Dear Mr. Hartman:
ROY COOPER

MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
WILLIAM E. TOBY VINSON; JR.
Interim Director
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) has reviewed your submittal of the No
Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES Stormwater Permitting form. Based on your submittal and
signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility as well as observations made during a site
visit conducted by Mooresville Regional Office staff on January 4, 2018, 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 the
No Exposure Certification,.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. You must self re -certify annually using the enclosed 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.
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.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Mr. James Moore at [phone].
Sincerely, I�

Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes nddification that your facility does not require a
permit for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity in the State of North Carolina because
if 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
exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff.
For permitted facilities in North Carolina, DEMLR.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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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
storm water discharges (e.g., rock salt).
A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each faa tv qualifying for the no exposure exclusion. In
addition, the exclusion from NPDFS 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).
If approved, your conditional No Exposure Exclusion has no expiration date
BUT MUST BE self re -certified at least annuall
Please look for information about re -certification under the No Exposure section on this page: https://deq.nc,gp /
