NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION
Wigstrn-Si,p-*
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from-aPStormwater Permit 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, and/or runoff.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DWO 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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).
You are required to self re-certify your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions, please contact the DWO Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

Ms. 3ennifer Carter,
We now have most of the secondary containment work completed-in building 111. The contractor
may be completing all of the 5M&E plans this week.
However, we are concerned that the time of estimated completion is coming too close to the
original deadline. Could we please get just one month of extension as a safeguard? We
probably will be scheduling a follow-up inspection near the original deadline date if all
goes as planned.
Please let me know the procedure for an extension. Is there an application or do you need a
written letter from us?
Thanks,
Tavis

S&ME Project No. 1584-10-060
Dear Mr. Bowman:
S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) has completed the containment drawings to provide secondary
containment for stored liquids at Building 1 l I at I IS Todd Court. Our services were
authorized by Mr. Tavis Bowman and were completed in general accordance with S&ME
proposal 1584-10-P 154a. A summary of background information and our comments
regarding the secondary containment system are provided below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Project information was developed frorn a meeting at the subject property between Mr.
Tavis Bowman with Flint Trading and our Wayne Watterson on October 1, 2010, a
follow-up email from Mr. Bowman to Mr. Watterson on October 1, 2010, and a
telephone conversation between Mr. Watterson and Ms. Jenifer Carter of the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) on October 8,
2010. Flint Trading, Inc. is pursuing'No Exposta-e Certification with respect to North
Carolina stormwater regulations.
Ina letter from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) to Flint Trading, Inc. dated August 18, 2010; Ms. Jenifer Carter with
NCDENR outlined her observations of the facility after her site visit on August 5, 2010.
Ms. Carter identified three problem areas at the site, which are listed below, in her
August 18, 2010, letter.

Flint Trading, Inc. requested that S&ME provide a secondary containment system design
to prevent liquids currently stored inside the building and in the sandblasting area and
adjoining outside storage area from corningling with stormwater.
The containment system outlined herein provides one method of containment for the
stored liquids at the facility. Other Best Management Practices, such as modification of
liquid storage practices, may also be applicable to address the problem areas identified by
Ms. Carter in her August 18, 2010 letter.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS
S&ME mobilized to the site on November 22, 2010, to photograph areas in and around
Building I I I
S&ME also measured the relative height of the concrete floor inside Building I I I at 19
random locations. The floor readings were performed to provide general information
regarding relative floor elevations. Based on the collected measurements, the concrete
floor varies in elevation by no more than 0.09 feet at the measured locations.
S&ME observed a concrete "lip" around the metal building in the batch]ng/mi x ling/raw
material storage area (see Figure 1), The lip is approximately 1 3/4 inches in height.
Exterior doors and roll-tip doors are located throughout the building.
No floor drains were observed in Building I 11.
Several drums and totes for various liquids are stored inside Building I I I for use in the
manufacturing processes. S&ME did not observe any liquid storage containers with a
capacity greater than 500 gallons on the inside of the building..
A concrete floor is located In the sandblasting area and the adjoining storage area on the
north end of the building. The sandblasting area is covered. No drains were observed in
the concrete floor in these areas. Drums and totes for various liquids were observed in
this area on the exterior of the bUilding. S&ME did not observe any liquid storage
containers with a capacity greater than 500 gallons in this area outside the building.
CONTAINMENT
To calculate a potential storage volume.. S&ME calculated the combined square footage in
the extrusion and batchingh-nixing/raw material storage areas inside Building 111, minus
2

