1) Location
Edwards Wood Products Inc. -Peachland is located at 160 Pulpwood Yard Road,west of Peachland,NC in
Anson County.
Directions
From Wadesboro,take HWY 74 west for 13.5 miles. Pulpwood Yard Road will be on the right and runs into
the Edwards Wood facility. If Mr.Fincher is not at the boiler building then you will need to call him at the
Marshville office(phone number above)and have him meet you there. The Marshville office is only a few
minutes away from the Peachland facility.
Safety Considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment.Watch for lumber trucks on haul roads and forklifts in
kiln and warehouse areas.
2) Facility and Process Description
Edwards Wood Products,Inc. is a hardwood sawmill and lumber drying kiln facility. This facility is
permitted under Air Permit No. 10146R01,effective from 27 September 2012 until 30 June 2016.The
facility was last inspected by Mike Thomas on 7 August 2014.
Edwards Wood Products, Inc.produces rough-cut green and kiln-dried hardwood lumber.No finished
lumber is produced at this facility. Green hardwood logs are brought to the facility by truck,the logs are
debarked,and then sawn into green dimension lumber. Some of the green lumber is dried in eight(8)steam-
heated lumber drying kilns. Steam is provided by a small wet wood-fired boiler using self-generated sawdust
from the sawmill at this facility.

3) Inspection Conference
On 20 August 2015, I Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ,met with Robbie Fincher,Drying Manager, We discussed
the following:
a) Verified the FACFINDER information;No changes required.
b) I reviewed the daily log that is kept for measuring their wood combustion. Mr.Fincher keeps a written
log that is kept in the boiler area, and an electronic log is also kept that includes gross weight,tare
weight,net weight, and boiler saw dust loading rate(lbs/hr). All entries were up to date and complete.
4) Inspection Summary
Mr. Fincher led me on a tour of the facility,which was operating.I verified the specifications of the boiler
ES-1. I also observed the automated fuel loading system for the boiler. This system consists of vibrating
conveyor that brings sawdust from the other parts of the plant to the boiler. Sawdust is then conveyed into the
fire box automatically. The boiler was being fired at a rate of 5500 lbs/hr of steam production during this
inspection. The boiler provides heat for 8 steam heated lumber kilns ES—2 and ES—3. I observed no
problems with the boiler system. V.E.was 5%.
Mr. Fincher showed me the band saw mill and the circular saw mill, which are listed as insignificant sources.
I saw no problems with these sources.
5) Permit Stipulations
a) A.3 2D .0504 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—"Particulates from Wood Burning
Indirect Heat Exchangers"-Particulate matter emissions shall not exceed 0.41 lbs/mmBTU.
Appears to be in compliance—The AP-42 factor for particulates from wood is 0.347 lbs/mmBTU,
which is below the maximum allowable.
b) AA 2D .0515 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—"Particulates from Miscellaneous
Industrial Processes"—Particulate matter emissions shall not exceed>30 tons/hr.

c) A.5 2D.0516 SULFUR DIOXIDE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Sulfur Dioxide emissions from
wood-fired boiler shall not exceed 2.3 lbs/mmBTU.
Appears to be in compliance-The facility combusts only wood, and the AP-42 emissions factor
for SO2 for wood combustion is 0.025 lbs/mmBtu,which is well below the maximum allowable.
d) A.6 2D .0521 VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Visible emissions from
the emission sources shall not be more than 20% in opacity.
Appears to be in compliance—I did not observe any emissions>20% in opacity.
c) A.7 2D .0524 NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS—For the wood-fired boiler,the
Permittee shall comply with notification,testing,reporting,recordkeeping and monitoring requirements.
Appears to be in compliance—Initial notification was received on 7 September 2011. Facility keeps

limited to 1.17 tons/hr,not exceeding 3,030 tons per consecutive 12-month period. Records shall be
kept demonstrating compliance for these limits.
Appears to be in compliance—An air dispersion modeling analysis was conducted on 6 June 2011,
which showed compliance with the applicable ambient air limits(AALs)for the mentioned pollutants
at the facility's property boundaries.According to the logbook,the facility is burning 2.75 tons of
wood a day(0.11 tons/hour)which is well below the permitted limit of 1.17 tons per hour. The

potential to exceed TPER of 0.37 lbs/yr, although the expected actual emissions are below the TPER
and do not require modeling). The process has not been changed since the permit review.
