Main concern at this facility is truck traffic and potential head bumps when ducking under pipes to view emission sources. 3) Facility and Process Description The facility currently consists of two LPG fired grain driers,eight grain storage bins,two receiving pits,and a grain loadout. The facility does not make feed;the facility is a grain storage site only. Grain is brought in by truck and then unloaded by dump pit. The grain is then screw conveyed either to a storage bin or is sent to one of the dryers first, and then to a storage bin. Stored corn and wheat are then sent to other Prestage locations to make feed and soybeans are sold to Cargill. The typical season for wheat is last of May to 2nd week in June. Corn season is mid-August to September and soybean season is November to January. Corn is dried from 21%moisture to I S%. Wheat is dried from 19%to 15%moisture. Soybeans are dried from 15%moisture to 12%.The driers can dry the grain at a rate of 1,725 bushels/hr and 5,400 bushels/hr, respectively. The facility operates 7AM-5PM,M-F, and has 1 employee.
