RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED July 24, 2006 Mr. Ray Jenkins Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Piedmont Regional Office 4949-A Cox Road Glen Allen, VA 23060-6295 Re:
Surry Power Station - VPDES Permit No. VA0004090 - Storm Water Exclusion Certification
Dear Mr. Jenkins:
Enclosed is a No Exposure Certification for storm water discharges at the Surry Power Station.
This certification covers storm water discharges that are not already covered by the station's current VPDES permit and are not specifically recognized in Dominion's application for permit reissuance, which was submitted to the DEQ's Piedmont Regional Office on April 25, 2006. A similar certification was submitted on July 24, 2001 prior to issuance of the current VPDES permit (effective date November 2, 2001).
Storm water associated with industrial activity at the Surry Power Station is captured via various storm drains and subsequently combines with process wastewater discharges, which are permitted by the above referenced permit.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the enclosed information, please contact Rick Woolard of Dominion Electric Environmental Services & Projects, at (804) 273-2991.
- inerely, Pamela F. Faggert Attachment C coI

VIRGINIA DEQ NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION FOR EXCLUSION FROM VPDES STORM WATER PERMITTING Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity identified below does not require permit authorization for its storm water discharges associated with industrial activity under the VPDES Permit Program 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 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 without operational 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 salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facilityqifalifying for the No Exposureexclusion. In addition, the exclusion from VPDES 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, the entity below is certifying that a condition of No Exposure exists at its facility or site, and is obligated to comply with the terms and conditions at 9 VAC 25-31-120 E (the VPDES Permit Regulation).

Instructions for the NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION For Exclusion from VPDES Storm Water Permitting Who May File a No Exposure Certification In accordance with the Clean Water Act and the State Water Control Law, all industrial facilities that discharge storm water associated with industrial activity (as defined at 9 VAC 25-31-10) must apply for coverage under a VPDES permit.
However, permit coverage is not required for industrial activity storm water discharges from a facility if the discharger can certify that a condition of "no exposure" exists at the facility or site.
Obtaining and Maintaining the No Exposure Exclusion This form is used to certify that a condition of no exposure exists at the industrial facility or site described herein. This certification must be resubmitted at least once every five years.
The industrial facility owner must maintain a condition of no exposure at the facility or site in order for the no exposure exclusion to remain applicable. If conditions change resulting in the exposure of materials and/or activities to storm water, the facility owner must immediately obtain coverage under a VPDES storm water permit.
Completing The Form Please type or print all Information. ALL INFORMATION ON THE FORM MUST BE PROVIDED.
One form must be completed for each facility or site for which you are seeking to certify a condition of no exposure.
Section I Facility Owner Information Give the legal name (no nicknames or colloquial names) of the person, firm, public organization, or any other entity that owns the facility or site described in this certification. The name of the owner may or may not be the same as the name of the facility. The owner is the legal entity that controls the facility's operation, rather than the plant or site manager.
Enter the complete address and telephone number of the owner.
Section 2 Facility Location Information Enter the facility's official or legal name and complete street address.
If the facility lacks a street address, enter the latitude and longitude of the approximate center of the facility in degrees/minutes/seconds to the nearest 15 seconds.
Section 3 Previous VPDES Permit Coverage Indicate whether the facility was previously covered under a VPDES storm water permit. If so, include the permit number.
Section 4 Standard Industrial Classification Codes Enter the 4-digit SIC code which identifies the facility's primary activity, and second 4-digit SIC code identifying the facility's secondary activity, if applicable. SIC codes can be obtained from the Office of Management and Budget Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987.
Section 5 Facility Industrial Activity Area Enter the total size of the site associated with industrial activity in acres.
Section 6 Formerly Exposed Pervious Area Indicate whether you have paved or roofed over a formerly exposed, pervious area (i.e., lawn, meadow, dirt or gravel road/parking lot) in order to qualify for no exposure. If "yes',
also indicate approximately how much area was paved or roofed over and is now impervious area.
Section 7 Exposure Checklist Check "Yes" or "No" as appropriate to describe the exposure conditions at your facility. If you answer "Yes" to ANY of the questions (1) through (11) in this section, a potential for exposure exists at your site and you cannot certify to a condition of no exposure. You must obtain (or already have) coverage under a VPDES storm water permit.
After obtaining permit coverage, you can institute modifications to eliminate the potential for a discharge of storm water exposed to industrial activity, and then certify to a condition of no exposure.
Section 8 Certification State statutes provide for severe penalties for submitting false information on this application form. State regulations require this No Exposure Certification to be signed as follows:
For a corporation: by a responsible corporate officer, which means: (i) president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy or decision making functions for the corporation, or (ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures; For a partnership or sole proprietorship: by a general partner or the proprietor, or For a municipality, State, Federal, or other public facility: by either a principal executive or ranking elected official.
