Subject: Permit No. WQ0000461
Louisiana-Pacific (LP)
Corporation — Roaring River
Distribution and Land Application
of Class A (Industrial Wastewater
Treatment) Residuals
Wilkes County
In accordance with your permit major modification request received August 30, 2011 and
subsequent additional information received December 1, 2011, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQ0000461, dated December 21, 2011, to Louisiana-Pacific Corporation for the continued operation of
the subject residuals management program. This permit is modified to extend the deadline of
demonstration for compliance with pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements from
September 1, 2011 to October 31, 2015, and to update permit language to be consistent with
Administrative Code requirements. Also, LP Corporation requested a reduction of the TCLP monitoring
frequency from annually to once per permit cycle. The Division has reviewed the TCLP analyses
submitted by the Permittee during the past five years and found no significant concentration of any
monitored TCLP parameters. This modified permit reflects the change of the TCLP monitoring frequency
in Attachment A of this permit.
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. In addition, Session Law 2010-177
extended the Act by another year. Permit No. WQ0000461 falls within the scope of this Act and is
therefore being extended until October 31, 2015. A renewal application must still be submitted six
months in advance of the extended expiration date.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 31, 2015, shall void Permit
No, WQ0000461 issued November 22, 2006; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. 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

I2. If land application sites are to be over -seeded or double -cropped (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer
and rye grass in the winter with both crops to receive residuals), then the second crop can receive an
application of PAN at a rate not to exceed 50 pounds per acre per year (lbs/ac/yr). This practice may
be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested or grazed. If the second crop is to be planted
for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no additional PAN shall be applied.
13. The Permittee shall not land apply or distribute Class A residuals that have a sodium adsorption ratio
(SAR) of 10 or higher without prior written Division approval. The Permittee may seek approval by
demonstrating that the entity accepting the residuals is: aware of the effects of a high SAR content;
has agreed on proper residual application rates; and has agreed to operational considerations to ensure
that the high SAR content will not adversely impact the receiving sites. Recommendations regarding
sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or a mechanism for maintaining site
integrity and conditions conducive to crop growth, can be obtained from the local Cooperative
Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource
Conservation Service, a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, or an agronomist.
14. The compliance boundary for residual land application sites shall be specified in accordance with
15A NCAC 02L .0107(b). These sites were individually permitted on or after December 30, 1983;
therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from the residual land application
area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residual land application
area. An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to
remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C-
15. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0108, the review boundary shall be established midway between
the compliance boundary and the residual land application area. Any exceedance of groundwater
standards at the review boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
M. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The residuals management program shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent any
contravention of surface water or groundwater standards.
2. The Permittee shall maintain an approved Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan) pursuant to
15A NCAC 02T .1110. Modifications to the O&M Plan shall be approved by the Division prior to
utilization of the new plan. The O&M Plan, at the minimum, shall include:
a) Operational functions;
b) Maintenance schedules;
c) Safety measures;
d) Spill response plan;
e) Inspection plan including the following information:
i. Titles of personnel responsible for conducting the inspections;
ii. Frequency and location of inspections, including those to be conducted by the ORC, and

responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified operators as back-up ORCs in accordance with
15A NCAC 08G .0201. The ORC or their back-up shall visit the facilities in accordance with 15A
NCAC 08G. 0204, or as specified in the most recently approved O&M plan (i.e., see Condition III.

a 24-hour period following a residuals land application event;
f. During a measurable precipitation event (i.e., greater than 0.01 inch per hour), or within 24 hours
following a rainfall event of 0.5 inches or greater in a 24-hour period;
g. If the slope is greater than 10% for surface applied liquid residuals, or if the slope is greater than
