repowering. At the end of the useful life of the facility, Syrcuit will cease power generation, decommission the facility, and remove the components of the facility from the subject property. The site will be reclaimed and returned to the agricultural use that existed prior to the facility being constructed (or if the landowner requests to keep the land and access roads as is). This Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan is subject to refinement should future best practices or alternate methods be developed by the solar industry, during the life of this facility. Syrcuit will follow solar industry standards and best management practices (BMPs) that exist at the time of decommissioning and reclamation of the site. 1.1 Procedures for Decommissioning the Solar Facility After Useful Life & Termination of Power Generation The solar facility consists of numerous recyclable materials, including glass, semiconductor material, steel, aluminum, copper, and plastics. When the facility reaches the end of its operational life, the component parts can be dismantled, and for the most part, salvaged or recycled at properly licensed facilities. Some site features, such as internal roads, driveways, drainage features/improvements, and electrical interconnections may remain on the site, depending upon the anticipated future use of the property. All such improvements, that are scheduled to remain after the decommissioning of the site, will be approved by the Weld County Department of Planning Services. The following steps will be followed in the decommissioning of the solar facility: ■ Approximately one year prior to the planned decommissioning of the facility, Syrcuit will schedule apre-closure meeting with the Weld County Department of Planning Services to discuss the process for the site decommissioning and restoration. The final decommissioning details will be developed through consultation with the Weld County Department of Planning Services and other departments and agencies that have jurisdiction over activities in the decommissioning process. Any required permits will be obtained prior to implementation of the Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan. ■ Appropriate temporary (construction -related) erosion and sedimentation controlled BMPs will be applied during the decommissioning phase of the project. The BMPs will be inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper functionality. ■ Effectively, the decommissioning of the solar facility proceeds in reverse order of the installation: 1. A site -specific health and safety plan shall be developed, prior to beginning decommissioning activities, which incorporates the specific sequence and procedures to be followed. 2. Coordination with local departments and agencies to develop route plans and obtain necessary permits for the transportation of materials and equipment to and from the site. 3. The solar facility shall be disconnected from the utility grid. This process will be coordinated with Xcel Energy. 4. PV modules shall be disconnected, collected, and transported to a properly licensed recycling facility. S. Above ground and underground electrical interconnection and distribution cabling shall be removed and salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility. 6. All non -utility owned equipment, conduits, structures, fencing, and foundations to a depth of at least three (3) feet below grade will be removed. 7. The aluminum racking that supports the PV modules shall be removed and salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility. 8. PV module support steel and support posts shall be removed and salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility. g. Electrical and electronic devices, including transformers, semiconductors materials, inverters, and batteries, shall be removed and salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility. so. Concrete foundations shall be removed and will be recycled off -site at an approved concrete recycling facility. 11. Fencing shall be removed and will be recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility. 12. The site will be restored to its original condition (or if the landowner requests to keep the land and access roads as is), including any necessary sculpting of soils to match existing natural contours and the re -seeding of native grasses. Any soil that had been re -located for construction purposes will be redistributed on the site or used for landscaping purposes. Soils will be compacted for those areas where foundations or piers have been removed. 1.2 Equipment to be Used for the Decommissioning of the Solar Facility The decommissioning of the solar facility will be undertaken using traditional heavy construction equipment, including front-end loaders, bull dozers, cranes, excavators (track - mounted and rubber -tired), water tankers, trucks, and pick-ups. Semi -trucks will be used to transport materials to off -site salvage or recycle centers. 1.3 Dust Mitigation During the Decommissioning Phase Water tankers will be used to help control dust while the decommissioning activities are occurring on the site. During the decommissioning of the facility, Syrcuit will exercise BMPs to limit fugitive dust from being airborne and traveling beyond the property lines. Dust control efforts will be monitored by the site foreman on a regular basis to ensure fugitive dust is adequately controlled. Water spray will be applied, as needed, to unpaved areas during periods of dry weather. Care will be taken not to over -apply water and create mud. Vehicle tracking devices will be installed at truck exit drives, per the requirements of Weld County. Vehicles operating on the site during the decommissioning phase will limit their speed to 15 mph or less, to minimize dust emissions. 1.4 Decommissioning/Reclamation Cost Estimates Decommissioning/reclamation cost estimates, which shall be updated every five (5) years from the establishment and submittal of the Security, shall include all costs associated with the dismantlement, recycling, and safe disposal of facility components and site reclamation activities, including the following elements: Decommissioning: Fencing Structures Modules Electrical Site Restoration $3,000.00 $60,000.00 $30,000.00 $20,000.00 $25,000.00 Total Clarifications — Inclusions and Exclusions $138,000.00 1.

