Dear Michael Studebaker:
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, received on January 4,
2023. The Division is unable to concur with your certification of no exposure.
Based on an inspection of your facility on January 10, 2023, Mooresville Regional Office staff found that
industrial activities and/or materials on your site remain and are exposed to precipitation events. Used
pallets and boxes were left in the loading bay in addition to an uncovered open -top dumpster. The
Division cannot grant your requested exemption from permit coverage when industrial activities or
materials are exposed or have the potential to be exposed. Please apply for coverage under an NPDES
Industrial Permit. Information can be found at dea.nc.eov/SW-industrial.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Brittany Cook at (919) 707-
3648 or email at Brittany.cook(@ncdenr.gov
Sincerely,
for Doug R. Ansel, Interim Director
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources
