1) Location/Directions
Venture Milling-Ansonville is located at 2755 Old US Hwy 52 North(SR 1627),north of Ansonville,NC.
In Wadesboro,take HWY52 N for 11 miles to Cedar Hill crossroads and turn left onto Old HWY52.The
facility is approximately 2 miles on the left. Office is on the right side of building.

2) Safety Considerations
Standard DAQ safety equipment required. While driving into facility,watch for trucks entering
and exiting; during inspection,be alert for trucks/railcars in receiving and load out areas.There is
no need to travel to the top of the silos at this facility, as emission points are clearly visible from
the ground.
3) Facility and Process Description
Venture Milling-Ansonville,a subsidiary of Perdue Agribusiness, is an animal feed blending
operation,producing feed for poultry growers.This facility is permitted under Air Permit No.
74951108,effective from 2 October 2012 until 30 September 2017. Mike Thomas conducted the
last compliance inspection on 12 May 2016.
The facility blends mineral supplements with various feed stocks including rendered animal
proteins,feather meal, and other ingredients.In the past,the supplements reportedly contained
Manganese in concentrations greater than or equal to 1.0%by weight.As a result,the facility is
subject to NESHAP Subpart 7D"Area Source Standards for Prepared Feeds Manufacturing".The
only listed sources subject to this regulation are the Mineral Additive Mixing and Handling
System and the Truck Loadout Operation(ID Nos.H and J).The facility does not have a
pelleting operation and therefore is not subject to the cyclone requirements of NESHAP Subpart
7D.
There is still a hammermill on-site,however,it is non-operational, and all associated ductwork
and control devices have been removed.

5) Inspection Conference
On 11 May 2017 I,Mike Thomas, of FRO DAQ, met with Evonne Green,a supervisor who handles the
facility's safety and environmental programs. The Facility Contact Joe Potts was unavailable. We
discussed the following:
a) Verified the FACFINDER. No changes were needed.
_ b) Discussed the current production and what factors influence production. Ms. Green stated that the
facility was now only operating Monday through Thursday.
c) I reviewed the maintenance and inspection logbooks for the baghouses. The facility continues to do
weekly inspections of the baghouses and associated ductwork. Entries in the logbook listed what
was done and the person responsible for completing the work.
d) I also reviewed the logbook for cleaning and housekeeping. Ms. Green stated that they conduct
housekeeping inspections and cleaning every week. If conditions merit they will clean some areas
more than once a week. I also observed the logbook where inspections and maintenance of the
loadout shoot is kept.
e) I inquired if there had been any discussion with their management about retaining 7D in the permit
since the permit is up for renewal. Ms. Green stated that it was being discussed but she did not know
the final decision yet.
f) Production:
Year Tons of feed/week
2016 —1,200
2015 —1,100
2014 —2,225
2013 —3,000
6) Inspection Summary
Ms. Green led me on an inspection tour of the facility which was operating at the time of inspection.I
observed the rail and truck receiving areas and the associated bagfilter CD-4. Ms. Green pointed out
that the facility had recently did a like for like replacement on this baghouse. The truck pit receiving
operation was operating(first time I have observed it operating). I observed 5%V.E. as the truck was
unloading. Both areas looked well-maintained,as did the bagfilter. Ms. Green accompanied me to the
truck loadout point,which appeared to be clean and well-maintained. The chute appeared to be in good
condition,with only minor wear visible.

Ms. Green then took me to the ingredient mixing area.I observed little dust accumulation, and the
required housekeeping appeared to be conducted regularly.Ms. Green explained how housekeeping
occurs,and showed me the low-pressure air lines used. She also explained that dust is cleaned up more
regularly than is required by NESIIAP Subpart 71) since it presents safety concern when accumulations
reach a 1/81 inch threshold,possibly resulting in a combustible dust explosion.
7) Permit Stipulations
a) A.2 2Q .0304 PERMIT RENEWAL AND EMISSIONINVENTORY REQUIREMENT—Entire
facility subject. Submit permit renewal application and EI at least 90 days prior to permit
expiration.

application on 15 May 2017.
b) A.3 2D .0515 —PARTICULATES FROMMISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES. —
Particulate control emissions from emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates.
Appeared to be in compliance — Compliance was determined during the most recent permit
review based on operating the source as described in the permit conditions. No changes have
been made to operations since that determination.
c) A.4 21) .0521 — VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Visible emissions from
each emission source shall not be more than 20%opacity.

d) A.5 2D .0535 NOTIFICATIONREQUIREMENT- The facility is required to notify DAQ if
excess emissions occur for more than a 4-hour period caused by a breakdown or other abnormal
condition.

exceedances,breakdowns, or abnormal conditions requiring notification.
e) A.6 213.0540—FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT—The Permittee shall not allow
fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to complaints or excessive emissions beyond the
facility's boundary.
Appears to be in compliance—I did not observe any fugitive dust when driving into the facility,
nor during the inspection.Ms. Green stated that he was unaware of any dust complaints.
f) A.7 2D .0611 —FABRIC FILTER REQUIREMENTS-Requires periodic I&M including,at a
minimum, an annual internal inspection and recordkeeping."
Appears to be in compliance—This facility performs and records weekly inspections and an annual
internal inspection on each bagfilter.All records are well-kept and in good order,and the bagfilters f
appeared to be in good working condition.Maintenance staff takes before and after pictures of the
bagfilters during the annual inspection, as well as the pressure gauges, and attaches them to the
maintenance documents within the logbook. The last annual inspections were completed on 14
March 2017.
g) A.8 2D .1111 - "MAMMUMAVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY"—Area Source Standards for
Prepared Feeds Manufacturing(GACT 7D) -Compliance date for this GACT was 1/5/2012.
Requirements are for: minimizing dust including monthly housekeeping, storing materials
containing Cr and Mn in closed containers,closing mixer when in operation,reducing feed drop

distance in loadout, and keeping doors closed; recordkeeping;NOCS due by 4 May 2012; and
Annual Compliance Certification prepared by March I"each year for the previous year.
Appears to be in compliance—Venture Milling submitted their initial notification and Notice of
Compliance Status before the due dates. Housekeeping at the facility is more stringent than what is
required by NESHAP Subpart 71). Sweeping and vacuuming occurs daily with more intensive
cleaning being conducted on a weekly basis. In addition, cleaning can occur more frequently than
daily if the need arises. All additives are stored in closed containers until they are added to the
covered mixer. The truck loadout point had a chute installed to reduce the distance to the receiving
truck. The chute on the loadout appeared to be in good shape but starting to show some signs of
wear. The facility keeps a log of the maintenance and inspections of the loadout chute. Records
showed the last inspection of the sock took place on 20 April 2017. The Annual Compliance
Certification was prepared on 14 January 2017, and indicated no deviations. As indicated in the
Inspection Conference above the facility does not use any additives that would trigger the 71)
