Incident Number: 26-00250 Incident Date: 01/12/2026 Page 7 of 12 Incident Location: 3825 HIGUERA South Incident City, State, Postal Code: San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Incident Date: 01/12/2026 Additional Narratives Authored Authored By Date SYNOPSIS Joshua Daniel Fire This report documents the investigation into the origin and cause of a commercial Marshal building Fire that involved a lithium battery thermal runaway. SOURCE OF ACTIVITY On January 12, 2026, at approximately 0824, San Luis Obispo County Dispatch received a 911 emergency call reporting smoke and Flames seen at 3825 South Higuera, San Luis Obispo, CA. 93401 in San Luis Obispo County. At approximately 0825 hours, while working my regular schedule as the SLO Fire Department (SLOFD) Fire Marshal (PREV20), I responded code 3 From my office at SLOFD Station 1, 2160 Santa Barbara Ave., San Luis Obispo, CA. I arrived at the Fire scene at approximately 0838 hours and cleared it at approximately 1730 hours. OBSERVATIONS/ACTIONS Upon my arrival, I observed Battalion 3 (BC3), Truck 1 (T1), Engine 4 (E4), and Engine 3 (E3) entering the 10,000-square-foot commercial structure to begin a Fire attack and ladder the roof For ventilation. I observed Faint smoke coming From the southeast (A-D corner) of the building. I reported to the Higuera IC and was originally assigned to Safety; my role later changed to Medical Group Supervisor. I conducted a 360-degree building inspection and spoke with representatives From the ESAero business to confirm that no one had medical needs. No medial needs were requested. I then walked to nearby businesses and asked them to remain inside and turn off the HVAC due to smoke drifting southeast From the building. I contacted an SLO PD officer and asked whether we could expand the safety zone to keep people out of harm's way from the smoke. SLO PD officers assisted in expanding the perimeter. I then contacted the standby ambulance and confirmed they were on the Tac 1 radio channel. 1 assisted in setting up a rehab location with all necessary supplies. After suppression efforts were effective, I was then assigned to the Fire Investigations lead. My investigation report is available in the Image Trend Fire Investigation reporting system for further details. INVESTIGATION My investigation actions and Findings are based on a scientific examination of the Fire's origin and cause. Methodology The methodology I utilized during this investigation consisted of identifying all available data For origin determination, including witness accounts, an initial scene assessment, development of a preliminary fire spread hypothesis, an in-depth examination of the fire scene, reconstruction of the fire scene, development of a final Fire spread hypothesis, and identification of the fire's origin. I identified all available data for cause determination, including ignition sources, fuel packages, oxidizers, and circumstances. I used all available resources to develop fire -cause hypotheses and determine which best fit the credible data to identify the cause of this Fire. During my investigation, I obtained witness statements. I conducted the interviews in Full uniform. The Following is a summary of the statements I collected. Systematic Approach I began my investigation by systematically walking through the Fire scene, from exterior to interior, and gathering all available data to determine where and how the Fire started.

Thank you to everyone involved in repackaging and relocating the batteries outside the city. The Fire Department has lifted the air monitoring requirements previously imposed on ES Aero. This public safety measure is no longer necessary. Thank you to the ES Aero staff far recognizing the public safety risks associated with storing the drums in the parking lot during repacking and storage.

