Hedrick Gravel and Sand is located at 403 B.V. Hedrick Gravel Plant Road, off Hwy 74 East near Lilesville,NC, in Anson County. Directions From Rockingham,take HWY 74 west, B.V. Hedrick is approximately 3.5 miles past where HWY 74 crosses the Pee Dee River. Proceed down the dirt road. The office/scale house is the light colored building on the right.Be mindful of truck traffic. Safety considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment,as well as safety vest.Watch for trains at the railroad tracks just before entering property,as well as large trucks and loaders while on site. 2) Facility and General Description B:V.Hedrick Sand and Gravel is a granite mining operation. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 09572R03, effective 12 October 2010 until 30 September 2015.Mike Thomas conducted the last inspection on 14 May 2014. B.V.Hedrick Gravel and Sand Company is a mining facility that primarily produces sand for commercial use and is permitted for crushing gravel. This facility is a quarry which extracts mainly granite from the earth.The granite and crushed stone products are loosened by drilling and blasting, and then are loaded by power shovel or front-end loader into large haul trucks that transport the material to the processing operations.Primary operations include a jaw,which is used for initial crusher reduction,and a series of conveyors. This crusher product is next fed through a grizzly feeder for undersize material, and then is discharged onto a conveyor,where it goes through more screening processes,until it is conveyed to a surge pile for temporary storage or sold as coarse aggregate. The finest product is sold to customers,who then bag and sell the"sand,"which is used mainly in small aquariums. Crushers, conveyors and power screens are all electric,with generators powered by diesel engines. There are no emergency generators. The bulk of activity at the site is related to B.V. Hedrick's sand mining operation. The sand mining operation does not require an Air Permit. All sand operations are water-suppressed. a) Permitted Sources Ching and Feeding Operations Wet suppression water Crushing Crushers(NSPS) Not operating.

The facility does not see returning to mining in the foreseeable future. 3) Inspection Conference _ On 3 June 2015,I Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ, arrived at this facility. I met with Tim Jones, Superintendent and Facility Contact for B.V. Hedrick Sand and Gravel. We discussed the following: a) Verified the FACFINDER information;there have been no changes. b) Mr. Jones informed me that there had not been any mining production during 2014 and that there was no plan to operate the mine in the future. c) I inquired about the facility's dust control plan and Mr. Jones showed me a copy of the existing plan and stated that they are still following it to control dust. 4) Inspection Summary(facility was not operating during inspection) Mr.Jones led me on a tour of the facility to confirm that the mine is not operating. I also verified that the generators listed as being in storage are still in storage at the facility. 5) Permit Stipulations: a) A.4 2D .0501(c) PRODUCTION RATE LIMITATION—Production shall not exceed the Maximum Allowable Production Rate of 12,000 tons/day and 4,250,OOO tons/year,with a boundary distance b/t 300 and 450 feet;records shall be kept indicating so(indicating daily and monthly quantity).
