Stormwater Permit No. NCG020680
Stokes County
Dear Mr. McMillan:
,John E. Skvarla,lll
Secretary
This letter is just a follow-up to my inspection on March 26, 2013, concerning the above NPDES
General Stormwater Permit for the Pipe Plant Mine located off Pipe Plant Road in Stokes County, NC. It
is our offices' understanding that the mine never opened and that the site is undeveloped.
The NPDES General Stormwater Permit for the Pipe Plant Mine is valid until December 31, 2014.
If Pine Hall Brick wishes to continue to maintain the permit, simply keep paying the $100 annual permit
fee. As long as no industrial activity takes place, then development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
PIan is not required, nor does any monitoring specified by the permit need to be undertaken.
If at some future time you determine that this permit is no longer needed, then the permit can be
voided. To accomplish this, the attached "Rescission Request Form" should be completed and returned to
the Raleigh address noted. Once rescinded, the annual permit fees will cease.
Should you have any questions, please contact Lon Snider by phone at [phone] or by email
at [e-mail].

Dear Ms. Elmer:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting form, which we received on March 24, 2010. The Division is unable to concur with your certification of no
exposure.
Based on an inspection of your facility, Wilmington Regional Office staff found that industrial activities or materials on
your site either are exposed, or have the potential to be exposed. DWQ cannot grant your requested exemption from
permit coverage when industrial activities or materials are exposed or have the potential to be exposed. Please apply
for and secure a certificate of coverage under NPDES General Permit NCG060000. Please use the attached notice of
intent to apply for the permit. You are requested to make application within 30 days of receipt of this correspondence.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Linda Willis at [phone], or through email at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,

based on NO EXPOSURE: f-nr_ A
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility does not reqqAIperr''t
authorization for its stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in the State of NS;rth%
Carolina because it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion. A condition of no exposure at an indbWfal
facility means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter (rvitli"some
exceptions) 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. 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 922.26(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 5)
