Introduction
On August 25, 2019, Chris Bryant, DAQ-WSRO Environmental Specialist, visited Carolina Sunrock LLC - Prospect Hill
Facility in Caswell County for an unannounced targeted compliance inspection. Upon arrival, the inspector observed that
the facility was not in operation. Some equipment such as mixers and silos were laying on the ground. No equipment
was installed, and there did not appear to be any electricity on-site. There we no vehicles in the parking lot, and there
were no company personnel on-site. The facility appeared to be not in operation. The facility contact, Scott Martino,
confirmed that the facility is not operating but would hopefully be up and running by the end of the year. The facility was
issued a new permit on January 3, 2018 but has not yet started operating. According to permit review ROI (Taylor
Hartsfield, 1/3/2018), "Carolina Sunrock LLC - Prospect Hill Facility will be a drum mix, HMA plant capable of
processing 250 tons per hour and a truck mix, concrete batch plant capable of processing 120 cubic yards per hour." A
calculation of the modeling coordinates was done at the site on August 7, 2018. Although the exact location of the
equipment is not known, the location pin was taken at the centermost point.

Safety Equipment
Safety shoes, safety glasses, hard hat, safety vest,and hearing protection are required equipment when inspecting this
facility.
Latitude/Longitude Verifications
The latitude and longitude coordinates were verified to be accurate as documented in IBEAM. The exact mapping
coordinates for the permitted equipment via be verified once the equipment has been installed.
Applicable Regulations
According to Condition A.1 the facility is subject to the following regulations: Title 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC), Subchapter 2D .0202, 2D .0503, 2D .0506, 2D .0510, 2D .0515, 2D .0516, 2D .0521, 2D .0524 (40 CFR
60, Subparts I and 000), 2D .0535, 2D .0540, 2D .0605, 2D .0611, 2D .1 100, 2D .1806, 2Q .0304, 2Q .0309, 2Q .0315,
and 2Q .0317 (PSD and 2Q .0700 Avoidance) and 2Q .0711. This facility is not subject to RMP requirements of the
112(r) program since it does not use or store any of the regulated chemicals in quantities above the threshold levels in the
rule. The facility is only subject to the General Duty requirements contained in the General Duty Clause.
Discussion
The facility appeared to be not operating as of April 25, 2019. The facility, located at 4266 Wrenn Road, Prospect Hill,
North Carolina, was not constructed,and there was no evidence of any activity at the plant. The Authorized Contact,
Scott Martino was called, and he confirmed that the facility would not be constructed in the immediate future. The
current permit(01529R01)was issued on January 3, 2018, and it will expire on August 31, 2025. The permit has listed
several permitted sources which include drum mixer, storage silos, a truck loadout,and asphalt cement heaters. The
facility appears to be in compliance due to being not constructed or in use.
Permit Conditions/Applicable Regulations
Condition A.2 contains 15A NCAC 2D .0202 permit renewal and emissions inventory requirements. The facility was
issued a new permit on January 3, 2018. The permit expires on August 31, 2025, and the facility is required to submit a
renewal request and air pollution emission inventory report for the 2024 calendar year 90 days prior to the expiration of
the permit. Compliance is expected.
Condition A.3 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0503 "Particulates from Fuel Burning Indirect Heat Exchangers"
requirement. The condition applies to the two natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired liquid asphalt cement heaters(ES-HI and
ES-H2). The cement heaters will have a combined heat input of less than 10 MM/Btu/hr and are limited to 0.6
lbs/MMBtu. According to the permit review R00,the anticipated particulate matter emissions are equal to 0.0075 and
0.024 Ibs/MMBtu when combusting natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil, respectively. Compliance is expected.
Condition AA contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0506 "Particulates from Fuel Hot Mix Asphalt Plants"requirement. The
propane/natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil/recycled No. 2 fuel oil/recycled No. 4 fuel oil-Fred drum dryer/mixer(ES-HMA 1) is
subject to this regulation. The plant must limit particulate emissions according to the following equations:
E=4.9445 (P)14111 for P<300 tons per hour
E=60 Ibs/hr for P>300 tons per hour
The expected actual emission rate(8.25 Ibs PM/hr) is below the allowable limit(55.4 Ibs PM/hr). Compliance is expected.
Condition A.5 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .510"Particulates from Sand, Gravel,or Crushed Stone Operations"
requirement. The facility must take measures to minimize particulate matter from becoming airborne to prevent
exceedances of the ambient air quality standards for particulates. Fugitive dust must be controlled as referenced in 2D
.0540 and other emissions from crushed stone operations are applicable under 2D .0521. Compliance is expected.
3
Condition A.6 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0515 particulate control requirement.This condition sets the maximum
allowable particulate emissions using the following equations:
E=4.10(P)061 when P_<30 tons/hour
E= 55.0(P)011 - 40 when P> 30 tons/hour
The rule applies to all of the concrete batch sources. As referenced in permit review R00 by Taylor Hartsfield on
September 21, 2017,expected actual emission rates are from the NCDEQ Concrete Batch Plant spreadsheet submitted
with the application. As the expected actual rates are below the allowable rates, compliance is expected.

Condition A.7 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0516 "Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources" requirement.
