Reference: Stack Test Report and Notification of Compliance Status for
Initial Compliance Test under Case-by-Case MACT
Triangle Brick Company—Wadesboro
Dear Mr.Vozzo:
Enclosed please find the Stack Test Report for Triangle Brick Company's Wadesboro,North
Carolina facility for their Initial Compliance Test for Particulate Matter,Hydrogen Fluoride,and
Hydrogen Chloride. The testing was completed to comply with Section 2.LA 4.c.of the Wadesboro
Permit 08179T08,under the Case-by-Case MACT for Brick Manufacturers.Testing was performed
on September 13,2016.
As shown in the report,the test results demonstrate that Kiln 2 is operating within the allowable
particulate emission rate(0.15 vs 0.171b/ton brick)and the HCI-equivalent emission is less than half
of the plant-wide allowable rate of 9.455 lb/hr. Since Kiln 2 represents half of the plant-wide
capacity,the HCI-equivalent emission rate calculated using the Kiln 2 stack test results was
compared to half of the allowable plant-wide emission limit.
A summary of the stack test results is provided in the table below.

I am submitting this Notification of Compliance Status on behalf of Triangle Brick Company for the
Wadesboro facility. According to Section 2.I.A 4.c compliance testing is required to be done at only
one kiln. Therefore these results serve as the basis for the determination that the Wadesboro facility

is currently operating in compliance with the Case-by-Case MACT requirements set forth in Section
2.1.A 4 of the Wadesboro Permit 08179T08.
Results of the audit sample analysis were received from ERA and Test America on Friday October
28, 2016. Since this is more than 30 days after the stack testing was completed,we are requesting an
extension to the report submittal deadline;the Notification of Compliance is being submitted within
the 60 day period specified in Section 2.LA 4 g.
If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact me at(919) 855-2273.

Beth Barfield
