Louisiana-Pacific (LP) Corporation -- Roaring River
Distribution of Other Residual Solids
Distribution/Land Application of Residuals from the
Treatment of Other Wastewater
Wilkes County
Dear Mr. James Reavis:
In accordance with your permit application package received on March 2, 2005, as well as the
additional information received on May 12, 2005, we are forwarding herewith a modified and renewed
Permit No. WQ0000461, dated November 22, 2006, to the Louisiana-Pacific Corporation for the
operation of a program to distribute/land apply residuals from the treatment of other wastewater. The
product is a residual that is generated from the treatment of industrial wastewater at Louisiana-Pacific
Corporation's Roaring River Plant located in Roaring River, North Carolina.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 31, 2011; shall void Permit
No. WQ0000461, issued to ABTco, Inc. on September 5, 2000; and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations as specified therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and that a permit renewal
application is due to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to that date
(i.e., see Condition VII. 7.), as the Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal.
This permit is being issued to modify the previous permit to allow distribution and marketing and
land application of residuals from treated wastewater, which decreases restrictions for land application to
specific sites. The amount of residuals to be land applied is increased from 10,000 dry tons per year to
16,800 dry tons per year and includes distribution/marketing/land application of wood ash. This permit
also approves the continued operation of the residuals land application program for another five-year
cycle. As always, remember to take the time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the
conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the last issuance. Pay
particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance
problems.
Be advised that operation of disposal facilities without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute §143-215.1 and may subject the owner/operator of the facilities to enforcement
action in accordance with North Carolina General Statute §143-215.6. Civil penalties of up to $25,000
per day per violation may be assessed for failure to await the issuance of a permit required by North
Carolina General Statute § 143-215.1.

RALEIGH
DISTRIBUTION / LAND APPLICATION OF RESIDUAL SOLIDS PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation
Wilkes County
FOR THE
operation of the distribution and marketing and continued operation of the land application of wastewater
residuals throughout the State of North Carolina for Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and consisting of the
distribution, marketing and land application of residuals generated by the Louisiana-Pacific Corporation
Roaring River Plant wastewater treatment system with no discharge of wastes to surface waters, pursuant
to the permit modification and renewal application package received on March 2, 2005 as well as the
additional information received on May 12, 2005 and in conformity with the project plan, specifications,
and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 31, 2011; shall void Permit
No. WQ0000461, issued on September 5, 2000; and shall be subject to the following specified conditions
and limitations:
1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The residuals land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -
discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
program.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils of the land application sites fail to assimilate the
residuals adequately and may be rescinded unless the land application sites are maintained and
operated in a manner that will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface
waters and groundwater.

3. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface waters or groundwater resulting from the operation of this residuals land application
Program.
4. In the event that the residuals land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including
the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease land applying residuals to the
site, contact the Aquifer Protection Section of the appropriate Division of Water Quality's
(Division) regional office, and take any immediate corrective actions as may be required by
the Division.
5. No residuals other than those generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in
the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit shall be approved for land application
in accordance with this permit.
6. Only residuals derived from the treatment of industrial wastewater and wood ash shall
be approved for distribution/land application in accordance with this permit. It is the
Division's understanding that domestic wastewater generated from Louisiana-Pacific's
Roaring River Plant is combined with the sanitary wastewater from the neighboring
CertainTeed facility and is treated in a package sanitary wastewater treatment unit which
discharges to the Yadkin River after combining with the LP Roaring River WWTP effluent at
the Effluent Mix Box after separation of the residuals. Residuals removed from the sanitary
wastewater package unit associated with this system, shall be removed off-site and properly
disposed. Under no circumstance, shall these domestic wastewater residuals be introduced to
the plant treating the industrial wastewater. A modification to this permit shall be requested to
and approved by the Division if there is a desire to combine the domestic and industrial
wastewater sources prior to treatment. The wood ash from the wood fired boiler may be
blended in any proportion with the WWTP residuals at the facility prior to distribution/land
application. The production of WWTP residuals is estimated to be 12,000 dry tons per year
and total production of wood ash is estimated to be 4800 dry tons per year.
7. The pollutant concentrations in any residuals that are land applied shall not exceed the
following Ceiling Concentrations or Monthly Average Concentrations (i.e., dry weight
basis):