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Syrcuit Energy Solutions (SYRC) is constructing a new solar site in Weld County, Colorado. The project is referred to as the Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility. As part of the project, a solar array, access road and laydown area will be constructed. Once the solar array is constructed, the solar array and access road will remain and serve the site. Ascent Geomatic Solutions (Ascent) has been contracted to perform the grading, drainage analysis and drainage report for the Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility. This report presents the findings and recommendations for the grading and stormwater management for the project. 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility is located in the West half of the Southwest quarter of Section 21, Township 6 North, Range 64 West of the 6th Principal Meridian in Weld County, Colorado'. Figure 1 shows an aerial photo of the project site location. A vicinity map showing the project location relative to the surrounding area can be found in Appendix D. Figure 1: Aerial of Project Location Source: Bing Maps, AutoCAD 2025 GeoMap Feature 1 The project site is located at latitude: 40.46795° N, longitude: 104.56350° W. ASCENT Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility: Preliminary Drainage Report Document: PDR 01 Rev A Page 4 July 2024 The proposed SEF is located on a 50.0 -acre site' which is a portion of a 94.0 -acre parcel owned by Noble Energy, Inc. and at a mean elevation 4,732 ft. amsl. The site is in a non -urbanized area and bounded by County Road 53 to the West, County Road 66 to the South, County Road 55 to the East and Highway 392 to the North. Currently all of the stormwater runoff from the site flows south and eventually to the Greeley No. 2 Canal to the South of the site. 3. DESIGN CRITERIA The proposed drainage plan follows Weld County Code requirements' and Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria (WC-ECC)``. Weld County Charter and County Code (WC- CCC)4 incorporates many of the requirements from Mile High Flood District (MHFD) by reference into its code and as such MHFD requirements have been included in the design and analysis for the Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility project. Hydraflow Express Extension for Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D (Hydraflow)6 software was used to perform many of the hydraulic calculations for this project. The Rational Method was used for the hydrologic calculations. The Modified -FAA Method was used for Water Quality Capture Volumes. The runoff coefficients used in the Rational calculations are taken from USDCM-1-2008` in accordance with WC-PW requirements. All stonnwater runoff from the project area will be directed to water quality bmp's for sedimentation. An exemption for a detention pond is requested for consideration per Weld County code section 23-4-1030.B.1. The overall design directives include mitigation of stormwater so as not to negatively impact adjacent properties. 4. DESIGN CONDITIONS The existing conditions ground cover of the project site and the ground cover of the rangeland adjacent to the pad can be described as short pastures and lawns'. Figure 2 provides a photograph of the existing surface conditions and the basin delineation map is presented in Appendix K. Acreage per Basin Surface Use Agreement (SUA). A small portion of offsite runoff is routed through the sediment basin resulting in the 50.0 -acre area used for hydrologic calculations. 3 Particular attention to Weld County Code Chapter 8 (Public Works), Article XI (Storm Drainage Criteria), and Weld County code Section 23-4-1030.B.1 has been given for this project designs. 4 Reference Appendix A, Table 2: Reference Documents for more information. 5 The "short pastures and lawns" condition has a corresponding Conveyance Factor (K) of 7 within the Rational Method. ASCENT '1 Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility: Preliminary Drainage Report Document: PDR 01 Rev A Page 5 July 2024 The hydrologic soil classifications for the project were obtained from the NRCS Web Soil Survey (NRCS). Appendix G presents the NRCS soils map used to perform the analysis. The hydrologic soil group is assumed to be 67% Type A soil, 33% Type C soils for Basin 1 and 98% Type A soil, 2% Type D soils for Basin 2. No construction is proposed in the area with Type D soils. The selection of imperviousness values for the project site are based on whether the conditions are existing or proposed; the specific imperviousness values selected for the hydrologic analysis are discussed in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. The design storm data used to analyze both existing and proposed conditions were taken from NOAA Atlas 14 (NOAA-14)7. The NOAA-14 precipitation frequency data used for the hydrologic analysis is provided in Appendix F. The proposed site is located outside the FEMA 100-yr floodplain8. The mean groundwater depth at this location is > 6.56 ft (200 cm) below grade. Groundwater depth was obtained from the NRCS Web Soil Survey. 4.1 Existing Conditions The existing conditions design values are provided in Table 1. 6" to 12" grasses with sporadic low- lying weeds cover the project area (reference Figure 2). Stormwater from the project site travels down gradient towards the south where it reports to Greeley No. 2 Canal.

