RE: No Exposure Certification NCGNE1129
American Greenz, Inc.

Dear Mr. Patel:
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 as well as observations made by Thad Valentine with the Raleigh Regional Office on
September 29, 2016, the Division is granting your conditional exclusion from 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 the
No Exposure Certification, 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.
You must self re -certify annually using the enclosed 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
DEMLR unless requested.
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 Thad Valentine at [phone].

Hi John,
I reviewed four No Exposure requests this morning, and reached final action on three of them. We will send you copies
of those once they are completed (today, maybe).
Laura will be sending a copy of the fourth application to RRO for inspection, please. American Greenz on Morrisville
Parkway functions as an a -waste collection, segregation, re -packaging, and transfer, hub. They would be normally
covered under NCG13 (non-metal recycling), or NCG20 (metal recycling), or NCGNE (which they have applied for.)
They have only been in business since January, 2016. 1 think this would be a great time to just be sure this business
understands environmental protection as it applies to stormwater - - their website explains that their Vice President and
Chief Technology Officer has 7 years of experience.
Can you all make time to look at this one, and get back to me? We will finish the processing of the application based on
your report of the site.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based

-A;!
orrar: r:
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your facility does not require ql
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 I
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, DEMLR 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, 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 122.26(g). I
If approved, your conditional no -exposure exclusion must be self re -certified at least annually.

prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff.
For permitted -facilities in North Carolina, DEMLR 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, 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.precipita[ion, 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 122.26(g).
If approved, your conditional no -exposure exclusion must be self re -certified at least annually.
