Dear Mr. Blalock:
In accordance with your completed Air Quality Permit Application for a TV Permit minor
modification as per 15 NCAC 02D .0515, received July 25, 2018, we are forwarding herewith Air Quality
Permit No. 06740T21 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(8) 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
owned 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) 150B-23, and filed with both the Office of
Administrative Hearings,6714 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714 and the Division of

or issues for which the modification is sought. Please note that this Air Quality Permit will become fmal and
binding regardless of a request for informal modification unless a request for a hearing is also made under
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

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

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.
3. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed contemporaneous operating
logs or other relevant evidence that include information as follows:
a. an emergency occurred and the Permittee can identify the cause(s)of the emergency;
