Dear Mr. Powell:
The Division received your letter dated February 19, 2016,notifying us of the delay in funding for the
permanent excess wood chip storage facility construction. This delay means the structure cannot be
completed by December 2016 as outlined in our letter to you late last year.
Given that outdoor storage will persist indefinitely, the company should apply for an NPDES stormwater
discharge permit (and rescind the No Exposure Certification). Because of the nature of the exposed
storage and activity in this drainage area,the DEMLR Stormwater Permitting Program is recommending
that your facility apply for coverage under General Permit NCG210000(Lumber and Wood Products),
rather than under NCG060000, which captures pharmaceutical-related activities(SIC 283-). A Notice of
Intent (NOI) application is enclosed.
As the wood chip area is the only exposed industrial activity at this site,we also recommend that you
apply for Representative Outfall Status(ROS)for the associated outfall. The ROS application form is
enclosed as well. We realize the form is designed to document information about outfall similarities.
Please use question 4. on the form to explain why this outfall is appropriate for ROS(i.e., it is the only
one exposed to industrial activities at the site and characteristic of activities under the General Permit).
Until a Certificate of Coverage(COC)is issued, DEMLR asks you to continue quarterly monitoring for
COD and TSS at the discharge draining from the chip storage area, as stipulated in our December 21,
2015, letter. Please submit the results on the DMR form to the Central Office as we advised(may be
included with your NOI application for the NCG21 General Permit). Note that monitoring requirements
will change upon issuance of the COC. Please refer to the General Permit to understand future
monitoring obligations and conditions.

Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
In follow up to our February 18, 2016 telephone conversation, Wyeth, LLC,(Wyeth) is informing the
Department of Environmental Quality; Division of Ener4_ . Mineral and Land Resources, (DEQ-DEMLR)
of a delay in the capital funding of a project to construct a permanent storage facility for wood chip
quantities that exceed our Biomass Boiler Storage Silo.
Wyeth understands that the Division has requested that we complete a Stormwater General Permit
application with respect to the Industrial Activity(occasional storage of excess Wood Chip outside).
Wyeth requests guidance and concurrence from DEQ-DEMLR with respect to the possibility of a
Stormwater"General Permit" with a single outfall that is associated with the Industrial Activity of the
occasional storage of excess wood chip, and consideration be given to the fact that the remaining
stormwater pathways and outfalls remain unchanged from previously certified No Exposure Industrial
Activity status_
We look forward to hearing back from you soon and are available to discuss the application further at your
convenience.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at(919)566-4018.

Dear Mr. Powell:
The Division received your letter dated September 16, 2015, following up on our site visit and discussion
with you at Wyeth,LLC's Sanford Plant on July 22, 2015. The purpose of that visit was to discuss the
plant's need to temporarily store wood chips for the Biomass Boiler outside when quantities exceed the
Storage Silo capacity, and the implications for the plant's current No Exposure Certification. We
understand the company is moving forward with a capital engineering project to construct a permanent
storage building to eliminate stormwater exposure of the excess chips when needed.
For the interim period,the company is seeking concurrence from DEMLR on maintaining No Exposure
status for this plant site while implementing good housekeeping and other best management measures to
minimize exposure and runoff from chips stored outside until permanent shelter construction is
completed. The shelter would bring the site back into compliance with its No Exposure Certification.
DEMLR Staff agree that this storage situation constitutes exposure and does not satisfy No Exposure
Certification conditions, which triggers the requirement for an NPDES stormwater discharge permit.
However, if Wyeth, LLC elects to maintain the NCGNE during this period and works towards regaining
full compliance with No Exposure conditions, DEMLR will consider favorably its progress toward
achieving compliance as long as the company:
• Confirms to us continuing progress toward completing the capital project,and the current
completion date for the shelter is no later than December 2016; and
• Begins sampling discharges draining from the temporary chip storage area on a quarterly basis
in accordance with the analytical monitoring suite in General Permit NCG210000 (Lumber and
Wood Products, i.e., Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)).

