Directions From Wadesboro,take HWY 74 west for 13.5 miles. The Quickrete facility will be on the left right before the Union County line. Safety Considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment.Be alert to trucks entering and exiting property. 2) Facility and Process Description The Quikrete Company-Peachland is a concrete facility that dries and packages play sand,concrete,mortar and mason mix,and grout. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 06907R08, effective from 25 November 2014 until 31 October 2022. Mike Thomas conducted the last compliance inspection on 19 August 2014. Quikrete is a dry concrete mixing and bagging operation. The facility receives cement and mortar in powder form and stores these materials in silos. The facility dries sand and gravel in a rotary dryer and stores these materials in silos. The materials are metered out of the silos and mixed prior to packaging in 50 pound bags or large bulk bags. Particulate emissions from the silos,the dryer and the mixing/packaging operation are controlled by a total of seven bagfilters. Throughput(raw materials used in 2014-tons): Red sand—53,582; Gravel—29,876;Portland cement— 12,649; masonry cement—3,301; flyash—2,147 a) Permitted Sources One LPG-fired rotary dryer ' ES-1 140 tons per hour maximum throughput CD-8 Bagfilter 20 mmBtu/hr maximum heat input (3,240 square feet of filter area) ES 4 Cement packaging operation CD-2 Bagfilter (2,403 square feet of filter area) ES-6 One Sand silo CD-14 Bagfilter (125 square feet of filter area) One compartment of split silo Bagfilter ES-9S1 (cement or flyash) CD-9 (125 square feet of filter area) ? i� _ ES-9S2 One compartment of split silo CD-9 Bagfilter (cement or flyash) (125 square feet of filter area) S One compartment of split silo Bagfilter 1 E 11S CD-11 (cement or flyash) (125 square feet of filter area) j 'i, One com artment of s lit silo Ba (cement or flyas filter ES-12S CD-12 _ p h) � —i (125 square feet of filter area) j ES 13S !, Two sand/aggregate silos CD-13 Bagfilter (250 square feet of filter area) b) Throughputs for 2014 Employees: 20 in production(same in 2013) 28 total w/drivers and office personnel(same in 2013) Hours: Two shifts(S:OOAM—2:30PM and 2:30PM- 10:30PM), 5 days/week, 52 wks/yr Production: Cement: Portland 14,203 tons Masonry 4,477 tons Total 18, 680tons total (15,950 tons in 2012) Sand: —56,000 tons (same in 2013) Flyash: —2,000 tons (same in 2013) Gravel: —33,000tons (same in 2013) 3) Inspection Conference On 20 August 2015,I,Mike Thomas of DAQ FRO,met with Maury Goodloe,Plant Manager and Facility Contact, and Dave Snyder,Production Manager, at Quikrete-Peachland. We discussed the following: a) Verified the FACFINDER information;no data has changed. b) I viewed all of the maintenance logbooks, in which a separate one is maintained for each source. Either Roy Scales(Maintenance Manager)or Tim Huntley(maintenance)records both the bagfilter inspections and pressure gauge readings weekly. The last annual inspection was conducted on 15 May 2015. 4) Inspection Summary Mr. Goodloe and Mr. Snyder led me on a tour of the facility which was operating. The facility has single silos for dry sand, dry gravel, all purpose sand, and play sand. Two other silos are"split' silos that hold masonry cement and fly ash in one and two compartments of Portland cement. The bagfilters for the silos all appeared to be in good condition and well maintained. The ground around the silos was very clean with no indications of spills or blowouts during loading. I observed no issues in this part of the operation. I observed the rotary dryer and associated LP gas fired burner. Both appeared to be in good working order. I observed 0%V.E. from the baghouse. The packaging system for filling bags is located inside a building. There is a central dust collection system that captures dust that comes from bag filling and from several other points along the packaging process. The system and associated duct work appeared to be well maintained. I observed no problems in this area. 5) Permit Stipulations a) A.3 2D .0515 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT-"Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes",particulate matter emissions from the emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates. Appears to be in compliance—Latest permit review shows compliance. All emission sources are controlled by bag filters. b) AA 2D .0516 SULPHUR DIOXIDECONTROL REQUIREMENT—Sulphur dioxide emissions from dryer ES-I shall not exceed 2.3 pounds per million BTU heat input. Appears to be in compliance—The facility only uses LPG gas for the dryer which is well below the emissions limit. c) A.5 2D .0521 VISIBLE EMISSIONS REQUIREMENT-"Control of Visible Emissions",visible emissions from the emission sources manufactured after July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20% opacity. Appears to be in compliance—I observed 0%VE at all emission sources. d) A.6 2D .0535 NOTIFICATIONREQUIREMENTS—The Permittee of a source of excess emissions lasting more than four hours and that results from a malfunction,breakdown of process or control equipment or any other abnormal conditions shall notify the Director or his designee. Appears to be in compliance—There were no instances of excessive emissions requiring notification. e) A.7 2D .0540 FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT-Facility shall not cause or allow fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess emissions beyond property boundary. Appears to be in compliance—I saw no excessive dust emissions near or beyond the property boundary,and the facility's haul drives are a mixture of gravel and sand in the back, and asphalt on the sides and front.Mr. Goodloe has not received any recent dust complaints. There was an unsubstantiated complaint in 2011but I observed no excessive dust in the surrounding area of the facility. f) A8 2D .0611 FABRIC FILTER REQUIREMENTS-Permitted equipment must be inspected, maintained,and documented in a logbook to ensure that emissions do not exceed the regulatory limits. Appears to be in compliance-All filters appeared to be maintained,with logbook records complete and updated for each. This facility has a maintenance logbook for each silo, and each had recent inspection entries. g) A.9 2Q .0315 LIMITATION TOAVOID 15A NCAC 2Q.0501—To avoid applicability of 15A NCAC 2Q.0501, facility wide PM to emissions shall be less than 100 tons per year. Permittee shall perform an annual inspection of bagfilter system, as well as keep records of all inspection and maintenance. Appears to be in compliance—All records, inventories, and permit reviews indicate compliance. Maintenance does monthly and thorough semiannual inspections on each baghouse. PM io emissions for the facility are just under 2.00 tons/year. 6) 112R Status This facility neither uses nor stores chemical compounds that require a written risk management plan under the Clean Air Act, Section I I2R. 7) Non-compliance History Since 2010 None. 8) Comments and Compliance Statement The Quikrete Company-Peachland appeared to be in compliance on 20 August 2015.