The condition,applicable to the drum dryer/mixer(ES-HMA 1)and two liquid asphalt cement heaters(ES-HI and ES-
112), sets the maximum allowable sulfur dioxide emissions rate to be less than 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input. The
emission factors from AP-42 Tables 1.3-1 and 1.4-2(borrowed from permit review R00)were used to calculate emissions
for the asphalt cement heaters when combusting natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil. AP-42 Table 11.1-7 was used to calculate
emissions for the drum mixer when combusting natural gas,No. 2 fuel oil,and No. 4 fuel oil. The drum dryer/mixer (ES-
HMAI) has a sulfur dioxide emission rate of 0.011 Ibs/MMBtu(natural gas), 0.034 Ibs/MMBtu(No. 2), and 0.185
Ibs/MMBtu(No. 4). The two liquid asphalt cement heaters have a sulfur dioxide emission rate of 0.0059 Ibs/MMBtu
(natural gas)and 0.51 Ibs/MMBtu (No. 2). Compliance is expected.
Condition A.8 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0521 visible emissions control requirement. This facility is limited to 20%
opacity visible emissions, for sources manufactured after July 1, 1971, when averaged over a six-minute period. No
visible emissions were observed during this inspection because the business was not constructed. Compliance is
expected.
Condition A.9 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0524 "New Source Performance Standards"that pertain to the
propane/natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil/recycled No. 2 fuel oil/recycled No. 4 fuel oil-fired drum dryer/mixer. The permittee
must comply with all notification,testing, reporting, recordkeeping,and monitoring requirements as promulgated under
40 CFR 60, Subpart I "Hot Mix Asphalt Facilities." Within 15 days after start-up of the HMA plant,the facility is
required to notify the DAQ of the start-up date in writing. A source test will need to be conducted on the rotary drum mix
asphalt plant(controlled by a bagfilter, CD-I)to determine compliance with the emission limit of 90 mg/dscm (0.04
gr/dscO and the opacity limit of 20%. The facility is not open and has therefore not submitted the initial start-up
notification or performed any source testing. Compliance is expected.
Condition A.10 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0524 "New Source Performance Standards"that pertain to the crusher,
grinding operation, screening operation, bucket elevator, bagging operation, storage bin, enclosed truck, or loading
station. The rule is promulgated through 40 CFR 60, Subpart 000. Within 15 days after start-up of each source, the
facility must notify the DAQ of the start-up in writing. For the affected source, which will have commenced operation
after April 22, 2008, the visible emissions are limited to 12% opacity for crushers and 7% opacity from the belts, screens,
and other sources. A source test, using EPA Method 9, must be conducted on the crushers, screen, and conveyor. Once
4
operating,the facility must perform periodic inspections of the wet suppression systems. The documentation of these
inspections must be recorded in a logbook. Compliance is expected.
Condition A.11 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0535 notification requirement for excess emissions during a malfunction or
breakdown that lasts for more than 4 hours. The facility is not operating. No incidents or malfunctions were reported.
There are no issues registered in IBEAM for this facility. Compliance with the condition is expected.
Condition A.12 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0540 fugitive dust control requirement. No fugitive dust was observed
traveling beyond the property boundaries during this inspection. According to the DAQ IBEAM database, no complaints
have been received regarding fugitive dust emissions at this facility. Compliance with this condition is expected.
Condition A.13 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .0605 general recordkeeping and reporting requirements section. The DAQ
director has established that all hot mix asphalt plant must source test for compliance every 10 years at a minimum.
Filterable and condensable particulate matter is tested through EPA Methods 5 and 202. The target parameters for the tests
are reinforced in 15A NCAC 2D .0506 and .0524. The visible emissions test should be conducted with Method 9 on the
crushers, conveyors, belts, and screen in accordance with 15A NCAC 2D .0524. This includes the initial 40 CFR 60,
Subpart 000 source tests, which must be conducted within 60 days after achieving maximum productions and within 180
days of actual start-up. Furthermore, a testing protocol must be provided 45 days to DAQ prior to testing. The facility
must notify this office 15 days prior to testing. Protocol, setup, and testing must be performed in accordance with 2D
.2602. Compliance is expected.
Condition A.14 contains the 2D .0611 requirements for bagfilter maintenance and recordkeeping. The bagfilters(CD-I
and CD-2)are subject to this rule. The facility is required to perform, at a minimum, an annual (for each 12-month period
following the initial inspection) internal inspection of the bagfilter systems and perform periodic inspections and
maintenance as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.The results of all inspection and maintenance activities
must be recorded in a logbook. The facility is not operating yet and does not have any bagfilter or maintenance records.
Compliance is expected.
Condition A.15 contains the 15A NCAC 2D .1100"Control of Toxics Air Pollutants"requirement. The hot mix asphalt
(HMA)facility has modeled for arsenic unlisted compounds(ASC-other), benzene, formaldehyde,mercury vapor,and
nickel metals since the expected actual emissions are above the respective toxic emission rates. The affected sources are
the drum dryer/mixer, storage silos, truck loadouts, liquid asphalt heaters, and batch plant. The final/revised modeling
analysis was received from the facility on September 14,2017. The modeling adequately demonstrated compliance with
the maximum allowable ambient level (AAL)according to DAQ-AQAB Meteorologist,Nancy Jones. Using five years of
meteorological data collected in the Burlington and Greensboro areas, five toxics(arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde,
mercury, and nickel) were evaluated against impacts on elevated terrain. The current modeling analysis was taken on-site,
at 25-meter intervals, and extending 2,000 meters from the property line. The following table illustrates the results of the
analysis.