Subject: FW: Pfizer No Exposure?
Bethany,
Bradley raised the question to me of whether the stormwater monitoring suite in NCG21 would also be appropriate,
rather than my initial suggestion of NCG24 less feca Is. Comparing the two:
NCG 24 Compost: quarterly for TSS, COD,TN, TP, Cu, Pb,Zn, pH.
NCG21 Timber: twice/yr for TSS, COD.
• Given that we anticipate a short duration (-1 year) exposure, then I think the NCG21 suite is ok, i.e. with the
reduced parameter selection in NCG21, but maybe at the increased frequency of NCG24 (quarterly).
• Intuitively, with the relatively small area of exposure of the chips pile and the relatively inconsistent presence of
the pile, I doubt that there will be significant mass of Cu, Pb, Zn,TN, TP contributed to the receiving water. I
think it's OK to drop them from the suite.
• Arguably, the stockpiling of boiler fuel chips is closer to the normal site conditions targeted under NCG21 rather
than NCG24 .
All this assumes we are willing to enter into a sort of trade off of allowing them to continue under NCGNE, in exchange
for a minimal check on the character of the discharge while they work toward regaining no exposure status.

1
I'm available to discuss M after 2:30, T except 1:00—2:00, W except 11:00-- 1:00, H, and F. Also next week M &T.
For your consideration in advance, here's my December summary, updated today from Jul_
1. Still today Pfizer fails the test for No Exposure based on the chip boiler operating practice constituting exposure,
and potentially on the basis of construction site exposure.
2. IIRC, years ago they previously had qualified for NCGNE, but changes to the operation of the boiler changed site
conditions, and so jeopardize the No Exposure exclusion.
3. But, as with most permittees in violation of NPDES permits or rules, we would want them to work to come into
compliance. Pfizer is doing that now: wrt wood chips they have developed the printed Job Aid since our visit;
and they continue to work toward a capital project for a shelter. (The only defect!saw in the lob Aid was that
the employee was not specifically informed that certain steps of the Job Aid were intended to control
storm water pollution. They didn't tell the employee why.) Continuing, and wrt on-site construction, I'm not
sure the construction areas meet the 1 acre threshold. Do you recall? If not, no problem? Even if so, consider
that their construction projects are presumably moving toward completed projects, i.e. moving toward no
exposure.
4. At the time of our visit, we did not observe indications of an egregious impact on water quality: we didn't
analyze samples, or look in the creek, etc., but the intuitive evaluation of what we saw was not worrisome. I
was more interested in the trail of sediment from the construction site to the storm drain inlet than I was with
the stained parking lot down gradient from the chips piles.
5. Proposed approach: Tell Pfizer that they fail the test for NCGNE, but that the NCGNE can remain the vehicle for
their compliance with NPDES rules if:
a. They confirm to us the continuing progress toward the capital project, and the current completion date
is Dec. 2016 or earlier.
b. They confirm to us the continuing progress of the construction activities on site and report a completion
date for them on or before Dec. 2016 (?).
c. They begin taking quarterly samples in January in accordance with the monitoring suite in NCG24, less_
fecals. We (SPP)will review the results real time, and advise if we see any reason to change the
approach outlined here. This extra sampling is intended to provide a basis to rebut any contention that
the site is causing harm because it's under NCGNE inappropriately, and should instead be under an
individual stormwater permit with analytical monitoring, benchmarks, and potentially monthly
sampling.
d. As we considered before, this approach allows us to conserve our very valuable time in order to put our
time toward more impactful activities.

Ken/Rick,
We received this response from Pfizer back in September, and l have not yet responded to it. There has just been too
much on SPP's plate. We owe them a response, and it would be helpful to me to sit down with one or both of you and
discuss so I am confident on what direction we should be headed on this. We were undecided at the time, and this
follow-up from you back in July was leaning away from approval, but we are now half a year beyond that(and
presumably closer to when they'll build permanent shelter).

