2) Facility and Process Description
Venture Milling-Ansonville is a feed mill blending operation, producing feed for poultry growers. This
facility is permitted under Air Permit No.7495R08,effective from 2 October 2012 until 30 September
2017.Mike Thomas conducted the last compliance inspection on 4 September 2013.
The facility blends mineral supplements with various feed stocks and ingredients. The supplements
contain Manganese in concentrations greater than or equal to 1.0%by weight. As a result,the facility is
subject to NESHAP Subpart 7D"Area Source Standards for Prepared Feeds Manufacturing". The only
listed sources subject to this regulation are the Mineral Additive Mixing and Handling System and the
Truck Loadout Operation(ID Nos.H and J).

3) Inspection Conference
On 17 July 2014,I Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ, met with Evonne Green,Compliance Contact. Joe Potts,the
Plant Manager and Facility Contact,was on vacation. We discussed the following:
a) The facility was not operating during my inspection.
b) I examined the bag filter logbook. Weekly inspections are performed,which include checks on all
systems(receiving,methionic,and pneumatic),the magnehelic gauges, corrosion(for structural
integrity)and leaks.An annual inspection,which includes replacing all the bags was completed on 29
June 2014.The logbook maintained here is excellent. The facility utilizes digital photographs to
document major repairs.
c) The facility is still using the blending premix("Perdue boiler trace mineral premix")that contains 22%
Manganese,thus, subjecting them to NESHAP Subpart 7D.The standard batch of this mixed blend is
low in tonnage,and the usage has dropped dramatically since last year.This is because less feed is being
shipped to its sole customer in the country of Georgia(Note:a bag tag for this premix is already included
within the facility's file folder at FRO).
d) During the last compliance inspection Mr.Potts mentioned that the facility was planning on installing an
additional underground transfer system. Plans for that system were abandoned and a second convey
system was built adjacent to the existing conveyor system. The new conveyor does not increase the
capacity of the receiving area,but gives the facility the ability to simultaneously unload rail and truck.
e) Ms.Green informed me that the facility does not utilize the three storage silos and associated bagfilter, due
to reduced production.
4) Inspection Summary(facility was not operating during inspection)
Ms. Green led me on an inspection tour of the facility. I observed the rail and truck receiving areas and the
associated bagfilter CD-4. Both areas looked well maintained as did the bagfilter. I observed the ingredient
mixing area. All additives are stored in covered, metal bins. I saw no problems in this area. The truck
loadout appeared clean and well maintained. I observed no issues with the loadout chute and sock.
The facility has made many upgrades to their process control systems since the last inspection. These
include automating much of receiving and transfer.
5) Permit Stipulations
a) A.3 213 .0515—PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Particulate control emissions from
emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates.
Appeared to be in compliance—Latest permit review shows compliance.

b) AA 2D .0521 — VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Visible emissions from
emissions sources shall not be more than 20%opacity.
Appeared to be in compliance—This facility was not operating.
c) A.6 2D.0540—FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT—The Permittee shall not allow
fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to complaints or excessive emissions beyond the
facility's boundary.
Appeared to be in compliance—I did not observe any fugitive dust when driving into the facility or
during my inspection.Ms. Green told me that she has not received any complaints and that the facility
has a truck with a water sprayer on it that can be used when conditions are excessively dry. The facility
is located in a remote area with mostly agricultural fields surrounding it.
d) A.7 2D.0611—BAGFILTER REQUIREMENTS- Particulate matter emissions shall be controlled
by the permitted equipment and maintained according to the permit,and all maintenance kept in a
logbook.
Appeared to be in compliance—This facility performs and records biweekly inspections and one annual
inspection per year.All records are well-kept and in good order. The bagfilters appeared to be in good
working condition.Maintenance staff takes before and after pictures of the baghouses during the annual
inspection,as well as the pressure gauges.The pictures are kept within the logbook. The last annual
inspection was on 29 June 2014.
i) c) A.8 2D.1111 "MAXIMUMAVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY"—Area Source Standards for
Prepared Feeds Manufacturing(GACT 7D)-Compliance date for this GACT was 1/5/2012. Requirements
are for:minimizing dust including monthly housekeeping,storing materials containing Cr and Mn in closed
containers,closing mixer when in operation,reducing feed drop distance in load-out, and keeping doors
closed;operating cyclones on the pellet coolers according to good air pollution control practices and
manufacturer's specifications;monthly and quarterly recordkeeping;NOCS due by 4 May 2012; and
Annual Compliance Certification prepared by March I't each year for the previous year.
Appeared to be in compliance—Venture Milling submitted their initial notification and Notice of
Compliance Status before the due dates. Housekeeping at the facility appears to be good. Sweeping and
vacuuming occurs daily with more intensive cleaning being conducted on a weekly basis. All additives are
stored in closed containers until they are added to the covered mixer, All load-outs had socks to reduce the
distance to the receiving container. Socks are inspected and condition recorded monthly. Venture Milling
monitors and records fan amperage daily in correlation to the proper operation of their cyclones. They
inspect cyclones bi-weekly as opposed to the quarterly requirement in 71). The Annual Compliance
Certification was not prepared 25 February 2014 and indicated no deviations.
f) A.9 2D .1806—CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS-The Permittee
shall not allow odorous emissions beyond the facility's boundary.
