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 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, the entity in Section A is certifying that a condition of no exposure exists at its facility or site, and is obligated to comply with the terms and conditions of 40 CFR 122.26(g). ALL INFORMATION MUST BE PROVIDED ON THIS FORM. Detailed instructions for completing this form and obtaining the no exposure exclusion are provided on pages 3 and 4. .. _ A.

Facility/Site Location Information Federal law at 40 CFR Part 122.26 prohibits point source discharges of storm water associated with industrial activity to waters of the U.S. without a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. However, NPDES permit coverage is not required for discharges of storm water associated with industrial activities identified at 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(i)- (ix) and (xi) if the discharger can certify that a condition of "no exposure' exists at the industrial facility or site. Storm water discharges from construction activities identified in 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14)(x) and (b)(15) are not eligible for the no exposure exclusion. 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 is only applicable in jurisdictions where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority and must be re -submitted at least once every five years. The industrial facility operator must maintain a condition of no exposure at its facility or site in order for the no exposure exclusion to remain applicable. If conditions change resulting in the exposure of materials and activities to storm water, the facility operator must obtain coverage under an NPDES storm water permit immediately. Where to File the No Exposure Certification Form Mail the completed no exposure certification form to: Storm Water No Exposure Certification (4203) USEPA 401 M Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20460 Completing the Form You must type or print, using uppercase letters, in appropriate areas only. Enter only one character per space (i.e., between the marks). Abbreviate if necessary to stay within the number of characters allowed for each item. Use one space for breaks between words. One form must be completed for each facility or site for which you are seeking to certify a condition of no exposure. Additional guidance on completing this form can be accessed through EPA's web site at www.epa.gov/owm/sw, Please make sure you have addressed all applicable questions and have made a photocopy for your records before sending the completed form to the above address. Section A. Facility Operator Information 1. Provide the legal name or the person, firm, public organization, or any other entity that operates the facility or site described in this certification. The name of the operator may or may not be the same as the name of the facility. The operator is the legal entity that controls the facility's operation, rather than the plant or site manager. 2. Provide the telephone number of the facility operator. 3. Provide the mailing address of the operator (P.O. Box numbers may be used). Include the city, state, and zip code. All correspondence will be sent to this address. 1. Enter the official or legal name of the facility or site. 2. Enter the complete street address (if no street address exists, provide a geographic description [e.g., Intersection of Routes 9 and 55)), city, county, state, and zip code. Do not use a P.O. Box number. 3. Indicate whether the facility is located on Indian Lands. 4. Indicate whether the industrial facility is operated by a department or agency of the Federal Government (see also Section 313 of the Clean Water Act). 5. Enter the latitude and longitude of the approximate center of the facility or site in degrees/minutes/seconds. Latitude and longitude can be obtained from United States Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle or topographic maps, by calling 1-(888) ASK-USGS, or by accessing EPA's web site at http://www.epa.gov/owm/sw/industry/index.htm and selecting Latitude and Longitude Finders under the Resources/Permit section. Latitude and longitude for a facility in decimal form must be converted to degrees (°), minutes I'), and seconds (") for proper entry on the certification form. To convert decimal latitude or longitude to degrees/minutes/seconds, follow the steps in the following example. Example: Convert decimal latitude 45.1234567 to degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds ("). a) The numbers to the left of the decimal point are the degrees: 45". b) To obtain minutes, multiply the first four numbers to the right of the decimal point by 0.006: 1234 x 0.006 = 7.404. c) The numbers to the left of the decimal point in the result obtained in (b) are the minutes: 7'. d) To obtain seconds, multiply the remaining three numbers to the right of the decimal from the result obtained in (b) by 0.06: 404 x 0.06 = 24.24. Since the numbers to the right of the decimal point are not used, the result is 24". e) The conversion for 45.1234567 = 45" 7' 24". 6. Indicate whether the facility was previously covered under an NPDES storm water permit. If so, include the permit number. 7. 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 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987. 8. Enter the total size of the site associated with industrial activity in acres. Acreage may be determined by dividing square footage by 43,560, as demonstrated in the following example. Example: Convert 54,450 ft2 to acres Divide 54,450 f8 by 43,560 square feet per acre: 54,450 h2+43,560 h2/acre = 1.25 acres. 9. Check "Yes" or "No" as appropriate to indicate whether you have paved or roofed over a formerly exposed, pervious area (i.c., 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.