Subject: Pfizer No Exposure?
Bethany,
For your use as you deem appropriate, here are my notes and analysis on Pfizer. Please correct my observations or
conclusions where I'm off the mark.
The beginning standard is found at 40 CFR 122.26(g):
(g) Conditional exclusion for"no exposure"of industrial activities and materials to storm water. Discharges composed
entirely of storm water are not storm water discharges associated with industrial activity if there is "no exposure" of
industrial materials and activities to rain, snow, snowmelt and/or runoff, and the discharger satisfies the conditions in
paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this section. "No exposure" means that all industrial materials and activities are
protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff. Industrial materials or
activities include, but are not limited to, material handling equipment or activities, industrial machinery, raw materials,
intermediate products, by-products, final products, or waste products. Material handling activities include the storage,
loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste
product.
Pfizer fails this test. Specifically, all industrial activities and materials are not protected by a storm resistant
shelter to prevent exposure to rainfall. Bark chips for fuel are sporadically exposed to rainfall, i.e. they are not
protected by a storm resistant shelter. The duration of the exposure is on the order of 3—4 days maximum
recurring monthly during approximately 6— 8 months per year(?), and the maximum amount of material exposed
at any one time is typically four to six(?) dump truck loads.
3
Federal rule qualifiers and exceptions to the beginning standard test in 40 CFR 122.26
• Tightly sealed containers not leaking and not operational do not require a storm resistant shelter, and would not
disqualify from No Exposure. Not relevant at Pfizer.
• Adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling. Not relevant at Pfizer.
• Final products not mobilized by stormwater. Not relevant at Pfizer.
Federal rule clarifications/limitations/explanations of exposure and no exposure
• Industrial material and activities that must be protected/sheltered include: material handling activities, raw
materials, loading and unloading of any raw material. Would seem to apply at Pfizer.
• Stormwater discharges from construction activity are not eligible for the No Exposure exclusion from
permitting. Combined with the specific rules provision that No Exposure is available only on a facility wide
basis this presents us with an interesting consideration at Pfizer.
• The original certification (and presumably North Carolina's special annual recertification) must indicate that
there will be no exposure of"(B) Materials or residuals on the ground...(E) Materials or products during
loading/unloading...(F) Materials or products stored outdoors...(H) Materials or products handled/stored on
roads..." If circumstances change such that the business can no longer certify to no exposure, the discharge
becomes subject to enforcement for unpermitted discharge, and the discharger should apply for and obtain
permit authorization. So for Pfizer's in a tough situation with the federal rule definition and clarifying
descriptions o}"no exposure':
Federal and other guidance, as I understand it material from our SP_P Guidance folder and from EPA's June
2000 No Exposure guidance manual)
• Temporary laydown areas for construction and maintenance activities may be allowed under some (?)
circumstances.
• We have allowed the granite slab folks to store rock slabs outside unprotected and still grant No Exposure.
• Our experience is that tarps are only suitable for very small areas (e.g., 8'x8'), and that it is not realistic to think
that tarps can be deployed reliably for large areas or piles.
• It's all a matter of degree of exposure, ultimately. This question tests us as to how large an exposure is ok to still
be considered No Exposure.
• We can allow the exposure of products intended to see outdoor service (like automobiles), and still grant No
Exposure.
• Pfizer has a fairly clean site with two exceptions
o On-going construction: sediment travelling to stormwater inlets(even though protected somewhat by
hay bales); contractor lay down yards with scrap and presumably demolition dumpsters (pretty well
disconnected from discrete drainage ways) -- UAJL& 0 > t ?tAre, c ✓Ld
o Chips exposed sporadically(but as a deliberate, recurring feature of the boiler operation.) Clear
evidence of pollutant transport off site (staining across the parking lot entering a vegetated ditch.) The
