Dear Permittee:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on March 16, 2001. 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.
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.

Subject: No Exposure Certification For Storm Water Permitting
Dear Mr. Mills,
On April 10th, we had a conversation by phone about the "No Exposure Certification" form for
exclusion from Storm Water permitting. If I recall correctly, you told me that North Carolina did
not require such a form but that I could use the EPA form which you faxed to me. You said to
mail the filled out form back to you, which I have enclosed with this letter. If I'm not correct in
doing so, please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,

NPDES Storm Water Permitting
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that the entity identified in Section A does not require permit authorization for Its storm water
discharges associated with industrial activity in the State identified in Section B under EPA's Storm Water Multi -Sector General Permit due to the existence
of a condition of no exposure.
A condition of no exposure exists at an Industrial facility when all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelter 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 without 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 facility qualifying for the no exposure excluslon. In addition, the exclusion from NPDES permitting Is
available on a facility -wide basis only, not for individual outfalis. If any industrial activities or materials are or will be exposed to precipitation, the facility is
not eligible for the no exposure exclusion.

3. Indicate whether the facility is located on Indian Lands.
•4. Indicate whether the industrial facility is operated by a department or
agency of the Federal Government (see also Section 313 of the Clean
Water Act).
5. Enter the latitude and longitude of the approximate center of the facility
or site in degrees/minutes/seconds. Latitude and longitude can
be obtained from United States Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle
or topographic maps, by calling 1-(888) ASK-USGS, or by accessing
EPA's web site at http:/twww.eR2.gov/owrrLtsw/industlindex.htm and
selecting Latitude and Longitude Finders under the Resources/Permit
section.
Latitude and longitude for a facility in decimal form must be converted
to degrees (°), minutes ('), and seconds (") for proper entry on
the certification form. To convert decimal latitude or longitude to
degreeslminuteslseconds, follow the steps in the following example.
Example: Convert decimal latitude 45.1234567 to degrees (°), minutes
('). and seconds C1).
a) The numbers to the left of the decimal point are the degrees: 45°.
b) To obtain minutes, multiply the first four numbers to the right of the
decimal point by 0,006: 1234 x 0.006 = 7.404,
c) The numbers to the left of the decimal point In the result obtained
in (b) are the minutes: T.
d) To obtain seconds, multiply the remaining three numbers to the
right of the decimal from the result obtained in (b) by 0.06:
404 x 0.06 = 24.24. Since the numbers to the right of the decimal
point are not used, the result is 24".
e) The conversion for 45,1234567 = 451 7' 24".
6. Indicate whether the facility was previously covered under an NPDES
storm water permit. If so, Include the permit number.
7. Enter the 4-digit SIC code which identifies the facility's primary activity,
and second 4-digit SIC code identifying the facility's secondary activity.
If applicable. SIC codes can be obtained from the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, 1987,
8. Enter the total size of the site associated with industrial activity in acres.
Acreage may be determined by dividing square footage by 43.560. as
demonstrated in the following example.
Example: Convert 54,450 ft2 to acres
Divide 54,450 ft2 by 43,560 square feet per acre:
54,450 ft2 + 43,560 ft2lacre - 1.25 acres.
9. Check "Yes' or "No' as appropriate to indicate whether you have paved
or roofed over a formerly exposed, pervious area (i.e., lawn, meadow,
dirt or gravel road/parking lot) in order to qualify for no exposure. If yes,
also Indicate approximately how much area was paved or roofed over
and is now impervious area.
