Dear Mr. Horne:
On 8 August 2017, Jeffrey Cole, with the Fayetteville Regional Office Division of Air
Quality (FRO DAQ), met with Mr. Dale Kelly, Plant Engineer, and conducted an air quality
compliance inspection at your facility,Hornwood Inc., in Lilesville,NC. This inspection was to
verify the repairs and upgrades on the condenser/mist eliminator controls (CD-1 and CD-2)that were
detailed in your 22 May 2017 response to the 28 April 2017 Compliance Additional Information
letter sent to you from this office.
Visible emission observations of both CD-1 and CD-2 appeared to be well within the
permitted emissions limits during this inspection. Mr. Kelly explained the issues that the
comprehensive internal inspections of each condenser/mist eliminator had uncovered, how they had
been repaired, and the upgrades that added additional cooling water to the units. Mr. Kelly also
spoke about implementing additional inspections and maintenance(I&M)and additional parametric
monitoring to detect if the control device performance was degrading and allow for corrective action
prior to exceeding emission standards in the future.
The expanded Operations, Inspections and Maintenance Plan, as explained by Mr. Kelly
appears to be a significant step forward with respect to your facility's compliance with the air quality
permit. Please provide a written copy of the expanded Operations, Inspections and Maintenance Plan
that includes the additional I&M and parametric monitoring efforts your facility plans to implement
to ensure these emission controls are maintained and are properly operating to control emissions.
Please provide this documentation as soon as possible, but no later than 25 October 2017.
The Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Air Quality appreciates your prompt attention
to this matter. If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact Jeffrey Cole,
Environmental Engineer, or Heather Carter, Compliance Coordinator,at 910-433-3300.
Sincerely,