the following requirements must be met.
a. The Class A pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 15A NCAC 02T .1106 apply.
b. The vector attraction reduction requirements in 15A NCAC 02T .1106 apply.
c. An evaluation shall be performed that demonstrates the residuals' ability to comply with
these requirements. Upon request, a copy of this evaluation, including all test results and
calculations, shall be submitted.
Only residuals that are generated by the residuals source -generating facilities that are
identified as being exempt from this condition in the most recently -certified Attachment A
shall not be required to comply with the specified pathogen reduction and vector attraction
reduction requirements.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities and land application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Bulk residuals shall not be applied to the land under the following conditions:
a. If the requirements specified in 40 CFR 503.14(a) as stated in January 1, 1996 and
incorporated by reference cannot be met;
b. If the application causes prolonged nuisance conditions;
c. If the land fails to assimilate the bulk residuals or the application causes the contravention
of surface water or groundwater standards;
d. If the land is flooded, frozen, or snow-covered or is otherwise in a condition such that
runoff of the residuals would occur;
e. Within the 100 -year flood elevation unless the bulk residuals are injected or incorporated
within a 24-hour period following the residuals land application event;
f. During a precipitation event or within 24 hours following a rainfall event of 0.5 inches or
greater in a 24-hour period. Any emergency residuals land application measures shall first
be approved in writing by the Division;
g. If the slope for land is greater than 10 percent when bulk liquid residuals are surface
applied, and if the slope of the land is greater then 18 percent with bulk liquid residuals are
injected or incorporated;
h. If the land does not have an established vegetative cover unless the bulk residuals are
incorporated within a 24-hour period following the residuals land application event or
injected;
i. If the vertical separation of the seasonal high water table and the depth of residuals
application is less then one foot;
3

j. if the vertical separation of the depth to bedrock and the depth of residuals application is
less then one foot;
k. Application exceeds agronomic rates.
3. Upon classification of the residuals land application program by the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate a
certified land application/residuals operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the program.
The operator shall hold a certificate of the type classification assigned to the program by the
WPCSOCC. The Permittee shall also designate a certified back-up operator of the appropriate
type to comply with the conditions of 15A NCAC 8G .0202.
4. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
5. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
G. No residuals shall be stored at any land application site at any time, unless written approval
has first been requested and obtained from the Division. All residuals shall be adequately
stored to prevent leachate runoff until distributed or land applied. The finished product may
be placed on a concrete or lined pad, placed under shelter, or covered until such time as it is
distributed. If stored off-site for more than 30 days, approval must be obtained from the
Division
7. A copy of this permit shall be maintained in all manned equipment at the land application sites
when residuals are being land applied during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and
control plan shall be maintained in all residuals transport and application vehicles.
8. When land applying residuals to any land application site, the following buffer zones shall be
maintained at all times (following setbacks are for "cake" type residuals):
a. 100 feet from any public or private water supply source;
b. 100 feet from any well with the exception of monitoring wells;
c. 25 feet from any surface waters (streams - intermittent and perennial, perennial water
bodies, and wetlands);
9. Specific residuals land application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each land
application site prior to and during a residuals land application event.
10. An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, residuals, and lime mixture, greater than b.0,
on all land application sites onto which residuals are land applied to ensure optimum yield for
the crops specified in Condition II. 13. The agrononust shall provide information on the pH
best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.
0

11. If the residuals generated by the residuals source generating facilities listed in the most
recently -certified Attachment A of this permit are demonstrated to contain a high salt content
(i.e., high sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five or higher), permittee shall submit the annual
soils analyses for review and recommendation by the Iocal Cooperative Extension Office, the
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation
Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other agronomist. Permittee shall record
and maintain the annual soils analyses, recommendations from the review of such analyses,
and any actions implementing such recommendations.
12. A suitable vegetative cover, shall be maintained on land application sites onto which residuals
are land applied in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist and as approved by the Division
13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at or
below agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Appropriate
agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected nitrogen requirements based on the
Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) field cover for each approved land application site.
Realistic Yield Expectations and acceptable nitrogen application rate for various soil types and
crops are available through the North Carolina State University Department of Soil Science
Webpage at hn://www.soil.ncsu.edu/nmp/ncmnwg_/yields/. For any crop type for which an
RYE and appropriate nitrogen application rate can not be determined, the permittee shall
contact the Division to determine necessary action.
14. If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall be allowed as Iong as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be
planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
15. Upon entering an agreement with landowners to apply residuals to a land application site,
Permittee shall require of the landowner or lessee/operator, a statement detailing the volume of
nutrient sources (waste residuals, manufactured fertilizers, manures, or other animal waste
products) other than the residuals to be applied by the Permittee, that have been applied to the
land, and a copy of an accurate Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) for the fields within the
agreement. The NMPs must be provided for those operations where a NMP is required by the
US Department of Agriculture — National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) or other
State Agencies. Permittee may rely on the provided information to calculate appropriate
reductions in allowable PAN loading rates. If the calculation shows that the agronomic rates
(including PAN) have already been met or exceeded on a field, no additional residuals shall be
land applied to that field.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue
analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be
established, and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.

