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. Josh Harris and Robert
Hayden,both of FRO DAQ conducted the last compliance inspection on 27 May 2015. j
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(I)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 12 May 2016 I, Mike Thomas, of FRO DAQ,met with Joe Potts,the Plant Manager and Facility
Contact and.Evonne Green, a supervisor who handles the facility's safety and environmental programs.
We discussed the following:
a) Verged the FACFINDER. No changes were needed.
b) Discussed the current production and what factors influence production. According to Mr.Potts,the
facility's production is directly related to the price of soybeans. If the price of soybeans drops
significantly below the price of their product then their consumers buy soybeans instead.
c) I reviewed the maintenance and inspection logbooks for the baghouses. The facility continues to do
bi-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 the facility is still using additives that contain Cr and Mn in the percentages that trigger
the 7D requirement. Ms. Green stated that it was her belief that the facilities supplements have
never contained Cr and MN. She then provided me with a list of all of the supplements that the
facility uses.
f) Production:
Year Tons of feed/week
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 not operating at the time due to the
facility waiting on deliveries to continue production for the day. I observed the rail and truck receiving
areas and the associated bagfilter CD-4. 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.
i

i
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 NESHAP Subpart 7D since it presents safety concern when accumulations
reach a 1/8'inch threshold,possibly resulting in a combustible dust explosion.
7) Permit Stipulations
a) A.2 2Q .0304 PERMIT RENEWAL AND EMISSIONINVENTORYREQUIREMENT—Entire
facility subject. Submit permit renewal application and EI at least 90 days prior to permit
expiration.
Appeared to be in compliance—The deadline for the facility to submit their EI and permit
renewal was 1 September 2012. The facility submitted both their EI on 8 August 2012 and the
permit renewal application on 13 August 2012.
b) A.3 2D .0515 —PARTICULATES FROMMISCELLANEOVS INDUSTRL9L 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 2D .0521 — VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Visible emissions from
each emission source shall not be more than 20%opacity.
Appeared to be in compliance—The facility was not operating during my inspection. I did not
observe any areas where PM had built up that might indicate that there are any issues with V.E.
d) A.5 213 .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.
Appears to be in compliance—According to Mr. Potts, the facility has had no exceedances, j
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.Mr. Potts stated that he was unaware of any dust complaints.
A.7 2D .0611 —FABRIC FILTER REQUIREMENTS-Requires periodic I&M including, at
a minimum, an annual internal inspection and recordkeeping."
f) 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
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 16
March 2016.
g) A.8 2D .I I I I - "AMMMUMAVAILABLE 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 1st 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 7D. 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
jshowed the last inspection of the sock took place on 15 April 2016. The Annual Compliance
Certification was prepared on 20 January 2016, and indicated no deviations. As indicated in the
Inspection Conference above Ms. Green and Mr. Potts stated that the facility has never used additives
that contain Cr or Mn in the production of their products and feel like the corporate office just made a
_ blanket statement regarding the facility being subject to 7D. Ms. Green gave me the following list of
additives: ethoxyquin,termin-8 choline P vitamin premix, P trace mineral, Copper Chloride, Pigmet
(dry),threonine,DL methionine,lysine,ravabio AP 10%,and salt. Upon returning to the office I
conducted an internet search for each of these additives and was able to determine that all of them are
either amino acids or preservatives used in the prepared food industry. None of which contain Cr or
Mn. I briefly discussed the facility requesting to not be subject to 71). Ms. Green stated that they
would contact their Corporate office and inform them that they are not required to comply with 7D.
She was uncertain what Corporate's response will be.
i
h) A.9 21) .1806—CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS-There shall be
no odorous emissions from facility that causes or contributes to objectionable odors beyond the
facility's boundary.
Appears to be in compliance—No objectionable odors were noted while approaching the facility,
nor while on-site during the inspection. Mr.Potts stated that he was unaware of any complaints
regarding odor.
8) 112R Status
This facility neither uses,nor stores, chemical compounds that require a written risk management plan
under the Clean Air Act, Section 112R.
9) Non-compliance history since 2010
The facility has had no negative compliance issues since 2010.
i
10) Comments and Compliance Statement
Venture Milling-Ansonville appeared to be in compliance on 12 May 2016.
Pink Sheet: Facility indicates they are not using products that contain Cr or Mn and are therefore not
currently subject to NESHAP 7D. However,the rule requires the facility to submit a notification to this
office,containing specified information,to be exempted from the rule. I briefly discussed this with Ms.
Green and Mr.Potts.
