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 6
January 2010 until 30 December 2014. Cindy Grimes conducted the last compliance inspection on 12 June
2012.
Raw materials such as sand, cement, and gravel are delivered on site.They are dried through the rotary
drum dryer, and then sorted in designated silos.There are 4 separate filling lines at this facility and include
1) Sand line,2) Quikrete cement line,3)Bulk line for 3,000 lb totes of grout or mortar, and 4)Rock line for
�/2 inch marble or gravel bags. After bags are filled within the cement packaging system,they are

temporarily stored in the facility's warehouse and/or delivered to the customer. Lowe's and Home Depot
are the major clients of Quikrete.
Throughput(raw materials used in 2012- tons):
Red sand—53,582; Gravel—29,876; Portland cement— 12,649; masonry—3,301; flyash—2,147

3) Inspection Conference
On 22 May 2013, 1,Robert Hayden,DAQ FRO,met with Maury Goodloe, Plant Manager and Facility
Contact, and Dave Snyder, Production Mgr, at Quikrete-Peachland.We discussed the following:
a) Verified the FACFINDER information; no data has changed.

b) There have been no new sources added or changed since the last compliance inspection in 2012.
c) 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 most recent being the day prior(21 May).
4) Inspection Summary(the dryer and one packaging line were operating during the inspection). No
silo loading occurred.
a) Silo Bag filters(ES-6,ES-9S1,ES-9S2,ES-11S,ES-12S,ES-13S): All bag filters appeared to be in
good condition and repair,as I did not notice any outward problems. Maintenance performs a Vizilite
test on the bag filters biannually,which shows any compromises in the filters. No filling occurred,but
there was no evidence of dust resulting from filling. We discussed the occasional chance for loading at
elevated pressures, which often causes emissions and/or ruptured bags,but Mr Goodloe assured me the
drivers know what's correct and management checks.
b) Packaging Operation(ES-4): The product flow and controls were confusing and not well described
in the previous inspection report, but dust was well controlled.
c) LP Gas-fired Burner and Rotary Dryer(ES-1 and ES-1A,controlled by bagfilter CD-8): This
dryer handles sand or gravel. The input temperature range for the sand is between 300-325 degrees F,
and for the gravel, 225-250 degrees F.The dryer was operating during my inspection,with some
visible emissions from the baghouse vent. It was less than 20%,but last year's inspection indicated
Mr Goodloe acknowledged the issue and assured me they would check and correct ASAP. We
discussed sun angle during emission checks. The maintenance crew checks the readings daily and logs
them into the books weekly,but may not have been using good observation locations.
d) Sand Dryer NSPS UUU Applicability. The last permit modification stated that the sand dryer
predated the NSPS applicability date(1978 vs 1986). I learned that this was based on probability
rather than hard data. There is no documentation or data plate on the unit. The manufacturer was a
small company which since has folded;parts have to be fabricated.
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.
Compliance Indicated—Latest permit review shows compliance. All emission sources are
controlled by bag filters.
b) AA 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.
Compliance Indicated—Three emission sources were operating; two had zero opacity and the sand
dryer had some,but less than 20%.
c) A.6 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.
Compliance Indicated—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 2011, and the facility reacted by installing a new hangar rack to the CD#11 bin vent,as
well as a new rocker arm and hangar bracket to CD#12.
d) A.7 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.
Compliance Indicated-All filters appeared to be maintained(except CD-8, apparently) , with
logbook records complete and updated for each. This facility has a maintenance logbook for each
silo,and each had recent inspection entries.
e) A.8 2Q .0315 LIMITATION TO AVOID 15A NCAC 2Q.0501—To avoid applicability of 15A NCAC
2Q.0501, facility wide PM 10 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.
Compliance Indicated—All records,inventories, and permit reviews indicate compliance.Maintenance
does monthly and thorough semiannual inspections on each baghouse.
6) 112R Status
This facility neither uses nor stores chemical compounds that require a written risk management plan under
the Clean Air Act, Section 112R.
7) DAQ 5-Year Compliance History
None in the last 5 years; NRE in September 2001 for open burning
8) Comments and Compliance Statement
The next permit touch should correct the emission source descriptions. "Silo loading operation"
is a source, not"silo."
IBEAM currently shows a separate emission point for the dryer, when in fact, all emissions go
through the dryer and bag filter vent.
Mr. Goodloe will provide a flow diagram and description to better characterize emissions from
the packing operation. This is"housekeeping"only,with little or no effect on facility emissions
estimation.
The Quikrete Company-Peachland appeared to be in compliance on 22 May 2013.
