Dear Mr. Hobbins:
E
Request for No Exposure Renewal
Following an inspection of the Vehicle Maintenance facility by Mr. Myrl Nisely on July 7, 2009, the
Division of Water Quality has determined that the No Exposure permit was issued in error and will be
rescinded for the following factors:
• The potential for fuel releases from the refueling station and from the refilling of Underground
Storage Tanks. These activities on the site eliminate the possibility of a declaration of No
Exposure.
• EPA guidelines for Vehicle Maintenance facilities state that vehicles parked outside waiting for
service constitute an industrial activity that requires a stormwater permit.
Continuation of NCG080365, Representative Outfall Status Granted
Accordingly, your facility continues to be covered by stormwater permit NCG080365. An inspection
carried out for this program showed compliance. From knowledge gained about the watersheds being
served by each of the two outfalls, the possibility of Representative Outfall Status was discussed during
the site visit. On July 28, 2009 the Raleigh Regional Office received your written request for
representative outfall status.
By copy of this letter Representative Outfall Status is granted in which Outfall No. l will be sampled for
the quantitative parameters under the Vehicle Maintenance section of the permit, but Outfall No. 2 will
no longer be sampled for the same analytes. However, both outfalls are to still be observed for
Qualitative Monitoring twice yearly, per the permit.
As noted on the request form, if changes occur to the facility or its operations that impact this status, the
facility must notify DWQ of the changes in writing.

Inspection Summary:
Purpose of visit was to see if the facility could qualify for No Exposure Stormwater permit. The presence of a fueling station for
vehicles and the refilling of UST supply tanks preclude the renewal of this permit. Further, EPA guidelines state that parked vehicles
waiting for maintenance constitue a potential threat to stormwater quality, and that a stormwater permit is required under these
circumstances. Therefore, this NE.permit will be rescinded.
The permittee also hoids permit NCG080365, and has been carrying out all the requirements. Under that permit, representative outfall
status will be granted.

Inspection Date: 07/07/2009 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
This permit is currently the one being followed, even though a No Exposure was issued in 2005. The NCGNE0202 permit
is up for renewal, which brought to the attention of DWQ that the facility does not need both. Following this inspection, a
decision has been made that No Exposure is inappropriate because of the refueling that takes place, as well as refilling
UST supply tanks. Therefore, the NE permit will be rescinded.
The facility qualifies for Representative Qutfali Status, using outfall No. 1 as the one to be sampled. Absent a petroleum
release, there is no difference in stormwater quality at the two outfalls.

Comment: Representative outfall status would be appropriate for this site, with
sampling of Outfall 1. Outfall 2 will have identical water quality to Outfall1 unless
petroleum spill occurs, which would be seen in Outfall 1.

Dear Permittee:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on August 13, 2002. We apologize for the extended period it
has taken us to get back to you on this request and we appreciate your patience as we have worked through
this process. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility
the Division is granting your certification as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g) which is incorporated by
reference in North Carolina regulations.
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 NPDES permit coverage for your Stormwater
discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. Your
conditional no -exposure exclusion expires in five years (April 30, 2010). At that time you must re -certify with
the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your certification of no exposure 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 Jonathan Diggs at [phone] ext.
537, or at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

FORM �`�/® ANTRW: ATER OII !3510-11 HURNQ,iEI SUR CERTIFICATION for Exclusion from
S Storm Water Permitting
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity identified in Section A does not require permit authorization for its storm water
discharges associated with industrial activity in the Slate identified in Section 8 under EPA's Storm Water Muld-Sector General Permit due to the existence
of a condition of no exposure.
A condition of no exposure exists at an industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent
exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff. 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 ilia storage,
loading and unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. A storm resistant Sheller is
not required for the following industrial materials and activities:
— drums, barrels, tanks, and similar containers that are lightly sealed, provided those containers are not deteriorated and do not leak, "Sealed"
means banded or otherwise secured and without operatiunal taps or valves;
— adequately maintained vehicles used in material handling; and
— final products, other than products that would be mobilized in storm water discharges (e.g., rock sall).
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 fur 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, the entity in Section A is certifying that a condilion of no exposure exists at its facility or site,
and is obligated to comply with the terms and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g).
ALL INFORMATION MUST BE PROVIDED ON THIS FORM.
Detailed Instructions for completing this form and obtaining the no exposure excluslon are provided on pages 3 and 4.
