February 5, 2021 Ms. Lauren Raup-Plummer NCDEQ Division of Water Resources 512 N. Salisbury St. Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Dear Ms. Raup-Plummer: Subject: Application No. WQ0003396 Additional Information Request Arauco-Moncure WWTP Wastewater Irrigation Chatham County CEC Project 195-440.0001 In response to your information request dated January 7, 2021, please note the following items below. All items are addressed in the same order and are numbered the same as your original requests. We have attached a revised application package (Application, Engineering Plan set, Specifications) for your convenience and reference. A. Cover Letter: Construction Sequence Included as Attachment 1 please find the proposed construction sequence for the project. Please note that Arauco intends to modify Pond 5D in stages, so that neither pond will be drained and a plant shutdown is not required for construction to proceed. C. Application: 1. Application package has been modified to list "Arauco North America, Inc." as the Permittee and "Arauco-Moncure WWTP" as the facility. 2. The application has been modified to show the most recent permit issuance date as March 26, 2020 for Version 3.1 of WQ0003396. 3. The attached application has been modified to indicate which permits/certifications are applicable. Please note that the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan cannot be submitted until NCDEQ has ruled on the wetlands determination discussed in other items below. 4. General Requirements IV.8 has been modified as "no" to submitting documentation of Compliance with 143 Article 21 Part 6. Documentation of compliance will be submitted pending an NCDEQ ruling on the proposed permit path offered by NCDEQ on February 2, 2021. It should be noted that the purpose of this project is to isolate wastewater Pond 5D from the 100-yr flood plain. 3701 Arco Corporate Drive, Suite 400 1 Charlotte, NC 28273 1 p: 980-237-0373 f: 980-237-0372 1 www.cecinc.com Ms. Lauren Raup-Plummer - NCDEQ CEC Project 195-440.0001 Page 2 February 5, 2021 5. Item VL3 has been modified to reflect the discharge point as the pump and haul loading station. 6. Item VL8 has been modified to reflect bedrock as 14 feet below the bottom of Pond 5D. The boring logs are included with the Specifications as the Geotechnical Engineering Report on the existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments dated September 25, 2017 by ECS Southeast, LLP. 7. Please note that we are not changing the existing pond depth as part of this project. For added protection, the clay liner proposed will also provide protection against possible groundwater infiltration. From available geotechnical data, we have provided area water table elevation data, indicating the water table is well below the bottom elevation of Pond 5D. 8. A liner specification has been added to the Specifications, and is referenced in the Application in both V1.10 and V1.12. 9. The Section VIII Setback Data has been added to the revised Application. Please note that we are making no changes to the existing irrigation field, thus have not included this data. G. Hydrogeologic Report: Please see the Geotechnical Engineering Report on the existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments dated September 25, 2017 by ECS Southeast, LLP for information related to bedrock and water table elevations. This report is included with the revised application as an attachment to the Specifications. H. Water Balance: 1. Pond 5C is not in use as a stormwater retention pond, and only receives local stormwater drainage from the pond area, not from the facility. The volume of Pond 5D is being maintained for wastewater treatment. Thus, the change in volume of Pond 5C does not affect any permitted rate. I. Engineering Plans: General: A revised set of engineering plans is included with the submittal. Detailed responses to your questions are as follows: I. Regarding proposed fill material source: please refer to the updated earthwork and liner specification added to the specifications. 2. Regarding the permitting status of isolated wetland impacts, please see the attached February 2, 2021 e-mail (and e-mail string) from Sue Homewood of the NC DWR, Winston Salem Regional Office, regarding a permit path forward for Arauco to pursue. A notification of jurisdictional determination from the US Army Corps of Engineers was received on February 1, 2021, and is attached. Both items are included as Attachment I to this letter. Civii & Environmental Consultants, Inc. Ms. Lauren Raup-Plummer - NCDEQ CEC Project 195-440.0001 Page 3 February 5, 2021 3. An overflow pipe for Pond 5C matching the original elevation has been added to the Engineering Plan sheet C300. To reiterate the discussion above under water balance, Pond 5C is not used as a stormwater retention pond. 4. No modifications to the inlet and discharge piping from Pond 5D are proposed as part of this construction. The revised plan set included with the revised application includes the inlet and outlet piping. J. Specifications: 1. Section 3101 00 Earthwork a. The "Geotechnical Engineering Report for Existing Arauco Pond Embankments" dated September 25, 2017 referenced in the specification has been included as a specification attachment. b. A structural fill specification has been added to the specifications as well as the earthwork specification being revised to include soil type and to differentiate between impervious liner fill material and compacted berm fill material. c. Within Part 32(A) FILLING AND COMPACTION the specifications and drawings addressing keyways at toe of slopes have been added to the plan drawings. Benching will not be required or utilized in this project. 2. Section 31 04 00 EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL did not address management of wastewater. The construction sequence has been added to the plans to show the use of temporary coffer dams during construction to complete each portion of the Pond 5D modification. This will allow the plant and Pond 5D to remain operational during construction. K. Engineering Calculations: 1. Engineering calculations for the existing and proposed volumes of Ponds 5C, Pond 51), and combined Pond 5 have been added to Appendix D of the revised Application. L. Site Map: 1. Revised Site Maps that have been signed, sealed and dated by an NC Licensed Professional Engineer are provided in Appendix F of the revised Application. O. Residuals Management Plan: 1. We intend for pond solids from Pond 5D to be disposed as process wastewater residuals and placed in Pond 5C. Sludge analyses to date indicate the process sludge are within range for NC sludge land application standards. Again, Pond 5C is not used for stormwater management. Civii & Environmental Consultants, Inc. Ms. Lauren Raup-Plummer - NCDEQ CEC Project 195-440.0001 Page 4 February 5, 2021 P. Additional Documentation: Floodway Regulation Compliance: Regarding construction or operation of wastewater treatment and/or disposal facilities within the floodplain, the reason this project is being performed is to isolate Pond 5D from the 100-year floodplain. NCDEQ provided an initial permitting pathway on February 2, 2021. Based on this permitting pathway, Arauco will proceed with preparation of written documentation and submittals to allow construction of this project within the 100-year floodplain.

So we will still be referring to it and asking for the significant nexus analysis in order to show that a project would be eligible for review under .1300. Your maps refer to WA-3 as a wetland, so it's not obvious to the casual view that the area would be considered a lake/pond. That makes a big difference for DWR purposes as wetlands are subject to wetland standards in 02B .0231 but lakes and ponds do not have surface water standards if they are isolated from any classified streams. So, I think you have two options in this case: Update your documents to clearly indicate that the area is an open water and not a wetland; or if it meets the 3 criteria of a wetland, then ensure your client has adequate documentation that there is no significant nexus to surface waters. The confirmation from the USACE as an "excluded" wetland does not provide sufficient evidence of "no significant nexus" because excluded wetlands can be connected to surface waters under NWPR.

We used the term "Excluded" as it's the new accepted language, and the Rapanos is no longer viable with the United States Army Corp of Engineers. However, under the new NWPR, Interim AJD form , Exclusions, I believe WA-3 would have best been served to be exclude as a (b)(8) exclusion or Artificial Jake/pond constructed or excavated in upland or a non jurisdictional water, so long as the artificial lake or pond is not an impoundment of a jurisdictional water that meets (c)(6). However, as I stated, we were all just getting to know the NWPR and new language. I believe the (b)(8) language still fits the exemptions in Section 02H.1300(c) and would allow us, based on our original Letter Report I previously attached, to rule the feature Isolated and exempt.

Did you mean the exemptions listed in Section 02H .1300(c)? If so, those rules are specific to what is exempt from permitting for isolated wetlands. So the first step is to determine it is isolated, which is different than "excluded". Isolated is the old "no significant nexus" determination. It sounds like this wetland would fall into that category but I want to be sure we're all saying the same thing so that it's clear for future situations.

Thank you for the rapid reply as the Client is in need of a response to NC DEQ comments, for the pond, very soon. The initial delineation was performed in September 2020, and we were all just becoming familiar with the New Navigable Waters Protection Ruling (NWPR). I'm attaching our original findings. What you will note is WA-3 (The isolated or excluded feature) is classified as Palustrine Unconsolidated Bottom Permanently Flooded Excavated Wetland. You will note on figure 6 that the "feature" takes the shape of the base of the existing berm. WA-3 was created in Upland Soil (See attached Report with both On-line and Published Soil Maps) by excavating material (Non-Hydric Soil) for construction of the existing Berm. We feel WA-3 would be considered exempt as described in 15A NCAC 02B .0230 as an isolated man-made pond/wetland, and it was created as a portion of the Discharges of treated effluent into isolated wetlands and isolated classified surface waters resulting from activities that receive NPDES Permits or State Non -Discharge Permits. CEC utilized the NWPR language as it is now the accepted Rule in 49 of 50 states, with the one exception being Colorado. Please advise if our original Report, Attached, will serve as enough documentation to rule the feature (WA-3) as exempt, allowing the Client to proceed with the expansion of the Berm?

The current State permitting frameworks for wetlands that are NOT federally jurisdictional, and therefore not subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act are: 1. Isolated wetlands may be permitted in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .1300 et. seq. 2. There is currently no permitting mechanism to authorize impacts to federally non -jurisdictional wetlands that are not Isolated. The term "Isolated" was used by the USACE prior to June 2020. And the Division will follow the same process used by the USACE. You will want to conduct analysis of whether there is a "significant nexus" for the wetland in question as outlined in Clean Water Act Jurisdiction Following the U.S. Supreme Court's Decision in Ra anos v United States & Carabell v. United States. if you want Division confirmation of your analysis then you would send your documentation to the appropriate DWR regional staff. The Division may need to conduct a site visit after submittal of documentation and prior to confirmation.

SAW-2020-01778 County: Chatham U.S.G.S. Quad: NC- Moncure NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION Requestor: Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. Kevin Thomas Address: 3701 Arco Corporate Dr., suite 400 Charlotte, NC 28273 Telephone Number: 410-259-4745 E-mail: kthomas a,cecinc.com Size (acres) 8.26 Nearest Town Moncure Nearest Waterway Shaddox Creek River Basin Cape Fear USGS HUC 03030002 Coordinates Latitude: 35.6010 Longitude:-79.0397 Location description: The project area is approximately 8.26 acres located at the existing Arauco Flakeboard Plant, near the town of Moncure, Chatham County, North Carolina. Indicate Which of the Following Apply_: A. Preliminary Determination ❑ There appear to be wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the wetlands at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B.

