Dear Ms. Clemmer:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No Exposure (NE) Certification for Exclusion
from NPDES Stormwater Permitting form, which was received in the Mooresville Regional
Office on September 5, 2013. A site visit was conducted on September 10, 2013, by Ms. Donna
Hood with this Office, and Wix was represented during this visit by Ms. Amanda Clemmer and
Mr. Paul Dunn.
Based on observations made by Ms. Hood during his inspection, there are materials on your site
that are either exposed, or have the potential to be exposed to stormwater that originate from the
industrial process areas of your facility. Such being the case, the Division cannot grant your
requested exemption from permit coverage when industrial activities or materials used in the
industrial process are exposed or have the potential to be exposed.
Since a NE Exclusion cannot be granted at this time, you are expected to obtain and comply with
industrial stormwater General Permit (GP) No. NCG060000. Copies of the Notice of Intent

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion fromla:Stormw,aterjP..e'rminbased
on NO EXPOSURE:
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your facility does not req re a
permit for stormwater 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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
stormwater 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).
You are required to self re -certify your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (Seepage 6)
