73 intel.com/responsibility 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Water Conservation and Restoration Below are examples of water conservation and restoration projects Intel recently implemented or funded as part of our commitment to achieve net positive water: We implemented ultra-pure water efficiency projects in our factories by optimizing recipe flows and reducing or eliminating bypass flows. After successfully piloting these reduction projects at our Ronler Acres facility in Oregon, we are implementing similar projects at our other factory sites. Total savings of 256 million gallons were achieved during 2021. We estimate that we will save 450 million gallons in 2022, increasing to over 700 million gallons per year by 2025. During 2021, we made significant progress in the operation of our on-site water reclaim facilities. These innovative water treatment plants allow Intel to treat and reuse water within our operations in systems such as cooling towers and scrubbers, resulting in a substan - tial increase in water conservation. Our Ocotillo water recycling facility in Arizona , for example, treated and reused approximately 1.1 billion gallons of water during 2021.   Wicklow Mountains National Park Blanket Bog Restoration Project – National Parks and Wildlife Service. Intel’s first water restoration project in Ireland is a pilot project that will re-wet close to 150 acres of degraded peat bog to increase water storage levels by an estimated 13 million gallons each year. These headwaters supply the Poulaphouca (Blessington) reservoir, a drinking water source for the greater Dublin area. The bog restoration will also protect biodiversity and improve carbon storage, and is likely to improve water quality. Upon completion of the pilot, the resulting data will be used to evaluate a full-scale peat bog restoration effort.   Agua Tica Forest Protection – Fundecor. This project, which is expected to restore up to 46 million gallons of water per year, aims to promote water restoration through innovative forest protection schemes in Agua Tica’s action area. Agua Tica is the first public-private water fund established in Costa Rica with the purpose of improving water quality and quantity access through a green infrastructure investment portfolio. Landown - ers are compensated for the environmental services of their properties and incentivized to avoid conversion of existing forests to a more degraded condition, enabling activities such as natural and assisted regeneration, sus - tainable agricultural practices, environmental education, agroforestry systems, and reforestation. 15-Mile Reach 2021 Flow Restoration – Colorado Water Trust. This project in the Colorado River basin, which restored an estimated 226 million gallons of water in 2021, facilitates an agreement to lease water and pass additional flow downstream and through hydropower turbines to enhance flows in the 15-Mile Reach. The leased flows support fish and wildlife, and also benefit conditions upstream on the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork Rivers. As a further benefit, this flow is used by a hydroelectric power plant. For more information on these and other projects, visit our Water Restoration website. Through conservation and Intel- enabled restoration projects, we have achieved 99% (by volumne) toward our net positive water globally, including net positive water in three countries: the US, India, and Costa Rica. Intel and the National Parks and Wildlife Service launched a blanket bog restoration project in the Wicklow Mountains National Park. This is Intel’s first water restoration project in Ireland. 15-Mile Reach 2021 Flow Restoration in the Colorado River watershed, supporting Arizona’s water resources. An Intel-supported project aims to promote water restoration in Costa Rica through innovative forest protection schemes. Introduction Our Business Responsible Inclusive Sustainable Enabling Appendix
