Dear Mr. Bartlett:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) 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 during
site visits conducted by Mooresville Regional Office staff on August 18, 2020, 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 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, or obtain NPDES permit coverage
for any stormwater 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 Mr. James Moore at [phone].
Sincerely,