CA 93401-5240 805,781.7380 slobly.tiq Subject Response to Extension Request — ESAero Facilities February Oh, 2026 C.M. Florence, AICP Oasis Associates, Inc. 3427 Miguelito Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 On behalf of: Empirical Systems Aerospace, Inc. (ESAero) RE: Response to Request for Extension — SLOFD Fire Inspection Reports 3825 South Higuera Street; 3534 Empleo Street; 3580 Sueldo Street San Luis Obispo, California Ms. Florence, The City of San Luis Obispo Fire Department has reviewed the January 29, 2026, request submitted by Oasis Associates on behalf of Empirical Systems Aerospace, Inc. (ESAero) requesting a one -month extension of time to resolve outstanding violations identified in the December 1 and December 2, 2025, Fire Inspection Reports. After careful review, the request for extension is denied. This determination is made pursuant to the authority of the California Fire Code (CFC) as adopted and amended by the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code (SLOMC), Title 15, and is based on the current life -safety conditions, the unresolved status of multiple inspection items, and the existence of an active post -fire incident at 3825 South Higuera Street resulting in hazardous waste that pose a significant threat to public safety. Clarification of Items Listed as "Resolved" Your correspondence indicates that certain items have been resolved, including signage to the Fire Alarm Control Panel. This item has not been verified or approved by the San Luis Obispo Fire Department, nor has any evidence of compliance been submitted, as previously stated in the Fire Department's January 6, 2026, correspondence. Pursuant to CFC Section 104.2, approval of corrective actions is subject to verification by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Until field verification occurs, this item remains unresolved. Correction to Inspection Schedule Your letter incorrectly states that inspections will be conducted at both the South Higuera and Empleo facilities on February 12, 2026. For clarity, the Fire Department confirms the following: Fire and Life Safety inspections are scheduled for February 12, 2026, at the following locations only: o 3534 Empleo Street 0 3580 Sueldo Street 3825 South Higuera Street — Separate and Distinct Timeline The building at 3825 South Higuera Street is on a separate, independent enforcement timeline due to the improper storage and accumulation of lithium -ion batteries in excess of allowable quantities, which resulted in a fire on January 12, 2026. • The factory/manufacturing area was inspected on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. • This inspection is a post -fire incident inspection conducted pursuant to CFC Sections 104.2, 107.7, 320, 5001, and 5003. • This inspection is not a follow-up to the prior Fire and Life Safety inspection, nor does it constitute clearance of previously cited violations. • The follow-up Fire and Life Safety inspection for 3825 South Higuera Street will need to be rescheduled and remain in flux, due to higher -priority life -safety and environmental issues, including hazardous waste awaiting classification and removal. Definition and Proper Use of "As -Built" Documents For clarity, the Fire Department finds it necessary to formally define the term "as -built" as referenced in the extension request. Under the California Building Code (CBC) and California Fire Code (CFC), as -built (also commonly referred to as record drawings) means the final set of construction documents that accurately reflects the work performed in compliance with approved permits, reviewed plans, and required inspections. As -built drawings document approved field modifications made during construction after permit issuance, and they are submitted to verify conformance, not to establish approval. As -built drawings: • They are derived from previously approved plans. • Reflect permitted and inspected construction. • Are used to document minor, approved field changes; and • Do not authorize new work or retroactively approve unpermitted construction. Improper Use of "As -Built" in Extension Request The Fire Department finds that the term as -built has been improperly used in the extension request to describe proposed documentation for work that was not permitted, reviewed, or approved at the time of construction. Pursuant to the California Building Code and California Fire Code, construction or installation performed without required permits or approvals constitutes unpermitted or illegal work. Such work cannot be legitimized through the submission of as -built drawings, nor can as -built documentation be used as a substitute for plan review, permit issuance, or inspection_ Any reference to "as -built" documentation for the following is incorrect: • Unpermitted rooms, enclosures, or structural modifications. • Fire protection systems installed without hire Department approval. • Hazardous materials rooms or suppression systems constructed without permits; or • Any construction that occurred outside the scope of approved plans. Unpermitted or illegal construction must be addressed through the appropriate enforcement, plan review, and permitting process, as required by the CBC, CFC, and SLOW Title 15. Outstanding Documentation Request The Fire Department further notes that an email sent on January 7, 2026, requesting additional documentation has not received a response. Pursuant to CFC Section 104.3, the following materials are required: • A copy of the city -approved plans for the 16-foot by 14-foot "inspection room" located at 3825 South Higuera Street. • A copy of the Fire Department —approved plans for the dry chemical extinguishing system serving the inspection room; and • A copy of all city -approved plans for all electrical and mechanical equipment installed during the time of occupancy. • Any associated permit numbers, approval records, or inspection documentation related to both the inspection room, the extinguishing system, electrical equipment, and mechanical equipment. Consultant Identification Request Consistent with prior conversations between ESAero staff at the time of all failed fire and life safety inspections at all three locations, and conversations with the same staff as well as Oasis Associates. Pursuant to CFC Section 104.2.2, the Fire Department is formally requesting a complete list of consultants retained by ESAero to perform the prescribed corrective and post -incident work. Please provide the names, disciplines, and roles of all consultants currently engaged, including but not limited to: • Fire Protection Engineers • Environmental or Industrial Hygiene Consultants • Structural, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineers • Hazardous Materials or Waste Management Consultants Additional Information to Expedite Review In the meantime, any documentation of previously approved items for any of the three buildings would be helpful and may expedite the review. City staff are currently retrieving all available building and fire records, including approved plans, permits, and inspection history. Enforcement and Compliance Failure to comply with the Fire Code, including performing work without permits or mischaracterizing unpermitted construction, may result in enforcement action pursuant to CFC Sections 109.2 and 113, and SLOMC Title 15. Conclusion Given the multiple unresolved violations, lack of verification of claimed corrections, outstanding documentation, improper characterization of unpermitted work, and the seriousness of the January 12, 2026, Iithium-ion battery fire incident, the Fire Department cannot grant an extension at this time. ESAero is expected to continue corrective actions and comply fully with applicable permitting and enforcement requirements. Sincerely, Joshua Daniel, M.P.A.

