Minnesota Pollution Control Agency May 29, 2001 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Arlen Hviding, Contract Manager First Student Inc 5288 Stagecoach Trail N Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 RE: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System / State Disposal System (NPDES / SDS) General Storm Water Permit for Industrial Activity (MNG611000) for. First Student Inc/Oak Park Heights - SW (ID# A00006080) Dear Mr. Hviding: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has received your completed application for coverage for the above referenced industrial facility. The MPCA is pleased to inform you that permit coverage became effective 48 hours after the postmarked date of the application form The goal of this program is the elimination or reduction of contact between storm water (rain, snow melt), and potential Pollutants (significant materials). This is accomplished by developing an effective Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP) which requires the implementation of structural and non - structural "Best Management Practices" (BMPs). The individual responsible for implementing the SWPPP should become familiar with all other permit requirements (site inspections, annual reports, BMP implementation schedule, and posting the enclosed permit coverage certificate) to ensure compliance. The MPCA encourages you to retain this letter as part of your storm water permit file. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact storm water staff at (651) 296 -3960 or (800) 657 -3864.

FirstGroup Environmental Policy Statement Each FirstGroup America company will conduct its operations in compliance with all applicable environmental protection laws and in a manner that supports the protection and preservation of human health and the environment Policies and procedures used by FirstGroup companies to meet our Environmental Policy Statement are given in the Environmental Policy and Control Manual (EPCM). The EPCM was developed for our operating companies and defines the relevant legislation, the minimum standards for environmental management and the individual staff responsibilities for environmental management However, FirstGroup America has developed this environmental toolbox to provide every company location with a concise overview of the key environmental requirements that affect our site operations and practical advice to those at each site with the responsibility of implementing the requirements of the EPCM.
