Please note that by our acceptance of your no -exposure certification, you are obiigated to maintain no -exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for 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 26, 2014). 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.

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. For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DWQ 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 Until you are issued a No Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue to abide by the terms and conditions of the current permit.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 reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) Years. For questions, please contact the DWO Regional Office for your area.
