Dear Mr. Price:
a
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 and a site visit on August 17, 2009
by Myrl Nisely of the Raleigh Regional Office, 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, NCGO60294.
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 unpermitted discharge (subject to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day). Your conditional no -exposure
exclusion expires in five years (August 19, 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 Myrl Nisely at [phone] or at [e-mail]
Dncerely,
for Coleen H. ullins

Inspection Summary:
This inspection was made to evaluate a No Exposure permit request. The current stormwater permit NCG060294 would be rescinded
if NE is approved.
The facility is has no exposed potential rainwater pollutants. The landscaping and housekeeping are immaculate. Employees
handling raw materials and finished product storage are trained to FlazMat 40 hr level. The No Exposure will be granted.
The NCG06 permit was recommended by their consultant when a standby generator was added a few years ago. That system is
isolated behind a fence, has a double -walled fuel tank, and would not have needed to come under a stormwater permit.

Division of Water Quality
Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection (CEI) at the subject facility on 24 September 2008. The assistance and cooperation of Ricky
Sigmon was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and the inspection findings are
summarized below.
The facility is located at 1093 Tom East Road, in Westfield, Stokes County, North Carolina. The facility discharges
stormwater to an unnamed tributary (UT) to Vade Mecum Creek, which is currently classified as a Class B water in
the Roanoke River Basin.
Documentation & Monitoring Review
3. The facility does not have a best management practices (BMP) plan as required by the permit.
4. Neither analytical nor qualitative monitoring has been conducted in accordance with the permit.
Site Review
5. The site has been shut down for about four months according to Mr. Sigmon. The site was inspected, including one
location that appears to be a stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) and the discharge point for mine dewatering
wastewater. No obvious indicators of water pollution were detected. The site is fairly clean and no outstanding issues
were noted.
6. There was one elevated steel diesel fuel tank and miscellaneous 5-gallon buckets of unknown materials. Please be
aware that although these quantities do not require secondary containment, you must still immediately clean up spills
and report spills of such chemicals in accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.75. It is strongly advisable, while
the site is in operation or as long as such chemicals are on the site, that you maintain the supplies and/or equipment
necessary to enable you to quickly contain and clean up spills.
7. Please be aware that the Division may assess civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per violation for failure to
comply with the requirements of NCG020000 and NC General Statutes 143-215.1 and 143-215.75. You may wish to
review the permit and general statutes in detail to familiarize yourself with the requirements of each. Please reply to

Comment: Permittee not required to have an stormwater pollution prevention plan but
is required to have a BMP plan. Permittee does not have a BMP plan. It is noted that
the facility is not currently in operation and was shut down approximately four months
ago. Permittee should still have the BMP plan from prior to site shutdown and should
maintain through permit expiration. The site has not been reclaimed, so it is assumed
there is a possibility of the site reopening for operations.
