Dear Permittee:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on July 1, 2004. We apologize for the extended period it has
taken us to get back to you on this request and we appreciate your patience as we have worked through this
process. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility the
Division is granting your certification as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g) which is incorporated by
reference in North Carolina regulations. In addition, your coverage under general permit NCG030477 is also
hereby rescinded. This rescission is based upon your certification of no exposure conditions at this facility.
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 un-permitted discharge. Your
conditional no -exposure exclusion expires in five years (April 30, 2010). At that time you must re -certify with
the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your certification of no exposure 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 Jonathan Diggs at [phone] ext.
537, or at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Alan W. Klimek, P.E.
