ATTACHMENT #4 Utility Committee Meeting of 01/08/2007 December 8, 2006 Dear Schoolview Homeowner: The City of Dover recently received a petition from residents of Schoolview expressing their concern for how adjacent development will impact both storm water and sanitary sewers. A number of residents also came and spoke to the Planning Commission during the public hearing of the Mainstay Suites Hotel site plan. The purpose of this letter is to address the concerns of residents and assure everyone that the City of Dover is working hard to protect the interests of our citizens. I would like to answer the main questions we have received: Will sewage from the Stover Professional Center flow into Schoolview’s sewer lines? The plans for the Stover Professional Center which include the Mainstay Suites Hotel on Lot #2 have been approved so that the sewer lines from the project will be connected to sewer line in Schoolview. Sewage will then flow to a pump station on Roberta Avenue. From there, it will be pumped to pipes in South Little Creek Road and will flow across Route 13 toward a large Kent County sewer pump station on Water Street (Pump Station #3). There are three reasons for this plan. 1. The developer of the adjacent land will pay for enlarging and modernizing the Schoolview Pump Station. This is to the benefit of Schoolview residents, and it lowers the cost to the City and ultimately its residents by having the developer modernize the pump station. 2. This plan eliminates the need for an additional pump station which would, in the long run, cost the City and ultimate our residents more to maintain over time. 3. It supports our commitment to Kent County to divert sewage from Pump Station #3. The Schoolview subdivision and any sewer connected to it is scheduled to be diverted to the Kent County sewer bypass on the east side of Dover. Will this cause sewage to back up into homes in Schoolview like it did in the 1990s? Engineering studies provided to the City have shown that once the Schoolview Pump Station is enlarged and modernized, it will be able to handle the entire project from the Stover Professional Center. The existing pipes are also large enough to handle the flow. However, it is important to note that each time a new building is considered by P.O. Box 475, Dover, DE 19903-0475 Community Excellence Through Quality Service

Page 24

Schoolview Residents December 8, 2006 Page 2 Planning Commission, the sewer flow will be re-evaluated. If it is found that there is not enough capacity, then the project will not move forward unless a solution is found. The enlargement and modernization of the station Includes: 1. Making the station (which is mostly underground) twice as large; 2. upgrading pumps, making them more reliable for everyone; 3. adding a diesel powered pump that will automatically turn on if power fails (currently we must bring in a portable generator), making the station more dependable for everyone; and 4. adding a screen so that the pump station will be less visible to neighbors. Will the hotel and other projects be allowed to open before the Schoolview Pump Station enlargement and modernization are completed? No. A Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued until the improvements are done. Construction of the building and improvement of the station are likely to be constructed concurrently. Will the construction impact our private property? No. Most Schoolview residents will not even see the construction. All connections are through public rights-of-way. There is another hotel proposed for 1166 S. Bay Road. Will this sewer be handled the same way? No. The proposed hotel is going into a Kent County sewer line on Bay Road. Does sewage from the Blue Hen Corporate Center flow into Schoolview? What if they expand? It does not and will not if there are expansions to the existing buildings. However, if new buildings are proposed between the Blue Hen Corporate Center and the Schoolview subdivision, how sewer is handled will have to be evaluated. There are no current plans of which I am aware. Is there anything I can do to protect my basement from sewer backups? Sewage backing up into homes can occur anywhere in the City due to blocked sewer lines. These can be blocked from roots, collapsed pipes, grease, and other inappropriate material flushed into the system. Homes in Schoolview were built with basement floor drains that go into the sewer systems. These types of drains are

Page 25

Schoolview Residents December 8, 2006 Page 3 no longer permitted in new construction due to their susceptibility to backups. Many residents in Schoolview have capped them.. We suggest you have your drain capped, too, if you have not already done so. If you are not sure if your drain has been capped, please call the City at 736-7060. We will inspect your home and provide you with a cap if necessary. Will storm water from these developments flow into Schoolview? No, The Stover Professional Center will have its own common storm water retention pond for its buildings and roads. The storm water system will have to be functioning before any new buildings are occupied. Each new building will require the storm water issue to be re-evaluated. Clear water has been seeping into my basement. Will the Stover Professional Center make it worse:? This clear water is groundwater--not any kind of sewage. The whole City has been experiencing higher groundwater levels over the past few years due to several rainy years after a long period of dry weather. What you are experiencing is occurring in many older developments that have basements. As homes age, small cracks in the foundation occur. The new developments will not have any effect—positive or negative on this situation. I hope that this letter answers all your questions and reassures you that all of us at the City of Dover are working hard to protect the interests of our citizens. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 736-7005. My e-mail address is tdeprima@dover.de.us. Sincerely, Anthony J. DePrima, AICP City Manager AJD/clc c:/Tony/City Manager/Schoolview-Sewer