(Arauco), located at 985 Corinth Rd., Moncure, NC 27559, Chatham County, owns and operates a medium density fiberboard and wood moulding manufacturing plant in Moncure, NC. Process wastewater that is generated by plant operations and on -site air scrubber units is collected in Pond 5D for settling. From Pond 5D, settled wastewater is currently pumped to several grit settling ponds (Pond 4, 2 and 3), mixed with treated sanitary wastewater in Pond 2 then pumped from Pond 3 to multiple spray fields under NC non -discharge Permit No. WQ0003396. The current sprayfield has a declining hydraulic capacity, and now is rated for approximately 39,000 GPD, approximately 31% of the permitted daily wastewater flow. For this reason, Arauco plans to discontinue spray field operations and discharge pond effluent to the municipal sanitary sewer system owned and operated by the City of Sanford. To keep the plant operational, Arauco now operates under an additional pump and haul permit (WQ0041434) to dispose of wastewater that cannot be pumped to the irrigation system. In order to keep the existing wastewater pond in service, North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) is requiring Arauco to raise the existing top elevation of the Pond 5D berm (approximately elevation 172.5) two feet above the published Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Map 100-year flood plain elevation (elevation 176.5). After review of multiple options, Arauco has chosen to modify its WWTP by raising the berm of the wastewater pond 5D two feet above the 100 year flood plain elevation while maintaining the current pond volume to continue its use as a facultative lagoon. The facility's sanitary wastewater is collected and treated separately from the process WWTP, therefore this proposed modification request is only for process wastewater treatment. This permit application report provides a general description of the project with wastewater characterization, treatment plant modifications design, and provides information requested on North Carolina's Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) permit modification application form WWIS 06-16. Appendix A includes the completed WWIS06-16 form. Design drawings and technical specifications for the modification are being submitted under separate cover for NCDEQ's review. Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. -1- Wastewater Irrigation System Permit Modification R.1 February 2021 1.1 GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION Existing major WWTP processes include a 6.2 MG working volume storage lagoon (Pond 5D) (volume to El. 170.5, 2 feet below top of berm El 172.5) and a wastewater spray irrigation system serving eight (8) spray fields totaling 33.85 acres. This process handles process wastewater only. Sanitary wastewater is handled in an on -site biological treatment plant and mixed with pond 5D wastewater prior to sprayfield application. There is an adjoining Pond 5C segregated from the industrial WWTP system that receives local rainwater (i.e., rainwater into the pond itself). There is no typical discharge from Pond 5C. Pond 5C has the ability to overflow into 5D to lower its volume. Pond 5C was created to be process makeup water. Upon completion of the Pond 5D modifications, Pond 5C will only be used for local stormwater storage. 1.2 PROCESS WASTEWATER CHARACTERIZATION A process flow schematic for wastewater at the facility is attached as Appendix B. Influent process wastewater characterization is summarized in the following table (Table 1). Wastewater samples were collected from the 100,000 gallon screened water storage tank ("100 K Tank") over December 2019 — June 2020. This tank is discharged directly to Pond 5D for disposal. One sample was collected directly from Pond 5D as well during the 6/29/20 sampling event. A summary of the characterization data collected is included as Appendix C. 1.3 TREATMENT PLANT EFFLUENT Table 2 is a summary of the wastewater either sent to sprayfield or to pump and haul. Both discharge sources are collected from the same location. Table 3 is a summary of typical wastewater characteristics from ongoing pump and haul operations. This wastewater is also sampled from Pond 3, and includes additional parameters not included in the sprayfield effluent. These samples are indicative of an effluent quality acceptable to the City of Sanford.

following subsections. Proposed modifications consist of raising the berm on Pond 5D to 2 feet above the 100 year flood plain elevation. In order to complete the berm modification with minimal site impact, portions of Pond 5D will be filled in to raise the berm. To offset the lost volume, it is proposed to expand Pond 5D into a portion of the adjoining 5C pond. Pond 5C is an adjoining pond currently only used for additional rainwater storage by the mill. Pond 5C does not see significant stormwater runoff from the mill property, only from the local pond area inside the berm. Pond 5C was formerly a process water pond, and was created when Pond 5 was split in half, creating Ponds 5C and 5D. Pond 5D has continued use as a process wastewater pond. Pond 5C does not have process wastewater discharged to it. Once the City of Sanford has completed its sewer line extension, Pond 5C will be converted to use as a stormwater storage pond only. The Pond 5C capacity (at El. 172.5) will be reduced from approximately 8.28 MG to 4.28 MG. This volume reduction is not anticipated to effect the current Pond 5C operation. No other modification to the treatment system are proposed. Engineering design calculations are included as Appendix D.

Rcicr to lnb p APPENDIX D ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS 1.1 BASIS OF DESIGN It is proposed to raise the berm surrounding existing Pond 5D from an elevation of 172.50 to an elevation of 178.50. This will bring the top of berm to an elevation that is 2.0 feet above the FEMA Flood Elevation of 176.50 determined in this area for Shaddox Creek as shown on FEMA FIRM Map 3710968700K. The intent of the design is to maintain the volume of existing Pond 5D without changing the working elevation of the pond. By maintaining the working elevation of the pond, the need to change upstream process piping is avoided. The existing Pond 5D has a top of berm elevation of 172.50, and a working elevation of 170.50. The bottom of pond varies from 161.00 to 165.00. The existing and proposed volume calculations are shown in Table 1.0 below. The numbers were derived using existing and proposed one -foot contours and applying the conic method to determine the volume of pond.

Domestic Residuals II. Mud & Sediment III. Process wastewater residuals The Moncure site generates residuals in the three different areas. Each residual stream for each area has differing characteristics and is handled in its own respective way. The characteristics and handling methods will be described below for each residual stream. I. Domestic Residuals are generated by Moncure site employees. a. 100% of the domestic wastewater is tributary to and treated by the D"CO Tertiary Wastewater Treatment Plant. b. Sludge is wasted to the sludge holding tank c. When necessary the tank is pumped by a septage hauler and transported to the City of Sanford Municipal Wastewater Treatment plant for treatment and disposal.

RATIONALE FOR LIMITATIONS: As listed on the IUP Limits Page(s), PART I, Section F of the [UP. RATIONALE #1: Review of IU Monitoring Data, with no Over Allocation situation: The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based on a review of monitoring data for the permittee to determine what ranges of concentrations are currently being discharged. To account for sample variability if needed a factor was applied to the monitoring data to determine the permit limit. Permit limits assigned by the Local IUP Control Authority cannot results in an Over Allocation situation for any pollutants. VA RUP synopsis RATIONALE #2a: Categorical Industrial Limits, with no Over Allocation situation: Check here if Combined Wastestream Formula (CWF) or other categorical limits calculations were used. If used, please attach calculations: (see CWF Spreadsheet, Appendix 6-F Were used (attach calculations) Were not used X The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based on the categorical regulations. These limits do not result in over allocations. RATIONALE #3a: Over Allocation Prevention, with IU pollutant reduction: The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this IUP based on allocating the Maximum Allowable Industrial Loading (MAIL) determined with the Headworks Analysis (HWA) among all Industrial Users. The total loading of each pollutant from alI permitted discharges does not exceed the MAIL. These limits do not result on over allocations. Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, Cyanide RATIONALE #3b: Interim Limits for IU pollutant reduction: The following pollutants were assigned interim numerical limits in this IUP to allow time for the industry to come compliance with final limits that will not in over allocations. RATIONALE #4: 4.) Other Rationale for Limitations: The following rationale was used for developing IUP Limits_ a. Parameters found in the discharge and/or are Non -Categorical Parameters where No Limit are needed or assi 7ned in the IUP Parameter Rationale Molybdenum and Selenium LTMP/40 CFR 503 required Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, CBOD, TSS, and Monitored for data and/or Surcharge O&G only Ammonia, Arsenic, Chloride, Mercury, Toluene Parameters found in discharge monitored for data only b. Parameters that were marked on the application as present in discharge but were not given monitoring requirements. Parameter Rationale N/A RATIONALE #5a: Non -Categorical Parameters where No Limit needed or assigned in an IUP: The following pollutants were not assigned numerical limits in this IUP because the loadings for these pollutants from this IU were less than 5% of the MARL. The loading of these pollutants from this IU is considered insi niticant at tms time.

Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists.

Extensions of Contract Time for Abnormal Weather: 1. If the basis exists for an extension of time in accordance with article 12.03 of the Standard General Conditions of the Construction Contract, an extension of time on the basis of Abnormal Weather may be granted only for the number of Weather Delay Days in excess of the number of days listed as the Standard Baseline for the period of the contract. 2. In the event adverse weather other than those conditions described in Section C, "Adverse Weather and Rain Delay Days", delays construction activity, such as temperature extremes. The baseline must be adjusted to reflect the number of expected days as described in Section D, "Development of Adverse Weather Baseline". 3. In order to determine precipitation at the contract site the contractor shall maintain a rain gauge on site. The rain gauge should be read daily and documentation of Adverse Weather Days should be coordinated with the Engineer's Representative. B. Standard Baseline for Average Climactic Range: 1. The Engineer has reviewed weather data available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and determined a Standard Baseline of average climatic range for the City of Asheville, North Carolina. In the event that the standard baseline for the construction site differs significantly from the Asheville, North Carolina Standard Baseline it will be the Contractor's responsibility to provide documentation of said differences. 2. Standard Baseline shall be regarded as the normal and anticipatable number calendar days for each month during which construction activity shall be expected to be prevented and suspended by cause of adverse weather. Suspension of construction activity for the number of days each month as listed in the Standard Baseline is included in the Work and is not eligible for extension of Contract Time. 3. Standard Baseline is as follows: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 8 6 6 7 5 8 7 5 6 3 5 7 C. Adverse Weather and Rain Delay Days: 1. Adverse Weather is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following conditions which prevents exterior construction activity or access to the site within twenty-four (24) hours: a. Precipitation (rain, snow, and/or ice) in excess of two -tenths inch (0.20'� liquid measure. b. Standing snow in excess of one inch (1.00"). 2. Adverse Weather may include, if appropriate, "dry -out" or "mud" days: a. For rain days above the standard baseline, b. Only if there is a hindrance to site access or site work such as excavation, backfill, footings; and, C. At a rate no greater than 1 make-up day for each day or consecutive days of rain beyond the standard baseline that total 1.0 inch or more, liquid measure, unless specifically recommended otherwise by the Engineer. A Weather Delay Day may be counted if adverse weather prevents work on the project for fifty percent (50%) or more of the Contractor's scheduled work day, February 2021 00 73 00 - 9 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents including a weekend day or holiday if the Contractor has scheduled construction activity for that day. D. Development of Adverse Weather Baseline: 1. Development of Adverse Weather Data — This is the process of collecting, compiling and analyzing the raw weather data (NOAA and other sources) that forms the baseline for estimating anticipated delays and project durations and determining the occurrence of unusually severe weather. The following actions make up the development process: a. Analyze the project scope and site geography to determine which weather parameters (temperature, precipitation, wind, etc.) are applicable. The parameters selected should present adverse conditions that could potentially delay construction activities. b. Review the technical specifications to determine the numerical values that will be assigned to each parameter in order to establish the anticipated adverse weather. Usually when two or more construction phases are affected by the same parameter, the less severe numerical value should be used (i.e. if roofing work is delayed by temperatures below 40 degrees and concrete work is delayed by temperatures below 32 degrees, then the numerical value used to define adverse weather should be 40 degrees unless some other factor renders the roofing phase insignificant in terms of schedule criticality). C. Compile the number of days per month that the anticipated weather is expected to be adverse by analysis of NOAA or other weather data. When at all possible, the last 10 years of consecutive data should be used to establish the baseline. However, in the absence of 10 years of data, a shorter period may be used. It may be necessary to extrapolate the number of calendar days that the temperature is expected to fall below the selected numerical value (say, 40 degrees) from raw data. d. Adverse weather data must be periodically updated in order to reflect changes in the 10-year averages and incorporate any necessary corrections derived from actual field experience. It is recommended that data used for establishing adverse weather baselines be reviewed annually. 3.3 PROJECT CLOSE-OUT A. Final Documentation: Prior to final payment, and before the issuance of a final certificate for payment in accordance with the provisions of the General Conditions, the Contractor shall file with the Engineer the documents listed hereinafter: 1. Guarantees: The Contractor's one (1) year guarantee required by the General Conditions and all other guarantees stated in the Specifications. 2.

