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 rarolina becau to
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, andlar runoff.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DEMLR 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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 seated, provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak. "Seated" 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
storm titer 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 AIPDES permitting is available on a facility -wide basis only —not for individual
outtalls. 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).
If approved, your conditional No Exposure Exclusion has no expiration date
BUT MUST BE self re -certified at least annually.
Please look for information about re -certification under the No Exposure section on this page:

Re: Request for NPDES Stormwater No Exposure General Permit
Yanjan USA LLC
158 Walker Road
Statesville, North Carolina 28625
CPEES Project No. 1185-001
Dear Ms. Jones:
On behalf of Yanjan USA, Inc., located at 158 Walker Road, Statesville, Iredell County, North
Carolina, CP Engineering and Environmental Solutions (CPEES) is pleased to submit the
attached NCGNE0000 request to the State for a NPDES Stormwater General Permit - No
Exposure for the subject facility operations. The facility conducts their operation under the SIC
code 2297 (NAICS = 31323) — "Nonwoven Fabric Mills". Therefore, the applicable NPDES
Stormwater General Permit for this SIC code is NCG 170000. However, Yanjan USA, Inc. is
very diligent in controlling the exposure of facility oil/chemical storage drums/totes and
loading/unloading operations to Stormwater. Thus, Yanjan USA, Inc., had requested CPEES to
review the facility operations and assess the NPDES Stormwater General Permit Exemption
criteria and No Exposure Certification.
SITE REVIEW
On March 20, 2018, CPEES had conducted a site review for the facility operations exposed to
stormwater. During the facility review, the following areas were reviewed for the stormwater
exposure:
• Oil and Chemical storage areas/tanks out side the plant building;
• Materials storage outside the plant operations;
• Secondary containment structures;
• Loading and unloading docks;
• Roof discharges;
• Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented at the site;
• General site erosion and sediment transport; and
• Potential spills/leaks from the building.

Chalam Pakala Engineering and Environmental Solutions
10017 Allyson Park Dr., Charlotte, NC 28277 Tel [phone], Fax: [phone]
FINDINGS
Based on the site review, CPEES believes Yanjan USA, Inc., had implemented several BMPs
controls to mitigate the exposure of oil/chemical storage areas, transfer practices and general
operations from stormwater. Some of our observations include:
• Minimal amounts of oils and chemicals in 55 gal drums are received at the site and they
are being handled either manually or with a hand trolleys for keeping them inside the
plant building. These drums are always inside the building on a secondary containment
pal let;
• No aboveground storage tanks (AST) are present at the site;
• All empty drums are kept inside the building;
• No underground storage tanks were observed at the site;
• A trash dumpster with a lid was observed at the facility;
• No to minimal soil erosion was observed at the facility, and
• The overall facility yard appeared to be well maintained with no materials exposed to
stormwater.
NO EXPOSURE APPLICATION
CPEES has completed the State NCGNE0000 "No Exposure" application package to meet the
State requirements. The package includes the application, a Ste Location Map (Figure 1), an
Aerial View Map (Figure 2) and a Site Layout Map.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our site review and findings, CPEES believes that the subject facility should be
exempted from the NPDES Stormwater General Permit at the present time.
However, should the facility decides to change the operations in the future and thus, potentially
impact the stormwater, then the facility should apply for the NPDES Stormwater Permit at that
time to meet the NC DEQ Division of Energy, Mineral and land Resources -Land Quality Section
Requirements.
CLOSING
It is my pleasure to complete this important project for Yanjan USA, Inc., and please call me at
704-541-4042 should you have any questions on this permit exemption request.
