Ludwig Industries - 2806 Mason St
Union County
Dear Permittee:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on July 15, 2002. We apologize for the extended period it has
taken us to get back to you on this request and we appreciate your patience as we have worked through this
process. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility the
Division is granting your certification 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. It 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, 2010). At that time you must re -certify with
the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility. -
Your certification of no exposure 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 Jonathan Diggs at [phone] ext.
537, or at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Alan W . Klimek, P.E.

Obtaining and Maintaining the No Exposure Exclusion
This form is used to certify that a condition of no exposure exists at the
industrial facility or site described herein. This certification is only applicable
in jurisdictions where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority and must be
re -submitted at least once every five years.
The industrial facility operator must maintain a condition of no exposure at
its facility or site in order for the no exposure exclusion to remain applicable.
If conditions change resulting in the exposure of materials and activities to
storm water, the facility operator must obtain coverage under an NPDES
storm water permit immediately.
Where to File the No Exposure Certification Form
Mail the completed no exposure certification form to:
Storm Water No Exposure Certification (4203)
USEPA
401 M Street, SW
Washington, D.C. 20460
Completing the Form
You must type or print, using uppercase letters, in appropriate areas only.
Enter only one character per space (i.e., between the marks). Abbreviate
if necessary to stay within the number of characters allowed for each item.
Use one space for breaks between words. One form must be completed
for each facility or site for which you are seeking to certify a condition of no
exposure. Additional guidance on completing this form can be accessed
through EPA's web site at www.epa.gov/owm/sw. Please make sure you
have addressed all applicable questions and have made a photocopy for
your records before sending the completed form to the above address.
Section A. Facility Operator Information
1. Provide the legal name of the person, firm, public organization, or any
other entity that operates the facility or site described in this certification.
The name of the operator may or may not be the same as the name of
the facility. The operator is the legal entity that controls the facility's
operation, rather than the plant or site manager.
2. Provide the telephone number of the facility operator.
3. Provide the mailing address of the operator (P.O. Box numbers may be
used). Include the city, state, and zip code. All correspondence will
be sent to this address.
EPA Form 3510-11 (10-99)
4. Indicate whether the industrial facility is operated by a department or
agency of the Federal Government (see also Section 313 of the Clean
Water Act).
5. Enter the latitude and longitude of the approximate center of the facility
or site in degrees/minutes/seconds. Latitude and longitude can
be obtained from United States Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle
or topographic maps, by calling 1-�888) ASK-USGS, or by accessing
EPA's web site at http://www,epa.ovlowmiswitndustryjindex.htm and
selecting Latitude and Longitude Finders under the Resources/Permit
section.
Latitude and longitude for a facility in decimal form must be converted
to degrees (1), minutes ('), and seconds (") for proper entry on
the certification form. To convert decimal latitude or longitude to
degreeslminuteslseconds, follow the steps in the following example.
Example: Convert decimal latitude 45.1234567 to degrees (°), minutes
('), and seconds (").
a) The numbers to the left of the decimal point are the degrees: 451.
b) To obtain minutes, multiply the first four numbers to the right of the
decimal point by 0=6: 1234 x 0.006 = 7.404.
c) The numbers to the left of the decimal point in the result obtained
in (b) are the minutes: 7'.
d) To obtain seconds, multiply the remaining three numbers to the
right of the decimal from the result obtained in (b) by 0.06:
404 x 0.06 = 24.24. Since the numbers to the right of the decimal
point are not used, the result is 24".
e) The conversion for 45.1234567 = 45' T 24
6. Indicate whether the facility was previously covered under an NPDES
storm water permit- If so, include the permit number.
7. Enter the 4-digit SIC code which identifies the facility's primary activity,
and second 4-digit SIC coda identifying the facility's secondary activity,
if applicable. SIC codes can be obtained from the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, 1987.
8. Enter the total size of the site associated with industrial activity in acres.
Acreage may be determined by dividing square footage by 43,560, as
demonstrated in the following example.
Example: Convert 54,450 ft2 to acres
Divide 54,450 ft2 by 43,560 square feet per acre:
54,450 ft2 + 43.560 ft2lacre = 1.25 acres.
9. Check 'Yes' or "No* as appropriate to indicate whether you have paved
or roofed over a formerly exposed, pervious area (i.e., lawn, meadow.
dirt or gravel roadiparking lot) in order to qualify for no exposure. If yes,
also indicate approximately how much area was paved or roofed over
and is now impervious area.
