. The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification form for
Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed
certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility, and the inspection dated April 2,
2014, the Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under
40 CFR 122.26(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. If 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 unpermitted discharge.
You must self re -certify your No -Exposure status annually using the included form
or obtain NPDESpermit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility. The
annual self re -certification does not need to be submitted to DEMLR unless requested.
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.

MAR 13 2014
NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion frorraaNgto ftwateroPerrnittbased
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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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
sioriiiwater discharges (e.g., rock zdii).
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 self re -certify your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6) ZJ

17) Certification:
I certify under penalty of law that I have read and understand the eligibility requirements for claiming a condition of "no
exposure" and obtaining an exclusion from NPDES stormwater permitting.
I certify under penalty of law that there are no discharges of stormwater contaminated by exposure to industrial activities
or materials from the industrial facility or site identified in this document (except as allowed under 40 CFA t 22.26(g)(2)).
I understand that I am obligated to annually self re -certify No Exposure and, if requested, submit the re -certification to
DWQ or the operator of the local municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) into which the facility discharges (where
applicable). I understand that I must allow the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, or MS4 operator where the
discharge is into the local MS4, to perform inspections to confirm the condition of no exposure and to make such
inspection reports publicly available upon request.
In the event that the site no longer qualifies for a No Exposure Exclusion, I understand that I must obtain coverage under
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
designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my
inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the

such information is true, complete, and accurate.

Subject: Reference NPDES Stormwater Permit Exemption
Engineered Controls international, Inc.

Dear Mr. D'Ambrosio:
This letter is in response to your request concerning exemption from NPDES
Stormwater Permit requirements as allowed by 40 CFR 122.26(a)(14)(xi) for Category 11
facilities. This exemption in the Federal Stormwater requirements applies to facilities
which have eliminated exposure of specific industrial activities to stormwater runoff.
In response to your request of January 10, 1997, we have consulted with our
Mooresville Regional Office and they have agreed to the requested exemption. Please note
that for continued compliance with current Federal NPDES Stormwater regulations you
must continue to maintain all appropriate best management practices which currently
prohibit stormwater contact with industrial activities.
If you have any further questions with regards to this confirmation you may contact
Mr. Steve Ulmer with the NPDES Sttormwater Group at [phone], extension 545.
Sincerely,
Bradley Bennett
Supervisor, NPDES Stormwater Group
