The facility is to review and update this plan annually. 12. Stormwater records were reviewed and found to be satisfactory. Both stormwater outfalls were observed during the inspection. 13. The facility uses sawdust as a filter in outfall 004 basin. When the basin is dry the facility cleans the basin and uses the sawdust as a fuel for the dryers. 14. Qualitative and analytical monitoring is being preformed as required by permit. The overall conditions of Uniboard USA LLC WWTP and stormwater programs are compliant with Division standards.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality March 23, 2007 Mr. Steve Lerch General Manager ATC Panels 985 Corinth Road Moncure, NC 27559 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection ATC Panels NPDES Permit Number NCO040711 Stormwater Permit Number NCS000151 Chatham County Dear Mr. Lerch: On March 22, 2007, Ms. Stephanie Brixey of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of ATC Panels' wastewater treatment system and of the stormwater program with the assistance of Ms. Carolyn Underwood, Environmental Manager of the facility. Her help was appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process. The following observations were made: 1. The current treatment system consists of: a boiler and cooler tower blow down, a baffle pit, an aerated pit, pump, flow meter and discharge pipe. The boiler has been out of operation since May 2005 and is going to be replaced. The boiler was used for the Medium Density Fiberboard Plant. 2. ATC Panels has a spray irrigation permit for the domestic wastewater. The accumulated sludge is pumped and hauled to the City of Sanford. The only process water discharging to the Haw River is from the boiler and cooling tower blow down. 3. The facility keeps two flow meters that are each calibrated annually and used during alternating years. Once one flow meter is removed to be shipped for the calibration it is replaced with the other. 4. Kathy Broadwell is the ORC of the system and Carolyn Underwood is the backup. Recently Randall Jarrell was added as a backup. 5. Biocide is used on the site but with prior approval from the Division of Water Quality. Approval letters are on the site. 6. ATC Panels has a laboratory certification to analyze pH, temperature and settleable solids. All other parameters are sent to Carolina Environmental for analyses.

Stormwater records were reviewed and found to be satisfactory. The plan is in the process of being updated because of the facility's name change. Please remember that all employees are to be trained at a minimum annually and documentation should be on file. All stormwater outfalls were observed and no problems were noted,.,. 9. Ms. Underwood gave me a copy of the stormwater permit renewal application that had been sent to DWQ in November 2004. The permit has not been reissued but I will look into this.

This permit expires on May 31, 2005. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. In order to assure your continued coverage under your permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find an individual permit renewal application form, supplemental information request, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan certification. Filing the application form along with the requested supplemental information will constitute your application for renewal of your permit. As stated above, the application form must be completed and returned along with all requested information by November 19, 2004 in order for the permit to be renewed by May 31, 2005. Failure to request renewal by November 19, 2004 may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Bill Mills of the Stormwater and General Permits Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 548.

Please note however, there was no discharge to any on site pond (included in the spray irrigation permit), nor any discharge off site through the Stormwater system. The spill resulted from our vacuum truck taking process water out of the process ditch (that normally goes to wastewater pond no. 5) and taking it to the pad to mix with boiler fuel. We had a second vacuum truck on site working in the press pit that day and moving material to the pad as well. The amount of material was not mixed quickly enough. The water ran into a culvert that is connected to the concrete ditch that discharges to pond no. 5 (or after first flush during a rain event, the valve is turned and clean Stormwater can be allowed to go off site). The problem was immediately recognized and captured just after its entrance into the ditch. Fiber was used to soak it up and take it back to the pad for mixing. As noted previously, no discharge to any on site ponds or off site occurred as a result of this incident. Employees on this site are well trained to respond to any spill incident. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence or need any additional information, please contact me at (919) 642-0208.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality On May 29, 2008, Ms. Stephanie Brixey of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of ATC Panels' wastewater treatment system and of the stormwater program. The assistance of Ms. Carolyn Underwood, Environmental Manager, and Mr. Billy Hughes was appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process. The following observations were made: 1. The treatment system consists of. a boiler and cooling tower blow down, a baffle pit, an aerated pit, pump, flow meter and discharge pipe. The discharge is into the Haw River, classified WS-1V waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. 2. The boiler has been out of operation since May 2005 and is used for the Medium Density Fiberboard Plant. Ms. Underwood stated that the MDF Plant has been removed and. there are plans to rebuild this section of the facility in the future. 3. ATC Panels has a spray irrigation permit for the domestic wastewater. The accumulated sludge is pumped by Mac's Septic and hauled to the City of Sanford or the Town of Siler City. The only water currently discharging to the Haw River is from the cooling tower blow down. 4. Kathy Broadwell is the ORC of the system. Carolyn Underwood and Randall Jarrell is the backup ORCs. 5.

You conducted an inspection of our facility on March 22, 2007. Prior to your inspection, you were not aware that we had made a request for permit renewal and a name change for our facility. I was able to provide a copy of the renewal package and the request to change the name from SierraPine, Ltd., to Aconcagua Timber Corp but could not locate the name change request that was made for ATC Panels, Inc., an affiliate of Aconcagua Timber Corp. I have since located this file and am attaching a copy of the name change form. I am providing 2 copies in case you have need of this. Please contact me if you need any additional information related to this or the site. Thank you for your time on the day of your inspection. You may contact me at 919-545-5897 or email at Carolyn.Underwood@atcpanels.com. Thank you in advance for your assistance regarding this request. Sincerely, U&Mz"L Carolyn derwood Environmental Manager Cc: Stormwater Environmental Files ATC