Any layer found too wet for proper compaction shall be allowed to dry before it is rolled. Placing or rolling of material on earth fills will not be permitted during or immediately after rainfall which increase the moisture content beyond the limit of satisfactory compaction. The earth fill shall be brought up uniformly and its February 2021 02221 - 3 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents top shall be kept graded and sloped. Compacted earth fill that is damaged by washing, shall be replaced by CONTRACTOR in an acceptable manner. 3.4 ROLLING A. Approved tamping rollers shall be used for compacting the structural fill which they can effectively reach. Each drum of a roller shall have an outside diameter of not less than 5 feet and shall be not less than 4 feet or more than 6 feet in length. The space between two adjacent drums, when on a level surface, shall be not less than 12 inches or more than 15 inches. Each drum shall be free to pivot about an axis parallel to the direction of travel. Each drum shall be equipped with a suitable pressure -relief valve. B. At least one tamping foot shall be provided for each 100 square inches of drum surface. The space measured on the surface of the drum, between the centers of any two adjacent tamping feet, shall be not less than 9 inches. The length of each tamping foot from the outside surface of the drum shall be maintained at not less than 9 inches. The cross -sectional area of each tamping foot shall be not more than 10 square inches at a plane normal to the axis of the shank, 6 inches from the drum surface, and shall be maintained at not less than 7 square inches nor more than 10 square inches at a plane normal to the axis of the shank, 8 inches from the drum surface. C. The weight of a roller when fully loaded shall be not less than 4,000 pounds per foot of length of drum. The loading used in the roller drums and operation of the rollers shall be as required to obtain the required compaction. If more than one roller is used on any one layer of fill, all rollers so used shall be of the same type and essentially of the same dimensions and weight. Tractors used for pulling rollers shall have sufficient power to pull the rollers satisfactorily when drums are fully loaded with sand and water. During the operation of rolling, CONTRACTOR shall keep the spaces between the tamping feet clear of materials which would impair the effectiveness of the tamping rollers. February 2021 02221 - 4 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents D. The number of trips of the roller required over each layer shall be such as will give at least 50 percent coverage. Tandem drums may be used to reduce the number of trips. In order to perform this operation to best advantage, the moisture content of the top two layers must be right, otherwise the structural fill will sink and weave under the roller or material trucks, indicating that moisture content is excessive and compaction inadequate. If such condition develops to an unsatisfactory extent, operations shall be suspended until the structural fill solidifies. Adjacent roller trips shall overlap to insure proper coverage. All parts of the structural fill shall be compacted to the extent ordered by ENGINEER in accordance with the results and requirements described and specified hereinabove. In the early part of the Work, various numbers of roller trips will be tried in order to determine the proper compaction method. CONTRACTOR shall vary the number of roller trips as directed and shall cooperate with ENGINEER in obtaining a solid, tight structural fill. A minimum of two passes of roller trips shall be completed on the structural fill. E. Other types of rollers may be used if it can be shown that equal or better results can be obtained. If CONTRACTOR wishes to make such substitution, he shall demonstrate the effectiveness of the roller by actual soil compaction results with laboratory work performed by an approved soil testing laboratory. 3.5 FINISHING STRUCTURAL FILL A. The structural fill shall be constructed to the elevations, lines, grades and cross - sections as shown, specified or otherwise directed by ENGINEER with such increased heights and widths as deemed necessary by ENGINEER to allow for later shrinkage and settlement, but in no case will such increase exceed 3 percent of the dimensions shown. The structural fill shall be maintained in a completely satisfactory manner and surfaces shall be compact and accurately graded before riprap, paving or topsoil is placed on them. 3.6 INSPECTION A. ENGINEER shall examine the areas and conditions under which structural fill Work is to be performed and notify CONTRACTOR of conditions detrimental to the proper a timely completion of the Work. Do not proceed with the Work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in an acceptable manner.

