Dear Mr. Brisson:
On 10 June 2016, Pam Vivian, with the NC Division of Air Quality, Fayetteville Regional
Office, conducted compliance inspections of your facilities, Peanut Processors Inc. —Plant 1 and
Peanut Processors Inc. Plant 2 (Salt), in Dublin, Bladen County,North Carolina. Ms. Vivian met
with Brian Tart, Administrative Accounts Payable, for the compliance inspection of both these
facilities. During this inspection, Ms. Vivian learned that facility contact, Daniel Peterson,
Manager of Technical Services was no longer with your company and a replacement had not
been appointed as the facility contact. Please provide this office with the name and contact
information for the person that will assume the role of facility contact for air quality compliance
inspections at each of these facilities.
Mr. Tart was not able to provide the 2015 and 2016 product throughputs or the amount of
natural gas combusted in 2015 and 2016 for each plant during the inspection. Please provide this
information for each facility.
Mr. Tart was able to provide the air permits for both facilities as well as the log books for
each plant's air emission control devices. The last recorded date of inspection/maintenance for
any device was 24 December 2015. The permit requires periodic inspection and maintenance to
be performed and recorded, with a minimum of an annual inspection. While it appears you have
fulfilled the minimum requirement it should be noted that, historically, your facility personnel
performed and recorded more regular and routine inspections on these devices. We encourage
you to continue with this practice in the future.
Please submit a written response to this office by 6 July 2016, including the quantity of
peanuts processed in 2015 and in 2016 for each plant, the natural gas combusted during these
same time periods for each plant, and the new facility contact information.
