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.
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

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit
based on NO EXPOSURE:
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility does not require permit
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 industrial
facility means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter (with some
exceptions) to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowme/t, 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 DINO Regional Office for your area. (See page 5)

RE: No Exposure Certification for Exclusion
APC Selma— 1451 West Noble Street, Selma, N.C. 27576
Dear Sir or Madam:
The engineering firm of Bolton & Menk, Inc. recently completed an environmental compliance
audit of our facility located in Selma, North Carolina. The Clean Water Act section of the audit
revealed that we should have submitted a Notice of Intent to join the General Permit program or
No Exposure Certification to discharge storm water from industrial activity.
As soon as we received notice of this discovery, we requested Bolton & Menk to help us
determine if we would qualify for the No Exposure Certification. They contacted the DWQ
Office in Raleigh to discuss the guidelines for this certification. Bolton & Menk advised us,
based upon their understanding of the rules, we would qualify.
APC Selma is pleased to submit the attached No Exposure Certification for our facility.
APC takes environmental compliance very seriously and has taken corrective action to reduce
the risk of these types ofovcrsights in the future. Please contact me at 919-965-2051 with any
questions you may have regarding this submittal. Thank you for your assistance with this
application.
Sincerely,
lz�12'41"J