Where trench sheeting is left in place, such sheeting shall not be braced against the pipe, but shall be supported in a manner which will preclude concentrated loads or horizontal thrusts on the pipe. Cross braces installed above the pipe to support sheeting may be removed after pipe embedment has been completed. B. Stabilization: 1. Subgrades for concrete structures and trench bottoms shall be firm, dense, and thoroughly compacted and consolidated; free from mud and muck; and sufficiently stable to remain firm and intact under the feet of the workmen. 2. Subgrades for concrete structures or trench bottoms, which are otherwise solid but which become mucky on top due to construction operations, shall be reinforced with one or more layers of crushed rock or gravel. The stabilizing material shall be spread and compacted to a depth of not less than 6" below the bottom of the structure or pipe. Not more than 1 /2" depth of mud or muck shall be allowed to remain on stabilized trench bottoms when the pipe bedding material is placed February 2021 31 04 00 - 4 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents thereon. The finished elevation of stabilized subgrades for concrete structures shall not be above subgrade elevations indicated on the drawings. C. Cutting Concrete or Asphalt Surface Construction: 1. All pavement cutting and repair shall be done in accordance with local ordinances. Cuts in concrete and asphaltic concrete shall be no larger than necessary to provide adequate working space for proper installation of pipe and appurtenances. Cutting shall be performed with a concrete saw in a manner which will provide a clean groove the complete thickness of the surface material along each side of the trench and along the perimeter of cuts for structures. 2. Concrete and asphaltic concrete over trenches excavated for pipelines shall be removed so that a shoulder not less than 12" in width at any point is left between the cut edge of the surface and the top edge of the trench. Trench width at the bottom shall not be greater than at the top and no undercutting will be permitted. Cuts shall be made to and between straight or accurately marked curved lines which, unless otherwise required, shall be parallel to the center line of the trench. 3. Pavement or other surfaces removed for connections to existing lines or structures shall not be of greater extent that necessary for the installation. 4. Where the trench parallels the length of concrete walks and the trench location is all or partially under the walk, the entire walk shall be removed and replaced. Where the trench crosses drives, walks, curbs, or other surface construction, the surface construction shall be removed and replaced between existing joints or between saw cuts as specified for payment. D. Site Grade: 1. General: Uniformly grade areas within limits of grading under this section, including adjacent transition areas. Smooth finish the surface within specified tolerances; compact with uniform levels or slopes between points where elevations are shown, or between such points and existing grades. 2. Ground Surface Preparation: Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and deleterious materials from ground surface prior to placement of fills. Plow, strip, or break up sloped surfaces steeper than 1 vertical to 4 horizontal so that fill material will bond with existing surface. Shape the subgrade as indicated on the drawings by forking, furrowing, or plowing so that the first layer of new material placed thereon will be well bonded to it. 3.2 FIELD MEASUREMENTS A. Alignment, Grade, and Minimum Cover: I. Vertical and horizontal alignment of pipes, and the maximum joint deflection used in connection therewith, shall be in conformity with requirements of the section covering installation of pipe. 2. Where pipe grades or elevations are not definitely fixed by the contract drawings, trenches shall be excavated to a depth sufficient to provide a minimum depth of backfill cover over the top of the pipe cover depths may be necessary on vertical curves or to provide necessary clearance beneath existing pipes, conduits, drains, drainage structures, or other obstructions encountered at normal pipe grades. Measurement of pipe cover depth shall be made vertically from the outside top of February 2021 31 04 00 - 5 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents pipe to finished ground or pavement surface elevation except where future surface elevations are indicated on the drawings. B. Limiting Trench Widths: Trenches shall be excavated to a width that will provide adequate working space and sidewall clearances for proper pipe installation, jointing, and embedment. For the purposes of quantity measurements and payments, maximum trench widths shall be no greater than the pipe outside diameter plus 24" (12" either side of pipe). 3.3 PROTECTION A. Temporary Protection: Protect structures, utilities, sidewalks, pavements, and other facilities from damages caused by settlement, lateral movement, undermining, washout, and other hazards created by earthwork operations. B. Sheeting and Bracing: Make all excavations in accordance with Federal, State, and Local health and safety rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the Department of Labor, Occupation Safety and Health Administration, "Safety and Health Regulations for Construction". Furnish, put in place, and maintain such sheeting, bracing, etc., as may be necessary to support the sides of the excavation to comply with the above mentioned rules and regulations. C. Blasting: 1. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damage caused by blasting operations. Suitable methods shall be employed to confine all materials lifted by blasting within the limits of the excavation or trench. 2. All rock which cannot be handled and compacted as earth shall be kept separate from other excavated materials and shall not be mixed with backfill or embankment materials except as specified or directed. D. Care and Restoration of Property: 1. Enclose the trunks of trees which are to remain adjacent to the work with substantial wooden boxes of such height as may be necessary to protect them from piled material, equipment or equipment operation. Use excavating machinery and cranes of suitable type and operate the equipment with care to prevent injury to remaining tree trunks, roots, branches and limbs. 2. Do not cut branches, limbs, and roots except by permission of the Engineer. Cut smoothly and neatly without splitting or crushing. In case of cutting or unavoidable injury to branches, limbs, and trunks of trees, neatly trim the cut or injured portions and cover with an application of grafting wax and tree healing paint as directed. 3. Protect by suitable means all cultivated hedges, shrubs and plants that might be injured by the Contractor's operations. Promptly heel in any such trees or shrubbery necessary to be removed and replanted. Perform heeling in and replanting under the direction of a licensed and experienced nurseryman. Replant in their original position all removed shrubbery and trees after construction operations have been substantially completed and care for until growth is reestablished. February 2021 31 04 00 - 6 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents 4. Replace cultivated hedges, shrubs, and plants injured to such a degree as to affect their growth or diminish their beauty or usefulness, by items of kind and quality at least equal to the kind and quality existing at the start of the work. 5. Do not operate tractors, bulldozers or other power -operated equipment on paved surfaces if the treads or wheels of the equipment are so shaped as to cut or otherwise injure the surfaces. 6. Restore all surfaces, including lawns, grassed, and planted areas that have been injured by the Contractor's operations, to a condition at least equal to that in which they were found immediately before the work was begun. Use suitable materials and methods for such restoration. Maintain all restored plantings by cutting, trimming, fertilizing, etc., until acceptance. Restore existing property or structures as promptly as practicable and do not leave until the end of construction period. E. Protection of Streams: Exercise reasonable precaution to prevent the silting of streams. Provide at Contractor's expense temporary erosion and sediment control measures to prevent the silting of streams and existing drainage facilities. The Contractor shall size structures and conform fully with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. F. Air Pollution: 1. Comply with all pollution control rules, regulations, ordinances, and statutes which apply to any work performed under the Contract, including any air pollution control rules, regulations, ordinances and statutes, or any municipal regulations pertaining to air pollution. 2. During the progress of the work, maintain the area of activity, including sweeping and sprinkling of streets as necessary, so as to minimize the creation and dispersion of dust. If the Engineer decides that it is necessary to use calcium chloride or more effective dust control, furnish and spread the material, as directed, and without additional compensation. 3.4 TRENCH EXCAVATION A. Length of Trench: 1. No more trenches shall be opened in advance of pipe laying than is necessary to expedite the work. One block or 400 feet (whichever is the shorter) shall be the maximum length of open trench on any line under construction. 2. Except where tunneling is indicated on the drawings, is specified, or is permitted by the Engineer, all trench excavation shall be open cut from the surface. B. Trench Excavation: 1. General: Perform all excavation of every description and of whatever substance encountered so that the pipe can be laid to the alignment and depth shown on the drawings. 2. Brace and shore all trenches, where required, in accordance with Federal, State, and Local health and safety rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the Department of Labor, Occupation Safety and Health Administration, "Safety and Health Regulations for Construction". February 2021 31 04 00 - 7 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents 3. Make all excavations by open cut unless otherwise specified or indicated on the drawings. 4. Width of Trenches: Excavate trenches sufficiently wide to allow proper installation of pipe, fittings and other materials. Measurement and payment quantities will be based on a maximum trench width of not more than 12" clear of pipe on either side at any point. Do not widen trenches by scraping or loosening materials from the sides. 5. Trench Excavation in Earth: Earth excavation includes all excavation of whatever substance encountered. In locations where pipe is to be bedded in earth excavated trenches, fine grade the bottoms of such trenches to allow firm bearing for the bottom of the pipe on undisturbed earth. Where any part of the trench has been excavated below the grade of the pipe, fill the part excavated below such grade with pipe bedding material and compact at the Contractor's expense. 6. Trench Excavation in Fill: If pipe is to be laid in embankments or other recently filled material, first place the fill material to the finish grade or to a height of at least one foot above the top of the pipe, whichever is the lesser. Take particular care to ensure maximum consolidation of material under the pipe location. Excavate the pipe trench as though in undisturbed material. 7. Trench Bottom in Poor Soil: Excavate and remove unstable or unsuitable soil to a width and depth, as directed by the Engineer, and refill with a thoroughly compacted gravel bedding. 8. Bell Holes: Provide bell holes at each joint to permit the joint to be made properly and to provide a continuous bearing and support for the pipe. C. Trench Backfill: 1. General: Unless otherwise specified or indicated on the drawings, use suitable material for backfill which was removed in the course of making the construction excavations. Do not use frozen material for the backfill and do not place backfill on frozen material. Remove previously frozen material before new backfill is placed. Start backfilling as soon as practicable after the pipes have been laid, or the structures have been built and are structurally adequate to support the loads, including construction loads to which they will be subjected, and proceed until its completion. 2. With the exception mentioned below in this paragraph, do not backfill trenches at pipe joints until after that section of the pipeline has successfully passed any specified tests required. Should the Contractor wish to minimize the maintenance of lights, and barricades, and the obstruction of traffic, he may, at his own risk, backfill the entire trench as soon as practicable after installation of pipe, and the related structures have acquired a suitable degree of strength. He shall, however, be responsible for removing and later replacing such backfill, at his own expense, should he be ordered to do so in order to locate and repair or replace leaking or defective joints or pipe. 3. Material: The nature of the materials will govern both their acceptability for backfill and the methods best suited for their placement and compaction in the backfill. Both are subject to the approval of the Engineer. Do not place stone or rock fragments larger than 4" in greatest dimension in the backfill. Do not drop large masses of backfill material into the trench in such a manner as to endanger the pipeline. Use a timber grillage to break the fall of material dropped from a height of February 2021 31 04 00 - 8 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents more than 5 feet. Exclude pieces of bituminous pavement from the backfill unless their use is expressly permitted. 4. Zone Around Pipe: Place bedding material to the level shown on the Drawings and work material carefully around the pipe to insure that all voids are filled, particularly in bell holes. For backfill up to a level of 2 feet over the top of the pipe, use only selected materials containing no rock, clods or organic materials. Place the backfill and compact thoroughly under the pipe haunches and up to the mid -line of the pipe in layers not exceeding 6" in depth. Place each layer and tamp carefully and uniformly so as to eliminate the possibility of lateral displacement. Place and compact the remainder of the zone around the pipe and to a height of one foot above the pipe in layers not exceeding 6" and compact to a maximum density of at least 100 % as determined by ASTM D0698. 5. Tamping: Deposit and spread backfill materials in uniform, parallel layers not exceeding 12" thick before compaction. Tamp each layer before the next layer is placed to obtain a thoroughly compacted mass. Furnish and use, if necessary, an adequate number of power driven tampers, each weighing at least 20 pounds for this purpose. Take care that the material close to the bank, as well as in all other portions of the trench, is thoroughly compacted. When the trench width and the depth to which backfill has been placed are sufficient to make it feasible, and it can be done effectively and without damage to the pipe, backfill may, on approval of the Engineer, be compacted by the use of suitable rollers, tractors, or similarly powered equipment instead of by tamping. For compaction by tamping (or rolling), the rate at which backfilling material is deposited in the trench shall not exceed that permitted by the facilities for its spreading, leveling and compacting as furnished by the Contractor. 6. Wet the material by sprinkling, if necessary, to insure proper compaction by tamping (or rolling). Perform no compaction by tamping (or rolling) when the material is too wet either from rain or applied water to be compacted properly. 7. Trench Compaction: Compact backfill in pipe trenches to the maximum density as shown on the drawings, or as listed in the subsection entitled COMPACTION, with a moisture content within the range of values of maximum density as indicated by the moisture -density relationship curve. 3.5 SITE GRADE A. Placement and Compaction: 1. Place backfill and fill material in layers not more than 8" in loose depth. Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide the optimum moisture content. Compact each layer to the required percentage of maximum density for each area classification. Do not place backfill or material on surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice. 2. In areas not accessible to rollers or compactors, compact the fill with mechanical hand tampers. If the mixture is excessively moistened by rain, aerate the material by means of blade graders, harrows, or other approved equipment, until the moisture content of the mixture is satisfactory. Finish the surface of the layer by blading or rolling with a smooth roller, or a combination thereof, and leave the surface smooth and free from waves and inequalities. February 2021 31 04 00 - 9 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents 3. Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structures, to the required elevations. Take care to prevent wedging action of backfill against structures. Carry the material uniformly around all parts of the structure to approximately the same elevation in each lift. 4. When existing ground surface has a density less than that specified under the subsection entitled COMPACTION for the particular area classification, break up the ground surface, pulverize, moisture -condition to the optimum moisture content, and compact to required depth and percentage of maximum density. B. Grading Outside Building Lines: Grade to drain away from structures to prevent ponding of water. Finish surface free from irregular surface changes. C. Planting Areas: Finish areas to receive topsoil to within not more than one inch (1") above or below the required subgrade elevations, compacted as specified, and free from irregular surface changes. D. Walks: Shape the surface of areas under walks to line, grade, and cross-section, with the finish surface not more than 0" above or 1" below the required subgrade elevation, compacted as specified, and graded to prevent ponding of water after rains. E. Pavements: 1. Shape the surface of the areas under pavement to line, grade and cross section, with finish surface not more than 1 /2" above or below the required subgrade elevation, compacted as specified, and graded to prevent ponding of water after rains. Include such operations as plowing, discing, and any moisture or aerating required to provide the optimum moisture content for compaction. 2. Fill low areas resulting from removal of unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and other deleterious materials, using satisfactory soil material. 3. Shape to line, grade, and cross section as shown on the drawings. F. Protection of Graded Areas: Protect newly graded areas from traffic and erosion, and keep free of trash and debris. Repair and re-establish grades in settled, eroded, and rutted areas to specified tolerances. G. Reconditioning Compacted Areas: Where completed compacted areas are disturbed by subsequent construction operations or adverse weather prior to acceptance of work, scarify surface, reshape, and compact to required density prior to further construction. H. Unauthorized Excavation: 1. Unauthorized excavation consists of the removal of materials beyond indicated elevations without the specific direction of the Engineer. Under footings, foundations, bases, etc., fill unauthorized excavation by extending the indicated bottom elevation of the concrete to the bottom of the excavation, without altering the required top elevation. Lean concrete fill may be used to bring elevations to proper position only when acceptable to the Engineer. 2. For pipe trenches and elsewhere, backfill and compact unauthorized excavations as specified for authorized excavations of the same classification, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. February 2021 31 04 00 - 10 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents 3.6 BACKFILL AROUND STRUCTURES A. General: Unless otherwise specified or indicated on the drawings, use suitable material for backfill which was removed in the course of making the backfill and do not place backfill which was removed in the course of making the construction excavations. Do not use frozen material for the backfill and do not place backfill upon frozen material. Remove previously frozen material before new backfill is placed. B. Material: Approved selected materials available from the excavations may be used for backfilling around structures. Obtain material needed in addition to that of construction excavations from off -site borrow pits selected by the Contractor. Furnish all borrow material needed on the work. Place and compact all material, whether from the excavation or borrow, to make a dense, stable fill. Use fill material which contains no vegetation, masses of roots, individual roots over 18" long or more than 1/2" in diameter, stones over 4" in diameter, or porous matter. Organic matter must not exceed negligible quantities. C. Placing Backfill: Do not place backfill against or on structures until they have attained sufficient strength to support the loads (including construction loads) to which they will be subjected, without distortion, cracking, or other damage. Make special leakage tests, if required, as soon as practicable after the structures are structurally adequate and other necessary work has been done. Use the best of the excavated materials in backfilling within 2 feet of the structure. Avoid unequal soil pressures by depositing the material evenly around the structure. 3.7 COMPACTION A. General: Control soil compaction during construction providing at least the minimum percentage of density specified for each area classification. B.

It shall contain not less than 85% of the calcium and magnesium carbonates and shall be of such fineness that at least 90% will pass a No. 10 sieve and at least 50% will pass a No. 100 sieve. C. Seed: 1. The quality of seed and all operations in connection with the furnishing of this material shall comply with the requirements of the North Carolina Seed Law and regulations adopted by the North Carolina Board of Agriculture. Seed shall have February 2021 3201 00 - 1 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents been approved by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture or any agency approved by the Engineer before being sown, and no seed will be accepted with a date of test more than 9 months prior to the date of sowing. Such testing however, will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for furnishing and sowing seed that meets these specifications at the time of sowing. When a low percentage of germination causes the quality of the seed to fall below the minimum pure live seed specified, the Contractor may elect, subject to the approval of the Engineer, to increase the rate of seeding sufficiently to obtain the minimum pure live seed contents specified, provided that such an increase in seeding does not cause the quantity of noxious weed seed per square yard to exceed the quantity that would be allowable at the regular rate of seed. 2. During handling and storing, the seed shall be cared for in such a manner that it will be protected from damage by heat, moisture, rodents or other causes. 3. Seed shall be entirely free from bulblets or seed of Johnson Grass, Nutgrass, Sandbur, Wild Onion, Wild Garlic, and Bermuda Grass. The specifications for restricted noxious weed seed refers to the number per pound, singly or collectively, of Blessed Thistle, Wild Radish, Canada Thistle, Corncockle, Field Bindweed, Quackgrass, Dodders, Dock, Horsenettle, Bracted Plantain, Buckhorn or Wild Mustard; but in no case shall the number of Blessed Thistle or Wild Radish exceed 27 seeds of each per pound.

