NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATIONR
W NS7t1�
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Storrriwat`A�t�l� rinit 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,andlor runoff.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DWQ must approve your application for No
Exposure Certification before this exclusion is effective. Lentil 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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.,rack 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).
You are required to self re-certif ► your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions,please contact the DWQ Regional office for your area. (See page 6)

Rockingham County
Dear Mr.Sutherland:
Aana Taylor-Smith and Sue White of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Energy, Mineral,and
Land Resources{DE MLR}conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the subject facility on 12 November
2013.You r ass ista n ce and cooperation during the inspection were greatly appreciated.An inspection checklist is
attached for your records and the inspection findings are summarized below.
This facility is located at 203 North 1"Avenue in Mayodan, Rockingham County, North Carolina.Stormwater
related to industrial activity is discharged from the site to the Maya River,this segment of which is currently
classified as Class C Waters, in the Roanoke River Basin.
Documentation&Monitoring Review
The facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) is in development, but contains all of the required
elements and is up to date.Qualitative and analytical monitoring have not yet been completed, but the permit
was just issued in May 2013.The facility has one Stormwater Discharge DutfaII (SDO)that discharges Stormwater
related to industrial activity.
Site Review
The facility is clean and well-maintained.Secondary containment is implemented as required.The outfaII was
inspected and found to be in good order. No evidence of erosion or instability at the Soo was observed and the
receiving stream was free of pollution indicators. During the inspection,it was noted that this facility would
qualify for No Exposure Certification,which would eliminate the need for the NCG060000 General Stormwater
Permit. For more information on No Exposure Certification, please visit our website at the following link:

PART I— INTRODUCTION
SECTION A: GENERAL PERMIT COVERAGE
All persons desiring to have Facilities covered by this General Permit must register with the Division
of Water Quality(DWQ)by the Filing of a Notice of Intent(NO I)and applicable Fees,The NO shall be
submitted and a certificate of coverage issued prior to any point source discharge of stormwater
associated with industrial activity to the surface waters of the state.
Any owner or operator not wishing to be covered or limited by this General Permit may make
application far an individual NPDES permit in accordance with NPDES procedures in 15A NCAC 2H
.0100,stating the reasons supporting the request. Any application for an individual permit should
be made at least 180 days prior to commencement of discharge.
This General Permit does not cover activities or discharges covered by an individual NPDES permit
until the individual permit has expired or has been revoked. Any person conducting an activity
covered by an individual permit but which could be covered by this General Permit may request
that the individual permit be revoked and coverage under this General Permit be provided.
If industrial materials and activities are not exposed to precipitation or runoff as described in 40
CFR§122.26(g),the facility may quatify for a No Exposure Exclusion From NPDES stormwater
discharge permit requirements. Any owner or operator wishing to obtain a N❑ Exposure Exclusion
must submit a No Exposure Certification Notice of Intent(NOl) form to the Division;must receive
approval by the Division; must maintain no exposure conditions unless RLIthorized to discharge
under a valid NPDES stormwater permit; and must recertify the No Exposure Exclusion annually.
Any facility may apply Far new or continued coverage under this permit until a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TM DL) for pollutants for stormwater is established. A TMDL sets a pollutant-loading
limit that affects a watershed,or portion of a watershed,draining to a specific impaired water. For
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL,coverage under this permit may depend on the
facility demonstrating it does not have reasonable potential to violate applicable water
quality standards for those pollutants as a result of discharges. If DWQ determines that
discharges have reasonable potential to cause water quality standard violations,the facility shall
apply For an individual permit 180 days prior to the expiration date of this General Permit, Once
that individual permit is effective,the Facility will no longer have coverage under this General
Permit. Note that the permittee must identify impaired waters(scheduled for TMDL.development)
and waters already subject to a T M D L in the Site Plan,as outlined in the stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan,Part ll,Section A.
During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration,the
permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity. Such
discharges shall be controlled,limited and inoititored as specified in this permit.
Part 1 Page 1 of 2

Permit No.NCG060000
SECTION B: PERMITTED ACTIVITIES
Until coverage under this permit expires or is modified or revoked,the permittee is authorized to
discharge stormwater to the surface waters of North Carolina,or to a separate storm sewer system,
which has been adequately treated and managed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this General Permit.
Any other point source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit,authorization,or approval.
The discharges allowed by this General Permit shall not cause or contribute to violations of
Water Quality Standards.
This permit does not relieve the permittee's responsibility for compliance with any other applicable
federal,state,or Iocal law,rule,standard,ordinance,order,or decree.

