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, DEMLR 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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 current permit.
Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or activities,
industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, byproducts, 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).
If approved, your conditional No Exposure Exclusion has no expiration date
BUT MUST BE self re -certified at least annually.
Please look for information about re -certification under the No Exposure section on this page:

I certify under penalty of law that I have read and understand the eligibility requirements for claiming a condition of "no
exposure" and obtaining an exclusion from NPDES stormwater permitting.
I certify under penalty of law that there are no discharges of stormwater contaminated by exposure to industrial activities or

I understand that I am obligated to maintain no exposure conditions and complete a Self -Recertification form at least once
each year, and if requested, provide this certification to the operator of the local municipal separate storm sewer system
(MS4) into which the facility discharges (where applicable). I understand that I must allow the North Carolina Division of

to confirm the condition of no exposure and to make such inspection reports publicly available upon request. I understand I
must keep a copy of annual re -certifications on file at the facility.
In the event that the site no longer qualifies for a No Exposure Exclusion, I understand that I must obtain coverage under
an NPDES permit prior to any point source discharge of stormwater from the facility. Additionally, I certify under penalty of
law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system
designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information submitted. Based on my
inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
