From Rockingham,take HWY 74 west. B.V.Hedrick is approximately 3.5 miles past where HWY 74 crosses the Pee Dee River. Proceed down the dirt road. The office/scale house is the light colored building on the right. Be mindful of truck traffic. 2) Safety Considerations Standard DAQ safety equipment, as well as safety vest.Watch for trains at the railroad tracks just before entering property, as well as large trucks and loaders while on site. 3) Facility and General Description B.V. Hedrick Sand and Gravel is a granite mining operation. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 095721104, effective 10 June 2015 until 31 May 2023.Mike Thomas conducted the last inspection on 11 May 2017. B.V.Hedrick Gravel and Sand Company is a mining facility that primarily produces sand for commercial use and is permitted for crushing gravel. This facility is a quarry which extracts mainly granite from the earth. The granite and crushed stone products are loosened by drilling and blasting, and then are loaded by power shovel or front-end loader into large haul trucks that transport the material to the processing operations. Primary operations include a jaw, which is used for initial crusher reduction,and a series of conveyors. This crusher product is next fed through a grizzly feeder for undersize material, and then is discharged onto a conveyor,where it goes through more screening processes,until it is conveyed to a surge pile for temporary storage or sold as coarse aggregate. The finest product is sold to customers,who then bag and sell the"sand,"which is used mainly in small aquariums. Crushers, conveyors and power screens are all electric,with generators powered by diesel engines. There are no emergency generators. The activity at the site is related to B.V. Hedrick's sand mining operation. The sand mining operation does not require an Air Permit. All sand operations are water-suppressed. This facility has not conducted any operations or operated any of the permitted sources since the very end of 2012. 4) Permitted Emission Sources Emis' on Sww'ce CQ pntrol System ' fit..Sub ,11) Det f,pt,Qa Sye Desc)f) on �Iqu a, m;ral Pr Ittdiz'i�" atepres'siq��git6., �ribl � rc �i , .gym$ µ,,; �) Crushing and Feeding Operations s Wet suppression water Crushers SPS WS Not Operating spray system Screening Operations Wet suppression water Screens(NSPS) WS a � Not Operating IIII spray system Conveying Operations Conveyors Wet suppression water SPS WS ) of Operating spray system Aztec G-1 125 HP John Deere diesel generator SPS,NESHAP (manufactured in 2008) I Not Operating N/A N/A C50 G4 F 350 TiTier II Caterpillar diesel generator ' isstor F �Syorircx art aft 1 y�teih rce I description &, mID, 4llon , (NSPS,NESHAP) (manufactured in 2009) Not Operating 365 HP Caterpillar diesel generator T-G10 (manufactured in 2002) �(NESHAP) Not Operating XQ60 100 HP Caterpillar diesel generator (NESHAP) manufactured t 2001) Not Operating 5) Inspection Conference On 2 May 2019 I,Mike Thomas, of FRO DAQ conducted a compliance inspection of the B.V. Hedrick Gravel and Sand Company. I met with Tim Jones,Plant Superintendent and Facility Contact. We discussed the following: a) Verified the FACFINDER. No changes are necessary. — b) Mr. Jones informed me that the crusher and screen for the mining operation had been removed since my last inspection. He went on to say that the facility wants to retain their air permit as they have hopes to start mining again within the next five years. c) Production Year Crushed Stone T/ r 2018 0 2017 0 2016 0 2015 0 2014 0 2013 0 2012 31,320 6) Inspection Summary Mr.Jones led me on a tour of the facility which consisted of driving down to the mine and observing that no mining operations are taking place.
