National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on No EXPOSURE: DEC 15 2016
DENR-LAND QUALITY
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notificaiforittiaf 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, andlor 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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, by-products, 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 must be self re-certified at least annually.

Dear Ms. Perry:
The Division 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, the
Division is granting your conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(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 a no-exposure
exclusion, 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. Your conditional no-
exposure exclusion expires in five years (February 26, 2014). At that time you must re-certify with the Division, or
obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges'from your facility.
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 Robert Patterson at(919) 807-6375, or at

based on NO EXPOSURE: m
Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility does not re ji;'rm
authorization for its stormwafer discharges associated with industrial activity in the State , _ h
Carolina because it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion.A condition of no exposure at an
facility means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelte wi
exceptions)to prevent exposure to rain,snow, snowmelt, and/or runoff.
Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or activities,
industrial machinery, raw materials,intermediate products,by-products, 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 stormwafer 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).
You are required to reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five (5) years.

Submission of this No Exposure Certification constitutes notice that your facility does not 're jiermif

Carolina because it qualifies for a no exposure exclusion. A condition of no exposure at an ria!—.J
facility means all industrial materials and activities are protected by a storm resistant shelte_ wit sayi
exceptions) to prevent exposure to rain,snow,snowmelt, andlor runoff.
Industrial materials or activities include, but are not limited to: material handling equipment or activities,
industrial machinery, raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, 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;

A No Exposure Certification must be provided for each facility qualifying for the no exposure exclusion.

individual outfalls. If any industrial activities or materials are, or will be, exposed to precipitation, the