Jac, Here is a very brief breakdown of what we need for each building site for follow-up. 3534 Empleo: has one listed violation, but has issues that need to be discussed as we discussed today. Mattie and Julianna will want to see the progress listed in the Inspection Notes. That may not be a physical inspection; it may just be sitting down in a conference room and providing information to the team. Like providing us with the list of names, disciplines, and roles to improve the building's situation. 3580 Sueldo: no violation is showing in the Violation Count, but the next column shows Passed: NO; did not pass the fire inspection. Mattie added the "violation" to the user notes to work with ESAero toward full compliance. This building is also a discussion (much like today) of the progress ESAero has made in addressing the issues noted in the notes. Like providing us with the list of names, disciplines, and roles. What is the status of the evaluations, and from whom did these evaluations come? We will also need those reports for our records. 3825 South Higuera: has a separate and distinct timeline. The factory/manufacturing area is scheduled for inspection on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. 81 This inspection is a post -fire incident inspection. This inspection is not a follow-up to the prior Fire and Life Safety inspection, nor does it constitute clearance of previously cited violations. The follow-up Fire and Life Safety inspection for 3825 South Higuera Street will need to be rescheduled and remain in flux, due to higher -priority life -safety and environmental issues, including hazardous waste awaiting classification and removal. hope this helps everyone understand the purpose of tomorrow's inspection and the one scheduled for the 12th.

