A CORONAVIRUS MESSAGE

During these uncertain times, the health of our staff and clients is of the utmost priority as we navigate the COVID-19 situation. At this point, as an essential business, Cameron-Cole is open and providing our environmental management services while following the CDC recommendations with the appropriate measures to protect our staff both in the office and at client sites.

We have provided our staff with the CDC recommendations and tips to stay healthy and prevent the spread of germs, and what to do if they or a member of their household becomes sick. Any staff member that is feeling unwell or has traveled to a city or country that has a higher CDC level of COVID-19 risk is required to stay home and self-quarantine.

We have also implemented work-at-home options, conducting teleconferencing and video calls in lieu of in-person meetings, and for those offices manned by essential personnel we are limiting visitor access, practicing social distancing, and have increased office sanitation procedures. We have prohibited all non-essential business travel.

For our field staff who are visiting client project sites, we have advised staff to avoid areas where people gather and we require our staff to wear nitrile gloves prior to touching any surfaces while on client premises, as well as when in contact with any equipment or surfaces that may be open to the public (e.g., gas stations) and client employees. We have instructed staff to dispose of the gloves before entering their vehicles. Furthermore, because the COVID-19 virus may survive on plastic and steel for 2-3 days, company vehicle use is limited to one person per weekly assignment to eliminate multiple users of the vehicle during the week.

We thank you for your understanding as we respond to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation and will continue to keep you updated on our procedures as the situation changes. If you have any questions as to how the coronavirus outbreak may be affecting our business relationships, please contact us directly.

CARB Accredits CAMERON-COLE

On January 22, 2020, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) accredited Cameron-Cole, LLC to perform verifications under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard Regulation (LCFS). We are among the first group of verifications bodies to receive this accreditation.

Cameron-Cole is approved to conduct verification services for the following report types:

• Fuel Pathway Applications and Fuel Pathway Reports

• Quarterly Fuel Transactions Reports for Alternative Fuels

• Petroleum-Based Fuel Reports: Quarterly Fuels Transactions Reports submitted by producers and importers of gasoline or diesel, Crude Oil Quarterly and Annual Volumes Reports, and Project Reports as listed in section 95500(e)

• Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Reports

The LCFS is designed to decrease the carbon intensity of California's transportation fuel pool and provide an increasing range of low-carbon and renewable alternatives, which reduce petroleum dependency and achieve air quality benefits. The LCFS relies on accurate data monitoring, reporting, and verification to support implementation and tracking of effectiveness. In 2018, CARB approved amendments to add third-party verification requirements to the LCFS to ensure data completeness, accuracy, and conformance with the regulation—consistent with the verification programs under California’s Cap-and-Trade Program and international best practices.
