Subject: No Exposure Certification NCGNE1363
Samos Polymers
Gaston County
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 December 04, 2019, 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 your No -Exposure status annually and the form can be downloaded by visiting the
following web page for the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources Stormwater Program:
http://portal. ncdenr.orb/webilr/npd es-stonmwater
The annual self re -certification does not need to be submitted to DEMLR unless requested. A copy should
be maintained in your file.
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.
