2) Facility and Process Description
Lisk Sand is a bulk hauling company that specializes in industrial and abrasive material hauling. This
facility is permitted under Air Permit No.09580R01,effective from 12 October 2010 to 30 September
2015. Mike Thomas conducted the last compliance inspection on 4 September 2014.
Lisk Sand receives dried sand from an outside vendor(currently Unimin Corporation in Richmond
County). The sand is offloaded via pneumatic truck into a silo located inside a building. The sand is
then gravity fed to a bagging machine to produce various size packages,which are stacked on pallets
prior to shipping to customers via truck. The facility produces play sand and sandblasting sand
products. The silo filling and packaging operations are controlled by a simple cyclone in series with a
cartridge type fabric filter. There are no fuel combustion devices on site. There are no emergency
generators.
a) Throughputs for 2014
Employees: 2(same in 2013)
Hours: 8 hrs/day(not bagging all the time), 2-3 days/week, 50 weeks/year(same in 2013)

3) Inspection Conference
On 3 June 2015, I,Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ conducted a compliance inspection of this facility. I met
with facility contact,Mr. Chris Tucker. This was an arranged inspection to assist with Emissions
Inventory.We discussed the following:
a) I verified the FACFINDER information.
b) I assisted Mr. Tucker with preparing his inventory and entering it into AERO. I hand delivered
the completed inventory submission to Greg Reeves, Permit Coordinator at FRO.

4) Inspection(facility was operating during inspection)
Mr. Tucker led me on a tour of the facility. Bagging only occurs a few days during the week due to
reduced product demand.The bagging operation is dependent on the supply truck,the silo, and the
bagging machine all working simultaneously. The supply truck is attached to the silo and allowed to build
_ pressure(l Opsi) for a few minutes and to allow partial filling of the silo. Once pressure is obtained the
bagging machine is started and bag filling proceeds. The speed and continuous nature of how the system
works does not allow for over filling of the silo. In addition,the two operators have visual clues from the
movement of the pneumatic line to the rate of bag filling to indicate that the system is running at the
appropriate pressure. Waste from the baghouse is collected in covered 50 gallon drums. The drums are
emptied approximately once a week. The waste is stockpiled at the facility and then disposed of at the
landfill. I observed 0%V.E. from the baghouse and cyclone during operation.
I observed the maintenance records for the cyclone and baghouse. Both control devices had detailed logs
documenting inspections and maintenance actions. The bags in the baghouse were replaced on 4 February
2014.
5) Permit Stipulations
a) A.4 2D .0510 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—"Particulates from Sand, Gravel, or
Crushed Stone Operations"—The Permittee shall reduce particulate matter, so as not to exceed

property boundary. If conditions are abnormally dry,the facility will use wet suppression.

allow fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to complaints or excessive visible emissions
beyond the property boundary.
In Compliance-Ilaul roads,which are a dirt/gravel mix,appeared to be adequately controlled during
my inspection. The facility has received no dust complaints.
d) A.8 2D .0611 CYCLONE REQUIREMENTS—Particulate matter emissions shall be controlled as
described in the permitted equipment list.
