No Exposure Certification (NEC)

Some Industries that are required to address a Stormwater Permit may qualify for a No Exposure Certification (NEC). Your facility may qualify for a Conditional No Exposure Exclusion from permit requirements if there is no exposure of industrial materials or activities to precipitation or runoff.
