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, as well
as observations made during a site visit conducted by Mike Lawyer with the Fayetteville Regional Office on August 18,
2009, 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 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 (October 12, 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.
i
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Mike Lawyer at (910) o433-3329.

Dear Mr. Lotz:
This letter serves as a follow-up to the site visit conducted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 where I met with you and
Mr. David Cox. As discussed during the site visit, coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG060000 is
"...applicable to all owners or operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with activities classified as
establishments primarily engaged in activities classified as Food and Kindred Products [standard industrial classification
(SIC) 201, Tobacco Products (SIC 21), Soaps, Detergents and Cleaning Preparations; Perfumes, Cosmetics and Other
Toilet Preparations (SIC 284), Drugs (SIC 283). and Public Warehousing and Storage (SIC 4221-4225). During the site
visit, it was confirmed that the SIC code for the processing facility does fall into one of the above categories and that your
facility has at least four outfalls that convey stormwater from the property. However, based on observations made at the
time of the site visit, it was also determined that the facility could potentially qualify for the No Exposure Certification.
Based on this information, I provided you with a copy of the Notice of Intent application form for coverage under the
NCGO60000 general stormwater permit and have enclosed with this letter a copy of the application for No Exposure
Certification. Our office requests that you submit the Notice of Intent form or application for No Exposure
Certification within 30 calendar days from receipt of,this letter. Please be advised that continued operation of
your facility without proper permit coverage or No Exposure Certification could result in the issuance of a Notice
of Violation as well as the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per violation.
If you or your staff has any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at 910-433-3329.

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION Please check here if this is a renewal: 0 RENEWAL
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE:
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, 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 bythe 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. `Seated" 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
storm water 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).
You are required to reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) years.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

Dear Mr. Lotz:
This letter serves as a follow-up to the site visit conducted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 where I met with you and
Mr. David Cox- As discussed during the site visit, coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG060000 is
"...applicable to all owners or operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with activities classified as
establishments primarily engaged in activities classified as Food and Kindred Products [standard industrial classification
(SIC) 20], Tobacco Products (SIC 21), Soaps, Detergents and Cleaning Preparations; Perfumes, Cosmetics and Other
Toilet Preparations (SIC 284), Drugs (SIC 283), and Public Warehousing and Storage (SIC 4221-4225). During the site
visit, it was confirmed that the SIC code for the processing facility does fall into one of the above categories and that your
facility has at least four outfalls that convey stormwater from the property. However, based on observations made at the
time of the site visit, it was also determined that the facility could potentially qualify for the No Exposure Certification.
Based on this information, I provided you with a copy of the Notice of Intent application form for coverage under the
NCG060000 general stormwater permit -and have enclosed -with this letter a copy of the application for No Exposure
Certification. Our office requests that you submit the Notice of Intent form or application for No -Exposure
Certification within 30 calendar days from receipt of this letter. Please be advised that continued operation of
your facility without proper permit coverage or No Exposure Certification could result in the issuance of a Notice
of Violation as well as the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per violation.

Site visit to Southern Peanut Co., Inc. (Peanut Processors, Inc.). Waste peanut hulls located
behind the processing plant. There were trucks and a backhoe on site when I arrived loading the
hulls for removal from the sight. 1 spoke with the driver of one of the trucks and Ile stated that
they were in the process of hauling the hulls/shells to McGill I -Environmental in Sampson County
for disposal. The waste shells covered close to 'Ws of an acre total. The odor was pretty bad and
there was some black, stagnant water (leachate) adjacent to the drive way as well. I could not
verify if any of the water was going off -site due to equipment lying adjacent to rile fence and the
thickly vegetated area behind the fence.
Mr. David Cox, plant manager, arrived and informed him that i was responding to a complaint
about the peanut shells being dumped behind the plant and that it was alleged that this had been
going oil for some time. Mr. Cox stated that this was not the typical method for managing the
waste and that they were selling the shells to Carroll Farms out of Warsaw at one time but the
buyer could not or had not been able to pick the shells up. Mr. Cox further stated that this was
the only option he had at the time other than closing down his facility. I informed Mr. Cox that
the shells are an industrial waste and that he should've taken them to the landfill or contact other
facilities that could possibly use the shells in their compost process or even for boiler fuel if'
possible. He stated that he had contacted McGill and would be sending, all of the shells to
McGill and the site cleaned up with 10 clays of my visit. I informed Mr. Cox that he should also
remove any soils that may have been impacted by the stagnant water (leachate) or the
decomposition of the shells. He stated that he would take care of it. I informed Mr. Cox that his
Company would be receiving a NOV.
