Dear Mr. Shaver:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the application for No Exposure Certification requesting exclusion from
NPDES stormwater permitting for the IQE North Carolina facility located at 494 Gallimore Dairy Road in Greensboro, NC.
Based on your submittal of a signed certification of no exposure and on recommendation by Mike Mickey of the Division of
Water Resources, the Division is granting conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR 122.26(g),
which is incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations.
Please note that by our acceptance of your No Exposure Certification, IQE North Carolina is obligated to maintain no
exposure conditions at this facility. If conditions change such that the facility no longer qualifies for no exposure exclusion,
you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharge. Otherwise, the discharge
becomes subject to enforcement as unpermitted discharge.
IQE North Carolina must recertify the no exposure status annually using the included form. Any"yes" answer would
require that you obtain NPDES permit coverage for stormwater discharge from the facility. The annual self-
recertification form does not need to be submitted to DEMLR, unless requested. Please note that this 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.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Aana Taylor-Smith or me at(336) 771-5000.
Sincerely,
Matthew E. Gantt, PE

Gee whiz. That's confusing. Glad you folks have to keep up with all that. O
Actually, that explains something sorta. 1 had more RF Micros listed than Mike did, and one of them had that 0224
number. I think that was the one that we could explain, so that was probably why.
Anyhoo, got it. IQE North Carolina, NCGNE0962. What's the address?

Hey Debbie,
This is a very confusing case from Mike Mickey. IQE North Carolina was previously covered under a No Exposure
Certification (NCGNE0224)that was owned by RF Micro. When they tried to change their ownership to IQE North
Carolina in July,that certification was mistakenly voided. So in August, Mike Mickey asked IQE to submit a new No
Exposure application to reinstate the certification under the new name in lieu of completing a change in ownership
i

form.Then,of course, it was lost in the transition until I found it this morning. Basically,this facility already exists, and
you may already have it in your files, but they have a new No Exposure Certification number(NCGNE0962).
The contact for IQE North Carolina is Darryl Shaver, [phone], [e-mail].
Sorry for the confusion... let me know if you have any questions O
Thanks!

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION Winston-Salem
Re ional Office
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permifbased
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)

Darryl - Apparently the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing over here. RF Micro should not have been
able to void a no-exposure that wasn't in their name. Sorry for that. The easiest remedy is for IQE to just submit a no-
exposure application as you suggested. That way a new permit number will be created that has no connection with RF
Micro.
Attached is the no-exposure application that you will send to our Raleigh office. Please also email me a copy and I will
issue it immediately.
Thanks for your patience. Let me know if you have any questions. Mike.

Corey,
IQE North Carolina had requested a name/ownership change for coverage under RF Micro Devices' existing No Exposure
Exclusion at 494 Gallimore Dairy Road, Greensboro. Below is the thread of emails regarding the form and information
submitted in 2012. Subsequently, RF Micro Devices requested that the number be rescinded, which has been granted as
of July 24, 2013 per the attached letter to RF Micro Devices from NCDENR.
Should we consider the attached change form void now and instead submit a new application for coverage under the No
Exposure Exclusion? If so, please let me know and I will get that to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your help, and i hope you have a good weekend.

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater 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. "Seared"means
banded or otherwise secured and with locked canon-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 TWO Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)