PART II--MONITORING,CONTROLS,AND LIMITATIONS FOR PERMITTED
DISCHARGES
SECTION A: STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permiittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The
SPPP shall be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by the Division. The SPPP
is public information in accordance with Part III,Standard Conditions,Section E,paragraph 3 of this
permit. The SPPP shall include,at a minimum,the following items:
1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the
potential pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater
discharges. The Site Overview shall contain the Following:
(a) A general location map(USGS quadrangle snap or appropriately drafted equivalent map),
showing the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters;the
name of the receiving waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge,or if the discharge
is to a municipal separate storm sewer system,the name of the municipality and the
ultimate receiving waters;and accurate latitude and longitude of the points of stormwater
discharge associated with industrial activity. The general location map (or alternatively the
site map)shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired (on the state's 303(d)
list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL has been
established,and what the parameters of concern are.
(b) A narrative description of storage practices,loading and unloading activities,outdoor
process areas,dust or particulate generating or control processes,and waste disposal
practices. A narrative description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be
present in the stormwater discharge from each outfall,
(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the
stormwater discharge outfalls;all on-site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands;
industrial activity areas (including storage of materials,disposal areas,process areas,
loading and unloading areas,and haul roads);site topography and finished grade;all
drainage features and structures;drainage area boundaries and total contributing area for
each❑utfall;direction of Flow in each drainage area;industrial activities occurring in each
drainage area;buildings;stormwater Best Management Practices(BMPs); and impervious
surfaces. The site map inust indicate the percentage of each drainage area that is
impervious,and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north arrow.
(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3)years and
any corrective actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.
(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of 11on-
stormwater discharges. The permittee shall re-certify annually that the stormwater
outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. The
certi Fi cation statement will be signed in accordance with the requirements Found in Part Ill,
Standard Conditions,Section B,Paragraph 3.
Part I Page 1 of 12

Permit No.NCGO60000
2. Stormwater Management Strategy, The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a
narrative description of the materials management practices employed which control or
minimize the stormwater exposure of significant materials,including structural and
nonstructural measures. The Stormwater Management Strategy,at a minimum,shall
incorporate the following:
(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic Feasibility of changing the
methods of operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of
materials and processes to rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical,the permittee
shall prevent exposure of all storage areas,material handling operations,and
manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where elimination of exposure is not
practical,this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the stormwater run-on
away from areas of potential contamination,
(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is
required for, bulk storage of liquid materials including petroleum products;storage in au
amount of Section 313 of Title Ill of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA)water priority chemicals;and storage in any amount of hazardous substances,in
order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff, A table or
summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to
stormwater conveyance systems,the connection shall be controlled by manually activated
valves or other similar devices(which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism).
Any stormwater that accumulates in the containment area shall he at a minimum visually
observed for color,foam,outfall staining,visible sheens and dry weather flow,prior to
release of the accumulated stormwater, Accumulated stormwater shall be released if found
to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting the individual making the
observation,the description of the accumulated stormwater,and the date and time of the
release shall be kept for a period of five(5)years. For facilities subject to a federal oil Spill
Prevention,Control,and Countermeasure Plan(SPCC),any portion of the SPCC plan fully
compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance
with this permit.
(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices
(BMPs) shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on
the assessment of the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants
to stormwater discharges and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater
discharges. The BMP Summary shall include a written record of the specific rationale for
installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs. The BMP Summary shall be
reviewed and updated annually,
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures, The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
(SPRP)shall incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials
inventory of the facility.Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be
identified in a written list incorporated into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual
acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan. A responsible person shall be on-site at all
times during facility operations that have the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff
through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility operations. The SPRP must
be site stormwater specific. Therefore,an oil Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP,but may not be sufficient to completely address
the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be
incorporated by reference into the SPRP.
Part 11 Page 2 of 12

