Industrial No Exposure Certification
If you qualify for no exposure certification, you are exempt from permit requirements until your facility no longer qualifies for no exposure certification. If your facility changes and can no longer claim no exposure to storm water, you must submit the appropriate permit application for storm water discharge. The No Exposure Certification form must be submitted to Ohio EPA at least once every five years.
