Roanoke County, Virginia
In accordance with your change of ownership request received November 9, 2009, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0018347, dated January 8, 2010, to Lebanon Seaboard Corporation
for the continued operation of the subject animal residuals distribution program. The owner name has

Please note that on August 5, 2009, Session Law 2009-406, entitled "An Act to Extend Certain
Government Approvals Affecting the Development of Real Property Within the State," was enacted by
the General Assembly and signed into law. The Act, known as the Permit Extension Act of 2009, extends
the expiration date of certain government approvals and permits. Non -discharge permit WQ0018347
issued by the Division of Water Quality falls within the scope of this Act and is therefore being extended
until September 3.0, 2013. Please note per your permit, a renewal application must be submitted six
months in advance of the extended expiration date.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2013, shall void
Permit No. WQ0018347 issued October 12, 2005, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will
result in future compliance problems.
This permit approves the continued operation of the subject program for the distribution of a
composted fertilizer/soil amendment product, containing poultry animal residuals, that meets exceptional
quality standards and is marketed under the product names Dry Roots (3-3-3), Endo Roots (3-3-4), M-
Roots (3-3-3), and 1-Step (2-2-2) throughout the state of North Carolina (i.e., in bulk and bags). Note that
this permit does not concurrently provide a license to distribute a fertilizer, as is required by the Fertilizer
Section of the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Plant Industry Division. More

I111. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The animal residuals distribution program shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times as
a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
program.
2. In the event that the animal residuals distribution program is not operated satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions due to improper operation and maintenance, the Permittee shall
immediately cease distribution of residuals to the sites impacted. In addition, the Permittee shall
contact the Aquifer Protection Section of the appropriate Division regional office, and take any

sold or given away in a bag or other container for application to the land.
b. A statement that application of the residuals to the land is prohibited except in accordance with

deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be established, and
an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. An analysis shall be conducted on the animal residuals product generated for distribution at the

Permittee may submit a request to the Division for a permit modification to reduce the frequency of
this monitoring requirement. In no case, however, shall the frequency of this monitoring be less than
