MACT/GACT Applicability:Subject to: MACT Subpart ZZZZ—RICE—Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines—facility is an area source for HAPs and has four diesel engines(CI ICE<500HP) on
site.Units T-G10 and XQ60 are "existing" units under this regulation(before 12 June 2006)and will be
required to comply as of May 3,2013.Unit C50-G4 is"new"units(on/after 12 June 2006),will be required to
comply as of May 3,2013 and also are currently required to comply with the requirements of NSPS Subpart
HH.
1) Location
B.V.Hedrick Gravel and Sand is located at 403 B.V.Hedrick Gravel Plant Road,off Hwy 74 East near
Lilesville,NC, in Anson County.
Directions
From FRO,take Hwy 401 South to Wagram. Turn right at Old Wire Road(Hwy144)and go— 11 i/s miles to
Laurel Hill. Turn right at Hwy 74 and go west—30 miles toward Lilesville;you'll pass Rockingham and then
the Pee Dee River. Look for Gravel Plant Road on the left about 5 '/2 miles after crossing the river. There will
be a B.V.Hedrick Gravel and Sand Company sign at entrance of road.Turn left,follow drive, and after
crossing the railroad tracks,you'll see the scale house to the right at entrance to plant. Check in at scale house
and ask for Plant Superintendant Tim Jones.
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 Gravel and Sand Company is a mining facility that primarily produces sand for commercial use
and is permitted for crushing gravel. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No.095721103,effective
from 12 October 2010 until 30 September 2015.Cindy Grimes conducted the last inspection on 13 June 2012.

This facility is a quarry which extracts mainly granite from the earth. The granite and crushed stone products
are loosened by drilling and blasting, and then are loaded by power shovel or front-end loader into large haul
trucks that transport the material to the processing operations. Primary operations include a jaw,which is used
for initial crusher reduction,and a series of conveyors.This crusher product is next fed through a grizzly feeder
for undersize material, and then is discharged onto a conveyor,where it goes through more screening
processes, until it is conveyed to a surge pile for temporary storage or sold as coarse aggregate. The finest
product is sold to customers,who then bag and sell the"sand",which is used mainly in small aquariums.

This production rate is less than half of the production from 2011.
3) Inspection Conference
On 17 June 2013 I Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ,arrived at this facility.I met with Tim Jones, Superintendent
and Facility Contact here. We discussed the following:
a) Verified the FACFINDER information;there have been no changes.

b) Mr.Jones informed me that production was down significantly and that several permitted pieces of
equipment were in storage or no longer at the facility. The only operating unit is the Telesmith 38SBS
Portable Plant.
c) I went through the logbook and noted the following within it:
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.
d) This facility has been using ultra low sulfur diesel fuel(< .0015% S) since 1 October 2010,when it was
required by NSPS to do so. I verified this by observing several of the latest fuel bills of lading.
4) Inspection Summary(facility was not operating during inspection;the Telesmith 38SBS Plant had a belt
that had broken the previous day and it had not yet been replaced, and neither the C50 nor the T-300 Plants
were operating; plant foreman Sam Timmons drove me thru the quarry for the inspection)
a) Crushers,Screens,Conveyors: I observed all of this equipment on site,as well as the water spray
points on each conveyor.All prior inspections of operating crushing units have been at or below 5%VE;
the wet suppression here is good.
b) 125 HP Diesel Generator(Astee G-1): This engine was manufactured in 2008, on site, and ran a total
of 246 hours in 2011.
c) 350 HP Diesel Generator(C50 G4): This engine was manufactured in 2009, on site,and ran for 184
hours in 2011. I
d) 3651W Diesel Engine(T-G10):This engine was manufactured in 2002,on site,and ran for 433'/4 hours
in 2011.
e) 100BP CAT Generator(XQ 60): This engine was manufactured in 2001, on site and ran for 4271/4
hours in 2011.
t) Roads: All roads on site were damp from the facility's water truck,which was continually spraying on
site during my inspection. I observed no fugitive dust problems. There had also been rain the previous
day.
Note: All generators have non-resettable hour meters.

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 2012
was 31,320 tons. The facility ran sporadically during 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

suppression water spray system. I saw no particulate matter/dust beyond the property boundaries, and
there have been no complaints regarding dust.
d) A.7 2D .0521 VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT-Visible emissions from sources
post 1 July 1971 shall not be more than 20% opacity.

rate until September 2010); facility keeps logbook on site showing inspections of the wet suppression
system;NSPS Performance Testing(with the pollutant being visible emissions)was achieved on 4
November 2010 and 28 September 2011 (all tests were compliant with notification,performance,and
