PROJECT CHALLENGES

• Additional Characterization is Required to Define Scope of Remediation

• Property Indenture Introduces Uncertainties With Shoreline Access and FERC Approvals

• Targeted LTP Schedule for NRC Approval, a Critical Path Activity, is <50% of Previous Industry Best X LTP Reflects Lessons Learned From Other Facilities

REGULATORY PERMITTING PROCESS Non-RCRA CAP Status Requires a Yankee-Conceived Site Closure Process

• Number and Variety of Required Permits Requires Extensive Stakeholder Interaction Campaign o Constructive Engagement With Regulators Will Enhance Permit Timeliness

• Long Lead Time Permit Submittals Depend on Completion of Environmental Characterization X To Date, Stakeholder Interaction and Opposition Impact has Been low YNE

The requestedLTP review interval is aggressive, but achievable

• Ycankee Rowe is a comparatively clean site

• Substantial prior characterization has been performed and additional workl is underway

• Process familiarity developed fronm past experience (CY) and industry lessons learned