flow enters either Buffalo Creek, or the Lee Brick ponds. Perhaps unlikely that there is a significant
impact from either of the discharges from the chips area at Pfizer. But, certainly uncertain as to
whether years of discharges of wood bits and wood powder might be exerting a measureable COD in the
receiving water, or resulting in a deposit of organic material. In retrospect, it might have been helpful for
us to cross the fence line and eyeball the ditch and clay pits. Although, we may not have been able to
discern much that would be relevant.
Ameliorating site circumstances
• Apart from the two conditions noted immediately above the site is otherwise relatively clean.
• There is a possibility that the existing discharges have no measureable impact on the receiving water due to
travel distance and/or retention time vs small absolute mass of pollutants potentially mobilized by runoff.
• Although recurring, the exposure of chips is relatively infrequent and of short duration, occurring only when the
chip silo is at capacity.
Hay bales for(some) solids capture are available, and reportedly Pfizer deploys them when excess chips are
dumped.
4
• Pfizer reportedly sweeps the dump area immediately after the pile of chips has been fully depleted.
• Pfizer demonstrated commitment to a capital project to remove the exposure of wood chips, potentially
complete in 4Q 2016.
• The relatively short exposed storage duration suggests limited degradation in place, and consequently limited
transport and discharge of wood chip degradation pollutants.
Regulatory and administrative considerations
• Pfizer has an NCGNE now. It seems excessively bureaucratic to transition Pfizer into a NPDES stormwater permit
based on the chips exposure, and then back out again to NCGNE once the demolition and reconstruction is
completed (this year?) and the capital project for a storm resistant shelter is completed (4Q 2016).
• Given the demands on our time, it seems to be responsible to preferentially allocate our time for other issues
and actions that may more effectively protect surface waters from the impacts of runoff pollution. The Pfizer
site appears to be small potatoes from the perspective of impact on Buffalo Creek. It conserves our time to
allow the continuation of NCGNE, rather than require short duration coverage under an NCG or NCS.
• We have asked Pfizer to provide written arguments in support of the request for a favorable agency
determination and the continuation of No Exposure, despite the agreement that there are recurring
exposures. It may be that arguments they present will further help us decide what to do at Pfizer.
• On the other hand, it is legitimate to consider that we do not want to set a precedent that weakens our
requirements for granting or continuing the No Exposure Exclusion from Permitting. No Exposure is a valuable
regulatory tool for protecting surface waters.
• One potential resolutionRath: We receive and evaluate Pfizer's written arguments. Assuming the arguments
are solid, propose that Pfizer may continue under NCGNE until December 2016 (?)for the several reasons
stated, but that Pfizer must take quarterly samples analyzed for the constituents contained in the NCG24
Composting General Permit, less fecal coiiform. No other features of the NCG24 General Permit
pertains. Sampling to continue quarterly for 2 quarters after the completion of the storm resistant shelter or
December 2016, whichever is later. At the end of this time Pfizer shall re-certify to SPP the condition of No
Exposure. SPP or RRO may or may not conduct a confirming inspection.
SPP or RRO to receive the quarterly results, and to respond to them as they may indicate. Meaning, if there are
no hits,then the NCGNE can remain in effect. If there are hits above the NCG24 benchmarks, RRO or SPP to
evaluate the significance of them and direct Pfizer to: apply for a NCS or NCG permit in the case of egregious
exceedances; propose increased housekeeping measures for exceedances judged less worrisome by SPP or RRO;
or other response actions that Pfizer and SPP might agree to.
o Our summary explanation to Pfizer is: Strictly speaking, you fail the test for no exposure. However,
DEMLR has determined that the otherwise good site housekeeping, the reasonable exercise of our
authority to protect water quality, and our responsibility to make the best use of our limited staff
resources, will allow us to continue Pfizer under the NCGNE if Pfizer will provide quarterly performance
monitoring to establish that no uncontemplated egregious impacts are occurring. SPP/RRO will review
the quarterly reports in real time to assure that any significant exceedances are addressed together with
Pfizer.

Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
As a follow up to your recent visit to our facility and per your request, we are forwarding you a"Job-Aid"
that we have developed around receipt and intermittent storage of wood chip on the pavement area behind
our Central Utility Building(CUB), Biomass!Boiler operations area. As we mentioned during your visit,
we have implemented procedures and practices to improve the management the wood chip storage pile
during rain events. Specifically we have implemented Best Management Practices(BMP's)to achieve
good housekeeping measures and to minimize runoff. We have developed a Job-Aid(Attached)that will
be used by the CUB personnel that we feel will ensure we have minimized runoff during rain events. In the
Job Aid we cover procedures for our management practices if we have to store chip on the ground beyond 7
days due to an unplanned shutdown. In addition, we have developed a drawing showing our woodchip
storage area and size along with the flow path for rainwater runoff.
Wyeth, LLC, is in the process of moving forward with a capital engineering project to construct a
permanent storage building to provide cover and protection from stormwater exposure. For the interim
period, we are requesting your concurrence on these measures to allow us to maintain our Stormwater No
Exposure Certification status.
If you should have any questions,please contact me at(919) 566-4018.

Subject: BMP's for Wyeth, LLC
Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
As a follow up to our telephone conversation and email on May 6, 2015, this letter
describes the Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP's) that we are implementing
at our facility. As we discussed Wyeth, LLC, a subsidiary of Pfizer, operates a 29.4
million Btu per hour Biomass Boiler that uses wet-wood chip as its fuel source. Wood
chip deliveries occur Monday—Friday and are loaded into our Wood Chip storage silo
located behind the Central Utilities Building next to our Biomass Boiler. Our supplier
sources our wood chip from local logging operations. These operations that can
sometimes be affected by weather conditions that prevent them from delivering
consistently to meet our boiler operating needs. As a result we need to periodically store
wood chip in piles on the paved area adjacent to the Storage Silo. The wood chip pile is
typically moved into our storage silo within 4-6 days of receiving the load.
Wyeth, LLC maintains a Stormwater "No Exposure" Certification. We are in the process
of moving forward with a capital engineering project to construct a permanent storage
building to provide cover and protection from stormwater exposure. The project is in the
scoping stage, and a project timeline has not yet been established. We estimate 2°d or 3rd
quarter of 2016 for completion. In the meantime, the following BMP's are being
implement in order to minimize stormwater runoff potential:
1). Good Housekeeping Measures: Our Central Utilities personnel will utilize manual
and equipment assisted mobile sweepers daily to minimize any stray wood chip and
wood chip fines. Wood Chip and fines will be swept up, removed, and placed into the
reclaimer for loading into the storage silo. We will document cleaning activities in our
daily field log book used by Central Utilities personnel.
2). Management of Runoff: We will install silt fencing and hay bales to filter and
control sediment from leaving the storage area during rain events. Any sediment
captured will be disposed of and the area will be inspected daily to ensure the integrity of
the silt fencing and hay bales.
3). Minimize Exposure: We will manage our wood chip delivery volume by working
with our supplier to best determine optimal weekly shipment volumes, considering
weather and operating conditions with the goal of minimizing the amount of loads that
will need to be stored on the paved area near the storage silo.
We are completing our annual stormwater no exposure certification and ask for your
guidance and concurrence of our temporary BM P's to minimize our stormwater exposure
until a permanent covered structure can be put into place at our facility.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at (919) 566-4018.

Hi Chuck,
As I mentioned earlier this week, we received your letter and request for guidance and concurrence on temporary BMPs
to minimize stormwater exposure until a permanent covered structure can be put into place at your facility. We'd like
to arrange a site visit with 2-3 members of our Central Office in July, possibly accompanied by some staff members from
the Raleigh Regional Office. The visit will allow us to give you the best guidance on the company's request regarding No
Exposure. CO staff will include Ken Pickle, me, and possibly Rick Riddle, another Engineer in our group.
The weeks of July 61h or July 201"are best for me to join this visit. Can we set up a time in the morning (maybe around
10 AM?)on one day of those weeks?
I'm heading out of the office for vacation for most of the next two weeks, but I'll be back on Monday,June 291h. While
I'm out, feel free to coordinate a time with Ken Pickle—I'll check in as I'm able via e-mail and will try to confirm a
potential date.
Thank you,
Bethany

Hi John,
This facility in Sanford is covered under No Exposure Certfication No. NCGNE0232. Chuck Powell from Wyeth (subsidiary
of Pfizer)called us last month while working through the No Exposure Self-Certification Self-Recertification form. He
called us because, as his letter explains, they receive wood chips for their biomass boiler and sometimes have to
stockpile a volume larger than their silo—which is then moved into the silo within 4-6 days of receiving the load. After
speaking with him about it,we concluded that this is exposure and that the company would need to implement a
permanent solution (shelter cover for example) to maintain No Exposure conditions, or apply for a stormwater permit.
They are moving forward to build a permanent shelter. Because of the planning and capital investment involved, it
won't happen right away. Wyeth would rather do what they need to do without having to apply for a general permit
(NCG06 applies here, and did for a time before they obtained an NCGNE) for a very short period, and then turn around
to rescind it. I advised the company to write us a letter with their proposed solution so we could further guide them on
what to do.
Raleigh Central Office intends to arrange a site visit because this is an unusual circumstance, and we'd like to check our
understanding of the situation as described against ground conditions. It's an educational and program application
opportunity for us—particularly because we run into all sorts of"gray areas" when it comes to No Exposure, and we
make every attempt to solve challenging circumstances in a practical but appropriate way. We are sensitive to the
demands on your time right now without a primary Stormwater Permitting Program staff member. However, once we
set the date,we will let you know in case RRO staff would like to participate.
The visit probably won't happen until July at the earliest; I'm away from the office for the next two weeks. If you have
any questions or concerns about it in the meantime, please let Ken Pickle know in my absence.
Thanks,
Bethany

