Dear Mr. Miller:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Storrnwater
Permitting form and made a site visit to assess the potential for storrnwater pollution. Based on our observations and
your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the Division is granting your
conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g), which is incorporated by reference in
North Carolina regulations.
Please note that by our acceptance ofyour no -exposure certification, you are obligated to maintain no -exposure
conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for a no -exposure
exclusion, you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your storrnwater discharge.
Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge (subject to civil penalties of
up to $25,000 per day). Your conditional no -exposure exclusion does not expire. However, you must self re-
certify annually using the enclosed form, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any storrnwater discharges frorn
your facility. Please store the completed re -certification forms in order to have them available during future
inspections by DWQ.
Your conditional exclusion from permitting does not affect your facility's legal requirements to obtain environmental
permits that may be required under other federal, state, or local regulations or ordinances.
if you have any questions or need further information, please contact Dave Parnell at 19) 79 ] -4200 or at

Comment: A tour of the facility indicated all production and container storage was
under shelter. All wastewater is treated and goes to the Durham County Sewer.

entering the stormwater pond. No dust particles are released through vents into the
environment. The certification is verified and approved.
