Dear Mr. Wilson:
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 12622(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 discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. Your
conditional no-exposure exclusion expires in five years (April 30, 2020). 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 Sue White at 336-766-9661, or at
[e-mail].

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION NOV 18 2014
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
vv:t,5ton-�atein
on NO EXPOSURE: Regional Office
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, andlor runoff.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DWO 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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.
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 self re-certify your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions,please contact the DWO Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

exposure"and obtaining an exclusion from NPDES stormwater permitting.

understand that I am obligated to annually self re-certify No Exposure and, if requested, submit the re-certification to
DWQ or 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 dischancle 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
