Dear Mr. Ingram:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on March 30, 2012. The Division is unable to concur with
your certification of No -Exposure.
Based on an inspection of your facility on May 2, 2012, Mooresville Regional Office staff found that industrial
activities or materials on your site either are exposed, or have the potential to be exposed as detailed in the
attached inspection report. DWQ cannot grant your requested exemption from permit coverage when
industrial activities or materials are exposed or have the potential to be exposed. Please continue to operate
under General Permit NCG080711.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Marcia Allocco at [phone], or at
marcia.allocco(cDncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
for Charles Wakild, P.E., Division Director

Permit: NCGNE0845 Owner - Facility: NC Air National Guard
Inspection Date: 05/02/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The facility was visited through a new No -Exposure Certification request. A compliance evaluation inspection [for the
permittee's coverage (NCG080711) under general permit NCGO80000] was also conducted.
All stormwater at the site discharges to an unnamed tributary to Little Mountain Creek (verified on USGS New London
Quadrangle).
The following sources of stormwater exposure were noted during the inspection:
• Uncovered fueling pumps (2)
Therefore, the facility does not meet the No -Exposure requirements. You are more than welcome to reapply if a structure
is built over the fueling pumps to prevent stormwater exposure.

MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE:
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, 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).
For questions, please contact the DWO Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)

an NPDES permit prior to any point source discharge 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