The stormwater management systems (i.e. sediment basins) for the site were designed based on the site conditions with solar equipment and the laydown area, which provides a hydrologic "worst case" design. The laydown area will be capped with 4" of CDOT class 5 of aggregate base course (ABC) compacted to 95% standard proctor. For water quality calculations the laydown area and access roads were assigned an assumed imperviousness of 40%. The sediment basin was assigned an assumed imperviousness of 2%. An exemption from impervious calculations is being requested for the remaining areas. Reference Appendix H for composite value for total imperviousness calculations'. The onsite drainage basins (Basin 1 and 2) vary from the existing conditions. The offsite basins effectively did not change. See Drainage Drawings in Appendix K for basin delineations. 4.2.1 Stormwater System Design The stormwater system for the Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility is designed to provide water quality throughout the life of the site. The developed conditions includes one sediment basin on the southeast corner of Basin 1. The remaining area will remain relatively similar to existing conditions. 9 Imperviousness calculations were performed by referencing USDCM-1 Table 6-3 "Recommended Percentage Imperviousness Values" (see Appendix A for more information on USDCM-1) ASCENT E 1 I ii Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility: Preliminary Drainage Report Document: PDR 01 Rev A Page 7 July 2024 4.2.1.1 Sediment Basin Stormwater for Basin 1 will flow southeast across the site and report to the sediment basin on the southwest corner of Basin 1. The modified -FAA method was used to size the Sediment Pond based on the water quality capture volume (WQCV) design storage volume (Design Point 1). The required sediment basin volume is 0.12 ac -ft (5,314 cu -ft). The depth of the proposed sediment basin is 3 feet deep plus a 1.0 ft (minimum) of freeboard above the required storage volume elevation. The sediment basin is graded at 4:1 interior side slopes. The sediment basin design also includes a 15' wide spillway which will also act as a level spreader. 4.2.1.2Best Management Practices The site will not be serviced by a stormwater pond in accordance with Weld County criteria. Stormwater runoff will be treated through Best Management Practices (BMP) to reduce sediment transport from the site. The following BMPs are intended for the site: • Fiber roll, wattles • Revegetation/Mulching o Once construction of the array is complete, existing vegetation or similar short grasses will be reestablished in all disturbed areas where practical. 5. MAINTENANCE PLAN Drainage Basin Inspection of the surface system will include functional and aesthetic needs. Functional maintenance is important for performance and safety reasons and aesthetic is important primarily for public acceptance of stormwater facilities. The removal of debris, sediment, overgrown or weedy vegetation will be prioritized based upon the inspection results. Inspection Inspect BMP's each workday and maintain them in effective operating condition. Maintenance of BMP's should be proactive, not reactive. Inspect BMP's as soon as possible (and always within 24 hours) following a storm that causes surface erosion and perform necessary maintenance. Sediment Basin Sediment basins are a temporary pond and will require only minimal maintenance that may include sediment removal, typically when sediment depth reaches one foot or one-third filled with sediment. ASCENT Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility: Preliminary Drainage Report Document: PDR 01 Rev A Page 8 July 2024 Maintenance frequency depends on the amount of construction activity within the tributary watershed, the erosion control measures implemented, the size of the watershed, and the design of the facility. Maintenance Maintenance activities for sediment basins include the following: • Dredge sediment from the basin, as needed to maintain BMP effectiveness, typically when the design storage volume is no more than one-third filled with sediment. • Inspect the sediment basin embankments for stability and seepage. • Inspect the inlet and spillway of the basin, repair damage, and remove debris. • Be aware that removal of a sediment basin may require dewatering and associated permit requirements. • Do not remove a sediment basin until the upstream area has been stabilized with vegetation. • Sediment basins are to remain in place until the upstream disturbed area is stabilized and grass cover, or other restoration is accepted by the local jurisdiction. • Final disposition of the sediment basin depends on whether the basin will be converted to a permanent post -construction stormwater basin or whether the basin area will be returned to grade. For basins being converted to permanent detention basins, remove accumulated sediment and reconfigure the basin and outlet to meet the requirements of the final design for the facility. If the sediment basin is not to be used as a permanent water quality feature, fill the excavated area with soil and stabilize with vegetation or otherwise stabilized as approved by the local jurisdiction. Mowing and Plant Care When starting from seed, mow native/drought tolerant grasses only when required to deter weeds during the first three years. Following this period, mowing of native/drought tolerant grass may stop or be reduced to maintain a height of no less than 6 inches (higher mowing heights are associated with deeper roots and greater drought tolerance). In general, mowing should be done as needed to maintain appropriate height and control weeds. Mowing of manicured grasses may vary from as frequently as weekly during the summer, to no mowing during the winter. The following is a more detailed guideline for sediment basin maintenance considerations: ASCENT Harper/Kona PV Solar Energy Facility: Preliminary Drainage Report Document: PDR 01 Rev A Page 9 July 2024 Action Maintenance Objective Frequency of Action Lawn mowing and lawn care Occasional mowing to limit unwanted vegetation.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The proposed drainage plan follows Weld County's Charter and County Code (WC-CCC) and the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria (WC-ECC). The rational and modified -FAA method were used to perform many of the calculations for drainage analysis. The design implements a sediment basin during the construction phase which will remain to service the site throughout its life. This report and the calculations have been produced after proper due diligence for the site and surrounding adjacent offsite areas. The drainage design is adequate to protect public health, safety, and general welfare and has no adverse impacts on public rights -of -way or offsite properties. The stormwater management designs provided in this report have been performed in accordance with Weld County requirements.

