Non -Exposure Certification Cover Letter
TRANSFLO Terminal Services, Inc.
Wilmington -Leland TRANSFLO Terminal
Brunswick County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Bradley Bennett:
On behalf of TRANSFLO Terminal Services, Inc. (TRANSFLO), Arcadis, U.S.,
Inc. (Arcadis) is providing the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ) this letter summarizing the justification behind the submittal of a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Non -Exposure
Certification (NCGNE0000) for TRANSFLO's Wilmington -Leland terminal located
at 1100 Old Mill Road NE, Navassa, North Carolina, 28451 (Terminal). A
preliminary evaluation by Arcadis and TRANSFLO representatives was
conducted to determine whether NPDES General Permit NCGO80000 (Permit)
coverage is required for the Terminal. Subsequently, NCDEQ representatives
(Carol Miller and Dan Sams) visited the Terminal to confirm conditions, as
described below.
A joint site visit with NCDEQ and TRANSFLO representatives was conducted at
the Terminal on April 21, 2016. The NCDEQ observed current site conditions and
determined that stormwater runoff from areas of industrial activities covered by
the Permit (i.e., vehicle/equipment maintenance and fueling) travels off -site by
sheet flow, and the sole point discharge at the terminal collects stormwater runoff
from areas of non -industrial activity as defined within the Permit. The NCDEQ
also determined that Terminal products were not exposed to stormwater either
during transfers from the rail cars to trucks or in the areas of industrial activity

Mr. Bradley Bennett
May 25, 2016
mentioned above. As a result of the site visit, the NCDEQ concluded that the
Terminal would quality for a non -exposure condition, and therefore did not require
coverage under the Permit.
Per the request of the NCDEQ, the Non -Exposure Certification form was
completed and is included with this letter as Enclosure 1 for your review and
approval. A terminal site map is included as Enclosure 2 for your reference.
If you have any questions regarding this matter or require any additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me at owen.hunter(a)arcadis.com or

Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes n(A kw tines not require a
permit for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in rtll Carolina because
it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion. A condition of no exposure at an ! ustria ility means all
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).
If approved, your conditional no -exposure exclusion must be self re -certified at least annually.
