A=COM a 525 West Ridge Pike, Suite £-100 Conshohocken, PA 19428, Project name: Wonder Group. Inc. West Orange. NJ Expansion Date: August 26, 2024 To: Jason Bottcher Associate Director — Governance at Wonder Wonder Group, Ine. Memo Subject: Proposed Expansion of West Orange Meat Smoking Operation Introduction AECOM Technical Services Inc. (AECOM) was retained by Wonder Group, Inc. (V/onder) to review its proposed operational expansion at its West Orange, NJ meat smoking facility for potential impacts on local air quality. Wonder currently manages a meat smoking operation with four (4) wood-fired units and is proposing to expand its meat smoking operation by constructing a new smoking shed that will allow for the installment of additional wood-fired meat smokers. This wauld increase the capacity of the facility ta twelve (12) wood-fired smokers total. To address public concern about this expansion’s potential impact on air quality, specifically impacts of particulate matter (PM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) AECOM has estimated the potential impacts to ambient air quality as a result of the proposed expansion. Stack testing was conducted on ane of the existing smokers to obtain representative emission rates of PM and PAH, which were then used for the dispersion modeling to estimate the air quality impact of the project. Facility Location The Wonder facility is located in West Orange, New Jersey, as shown in Figure 1.
