EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, LLC (“LBB”) is proposing to convert and upgrade much of the remaining facility equipment and infrastructure located at the former Fraser Pulp Mill (also referred to as the Burgess Mill) in Berlin, New Hampshire (the “Site”) in order to develop a biomass fueled energy generating facility. Berlin BioPower (the “Facility” or the “Project”) will use whole tree wood chips and other low-grade clean wood as fuel, and will be capable of generating nominally 70 megawatts (MW) of electric power (gross output).
