Salisbury Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Subject: Land Application Permit Renewal, Permit No. WQ0000461 Louisiana-Pacific Corporation — Roaring River Plant Wilkes County Dear Mr. Thornburg: The Louisiana-Pacific Corporation's Roaring River facility (LP) has discontinued the land application of sludge and would like to rescind Land Application Permit No. WQ0000461. The facility recently discontinued major manufacturing operations at the facility and now only applies finishes to strand siding products that are manufactured elsewhere. The site also chips logs for selling. As a result, the amount of wastewater generated has substantially decreased, and the facility has discontinued the land application of wastewater biosolids. Based on an April 17, 2019, email communication from Ms. Poonam Giri, LP understands that before the permit can be rescinded due to the cessation of land application activities, the permit will first need to be renewed in order to facilitate abandonment of the associated groundwater monitoring wells. Ms. Giri also allowed an extension to the renewal due date in her April 17, 2020, email. On behalf of LP, please accept this Land Application permit renewal application package for Permit Number WQ0000461. LP owns the land application site.

FORM: LASC 06-16 Page 1 Operations and Maintenance Plan LP, BUILDING PRODUCTS Louisiana Pacific Land Application Program Operation and Maintenance Plan Operational Functions 1. General The Louisiana Pacific (LP) Land Application program manages and applies the residuals generated by the LP industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). This facility does not treat sanitary wastewaters so it is a non-503 process. The residuals are generated by belt presses in the WWTP and conveyed to the residuals staging area on the west end of the building. Residuals that cannot be immediately applied due to rain or equipment malfunction are transported by loader to an on -site, concrete storage pit where the residuals can be stored until able to be spread. This concrete facility captures all run-off or stormwater that contacts the residuals. As necessary, the accumulated liquid is transported and returned to the WWTP lagoon for processing. In the unlikely event that this facility's capacity is reached, LP has identified several off -site locations that have acceptable storage facilities to temporarily store residuals. These locations are: Cranberry Farms 5200 block of Old 60 Wilkesboro, NC 28697 2. AS&J Farms 615 Mathis Farm Rd. Roaring River NC 28669 3. AS&J Farms Located in Fields YF1-YF7 Yadkin County All of these locations are designed as silage facilities and are concrete lined. Residuals are transported and spread onto agricultural and pasture lands by LP owned and operated spreader trucks. Residuals are loaded and moved on the LP site by the use of a front end loader. Personnel associated with the Land Application program include the ORC, the Back-up ORCs, and the driver/operators who load and spread the residuals. The ORC and Back-up ORCs are also driver/operators. All driver/operators are certified North Carolina Land Application or Residuals Operators. All drivers hold current commercial drivers licenses and meet the DOT requirements for their positions. LP, BUILDING PRODUCTS 2. Land Application At the beginning of each shift all land application vehicles are inspected to comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation requirements. Residuals are loaded onto the land application vehicles by the driver/operator using a front loader. The driver/operator loads the land application vehicle to a level that ensures that no residuals will spill from the truck or exceed GVWR. Loaded land application vehicles are weighed on certified scales prior to leaving the site. Fields selected for applications are buffered by the ORC or Back-up ORC prior to any residuals being applied using the setback table contained in the permit for the type of residual being applied. Residuals are transported to the land application fields and are not applied unless the field has met the requirements of the permit including those found in section III.9. Residuals applied do not exceed agronomic rates for the crop being grown and are calculated as specified in the permit. The residuals solids % is measured every day that residuals are generated. If the % solids fall below 15%, application is limited to fields where the slope is 10% or less. Residuals are not applied during precipitation events (> 0.01"/hr) or within 24 hours of a 0.5" or greater 24 hour precipitation event. Rain gauges are often placed at specific fields to accurately assess the precipitation. On fields where the pH is below 6.0, residuals are not applied unless the landowner can attest that lime has been applied at recommended rates or that the pH is appropriate for the crop being grown as indicated by an agronomist. Land application vehicles are kept as clean as possible of residuals that can collect in the area near the slinger discharge and the tires. A copy of the Land Application permit, this O&M plan, and the spill prevention plan are maintained in all Land Application vehicles at all times. LP, BUILDING PRODUCTS Maintenance Schedules Preventive maintenance is performed per manufacturer's recommendations. These recommendations are translated into PM requests in LP's EAM maintenance system which generates work orders at the specified frequencies. Corrective maintenance is performed as necessary and is usually the result of a vehicle inspection or mechanical failure. The vehicle will be taken out of service until the repairs have been completed. These repairs are also performed using the EAM maintenance system which ensures that records of any maintenance are maintained. The vast majority of maintenance is performed by the LP maintenance organization; however, on some occasions and outside contractor may have to be utilized. In these cases, records will be kept of any work performed within the maintenance department. Safety Measures Safe operating procedures (SOPS) have been written for the land application program. These include safe: loading, driving, spreading, and field inspections and are used to train driver/operators in the proper way to perform these functions safely and efficiently. At the beginning of each shift, driver/operators perform an inspection of each vehicle that they will use that shift using a checklist. If any item is found deficient, the vehicle will be taken out of service and brought to the maintenance shop. Land application is not performed after dark. Drivers/operators must maintain valid drivers' licenses as well as DOT health cards to ensure that they are capable of safely performing their job. The ORC evaluates how the spreading trucks with enter and leave the fields for spreading. For those fields where the ORC determines that the visibility of oncoming traffic is compromised, signs warning oncoming traffic that Trucks Entering Roadway will be posted. Spill Response Plan LP has and maintains a spill plan for the Land Application program. A copy of this plan is kept in each of the Land Application spreader trucks. The plan includes actions to be taken to contain and clean up any released residuals, notification requirements, both internal and external, and contact information. This plan is reviewed annually and after any incident where it is implemented. Any changes or improvements identified will be incorporated into the plan. LP, BUILDING PRODUCTS Inspection Plan Land Application of Residual Operators which includes the ORC and the back up ORCs conduct all inspections. At the beginning of each shift, driver/operators perform an inspection of each vehicle that they will use that shift using a checklist. If any item is found deficient, the vehicle will be taken out of service and brought to the maintenance shop and a work request entered into the EAM system. Each day that spreading of residuals occurs; the application site and any residual storage facility in use are inspected by the ORC or a certified North Carolina Land Application of Residual Operator. Inspections of storage facilities include verifying that all residuals are contained within the storage facility and that there are no imminent risk of discharges to the environment. Inspections of the Land Application site include all buffer setbacks to insure they are compliant with permit requirements. Entrances and exit areas at all land application sites including the roadways are inspected to insure they are clear of any residuals. The land application site is observed to make sure that the land application of residuals is not causing a prolonged nuisance condition. The inspector signs the daily land application work sheet after each inspection. Any noncompliance activity observed by the inspector is recorded in the daily land application work sheet and signed by the inspector. The ORC and the EHS Manager are notified by the inspector of any potential noncompliance activity or safety concern. All land application is stopped until the issue is resolved. If non-compliance is verified, notification will be made as specified in the permit. This notification will normally be made by the ESH manager. Inspection sheets or logs are maintained at the LP site for a minimum of 5 years. Sampling and Monitoring There are a number of sampling and analysis activities required by LP's land application permit. These include residuals sampling, application sites, and groundwater monitoring. The ORC or back up ORCs are responsible for conducting the sampling and monitoring for residuals and land application sites. Residuals are sampled as they are prepared for land application. The sampling location is off the conveyer belt immediately after the residuals have exited the belt press. In the event wood ash LP, BUILDING PRODUCTS has been mixed into biological residuals, a sample of the mixture will be taken and analyzed per section IV condition 2 of the permit. A wastewater treatment plant operator collects residuals samples twice per shift and analyzes them for the % solids content. The analyses (4/day) are averaged and the average is used as the % solids for that day's spreading activities. Once per permit cycle Residuals generated for land application are analyzed to demonstrate that they are non -hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. A sample is collected, processed, and shipped to a North Carolina Certified Laboratory. The sample is analyzed for hazardous characteristics and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) parameters as defined in section IV condition 3 of the permit. Metals and Nutrients samples are collected, processed, and shipped to a North Carolina Certified Laboratory every 60 days. Parameters for Metals and Nutrients include those defined in condition IV section 2 of the permit. Groundwater monitoring is performed three times per year as specified in the permit. Samples may be taken by a number of different personnel and include the ESH Manager, the Plant Environmental Manager, the ORC or back-up ORC, or an outside contractor may be hired to perform this sampling. Whoever performs the sampling, the LP groundwater sampling procedure will be utilized to ensure that valid samples are collected and proper sampling protocols are followed. Groundwater wells are monitored and sampled in March, July, and November. They include GMW 3, GMW 5, and GMW 6. Samples will be analyzed as specified in Attachment C to LP's permit. Currently, NCDENR is performing an investigation on the LP Field 25 site which includes the LP monitoring wells. In the event that NC DENR samples these wells at the same time that LP is required to, LP may choose to split the samples with DENR. NC DENR personnel will follow their approved sampling procedures. As specified by Section IV condition 5 of LP's permit, soil analyses are conducted for each land application site that residuals were applied on in the respective calendar year. Sampling protocol varies depending upon the crop being grown on the field. Core sample locations are spread out over a given field to provide a representative field soil sample. Sample core depth is determined by crop. 8 inch depth for row crop and a 4 inch depth for perennial pasture or turf crops. Every soil sample consists of 15 to 20 cores mixed together and a composite sample taken and placed in a box provided by the NCDA & CS Agronomic Division, Soil Testing Section. Each Soil analysis is shipped to the NCDA & CS Agronomic Division, Soil Test Section, 4300 Reedy Road, NC 27607-6465. All monitoring results are maintained for a minimum of five years per the permit.