(ESAero) 3825 SOUTH HIGUERA STREET and 3534 EMPLEO STREET, SLO CA REQUEST FOR EXTENSION Dear Fire Marshal and Ms. Bliss, Thank you for your time, consideration, and focus to assist ESAero with the incident itself and the aftermath of the unfortunate event that occurred on Monday, 12 January 2026. We all appreciate the level of collaboration, as it reflects both the City's direction and ESAero's obligation to address these serious and important items in a transparent and lawful manner. Unfortunately, given the circumstances, our ability to immediately resolve the items noted in the 01 and 02 December 2025 SLOFD Fire Inspection Reports has been severely hampered. As noted in the previous extension request, dated 23 December 2025, some of the noted items have been resolved, e.g., signage to the Fire Alarm Control Panel and the addition of the facility to the Hazardous Waste Generator Program under CUPA permit. We continue to work diligently with our consultant team to correct the balance. As you know, ESAero's priority is to return the manufacturing portion of the S. Higuera facility to full operations as soon as practicably possible, while fully resolving the corrections. To that end, environmental sampling/testing and cleaning has been on -going and will continue until your department, et al. inspect and, ultimately, deem the facility approved for reoccupation. The office portion of the facility will be the next priority, while we continue to pursue the resolution of inspection items. I understand that your inspection schedule is dependent upon ESAero's receipt of the final test results in the manufacturing area of the S. Higuera facility. That inspection is tentatively scheduled for either Thursday, 05 February or Friday, 06 February. Inspections of both the S. Higuera and Empleo sites are anticipated to occur on Thursday, February 12 to review the status of outstanding items, as well as current operations. Below is an overview of our activities to better assess the situations and establish realistic expectations. SOUTH HIGUERA FACILITY • The Manufacturing Area — This area of the facility should be ready from an environmental perspective for your .inspection on 05/06 February. We are currently working with our electrical engineer and structural engineer to design a festoon electrical 3427 Mlguelito Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805.541,4509 p 805-546,0525 1 www.oaslsassoc,"rn CP 1)10415 .

This aspect necessarily includes design, procurement, and installation of the new system. While the consulting engineers are designing a code compliant system and preparing plans and calculations, accordingly, to expedite the installation, we will ultimately prepare an as -built application to submit to the Community Development Department/Building Division. With regards to the Inspection Room. Our consulting Fire Protection Engineers (FPE) are preparing an analysis and recommendations for the appropriate fire suppression system for this room and its contents. This report should be available on or before the proposed 05/06 February inspection. Our goal is to retain a design/build C-10 & C-16 fire sprinkler contractor, who will prepare the plans based upon the FPE's recommendations. Again, this system could be installed and operationally tested by SLOFD with a subsequent lodging of an as -built application or, if time allows a more traditional permit process. The Layup Room design is also being analyzed/peer reviewed by our structural engineer, electrical engineer, FPE, and mechanical engineer. We have asked our team to make the manufacturing area and the Inspection Room the priorities for now but anticipate that the Layup Room would be processed as a traditional permit application, although we would request an expedited plan check review. The Office Area — Again, the focus has squarely been on the manufacturing area, but the next priority is the office area and the adjacent Annex, where the fire originated. The plan is to perform environmental testing and waste classification, removal the flooring, cubicles, and related materials as well as office amenities, perform cleaning as required, and then complete environmental testing that will be submitted to your department before scheduling a re -occupancy inspection. EMPLEO FACILITY The consultant team is actively working on the tasks noted below that will not only address the SLOFD's Inspection Report items but assist ESAero to make an informed decision whether this building is physically and economically suitable for their purposes. • The architects are analyzing the occupancy of the building in addition to the disposition of the sea/storage containers, i.e., setbacks, requisite building parking spaces, separation and working with FP) rs, accordingly. ■ The structural engineer has determined that the existing structure can, in fact, accommodate the weight of a sprinkler system, therefore, • The sprinkler contractor is currently assessing the building, accordingly, to provide a cost estimate for installation, which would necessarily include tying into the water main, the addition of a BFP, alarm, etc. • The FPEs are assessing the existing battery storage cabinets to determine proper spacing, venting, etc. ' Festoon electrical systems are overhead wiring setups used for powering equipment, etc. that typically consist of a series of suspended cable or tracks, while allowingflexible movement of the electrica l con nectio n s. 3427 Miguelilo Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 805.541,4509 p 805.546.0525 f www.oasisassoc.Com CP 018415 • RLA 2248 • CLARB 907 OASIS ASSOCIATES, INC. 29 January- 2026 ESAero — Extension Request Page 3 of 3 With that said, on ESAero°s behalf, I am respectfully requesting an extension of one month — to mid -March to continue our on -going efforts to adequately resolve the inspection items.

