Dear Mr. Mayben:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No Exposure Certification for Exclusion from
NPDES Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on November 24, 2020. The Division is
unable to concur with your certification of No -Exposure.
Based on an inspection of your facility on December 17, 2020 Mooresville Regional Office staff
found that industrial activities or materials on your site either are exposed, or have the potential to be
exposed. DEMLR cannot grant your requested exemption from permit coverage when industrial
activities or materials are exposed or have the potential to be exposed. Please see attached
inspection report.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Matthew Gigante at (704) 235-
