Subject: Permit No. WQ0018087
Cape Fear Manufacturing Facility
Surface Disposal of Class B
Residuals (Dedicated)
Brunswick County
In accordance with your permit adjudication request received December 8, 2015 for the now voided
permit issued November 10, 2015, and based upon subsequent discussions between the Permittee and the
Division of Water Resources, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0018087 dated February 22,
2016, to DAK Americas, LLC for the continued operation of the subject residuals management program.
Upon closure of the surface disposal unit (SDU) in accordance with the Department -approved Surface
Disposal Unit Closure Plan for the Cape Fear Facility of DAK Americas LLC, dated January 16, 2015, the
Permittee may submit a permit modification request to reduce the groundwater monitoring frequency, or
request a permit rescission.
Modifications to the subject permit are as follows: Four new monitor wells (MW -2B, MW -2C,
MW -21) & MW -2E) will be installed and will be monitored annually along with two existing wells (MW -
2 & MW -03A) for a list of groundwater monitoring parameters which has been expanded to include
Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury and Selenium.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until January 31, 2021, shall void Permit
No. W00018087 issued June 4, 2009, 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 collecting
and maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems. Please
note that the capacity of the surface disposal unit is 194,000 cubic yards, that approximately 170,000
cubic yards have been utilized, and that the unit is no longer accepting residuals, and no expansion of
the dikes is allowed

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 Class B residuals generated at the DAK Americas' Cape Fear Site to the approved
surface disposal unit with no discharge of wastes to surface waters, pursuant to the permit adjudication
request received December 8, 2015, 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 use and
disposal of residuals are regulated under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 257. This permit does
not exempt the Permittee from complying with the federal regulations.
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. This facility includes a drainage
ditch adjacent to the southwestern corner of the 12 -acre 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 the date of issuance until January 31, 2021, shall void Permit No.
W00018087 issued June 4, 2009 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. SCHEDULES
The Division shall be notified in writing when the Surface Disposal Unit (SDU) capping activities, and
decommissioning of the SDU's associated systems (underdrain system, sump, overflow pond, drainage
ditch, and appurtenances) conclude. The closure and post -closure care program for the SDU will be in
accordance with the Surface Disposal Unit Closure Plan (Closure Plan) and implementation schedule
submitted by DAK Americas LLC on January 16, 2015 and approved by the Division on letter dated
February 16, 2015, along with documents subsequently submitted to the Division. [15A NCAC 02T

betaken to ensure that the problem does not recur. [15A NCAC 02T .0105(1), 02T .0108(b)(1)]
V. INSPECTIONS
1. The Permittee shall provide adequate inspection and maintenance to ensure proper operation of the
subject facilities and shall be in accordance with the approved O&M Plan. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]
2. Prior to each bulk residuals surface disposal event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport and application facilities to prevent malfunctions, facility deterioration and
operator errors resulting in discharges, which may cause the release of wastes to the environment, a
threat to human health or a public nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an inspection log that
includes, at a minimum, the date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance,
repairs, or corrective actions taken. The Permittee shall maintain this inspection log for a period of five
years from the date of inspection, and this log shall be made available to the Division upon request.
[15A NCAC 02T.0 I 08(b)]
3. Any duly authorized Division representative may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect
any property, premises or place on or related to the land application sites or facilities permitted herein
at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy
any records required to be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may collect
groundwater, surface water or leachate samples. [G.S. 143-215.3(a)(2)]
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Failure to comply with the conditions and limitations contained herein may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.6A to
143-215.6C. [G.S. 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C]
2. This permit shall become voidable if the residuals land application events are not carried out in
accordance with the conditions of this permit. [15A NCAC 02T .0110]
3. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals described in the permit
application and other supporting documentation. [G. S. 143-215.1]
WQ0018087 Version 2.0 Shell Version 151201 Page 8 of 9

4. The issuance of this permit does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by other jurisdictional government agencies
(e.g., local, state, and federal). Of particular concern to the Division are applicable river buffer rules in
15A NCAC 02B .0200; erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and
under the Division's General Permit NCG010000; any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A
NCAC 0213 .0200 and 02H.0500; and documentation of compliance with Article 21 Part 6 of Chapter
143 of the General Statutes. [15A NCAC 02T .0105(c)(6)]
5. In the event the residuals program changes ownership or the Permittee changes his name, a formal
permit modification request shall be submitted to the Division. This request shall be made on official
Division forms, and shall include appropriate documentation from the parties involved and other
supporting documentation as necessary. The Permittee of record shall remain fully responsible for
maintaining and operating the residuals program permitted herein until a permit is issued to the new
owner. [15A NCAC 02T .0104]
6. This permit is subject to revocation or unilateral modification upon 60 days notice from the Division
Director, in whole or part for the requirements listed in 15A NCAC 02T.01 10. [15A NCAC 02T .0110]
7. Unless the Division Director grants a variance, expansion of the permitted residuals program contained
herein shall not be granted if the Permittee exemplifies any of the criteria in 15A NCAC 02T .0120(b).
[ 15A NCAC 02T.0 120]
8. The Permittee shall pay the annual fee within 30 days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay
the annual fee accordingly shall be cause for the Division to revoke this permit. [15A NCAC 02T
.0105(e)(3)]
