The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification form for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the site visit
of July 22, 2009, and the photo of the connection of the air drying discharge to the sanitary sewer 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,
NCG050146.
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 (July 30, 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 Marcia Allocco at [phone] or at

Inspection Summary
The Herff Jones facility at 9601 Monroe Road is involved in the printing ano manufacturing of yeaiLuojks. Tiiei'a is n uz
film development involved as all images are conveyed digitally to the lithographic presses within the facility. The
facility is covered by Air Quality permit 07-005-0709 issued by the Mecklenburg County Air Quality Program far the
lithographic presses and other VOC emissions.
The facility was permitted through the City of Charlotte pre-treatment program but has recently been deemed a non -
Significant Industrial User (SIU) by the City and therefore a pre-treatment permit is not required. The previous
sampling location for the pre-treatment permit is exposed to stormwater. However, due to the depth of the pit all water
entrained during a storm event would be contained in the wastewater discharge.
The permittee discharges stormwater to an unnamed tributary (UT) to Irvins Creek just upstream from the confluence
with McAlpine Creek. An unknown concrete flared outlet to the UT was discovered on the Herff Jones property just
before the Creek passes under Delmar Office Drive. It does not appear that this outlet to waters of the state conveys
"industrial" stormwater from the Herff Jones property due to the angle of intersection with the UT (may be street
runoff).
The following areas were viewed during the inspection of the Herff Jones property:
General trash dumpster — The general trash dumpster is under cove'`and not exposed to stormwater. Herff Jones
should ensure drain plugs (if provided) are in place in the bottom of the dumpster to prevent any liquids placed in the
dumpster from being released.
Cardboard compactor - A hydraulic cardboard compactor was mounted on the concrete dock area near the general
trash dumpster. There was no indication of prior releases of hydraulic fluid. Although a failure of the system could be
a source of stormwater contamination. With that in mind the closest stormwater inlet is on the opposite side of the
dock and this would allow time for mitigation of any releases.
Empty drums — Two drums were noted in the rear of the property which Mr. Haigler with Herff Jones noted they were
"empty". However, one drum had the plug removed and it was full of what appeared to be water. The drums were
removed for proper disposal before the end of the inspection. The storage of drums outside and not under cover could
constitute "exposure". To continue "No -Exposure" Herff Jones should properly dispose of used drums and not expose
them to stormwater.
Sawdust collection area -- There was a drum full of saw dust in the rear of the main building which was a result of
cuttings which are directed to the drum through a chute. The sawdust was overflowing the drum at the time of the
inspection Wood material such as sawdust can detrimentally impact surface waters due to its breakdown in the
environment. Herff Jones should routinely inspect and properly maintain the area to prevent stormwater
contamination.
Wastewater Pump station — Herff Janes owns and maintains a private pump station on the property at 9601 Monroe
Road, Mr. Haigler mentioned during the inspection that the pump station is visited weekly by a contractor to ensure
proper operation of the pump station and all associated equipment. Should the pump station fail Herff Jones needs to
notify this Office as required by State regulations. Please see the flyer enclosed with the inspection report for more
information regarding the reporting of Sanitary Sewer Overflows.
Used oil storage area — There was staining on the concrete in the used oil storage area (in front of the 300-gallon tote
container) but this area was under cover. However, the staining is approach the edge of the overhand from the shelter
surrounding the storage area. Herff Jones needs to ensure that any spills are contained under the overhand and oil is
not migrating during wet weather events. If the oil is introduced into runoff then this would constitute "Exposure" and
Herff Jones would need to reapply for NCG050000.

There was no indication of prior releases of hydraulic fluid or wastewater. The failure of the hydraulic system could be
a source of stormwater/surface water contamination due to. the location of the nearest stormwater drop inlet and the
proximity of the UT to Irvins Creek which runs through the property. Herff Jones should ensure that a spill response kit
is available in this area to personnel which operate the compactor and should consider a Best Management Practice
(BMP) such as covering the drain when the compactor is in use.
Air dryer and Oil/Water Separator - Near the used dil storage area is an air drying system which removes humidity
from within the buiUrig. The discharge system was equipped with an oil/water separator and a charcoal filtering
system and it drained into a PVC pipe in the asphalt parking deck. It was unknown during the inspection whether this
discharged to the sanitary system or the stormwater system. A follow-up investigation by Mr. Haigler confirmed that
the system discharges to the sanitary system and he submitted photographic proof of the connection to the Division of
Water Quafity on 7/23/09.
Stormwater discharge - A black corrugated pipe was noted intersecting the UT to Irvins Creek just downstream of the
pond on site. There was a small amount of flow in the pipe on the day of the inspection. 'From the map that was
provided in.the "No -Exposure" application it appears this pipe is tied into the drop inlet near the trash compactor. This
drop inlet had standing water (assumed to be residual rainwater) and appeared to be partially blocked (pipe coflapse?).
Herff Jones should clear the blockage from the drep,inlet to ensure stormwater moves freely. Please consult our
Office if water other than "stormwater' is found to drain to this drop inlet and how it would affect the "No -Exposure'
certification.