Because the units ran out of merit order, a negative gross margin (or loss on generation) of $349,132 was realized. During the month of November, North American Energy Services reported that there were no lost time accidents, OSHA reportable incidents or environmental Notice of Violations. Costs attributable to the operations of the McKee Run and VanSant stations were $118,427 below a budget of $392,559 due to timing of insurance expenses and lower than budgeted overtime, an open operator position and scheduling of certain maintenance activities. For power year 2006-07, operations are $600,657 below a budget of $2,365,383 (~25% below budget). Fuel nozzles were also replaced at the Van Sant combustion turbine successfully addressing a technical issue that arose this past summer. Energy and Risk Management Wholesale load for the month of November was 58,141 MWh’s verses a three year historic load of 58,000 MWhs or 141 MWhs above the three year average. Purchased power (or hedges) accounted for 60,720 MWH’s of this volume at a cost of $4.47 million. Purchases and sales as well as other PJM related charges accounted for an additional cost of $119,160 inclusive of all load related fees. Total purchased power costs for the month of November was $4.57 million resulting in an all in cost of power with fees of $82.89/MWh or $1.11 below the targeted annual average of $84.00/MWh. Dover remains calculated to be 96% hedged on peak and 100% hedged off peak for an anticipated all in delivered cost of $83.77 for the 2006/2007 power year. Hedging has begun for the 2007-2008 power year and currently Dover is hedged 72% on peak and 68% off peak with a at market expected price of $83.41/MWh delivered to the Dover bus for the power year before any incentive fee paid to the Energy Manager. All purchases are with investment grade entities. Based on current market conditions, certain hedges have moved to be “out of the money” or possess a negative market value to Dover. Credit is not currently required to be posted by the counterparties but such position is being closely monitored by Pace Asset Management.

The line outage work will continue in December and possibly into January 2007. Also during the month of November, Unit 11 at VanSant Generating Facility was put into a scheduled five day maintenance outage in order to change out the fuel nozzles that had recently been purchased from General Electric. The work was completed two days early and upon completion of the work, the unit was started up and put on line to verify proper operation of the unit. The unit was tested when operating on natural gas and on the number two fuel oil. In both instances, particularly during the oil test, the high exhaust temperature spreads present with the old fuel nozzles in place, were no longer present with the replacement nozzles. Exhaust temperature spreads are now in an acceptable range. Inspection of the removed nozzles found oxidation and pitting on the fuels tips which will require repairs and flow testing. The plant is currently evaluating options on these repairs. Other Events Proprietary & Confidential 5 PACE - NAES Monthly Report (Nov. 2006) - U Jan. 8, 2007 - 5.doc

Operation of the units to support the City of Dover’s 69KV line outages with scheduled dates in November and December has begun. During the line outages in November, Unit 3 was put on line to support the Dover Load and for voltage support in various sections of the city. During the December time frame, the McKee Run generating units will undergo emission testing as required by the McKee Run Title V Operating Permits. The test schedule has been approved by DNREC and emission testing on Units 1, 2 & 3 will begin during the week of December 11. When Units 1, 2 and 3 are operated in the December time period, the units will also be required to perform capacity tests as required by PJM for the winter season and the requested exemption would not apply. In November, the plant provided DNREC with additional information and an expected completion schedule for the API 653 external inspection of the #1 fuel oil tank, per their request. We continue to work on getting information to DNREC in order to provide them with enough information to approve a two year variance on an internal inspection of the tank. We are also proceeding with cleaning of the #2 fuel oil tank that is now empty so that it can be assessed for either use as a holding tank for the remaining fuel in the #1 fuel tank or to take the tank completely out of service.

6.24, did not meet the required hourly water-to-fuel injection rate of 6.26, as required by our Title V Operating Permit for the VanSant Generating Facility. The root cause of the deviation has not yet been determined and is still under investigation. Emissions Allowances For the month of November 2 tons of SOx and 1 ton of NOx were emitted. Emissions verse banked allowances are cited below; Tons emitted Tons emitted year to Tons in Inventory current month date SOx 4 36 2,718 NOx 1 25 197 Current market pricing for allowances are $485/ton for SOx and $675/ton for NOx Safety During the month of November, there was one minor injury report. The minor injury occurred when an employee twisted his ankle on uneven pavement just outside the maintenance shop. The injury did not require medical attention and therefore does not require reporting under OSHA guidelines. The area has been identified with bright yellow paint to alert other employees to the potential tripping hazard. The station operations worked 5,454 hours without an OSHA reportable incident or lost time accident. There have been 574 days since the last OSHA reportable incident or lost time accident (April 5, 2005) Generation Financial Performance Per the table below, the McKee and VanSant station experienced a net gross margin loss of $349,133 on energy sales for the month of November due to the fact the units ran out of merit (reliability reasons) to support transmission related work performed by the City’s electric distribution department.

RISK MANAGEMENT 2006 - 2007 Power Year Hedge Position As of December 5, estimated power consumption for Power Year 2006-2007 was hedged at 96% on peak and 100% off-peak. Hedge volumes are based on the three year historical load profile of Dover at the Dover bus prior to any distribution losses to the retail meter. As shown below at these hedge levels an all in price to Dover is estimated at $83.77/MWh for the 2006/2007 power year. The 10 day value at risk (with an adverse market movement in commodity and load following) could increase this target number to $85.40/MWh.

APPENDIX 2 PJM INVOICE BREAKDOWN The PJM bill is a record of all Electricity Transactions, Transmission Services, Ancillary Services and Miscellaneous fees that allow the PJM to operate. Below is a list of the line items on the PJM bill including all generator activity. Generation Load Total Due to the Settlement of Transmission Rate Case ER05-515: Pepco/ Dpl the city is entitled to an estimated refund of $512,640 to be spread over 12 months beginning in June -06. The credit comes through on the PJM bill as a reduction in the rate charged by DPL for Network transmission service. Pace will track this credit to ensure the proper refund is received by the city. The savings by month is as follows: June-06: $91,577.42 July-06: $94,630.00 Aug-06: $94,630.00 Sept-06 $91,577.42 Oct-06 $94,630.00 Nov-06 $94,630.00 (being researched, appears to be an over refund) Note: There will be many various prior period adjustments that will flow through on every invoice. These adjustments are for the most part small. However, unless the city has made an agreement these prior periods adjustment should be billed back to Duke.
