Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division 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, the
Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g), which is
incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations. We are also hereby withdrawing your current renewal
application for permit coverage number NCG050016.
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. Your conditional no -exposure exclusion
expires in five years (February 23, 2014). At that time you must re -certify with the Division, or obtain NPDES permit .
coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
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 Brian Lowther at [phone], or at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Coleen H. Sullins

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater
based on NO EXPOSURE:
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility does not require it
authorization for its 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 industn
facility means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter (with s
exceptions) 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 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 reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) years.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 5)

16) Certification:
I certify under penalty of law that I have read and understand the eligibility requirements for claiming a condition of "no
exposure' and obtaining an exclusion from NPDES stormwater permitting.
I certify under penalty of law that there are no discharges of stormwater contaminated by exposure to industrial activities
or materials from the industrial facility or site identified in this document (except as allowed under 40 CFR 122.26(g)(2)).
I understand that I am obligated to submit a no exposure certification form once every five (5) years to the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality and, if requested, to the operator of the local municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) into
which the facility discharges (where applicable). I understand that I must allow the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality, or MS4 operator where the 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 designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based
on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the

that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for
knowing violations.

belief such information is true, complete, and accurate.