. r
Containment For Building 111 SWE Project No. 1584-10-060
115 Todd Court Thomasville NC December.7 2010
office and bathroom spaces. The combined square footage was calculated to be
approximately 28,780 square feet. Assuming a 1-inch high containment wall for this area,
the calculated storage volume is approximately 17, 930 gallons. Based on the liquid storage
units observed on November 22,2010,this storage volume is more than adequate to contain
a spill of the largest container(<500 gallons). Containment structure heights that are
included in the design are greater than I inch. The concrete block wall to be installed in the
extrusion room will be at least 2 inches in height. The concrete lip around the exterior wall
in the mixing/batching/raw material storage room is approximately 1 114 inches in height.
The ramp design shown on Figures 1 and 2 includes a ramp height of 1.5 inches. The office
walls abutting the extrusion•room are used as containment walls for system.
The storage area north of Building 111 and east of the sandblasting area, as shown on Figure
1, is approximately 18 feet by 72 feet. Assuming a 1-inch high containment wall for this
area, the calculated storage volume is approximately 805 gallons. Based on the liquid
storage units observed on November 22, 2010, this storage volume is more than adequate to
contain a spill of the largest.container(<500 gallons). Containment structure heights that are
included in the design are greater than 1 inch. The concrete block wall to be installed
.around the outside storage area will consist of 8-inch high concrete block with a t-inch cap
on top of the block. The ramp design shown on Figure 1 included at the east end of this area
has a ramp height of 1.5 inches.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The secondary containment design provided for Building 111 has sufficient capacity to
reduce the potential for spills that may occur inside Building I I 1 to exit the building. The
secondary containment design for the sandblasting area and storage area north of Building
1 l l is adequate to contain a spill of the existing stored liquids in these areas.
Other Best Management Practices should also be implemented to reduce the potential for
stormwater to comingle with spilled liquids and sand. Housekeeping practices should be
modified so that sand or liquids that spill on the floor of the sandblasting area and in other
areas in and around Building 1 I 1 is removed as soon as practical, and is not tracked or
deposited outside of the containment areas.
LIMITATIONS
• The concrete ramp reinforcement design is preliminary. S&ME requested, but
did not receive, weight information for the tow motors that will be using these-
ramps. Flint Trading should consider the weight, carrying loads, average number
of tow motor trips per day, and other relevant information for the design life of
the ramps. Also, subsurface conditions in the areas of the proposed ramps are
assumed to be adequate for the anticipated traffic.
• S&ME did not consider OSHA or other state or local codes that could related to the
placement of the containment systems within the building.
• No consideration was given to the affects of ponded water inside the building,
including electrical components and systems, and interior office spaces. The
provided design does not isolate the interior office spaces adjacent to the
extrusion area.
3

Containment for Building 111 S&ME Project No. 1584-10-060
115 Todd Court Thomasville NC December 7 2010
• One or more drain valves through the containment wall should be included in the
exterior containment area north of the building to release rainwater that may
accumulate in this area. A Best Management Practice to observe the condition of
the contained rainwater prior to release should be implemented to prevent spilled
liquids or sand from exiting-the containment stnicture.
CLOSURE
S&ME appreciates the opportunity to assist Flint Trading, Inc. with this project. Please
contact us if you have any questions or if we may be of any further service to you.

Subject: Permit NCGO50000 Application Inspection
Flint Trading .Inc.
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Bowman:
Based on your recent application for coverage under the general NPDES Stormwater permit NCG050000,
an inspection was performed at Flint Trading in Thomasville, North Carolina on August 5, 2010 by
Ienifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. You and Mr. Brett Higgins of Pyramid
Environmental & Engineering were present for the inspection. The purpose of the inspections was to
determine whether or not general permit coverage is applicable, or whether an individual permit would be
more appropriate. The following are the findings from the subject inspection:
• According to the site map provided with the application, there are three (3) stormwater outfalls.
During the inspection, it was noted that outfall 01 drains to outfall 02, so there are really only two (2)
true outfalls (labeled 'outfall 02' and 'outfall 03' on the map).
• Testing areas where finished product is applied to the ground are not of concern, as the product is
heat-applied. In addition, product is not tested when rain is forecasted, as any test would be rendered
invalid.
• There were several problems noted relating to lack of secondary containment both inside and out that,
if corrected, would enable the facility to apply for No Exposure Certification. If not corrected, an
individual pen-nit would be most appropriate for this facility, as opposed to the general permit that was
applied for. The problems noted:
o The sand blasting area is covered but sand has; over time, 'accumulated outside in a fenced-in
area labeled 'empty drum storage' on the map. 55-gallon drums are brought in by forklift and
stored inside near a door leading to this same outdoor area. There is nothing to keep sand or any
potential spill from comingling with stormwater.
o There are other 55-gallon drums in various indoor locations. While there are no floor drains,
some are near enough to doorways with no curbing and could be exposed to stormwater if a spill
were to occur.
o A batching machine (CaCO3) was malfunctioning during the inspection and discharging across
the floor and out the door to outfall #2.
In order to avoid having to submit an individual stormwater permit application, you must do the following
by February 20, 2011:

