The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater
Permitting form, which we received on November 15, 2007. The Division is unable to concur with your certification of no
exposure.
Based on an inspection of your facility, Mooresville Regional Office staff found that materials on your site either are
exposed, or have the potential to be exposed. DWQ cannot grant your requested exemption from permit coverage
when materials are exposed or have the potential to be exposed. Please continue to operate under the General Permit
NCG110000.
If you have any questions or need further, information, please contact Robert Patterson at [phone], or through
email at [e-mail].

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Storrnwater 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, snowmelt, 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 922.26(g).
You are required to reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) years.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 5)
