Takeaway: Use of SandTec Results in M&R Equipment Savings of $0.80 - $1.28/ton of sand.

Takeaway: Being Above the AL can add Significant Monitoring Costs and Regulatory Requirements.

Assumptions for IH Monitoring Costs:• Perform (1) month of RCS sampling at hydraulic fracturing sites located in the Permian Basin of West Texas and within (3) hours’ drive from Midland, TX. • A quantity of (6) personnel monitors and (4) area monitors will be required per site per shift. • Operations are 24 hours per day with a (12) hour day shift and a (12) hour night shift. • There will be (26) days of operations per calendar month.• The final report to include all data and calculations required to determine Exposure Levels for total dust, total respirable dust, and total respirable crystalline silica dust, and to provide

the determination if the results indicate exceeding the PEL of 0.05 mg/m3, within the Action Level between 0.025 mg/m3 to 0.05 mg/m3, or below 0.025 mg/m3.• Personnel are responsible for all transportation to/from the site(s), lodging, meals, PPE, etc.
