A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter 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 without operational taps or valves;
— adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling; and
— final products, other than products that would be mobilized in storm water discharges (e.g., rock salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided fur 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

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
7005 0390 0000 5871 0528
On December 16, 2005, Jennie Atkins of the Division of Water Quality visited the Tramway Veneer site in Sanford, North Carolina.
Your aid during this visit was greatly appreciated.
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)(4) states that a permit is required for the point source discharge of stormwater into state
waters. During the her visit, you and Dr. Atkins identified three point sources for the discharge of stormwater from the Tramway
Veneer site. As of this time, the facility does not have a stormwater permit.
Industrial sites are required to obtain permit coverage through either general or individual permits, dependent upon the industrial
activities being conducted at the site. Tramway Veneer would be covered under general permit NCG210000. A technical bulletin for
this permit as well as an application ("Notice of Intent") for a certificate of coverage (COC) under the permit is enclosed with this
letter.
At the time of the visit, a large amount of old equipment was being stored outdoors. If this equipment is removed or relocated to a
covered area, the facility may be eligible for no exposure certification since all industrial activities at the site occur indoors. A no
exposure certification application has also been enclosed with this letter. If you choose this option, please mail the completed form to
Stormwater and General Permits Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617,
not to the EPA as stated on the application.
Please respond to this letter by submitting an application for either a COC or no exposure certification by Febmary 16, 2006. Failure
to submit the document by the required date may result in the assessment of civil penalties against the facility.
If you have any questions, please contact Jennie Atkins at [phone] or at [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Rickard:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on January 20, 2006. Based on your submittal and signed
certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the Division is granting your certification as
provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(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. Your
conditional no -exposure exclusion expires in five years (April 30, 2011). At that time you must re -certify with
the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your certification of no exposure 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 Sarah Young at [phone], ext.

Dear Mr. Rickard:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
7005 0390 0000 5871 0528
On December 16, 2005, Jennie Atkins of the Division of Water Quality visited the Tramway Veneer site in Sanford, North Carolina.
Your aid during this visit was greatly appreciated.
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.l(a)(4) states that a permit is required for the point source discharge of stormwater into state
waters. During the her visit, you and Dr. Atkins identified three point sources for the discharge of stormwater from the Tramway
Veneer site. As of this time, the facility does not have a stormwater permit.
Industrial sites are required to obtain permit coverage through either general or individual permits, dependent upon the industrial
activities being conducted at the site. Tramway Veneer would be covered under general permit NCG210000. A technical bulletin for
this permit as well as an application ("Notice of Intent") for a certificate of coverage (COC) under the permit is enclosed with this
letter.
At the time of the visit, a large amount of old equipment was being stored outdoors. If this equipment is removed or relocated to a
covered area, the facility may be eligible for no exposure certification since all industrial activities at the site occur indoors. A no
exposure certification application has also been enclosed with this letter. If you choose this option, please mail the completed form to
Stormwater and General Permits Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617,
not to the EPA as stated on the application.
Please respond to this letter by submitting an application for either a COC or no exposure certification by February 16, 2006. Failure
to submit the document by the required date may result in the assessment of civil penalties against the facility.
If you have any questions, please contact Jennie Atkins at [phone] or at [e-mail].

Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity identified in Section A oaplo�-T�gGre permit authorization for its storm water
discharges associated with industrial activity in the State identified in Section B under EPA's Storm Wafer Multi -Sector General Permit due to the existence
of a condition of no exposure.
A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter 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 without operational taps or valves;
— adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling; and
— final products, other than products that would be mobilized in storm water 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, the entity in Section A is certifying that a condition of no exposure exists at its facility or site,
and is obligated to comply with the terms and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g).