The intent of this Dust and Weed Mitigation Plan is to provide a comprehensive plan for control of dust, noxious weeds, and any drainage issues that could cause erosion from the solar facility. 1.1 Dust Mitigation During the Construction Phase Water tankers will be used to help control dust while the construction activities are occurring on the site. During the construction of the facility, Syrcuit will exercise Best Management Practices (BMPs) to limit fugitive dust from being airborne and traveling beyond the property lines. Dust control efforts will be monitored by the site foreman on a regular basis to ensure fugitive dust is adequately controlled. Water spray will be applied, as needed, to unpaved areas during periods of dry weather. Care will be taken not to over -apply water and create mud. Vehicle tracking devices will be installed at truck exit drives, per the requirements of Weld County. Vehicles operating on the site during the construction phase will limit their speed to 15 mph or less, to minimize dust emissions. 1.2 Noxious Weed Management The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) and Weld County both require landowners to prevent the spread of State Listed Noxious Weeds. Construction activities on the site have the potential to introduce new noxious weed species to the site or spread existing species on to or off the site. This noxious weed management program was developed to prevent further spread of noxious weeds. Syrcuit will comply with CDA and Weld County regulations through implementation of this plan. Periodic reviews and updates to this plan will be completed as necessary to keep it current with noxious weed control issues. This plan will be implemented throughout the life of the solar facility. Appropriate management actions will be implemented whenever noxious weed species are observed growing within the project area. The goals of weed management are to: 1. Identify and manage noxious weeds within and immediately adjacent to the project areas to be disturbed and after the area has been reclaimed. 2. Conduct pre-treatment and post -treatment evaluations and continue or modify treatment measures as necessary. 3. Minimize the potential for transportation and importation of noxious weed species. 4. Educate field personnel in order to encourage compliance with weed 2 management program goals and assist with identification and control efforts. To prevent or minimize the infestation and spread periodic inspections of the project area during the beginning, middle, and end of the growing season will evaluate presence or absence, degree of invasion, and the response of previous treatments. Syrcuit's operational staff will conduct regular site inspections and ensure implementation of this plan. Specific treatment methodologies and timetables will be developed based on species of concern, location and extent of the infestations), and other pertinent factors. 1.2 (a) Noxious Weed Prevention Noxious weeds are spread through dispersal of seed and/or transport of plant propagules (i.e., spores, seeds, roots, etc.). The most effective way to control noxious weeds is to prevent their introduction into the site in the first place. A combination of methods and practices will be employed to prevent the introduction of weed species and their regeneration within the project area. The following methods and practices may be employed, either singly or in combination, to prevent the introduction of weeds into the solar site: LA thorough cleaning of equipment will be conducted before entering the project area to prevent the introduction of seed and plant propagules from other sites. 2. Seed mixtures used for revegetation or temporary site stabilization will be free of noxious weeds. 3. Hay, straw, and/or other materials used for mulch or other purposes will be certified weed free. 4.A periodic inspection will be conducted to identify any new weed infestations that may have occurred. Any new infestations will be scheduled for management before they become well established and/or spread. S. Communication and coordination with adjacent landowners whose property is infested with noxious weeds that may threaten the site should occur. Establishing partnerships for weed management within the local area is essential for successful long-term weed management. 6. Noxious and pest weed infestations that threaten natural and reclaimed areas will be treated with accepted Integrated Weed Management (11NM) methods. These methods are further discussed below. 1.2(b) Integrated Weed Management OWM) An Integrated Weed Management approach will be implemented for the treatment of noxious weeds within the project area. An IWM approach enables selection of one or more 3 weed management methods based on site specific environmental conditions and control needs. The following weed management methods will be considered for the project area: 1. Cu ltu ra I — Planting native or desirable plant species for site colonization and promoting healthy vegetation communities in reclaimed areas. Prevent unnecessary disturbance through precise planning of construction projects and other activities. Prompt revegetation of disturbed areas. 2. Mechanical — Mowing, pulling, disking, and plowing may be used on weedy species for which these treatments are effective. 3. Biological — Introduction of insects or other biologic agents which are known to inhibit or prevent reproduction of noxious weed species. If biological agents are employed, control methods will be coordinated with the Colorado Department of Agricultural Insectary in Palisade, Colorado. 