NJ Full-Scale Demonstration Project
� Full-Scale Operations— Site Selection— Permitting— Construction— Offloading, Screening, Storage— BioGenesis℠ Sediment Process— Beneficial Use
� Sediment Sources— Raritan River ~ 3,400 CY— Arthur Kill ~ 8,900 CY— Lower Passaic River ~ 2,300 CY

Understanding PAHs – Passaic
� PAH results – Counter-Intuitive— PAH Concentrations Higher in Treated Coarser-Grain Fractions
� 19 Bench Test Runs on Lower Passaic Sediment to Test Treatment MethodsResults:
� PAHs were Primarily Absorbed in Organic Detritus and NOT on the Surface of the Sediment Particles
� Micro-flotation Techniques Can be Used to Remove Organic Detritus

REGIONAL PROCESSING FACILITYAPPROACH
Vision and Implementation
� Regional Processing Concept— Service for all Dredging Markets— Tipping Fee Approach ($/CY)— Sediment Decontamination and Recycle to Topsoil, with
Potential for Other High Value Products— Eliminates Long Term Liabilities
� What is Needed— Volume Commitment— BioGenesis will Finance, Design, Site, and Build a Regional
Processing Facility to meet the Needs of the Region
32
Facility Requirements
� Site Requirements— 15 to 25 acres— Waterfront access— Truck access— Rail access (desirable)
� Processing Facility— 35,000 sft process building (all processing indoors)
� Waterfront Facilities— Minimum of 11 feet of water (mean low tide)— 1,000 linear feet of bulkhead
