As discussed during that call, the Lumberton Cellulose LLC Mill has completed a thorough review and update of its existing SPPP. This has resulted in the revision of several documents that were submitted as part of the permit renewal application that was mailed to your office on March 3, 2015. As such, we are providing the following revised documents to amend our previously submitted permit renewal application and to promptly submit such newly identified information in accordance with Part III.E.11 of our current NPDES permit: A new Site Map from the updated SPPP (attached as Figure B-2). We are adding two new outfalls identified as outfalls No. 9 and No. 10, to our storm water sampling/monitoring plan. As a result of adding these new outfalls, we have updated the drainage area descriptions in Table 1 of our updated SPPP accordingly. In addition, we have also revised our sampling locations for outfalls Nos. 2 and 4. Current conditions around these discharge points have rendered them inaccessible during wet periods due to sedimentation, vegetation growth and submerged discharge conditions. As a result, our updated SPPP shows that we will sample these locations at the closest catch basins upstream of these outfalls. This sampling strategy will also be applied to the new outfall identified as No. 9. 2. A new Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Development and Implementation Certification.

As discussed during that call, the Lumberton Cellulose LLC Mill has completed a thorough review and update of its existing SPPP. This has resulted in the revision of several documents that were submitted as part of the permit renewal application that was mailed to your office on March 3, 2015. As such, we are providing the following revised documents to amend our previously submitted permit renewal application and to promptly submit such newly identified information in accordance with Part III.E.11 of our current NPDES permit: A new Site Map from the updated SPPP (attached as Figure B-2). We are adding two new outfalls identified as outfalls No. 9 and No. 10, to our storm water sampling/monitoring plan. As a result of adding these new outfalls, we have updated the drainage area descriptions in Table 1 of our updated SPPP accordingly. In addition, we have also revised our sampling locations for outfalls Nos. 2 and 4. Current conditions around these discharge points have rendered them inaccessible during wet periods due to sedimentation, vegetation growth and submerged discharge conditions. As a result, our updated SPPP shows that we will sample these locations at the closest catch basins upstream of these outfalls. This sampling strategy will also be applied to the new outfall identified as No. 9. 2. A new Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Development and Implementation Certification. Also, on April 24, 2014, the Mill reported total suspended solids (TSS) benchmark exceedances for Outfalls No. 6 and No. 7 and subsequently notified your regional office about the implementation of several structural improvements to the stormwater management system, which included: • The installation of curbing around the storm drains associated with Outfalls 6 and 7, and • The installation and maintenance of filters in the storm drains associated with Outfalls 6 and 7. Since that time, we concluded that these two structural changes did not provide a significant benefit and did not warrant the associated maintenance burdens. The Mill discontinued the use of these two structural changes early in 2015 and TSS results have remained well below the benchmark values. The other stormwater management system improvements previously reported will be maintained such as the installation of a retainer wall to prevent sediment from washing down from an upslope area and to promote the growth of grass in that area. Thank you for your support in this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 910-737-3231 or Grant Oxendine, our EHS Manager, at 910-737-3283.