4. Chemical —Application of appropriate herbicides by a licensed applicator. All herbicides will be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's label and in accordance with Colorado laws. In some cases, only one control method may be warranted, while in other cases a combination of control methods may be appropriate. Control methods selected will be dependent upon species of concern, and the location and extent of the infestation. The use of IWM methods will protect pollinators, reduce hazards to wildlife, reduce the possibility of herbicide resistance, and minimize persistence and mobility of herbicides in the soil. Weed control methods and practices will be applied in a manner that conforms to applicable federal, state, and local laws. 1.2(b)1 —Cultural Control Germination and establishment of noxious weeds can be reduced by following accepted revegetation and vegetation management techniques that favor the growth of desirable plants. These include prompt seeding and revegetation of disturbed areas with appropriate seed mixes, maintaining optimum fertility and moisture levels, planting at optimum density of pure live seed, minimizing use of fertilizers, and selecting suitable species for revegetation. Minimizing areas of disturbance and exposed soil prevents opportunities for aggressive species to establish. A revegetation plan has been developed for the site that utilizes native species that are well- adapted to the site. Seeding native species in conjunction with other management practices will provide some level of competition with noxious weeds and minimize the opportunity for new infestations to become established. 1.2 (b) 2 — Mechanical Control Mechanical Control of noxious weeds can bean effective tool to physically disrupt noxious 4 weed growth and seed development. A combination of mechanical methods may be used including tilling or disking, mowing, hand-held weed trimmers, mulching, hand -pulling, hoeing, or livestock grazing. Mechanical weed control practices must be applied with correct timing to maximize their effectiveness in preventing vegetation development or seed production. Annual weedy species may be readily controlled with mowing or physical removal. Perennial species such as Dalmatian toadflax have extensive root systems. For such weed species, mowing may only control seed production without seriously affecting the plant's survival. Mowing after seed production has occurred may spread the plants. Disking or tilling areas containing perennial noxious species may increase the area of infestation due to root sprouting. In most cases, mechanical control methods used alone are not effective against noxious weed species. 1.2 (b) 3 — Biological Control Biological control of noxious weeds can be an effective tool to physically disrupt plant growth and seed development. A combination of biological methods may be used including introduction of insect weed predators and species -specific plant diseases. Biological weed control methods and practices will be applied with appropriate timing to maximize their effectiveness in preventing seed production. It must be noted that the use of biological controls normally does not eradicate an infestation of weeds; rather they are capable of reducing weed species vigor and reproduction. The Colorado Department of Agriculture's Biological Pest Control Program has on -going biological control programs for several noxious weed species. Note, the use of insect bio-controls typically require large populations of the target weed to sustain the population of bio-control agents. Biological controls should not be expected to eliminate the entire infestation of a noxious weed, but instead to bring the infestation down to a more manageable level. 1.2 (b) 4 — Chemical Control Chemical control of noxious and pest weeds can be an effective tool to disrupt plant growth and seed development. Herbicides can kill targeted species, prevent development and/or germination of noxious weed seed, can be used with minimal disturbance to soils, and in some cases, can be selective to specific species or groups of plants. Herbicides must be applied at the appropriate time to maximize their effectiveness in preventing seed production, for disrupting plant establishment and growth, or achieving kill of noxious species. To avoid development of resistance to a particular herbicide through repeated use over prolonged periods of time, herbicides with varying modes of action to be used. Also, herbicides will be applied according to manufacturer's label recommendations (i.e., application rate, method, and timing) to prevent development of plant resistance. Herbicide selection will be based on weed emergence, timing of application, past applications, and ground and weather conditions during the applications. 