Dear Mr. Pucket:
The Division has reviewed your application for No-Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above
referenced facility, the Division is granting you conditional exclusion from permitting as provided for
under 40 CFR 126.22(g). We are also hereby rescinding your current permit Certificate of Coverage,
-NICG050221.
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
no-exp6sure 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 (October 25, 2014). At that time
you must re-certify with the Division; or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any storm-vvater 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 Jenifer Carter at [phone], or
at [e-mail]
Sincerely,
Steve W. Tedder

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION `Please check here if this is a renewal: 0 RENEWAL
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System application for exclusion from a Stormwater Permit based
on NO EXPOSURE:
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, DWQ 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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).
You are re uired to reapply for the No Exposure Exclusion once every five 5 ears.
For questions,please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)
