Dear Mr. Green:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification form for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure and the site visit of April 17, 2012, by staff
from this Office the Division is granting your 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, 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.
You must self re -certify your No -Exposure status annually using the enclosed form or obtain NPDES permit
coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility. The annual self re -certification does not need to be
submitted to DWQ unless requested. Your 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 Marcia Allocco at [phone], or at
marcia.allocco[o)ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
for Charles Wakild, P. E.

Inspection Dater 04/1712012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The facility was visited through a new No -Exposure Certification request.
Stormwater at the site drains to two outfalls with eventual_ discharge to an unnamed. tributary to Irwin Creek (verified on
USGS Derita Quadrangle). The outfall (drop inlet) at the southeastern corner of the building collects roof drain discharge.
The outfall (drop inlet) in the parking. lot on the westernside of the building collects -runoff from the shipping/receiving area
and roof drains. There was flow in southeastern comer drop inlet, which was determined to be air conditioner condensate
(deemed permitted).
The following sources of stormwater exposure were noted during the inspection:
• Newly installed trash compactor — however, the dumpster was entirely contained and there was no evidence of
discharge from the dumpster.
Therefore, the facility meets the requirements of "No Exposure".

MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
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 storm water 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, DWQ 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 storm water 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)-
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

discharge is into the local MS4, to perform inspections to confirm the condition of no exposure and to make such
inspection reports publicly available upon request.
In the event that the site no longer qualifies for a No Exposure Exclusion, I understand that I must obtain coverage under
an NPDES permit prior to any point source discharge of stormwater from the facility. Additionally, I certify under penalty of
law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system