• Provide curbing or other type of secondary containment around the fenced-in area to capture sand
from the sand blasting operations, as well as any spills to the same area.
• Provide secondary containment for all full or partially full 55-gallon drums, inside or outside in order
to eliminate exposure to stormwater in the event of a spill.
• Provide secondary containment around the batching machine that was malfunctioning during the
inspection to prevent any future discharges from flowing to stormwater outfalls.
• Upon completion of the above items, contact this office in writing at the letterhead address so staff can
perform a follow-up inspection to verify the effectiveness of any newly installed measures. Please
copy the Stormwater Permitting Unit (Division of Water Quality; 1617 Mail Service Center; Raleigh,
NC 27699-1617) on all written correspondence. 1f these measures are deemed sufficient for
correcting the problems noted during the inspection, an application for No Exposure Certification can
be submitted at that time, along with a request to rescind your original permit application.
If the above measures are not taken by the deadline given, an application for an individual stormwater
permit must be submitted immediately. Please note that unpermitted discharges to surface waters are
illegal and subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to S25,000.00 per day, per violation.
The Division greatly appreciates your taking the initiative to apply for a stormwater permit. Should you
have any questions, please contact Jenifer Carter at [phone].

Hey Jenifer,
talked to Bradley and Bethany about this. They agreed what you proposed sounds like a good idea.
Can you send Flint Trading a letter detailing what you said below and asking them to provide proof within a 6 month
period that they have made these secondary containment changes and applied for no exposure? If they can send the
No Exposure Application to me then I will forward it to you and I can deny/rescind the NCG05 application. I suggest we
say that they need to do it within six months or we will send back their NCG05 NOI and require them to proceed with
obtaining an individual permit. What do you think about that?
If you'd like me to write the letter I can—don't mean to put it off on you. Also—if you want I can put the add info in
BIMs—just let me know.
Anyway sounds like a good idea—just let me know if you'd like me to send the letter or if you will.
Thank you!

Subject: RE: Flint Trading, Inc.
As per our phone call, I do not see the test strip areas as being a risk whatsoever, as they are heat-applied. Once heated,
the application dries quickly on the ground. Since it would not be in their interest to heat the product with rain in the
forecast, 1 see zero risk to surface waters.
That being said they do have three secondary containment issues.
1.) There are several 55-gallon drums inside. While there are no floor drains, some are near a doorway. They
already have plans to build a new covered storage area with secondary containment that would house a lot of
these drums. Others would drain to an area outdoors that can be addressed along with the next issue below:
2.) A sand-blasting area is covered but sand, over the years, has made its way outside to a fenced area (labeled
'empty drum storage' on the map they submitted), where it has accumulated. I was told that they would be
willing and able to curb the entire area so that stormwater could not carry the sand to surface waters (which I
did not see any evidence of during the visit). 55-gallon drums near a door leading to this same area would be
served by the same secondary containment.
3.) An indoor batching (CaCO3—MSDS attached) machine was malfunctioning during the visit and discharging
across the floor and out the door to outfall#2. They said they can install secondary containment around the
z

machine and capture as needed. They had recently installed similar containment around another piece of
equipment, so the capability and know-how is evident.
If these items are addressed as specified above, I believe exposure will be eliminated, thus eliminating the need for any
permit. All of these areas drain to outfall#2.
Outfall#1 on the map actually drains to outfall#2. This means there are really only 2 outfalls (#2 and #3 on the map).
Outfall #3 drains an area with just roof drains, some parking and a couple of test strip areas.
It is opinion that the representatives present during the inspection appeared eager to make the corrections noted
above, so why not give them a deadline (6 months)to make the changes and then re-evaluate? It wouldn't make sense
to issue a permit if they're going to make these changes, after which time they will qualify for No Exposure/permit
rescission.

