this process. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility
the Division is granting your certification as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(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 a no-

RE: No Exposure Certification for Kinro Inc. facility located in Liberty, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Bennett.
Kinro Inc. is a manufacturer of aluminum and vinyl windows (regular and storm) with
production facilities throughout the United States. Kinro Inc. has a window manufacturing
facility located at 6889 Kinro Road in Liberty, with an SIC classification of 3442 (metal
doors, sash, frames, moldin g an trim). The Kinro Inc. site consists of approximately 7 acres of
land with one metal frame building of approximately 47,000 square-feet located on the site. A
portion of the 7-acre site consists of undeveloped land (grass and woodland). The facility has
been in operation since 1973 and has had no type of storm water permit coverage in the past.
All production operations at the Liberty, North Carolina facility are conducted indoors, therefore,
no production operations or equipment are exposed to storm water. Loading and unloading of
raw materials (vinyl, aluminum, glass) as well as final products (regular and storm windows) are
conducted at the facility's loading docks. The loading docks allow covered delivery and
transport trailers to back directly up to the building, therefore, protecting transfer operations
from storm water contact.. The facility recycles scrap vinyl, aluminum, glass and cardboard that
is left over from the production process. The recyclable materials are stored in covered roil-off
dumpsters, outdoors of the facility on a concrete surface. Due to the dumpsters being covered,
storm water contact with the recyclable materials is prevented.
The Kinro Inc. facility located at 6889 Kinro Road in Liberty, North Carolina has no process
materials or industrial activities exposed to storm water. Being that a state of no exposure
exists at the Liberty, North Carolina facility, Kinro Inc. feels that the facility qualifies for a
Category 11 exemption. Kinro Inc. followed the Environmental Protection Agency's NPDES No
Exposure Certification Form 3510-11 as well as guidance obtained from telephone conversations
with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources in determining if a
state of no exposure exists at the Liberty, North Carolina facility.

Kinro Inc. is dedicated to ensuring that a state of no exposure exists at the Liberty, North
Carolina facility. If granted a Category 11 exemption by the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Kinro will strive to maintain a state of no exposure at the
facility. However, it is Kinro Inc.'s understanding that if the facility is unable to maintain a
condition of no exposure, the facility will be required to obtain coverage under the NCG030000
General Storm Water Permit.
Kinro Inc. appreciates the opportunity to work with the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources to help protect the state's waters by obtaining a Category
11 exemption for the Liberty, North Carolina facility. If you have any questions or comments
please feel free to contact either of the undersigned.
Sincerely,
Bill McMillen are Burgess