Tackifier shall be applied evenly over area creating uniform appearance. Rates of application will vary with conditions. Asphalt shall not be used in freezing weather. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 PREPARATION A. Protection of Existing Trees and Vegetation: 1. Protect existing trees and other vegetation indicated to remain in place against cutting, breaking or skinning of roots, skinning and bruising of bark, smothering of trees by stockpiling construction materials or excavated materials within drip line, excess foot or vehicular traffic, or parking of vehicles within drip line. Provide wood or metal stakes set on 8 to 10 foot centers and connected at a 4'-0" height by 2" minimum brightly colored flagging tape to protect trees and vegetation to remain. Set perimeter of protection at the drip line of trees to remain unless approved otherwise by the Engineer. 2. Provide protection for roots over 1-1/2" diameter cut during construction operations. Cleanly cut off end of damaged root and coat cut faces with an emulsified asphalt, or other acceptable coating, formulated for use on damaged plant February 2021 3201 00 - 2 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents tissues.

The Contractor shall not remove or damage trees and shrubs which are outside the Clearing Limits established by the Owner or those within the Clearing Limits designated to remain. 4. Repair trees scheduled to remain and damaged by construction operations in a manner acceptable to the Engineer. Repair damaged trees promptly to prevent progressive deterioration caused by damage. 5. Replace trees scheduled to remain and damaged beyond repair by construction operations, as determined by the Engineer with trees of similar size and species. Repair and replacement of trees scheduled to remain and damaged by construction operations or lack of adequate protection during construction operations shall be at the Contractor's expense. B. Grading: 1. Rough grading shall be done as soon as all excavation required in the area has been backfilled. The necessary earthwork shall be accomplished to bring the existing ground to the desired finish elevations as shown on the Contract Drawings or otherwise directed. 2. Fine grading shall consist of shaping the final contours for drainage and removing all large rock, clumps of earth, roots and waste construction material. It shall also include thorough loosening of the soil to a depth of 6" by plowing, discing, harrowing or other approved methods until the area is acceptable as suitable for subsequent landscaping operations. The work of establishing vegetation shall be performed on a section by section basis immediately upon completion of earthwork or pipeline installation. 3. Upon failure or neglect on the part of the Contractor to coordinate his grading with seeding and mulching operations and diligently pursue the control of erosion and siltation, the Engineer may suspend the Contractor's grading operations until such time as the work is coordinated in a manner acceptable to the Engineer. C. Seedbed Preparation: 1. The Contractor shall cut and satisfactorily dispose of weeds or other unacceptable growth on the areas to be seeded. Uneven and rough areas outside the graded section, such as crop rows, farm contours, ditches and ditch spoil banks, fence line and hedgerow soil accumulations, and other minor irregularities which cannot be obliterated by normal seedbed preparation operations, shall be shaped and smoothed as directed by the Engineer to provide for more effective seeding and for ease of subsequent mowing operations. 2. The soil shall then be scarified or otherwise loosened to a depth of not less than 6" except as otherwise provided below or otherwise directed by the Engineer. Clods shall be broken and the top 2" to 3" of soil shall be worked into an acceptable seedbed by the use of soil pulverizers, drags, or harrows; or by other methods approved by the Engineer. 3. On 2:1 slopes a seedbed preparation will be required that is the same depth as that required on flatter areas, although the degree of smoothness may be reduced from that required on the flatter areas if so permitted by the Engineer. February 2021 3201 00 - 3 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents 4. On cut slopes that are steeper than 2:1, both the depth of preparation and the degree of smoothness of the seedbed may be reduced as permitted by the Engineer, but in all cases the slope surface shall be scarified, grooved, trenched, or punctured so as to provide pockets, ridges, or trenches in which the seeding materials can lodge. 5. On cut slopes that are either 2:1 or steeper, the Engineer may permit the preparation of a partial or complete seedbed during the grading of the slope. If at the time of seeding and mulching operations such preparation is still in condition acceptable to the Engineer, additional seedbed preparation may be reduced or eliminated. 6. The preparation of seedbeds shall not be done when the soil is frozen, extremely wet, or when the Engineer determines that it is in an otherwise unfavorable working condition. 3.2 APPLICATION A. Seed shall be applied by means of a hydro -seeder or other approved methods. The rates of application of seed, fertilizer and limestone shall be as stated in Table I. B. Equipment to be used for the application, covering or compaction of limestone, fertilizer, and seed shall have been approved by the Engineer before being used on the project. Approval may be revoked at any time if equipment is not maintained in satisfactory working condition, or if the equipment operation damages the seed. C. Limestone, fertilizer, and seed shall be applied within 24 hours after completion of seedbed preparation unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer, but no limestone or fertilizer shall be distributed and no seed shall be sown when the Engineer determines that weather and soil conditions are unfavorable for such operations. D. Limestone may be applied as a part of the seedbed preparation, provided it is immediately worked into the soil. If not so applied, limestone and fertilizer shall be distributed uniformly over the prepared seedbed at the specified rate of application and then harrowed, raked, or otherwise thoroughly worked or mixed into the seedbed. Seed shall be distributed uniformly over the seedbed at the required rate of application, and immediately harrowed, dragged, raked, or otherwise worked so as to cover the seed with a layer of soil. The depth of covering shall be as directed by the Engineer. If two kinds of seed are to be used which require different depths of covering, they shall be sown separately. E. When a combination seed and fertilizer drill is used, fertilizer may be drilled in with the seed after limestone has been applied and worked into the soil. If two kinds of seed are being used which require different depths of covering, the seed requiring the lighter covering may be sown broadcast or with a special attachment to the drill, or drilled lightly following the initial drilling operation. F. When a hydraulic seeder is used for application of seed and fertilizer, the seed shall not remain in water containing fertilizer for more than 30 minutes prior to application unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. February 2021 3201 00 - 4 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents G. Immediately after seed has been properly covered the seedbed shall be compacted in the manner and degree approved by the Engineer. H. When adverse seeding conditions are encountered due to steepness of slope, height of slope, or soil conditions, the Engineer may direct or permit that modifications be made in the above requirements which pertain to incorporating limestone into the seedbed; covering limestone, seed, and fertilizer; and compaction of the seedbed. Such modifications may include but not be limited to the following: 1. The incorporation of limestone into the seedbed may be omitted on (a) cut slopes steeper than 2:1; (b) on 2:1 cut slopes when a seedbed has been prepared during the excavation of the cut and is still in an acceptable condition; or (c) on areas of slopes where the surface of the area is too rocky to permit the incorporation of the limestone. 2. The rates of application of limestone, fertilizer, and seed on slopes 2:1 or steeper or on rocky surfaces may be reduced or eliminated. 3. Compaction after seeding may be reduced or eliminated on slopes 2:1 or steeper, on rocky surfaces, or on other areas where soil conditions would make compaction undesirable. I. Mulching: 1. All seeded areas shall be mulched unless otherwise indicated in the special provisions or directed by the Engineer. 2. It shall be spread uniformly at a rate of two tons per acre in a continuous blanket over the areas specified. 3. Before mulch is applied on cut or fill slopes which are 3:1 or flatter, and ditch slopes, the Contractor shall remove and dispose of all exposed stones in excess of 3" in diameter and all roots or other debris which will prevent proper contact of the mulch with the soil. Mulch shall be applied within 24 hours after the completion of seeding unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. Care shall be exercised to prevent displacement of soil or seed or other damage to the seeded area during the mulching operation. 4. Mulch shall be uniformly spread by hand or by approved mechanical spreaders or blowers which will provide an acceptable application. An acceptable application will be that which will allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate but also partially shade the ground, reduce erosion, and conserve soil moisture. 5. Mulch shall be held in place by applying a sufficient amount of asphalt or other approved binding material to assure that the mulch is properly held in place. The rate and method of application of binding material shall meet the approval of the Engineer. Where the binding material is not applied directly with the mulch it shall be applied immediately following the mulch application. 6. The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent mulch from entering drainage structures through displacement by wind, water, or other causes and shall promptly remove any blockage to drainage facilities which may occur. February 2021 3201 00 - 5 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents 3.3 MAINTENANCE A. The Contractor shall keep all seeded areas in good condition, reseeding if and when necessary, until an acceptable stand of grass is established over the entire area seeded and shall maintain these areas in an approved condition until final acceptance of the Contract. B. Grassed areas will be accepted when a 95% cover by permanent grasses is obtained and weeds are not dominant. On slopes, the Contractor shall provide against washouts by an approved method. Any washouts which occur shall be regraded and reseeded until a good sod is established. C. Areas of damage or failure due to any cause shall be corrected by being repaired or by being completely redone as may be directed by the Engineer. Areas of damage or failure resulting either from negligence on the part of the Contractor in performing subsequent construction operations or from not taking adequate precautions to control erosion and siltation as required throughout the various sections of the specifications, shall be repaired by the Contractor as directed by the Engineer at no cost to the Owner. TABLE I - APPLICATION RATES A. Lime and Fertilizer: In the absence of a soil test, the following rates of application of limestone and fertilizer shall be: 1. 4,000 pounds limestone per acre 2. 1000 pounds 10-10-10 (N-P205-K20) fertilizer per acre and the remaining quantity applied when vegetation is three inches in height or 45 days after seeding, whichever comes first.

