At Peter J. Romano Associates, Inc., we are committed to sustainable development, and represent
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified companies who share our pledge to
continued development of energy efficient construction materials. LEED is an international system of
certification measuring the performance of energy usage, water consumption, reduction of carbon dioxide
emissions and overall improvement of outdoor environmental quality. The use of flyash qualifies for credit
in the LEED rating system, a standard developed by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The U.S. Department of Energy has documented the many environmental and economic
benefits recognized with increased utilization of coal combustion by-products. The use of
flyash in the production of concrete results in dramatic reductions in energy consumption,
carbon dioxide emissions and the amount of solid waste stored in landfills.

The Coal Combustion Products Partnership (C2P2), is a cooperative program between
the Environmental Protection Agency and the Coal Combustion Products Industry formed
to promote the beneficial use of coal combustion products and resulting environmental
benefits. C2P2 is looking for a 50% increase in flyash used for the production of concrete
by the year 2011. Although difficult to track progress, an increase of over 20% has been
seen in just the past three years. C2P2 also hopes to dramatically reduce greenhouse
gas emissions produced during the production of concrete by the year 2011.

The American Coal Ash Association (ACAA) promotes advances in the environmentally
sound and commercially competitive use of Coal Combustion Products. A study by the
ACAA in 2006 revealed that less than half of the more than 70 million tons of flyash
produced annually was being beneficially reused. Of that reuse, only 59% was used in
concrete applications. Many organizations have cooperated in extensive research and
testing to promote increased use of flyash in cement production. The results of their
studies confirm the strength and quality of fly ash concrete.

Peter J. Romano Associates, Inc., has contributed to the dramatic increase in beneficial reuse
of coal combustion products over the last decade. Our extensive involvement in government and
technical organizations like the American Coal Ash Association keeps us at the forefront of policy
change and government incentives. We continue to develop and support new technologies for coal
combustion product reuse, while promoting solutions to environmental challenges.
