Dear Mr. Smith:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Division 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, the
Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g), which is
incorporated by reference in North Carolina regulations. We are also hereby rescinding your current coverage under
Certificate of Coverage number NCG110066..
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, 2014). At that time you must re -certify with the Division, or obtain NPDES permit
coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
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 Sarah Young at [phone], or at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Colleen H. Sullins

A site inspection was conducted at the facility on 1/30/09 with Adam Waters [phone], Mike Apple and
myself (Washington WWTP — NCG110066). The operations and site were very well maintained. The site
layout was such that there was no stormwater leaving the property. The site meets the requirements of No
Exposure.
I recommend NCG110066 be rescinded.

a Stormwater Permit
our facility does not require permit
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.
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).
You are required to reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) years.
For questions, please contact the DWO Regional Office for your area. (See page 5)