5 Successful IWM begins with an understanding of the target plant species and the environment within which it grows. Next, the physiologic effects of an herbicide on plant growth and development must be understood. Understanding a pesticide's chemical nature is also important in minimizing impacts to non -target species, the applicator, endangered species, and pollinators, as well as surface water runoff hazards and leaching into groundwater. Every herbicide label contains information regarding environmental hazards. This information will be evaluated for each herbicide considered for use at the site and herbicides will be selected which pose minimal to no environmental hazards. All pesticides will be handled with care and applied by qualified personnel. Properly identifying the weed problem and the most effective chemical control method for use during the plant growth cycle is critical to effective weed control. Equipment will be properly calibrated before herbicides are applied and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be used. Empty containers will be disposed of promptly, safely and in accordance with product labeling. Herbicides vary in the amount of time after an application before it is safe to re-enter the treated area without protective clothing and equipment. The site re-entry time is affected by the rate of application, size of the area treated and the amount of time to be spent in the field. For the safety of employees and contractors, the Restricted Entry Interval (REI) listed on the herbicide's label will be followed. Appropriate herbicide application records will be maintained as specified by the CDA. 1.2 (c) — Monitoring and Follow -Up Even with effective weed management strategies, it often takes several seasons to eradicate or bring weed populations to an acceptable level. With well -established infestations, it is likely that a seed bank has developed in the soil capable of producing new plants for many years. An infestation of weeds can easily re -invade treated areas in one growing season if control and treatment activities are prematurely curtailed. Weed management efforts should be carried out over an adequate number of growing seasons to realize effective weed management within the target area. As with all weed management, this multi -season effort is best served by effective documentation of control efforts and continued vigilance in successive seasons of management. Information can be used to modify treatment priorities and weed management strategies over time. Vigilance is required against new infestations that may be moving into the site. These new sources of infestation may be worked into prevention and management plans as necessary. This weed management plan will be modified over time as site conditions change. Weed management strategies and priorities can be modified as weed infestations change in response to continued control efforts. 6 1.3 — Drainage and Erosion Control Installation of the solar facility will not alter existing drainage patterns or flow rates on the site and runoff water quality will not be impacted by the solar facility components. Installation of water quality or detention facilities would require clearing, grubbing, grading, and reseeding of a portion of the site and would likely increase the potential for erosion, sediment transport and concentrated flow. Accordingly, water quality and detention are not recommended for this project. Appropriate temporary (construction -related) erosion and sedimentation control Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be applied during the construction phase of the project. The BMPs will be inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper functionality.

Y 267 taw 1 Syrcuit is proposing a 8' tall security fence with a 1' barbed wire arm installed around the entire perimeter of the site. The fence will be screened on the north, south, and west sides of the SEF as those are where the residences within 500 feet are located. The fence along the west side of the SEF will be 8' and have tan screening, based on a discussion with a landowner within 500' of the SEF. Appropriate signage will be placed upon the fencing that warns the public of high voltage within the fence. The "Fence Plan" layout clearly shows the fence location around the SEF and shows that the north, south, and west sides will be screened. The two "Civil Site Plan" drawings show details of both the fencing and the screening around the SEF. Syrcuit is committed to working with these nearby residences throughout the construction and production phases of the SEF. Seeding After construction of the Solar Energy Facility (SEF), Syrcuit will perform required interim reclamation on all areas not required for the production phase of operations. All land will be seeded according to landowner desires and adjacent natural mixes using the below as guidance. 2 SVIRCLI T ENERGY SOLUTIONS Use by Special Review - Harper Kona Solar Energy Facility Light Impact Statement PID 080121000006 Syrcuit Energy Solutions (Syrcuit) will construct the Solar Energy Facility (SEF) during normal daytime hours and therefore no lights will be required on the location during construction or production. However, if for some reason temporary lighting is required during construction operations, all temporary lighting will be downcast and shielded and comply with Section 23-2-250.D of the Code. 1 T ENERGY SOLUTIONS Use by Special Review - Harper Kona Solar Energy Facility Noise Impact Statement PID 080121000006 Syrcuit Energy Solutions (Syrcuit) will comply with Section 14-9-40 of the Weld County Code (Code) related to maximum permissible noise levels for the construction and operation of this proposed Solar Energy Facility (SEF). Construction of the SEF will only take place during normal daytime hours thereby not impacting nighttime hours. Syrcuit will ensure compliance to the 80 dB(A) limit in the Code for "Industrial Area or Construction Activities" for daytime construction activities. Once the SEF is constructed and producing energy, the SEF will comply with the "Nonspecified Areas" limits in the Code. These limits are 55 dB(A) from 7:00am to 9:OOpm and 50 dB(A) from 9:OOpm to 7:OOam. Once producing, the facility will contain monocrystalline modules, inverters, and rows of single -axis trackers. The system consists of string level DC to AC conversion inverters, main e quipment pads with AC