Jac, Following up on the EPA I❑ number. Mike with Patriot forwarded the EPA I number he used to [abelthe waste drums, however, this number is attached to the Sueldo location and cannot be used for waste generated at the Higuera location. You need to apply for a permanent or temporary EPA ID number. The temporary number may be granted quicker but is only good for 90 days. Additionally, previously, I noted to apply for a California State I number. This may have been erroneous. Some lithium -ion battery waste is transported offsite under federal waste codes which would require a Federal EPA I number. Please see these websites for more information: httpss:llwww.epa.govlhweenerators/instructions-and-form-hazardous-waste-generators-tra nsorters-and= treatment -storage ; https://dtsc.ca.gov/hazardous-waste-id-numbers/ .

The mitigation plan looks good as well. Once the drums are off -site, this mitigation plan from the industrial hygienist may begin. Once all cleaning processes and procedures outlined in the plan have been completed, the Fire Department would like documentation from the industrial hygienist stating that the factory side of the building has been cleaned and is free of any environmental concerns, prior to ESAero employees returning to work regular duties. The same letter of clearance will need to be submitted to SLO FD for the other two areas when they have been addressed.

Please confirm their capabilities of handling the overpacking and hauling of the waste in accordance with DOT regulations and activety dealing with batteries still reacting. Additionally, ask if they are going to assume the waste under their own hazardous waste ID number or they require you to get a temporary number. This number is issued by the state so the sooner the better to get the paperwork fitted out and submitted. See DTSC form 1358. In speaking with a counterpart, two other companies were brought up that had experience dealing with LIB. Energy Security Agency Inc: 614-589-7647 (Matthew Bowman) Battalion Response Consulting: 618-409-9540 (Steve ❑rueke). These may be worth calling as they were mentioned as two leading LIB response companies.

I wanted to update everyone on the building's status. The San Luis Obispo Fire Department responded yesterday to a 55-gallon drum emitting heat and flames, and the issue has been resolved. I assure you that the public is not in immediate danger, as the drums are isolated and protected from public access through multiple measures. Those drums do need to be picked up and taken to the appropriate facility for proper disposal. Please let me know when this can happen, as we do not want to rely on emergency services for an extended period. The Red Zone (AOO) remains "Do Not Enter" and is subject to the highest restrictions. The Yellow Zone now has the original modified restriction, but currently has limited power and domestic water, but no gas to the building. Power to the building was restored early this morning after PG&E installed a new transformer last night. Restored power is isolated to the computer server room, the FACP room, and the factory side of the building. Fire Sprinklers have been restored today after isolating the room of origin from the system. The Fire Alarm panel has been checked and is in good working order per the fire alarm contractor. The building remains in a modified fire watch. By restoring the fire detection and suppression system, even in a limited capacity, we are protecting the public, contractors, and ESAero employees from potential future hazards. I have spoken with the private investigator, and we have a follow-up meeting scheduled for next week to discuss further details. I spoke with the adjuster, and he is providing the insurer's mitigation plan. He presented the plan to me verbally, and I am awaiting the written document. So far, the plan sounds well thought out, and the fire department is satisfied with its intent. The intent is to keep the public safe from hazardous waste byproducts while recovery and mitigation measures are still underway. Please provide a copy of the mitigation plan (as soon as it has been typed) as requested in the Post Fire Memo dated Monday, January 92th. Continue to direct all communication to me for a seamless transition of the building back to full control of the occupant and building owner by lifting the Do Not Enter order. On behalf of the City of San Luis Obispo, Fire Chief Harris, and I thank you for the continued communication, effort, and preventive measures taken by ESAero. This will be a multi -day effort, and the city would like to remain a partner in getting ESAero back to full operational status.

