Director Mr. Steve Wiese, Plant Manager STEAG Energy Services, LLC Post Office Box 1727 Kings Mountain, North Carolina 28086 Dear Mr. Wiese: May 9, 2012 Natural Resources Dee Freeman Subject: No -Exposure Certification NCGNE0840 STEAG Energy Services, LLC 304 Linwood Road, Kings Mountain, NC 28086 Cleveland County 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 visits of March 21, 2012 and May 8, 2012 (follow-up), 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 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. You must self 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 does not need to be submitted to DWQ 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 Wes Bell at (704) 235-2192, or at wes.bell@ncdenr.gov. Sincerely, for Charles Wakild, P.E.

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 Until you are issued a No Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue to abide by the terms and conditions of the current permit.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 outfal/s. 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). \ \\ I/ You are required to self re-certifv your No Exnnsutau re Furhminn anntv For questions, please contact the DWO Regional Office for your area (Seepage 6) (Please print or type) 1) Mailing address of owner/operator (address to which all certification correspondence will be mailed): Name Contact Street Address City Telep'" Email y:�w , 1) SWU-NE-12Auk2010 n.
