Annual revenues at 13TON are currently over $8 million per year and are expected to grow. The combination of; 13TON's collection network, Ridgeline's water treatment technology and discharge permits provide for a synergistic opportunity to grow revenues. Both Santa Fe Springs and the recently announced Consolidated Water Treatment of Missouri facility will be positively impacted by additional water treatment revenues delivered by the 13TON's collection network.

Ridgeline will also benefit greatly from the management experience of Ben Maese who has built 13TON over these many years. Ben is a certified public accountant and is one of the most experienced professionals in the waste water industry in California, Nevada, and Arizona.

"We are very pleased to watch our California Division grow to nearly $20 million dollars in annualized revenue, with this Management Agreement. Having Ben Maese's experience and strong counsel will allow Ridgeline to expand operations into other properties, sooner than later", stated Dennis M Danzik, Ridgeline's Director of Engineering and Operations.

Tony Ker, Ridgeline CEO stated, "It is great to continue to watch our Santa Fe Springs property grow organically, but when we can absorb large blocks of business, like 13TON and concurrently add infrastructure for additional growth, we will act swiftly".