Subject: RE: Stormwater No Exposure Certification
Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your question regarding storage of wood chips for the biomass boiler at your site and your No Exposure
annual self re-certification.
I've discussed your situation with my colleagues, and we agree that what you described (an exposed area with excess
wood chips outside maybe 3-4 days until moved into the storage silo, on a somewhat periodic basis) is not considered
No Exposure. If this scenario happened rarely, say once every six months or so, and not typically in wet weather(if
management practices could reduce that likelihood somehow), we might view it differently. I think we have to
acknowledge here that this is an exposure condition. If the company wants to continue to operate under the No
Exposure exclusion, it should implement a solution to cover the wood chips.
We don't always know what peculiar circumstances No Exposure applications will present to us—we've met our
share. Occasionally we encounter circumstances that challenge how we implement the federal rule requirements. So,
in the application and re-certification forms, we've left that "room to wiggle" in a general way—not necessarily because
we know of a specific case where a sawdust or wood chip storage pile has been outside and still allowed an NCGNE
exclusion. There might have been these instances, but I personally can't recall them. I can think of a time where a small
area in a different industry was kept debris-free most of the time, but was occupied at times by material for a compost
vessel. During those periods, the material was covered by a tarp. This is not the strictest interpretation of No Exposure,
but we allowed an NCGNE approval based on the specific case, the limited size of the area, BMPs at the site, and other
observations of the regional inspector and/or central office staff. These kinds of calls are very case-by-case.
I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Dear Mr. Kaylos:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No-Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on May 3, 2005. Based on your submittal and signed
certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the Division is granting your certification as
provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g), which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations.
Please note that by our acceptance of your 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 stormwater
discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. Your
conditional no-exposure exclusion expires in five years (July 31, 2010). At that time you must re-certify with
the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your certification of no exposure 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 Sarah Young at (919) 733-5083, ext.

FORM �' NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION for Exclusion from
351 D-11
NPDES Storm Water Permitting
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity identified in Section A does not require permit authorization for its storm water
discharges associated with industrial activity in the State identified in Section B under EPA's Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit due to the existence
of a condition of no exposure.
A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent
exposure to rain, snow,snowmelt,and/or runoff. Industrial materials or activities include,but are not limited to,material handling equipment or activities,
industrial machinery,raw materials,intermediate products,by-products,final products,or waste products. Material handling activities include the storage,
loading and unloading,transportation,or conveyance of any raw material,intermediate product,final product or waste product. A storm resistant shelter is
not required for the following industrial materials and activities:
— drums, barrels,tanks,and similar containers that are tightly sealed,provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak. "Sealed"
means banded or otherwise secured and without operational taps or valves;
— adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling;and
— final products,other than products that would be mobilized in storm water discharges(e.g.,rock salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure exclusion. In addition,the exclusion from NPDES permitting is
available on a facility-wide basis only,not for individual outfalls. If any industrial activities or materials are or will be exposed to precipitation,the facility is
not eligible for the no exposure exclusion.
By signing and submitting this No Exposure Certification form,the entity in Section A is certifying that a condition of no exposure exists at its facility or site,
and is obligated to comply with the terms and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g),
ALL INFORMATION MUST BE PROVIDED ON THIS FORM.
Detailed instructions for completing this form and obtaining the no exposure exclusion are provided on pages 3 and 4.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
To maintain compliance with the 1999 EPA regulations, the NPDES Form 3510-11 (NO
EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION) has been completed and enclosed with this letter.
Please note that operations have indeed ceased at the previously permitted facility at
4305 Oak Park (Wyeth-Ayerst Lab #NCG060253). That facility has been demolished
and removed from site, so this no exposure request applies for the entire property
(226 +/- acre parcel of USCS, Colon, NC Quadrangle).
Thank-you for adding this update to our Category 11 permit exemption file. Please
contact me if there are questions regarding this record, or if there is any additional
information required.
Sincerely,
I Kenneth Taft

Dear Ms. Young,
This writer, of the RRO Surface Water Protection Section, conducted an inspection, on
June 28, 2005, of the Wyeth Vaccines Facility for evaluation of the request for
No-Exposure Certification. Mr. Kenneth Taft (Environmental Manager) and Sean
Rasmussen represented this vaccine production facility during the inspection. The
grounds exterior to material storage, production and mechanical facilities were
evaluated. (On-going construction activities, regulated by the Land Quality Section,
were not included in this inspection. ) Findings during the inspection are as
follows:
There was no evidence of spills, overflows or similar incidents.
Ail chemical and fuel storage tanks have secondary containment. There was no
evidence of leakage from exterior chemical and fuel piping.
Hazardous wastes are stored in buildings with sub-base secondary containment.
Cafeteria waste fags and oils are stored in a double containment tank until picked
up.
8-c facility refuse dumpsters are all in good rating lids.
it is the opinion of this writer that the requested No-Exposure Stormwater
Certification should be granted to Wyeth Vaccines.
Please call (571-4700 ext. 273) if there are questions. J
Thank you,