Recombiners, switchgear and MV step up transformers that connect to Xcel's grid. The SEF will continuously operate 24/7, but only producing power during daylight hours. The proposed SEF will use single -axis trackers, which will angle the solar modules accordingly as the sun shifts in the sky. These trackers allow for maximized e nergy production. While the array will be running all day, the solar arrays are nearly silent and will not have any noise pollution nor will not have any noise related impacts to the n earby residents. With the above said, Syrcuit will provide 24 -hour, 7 days a week contact information directly to all nearby residents and will post this contact information on the SEF to contact if noise issues arise. If a noise complaint is made to either Syrcuit or to Weld County, noise levels will be measured within 48 hours and Syrcuit will meet with the concerned party to 1 discuss the issue and the noise readings. Syrcuit will take actions to address any noise issues that arise. T ENERGY SOLUTIONS Use by Special Review - Harper Kona Solar Energy Facility Alternatives Statement PID 080121000006 Syrcuit Energy Solutions (Syrcuit) selected this site after thoughtful consideration of the Weld County development standards and Xcel Solar Rewards Community Program requirements. Syrcuit is leasing the lands from Noble Energy Inc. (Noble) to co -exist the Solar Energy Facility (SEF) with existing oil and gas development. The project is in the landowner's best interest, as noted in the executed lease with Noble Energy. Noble currently has three existing oil and gas locations on this parcel with vacant rangeland ground to the west of these locations. Noble does not own any water rights. Adding an SEF right next to oil and gas development is a great use of this current vacant land and proves that different energy projects can co -exist. The payments generated from the leases will provide Noble with diversified sources of income. In contrast to agricultural/ranching earnings, the payments generated by the solar leases will be regular, fixed payments, and will increase annually without fail. The selected parcel does not have agricultural operations and as mentioned above the owner does not have water rights. The surrounding parcels are used for agricultural and farming operations. Placement of this SEF on those parcels would potentially impact those operations. Agricultural operations and energy development in Weld County have a long history of being compatible with each other and this proposed SEF is no exception. The SEF is being proposed to co -exist on a parcel with existing oil and gas development to avoid any impact to any nearby agricultural lands. Syrcuit secured an agreement and a lease for this SEF from the oil and gas company that both owns the land and operates the three oil and gas locations on the parcel. Solar is ultimately one of the best uses that the landowner could pursue in this area. Solar 1 produces no pollutants or contaminants, making it safe for the surrounding mixed uses. Additionally, solar produces no noise pollution, no heavy traffic, and therefore this use will not cause any nuisances. The project is not located within a residential neighborhood and the land will be returned to its current state after the system is retired, as solar is not a permanent use. Syrcuit is solely responsible for the management of all vegetation within the permitted area. This use doesn't conflict with the existing land use and is done with an eye toward improving future land use. Syrcuit will develop solar facilities on lands that produce the highest and best use and intends to leave the land in a better state than when the project began. 2 T ENERGY SOLUTIONS Use by Special Review - Harper Kona Solar Energy Facility Statement of Transportation Construction Impacts PID 080121000006 This Traffic Narrative has been prepared for the proposed Solar Energy Facility (SEF) located along Weld County Road (WCR) 53 north of WCR 66. This narrative is intended to provide traffic -related information and identify potential project impacts to affected roadways within Weld County. The following information is included in this narrative: • Project location, components, and construction schedule. • Designed travel route • Daily vehicle trip generation • Conclusions Project Location, Components, and Construction Schedule Syrcuit Energy Solutions (Syrcuit) proposes the Harper Kona SEF to be placed entirely on Weld County parcel number 080121000006, which is located in the southwest quarter of section 21 Township 6 North Range 64 West. The SEF will have a capacity of roughly 4.3 megawatts and will cover approximately 20.7 acres of the parcel to the west of existing oil and gas locations. The SEF will be designed to ensure appropriate setbacks from the existing wells, equipment, and flowlines on the property. The SEF will use an existing access permit into the SEF from WCR 53. The SEF is located 1,410 feet north from the intersection of WCR 53 and WCR 66. There will be monocrystalline modules, inverters, and rows of single -axis trackers. The system consists of string level DC to AC conversion inverters, main equipment pads with AC Recombiners, switchgear and MV step up transformers that connect to Xcel's grid. To comply with the National Electric Code, there will be a 6' tall security fence with a 1' barbed wire arm installed around the entire perimeter of the site, with a gate located at the 1 access location. The fence and gate will be constructed of 4" X 4" welded rod material. The gate will remain closed and locked at all times except during construction