Secretary
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, and a site
visit on May 14, 2013, the Division is granting your conditional exclusion from stormwater 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. Failure to
obtain a No -Exposure exclusion could also subject you to enforcement for an unpermitted stormwater 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. Please note that 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 me at [phone] or by email at
Michael. [e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Charles Wakild, PE

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION for Exclusion
NCGNE0000
NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION
APR 2 2 2013
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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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 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, byproducts, 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 onty--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
terns and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g).
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

Re: Stormwater Response
Powder Coating Services, Inc. — PLANT #2
1808 Bradbury Ct.,
Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina
CPEES Job No. 1137-001
Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
On behalf of Powder Coating Services, Inc.(PLANT 42) located at 1808 Bradbury Ct., Gastonia,
Gaston County, North Carolina, CP Engineering and Environmental Solutions (CPEES) is
pleased to submit NCGNE0000 request to the State for a NPDES Stormwater No Exposure
Application for the subject facility operations. The facility conducts their operation under the
SIC code 3479 (Coatings and Allied Services). Therefore, the applicable NPDES Stormwater
General Permit for this SIC code is NCG030000. However, Power Coating Services is very
diligent in controlling the exposure of facility oil/chemical storages and loadinglunloading
operations to stormwater. Thus, Power Coating Services had requested CPEES to review the
facility operations and assess the NPDES Stormwater General Permit Exemption criteria and No
Exposure certification.
SITE REVIEW
On March 12, 2013, CPEES had conducted a site review for the facility operations exposed to
stormwater. During the facility review, the following areas were reviewed for the stormwater
exposure:
• Oil and Chemical storage areas/tanks out side the plant building;
• Materials storage outside the plant operations;
• Loading and unloading at the docks;
• Roof discharges;
• Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented at the site;
• General site erosion and sediment transport; and
• General leaks from the building.
APR 1 5 2013
W - WAM 59ZI-TY
FINDINGS
Please notes current, the facility is in operation_I to 4 days per month due to poor economic
conditions The operations at the facility had reduced considerably and no/minimum painting
operations are conducted and thus, no/minimum_ hazardous waste is being generated.

Chalam Pakala Engineering and Environmental Solutions
10017 Allyson Park Dr., Charlotte, NC 28277 Tel [phone], Fax: [phone]
Based on the site review, CPEES believes Power Coating Services had implemented several
controls (BMPs) to mitigate the exposure of oil/chemical storage areas, transfer practices and
general operations from stormwater. Some of our observations include:
Currently, facility is conducting minimal to NO operations.
• All chemical drums are kept inside a building on secondary containment pallets;
+ No oils are received at the site;
• Minimal amounts of chemicals are received at the site and they are being handled either
manually or with hand trolleys for keeping them inside the plant building.
• No underground storage tanks were observed at the site;
• One trash dumpster with a lid, containing general trash from the operations, exists at the
facility with a minimal/no exposure to stormwater;
• No to minimal soil erosion was observed at the facility, and
• The overall facility yard appeared to be well maintained with no materials exposed to
stormwater.
NO EXPOSURE APPLICATION
CPEES has completed the State NCGNE0000 "No Exposure" application package to meet the
State requirements. The package includes the application and a Ste Location Map (Figure 1).
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our site review and findings, CPEES believes that the subject facility should be
exempted from the NPDES Stormwater General Permit at the present time.
However, should the facility decides to change the operations in the future and could potentially
impact the stormwater, then the facility should apply for the NPDES Stormwater Permit at that
time to meet the NC DENR Division of Water Quality Requirements.
CLOSING
It is my pleasure to complete this important project for Power Coating Services and please call
me at 704-541-4042 should you have any questions on this permit exemption request.
Respectfully submitted,
