Dear Mr. Barrett:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the application for No Exposure Certification requesting exclusion from
NPDES stormwater permitting for the B & G Foods Snacks, Inc. facility located at 500 Chipita Way in Yadkinville, North
Carolina. Based on your submittal of a signed certification of no exposure and on the site visit conducted by Aana faylor-
Smith on December 10, 2013, the Division is granting 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, B & G Foods Snacks, Inc. is obligated to maintain
no exposure conditions at this facility. If conditions change such that the facility no longer qualifies for no exposure
exclusion, you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharge. Otherwise, the
discharge becomes subject to enforcement as unpermitted discharge.
B & G Foods Snacks, Inc. must recertify the no exposure status annually using the included form. Any"yes" answer would
require that you obtain NPDES permit coverage for stormwater discharge from the facility. The annual self-
recertification form does not need to be submitted to Dt=MLR unless requested. Please note that this 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 Aana Taylor-Smith or me at(336) 771-5000.
Sincerely,
Matthew E. Gantt, PE

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION for Exclusion 4

NO EXPOSURE CERTIFICATION
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 required to self re-certify your No Exposure Exclusion annually.
For questions,please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area. (See page 6)