It shall contain not less than 85% of the calcium and magnesium carbonates and shall be of such fineness that at least 90% will pass a No. 10 sieve and at least 50% will pass a No. 100 sieve. February 2021 32 04 00 - 1 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents C. Seed: 1. The quality of seed and all operations in connection with the furnishing of this material shall comply with the requirements of the North Carolina Seed Law and regulations adopted by the North Carolina Board of Agriculture. 2. Seed shall have been approved by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture or any agency approved by the Engineer before being sown, and no seed will be accepted with a date of test more than nine (9) months prior to the date of sowing. Such testing however, will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for furnishing and sowing seed that meets these specifications at the time of sowing. When a low percentage of germination causes the quality of the seed to fall below the minimum pure live seed specified, the Contractor may elect, subject to the approval of the Engineer, to increase the rate of seeding sufficiently to obtain the minimum pure live seed contents specified, provided that such an increase in seeding does not cause the quantity of noxious weed seed per square yard to exceed the quantity that would be allowable at the regular rate of seed. 3. During handling and storing, the seed shall be cared for in such a manner that it will be protected from damage by heat, moisture, rodents, or other causes. 4. Seed shall be entirely free from bulblets or seed of Johnson Grass, Nutgrass, Sandbur, Wild Onion, Wild Garlic, and Bermuda Grass. The specifications for restricted noxious weed seed refers to the number per pound, singly or collectively, of Blessed Thistle, Wild Radish, Canada Thistle, Corncockle, Field Bindweed, Quackgrass, Dodders, Dock, Horsenettle, Bracted Plantain, Buckhorn or Wild Mustard; but in no case shall the number of Blessed Thistle or Wild Radish exceed 27 seeds of each per pound. No tolerance on weed seed will be allowed. D. Mulch: Straw mulch shall be threshed straw of oats, rye or wheat free from matured seed of obnoxious weeds or other species which would grow and be detrimental to the specified grass. E. Tackifier: Emulsified asphalt or organic tackifier such as Reclamare R2400 shall be sprayed uniformly on mulch as it is ejected from blower or immediately thereafter. Tackifier shall be applied evenly over area creating uniform appearance. Rates of application will vary with conditions. Asphalt shall not be used in freezing weather. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 PREPARATION A. Protection of Existing Trees and Vegetation: 1. Protect existing trees and other vegetation indicated to remain in place against unnecessary cutting, breaking or skinning of roots, skinning and bruising of bark, smothering of trees by stockpiling construction materials or excavated materials within drip line, excess foot or vehicular traffic, or parking of vehicles within drip line. Provide temporary guards to protect trees and vegetation to be left standing. 2. Provide protection for roots over 1-1/2" diameter cut during construction operations. Coat cut faces with an emulsified asphalt, or other acceptable coating, formulated for use on damaged plant tissues. Temporarily cover exposed roots with February 2021 32 04 00 - 2 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents wet burlap to prevent roots from drying out and cover with earth as soon as possible. 3. The Contractor shall not remove or damage trees and shrubs which are outside the Clearing Limits established by the Owner or those within the Clearing Limits designated to remain. 4. Repair trees scheduled to remain and damaged by construction operations in a manner acceptable to the Engineer. Repair damaged trees promptly to prevent progressive deterioration caused by damage. 5. Replace trees scheduled to remain and damaged beyond repair by construction operations, as determined by the Engineer with trees of similar size and species. Repair and replacement of trees scheduled to remain and damaged by construction operations or lack of adequate protection during construction operations shall be at the Contractor's expense. B. Grading: 1. Rough grading shall be done as soon as all excavation required in the area has been backfilled. The necessary earthwork shall be accomplished to bring the existing ground to the desired finish elevations as shown on the Contract Drawings or otherwise directed. 2. Fine grading shall consist of shaping the final contours for drainage and removing all large rock, clumps of earth, roots and waste construction materials. It shall also include thorough loosening of the soil to a depth of 6" by plowing, discing, harrowing or other approved methods until the area is acceptable as suitable for subsequent landscaping operations. The work of landscaping shall be performed on a section by section basis immediately upon completion of earthwork. 3. Upon failure or neglect on the part of the Contractor to coordinate his grading with seeding and mulching operations and diligently pursue the control of erosion and siltation, the Engineer may suspend the Contractor's grading operations until such time as the work is coordinated in a manner acceptable to the Engineer. C. Seedbed Preparation: 1. The Contractor shall cut and satisfactorily dispose of weeds or other unacceptable growth on the areas to be seeded. Uneven and rough areas outside of the graded section, such as crop rows, farm contours, ditches and ditch spoil banks, fence line and hedgerow soil accumulations, and other minor irregularities which cannot be obliterated by normal seedbed preparation operations, shall be shaped and smoothed as directed by the Engineer to provide for more effective seeding and for ease of subsequent mowing operations. 2. The soil shall then be scarified or otherwise loosened to a depth of not less than 6" except as otherwise provided below or otherwise directed by the Engineer. Clods shall be broken and the top 2" to 3" of soil shall be worked into an acceptable seedbed by the use of soil pulverizers, drags, or harrows; or by other methods approved by the Engineer. 3. On 2:1 slopes a seedbed preparation will be required that is the same depth as that required on flatter areas, although the degree of smoothness may be reduced from that required on the flatter areas if so permitted by the Engineer. February 2021 32 04 00 - 3 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents 4. On cut slopes that are steeper than 2:1, both the depth of preparation and the degree of smoothness of the seedbed may be reduced as permitted by the Engineer, but in all cases the slope surface shall be scarified, grooved, trenched, or punctured so as to provide pockets, ridges, or trenches in which the seeding materials can lodge. 5. On cut slopes that are either 2:1 or steeper, the Engineer may permit the preparation of a partial or complete seedbed during the grading of the slope. If at the time of seeding and mulching operations such preparation is still in a condition acceptable to the Engineer, additional seedbed preparation may be reduced or eliminated. 6. The preparation of seedbeds shall not be done when the soil is frozen, extremely wet, or when the Engineer determines that it is in an otherwise unfavorable working condition. D. Application Rates: Seed shall be applied by means of a hydro -seeder or other approved methods. The rates of application of seed, fertilizer and limestone shall be as stated below. 1. Lime and Fertilizer: In the absence of a soil test, the following rates of application of limestone and fertilizer shall be: a. 4,000 pounds limestone per acre b. 1000 pounds 10-10-10 (N-P205-K20) fertilizer per acre and the remaining quantity applied when vegetation is three inches in height or 45 days after seeding, whichever comes first. 2. Mulch: Mulch shall be applied at the following rates per acre: a. 3,000-4,000 pounds straw mulch, or b. 1,500-2,000 pounds wood cellulose fiber. c. 35-40 cubic yards of shredded or hammermilled hardwood bark d. 1,200-1,400 pounds of fiberglass roving 3. Seed: The kinds of seed and the rates of application shall be as contained in this table. All rates are in pounds per acre. See Notes 1 and 2. a. Fall and Winter (Normally August 1 to June 1) 80 pounds of Ky-31 tall fescue and 15 pounds of rye grain b. Summer (Normally May 1 to September 1) 100 pounds of Ky-31 tall fescue NOTE: 1. On cut and fill slopes having 2:1 or steeper slopes, add 40 pounds of sericea lespedeza per acre to the planned seeding (hulled in spring and summer unhulled in fall and winter) plus 15 pounds of sudangrass in summer seeding or 25 pounds of rye cereal per acre in fall and winter seeding, if seeded September to February. 2. These seeding rates are prescribed for all sites with less than 50% ground cover and for sites with more than 50% ground cover where complete seeding is necessary to establish effective erosion control vegetative cover. On sites having 50% to 80% ground cover where complete seeding is not necessary to establish vegetative cover, reduce the seeding rate at least one-half the normal rate. February 2021 32 04 00 - 4 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents E. Application: 1. Equipment to be used for the application, covering or compaction of limestone, fertilizer, and seed shall have been approved by the Engineer before being used on the project. Approval may be revoked at any time if equipment is not maintained in satisfactory working condition, or if the equipment operation damages the seed. 2. Limestone, fertilizer, and seed shall be applied within 24 hours after completion of seedbed preparation unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer, but no limestone or fertilizer shall be distributed and no seed shall be sown when the Engineer determines that weather and soil conditions are unfavorable for such operations. 3. Limestone may be applied as a part of the seedbed preparation, provided it is immediately worked into the soil. If not so applied, limestone and fertilizer shall be distributed uniformly over the prepared seedbed at the specific rate of application and then harrowed, raked, or otherwise thoroughly worked or mixed into the seedbed. 4. Seed shall be distributed uniformly over the seedbed at the required rate of application, and immediately harrowed, dragged, raked, or otherwise worked so as to cover the seed with a layer of soil. The depth of covering shall be as directed by the Engineer. If two kinds of seed are to be used which require different depths of covering, they shall be sown separately. 5. When a combination seed and fertilizer drill is used, fertilizer may be drilled in with the seed after limestone has been applied and worked into the soil. If two kinds of seed are being used which require different depths of covering, the seed requiring the lighter covering may be sown broadcast or with a special attachment to the drill, or drilled lightly following the initial drilling operation. 6. When a hydraulic seeder is used for application of seed and fertilizer, the seed shall not remain in water containing fertilizer for more than 30 minutes prior to application unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. 7. Immediately after seed has been properly covered the seedbed shall be compacted in the manner and degree approved by the Engineer. 8. When adverse seeding conditions are encountered due to steepness of slope, height of slope, or soil conditions, the Engineer may direct or permit that modifications be made in the above requirements which pertain to incorporating limestone into the seedbed; covering limestone, seed, and fertilizer; and compaction of the seedbed. 9. Such modifications may include but not be limited to the following: a. The incorporation of limestone into the seedbed may be omitted on i. cut slopes steeper than 2:1; ii. on 2:1 cut slopes when a seedbed has been prepared during the excavation of the cut and is still in an acceptable condition; or iii. on areas of slopes where the surface of the area is too rocky to permit the incorporation of the limestone. b. The rates of application of limestone, fertilizer, and seed on slopes 2:1 or steeper or on rocky surfaces may be reduced or eliminated. C. Compaction after seeding may be reduced or eliminated on slopes 2:1 or steeper, on rocky surfaces, or on other areas where soil conditions would make compaction undesirable. February 2021 32 04 00 - 5 CEC #195-440 Construction Documents F. Mulching: 1. All seeded areas shall be mulched unless otherwise indicated in the special provisions or directed by the Engineer. 2. It shall be spread uniformly at a rate of two tons per acre in a continuous blanket over the areas specified. 3. Before mulch is applied on cut or fill slopes which are 3:1 or flatter, and ditch slopes, the Contractor shall remove and dispose of all exposed stones in excess of 3" in diameter and all roots or other debris which will prevent proper contact of the mulch with the soil. 4. Mulch shall be applied within 24 hours after the completion of the seeding unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. Care shall be exercised to prevent displacement of soil or seed or other damage to the seeded area during the mulching operations. 5. Mulch shall be uniformly spread by hand or by approved mechanical spreaders or blowers which will provide an acceptable application. An acceptable application will be that which will allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate but also partially shade the ground, reduce erosion, and conserve soil moisture. 6. Mulch shall be held in place by applying a sufficient amount of asphalt or other approved binding material to assure that the mulch is properly held in place. The rate and method of application of binding material shall meet the approval of the Engineer. Where the binding material is not applied directly with the mulch it shall be applied immediately following the mulch operation. 7. The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent mulch from entering drainage structures through displacement by wind, water, or other causes and shall promptly remove any blockage to drainage facilities which may occur. G. Maintenance: 1. The Contractor shall keep all seeded areas in good condition, reseeding and mowing if and when necessary as directed by the Engineer, until a good lawn is established over the entire area seeded and shall maintain these areas in an approved condition until final acceptance of the Contract. 2. Grassed areas will be accepted when a 95% cover by permanent grasses is obtained and weeds are not dominant. On slopes, the Contractor shall provide against washouts by an approved method. Any washouts which occur shall be regraded and reseeded until a good sod is established. 3. Areas of damage or failure due to any cause shall be corrected by being repaired or by being completely redone as may be directed by the Engineer. Areas of damage or failure resulting either from negligence on the part of the Contractor in performing subsequent construction operations or from not taking adequate precautions to control erosion and siltation as required throughout the various sections of the specifications, shall be repaired by the Contractor as directed by the Engineer at no cost to the Owner.

