Dear Mr. Mooney:
Dee Freeman

RECEIVED

CENTRAL FILES
OWQ/80G
The Division has reviewed your application for a No Exposure Certification for Exclusion (NE) for the subject
facility. Based on the information provided and a site visit conducted on April 17, 2012, the NE has been approved.
Please note that you are obligated to maintain no -exposure conditions at your facility. if conditions change such
that your facility can no longer qualify for a NE, 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 NE does not expire. In order to help assure that your facility stays in compliance
with all of the conditions in the Certification, you must self -recertify your facility at least annually. Unless
otherwise requested, you can maintain your annual re -certification on file at your facility. Please see the
attachment for information on self re -certification or visit the following website for guidance:
http://portal.ncdenr.or /wg eb/wg/ws/su/npdessw.
Site visit notes and recommendations:
During the site visit it was noted that there were items under tarps. These items were shelving and were
temporarily placed outside during construction activities but will not remain outside.
The facility is relatively new and was laid out with a good stormwater treatment system; including grass swales
flowing to two bio-retention (wetland) structures. These treatment systems will require maintenance for optimal
effectiveness. The following is a link to the Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual:
http://portal.ncdenr.orp,/web/wq/ws/su/bmp-manual. This manual is a design manual, but will assist you with
maintenance of your structures. Refer to Chapter 9 (9.5) for wetland structures maintenance and Chapter 14 (14.5)
for grass swale structures maintenance. One of your wetland structures had many cattails in it. Cattails are not to
be planted in wetlands because they will take over, and their root systems can clog an outlet structure. But their
seeds do migrate and invade wetlands so maintenance is,required to keep them at bay. Wetlands function best with
a variety of plants; it is recommended that your cattails be limited especially in the vicinity of your outlet structure.

Dear Mr Bennett:
Attached is the completed No Exposure Certification Form for the subject facility. Based on your
conversation with Mr. Bruce W. Stainbrook, Corporate Environmental Manager, the No Exposure
Certification form is being resubmitted as we are unable to find copies of the original submission
completed and submitted in 2006. In addition you confirmed in your discussion with Mr. Stainbrook that
the State does not have a a copy of the submission in your files.
With regards to question 12e in the application we offer the following additional information. Completed
bodies are loaded on to a truck outside the building for delivery to other facilities. These bodies are
completely finished and are customer ready and would be attached to a chassis. Altec Industries'
Burnsville manufacturing facility conducts the same loading operations that are conducted at our
Creedmoor, North Carolina manufacturing facility. In October 2007, Mr. Robert Patterson and Mr. Myrl
Nisely of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Management, Storm Water Division visited our
Creedmoor manufacturing facility at Altec industries request. The purpose of the visit was to review our
operations which included the loading and storage of completed bodies, and to determine if the
stormwater discharge outfalls covering these areas were exempted from permitting. Based on that visit, it
was determined that there was no exposure and that the body loading and storage operations were
considered the same as parking of vehicles, and therefore did not require a NPDES stormwater discharge
permit. Since the loading and storage operations at our Burnsville facility are the same, the loading of
completed bodies onto the trucks for delivery to other locations would also be exempted.
In addition, dumpsters at our Burnsville facility that are located outside the main building are covered or
located inside a separate building to eliminate contact with stormwater. Liquid chemicals, paints and
products utilized in our operations inside the building have secondary containment areas provided to
reduce the potential for a release to migrate outside of the building. No production operations are
conducted outside of the building. The facility has aboveground storage tanks for nitrogen, oxygen,
propane, carbon dioxide and argon stored outside the building. The tanks are inspected regularly to
assure that there no leaks or rusted piping.

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, DWO 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).
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

I certify under penalty of law that I have read and understand the eligibility requirements for claiming a condition of "no
exposure" and obtaining an exclusion from NPDES stormwater permitting,
certify under penalty of law that there are no discharges of stormwater contaminated by exposure to industrial activities
or materials from the industrial facility or site identified in this document (except as allowed under 40 CFR 122.26(g)(2)).
I understand that I am obligated to annually self re -certify No Exposure and, if requested, submit the re -certification to
DWQ or the operator of the local municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) into which the facility discharges (where

inspection reports publicly available upon request.
In the event that the site no longer qualifies for a No Exposure Exclusion, I understand that I must obtain coverage under
an NPDES permit prior to any point source discharge of stormwater from the facility. Additionally, I certify under penalty of
law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system
designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my

Dear Mr. Mooney:
The Division has reviewed your application for a No Exposure Certification for Exclusion (NE) for the subject
facility. Based on the information provided and a site visit conducted on April 17, 2012, the NE has been approved.
Please note that you are obligated to maintain no -exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such
that your facility can no longer qualify for a NE, 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 NE does not expire. In order to help assure that your facility stays in compliance
with all of the conditions in the Certification, you must self -recertify your facility at least annually. Unless
otherwise requested, you can maintain your annual re -certification on file at your facility. Please see the
attachment for information on self re -certification or visit the following website for guidance:
http://portal.ncden-r.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw.
Site visit notes and recommendations:
During the site visit it was noted that there were items under tarps. These items were shelving and were
temporarily placed outside during construction activities but will not remain outside.
The facility is relatively new and was laid out with a good stormwater treatment system; including grass swales
flowing to two bio-retention (wetland) structures. These treatment systems will require maintenance for optimal
effectiveness. The following is a link to the Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual:
http-.//portal.ncdear.org/web/wq/ws/su/bmp-manual. This manual is a design manual, but will assist you with
maintenance of your structures. Refer to Chapter 9 (9.5) for wetland structures maintenance and Chapter 14 (14.5)
for grass swale structures, maintenance. One of your wetland structures had many cattails in it. Cattails are not to
be planted in wetlands because they will take over, and their root systems can clog an outlet structure. But their
seeds do migrate and invade wetlands so maintenance is required to keep them at bay. Wetlands function best with
a variety of'plants; it is recommended that your cattails be limited especially in the vicinity of your outlet structure.