For further clarity, a building layout has been added to indicate which areas are classified as "Red" or "Yellow" zones. Due to the nature of lithium -ion battery fires, there is potential for hazardous airborne contaminants and corrosive surface residues that may pose health and safety risks. As a result, the building remains under a Do Not Enter restriction until appropriate environmental clearance has been obtained. The portions of the building designated as Yellow Zones will permit contractor work while air monitoring is in progress. The portion of the building designated as a Red Zone will have the strictest restrictions, and no contractor work may begin until hazardous debris has been removed and an approved, licensed, qualified environmental consultant or an industrial hygienist has performed the required post -hazardous -debris -mitigation testing. Hazardous Debris Identification and Removal All fire debris, damaged battery components, suppression residue, and contaminated materials found within the room of origin (Red Zone) shall be evaluated and handled as potentially hazardous until properly characterized. Removal and disposal shall be conducted in accordance with applicable state and federal hazardous waste regulations. Once all hazardous waste has been removed and disposed of appropriately, air and surface testing may begin. Air Quality and Environmental Testing An industrial hygienist or qualified environmental consultant shall conduct comprehensive testing within the red zone identified on the building layout (see attached map), which must include, at a minimum: • Indoor air quality sampling ■ Surface residue (wipe) sampling in affected areas Testing and analysis shall evaluate contaminants commonly associated with lithium -ion battery fires and shall establish clearance based on CaI/OSHA occupational exposure standards, including: • Title 8, California Code of Regulations (CCR) §5155 —Airborne Contaminants • Title 8 CCR §3203 — Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) • Applicable OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PE Ls) for an 8-hour workday Clearance Documentation Upon completion of testing, a written report prepared by the industrial hygienist or environmental consultant shall be submitted to the City of San Luis Obispo Fire Department. The report must include: Air quality testing results • Surface residue testing results A statement of clearance confirming conditions are acceptable for an 8-hour occupational exposure based on OSHA PELs Lifting of the Do Not Enter Restriction Once the Fire Department has received and reviewed the clearance report demonstrating acceptable conditions, the Do Not Enter restriction will be lifted. Post -Fire Building Inspection and Utility Restoration After the restriction is lifted, the affected parties may request a post -fire building inspection from the City of San Luis Obispo Building Department. This inspection will be conducted to: Assess fire -related structural and system damage. • Determine requirements for repair permits. • Confirm conditions for restoration of utilities, as applicable. Please note that no repair work or general contractor access is authorized until the clearance documentation has been submitted and approved, and the Fire Department has formally lifted the Do Not Enter restriction for the Red Zone. See the attached map for details on which areas of the building meet the above requirements. The areas highlighted in red would have full restrictions, while the areas highlighted in yellow would have air -monitoring requirements during cleaning and any other mitigation measures as deemed appropriate by the industrial hygienist or qualified environmental consultant. If you have any questions regarding this process or require assistance with coordination, please contact the City of San Luis Obispo Fire Department.

(ESAero)- Request for Extension Good afternoon Carol Florence, Thank you for your response and for outlining the steps ESAero and your team are taking to address the cited inspection items. We appreciate your acknowledgment of the Department's decision and timelines, as weLl. as the proactive approach to achieving compliance. The Fire Prevention Bureau recognizes that certain corrective measures may require evaluation by Licensed design professionals and the submittal and approval of building permit applications. Engaging qualified consultants and initiating site walkthroughs are appropriate steps toward developing code -compliant solutions. In response to your inquiry, yes, additional documentation is requested at this time. Please provide the following for our review: • A copy of the City -approved plans for the 16400t by 14400t "inspection room" located at 3825 South Higuera Street; • A copy of the Fire Department —approved plans for the dry chemical extinguishing system installed to accommodate the inspection room; and • Any associated permit numbers, approval records, or inspection documentation related to both the inspection room and the extinguishing system. Providing this information will allow the Department to verify previously completed work, confirm approval status, and ensure alignment as remaining items progress toward resolution. Your outlined next steps are consistent with the Department's expectations. Please continue to submit permit applications as required without delay, address all non -permitted corrective actions expeditiously, and request inspections as individual items are completed rather than waiting forfull project completion. We appreciate your continued coordination and commitment to resoLvingthe cited items in a timely and cooperative manner. The Department looks forward to working with yourteam and ESAero staff toward full compliance.