Hey Jenifer,
That sounds good. It sounds like you are right on the money about the markings. Had a question - if they had a berm,
it sounds like a good idea but where do you mean it would direct the flow? Toward another vegetated area? Just trying
to get a better idea of what you mean. Good point. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of secondary-type
containment, with a valve that can be closed during testing, in case of a spill or unexpected rain, allowing them the
chance to capture and remove any contaminates. Once it is dry,they could leave the valve open.
That sounds like a good idea.
Also when l spoke to Brett Higgins on the phone he said that there was an outfall between the "converting" and
"packaging" part of the larger building—he said there is a kind of ramp there by that "896" topo number where they test
the materials and stick them to the concrete ramp. He said that might also be an outfall. I'll be sure to check it out.
Ok thanks. Oh and he said that he had 4 outfalls not S. I'll forward you that email.
The only other concerns were that when I talked to the on-site plant guy (Tavis Bowman) he said that sometimes they
move pigments and raw materials from on building to another by fork lift. I talked to the Brett and he said he didn't
know about that but they might be storing those in the other larger building due to space. My concern there is about
spilling or tracking materials around the site.To me, this is no different than loading/unloading risks at every grocery
stores, pharmacy, pet stores, etc... not something I consider a priority. I don't feel the need to nit-pick them to death,
but it would be smart to make sure they have a plan of action should they puncture something with a forklift or
whatever. I'll be sure to mention it.
Ok—I've heard other regions talk about tracking and their concerns with forklifts etc and loading/unloading areas. I
guess it depends on how much it is (if any)which you'll be able thoee- so whatever seems reasonable to you sounds
good.
Sorry I�didn't talk to you about this yesterday—I have started working 30 hour weeks temporarily for a few months and l
am not working on Mondays so I didn't get these emails until today. My husband and I were sick off work for 12 weeks
last year in July and have been slowly recovering all year from it--its been pretty insane. So I've been having some
memory problems so if l was a bit spacey yesterday in the meeting I apologize?
So anyway—sounds good and thanks for going there and taking care of this! I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Jennifer,
The only risk I see, based on the info provided, is the application of the product before it dries. I don't think they'd want
to apply before a rain event when testing their products, and once they are dry, then it is 'intended for outdoor use',
thereby not requiring monitoring. They have actually tested their products on the pavement at one of the Wastewater
Treatment Plants.., it is literally markings on the pavement like you see on every road and runway. That being said, it
might be worth asking them to provide some sort of berm around outfall 1's test area, as it is the only outfall not served
by a vegetative buffer.
Of course, I will be looking at their storage of the chemicals they use, etc., so I will withhold overall judgment until after
my inspection. I just wanted to see if your take on the testing areas was the same as mine.
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi Brett,
Thank you for sending this.
As we talked about on the phone, after you have the inspection with Jenifer, she and I will talk about whether or not
analytical testing is necessary and appropriate, what type of permit you might fail into (and if we can make that
determination without the testing) and if it's necessary that you provide us(me and Jenifer) with the larger scale plans
with buildings, topo lines and outfalls marked on them.
Also—there was one update I'd like you to make. You mentioned on the phone that there might be as many as 5
outfalls. Here there are only 3 listed. Can you address that with Jenifer in her site visit? Also in part IV. A. there are only
impervious surface drainage areas of outfalls 1 & 2. Please add outfali 3.
After we've decided that I'll give you a call back and let you know what if the permittee should send and sign as it as is
or with the monitoring or other modifications.
Thank you,

couple of days notice. She suggested that when you send us those forms and the site plans then she can schedule the
site visit with Tavis after that and she will let you know.
I've copied Jenifer here so you have her email.
If you have any other questions or concerns please let us know.
Thanks,
Jennifer Jones

Hi Jenifer,
I have an application for a general permit NCG05 from Flint Trading, Inc. In Thomasville, NC. We have some plastics
forming places under NCG05 but this is SIC code 2821—which normally is under an individual permit. They make plastic
pavement and parking markings (those yellow and blue reflectors). They buy resins and mix them and form the plastic
pieces. They have pigments but they say they are stored inside but they may transport them from building to building
on fork lift. They say they don't have any materials stored outside.
I asked them to submit a form land 2F to see what they have. I also told them I'd like you all in the RO to go visit to
give us a determination of whether or not you think it's a general or individual permit. Would you please do that- I'd
like some eyes and ears to go there to verify.
I don't have the 2F form yet but when I get it I will send it on. I've also asked for an extra copy of a site map and will send
it to you when I get it.
Thanks,
Jen
