Dear Mr. Blalock:
In accordance with your completed Air Quality Permit Application for a major modification of a Title V
permit,received February 12,2019,we are forwarding herewith Air Quality Permit No. 06740T22 to Canfor
Southern Pine—Graham Plant,4408 Mt. Hermon-Rock Creek Road, Graham, North Carolina authorizing
the construction and operation, of the emission source(s) and associated air pollution control device(s)
specified herein. Additionally,any emissions activities determined from your Air Quality Permit Application
as being insignificant per 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02Q .0503(g) have been listed for
informational purposes as an "ATTACHMENT." Please note the requirements for the annual compliance
certification are contained in General Condition P in Section 3. The current owner is responsible for
submitting a compliance certification for the entire year regardless of who awned the facility during the year.
As the designated responsible official,it is your responsibility to review, understand,and abide by all of
the terms and conditions of the attached permit. It is also your responsibility to ensure that any person who
operates any emission source and associated air pollution control device subject to any term or condition of
the attached permit reviews, understands, and abides by the condition(s) of the attached permit that are
applicable to that particular emission source.
If any parts,requirements,or limitations contained in this Air Quality Permit are unacceptable to you,you
have the right to request a formal adjudicatory hearing within 30 days following receipt of this permit
identifying the specific issues to be contested. This hearing request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to NCGS (North Carolina General Statutes) 15OB-23, and filed with both the Office of
Administrative Hearings,6714 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714 and the Division of

NCGS 150B-23.
The construction of new air pollution emission source(s)and associated air pollution control device(s),or
modifications to the emission source(s) and air pollution control device(s) described in this permit must be
covered under an Air Quality Permit issued by the Division of Air Quality prior to construction unless the
Permittee has fulfilled the requirements of NCGS 143-215.108A(b) and received written approval from the
Director of the Division of Air Quality to commence construction. Failure to receive an Air Quality Permit
or written approval prior to commencing construction is a violation of NCGS 143-215.108A and may subject
the Permittee to civil or criminal penalties as described in NCGS 143-215.114A and 143-215.114B.

The Permittee shall be subject to the following provisions with respect to emergencies:
1. An emergency means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of the
facility,including acts of God,which situation requires immediate corrective action to restore normal operation,and
that causes the facility to exceed a technology-based emission limitation under the permit,due to unavoidable increases
in emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by
improperly designed equipment,lack of preventive maintenance,careless or improper operation,or operator error.
2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based
emission limitations if the conditions specified in 3.below are met.
Permit 06740T22
Page 30
3. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed contemporaneous operating logs

accordance with 15A NCAC 02D,2600 and follow the procedures outlined below:
1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to the Director
prior to air pollution testing.Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved by the Director prior to air
pollution testing.The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-approval prior to testing if
requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the test.
2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable standard shall
notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at his option observe the test.
3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production rates during the
period of air testing.The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the equipment or process being tested is
operated at the production rate that best fulfills the purpose of the test.The individual conducting the emission test

collection unless otherwise specified in the specific conditions. The owner or operator may request an extension to
submit the fmal test report.The Director shall approve an extension request if he finds that the extension request is a
result of actions beyond the control of the owner or operator.
a. The Director shall make the final determination regarding any testing procedure deviation and the validity of the
compliance test_The Director may:
i. Allow deviations from a metbod specified under a rule in this Section if the owner or operator of the source
being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the specified method is inappropriate for
the source being tested.
ii. Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative method is
necessary to secure more reliable test data.
iii. Prescribe or approve methods on an individual basis for sources or pollutants for which no test method is
specified in this Section if the methods can be demonstrated to determine compliance of permitted emission
sources or pollutants.
b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any source subject to a
rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any test data suhmitted
relating to that source.Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using the appropriate testing
procedures described in Section 02D.2600 has precedence over all other tests.
