Dear Mr. McPherson:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No-Exposure Certification form for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, the site
visit of May 17, 2011, and any other documentation (i.e. photos of covers on dumpsters or drum storage, etc.) 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. We are also hereby rescinding your current permit Certificate
of Coverage, NCG170413.
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 No-Exposure
exclusion, 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 your No-Exposure status annually using the included form or obtain NPDES permit
coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility. The annual self re-certification does not need to be
submitted to DWQ unless requested.
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.

Hello all.
Per your request to evaluate the rescission of NCGNE0658, received in the MRO on May 21, 2014, 1 inspected the facility
on June 4, 2014. The inspection report is attached. The company performed an internal audit and determined they
were no longer eligible for the no-exposure permit. NCG170413 was never made inactive in BIMS, and they have paid
their yearly fees. See Bethany's email below (many thanks for the technical assistance, Bethany(D). I advised Mr. White
to submit a renewal request for NCG170413 on-line. At this time I recommend rescission of NCGNE0658 and
reinstatement of NCG170413, with corresponding update to BIMS to reflect this action.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know, and I hope you have a good day,

Subject: Rescission Request for NCGNE0658 and reinstating NCG170413
Hi Tamera,
Thanks for calling about this one. It sounds like you have a request to rescind NCGNE0658 that originally came from
Sheri, and you are looking for the next step. Here's the best course of action I think:
1) Rescission of NCGNE0658 is appropriate, according to your inspection. Please communicate to Bradley MRO's
approval of that action.
2) NCG170413 was never actually rescinded in BIMS—even though on paper it was(the May 23, 2011 No Exposure
issuance letter stated NCG170413 COC was thereby rescinded). The company has also continued to pay the
annual fee for their NCG17 coverage.
3) Administratively, we will simply renew NCG170413 this summer, along with the mass renewal.
. 1

4) However, the No Exposure Rescission Approval Letter should indicate that we are reinstating the facility's
coverage under NCG170413. Let them know that permit is up for renewal this year, and they'll get more
information about electronic COC renewal this summer. I cannot remember if Central Office or the RO sends
that letter. Bradley?
5) In preparation for renewal, we could use the help getting permit contacts up to date. Go to this
website: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/sw-permit-contacts and review the report for NCG170413. If you
have all the information to get those up to date (including e-mail addresses, especially for permit contact),
Tamera, could you make those in BIMS? Let us know if there's an issue with Owner Affiliation—we will probably
need the Name/Ownership change form from the company for that change.
6) Once those changes in BIMS have been made, let me know. I will fill out the renewal questionnaire for this one'
so it's included in the renewal batch. Again, it's very important that we have a current permit contact (with e-
mail address) and owner contact(with e-mail address) for the most efficient renewal communication.
I've copied Sheri, but she has moved on into a permanent position with Karen Higgins's group in DWR (but it's just down
the hall). We're hoping to get more admin help for our group soon.
Tamera,
I hope that helps guide you from here on this one. Let me know if I can help more.
Thanks,
Bg
