1) Directions
1 Quikrete Company-Peachland is located at 13471 Hwy 74 West,right on the Anson/Union County Line, in
Peachland,NC,Anson County. From Wadesboro,take HWY 74 west for 13.5 miles. The Quikrete
facility will be on the left right before the Union County line.
2) Safety Considerations
Standard DAQ safety equipment. Be alert to trucks entering and exiting property.

3) Facility and Process Description
The Quikrete Company-Peachland is a dry concrete mixing facility that dries and packages play sand,
concrete,mortar and mason mix, and grout. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 06907R09,
effective from 25 November 2014 until 31 October 2022.
The facility receives cement and mortar in powder form and stores these materials in silos. The
facility dries sand and gravel in a rotary dryer and stores these materials in silos. The facility has
single silos for dry sand/gravel, all-purpose sand, and play sand. The fourth is a"split"silo that holds
masonry cement,fly ash, and Portland cement. The materials are metered out of the silos and mixed
prior to packaging in 50 pound bags or large bulk bags. Particulate emissions from the silos,the
dryer and the mixing/packaging operation are controlled by a total of seven bagfilters.
The packaging system for filling bags is located inside a building. There is a central dust collection
system that captures dust that comes from bag filling and from several other points along the
packaging process.
The company has 30 employees(including drivers)and operates two shifts(5:OOAM—2:30PM and 2:30PM-
10:30PM), 5 days/week, 52 wks/yr. Silos are typically filled at the end of first shift, so a later PM inspection
would be in order to see a filling. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 06907R09,effective from
November 25, 2014 until October 31,2022. Mike Thomas conducted the last compliance inspection on 20
Aug. 2015.

4) Inspection Summary
On 28 July 2016,Mike Thomas and I,Dan Thoma,both of DAQ FRO,met with Dave Snyder,the
new Plant Manager and Facility Contact at Quikrete-Peachland Plant. The former contact,Maury
Goodloe,retired. I updated the information on the FACFINDER report with the information
provided by Mr. Snyder. When asked if there were any changes made to the facility since the last
inspection in 2015,Mr. Snyder stated that a bin vent was replaced with a baghouse and increased the
filter area for the flyash handling by an additional 125 sq. feet. Mike informed him that this change
should be covered by 15A NCAC 2Q .0318 but Mr. Snyder should contact Greg Reeves to discuss
the change and get all the appropriate documentation to ensure that the facility is in compliance with
their permit.
Mr. Snyder did mention that they lost the contract with Lowes and that they would likely see a 25%
reduction in total production for 2016 and 2017. The reduction would have been greater but is offset
by an increase in super sack production that contractors use.

We were then led on a tour of the facility by Mr. Snyder which was not operating at the time. He
walked us through the entire process from start to finish. We observed the stockpiles of sand and
gravel outside and watched a truck unloading some gravel There was some dust from truck traffic
and from unloading aggregate. Mr. Snyder stated that they are taking steps to better control fugitive
dust. They are contracting with a company to sweep the paved areas around the plant monthly and
was looking into a wet suppression sprinkler system instead of manually spraying down areas with
hoses. While inside by the packaging operation,Mr. Snyder mentioned that they are in the process of
reworking the super sack filling operation to eliminate the conveyor which will greatly reduce dust
from this operation.