and quarterly maintenance periods. Construction of the SEF will only be conducted during daylight hours. The following is a high- level timetable: • General construction including installation of the fence and tracking systems —10 days. • Installation of the solar panel modules — 45 to 60 days. • Installation of the transformers and switch gears and meters — 90 to 100 days. Designated Travel Route The designated travel route includes state highway 392 to WCR 53 and heading south on WCR 53, then east into the SEF from the access point. Highway 392 is a paved two-lane highway with a posted speed limit of 65 mph. Syrcuit intends to use existing access permit AP16-00527 to access the SEF from WCR 53 and Syrcuit will work with Noble Energy, the owner of the access permit, to ensure 100% compliance with all requirements from the approved access permit. Daily Vehicle Trip Generation During construction: Semi trucks will access the location to transport needed material and equipment based on the below estimates: • Up to 10 semi -trucks to deliver the tracking systems (2,000 to 10,000 estimated gross vehicle weight). • Up to 25 semi -trucks to deliver the solar modules, which typically occurs 45 to 60 days after delivery of the tracking systems (20,000 to 50,000 estimated gross vehicle weight • Up to five semi -trucks to deliver the two transformers and two switch gears, which typically occurs 90 to 120 days after delivery of the solar modules (20,000 to 30,000 estimated gross vehicle weight). Once operational: The SEF will not have any vehicle over a one -ton pickup unless significant equipment replacement must occur. Project -related traffic during all phases will not be significant during AM or PM peak periods. 2 Conclusions 1. Daily project related truck traffic is not expected to impact peak traffic periods. The construction of the SEF should not negatively impact the transportation pattern in the area. 2. As proposed, the SEF is not anticipated to create adverse traffic -related impacts in the area or on Weld County roads. Based on anticipated vehicle type and weight, the SEF is not anticipated to degrade or damage Weld County roads. 3. There are no anticipated improvements required to any Weld County or state highway roads to serve the SEF, since after construction, the SEF is unmanned. Syrcuit agrees to mitigate construction traffic impacts to the areas surrounding the proposed SEF. 3 T ENERGY SOLUTIONS Use by Special Review - Harper Kona Solar Energy Facility Waste Handling Plan PID 080121000006 During the construction phase, waste and debris will be stored in refuge dumpsters, which will be emptied on a regular basis or as needed. All waste will then be disposed of in licensed disposal facilities. Once the facility is operational, there will be no waste or debris produced from the solar operation. Syrcuit Energy Solutions (Syrcuit) will handle, store, and dispose of waste in a manner that controls blowing debris, and other potential nuisance conditions. Syrcuit will operate in accordance with Chapter 14, Article 1 of the Weld County Code. 1 4959070 05/08/2024 08:13 AM Total Pages: 10 R ec Fee: $88.00 Carly Koppes - Clerk and Recorder, Weld County , CO SURFACE LEASE This SURFACE LEASE ("Lease") is effective as of this _ _ ta. day of by and between Noble Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (`{Lessor"), with a mailing address at 1099 18th Street, Suite 1500, Denver, Colorado 80202, and Syrcuit Energy Solutions, Inc., ("Lessee"), with an address at 4627 west 20t Street Road, Greeley, Colorado 80634. aJr CV) , 2024 RECITALS A.

This Lease is governed by and interpreted under the Laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its choice of Law rules, except that rules of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC §§1-16 (the "Act") shall govern this Section 14.2. The Parties shall exclusively and finally resolve any dispute between them using direct negotiations, mediation, and then arbitration as specified in this Lease. If a dispute arising out of this Lease is not resolved by direct negotiations, either Party may initiate mediation by giving notice to the other setting out the disputed issues and the value of the claim.

The place of arbitration must be Denver, Colorado. One arbitrator (or 3 arbitrators if the monetary value of the dispute is more than US$5,000,000 or its currency equivalent, or if there is a dispute whether the monetary value exceeds the US$5,000,000) will conduct the arbitral proceedings in accordance with the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution ("CPR") Rules. To the extent of any conflicts between the Act or the CPR Rules and the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease prevail. The CPR is the appointing authority. The maximum number of witnesses that either Party each may call to give evidence is 3 witnesses of fact and 1 expert witness. The arbitration award is final and binding. Regardless of which Party prevails, all arbitration fees and costs must be paid equally and each Party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs in connection with such arbitration.

Most of the questions focused on access/traffic and dust. Since access into the facility is from the east (WCR 53) that alleviated most of the concerns since the people which attended the community meeting live south and east of the proposed facility. All other questions were answered and the attendees left with Craig and Melissa's contact information should they have any other questions/concerns. 5:00 - Arlene Geary, Daniel Geary and Linda Erbes Departs 5:30 - David E.
