Dear Mr.Anderson:
In accordance with your completed Air Quality Permit Application for renewal of a Title V permit
received September 26, 2017, we are forwarding herewith Air Quality Permit No. 03085T32 to Valley
Proteins—Lewiston Division,3539 Governors Road,Lewiston-Woodville,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 being
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 ad judicatory 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) 15013-23, and filed with both the Office of
Administrative Hearings,6714 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714 and the Division of
Air Quality,Permitting Section, 1641 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1641. The form
for requesting a formal adjudicatory hearing may be obtained upon request from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. Please note that this permit will be stayed in its entirety upon receipt of the request for a.hearing.

You may request modification of your Air Quality Permit through informal means pursuant to NCGS
150E-22. This request must be submitted in writing to the Director and must identify the specific provisions
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.
The construction of new air pollution emission source(s)and associated air pollution control device(s),or
modifications to the emission source(s) and air pollution control device(s) described in this permit must be
covered under an Air Quality Permit issued by the Division of Air Quality prior to construction unless the
Permittee has fulfilled the requirements of NCGS 143-215.108A(b) and received written approval from the
Director of the Division of Air Quality to commence construction. failure to receive an Air Quality Permit
or written approval prior to commencing construction is a violation of NCGS 143-215.108A and may subject
the Permittee to civil or criminal penalties as described in NCGS 143-215.114A and 143-215.114B.
Bertie County has Lriggered PSD increment tracking for PMl0, SO2, and NOx. This permit renewal is
not expected to consume or expand any increment for any tracked pollutant.
