Leona,
Thanks to you and Art for talking with us yesterday about the Lumberton facility. The information you provided was
very helpful in our process. I just wanted to touch base after the call to make sure we are on track with the things
discussed and that we outline some things that we know we might need. Please correct anything that isn't accurate and
let me know about the process you see moving forward to get the information we might need.
• The facility has changed from a coal fired plant and the fuel used now is a combination of wood/biomass chips
and poultry litter.
• All coal products and materials (ash, etc.) have been removed from the site.
• Facility is still following the same process otherwise — steam electric power generation.
• The facility purchased additional land and expanded north of the previous site boundary. This area now
contains the wood/biomass that is brought in, wood chipping operation, driers, conveyors for the wood chips,
storage barn for dried chips and other equipment. This area all drains to a new pond that was constructed with
the expansion. There is a new outfall (#9) from the pond. In this northern area of the property there was an
area in the Google views that showed storage of a black material, some covered with a blue tarp. Could you
please provide information on what this storage is and what material is there.
• It would be helpful to have a new site map that shows the expanded area, gives information on the material on
the site, locates all outfalls and gives drainage boundaries for the outfalls. It is likely that we will need to re-
evaluate the representative outfall status as we get a better understanding of the outfalls and drainage areas,
etc. This will be handled as part of the site visit conducted by our Fayetteville Regional Office.
• Poultry litter is brought in and stored in the storage building that was previously onsite (near the NE part of the
ditch that divides the old and new property). Wood chips go from storage after drying to warehouse (built over
the old coal storage) near the wastewater basins. Wood goes from here on conveyor and mixes with poultry
litter and mixture goes to the facility as fuel for the process. There is an accumulation of material (wood and
poultry litter) that falls off the conveyor between the two buildings near the ditch. This material is collected and
put back into the process. It would help to know how long material stays on the ground here, etc.
• In the southeastern section of the facility by the plant there is a silo that collects the ash produced in the
process. The ash is removed from the site by truck on a daily basis. Is any ash stored anywhere else on site? It
seems that there is a good bit of ash produced and the one silo seems small for this collection? Could you
provide information on where the ash material is taken?
• In the past few years there were some issues with ash material stored on site and material was removed to
offsite locations. Mike asked about this process and if all that material had been removed from that site and
taken care of. There was an August 1, 2018 date given in the past for completion of this process.
• If there has been any monitoring data collected from Outfall 9 (discharge from the pond) can you please provide
the results of that monitoring.
• As we go through our review it is possible that monitoring locations may change with the changes on site and
the addition of the pond and new discharge for the northern portion of the site. We will also look at the
activities now on site and consider needed adjustments in the monitoring parameters given the changes. This
may eliminate some parameters and add others.

I think there may be some ongoing questions about the facility name (Georgia vs NC Renewable Power). We will
need to have that worked out so we know the correct entity for issuance of the permit. We will have to have an
owner that is a registered NC Corporation.
I have also attached the owner/Facility contact information that we have in our database. Please review that
and make anv updates/corrections needed and tell us anv contacts that need to be removed.
Hopefully I captured everything here. Mike — please add anything I missed. I tried to underline the things that involve
information we may need from you guys.
Thanks again for your help!
MA