Further, our principal recommendations are summarized. Information gleaned from the executive summary should not be utilized in lieu of reading the entire geotechnical report. • The geotechnical exploration program included 14 soil test borings drilled to depths between 22 and 35 feet and 4 hand auger borings drilled to depths between 4 and 7 feet. • The soils encountered at the borings drilled at the "upper ponds" generally consisted of fill soils classified as Lean CLAY (CL) and Fat CLAY (CH) and/or natural soils classified as Clayey SAND (SC), SILT (ML), Silty CLAY (CL-ML), Lean CLAY (CL) and Fat CLAY (CH). The clay and silt were predominately stiff, and the sand was predominately medium dense. • The soils encountered at the borings drilled at "Pond 5" generally consisted of fill or possible fill soils classified as Clayey SAND (SC), Lean CLAY (CL) and Fat CLAY (CH) and/or natural soils classified as Clayey SAND (SC), SILT (ML), Lean CLAY (CL) and Fat CLAY (CH) underlain by partially weathered rock. The clay and silt were predominately firm, and the sand was predominately loose. Based on the results of our field observations and slope stability analyses performed on the existing pond embankments the following conclusions were made. • There were no obvious signs of seepage or distress observed along the downstream slope or at the downstream toe of the pond embankments. • The original embankments along the eastern and southern sides of "Pond 5" contain suitable soils and the slopes are adequate to provide long-term stability. • The "Pond 5" internal berm contains suitable soils and will provide adequate long-term stability in its current condition. • The embankments of the "Upper Ponds" west of the facility contain suitable soils and the slopes are adequate to provide long-term stability. • The recently -placed fill material in the stormwater diversion area north of "Pond 5" is firm and stable, and the risk of excessive long-term settlement of this area is negligible. We estimate these soils have a Soil Erodibility Factor, Kf,,ct, of approximately 0.27. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL September 25, 2017 Page 2 The purpose of this study was to explore the subsurface soil conditions around five wastewater ponds at the facility in order to analyze their integrity and stability in accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. The exploration included the four small "upper ponds" located on the west side of the facility and the larger pond designated as "Pond 5" located on the east side of the facility. For this study, the following areas were considered in our analysis: • The temporary berm recently constructed along the east side of the "Pond 5" to increase freeboard using onsite soils excavated from various locations immediately east of the pond. • The borrow pits created immediately east of the "Pond 5" during construction of the temporary berm. • The original "embankment" along the east and south sides of "Pond 5" • The area between "Pond 5" and the stormwater pond to the north where a stormwater diversion trench was previously excavated and has since been backfilled. • The internal berm separating the upper and lower sections of "Pond 5". • The berms for the four "upper ponds" (aka "west ponds"). The recommendations developed for this report are based on project information supplied by Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. This report contains the results of our subsurface explorations and laboratory testing programs, site characterization, engineering analyses, and conclusions regarding the geotechnical integrity and stability of the evaluated berms and embankments. 1.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES To obtain the necessary geotechnical information required for evaluation of the project, 18 soil test borings were performed at locations selected by ECS and approved by Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. These borings were located at regular intervals in the areas of concern. A laboratory -testing program was also implemented to characterize the physical and engineering properties of the subsurface soils. This report discusses our exploratory and testing procedures, presents our findings and evaluations, and includes the following. • A brief review and description of our field and laboratory test procedures and the results of testing conducted. • A review of surface topographical features and site conditions. • A review of area and site geologic conditions. • A review of subsurface soil stratigraphy with pertinent available physical properties. • Final copies of our soil exploration test boring and hand auger boring logs. • Conclusions regarding the geotechnical integrity and stability of the existing pond embankments. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 1.3 AUTHORIZATION Our services were provided in accordance with our Proposal No. 06:20266-GP 2017, as authorized by Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. on July 10, 2017, Subconsulting Services Agreement between ECS Southeast, LLP and Civil Consultants, Inc., dated January 13, 2017. September 25, 2017 Page 3 , dated June 13, and includes the & Environmental Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION 2.1 PROJECT LOCATION September 25, 2017 Page 4 The site is located at the ARAUCO Wood Product Manufacturing Facility, 985 Corinth Road, in Moncure, Chatham County, North Carolina as indicated on Figure 1 in Appendix A. The facility is bounded to the north, east and south by wooded areas and to the west by Corinth Road and several other industrial developments. 2.2 PAST SITE HISTORY The original construction date for the wastewater ponds is unknown. Based on historical aerial images it appears that the internal berm separating the upper and lower sections of "Pond 5" was added sometime around 2010. We understand that soils excavated along the east side of "Pond 5" were used as fill to build up the eastern berm sometime between 2015 and 2016 to increase freeboard and prevent overflow. Based on the topographic information provided on the survey drawing prepared by Mike Cain Surveying dated 10/6/2015, the top of the original berm along the north and east perimeters of "Pond 5" was approximately 1 to 2 feet higher than the current site grades to the east of the pond prior to construction of the temporary berm. Based on historical aerial images it appears that the stormwater pond north of "Pond 5" was constructed sometime between 2008 and 2009. During our field work, it was noted that the stormwater diversion trench between "Pond 5" and the stormwater pond to the north had recently been filled in. 2.3 CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS We have received and reviewed pond survey drawings prepared by Mike Cain Surveying dated 10/6/2015, 8/11/2016, 11/14/2016, 1/3/2017, and 8/30/2017 for "Pond 5" and the drawing dated 7/10/2014 for the four smaller "upper ponds". We have also received drawing prepared by Mid -South Engineering dated 10/13/2009, which shows the design of the "Pond 5" internal berm and cross-section of the "Pond 5" existing eastern/southern berm. Based on the drawings provided to us, the recently added fill placed along the north and east sides of "Pond 5" to create a temporary berm are approximately 10 feet high relative to the pond bottom and approximately 5 feet high relative to the original downstream embankment. We understand that the berm was placed as temporary measure to address immediate freeboard concerns. It appears that fill soil was placed in the berm in an uncontrolled manner (without being placed in lifts and compacted). During our site work, the temporary berm was covered with a variety of wild vegetation (primarily grasses and weeds). The areas to the east of the temporary embankment downstream toe along the east side of "Pond 5" are generally wooded. During our site work, multiple borrow pits of various sizes were observed along the east side of the east perimeter access road, which is along the top of the original downstream embankment. Standing water was observed in the pits during our exploration. The stormwater pond north of "Pond 5" had relatively little water in it at the time of our exploration, all of it ponded in the west end. The pond is lined with concrete on the bottom and interior side slopes. It appears to be approximately 5 to 8 feet deep. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 September 25, 2017 Page 5 The berms and downstream slopes of the upper ponds (Nos. 1 through 4 on the west side of the plant) consisted of maintained grass areas and the visible portion of the upstream slopes contained a variety of wild vegetation (primarily grasses and weeds). The topographic information provided for the upper ponds indicate that they range from approximately 10 to 15 feet deep. Topographic information was not provided for the top of the berms, the downstream slopes, and areas beyond the toe of the downstream slopes. During our site work, the distance from the top of the berms to downstream toe was visually estimated to range from approximately 5 to 10 feet. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments September 25, 2017 ECS Project No.06:23601 Page 6 3.0 FIELD EXPLORATION The field exploration was planned with the objective of gathering pertinent soil information to assist in the analysis of the wastewater ponds and determination of geotechnical conclusions. The subsurface conditions were explored by drilling 14 soil test borings at the top or downstream toe of the pond berms. An all -terrain vehicle (ATV) -mounted drill rig was utilized to drill the soil test borings. Borings were generally advanced to depths of 22 to 35 feet below the current ground surface. The exploration also included 4 hand auger borings advanced to depths of 4 to 7 feet below the current ground surface in areas inaccessible to the ATV drill rig (central berm in "Pond 5" and area north of "Pond 5" under overhead power lines). Boring locations were identified in the field by ECS personnel using GPS techniques prior to mobilization of our drilling equipment. The approximate as -drilled boring locations are shown on the Boring Location Diagrams in Appendix A. Ground surface elevations noted the logs for borings B-10 through B-14 and HA-1 through HA-4 were interpolated from the topographic site plan provided to us by Mike Cain Surveying dated 11/14/2016. Standard penetration tests (SPTs) were conducted in Borings B-1 through B-14 at regular intervals in general accordance with ASTM D 1586. Small representative samples were obtained during these tests and were used to classify the soils encountered. The standard penetration resistances obtained provide a general indication of soil shear strength and compressibility. Undisturbed Shelby tubes were pushed at selected locations and depths in general accordance with ASTM D 1587. The tubes were sealed at the site and transported to our laboratory for extrusion, examination, logging, and testing. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing was conducted in Borings HA-1 through HA-4 at regular intervals. Small representative samples were obtained from the hand auger cuttings and were used to classify the soils encountered. Bag samples were collected at 3 locations designated as G-1 through G-3 from the surface of the temporary berm along the east side of "Pond 5" and transported to our laboratory for classification testing. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 4.0 LABORATORY TESTING September 25, 2017 Page 7 An experienced geotechnical professional visually classified each soil sample from the test borings on the basis of texture and plasticity in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and ASTM D-2488 (Description and Identification of Soils-Visual/Manual Procedures). After classification, the geotechnical professional grouped the various soil types into the major zones noted on the boring logs in Appendix B. The group symbols for each soil type are indicated in parentheses following the soil descriptions on the boring logs. The stratification lines designating the interfaces between earth materials on the boring logs are approximate; in situ, the transitions may be gradual. The laboratory testing performed by ECS for this project consisted of selected tests performed on samples obtained during our field exploration operations. Classification and index property tests were performed on representative soil samples obtained from the test borings in order to aid in classifying soils according to the Unified Soil Classification System and to quantify and correlate engineering properties. Direct shear and permeability tests were also performed. The laboratory test results are attached in Appendix C. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 5.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS 5.1 REGIONAL/SITE GEOLOGY September 25, 2017 Page 8 The site is located in the Triassic Basin within the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. The Triassic Basin consists of a series of depressions, or troughs, that formed by faulting and subsidence during the Triassic and Jurassic periods. The basins were subsequently filled with sediments from surrounding metaphoric and igneous formations that consolidated into the siltstones, mudstones and occasional sandstones and conglomerates common to the region. The occurrences of igneous intrusions in the sediments have modified the rock type in localized areas. The consolidated sediments of the Triassic basin typically weather over time into residual silts, clays and clayey or silty sands. Although the surficial materials normally retain the structure of the original parent materials, they typically have a much lower density and exhibit strengths and other engineering properties typical of soil. In a mature weathering profile, the near surface soils are generally found to be moderately to highly plastic where more extensive weathering has occurred. With depth the residual soils transition into weathered rock, which transitions with depth into hard, competent rock. According to the 1985 Geologic Map of North Carolina, the site is underlain by the Chatham Group, which consists of conglomerate, sandstone and mudstone. It is important to note that the natural geology within portions of the site has been modified in the past that included the placement of fill materials. The quality of man-made fills can vary significantly, and it is often difficult to assess the engineering properties of existing fills. 5.2 SUBSURFACE CHARACTERIZATION The subsurface conditions encountered were generally consistent with published geological information and our experience with local soils, rock, and groundwater. The following sections provide generalized characterizations of the soil and rock strata encountered during our subsurface exploration. For subsurface information at a specific location, refer to the Boring Logs in Appendix B. A surficial layer of organic -laden soil, approximately 1 to 3 inches in thickness, was encountered at Borings B-1 through B-8 and B-11. Approximately 6 inches of gravel was encountered at the surface of Borings B-9 and B-14. Existing fill or possible fill consisting of Clayey SAND (SC), Lean CLAY (CL) and Fat CLAY (CH) was encountered below the surficial material and extended to approximate depths of 4 to 8.5 feet below existing grades at borings B-1, B-3, B-4, B-6, B-7, B-8, B-14 and HA-1 through HA-4. The SPT N-values within the fill soils ranged from 5 to 18 bpf. Inclusions consisting of rock fragments, gravel and asphalt were observed in the recovered fill soils. It is important to note that some of the N-values obtained in these samples were possibly influenced by these inclusions and are not an accurate indicator of their density or consistency. Hand auger borings HA-1, HA-3 and HA-4 were terminated within the fill soils at a depth of 7 feet. It is likely that the fill extends below the explored depth at these locations. Auger refusal was encountered at Boring HA-2 at a depth of approximately 4 feet due to what appeared to be rock fragments. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments September 25, 2017 ECS Project No.06:23601 Page 9 The natural soils encountered below the surficial material, below the existing fill or possible fill, or at the surface of the borings generally consisted of Clayey SAND (SC), SILT (ML), Lean CLAY (CL), Silty CLAY (CL-ML) and Fat CLAY (CH). The SPT N-values within these soils ranged from 4 to 58 bpf, indicating fine-grained soils with a consistency varying between soft to hard, and granular soils with a relative density varying between loose and very dense. Partially Weathered Rock (PWR), which is classified as material with SPT blow counts greater than 50 blows per 6 inches of penetration, was encountered at Borings B-2, B-7 and B-9 through B-14 at depths ranging from approximately 6 to 29 feet below existing grades. Auger refusal was encountered at depths ranging from 22 to 27 feet below existing grades in Borings B-2, B-11 and B-14. Auger refusal indicates the presence of material such as rock with sufficient hardness to permit no further advancement of the drilling. 5.3 GROUNDWATER OBSERVATIONS Water levels were measured in our borings as noted on the soil boring logs in Appendix B. Groundwater depths measured at the time of drilling ranged from 5 to 25 feet below ground surface. Groundwater seepage was not observed during our exploration at Borings B-5, B-14 and HA-1 through HA-4 to the depths explored. Variations in the long-term water table may occur as a result of changes in precipitation, evaporation, surface water runoff, construction activities, and other factors. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 6.0 CONCLUSIONS 6.1 "POND 5" (LARGE POND EAST OF THE FACILITY) 6.1.1 Eastern and Southern Embankment September 25, 2017 Page 10 During our field work, there were no obvious signs of seepage or distress observed in the existing temporary berm along the eastern and southern sides of the pond. However, we understand that the berm was constructed as a temporary measure to increase freeboard and prevent overflow until a permanent solution could be designed. It is also our understanding that the fill used to construct the temporary berm was not placed in controlled lifts nor compacted to any quality specification, as we have not been provided documentation indicating otherwise. "Pond 5" Temporary Eastern Berm, July 2017 Based on the aerial photographs from Google Earth, it appears that the eastern and southern temporary berm was under construction in April 2016 and was completed by October 2016. It appears that the berm was constructed by "windrowing" and shaping dumped soils obtained from the nearby borrow excavations. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 September 25, 2017 Page 11 "Pond 5" Original Eastern Berm with Borrow Pit at Toe, July 2017 Based on the cross-section drawing prepared by Mid -South Engineering dated 10/13/2009, the original top of the berm elevation is 172.0 feet with one foot of freeboard. On 8/30/17, the water level in Pond 5 was measured at elevation 168.76 feet, or 3.24 feet below the top of the original berm along the eastern and southern sides of the pond. We understand that long-term operational plans include maintaining the pond no higher than elevation 171.0 feet. We performed a slope stability analysis of the existing "Pond 5" temporary berm, original berm (under the dirt/gravel road), and borrow pit cross section. Using material properties estimated from the borings and laboratory test results, we estimate a factor of safety of 2.0 for the slope, indicating that the slope is stable. A factor of safety of 1.5 is considered to be the minimum adequate factor of safety for long term conditions. The slope stability analysis sheet for this case is attached in Appendix D. In our opinion, the original "Pond 5" Eastern and Southern Berm contains suitable soils and provides adequate long-term stability for water up to elevation 172.0 feet. The temporary berm does not negatively impact the long-term stability of the original embankment. 6.1.2 Internal Berm The fill soils observed in the borings performed along the internal berm separating the upper and lower sections of "Pond 5" were classified as Clayey SAND (SC), Lean CLAY (CL) Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 September 25, 2017 Page 12 and Fat CLAY (CH) and appeared to be relatively consistent with respect to depth. The DCP testing indicated consistent results between boring locations and with depth, with the exception of some slight fluctuations observed at Boring HA-3 which were potentially caused by rock fragment inclusions observed in the fill. The soil types observed are consistent with the low permeability soils we would typically recommend for construction of pond embankments and the results of the field testing indicate that the berm was likely constructed in a controlled manner. Aerial photographs from Google Earth show the internal berm under construction in July 2010. It appears that it was constructed by draining "Pond 5" and placing fill material from the bottom of the pond up to the top of the internal berm. The survey drawing dated 8/11/16 indicates the internal berm to be approximately 10 feet high with sideslopes of 1.5H:1V to 3H:1V. "Pond 5" Internal Berm, October 2016 "Pond 5" Internal Berm, July 2010 Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 September 25, 2017 Page 13 On 7/17/2017 we observed the water level approximately 2 to 3 feet below the top of the internal berm. "Pond 5" Internal Berm, July 2017 We performed a slope stability analysis of the existing "Pond 5" internal berm. Using material properties estimated from the borings and laboratory test results, we estimate factors of safety of 2.3 to 2.4 for the internal berm slopes. A factor of safety of 1.5 is considered to be the minimum adequate factor of safety for long term conditions. The slope stability analysis sheets for this case are attached in Appendix D. In our opinion, the existing "Pond 5" internal berm contains suitable soils and provides adequate long-term stability. 6.1.3 Stormwater Diversion We understand that a ditch had been excavated to divert stormwater away from the north end of "Pond 5", flowing from west to east. The stability of this ditch and adjacent "Pond 5" northern slope area was a concern earlier this year. However, as of July 17, 2017, the stormwater diversion ditch in this area had been backfilled. Based on Hand Auger Boring HA-4, the ditch was backfilled with sandy clay (CL, CH) with gravel. The DCP values indicate the clays at HA-4 were generally firm to stiff. Based on this data, we conclude that the fill material is firm and stable, and the risk of excessive long-term settlement of this area is negligible. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments ECS Project No.06:23601 Stormwater Diversion Area North of "Pond 5", July 2017 September 25, 2017 Page 14 The soils encountered in Hand Auger Boring HA-4 classify as a Sandy Clay Loam per the United States Department of Agriculture soil classification system. We estimate these soils have a Soil Erodibility Factor, Kf,,ct, of approximately 0.27. This parameter can be used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation or the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation to estimate the average annual rate of soil erosion. 6.2 "UPPER PONDS" (SMALL PONDS WEST OF THE FACILITY, PONDS 1-4) Topographic information for the crest, downstream slope and downstream toe was not available at the time our exploration was performed. Accordingly, the height of the embankments from the crest to the downstream toe was visually estimated during our field exploration. The embankment heights were estimated to range from approximately 5 to 10 feet increasing gradually from southernmost pond to the northernmost pond. The crest and downstream slope of the embankments appeared to be well vegetated with regularly maintained grass. During our field work there were no obvious signs of seepage or distress observed along the downstream slope or at the downstream toe of the pond embankments. Existing ARAUCO Pond Embankments September 25, 2017 ECS Project No.06:23601 Page 15 "Upper Ponds" West Embankment, July 2017 The fill soils encountered at Borings B-1, B-3, B-4, B-6, B-7 and B-8 drilled along the top of the existing pond embankments were classified as Lean CLAY (CL) and Fat CLAY (CH) which are consistent with the low permeability soils types recommended for construction of pond embankments. We performed a slope stability analysis of the existing embankment. Using material properties estimated from the borings and laboratory test results, we estimate a factor of safety of 2.1 for the berm, indicating that the slope is stable. A factor of safety of 1.5 is considered to be the minimum adequate factor of safety for long term conditions. The slope stability analysis sheet for this case is attached in Appendix D.

