Dear Ms. Whisnant:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form- This Office has reviewed your submittal and a site visit was conducted on July
14. 2009, by Mr. Michael Parker with this Office to verify that your facility meets the Division's no -exposure
criteria.
As noted during Mr. Parker's visit, there are several dumpsters located on the south side of your
building that are used for scrap metal collection from your industrial cutting and fabrication process. This
scrap metal would be expected to have traces amounts of lubricating fluids from the cutting process,
which can be expected to come into contact with Stormwater and released from the dumpsters through
bottom drainage holes. The direct impact to storm water in this area constitutes exposure under the
current Division guidelines.
The stormwater from the area of the dumpsters travels across a paved area into a stormwater
drain at the edge of the parking lot. From there, the stormwater drain discharges immediately below an
earthen berm into an adjacent wooded area. Based on current Division guidelines, this surface drain and
outlet would normally constitute a point source discharge and the combination of the exposure of the
metal cuttings and the evidence of a point source discharge would indicate that your facility is expected
to comply with Phase I of the Industrial Stormwater program. It was noted, however, by Mr. Parker that
the path of the stormwater discharge from the outlet pipe only travels a short distance before it spreads
out as sheet flow through a wooded area before it reaches your property line. Per Division guidelines, it
is necessary that a point source from a facility be identified at the property line, so analytical and
qualitative monitoring can be collected. In your case, however, it appears that all stormwater leaves your
property as sheet flow and is not collected by any type of conveyance feature at the point where it exits
your property. Such being the case, you are not required to apply for a SW permit or obtain a no -
exposure certification at this time.

It is, however, recommended that any scrap metal dumpsters located onsite be covered with a
roof or some other mechanism that will prevent stormwater from entering the dumpsters and coming into
contact with the scrap metal. Once completed, this will also eliminate your current exposure and
minimize your potential for future stormwater compliance issues.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Mr. Michael Parker at (704)

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION Please check here if this is a renewal- 19 RENEWAL
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE:
V
Sy
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your facility. does not require a.. s �o
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
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 12226(g).
You are required to reawly for the No Exposure Exclusion once eveEy five 5 ears.
For questions, please contact the DWO Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)
