National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stdrmwator Permit based on NO EXPOSURE: J 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, DEMLR 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 Until you are issued a No Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue to abide by the terms and conditions of the current permit.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 banded 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 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, 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). If approved, your conditional No Exposure Exclusion has no expiration date BUT MUST BE self re -certified at least annually. Please look for information about re -certification under the No Exposure section on this page: https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-mineral-land-permits/stormwater- For questions, please contact the DEMLR Regional Office for your area.

This location, known as Plant #3 produces printed paper bags for quick - serve restaurant customers. One point that should be mentioned regarding this site is that this property is a Formerly Used Defense Site (FURS). Specifically, this area known as CBP (Commerce Business Park) was part of the Charlotte Naval Ammunition Depot (CNAD), which manufactured and stored munitions during World War H through the Korean Conflict. A chlorinated solvent release associated with an off-site vapor degreaser resulted in impacting the groundwater beneath adjacent properties to the Genpak 1201 Westinghouse location. Thus, to Genpak's knowledge, there is no source of contamination on its property. Nearby groundwater contains concentrations of TCE and other chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in excess of North Carolina Drinking Water Quality Standards. With respect to the area in question, the Army Corps of Engineers has installed sampling wells and injection wells, located in the southern and southwestern -most portion of this site that are part of an ongoing remediation effort. There has been no Genpak activity or involvement, beyond a minimal amount of lawn maintenance, from the initial property acquisition in early 2012 to present day in these specified areas. Considering this information, Genpak respectfully submits the following certification for your review. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