NCAC 2C) and this permit. This certification should be submitted with copies of the
Well Completion Form (GW -1) for each well. Mail this certification and the
associated GW -1 forms to the Division of Water Quality, Information Processing Unit,
Mail Service Center 1617, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1617.
(6) The Winston Salem Regional Office shall be notified at least forty-eight (48) hours
prior to the construction of any monitoring well so that an inspection can be made of
the monitoring well location. Such notification to the regional groundwater supervisor
shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5.00 p.m. on
Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays.
(7) For the initial sampling of the well as specified elsewhere in the permit, the permittee
shall submit a copy of the GW -1 Form (Well Completion Form) with the Compliance
Monitoring Form (GW -59) for that well. Compliance Monitoring Forms that do not
include copies of the GW -1 form will be returned to the permittee without being

c. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of permit issuance, monitor well(s) DS2 MW -2,
DS2 MW -3, DS4 MW -1, DS4 MW -2, DS4 MW -3, DS6 MW -4, DS6 MW -5, DS6 MW -6,
DS6 MW -7, DS6 MW -8, DS6 MW -9, DS6 MW -10, DS6 MW -11, and DS6 MW -12 shall
be permanently abandoned. Within thirty (30) days of abandonment, a Well Abandonment
Record (GW -30 form) shall be completed for each well abandoned and mailed to the
address listed in Permit Condition II1.12. The well(s) must be abandoned by a North
Carolina Certified Well Contractor according to the North Carolina Well Construction
Standards (15A NCAC 2C .0113) and local county rules.
d. In lieu of further groundwater monitoring of these sites the Permittee shall meet the
following compliance schedule to address periodically elevated nitrate levels reported in
some of the to -be -abandoned monitoring wells.
Permittee shall submit an agronomic rate maintenance plan for the fields where elevated
nitrate levels have been reported within one hundred eighty (180) days of permit issuance.
The plan shall describe how conditions H. 11 through H.14 of this permit will be met.
Specifically the plan shall include the following:
(1) The Permittee shall describe how coordination between the Permittee and land owners
who intend to apply residuals to any land application site that has previously received
or is intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of
nutrients (e.g., fertilizer, etc.) will assure that agronomic rates based on RYES are not
exceeded.
(2) Explain how the Permittee will obtain and track information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lessee/operator
of the site.
(3) Explain how the Permittee will verify the volume of residuals that may be land applied
to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified
crop shall not exceed agronomic rates for all the sources of PAN applied. Should the
agronomic rates be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall be land applied
to the site.
2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The
Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet from
the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation
action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(1).
3. Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.

VL INSPECTIONS
Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to
the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an
inspection Iog or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or
leachate.
VII. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. This permit shall become voidable unless the residuals land application events are carried out
in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the supporting materials, and in the manner
approved by the Division.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals described
in the application and other supporting data.
Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General
Statutes § 143-215.6A through § 143-215.6C.
4. The annual administering and compliance fee shall be paid by the Permittee within 30 days
after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause the Division
to initiate action to revoke this permit, as specified by 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c)(4).
The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies
(i.e., local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, applicable
river buffer rules in 15 A NCAC 2B .0200, soil erosion and sedimentation control requirements
in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and under the Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any
requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A NCAC 2B .0200 and 15A NCAC .0500.
6. This permit may be modified, revoked, and/or reissued to incorporate any conditions,
limitations and monitoring requirements the Division deems necessary in order to protect the
environment and public health adequately.

7. The Permittee, at least six months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its
extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Division shall review the adequacy of the facilities
and residuals land application program described therein, and if warranted, shall extend the
permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem
appropriate.
8. This permit shall not be automatically transferable. In the event that there is a desire for the
residuals land application program to change ownership or to change the name of the
Permittee, a formal permit request shall be submitted to the Division documentation from the
parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this
request shall be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.
Permit issued this the 22 d.day of November 2006.
