Dear Ms. Wells:
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
September 8, 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 NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility. The
annual self re -certification does not need to be submitted to DEMLR unless requested.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stb �rA rm, iiaSel G
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 meanP*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.. r ' C-)
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DEMLP ..: ,t approve your application fbirWo"D
rT
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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue -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. % z
Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or aefivitles,
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 ears.
For questions, please contact the DEMLR 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
designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my
