KEMA d ratepayers. Mr. Millar also wrote the Climate Action Plan document, which was presented to Platte River's Board of Directors and made available to the public. • Southern California Edison Sustainable Communities. Mr. Millar has provided greenhouse gas emissions consulting for Southern California Edison's Sustainable Communities Program. He has written policy white papers on California's SB 375 and the revised CEQA guidelines accounting for climate impacts in environmental reviews. He has also developed a calculator for developers who wish to understand energy and greenhouse gas savings through energy efficiency and renewable energy investments for master planned community scale developments. • Confidential Client, U.S. Cap- and -Trade Policy Analysis. Mr. Millar wrote a summary of current and potential Cap -and -Trade regimes in the United States for a European energy firm. KEMA developed an analysis to help the firm decide whether or not to enter the U.S. market. Mr. Millar wrote a section of the report that surveyed the current status and designs of the emerging cap- and -trade markets for AB32, the Western Climate Initiative, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Mr. Millar also discussed current federal initiatives including climate change bills in congress as well as executive action likely to be taken by the Obama administration. • Green Building Certification Institute — As a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP), Mr. Millar reviews LEED applications for New Construction projects. Through this work, he has gained a through knowledge of the LEED NC system and common strategies for achieving LEED credits. • California Climate Action Registry Greenhouse Gas Inventory Verifications: Mr. Millar, a California Climate Action Registry Lead Verifier at Tetra Tech EM Inc., performs greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory verifications services. Verification consists of an independent third party review of emissions data submitted to the Registry via the online reporting tool CARROT. Review activities include kickoff meetings, site visits, data management systems review, error risk assessment, data sampling, and emissions recalculations. Inventory methodologies are reviewed for compliance with the Registry's general and power /utility reporting protocols. Mr. Millar works with the Registry and the client in order to publicly report emissions to a 95% standard of accuracy. Mr. Millar has provided emissions verification services for over 15 clients including municipalities, electric utilities and power generators, water and solid waste agencies, telecommunications providers, and others. • Greenhouse Gas Inventory for Qwest Communications USA: Mr. Millar was the technical lead for comprehensive GHG consulting services for Qwest Communications Inc. (Qwest). Starting in 2007, Tetra Tech calculated the greenhouse gas footprint of Qwest's nationwide operations according to the California Climate Action Registry General Reporting Protocol. Mr. Millar worked with Qwest to inventory all fuel use in vehicles, generators and buildings, as well as all purchased electricity from over 700 electric accounts. The necessary data was collected, organized and calculated under a demanding time schedule such that emissions estimates could be reported with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Upon completion of the project, Tetra Tech made recommendations for improving data management systems for more accurate accounting of GHG emissions in future inventories. Mr. Millar and his team expanded the scope of emissions quantification in 2008 by conducting a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory for calendar year 2007. This was an inventory of all six Kyoto gasses emitted directly, indirectly, and neither directly or indirectly. The latter category, known in the Kyoto Protocol as "Scope 3" included emissions associated with employee flying and emissions avoided from recycling. Once the emissions calculations are complete, Tetra Tech will make recommendations for programs designed to improve efficiency, save money, promote greening, and decrease emissions. 2
