products and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 2499, along with the fact that no
exposure of industrial activities to precipitation, your facility is deemed eligible for the no exposure
exclusion
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, other lawful standards and
regulations promulgated and adopted by the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, all owners and operators of stormwater
point source discharges associated with establishments primarily engaged in activities classified
as Lumber and Wood Products, Except Furniture (SIC 24), are required to obtain an NPDES permit
to cover stormwater discharges from their sites or an NPDES No Exposure Certification for
Exclusion.
Enclosed with this Notice, please find a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
application for No Exposure Certification for Exclusion NCGNE0000. Your application should
be completed and submitted to:

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE:
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your facility does not require a
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
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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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.

clean and appeared to have no safety problems. No trip hazards or unsafe obstructions were noted inside the facility.
Safety Note: Hearing protection, safety glasses, and safety shoes should be worn while inspecting this facility.
(111) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On June 30, 2016, I (Cheng Zhang) met with Ronald Cox, owner and plant
manager for Wood Products, Inc. to conduct a compliance inspection of the facility. We first reviewed the permit
and then took a tour of the facility. At the time of the inspection, there were several workers using different pieces of
woodworking equipment that attached to the woodwaste collection system. Mr. Cox stated that he was informed by
the landlord that he needed to relocate the facility by the end of November 2016, because the building will be torn
down for redevelopment.
Overall, the facility seemed to be running well from an air quality standpoint. The woodwaste collection system
was operating with 0% opacity. No depositions were observed on the property or any adjacent properties. Annual
inspections were logged into a logbook and kept onsite.
(IV) PERMITTED EMISSION SOURCES:
1. A simple cyclone (86 inches in diameter, ID No. C-1) installed on a wood waste collection system (ID No. WC-1)

A.3 Particulate Emission Limitations: Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .0512, particulate matter emissions from the
affected emission sources listed in the permit shall not exceed allowable emission rates which are determined based
on process throughput rates using the equations provided in the permit. In compliance. All woodworking
equipment is hooked to a woodwaste collection system. Other than the simple cyclone, the facility also has
two internal woodwaste collection systems that collect finer saw dust, these systems do not emit to the air.
AA 2D .0521 Control of Visible Emissions: Visible emissions from the facility emission sources, established after
July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20 percent opacity. In compliance. No visible emissions were observed
during the inspection.

emissions are released for more than four (4) hours. In compliance. Mr. Cox stated that there had been no
excess emissions due to a malfunction.
