and no expansion of the dikes is allowed
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A and C for
they may differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.

SURFACE DISPOSAL OF RESIDUALS PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
DAK Americas LLC
Brunswick County
FOR THE
continued operation of a residuals management program for DAK Americas LLC and consisting of the
surface disposal of residuals generated by the approved facility listed in Attachment A to the approved site
listed in Attachment B, with no discharge of wastes to surface waters, pursuant to the application received
August 19, 2020, and in conformity with other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environmental Quality and considered a part of this permit. The disposal of residuals is
regulated under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 257. This permit does not exempt the Pemuttee
from complying with Federal Regulation 40 CFR Part 257.
The disposal site, a 12-acre pond known as the surface disposal unit (SDU) includes an underdrain system
that feeds into a sump that overflows to a gauge -monitored overflow pond that has its flow pumped back
for inclusion into the system. The SDU was covered and ceased receiving residuals on August 10, 2015.
This permit shall be effective from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2027, shall void Permit No.
WQ0018087 issued February 22, 2016, and shall be subject to the following conditions and limitations:
