Inc. (August Mack) has prepared this no-exposure certification for the Praxair Surface
Technologies, Inc. facility located at 8501 Old Statesville Road in Charlotte, North

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System general permit for Storm Water Runoff
associated with Industrial Activity(15A NCAC 02H). However,Praxair meets the criteria
for no exposure, as defined in 40 CFR 122.26(g), Therefore, Praxair is submitting the
attached no exposure certification to request exclusion from the general permit program.
If there are any questions regarding this submittal or if any additional information is

RMWA�ER PERMITTING
ix? &TOSubmission of this No Exposure CeAkation 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, 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Exposure Certification and your NPDES permit is rescinded, your facility must continue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.
