Dear Chris Serrati:
The Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources(DEMLR)has reviewed your submittal of the No
Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater Permitting form,received on July 25,
2023. The Division is unable to concur with your certification of no exposure.
Based on an inspection of your facility on August 11, 2023,Raleigh Regional Office staff found multiple
poly totes with petroleum-type fluids housed uncovered without secondary containment.Additionally, a
concrete secondary containment area was found with a buildup of contaminated stormwater with a visible
sheen. The Division cannot grant your requested exemption from permit coverage when industrial
activities or materials are exposed or have the potential to be exposed. Please apply for coverage under an
NPDES Individual Permit within 90 days of the date of this letter. Information can be found at
deg.nc.gov/SW-industrial.
If you have any questions about Individual Permit or need further information,please
contact Brianna Young at(919) 707-3647 or email at Brianna.YoungPdeq.nc.gov
Sincerely,
Mike Lawyer,Stormwater Program Supervisor
