Dear Mr. Kendall:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), Land Quality Section has reviewed your
submittal of the No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater Permitting form. Based on
your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility as well as observations
made during a site visit conducted by Mike Lawyer with the Fayetteville Regional Office on May 21, 2014, we
are 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 the
No Exposure Certification, 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 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 DEMLR 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 Mike Lawyer at [phone].
Sincerely,
torTracy E. s.CPM

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Storrnwater
Permit based on NO EXPOSURE: ..
dEU-WATt}iQUAtITIf
. R - ----- - -- -
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. EC
2013
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a No Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility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-certifv your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)
