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.

5) Inspection Conference:
On 22 August 2017,I, Mike Thomas of DAQ FRO, met with Dave Snyder,the Plant Manager and
Facility Contact at Quikrete-Peachland Plant. 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.

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.
