Subject: Certificate of Coverage (COC) for a No Exposure Certification
Lark Maintenance Facility, NCGNE1371
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Hill:
The Division has reviewed your request for a No Exposure Certification received on
October 24, 2019. 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 CRF 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. The annual self re -certification does not
need to be submitted to DEMLR unless requested.
Your conditional exclusion from stormwater 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 questions about this matter, please contact Annette Lucas, Stormwater Program
Supervisor at [e-mail] or 919-707-3639.
Sincerely,
for Brian Wrenn
