We are a solar project developer working with Xcel Energy to develop a 2- megawatt community solar project on 10-12 acres of Weld County Parcel 1211-101-2-00-018 . Pivot has secured a lease with the landowner, Scott Peterson, and has begun the permitting process with Weld County. On the last page of this letter you' ll see a visual depiction of the proposed location . Pivot anticipates construction to begin in summer of 2020 and will last 12-16 weeks . Once constructed, the project will be surrounded by an 8' tall wildlife friendly fence, similar to what CDOT and CPW use around the state . Pivot will have an operations and maintenance team out to the site 4-8 times annually to perform routine maintenance, project monitoring, and vegetation control . Per Weld County requirements, we are notifying all landowners within 500' of the subject parcel . In addition to notifying you of the project, we wanted to introduce ourselves in case you have any questions about the technology, the development process, or the community this project will serve . We've found solar projects make good neighbors compared to other development alternatives because they create no noise, have no onsite employees, and generate no emissions or traffic after construction . The site is comprised of neat, orderly rows of solar panels and the vegetation is maintained to ensure maximum solar energy production . If you have any other questions regarding our project, please don' t hesitate to reach out via email and I will be happy to address them . We look forward to working with you and the county to make this project a success . Regards, Luke Rickard Director, Project Development Lrickard@pivotenergy. net pivotenergy . net Wad ri • Pivot pppsi► Energy Q & A : • How much noise will the equipment produce? The inverters are the equipment that convert the energy produced by the solar panels ( DC energy) into energy that can be connected into the existing electrical grid ( AC energy) . They make about the same amount of noise as a residential air conditioner. The inverters produce between 50 - 60 decibels. • How tall will the solar array be? The solar panels will be less than 8' tall at the highest point. There will be a small weather sensor located near the equipment pad that will be about 10' tall, and it is about the size of a football. • How tall will the fence be? We install an 8' tall fence around the solar array to keep wildlife out of the project. This is consistent with National Electric Code requirements for this type of facility. • How will you get to the solar array? We will build a soft-surface (gravel ) road from the existing access point along Gemini Lane. Please see the included site diagram as a reference. • How long does construction take? We need about 12-16 weeks to complete construction . • How often do you visit the site once it' s operational ? Typically, we visit the site between 4 — g times annually to perform routine electrical and mechanical testing, and vegetation management. We will use a standard pickup truck during these visits . • Will you grade the site? No. This site has an acceptable grade "as is." We may clear some of the vegetation that's within the fenced area to make the installation easier. • Will you change the existing drainage patterns on the site? No. The existing drainage patterns will remain the same because we will not be grading or moving dirt on the site. The solar array is supported by steel posts that are driven into the ground, resulting in a negligible impact to the site' s overall ability to absorb water . • Why did you choose this location for the solar array? The solar program requires that we connect to the existing power grid . We must find a landowner interested in entering a lease with us who has land near existing electrical distribution lines. The land must also be mostly flat, and not have any major issues that would prevent us from building a solar array pivotenergy . net ergy . net pit1 * ilVO' t 4 Energy Proposed Project Location I Legend • 0. 0 Array Location (Approx. 10 Acres) Jo.- Parcel boundary r ril 1 w i at . r lalkalir - _ •mss - at n 36 I . i 1 $ VC I . wi ` s d t - lR- Illt r ‘ " 1 _ . , % S G ►1 31 f IS I ` , 4 . • P1 i+ J • DI4 _ ra s at. • 41. iliiiiipi - - __ _ —Sa-.4_a" rill - r •..- - . -• - lia .nib • :i 1 'b a isr - _tea e� - - -- _ - . t S �' ' - • __ .- *r -.

We will use a standard pickup truck during these visits . • Will you grade the site? No. This site has an acceptable grade "as is." We may clear some of the vegetation that's within the fenced area to make the installation easier. • Will you change the existing drainage patterns on the site? No. The existing drainage patterns will remain the same because we will not be grading or moving dirt on the site. The solar array is supported by steel posts that are driven into the ground, resulting in a negligible impact to the site' s overall ability to absorb water . • Why did you choose this location for the solar array?

We are a solar project developer working with Xcel Energy to develop a 2- megawatt community solar project on 10-12 acres of Weld County Parcel 1211-101-2-00-018 . Pivot has secured a lease with the landowner, Scott Peterson, and has begun the permitting process with Weld County. On the last page of this letter you' ll see a visual depiction of the proposed location . Pivot anticipates construction to begin in summer of 2020 and will last 12-16 weeks . Once constructed, the project will be surrounded by an 8' tall wildlife friendly fence, similar to what CDOT and CPW use around the state . Pivot will have an operations and maintenance team out to the site 4-8 times annually to perform routine maintenance, project monitoring, and vegetation control . Per Weld County requirements, we are notifying all landowners within 500' of the subject parcel . In addition to notifying you of the project, we wanted to introduce ourselves in case you have any questions about the technology, the development process, or the community this project will serve . We've found solar projects make good neighbors compared to other development alternatives because they create no noise, have no onsite employees, and generate no emissions or traffic after construction . The site is comprised of neat, orderly rows of solar panels and the vegetation is maintained to ensure maximum solar energy production . If you have any other questions regarding our project, please don' t hesitate to reach out via email and I will be happy to address them . We look forward to working with you and the county to make this project a success . Regards, Luke Rickard Director, Project Development Lrickard@pivotenergy. net pivotenergy . net Wad ri • Pivot pppsi► Energy Q & A : • How much noise will the equipment produce? The inverters are the equipment that convert the energy produced by the solar panels ( DC energy) into energy that can be connected into the existing electrical grid ( AC energy) . They make about the same amount of noise as a residential air conditioner. The inverters produce between 50 - 60 decibels. • How tall will the solar array be? The solar panels will be less than 8' tall at the highest point. There will be a small weather sensor located near the equipment pad that will be about 10' tall, and it is about the size of a football. • How tall will the fence be? We install an 8' tall fence around the solar array to keep wildlife out of the project. This is consistent with National Electric Code requirements for this type of facility. • How will you get to the solar array? We will build a soft-surface (gravel ) road from the existing access point along Gemini Lane. Please see the included site diagram as a reference. • How long does construction take?

No. The existing drainage patterns will remain the same because we will not be grading or moving dirt on the site. The solar array is supported by steel posts that are driven into the ground, resulting in a negligible impact to the site' s overall ability to absorb water . • Why did you choose this location for the solar array? The solar program requires that we connect to the existing power grid . We must find a landowner interested in entering a lease with us who has land near existing electrical distribution lines. The land must also be mostly flat, and not have any major issues that would prevent us from building a solar array pivotenergy . net ergy . net pit1 * ilVO' t 4 Energy Proposed Project Location I Legend • 0. 0 Array Location (Approx. 10 Acres) Jo.- Parcel boundary r ril 1 w i at . r lalkalir - _ •mss - at n 36 I . i 1 $ VC I . wi ` s d t - lR- Illt r ‘ " 1 _ . , % S G ►1 31 f IS I ` , 4 . • P1 i+ J • DI4 _ ra s at. • 41. iliiiiipi - - __ _ —Sa-.4_a" rill - r •..- - . -• - lia .nib • :i 1 'b a isr - _tea e� - - -- _ - . t S �' ' - • __ .- *r -.