'N-value"is another term for `blow count" and is expressed in blows per foot (bpf). 6The water levels are those levels actually measured in the borehole at the times indicated by the symbol. The measurements are relatively reliable when augering, without adding fluids, in granular soils. In clay and cohesive silts, the determination of water levels may require several days for the water level to stabilize. In such cases, additional methods of measurement are generally employed.

STABILIZED CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES SHOULD BE USED AT ALL POINTS WHERE TRAFFIC WILL EGRESS/INGRESS A CONSTRUCTION SITE ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD OR ANY IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, SUCH AS PARKING LOTS. 2. INSTALL A NON -WOVEN GEOTEXTILE FABRIC PRIOR TO PLACING ANY STONE. 3. INSTALL A CULVERT PIPE ACROSS THE ENTRANCE WHEN NEEDED TO PROVIDE POSITIVE DRAINAGE. 4. THE ENTRANCE SHALL CONSIST OF 2-INCH TO 3-INCH D50 STONE PLACED AT A MINIMUM DEPTH OF 6-INCHES. 5. MINIMUM DIMENSIONS OF THE ENTRANCE SHALL BE 12-FEET WIDE BY 50-FEET LONG, AND MAY BE MODIFIED AS NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE SITE CONSTRAINTS. 6. THE EDGES OF THE ENTRANCE SHALL BE TAPERED OUT TOWARDS THE ROAD TO PREVENT TRACKING AT THE EDGE OF THE ENTRANCE. 7. DIVERT ALL SURFACE RUNOFF AND DRAINAGE FROM THE STONE PAD TO A SEDIMENT TRAP OR BASIN OR OTHER SEDIMENT TRAPPING STRUCTURE. 8. LIMESTONE MAY NOT BE USED FOR THE STONE PAD. 9. REFERENCE NCDEQ EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLANNING AND DESIGN MANUAL, SECTION 6.06. 1. THE KEY TO FUNCTIONAL CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES IS WEEKLY INSPECTIONS, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND REGULAR SEDIMENT REMOVAL. 2. REGULAR INSPECTIONS OF CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONCE EVERY CALENDAR WEEK AND, AS RECOMMENDED, WITHIN 24-HOURS AFTER EACH RAINFALL EVEN THAT PRODUCES 1/2-INCH OR MORE OF PRECIPITATION. 3. DURING REGULAR INSPECTIONS, CHECK FOR MUD AND SEDIMENT BUILDUP AND PAD INTEGRITY. INSPECTION FREQUENCIES MAY NEED TO BE MORE FREQUENT DURING LONG PERIODS OF WET WEATHER. 4. RESHAPE THE STONE PAD AS NECESSARY FOR DRAINAGE AND RUNOFF CONTROL. 5. WASH OR REPLACE STONES AS NEEDED AND AS DIRECTED BY SITE INSPECTOR. THE STONE IN THE ENTRANCE SHOULD BE WASHED OR REPLACED WHENEVER THE ENTRANCE FAILS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MUD BEING CARRIED OFF -SITE BY VEHICLES. FREQUENT WASHING WILL EXTEND THE USEFUL LIFE OF STONE PAD. 6. IMMEDIATELY REMOVE MUD AND SEDIMENT TRACKED OR WASHED ONTO ADJACENT IMPERVIOUS SURFACES BY BRUSHING OR SWEEPING. FLUSHING SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN THE WATER CAN BE DISCHARGED TO A SEDIMENT TRAP OR BASIN. 7. DURING MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES, ANY BROKEN PAVEMENT SHOULD BE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. 8. CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES SHOULD BE REMOVED AFTER THE SITE HAS REACHED FINAL STABILIZATION. PERMANENT VEGETATION SHOULD REPLACE AREAS FROM WHICH CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES HAVE BEEN REMOVED, UNLESS AREA WILL BE CONVERTED TO AN IMPERVIOUS SURFACE TO SERVE POST -CONSTRUCTION.
