National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit
based on NO EXPOSURE:
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility does not re
authorization for its stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in the State of
Carolina because it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion. A condition of no exposure at an it
facility means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter
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 act
industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, final products, or waste 1
products. Material handling activities include the storage, loading and unloading, transportation,
conveyance of any raw material, intermediate product, final product or waste product. A storm res
shelter is not required for the following industrial materials and activities: drums, barrels, tanks, an _
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

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).
