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 as well as observations made by Thad Valentine with the Raleigh Regional Office on
November 8, 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 canlno 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 slormwater 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 Thad Valentine at (919) 791-4200.

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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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
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).

NCGNE0000 No Exposure Certification
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 CFR 122.26(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
information, the information submitted is to the best of my knowledge and belief true, accurate and complete. I am aware
that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for
knowing violations.
I certify that I am familiar with the information contained in this application and that to the best of my knowledge and belief
such information is true, complete, and accurate.
Printed Name of Person Signing: Derek Jones
Please note: This application for the No Exposure Exclusion is subject to approval by the
NCDENR Regional Office prior to issuance. The Regional Office may inspect your facility for
compliance with no exposure conditions prior to that approval. The Regional Office may also
inspect your facility at any time in the future for compliance with the No Exposure Exclusion.
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6 B(i) provides that:
Any person who knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record, report, plan, or other
document filed or required to be maintained under this Article or a rule implementing this Article; or who knowingly makes a false
statement of a material fact in a rulemaking proceeding or contested case under this Article; or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly
renders inaccurate any recording or monitoring device or method required to be operated or maintained under this Article or rules of the
[Environmental Management] Commission implementing this Article shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor which may include a fine
not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