Permit No.NCG060000
4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance
and good housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall
address all stormwater control systems(if applicable),stormwater discharge outfalls,all on-site
and adjacent surface waters and wetlands,industrial activity areas (including material storage
areas,material handling areas,disposal areas,process areas,loading and unloading areas,and
haul roads),all drainage features and structures,and existing structural BMPs. The program
shall establish schedules of inspections,maintenance,and housekeeping activities of
stormwater control systems,as well as facility equipment,facility areas,and facility systems
that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not already
addressed under another element of the SPPP, Inspection of material handling areas and
regular cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely
compliance with the established schedules for inspections,maintenance,and housekeeping
shall be recorded and maintained in the SPPP,
S. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part
of the Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-
annual schedule,once during the first half of the year[January to]une),and once during the
second half(July to December),with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless
performed more frequently than semi-annually). These facility inspections are different from,
and in addition to,the stormwater discharge characteristic monitoring at the outfalls required
in Part lI B,C,and D of this permit,
6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a
minimum on an annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for, spill response and
cleanup,preventative maintenance activities,and for any of the facility's operations that have
the potential to contaminate stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for
implementing the training shall be identified, and their annual training shall be documented by
the signature of each employee trained.
7. Responsible Patty. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the
overall coordination,development,implementation,and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities
far all components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided.
8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there
is a change in design,construction,operation,site drainage,maintenance,or configuration of
the physical features which may have a significant effect on the potential For the discharge of
pollutants to surface waters. All aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an
annual basis.The annual update shall include:
(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants For the previous three(3)
years,or the notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re-certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the
presence of non-stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on-site stormwater BMPs
(BMPSummary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values(if
applicable) over the pastyear,including a discussion about Tiered Response status.
The permittee shall use the Division's Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report
(DMR) form,available from the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website(See
'Monitoring Forms'here:httl2:llportgl.ncdeiir.org/web/wq/ws/sti/npdess��].

SECTION B: ANALYTICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified in Table 1. All
analytical monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event at each stormwater
discharge 0Utfall (SD0). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial activity must
be sampled (See Definitions),
A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge From the
permitted site outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours
prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter
interval is representative for local storm events during the sampling period,and the permittee

provisions of this permit prompt monthly sampling].
2 if no discharge occurs during the sampling period,the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating"No FIow"or"No Discharge"within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters for a specified time period. "No discharge"from an outfall or
inability to collect a sample because of adverse weather conditions during a monitoring period,for
example,does not constitute Failure to monitor,as long as it is properly reported.
The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values in Table 3. The benchmark
values in Table 3 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan(SPPP). Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to increase
monitoring,increase management actions,increase record keeping,and/or install stormwater Best
Management Practices(BM Ps) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions of Tier One,Tier Two,
and Tier Three response actions below, In the event that the Division releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three,DWQ's release letter remains in effect through
subsequent reissuance of this permit,unless the release letter provides for other conditions or
duration.

2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring for all parameters. The permittee shall conduct monthly
monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value for two consecutive
samples. Monthly[analytical and qualitative]monitoring shall continue until three consecutive sample
results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. if no discharge occurs during the sampling period,the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating"No Flow"to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
Tier Three
During the term of this permit,if the valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods
exceed the benchmark value,or are outside the benchmark range,for any specific parameter at any specific

3 Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfalI(SDO)that discharges
stormwater runoff from area(s)where vehicle maintenance activities occur.
4 For each sampled measureable storm event the total precipitation must be recorded. An on-sire or local
rain gauge reading must be recorded. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time,a
local rain gauge reading may be substituted For an on-site reading.
Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in the Division requiring monthly
monitoring for all parameters For a specified time period,as provided in Part II Section B.
Monitoring results shall be compared to the benchmark values in Table S, The benchmark values
in Table 5 are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for the permittee's Stormwa ter
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP), Exceedances of benchmark values require the permittee to
increase monitoring,increase management actions,increase record keeping,and/or install
stormwater Best Management Practices(BMPs),as provided in Part I1 Section B. In the eventthat
the Division releases the permittee From continued monthly monitoring under Tier Three,DWQ's
release letter remains in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit,unless the release
letter provides for other conditions or duration.

SECTION ❑: STORMWATER DISCHARGES:QUALITATIVE MONITORING
REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan(SPPP)and assess new sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative monitoring of
stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event.
Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of
representative outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annua[[y as specified
in Table 6,and during required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to
perform further qualitative sampling per the Qualitative Monitoring Response,below). Inability
to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on
the DMR(see Adverse Weather in Definitions).Only SDOs discharging storinwater associated with
industrial activity must be inonitored (See Definitions).
In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall,the permittee shall
document the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery.
This documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

(SDO)regardless of representative outfall status.
A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been
instituted as part of o ther an alytical monitoring requirements in this permit.
If the permittee's qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater BMPs are ineffective,or that
significant stormwater contamination is present,the permittee shall investigate potential causes,evaluate
the feasibility of corrective actions,and implement those corrective actions within 60 days,per the
Qualitative Monitoring Response,below. A written record of the pertnittee's investigation,evaluation,
and response actions shall be kept in the Storznwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, assessing new sources
of storznwater pollution, and prompting the permittee's response to pollution. If the permittee
repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring,or if
the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, ❑WQ may but is not
limited to:
require that the permittee revise,increase,or decrease monitoring frequency For some or
all parameters [analytical or qualitative];
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
require the permittee to implement other storznwater control measures;
