From Wadesboro,take HWY 74 west for 13.5 miles. The Quikrete facility will be on the left right before the Union County line. i 'i 2) Safety Considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment.Be alert to trucks entering and exiting property. 3) Facility and Process Description: The Quikrete Company-Peachland is a dry concrete mixing facility that dries and packages play sand, concrete,mortar and mason mix, and grout.This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 06907RO9, effective from 25 November 2014 until 31 October 2022. The facility receives cement and mortar in powder form and stores these materials in silos. The facility dries sand and gravel in a rotary dryer and stores these materials in silos. The facility has single silos for dry sand/gravel, all-purpose sand, and play sand. The fourth is a"split"silo that holds masonry cement,fly ash, and Portland cement.The materials are metered out of the silos and mixed prior to packaging in 50 pound bags or large bulk bags. Particulate emissions from the silos,the dryer and the mixing/packaging operation are controlled by a total of seven bagfilters. The packaging system for filling bags is located inside a building. There is a central dust collection system that captures dust that comes from bag filling and from several other points along the packaging process. The company has 30 employees(including drivers)and operates two shifts(5:OOAM-2:30PM and 2:30PM- 10:30PM), 5 days/week,52 wks/yr. Silos are typically filled at the end of first shift,so a later PM inspection would be in order to see a filling. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 06907RO9, effective from November 25, 2014 until October 31,2022. Mike Thomas conducted the last compliance inspection on 28 July by Dan Thoma and Mike Thomas. 4) Permitted Emission Sources: One LPG-fired rotary dryer 140 tons per hour maximum throughput Bagfilter ES-1 20 mmBtu/hr maximum heat input CD 8 1 (3,240 square feet of filter area) Not Operating Cement packaging operation i��re feet o ES 4 Not Operating CD 2 (2,403 square feet of filter area) ES 6 One Sand silo CD-14 Bagfilter Not Operating (125 square feet of filter area) _._.

The facility was not operating at the time of inspection. We discussed the following: a) I verified the FACFINDER information. No changes were needed. b) I reviewed the facility's bagfilter logbooks. Entries are arranged by process and appeared to be complete and up to date. c) Mr. Snyder stated that production has been very steady and similar to the previous year. d Throughputs: 2016P-25,300,000 —6,600,000 —107,000,000 —59,800,000 —4,300,000 201525,300,000 6,600,000 107,000,000 59,800,000 4,300,000 201425,300,000 —6,600,000 —107,000,000 —59,800,000 —4,300,000 2013 28,406,000 8,954,000 112,694,000 65,974,000 4,324,000 2012 25,298,000 6,602,000 107,164,000 59,752,000 4,294,000 2011 24,000,000 6,000,000 99,866,000 58,556,000 3,834,000 6) Inspection Summary: I was led on a tour of the facility by Mr. Snyder which was not operating at the time. I observed the process from start to finished product. During my last inspection,I observed some dust when trucks were coming and going at the property. This was greatly reduced during this inspection. Mr. Snyder stated that it was due to him hiring a cleaning firm to sweep the driveways a couple of times a month. The facility had been having minor issue with dust coming from the adjacent property eroding on to their travel ways. I observed no problems during the inspection tour. 7) Permit Stipulations: A.2 15A NCAC 2D .0202 &2Q .0304-PERMIT RENEWAL AND EMISSION INVENTORY REQUIREMENT-The facility shall submit a permit renewal request and a completed air emissions inventory at least 90 days prior to permit expiration.