Thank you for your response and for clarif)ing the Department's position regarding the requested extension. We acknowledge your decision and the related timelines. On behalf of our client, we want to confirm that the cited items are being taken seriously and are already in progress toward resolution. As you are aware, some of the corrective measures will require evaluation by licensed design professionals and, in certain cases, the preparation and submittal of building permit applications prior to implementation. We have retained the appropriate consultants and have begun site walkthroughs at both facilities to define the scope of work and confirm code -compliant solutions. Our immediate next steps include: ■ Finalizing consultant recommendations for each cited item; • Determining which corrective actions require permits versus those that can be addressed administratively or operationally; ■ Preparing and submitting any required permit applications without delay; and • Implementing all non -permitted corrective actions as expeditiously as possible and requesting inspections, as required. We remain committed to resolving all cited items as expeditiously as the permitting and construction process allows. If there are any interim documentation requirements, inspection checkpoints, or Department preferences you would like us to incorporate as we move forward, please let us know so we can ensure alignment. We appreciate the SLO Fire Department's ongoing role in maintaining safety at these facilities and look forward to resolving the cited items promptly and cooperatively. As always, C.M.

(ESAero)- Request for Extension Carol Florence, The City of San Luis Obispo Fire Department has reviewed the correspondence submitted on behalf of Empirical Systems Aerospace, Inc. (ESAero), asking for an extension of time to resolve outstanding inspection items and related violations. While your letter indicates that specific corrective actions have been completed, these items have not yet been validated or verified by the Fire Prevention Bureau. As such, all items listed in the inspection notes remain open until compliance has been confirmed through re -inspection and/or approved documentation. An additional 30 days have been granted due to the holiday schedule and our documentation processing. Based on the information available, the request for an extension beyond the established re -inspection deadline of February 2026 has been denied. Given the multiple site locations, we will keep all three on a single date in mid - February to ensure consistency as we move forward. The cited violations involve required life -safety and fire protection systems that must be maintained in compliance with the California Fire Code and applicable local amendments. Given the nature and significance of the remaining items, add itionaltime beyond the established deadlines cannot be granted. The timelines previously provided were deemed reasonable and sufficient to ensure compliance, regardless of project phasing, design coordination, or the sequencing of professional services. The recent retention of additional design professionals and the preparation of as -built documentation for the incoming inspection room do not modify the obligation to correct all outstanding violations within the required timeframes. Any future modifications or phased improvements must be pursued independently and shall not delay full compliance with the current enforcement action. ESAero is expected to continue progressing all inspection items and to demonstrate full compliance by the established deadlines. Failure to do so may result in additional enforcement action as authorized by the fire code. All communication about this will be handled through formal submittals to the Fire Prevention Bureau. Meetings regarding extensions or modifications to compliance timelines can be scheduled and discussed after the mid - February inspection and review of ESAero's progress.

The new permits (going out in January of 2026) will be valid for 5 years, however every yearthere is an annual invoice (payment) and an annual inspection. Sueldo had been inspected in June 2024 priorto the June 2025 inspection so we'll likely tryto keep that same cadence with all of the facilities. Next June we'll hopefully have a better framework for characterizing facilities with hazardous waste and can potentially took to making a new evaluation on the ES Aero facilities. Hopefullythat clears up some of the confusion but feel free to give me a call anytime and we can discuss more.

Good morning Kelly, Thank you for reaching out and thank you for your patience. To answer your question, we wilt be issuing invoices for the new permits in January and sending out the physical copy of the permit upon payment of the invoice. At this time Utilities Leadership has determined, under the guidelines established by San Luis Obispo Municipal Code, that both the Higuera and Empteo facilities will require a Class I Industrial User Permit. The program may reconsider potential exceptions to this requirement next yearwhen a formal exceptio-petition can be generated for submittal. If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to give me a call.