Please note that this renewed permit shall become effective on November 1, 2015 (i.e. the day after the expiration date of the existing permit), which differs fi-om the date of this letter. It is the understanding of the Division that the Permittee will apply the Class A residuals on their own property and also on the properties of others. Although residuals are not currently distributed to other parties for applications by such parties (i.e., in a bagged or bulk form), the Permittee wishes to retain this option. Modifications to the subject permit are as follows: Sampling and monitoring requirements for verifying compliance with pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction requirements have been removed from the permit, as the Permittee has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division that the residuals and processes do not contain or produce pathogens. The frequency of groundwater monitoring has been reduced to once a year (September) for all parameters (see Attachment Q. Groundwater monitoring for Volatile Compounds (PCS code 78732) has been changed to Volatile Compounds (PCS code GWVOC). The description of the product has been expanded to include the occasional addition of small amounts of wood -fired boiler ash and/or unprocessed sawdust, This permit shall be effective from, November 1, 2015 until October 31, 2020, shall void Permit No. WQ0000461 issued December 21, 2011, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A and C for they may differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information shall result in fixture compliance problems.

The annual report shall include an explanation for missing sampling data. Those required to submit the annual report to EPA may be required to make up the missed sampling, contact the EPA for additional information and clarification. The residuals, and processes they are subjected to, do not contain or produce pathogens, and the residuals are therefore exempt from monitoring to demonstrate that they meet the requirements stated in Permit Conditions II.6. and II.7. (pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction).
