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

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
