Dear Mr. Shore:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting form. Based on your submittal of signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility and the
site visit conducted by Ms. Jenny Graznak of the Division's Winston-Salem Regional Office on September 9, 2009, 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, NCG30178.
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 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. Your conditional no -exposure exclusion expires in five
years (November 1, 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 Jenny Graznak at [phone] or
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
