Arauco North America, Inc. is submitting this letter to the Division of Water Resources to request several modifications to the facility's Non -Discharge permit (WQ0003396). The facility connected to a municipal wastewater pipeline with the City of Sanford and began operating under Industrial User Permit (IUP 000042) on November 6, 2020 as a primary means of wastewater treatment and effluent removal. Prior to connection and pipeline commissioning, the site has operated under Non -Discharge Permit WQ0003396, which has conditions allowing for the disposal of treated process and domestic wastewater effluent from the site through non -discharge spray irrigation fields. For many years this was the primary means of wastewater treatment and disposal for the facility. Arauco North America, Inc. has determined, with concurrence from members of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, to maintain the site Non -Discharge permit (WQ0003396), despite cease of spray irrigation field use as a means of treated effluent application. However, the site would like to request the attached permit amendments (outlined in a cover letter on the application) to reduce administrative burden, remediate groundwater quality, and bearing in mind the operational changes to wastewater disposal by use of Industrial User Permit 000042. At this time, paper copies are no longer required. If you have any questions about what is required, please contact Nathaniel Thornburg at nathaniel.thornburg@ncdenr.gov.

The facility connected to a municipal wastewater pipeline with the City of Sanford and began operating under Industrial User Permit (IUP 000042) on November 6, 2020 as a primary means of wastewater treatment and effluent removal. Prior to connection and pipeline commissioning, the site has operated under Non -Discharge Permit WQ0003396, which has conditions allowing for the disposal of treated process and domestic wastewater effluent from the site through non -discharge spray irrigation fields. For many years this was the primary means of wastewater treatment and disposal for the facility. Arauco North America, Inc. has determined, with concurrence from members of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, to maintain the site Non -Discharge permit (WQ0003396), despite cease of spray irrigation field use as a means of treated effluent application. However, the site would like to request the following permit amendments to reduce administrative burden and bearing in mind the operational changes to wastewater disposal by use of Industrial User Permit 000042: 1. Section III, Condition 4 [15A NCAC 02T .0507(b)]: Arauco North America, Inc. requests clarification that Loblolly pine trees (Pinus toeda), or a similar species of woody tree vegetation, might satisfy the requirement of "maintaining vegetative coverage" within the spray irrigation fields taking into consideration the complete cease of irrigation use as a means of treated effluent discharge as of November 6, 2020. Since the fields will no longer be used for process water effluent irrigation (all wastewater going through a pipeline for municipal treatment) the site intends to plant trees to improve and remediate soil quality, groundwater quality, and hydrologic filtration in the fields. Appropriate pruning, harvesting, and other accepted practices for forest maintenance will be used to maintain these trees. 2. Section III, Condition 7 [15A NCAC 02T .0507(d)]: Removal or amendment of annual requirements for irrigation equipment testing and calibration so long as the site has not discharged any industrial effluent through any irrigation means or treat any spray fields onsite with process discharge. The proposed planted trees would receive water and nutrient from purely natural sources. 3. Section III, Condition 17 [15A NCAC 02T .0507(d)]: Removal or amendment of annual requirements for metering equipment testing and calibration so long as the site has not discharged any industrial effluent through any irrigation means or treat any spray fields onsite with process discharge. The proposed planted trees would receive water and nutrient from purely natural sources. 4. All requirements related to groundwater sampling, annual soil fertility analysis, and those standards related to monitoring wells will remain unchanged. Attached you will find the appropriate NCDWR form, WWIS 06-16, for a minor permit modification. No fee is required by NCDWR for a minor permit modification. If you have any questions, please contact Savannah Carroll, Environmental Manager, at (919-545-5848) or (843-544-3025).
