The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form and made a site visit to assess the potential for stormwater pollution. Based on our
observations and 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.
Please note that by our acceptance of your no -exposure certification, you are obligated to maintain no-
exposdreconditions 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 (subject
to civil 'penalties of up to $25,000 per day). Your conditional no -exposure exclusion does not expire.
However, you must self re -certify annually using the enclosed form, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for
any stormwater discharges from your facility. Please store the completed re -certification forms in order to
have them available during future inspections by DWQ.
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 Dave Parnell at [phone] or at
[e-mail].

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,

Is the facility compliant?
Comment: Site has made some changes that have allowed me to approve their No
Exposure certification. They have removed old pallets from the dock area and will keep
any that are on hand under shelter. We reviewed the dumpster area and agreed that a
cover will be required at all times. Some materials that are used for'brewing is hauled
away by farmers - great care will have to be done to keep any of the used organic
materials from being spilled and taken down the stormdrain during rainfall events.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE:
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 c► ant permit.
Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited te. 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 self re -certify your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions, please contact the DINO Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)
