Dear Mr. Merritt:
The Division 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, the Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under
40 CFR 122,25(g), which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations. We are also hereby
rescinding your current permit Certificate of Coverage, NCG180041.
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-exposure exclusion, you are obligated to immediately obtain N:TDES permit coverage for your stormwater
discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. You
must self re-certify 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.

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION AUG 2 3 2011
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwat&'Permltrbased
on NO EXPOSURE: KCgtbnal Ott to
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your facility does not require a
permit for storm water 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, DWQ 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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 DWQ Regional Office for your area. (Seepage 6)

received from Corey Basinger states there is no vehicle maintenance performed on site, so quantitative monitoring is not
required for this permit. Just need clarification on this because we do perform vehicle maintenance on site, the shop is

Dear Mr. Merritt:
Compliance Evaluation Inspections were performed at Lexington Home Brands in Lexington, North
Carolina on July 28, 2011 by Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. You and Ms. Tina
Darnell were present for the inspections. The purpose of the inspections was to review compliance with
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Wastewater and General
Stormwater Permits. The following are the findings from the subject inspections:
A request for rescission of the permit NCG180038 (plant 41), dated June 27, 2001 was submitted, after
the last inspection revealed there to be no industrial activities taking place that require permitting. It is
used for warehousing. No response was ever received, and the facility continued to pay the annual permit
fee. Resubmit your request at your earliest convenience, or in response to the next billing notice.
