on NO EXPOSURE: a '4na�Off ce
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your'facility does not:require a
permit for stormwater discharges associated with,industrial activity in the State of North Carolina because
it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion. A condition of no exposure at an,industrial facility means all
industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter(with some exceptions)to-
prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt,-and/or runoff.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DWO must approve your application for No
Exposure Certification before this exclusion is effective. Until you are issued a No
Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must.continue.
to abide by the terms and conditions of the current permit.
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
ban ded.or otherwise secured and with locked or non-operational taps or valves;adequately maintained
vehicles-used in material handling;and final products, other than products.that°.would be mobilized'in
stormwater discharges(e.g., rock salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure exclusion.. In.
addition, the,excluslon from NPDES permitting is available-on a facility-wide basis only—not.for individual
outtalls. 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,you,
certify that a condition of'no exposure exists at this facility or site and are obligated to comply with the.
terms and conditions of•40 CFR 122.26(g).
You are re aired to self re-certify our No Exposure Exclusion Annual) .

@��n n� .�1300 Langenthal Dr. vRural Hall,North Carolina DCPEES Project No. 1142-001 APR T 4 2012- WATEH cauA Iands 14 St W wete:Branch
Dear Ms. Jones:
On behalf of Lantal Textiles located at 1300 Langenthal Dr., Rural Hill, North Carolina, CP
Engineering and Environmental Solutions (CPEES) is pleased to submit NCGNE0000 request to
the State for a NPDES Stormwater General No Exposure for the subject facility operations. The
facility conducts their operation under the SIC code 2299 (Textiles Goods). Therefore, the
applicable NPDES Stormwater General Permit for this SIC code is NCG 170000. However,
Lantal Textiles is very diligent in controlling the exposure of facility oil/chemical storages and
loading/unloading operations to stormwater. Thus, Lantal Textiles had requested CPEES to
review the facility operations and assess the NPDES Stor nwater General Permit Exemption
criteria and No Exposure certification.
SITE REVIEW
On March 14, 2012, CPEES had conducted a site review for the facility operations exposed to
stormwater. During the facility review, the following areas were reviewed for the stormwater
exposure:
• Oil and Chemical storage areas/tanks out side the plant building;
• Materials storage outside the plant operations;
• Loading and unloading at the docks;
• Roof discharges;
• Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented at the site;
• General site erosion and sediment transport; and
• General leaks from the building.
FINDINGS
Based on the site review, CPEES believes Lantal Textiles had implemented several controls
(BMPs) to mitigate the exposure of oillchemical storage areas, transfer practices and general
operations from stormwater. Some of our observations include:
0 All empty chemical drums are kept inside a roofed shed with a secondary containment;

i, Chalam Pakala Engineering and Environmental Solutions
10017 Allyson Park Dr.,Charlotte,NC 2,9277 Tel (704) w41-4042, Fat:[phone]
• Minimal amounts of liquids in 5 gal pails are received at the site and they are being
handled either manually or with hand trolleys for keeping them inside the plant building.
No fork-lifts are being used at the site for oils/chemicals transport;
• The facility changed the boiler operations from oil to natural gas and therefore, the
aboveground oil storage tank is no longer being used at the facility. CPEES was
informed that very small/minimal amount of oil was left in the tank and would
eventually be removed from the site. In addition, the above ground storage tank is
secondary contained with a locked valve in a closed position at all times;
• No underground storage tanks were observed at the site;
• Two trash dumpsters, containing general trash and threads from the operations, had lids
and were controlled from the exposure to stormwater;
• No to minimal soil erosion was observed at the facility, and
• The overall facility yard appeared to be well maintained with no materials exposed to
stormwater.
NO EXPOSURE APPLICATION
CPEES has completed the State NCGNE0000 "No Exposure" application package to meet the
State requirements. The package includes the application, a Ste Location Map (Figure 1)and an
Aerial View Map.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our site review and findings, CPEES believes that the subject facility should be
exempted from the NPDES Stormwater General Permit at the present time.
However, should the facility decides to change the operations in the future and could potentially
impact the stormwater, then the facility should apply for the NPDES Stormwater Permit at that
time to meet the NC DENR Division of Water Quality Requirements.
CLOSING
It is my pleasure to complete this important project for Lantal Textiles and please call me at 704-
541-4042 should you have any questions on this permit exemption request.
Respectfully submitted,

• All empty chemical drums are kept inside a roofed shed with a secondary containment;
• Minimal amounts of liquids in 5 gal pails are received at the site and they are being
handled either manually or with hand trolleys for keeping them inside the plant building.
No fork-lifts are being used at the site for oils/chemicals transport;
• The facility changed the boiler operations from oil to natural gas and therefore,the
aboveground oil storage tank is no longer being used at the facility. CPEES was
informed that very small/minimal amount of oil was left in the tank and would
eventually be removed from the site. In addition, the above ground storage tank is
secondary contained with a locked valve in a closed position at all times;
• No underground storage tanks were observed at the site;
• Two trash dumpsters, containing general trash and threads from the operations, had lids
and were controlled from the exposure to stormwater;
• No to minimal soil erosion was observed at the facility, and
• The overall facility yard appeared to be well maintained with no materials exposed to
stormwater.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our site review and findings, CPEES believes that the subject facility should be
exempted from the NPDES Stormwater General Permit at the present time.
However, should the facility decides to change the operations in the future and could potentially
impact the stormwater, then the facility should apply for the NPDES Stor nwater Permit at that
time to meet the NC DEN Division of Water Quality Requirements.
CLOSING
It is my pleasure to complete this important project for Lantal Textiles and please call me at 704-
541-4042 should you have any questions on this permit exemption request.
Respectfully submitted,
