STORMWATER PERMITTING
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notification that your facility does not require 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. Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to:
• material handling equipment or activities, • by-products,
• industrial machinery, • final products, or
• raw materials, • waste products.
• intermediate 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 industrial materials stored in the following container types, provided
the containers are not deteriorated and do not leak:
• drums,
• barrels,
• tanks, and
• similar containers.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DEMUR 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rescinded, your facility must continue to abide by the terms and conditions of the current permit.
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure exclusion. Additionally,
the exclusion from NPDES permitting is available on a facility -wide basis only — not for individual outfalls. If any
industrial activities or materials are, orwill be, exposed to precipitation, thefacility is not eligibleforthe 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).
If approved, your conditional No Exposure Certification has no expiration date but must be self -recertified at least
annually. Please look for information about recertification under the No Exposure section on this page:
https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/nPdes-no-exposure.
Directions: Print or type all entries on this application form. Send the original, signed application to: NCDEMLR
Stormwater Program, 1612 MSC, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612. The submission of this form does not guarantee

representation, or certification in any application, record, report, plan, or other document filed or required to be maintained
under this Article or a rule implementing this Article ... shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor which may include a fine not
to exceed ten thousand dollars ($50,000). 1 hereby request exclusion from NPDES stormwater permitting.
Under penalty of law, I certify that:
❑O I am the person responsible for the industrial activity, for satisfying the requirements of this exclusion, and for any civil
or criminal penalties incurred due to violations of this exclusion.
O I have read and understand the eligibility requirements for claiming a condition of "no exposure" and obtaining an
exclusion from NPDES stormwater permitting.
O 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)).
O I understand that I am obligated to maintain no exposure conditions and complete a Self -Recertification form at least
once each year and, if requested, provide this certification 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 Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, or MS4 operator where applicable, to perform inspections to confirm
the condition of no exposure and to make such inspection reports publicly available upon request. I understand I must
keep a copy of annual recertifications on file at the facility.
❑ 1 understand that in the event that the site no longer qualifies for a No Exposure Exclusion that I must obtain coverage
under an NPDES permit prior to any point source discharge of stormwater from the facility.
O The information submitted in this NO[ is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete based on
my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
information.
