Lisk Sand is located at 6975 NC Hwy 742 North,NW of Wadesboro,NC,Anson County. In
Wadesboro,turn right onto Hwy 52 North at the western part of town, drive almost%Z mile,and then
turn left onto Hwy 742 North. Go—7 miles, and facility will be on the left hand side 1 mile past

Red Hill-Mount Vernon Road to the right). Once facility is seen,go a short way and turn left onto
Luke White Road(there's a sign saying"Lisk Trucking-Main Office"), and then another quick left
into office parking lot.
2) Safety Considerations
Standard DAQ safety equipment. Watch for trucks entering and exiting,as Lisk Trucking Company is here,
also.
3) Facility and Process Description
Lisk Sand is a bulk hauling company that specializes in industrial and abrasive material hauling. The
facility receives dried sand from an outside vendor(currently Unimin Corporation in Richmond County).
The sand is offloaded via pneumatic truck into a silo located inside a building. The sand is then gravity fed
to a bagging machine to produce various size packages,which are stacked on pallets prior to shipping to
customers via truck. The facility produces play sand and sandblasting sand products. The silo filling and
packaging operations are controlled by a simple cyclone in series with a cartridge type fabric filter. There
are no fuel combustion devices on site. There are no emergency generators.

5) Inspection Conference
On 11 October 2017,I,Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ conducted a compliance assurance visit of this facility.
I met with facility contact,Mr. Chris Tucker. Mr.Tucker led me on a tour of the facility. Bagging only
occurs once or twice a week.I verified with Mr. Tucker that the bagging operation still operates as
follows: the bagging operation is dependent on the supply truck,the silo,and the bagging machine all
working simultaneously. The supply truck is attached to the silo and allowed to build pressure(1 Opsi)for
a few minutes and to allow partial filling of the silo. Once pressure is obtained the bagging machine is
started and bag filling proceeds. The speed and continuous nature of how the system works does not allow
for over filling of the silo. In addition,the two operators have visual cues from the movement of the
pneumatic line to the rate of bag filling to indicate that the system is running at the appropriate pressure.
Waste from the baghouse is collected in covered 50 gallon drums. The drums are emptied approximately
once a week. The waste is stockpiled at the facility and then disposed of at the landfill. The facility was
not operating during the inspection,however,I did not observe any accumulations of PM that would
indicate possible problems with V.E.

I observed the maintenance records for the cyclone and baghouse. Both control devices had detailed logs
documenting inspections and maintenance actions. The facility is doing a good job of maintaining records
1 since rescinding their permit.
