Dear Mr. McPherron;
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting form. Based on 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 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 (February 19, 2014). At that time you must re -certify with the Division, or
obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
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 Robert Patterson at [phone], or at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Coleen H. Sullins

Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility d?f of require permit --
authorization for its stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in the Sri ,of,hlorth
Carolina because it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion. A condition of no exposure at a►i indys tr' f .
i�v
facility means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter (wit
fr'sre
exceptions) to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff. h
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).

Facility was visited through a No -Exposure request. Facility was compliant with permit
during last MCWQP inspection.
ASTs —
The facility has two ASTs outside; one is a nitrogen gas tank and the other is an
anhydrous ammonia tank (2,000-gallons). The nitrogen tank does not have secondary
containment whereas the ammonia tank does have a cinder block containment structure.
The containment device discharge pipe was locked shut at the time of the inspection.
The facility contact stated that there has never been a discharge of water from the
secondary containment structure. There was evidence of deterioration on the exhaust
pipe from the tank that is rented. The facility contact was asked to monitor the
deterioration and contact the rental company for a replacement tank if needed.
There were a number of other illicit discharges to the ground surface during a previous
MCWQP inspection in the spring of 2008 that of all been corrected.
Stormwater flow onsite would be directed to a stormwater basin at the rear of the
property that was installed when the facility was constructed. There appeared to be
some woody vegetation (holly bushes planted on the berm/dam of the pond. The
facility contact was advised that the woody vegetation should not be allowed to
grow where it is planted because it could compromise the banks of the basin. The
contact was also advised to implement an inspection/maintenance program for
the stormwater basin to ensure it viable for collectionitreatment of stormwater.
Even with the above concerns MRO feels the No Exposure Certificate should be
granted.
