Dear Mr.Brown:
In accordance with your completed Air Quality Permit Application for renewal of a Title V permit
received December 22,2017,we are forwarding herewith Air Quality Permit No.08179TI I to Triangle Brick
Company—Wadesboro Brick Manufacturing Plant,US Hwy 52, Wadesboro,Anson County,North Carolina
authorizing the construction and operation, of the emission source(s) and associated air pollution control
device(s) specified herein, Additionally, any emissions activities determined from your Air Quality Permit
Application as beuig insignificant per 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02Q.0503(8)have been listed
for informational purposes as an"ATTACHMENT." Please note the requirements for the annual compliance
certification are contained in General Condition P in Section 3. The current owner is responsible for
submitting a.compliance certification for the entire year regardless of who owned the facility during the year.
As the designated responsible official, it is your responsibility to review, understand,and abide by all of
the terms and conditions of the attached permit. It is also your responsibility to ensure that any person who
operates any emission source and associated air pollution control device subject to any term or condition of
the attached permit reviews, understands, and abides by the condition(s) of the attached permit that are
applicable to that particular emission source.
If any parts,requirements,or limitations contained in this Air Quality Permit are unacceptable to you,you
have the right to request a formal adjudicatory hearing within 30 days following receipt of this permit,
identifying the specific issues to be contested. This hearing request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to NCGS (North Carolina General Statutes) 150B-23, and filed with both the Office of
Administrative Hearings,6714 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714 and the division of

or issues for which the modification is sought. Please note that this Air Quality Permit will become final and
binding regardless of a request for informal modification unless a request for a hearing is also made under
NCGS 150B-23.
Anson County has riot triggered increment tracking under PSD for any pollutants, so no tracking is
required.
This Air Quality Permit shall be effective from July 13, 2018 until June 30, 2023, is nontransferable to
future owners and operators,and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Should
you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Russell Braswell at

rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any test data submitted
relating to that source.Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using the appropriate testing
procedures described in Section 02D.2600 has precedence over all other tests.
