Dear Mr. Filippone:
In accordance with your application received September 2, 2022, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. 08834R18 to Fiber Composites, LLC dba Fiberon, New London, Stanly
County, North Carolina for the construction and operation of air emissions sources or air cleaning
devices and appurtenances. Additionally, any emissions activities determined from your air permit
application as meeting the exemption requirements contained in 15ANCAC 2Q .0102 have been
listed for mformation purposes as an "ATTACHMENT" to the enclosed air permit.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable to you,
you have the right to file a petition for contested case hearing in the North Carolina Office of
Administrative Hearings. Information regardmg the right, procedure, and time limit for permittees
and other persons aggrieved to file such a petition is contained in the attached "Notice Regarding
the Right to Contest a Division of Air Quality Permit Decision."
Unless exempted by a condition of this permit or the regulations, construction of new
air pollution sources or air cleaning devices, or modifications to the sources or air cleaning
devices described in this permit must be covered under a permit issued by the Division of Air
Quality prior to construction. Failure to do so is a violation of G.S. 143-215.108 and may
subject the Permittee to civil or criminal penalties as described in G.S. 143-215.114A and 143-

Changes have been made to the permit stipulations. The Permittee is responsible for
carefully reading the entire permit and evaluating the requirements of each permit
stipulation. The Permittee shall comply with all terms, conditions, requirements, limitations
and restrictions set forth in this permit. Noncompliance with any permit condition is grounds
for enforcement action, for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification, or
for denial of a permit renewal application. Specific changes and additions are summarized
below (note: this list may not include all changes and additions):
The permit condition for visible emissions per 02D .0521 has been updated to no longer
require a malfunction abatement plan and recordkeeping. This requirement was originally
placed m the permit in R03 issued March 3, 2005 as a result of multiple wood flour spills;
however, the facility has not had significant issues in recent years. If there are significant
issues with dust complaints/visible emissions in the future, a similar requirement may he
added back to the permit if it is determined to be necessary.
Should you have any questions conceming this'matter, please contact Jemufer Manning at 704-235-
2224.
Sincerely,
Melinda Wolanin, Regional Supervisor

3. PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT - As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0515
"Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes," particulate matter emissions from
the emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates. The allowable emission rates
are, as defined in 15A NCAC 2D .0515, a function of the process weight rate and shall be
determined by the following equation(s), where P is the process throughput rate in tons per
hour (tons/hr) and E is the allowable emission rate in pounds per hour (Ibs/hr).
E = 4.10 * (P) ° for P <= 30 tons/hr, or
E = 55 * (P) ° - 40 for P >30 tons/hr
4. VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT - As required by 15A NCAC 2D
.0521 "Control of Visible Emissions," visible emissions from the emission sources,
manufactured after July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20 percent opacity when averaged
over a six-mmute period, except that six-minute periods averagmg not more than 87 percent
opacity may occur not more than once in any hour nor more than four times in any 24-hour
period. However, sources which must comply with a visible emissions standard in 15A
NCAC 2D .0524 "New Source Performance Standards" or .1110 "National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants" shall meet that standard instead of the 2D .0521
visible emissions standard.
Permit No. 08834R18
Page 6
5. NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT - As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0535, the Permittee of
a source of excess emissions that last for more than four hours and that results from a

of the Division's next business day of becoming aware of the occurrence and
describe:
i. the name and location of the facility,
ii. the nature and cause of the malfunction or breakdown,
lii. the time when the malfunction or breakdown is first observed,
/
iv. the expected duration, and
V. an estimated rate of emissions.
b. Notify the Director or his designee immediately when the corrective measures have
been accomplished.
, This reporting requirement does not allow the operation of the facility in excess of
Environmental Management Commission Regulations.
6. FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT - As required by 15 A NCAC 2D .0540
"Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources," the Permittee shall not cause or allow
fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess visible
emissions beyond the property boundary. If substantive complaints are received or excessive
fugitive dust emissions from the facility are observed beyond the property boundaries for six
minutes in any one hour (using Reference Method 22 in 40 CFR, Appendix A), the owner or
operator may be required to submit a fugitive dust plan as described in 2D .0540(f).
"Fugitive dust emissions" means particulate matter that does not pass through a process
stack or vent and that is generated withm plant property boundaries from activities such as:
unloading and loadmg areas, process areas stockpiles, stockpile working, plant parkmg lots,
and plant roads (including access roads and haul roads).
i
7. CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS - As required by 15A i
NCAC 2D . 1806 "Control and Prohibition of Odorous Emissions" the Permittee shall not {
operate the facility without implementing management practices..or installing and operating i
odor control equipment sufficient to prevent odorous emissions from the facility from ;
causing or contributing to objectionable odors beyond the facility's boundary. |
8. Federal and State Rules Applicable to Sources Exempted from Air Permitting Requirements \
- Your facility is subject to the following federal and state niles: i
Permit No. 08834RI8
