The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification form for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the site visit
of July 22, 2009, and the photo of the connection of the air drying discharge to the sanitary sewer 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. We are also hereby rescinding your current permit Certificate of Coverage,
NCG050146.
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 30, 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 Marcia Allocco at [phone], or at
[e-mail].

Inspection Summary
The Herff Jones facility at 9601 Monroe Road is involved in the printing and manufacturing of yearbooks. There is no
film deveEopment involved as all images are conveyed digitally to the lithographic presses within the facility. The
facility is covered by Air Quality permit 07-005-0709 issued by the Mecklenburg County Air Quality Program for the
lithographic presses and other VOC emissions.
The facility was permitted through the City of Charlotte pre-treatment program but has recently been deemed a non -
Significant Industrial User (SIU) by the City and therefore a pre-treatment permit is not required. The previous
sampling location for the pre-treatment permit is exposed to stormwater. However, due to the depth of the pit all water
entrained during a storm event would be contained in the wastewater discharge.
The permittee discharges stormwater to an unnamed tributary (UT) to Irvins Creek just upstream from the confluence
with McAlpine Creek. An unknown concrete flared outlet to the UT was discovered on the Herff Jones property just
before the Creek passes under Delmar Office Drive. It does not appear that this outlet to waters of the state conveys
"industrial" stormwater from the Herff Jones property due to the angle of intersection with the UT (may be street
runoff).
The following areas were viewed during the inspection of the Herff Jones property:
General trash dumpster- The general trash dumpster is under cover and not exposed to stormwater. Herff Jones
should ensure drain plugs (if provided) are in place in the bottom of the dumpster to prevent any liquids placed in the
dumpster from being released.
Cardboard compactor - A hydraulic cardboard compactor was mounted on the concrete dock area near the general
trash dumpster. There was no indication of prior releases of hydraulic fluid. Although a failure of the system could be
a source of stormwater contamination. With that in mind the closest stormwater inlet is on the opposite side of the
dock and this would allow time for mitigation of any releases.
Empty drums - Two drums were noted in the rear of the property which Mr. Haig ler with Herff Jones noted they were
"empty". However, one drum had the plug removed and it was full of what appeared to be water. The drums were
removed for proper disposal before the end of the inspection. The storage of drums outside and not under cover could
constitute "exposure". To continue "No -Exposure" Herff Jones should properly dispose of used drums and not expose
them to stormwater.
Sawdust collecticn area - There was a drum full of saw dust in the rear of the main building which was a result of
cuttings which are directed to the drum through a chute. The sawdust was overflowing the drum at the time of the
inspection. Wood material such as sawdust can detrimentally impact surface waters due to its breakdown in the
environment. Herff Jones should routinely inspect and properly maintain the area to prevent stormwater
contamination.
Wastewater Pump station - Herff Jones owns and maintains a private pump station on the property at 9601 Monroe
Road. Mr. Haigler mentioned during the inspection that the pump station is visited weekly by a contractor to ensure
proper operation of the pump station and all associated equipment. Should the pump station fail Herff, Jones needs to
notify this Office as required by State regulations. Please see the flyer enclosed with the inspection report for more
information regarding the reporting of Sanitary Sewer Overflows.
Used oil storage area - There was staining on the concrete in the used oil storage area (in front of the 300-gallon tote
container) but this area was under cover. However, the staining is approach the edge of the overhand from the shelter
surrounding the storage area. Herff Jones needs to ensure that any spills are contained under the overhand and oil is
not migrating during wet weather events. If the oil is introduced into runoff then this would constitute "Exposure" and
Herff Jones would need to reapply for NCG050000.

Inspection Date: 07/22/09 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Trash compactor — The trash compactor onthe side of the main building is operated -through a hydraulic system.
There was no indication of prior releases of hydraulic fluid or wastewater. The failure of the hydraulic system could be
a source of stormwater/surface water contamination due to. the location of the nearest stormwater drop inlet and the
proximity of the UT to Iry -ins Creek which runs through the property. Herff Jones should ensure that a spill response kit
is available in this area to personnel which operate the compactor and should consider a Best Management Practice
(BMP) such as covering the drain when the compactor is in use.
Air dryer and Oil/Water Separator — Near the used oil storage area is an air drying system which removes humidity
from within the building. The discharge system was equipped with an oil/water separator and a charcoal filtering
system and it drained into a PVC pipe in the asphalt parking deck. it was unknown during the inspection whether this
discharged to the sanitary system or the stormwater system. A follow-up investigation by Mr. Haigler confirmed that
the system discharges to the sanitary system and he submitted photographic proof of the connection to the Division of
Water Quality on 7/23/09.
Stormwater discharge — A black corrugated pipe was noted intersecting the UT to Irvins Creek just downstream of the
pond on site. There was a small amount of flow in the pipe on the day of the inspection. 'From the map that was
provided in the "No -Exposure" application it appears this pipe is tied into the drop inlet near the trash compactor. This
drop inlet had standing water (assumed to be residual rainwater) and appeared to be partially blocked (pipe collapse?).
Herff Jones should clear the blockage from the drop inlet to ensure stormwater moves freely. Please consult our
Office if water other than "stormwater" is found to drain to this drop inlet and how it would affect the "No -Exposure"
certification.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE:
Submission of this No Exposure Certificafibn constitutes notification that your facility does not require a
permit for stormweter 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, DWQ 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 EVosure 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).
You are required to reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) vears.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit
based on NO EXPOSURE:
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility does not require permit
authorization for Its 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, andlor 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, lntennedlate 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 smaterfal 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 facile qualifying for the no exposure exclusion.
in addition, the exclusion from NPDES permitting Is available on a facility -wide basis only --not for
Individual outtails. H any Industrial activltles 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 must re -apply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (S} years.

G-20. In accordance with MCAPCO Section 1.5700 - "Toxic Air Pollutant .Procedures" and/or Regulation 2.1104 - "'Toxic Air Pollutant
Guidelines", the toxic air pollutants ("TAP") emitted by existing processes have been reviewed for regulatory applicability by MCAQ. If
applicable, an Appendix A lists the associated TAPS.
In accordance with MCAPCO Regulation 1.5111 - "General Recordkeeping: Reporting: Monitoring Requirements", and/or Regulation
2.0903 - " Record keeping. Reporting: Monitoring", the facility shall report any process additions, modifications or deletions which affect the
emissions of any TAP listed in MCAPCO Regulation 1.5711 - "Emission Rates Requiring a Permit", as prescribed by the following:
A. If the process modifications will result in a facility -wide TAP emission rate that exceeds the rate listed in MCAPCO Regulation 1.5711 for
any TAP, apply and receive an air toxics permit before the process modification occurs; or
B. If the process modifications will result in Facility -wide TAP emission rates that are below the rates listed in MCAPCO Regulation 1.5711,
submit the new emission rates to MCAQ 15 days prior to the initial change; or
C. If the process modifications will not result in a net TAP emission increase, provide MCAQ with demonstration (15 days prior to the initial
change) that the proposed modification will not result in a net TAP emission increase at the facility.
The facility is required to maintain documentation such that upon request by MCAQ, the facility can make a demonstration that facility -wide emissions of
TAPS have or have not exceeded the rates listed in MCAPCO Regulation 1.5711.
