Directions From Rockingham,take HWY 74 west. B.V.Hedrick is approximately 3.5 miles past where HWY 74 crosses the Pee Dee River. Proceed down the dirt road. The office/scale house is the light colored building on the right.Be mindful of truck traffic. Safety considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment,as well as safety vest.Watch for trains at the railroad tracks just before entering property,as well as large trucks and loaders while on site. 2) Facility and General Description B.V.Hedrick Sand and Gravel is a granite mining operation. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 095721103, effective 12 October 2010 until 30 September 2015.Mike Thomas conducted the last - inspection on 17 June 2013. The bulk of activity at the site is related to B.V.Hedrick's sand mining operation. The sand mining operation does not require an Air Permit.

The facility does not see returning to mining in the foreseeable future. 3) Inspection Conference On 14 May 2014,I Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ, arrived at this facility. I met with Tim Jones, Superintendent and Facility Contact for B.V. Hedrick Sand and Gravel. We discussed the following: a) Verified the FACFINDER information;there have been no changes. b) Mr.Jones informed me that there had not been any mining production during 2013 and that there was no plan to operate the mine in the future. However,the company still wants to maintain the facility's permit. - c) I went through the logbook and noted the following within it: Mr.Jones continues to keep up with weather and rainfall entries where pertinent but most of the other information was null due to no production. i) The required fugitive dust control plan and log was submitted to and approved by DAQ in October 2009.The log has daily entries of mechanical water suppression for fugitive dust,as well as dates it had rained(when suppression was not needed).The log was up to date. ii) Daily tons of crushed stone, as well as monthly total(including 0 tons for all the inactive days). iii) Daily number of unit hours each permitted generator ran,as well as the total monthly NOx emissions for each. The log contains a separate section for each individual generator,noting the hours ran,tons of stone crushed while operating, and any maintenance performed on the unit. iv)The plot plan showing the boundary distance(the shortest distance between any non-road source and the property boundary here) is 441 feet. v) The equipment list and scheme,which contains ID numbers, size/capacity,manufacturing date, and any performance test dates. vi) The most recent spray nozzle inspections on all of the plants were done in May 2013; no corrective actions were needed, as the nozzles were working properly. 4) Inspection Summary(facility was not operating during inspection) Due to the fact that the mining operation has not operated in two years,the inspection tour consisted of a confirmation that the mine is not operating. I also verified that the equipment listed as"in storage"is actually still in storage. 5) Permit Stipulations: a) A.4 2D .0501(c) PRODUCTIONRATE LIMITATION-Production shall not exceed the Maximum _ Allowable Production Rate of 12,000 tons/day and 4,250,000 tons/year,with a boundary distance b/t 300 and 450 feet;records shall be kept indicating so(indicating daily and monthly quantity). Appeared to be in compliance—I viewed the logbooks and the total production of crushed stone in 2013 was 0 tons.The facility has not operated since 2012; it maintains a 12-month rolling production rate in the logbook.The annual production will be far below the production maximum capacity. Boundary distance is 441 ft. b) A.5 2D .0501(c) EQUIPMENT REPORTING—An equipment list shall be kept on site, showing compliance with all permitted requirements. The Permittee must notify FRO if equipment changes are made. Appeared to be in compliance—A diagram of the permitted equipment list is kept on site in a DAQ _ binder, as well as the permitted equipment yet to be brought in, showing the rated capacities,ID numbers,size, and dates. I viewed this list, and it meets all requirements of this facility's permit. c) A.6 213 .0510 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—As required by"Particulates from Sand, Gravel,or Crushed Stone Operations",this operation shall take measures to reduce particulate matter from becoming airborne so as to prevent exceeding the ambient air quality standards beyond the property line for PM; emissions from all operating equipment shall be controlled. Appeared to be in compliance—The crushers, screens,and conveyors are all controlled by a wet suppression water spray system. Facility has not operated since 2012. d) A.7 2D .0521 VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT-Visible emissions from sources post 1 July 1971 shall not be more than 20% opacity. Appeared to be in compliance—Since facility was not operating,I saw 0%VE. e) A.8 2D .0524 NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS(for the processing equipment)- The Permittee shall comply with all NSPS reporting,testing,and recordkeeping requirements as promulgated in 40 CFR 60, Subpart 000.
