Certification Number: NCGNE1344
Facility Name: Karpen Steel Products
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Henken:
The Division has reviewed your application for a No Exposure Certification for Exclusion (NEC) for
the subject facility. Based on the information provided and a site visit conducted on April 9, 2019,
the NEC 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. Please see the attachment for information on self -
recertification.
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 Isaiah Reed at (828) 296-
4500.
Sincerely,
for S-. Ilan

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Sxvyte���gtt�M��ib� �d
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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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 has no expiration date
BUT MUST BE self re -certified at least annually.
Please look for information about re -certification under the No Exposure section on this page:
https:l/deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-mineral-land-p_ermits/stormwater-

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NOV-2018-PC-0457)
Site Number: WT002614
Karpen Steel
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Henken:
On November 2, 2018, Isaiah Reed from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Energy,
Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), visited the subject site located at 181 Reems Creek Reed in
Weaverville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. The site visit and file review revealed that Karpen Steel
has neither applied for, nor obtained coverage under, an NPDf;S General Permit No. NCG030000 (Metal
Fabrication) for stormwater discharges from the site. The site currently discharges stormwater affected by
processes on site to Reems Creek (C;Tr).
An NPDES permit or No Exposure Certification is required to discharge stormwater to waters of the state
in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1(a) and Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (hereby known
as NCAC) 211.0126. Enclosed with the inspection report is a copy of Notice of Intent (N01) and a No
Exposure Certification Application (NEC), that shall be filled out and submitted to the Department of
Environmental Quality within 30 calendar days of receipt of this Notice. Submission information can be
found in the NOI.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This office requires that the violations, as detailed above,
be properly resolved. These violations and any future violations are subject to a civil penalty
assessment of up to $25,000 per day for each violation. Your efforts to undertake activities to bring the
subject site into compliance are not an admission, rather they are actions that must be taken in order to
begin to resolve ongoing environmental issues. The timeliness with which you submit an NOI or NEC
Application, the degree and extent of harm to the environment, and the duration and gravity of the
violation(s) will be considered in. any civil penalty assessment process that may occur. Should you have
any questions regarding these matters, please contact Isaiah Reed or myself at [phone].
