1) Location
Venture Milling-Ansonville is located at 2755 Old US Hwy 52 North(SR 1627),north of Ansonville,NC,
Directions
The facility is located 14 miles north of the intersection of Business 74 and HWY 52 N. 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.
Safety considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment required. While driving into facility,watch for
trucks entering and exiting on haul roads; 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.
2) 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 17 July 2014.
The facility blends mineral supplements with various feed stocks including rendered animal proteins,
feather meal, and other ingredients.The blended product is then loaded onto trucks, and shipped out
to a single customer. The supplements contain 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, therefore it 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.
a) Current Throughputs
Employees: 16
Hours: 24hrs/day, 5 days/wk, 52 wks/year(3 shifts)
(3`d shift employees are mainly unloading railcars or restocking commodities)
Production: The facility is operating at a lower capacity than normal due to decreased
demand,and currently averages approximately 8,900 tons per month.

3) Inspection Conference
On 26 May 2015,Robert Hayden and I, Joshua Harris,both of FRO DAQ,met with Joe Potts,the Plant
Manager and Facility Contact to conduct an annual compliance inspection of Venture Milling-Ansonville.
Mr. Potts directed us to Evonne Green, a supervisor who handles the facility's safety and environmental
programs.Ms.Green was very knowledgeable of the facility's process and operating conditions,and was able
to produce all requested documentation. We discussed the following:
a) The facility was operating at the time of the inspection.
b) I examined the bag filter logbook. Weekly inspections are performed,which include checks on all
systems(receiving,methionic, and pneumatic),the magnehelic gauges,corrosion(for structural
integrity) and leaks. Annual internal inspections for all three bagfilters were completed on 22 and 23
May 2015.The logbook is well-maintained,and included digital photographs to document maintenance
and major repairs.
c) The facility is still using the blending premix("Perdue boiler trace mineral premix")that contains 22%
Manganese,thus, subjecting them to NESHAP Subpart 7D.The standard batch of this mixed blend is
low in tonnage,and the facility uses significantly less since production has been cut down to about 33%
of the normal operating capacity.This is because less feed is being shipped to its sole customer in the

country of Georgia(Note: a bag tag for this premix is already included within the facility's file folder at
FRO).
d) Ms. Green informed us that the facility does not currently utilize the three storage silos due to reduced
production. CD-3 and CD-5 are only operated when the silos are used,however,the bagfilters are still
inspected and maintained in accordance with facility's permit.
4) Inspection Summary
Ms.Green led us on an inspection tour of the facility.We 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
us to the truck loadout point,which appeared to be clean and well-maintained. We were able to observe the
automated truck loadout in operation. The chute appeared to be in good condition, and we observed no dust
emissions during the loadout.
Ms.Green then took us to the ingredient mixing area.We observed little dust accumulation,and the required
housekeeping appeared to be conducted regularly. Ms. Green explained how housekeeping occurs, and
showed us 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 1/81 inch
threshold. Past 1/81 of an inch of accumulation,there is a combustible dust hazard, so dust is cleaned up
multiple times each week as a preventative measure.
5) Permit Stipulations
a) A.3 2D .0515—PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT-Particulate control emissions from
emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates.
APPEARED INCOMPLIANCE—Latest permit review shows compliance.
b) AA 2D .0521 — VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Visible emissions from each
emission source shall not be more than 20%opacity.
APPEARED INCOMPLIANCE—Each emission source was observed, with 0%opacity noted at each
operating source.
c) A.6 2D.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.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE— We did not observe any fugitive dust when driving into the facility,
nor during the inspection. Wet suppression via a truck with a water sprayer is used when conditions are
excessively dry. The facility is located in a remote area with mostly agricultural fields surrounding it.
d) A.7 21).0611—BAGFILTER REQUIREMENTS-Particulate matter emissions shall be controlled by
the permitted equipment and maintained according to the permit, and all maintenance kept in a
logbook.
APPEARED IN COMPLIANCE—This facility performs and records weekly inspections and one annual
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 22 and 23 May 2015.

e) A.8 2D .1111 - "MAXIMUMAVAILABLE 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 1't each year for the previous year.
APPEARED 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 NASHAP Subpart 7D. Sweeping and vacuuming occurs daily with more intensive cleaning
being conducted on a weekly basis.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 is inspected monthly and appeared to be in great shape when we observed the truck being loaded.
The Annual Compliance Certification was prepared on 26 January 2015, and indicated no deviations.
f) A.9 21) .1806—CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS-The Permittee
shall not allow odorous emissions beyond the facility's boundary.
APPEARED INCOMPLIANCE—No objectionable odors were noted while approaching the facility,
nor while on-site during the inspection.
6) 112R Status
This facility neither uses,nor stores,chemical compounds that require a written risk management plan under
the Clean Air Act, Section 112R.
7) Non-compliance history since 2010
The facility has had no negative compliance issues since 2010.
