Dear Ms. Moore:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
MAR 4 2011
The Raleigh Regional Office (PRO) of the Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submitted
requests for No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater Permitting. The
Division is unable to concur with your checkbox certification of no exposure for either plant_ Based
on inspections of your facilities on February 24, 2011, Raleigh Regional Office staff found that
numerous materials on your sites were exposed. No exposure literally means that no materials
having a potential to pollute are exposed. This includes materials that may be directly exposed to
stormwater, either from precipitation or as stormwater that runs/flows across the surface of the
facility.
DWQ cannot grant your requested exemptions from permit coverage as follows:
Conditions at Plant #1 (Boone Trail Road) - This facility had oily surfaces, stained soils,
equipment and residual/waste products exposed and a damaged containment structure. The
inspection revealed concerns about ongoing violations; thereby, it is the intention of this office
to conduct a formal site inspection to determine whether oil, hazardous waste, or other water
quality violations are ongoing. It addition to requiring the Stormwater permit mentioned below,
you are encouraged to secure a consultant to assist you with management of waste materials and'
housekeeping needs.

Conditions at Plant 02 (fMcNeill Rd) - On October 21, 2010, the Raleigh Regional Office issued a
Notice of Violation for an illegal discharge of oil, impacting a surface water stream, and failure to
have a Stormwater permit to cover the on -site industrial activities (metal finishing) as required by
the Federal EPA for your SIC code. On November 16, 2010 you submitted a "no exposure request
for this facility". A site visit on December 14, 2010 revealed new product (petroleum) exposed on
the ground near the loading dock/compactor and sump pump areas. The February 24, 2011, `'No
Exposure" site visit investigation confirmed exposure of trash, oil -containing idle equipment and
inadequate housekeeping whereby the facility failed to qualify to be exempt from stormwater
Permitting.
Within 30 days of receipt of this letter you are requested to apply for General Permit NCG030000
(Metal Fabrication) for both facilities. Please see the enclosed application form. An electronic
vtersion is also'available at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw#tab-3 Scroll to
NCG030000 and the column for Notice of Intent (NOI). The permit text is also available at this
`; r %ebsite. NOTE: failure to secure a stormwater permit for this industrial facility is a violation
and is subject a Civil Penalty Assessment of up to $25,000 per day.

The Division has reviewed your submittal of the Ne-Exposure Certification form for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility and the site
visit of July, 2010 (pre -application), the Division is granting your conditional exclusion -from permitting as provided for
under 40 CFR 122.26(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 facifity. 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.
You must seff re -certify your No -Exposure status annually using the included form or obtain NPDES permit
coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility. The annual self re -certification form should be
maintained on site and does not need to be submitted to DINQ unless requested.
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].

No -Exposure Self Re -Certification Information.
You are obligated to maintain nc-exposure` ccnditions at your facility. If conditions change such that
your facility can no lor.cer qualify for a no -exposure exclusion, you are cbiigated to immediately obtain
NPDES permit coverage for your stormwater discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to
enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. State statute provides far fines of up to $25,000 per day far
un-permitted discharges.
Your conditional no -exposure exclusion must be self re -certified at least annually as follows:
- Complete the re -certification at a minimum of once per year using the included Self Re -
Certification Form.
(additional copies can be downloaded from httpliportal.ncdenr.org/,Neblwqhrrs/su/npdessw4,Nc_Exposure_NPDES )
- Maintain a record of re -certifications on file at the facility. Do not submit the re -certification to
DWQ unless requested. If requested, submit a copy of the re -certification to the Division and/or
the municipality in which the facility is located.
-During an inspection by DWQ or local government, provide the re -certifications immediately
upon request.
- Notify the Division of any changes in ownership, significant facility and/or activity changes, or if
the facility can no longer maintain no -exposure.
-Allow the NPDES permitting authority or, if discharging into a municipal separate storm sewer
system, the operator of the system, to: (1) inspect the facility; and (2) make such inspection reports
publicly available upon request.
" "No exposure" means that all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to
prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or 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, intermediate product, final product
or waste product. (40 CFR 122.26(g))

National Pollutant Discharde 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 fora 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 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)
