Dear Mr. Mertens:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) 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 site visits conducted by Mooresville Regional Office staff on
February 16, 2022, the Division is 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 Mr. Jesse McDonnell at
[phone].
