Subject: No Exposure Certification NCGNE1381
Metallix Refining Inc.
Pitt County
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) has reviewed your submittal of the No
Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater Permitting form. Based on your submittal
and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility as well as observations made
during a site visit conducted by William J Moore with the Washington Regional Office on 01/23/2020,
the Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR
122.26(g), which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations.
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
the No Exposure Certification, 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. You must self -re -certify annually that the No Exposure conditions are being met by completing
the Annual Self Re -Certification Form, which can be found at https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-
mineral-land-resources/npdes-no-exposure. The completed form does not need to be submitted but shall
be kept onsite and made available upon request.
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 William J Moore at 252-946-6491
Ext.264.
Sincerely,
