3) Inspection Conference
On 4 September 2013, I Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ, met with Evonne Green, Compliance Contact,and Joe
Potts,Plant Manager. We discussed the following:
a) Some of the FACFINDER information has changed.Mr. Joe Potts will be the new Facility Contact
_ since he is the plant manager and on site daily. Mr. Potts informed me that the name of the facility .
was changed to Perdue AgSolutions LLC in April 2013. They will be sending in the appropriate paper
work to document the name change.
b) The facility was not operating during my inspection due to having run out of ingredients.
c) 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 2013.The housing unit has also been repaired in previous years.The logbook maintained here is
excellent. The facility utilizes digital photographs to document major repairs.
d) 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).
e) Mr. Potts showed me the location where the new underground transfer system will be. This system will
not have significant emissions associated with it,nor will it increase production rates due to the facility
only being able to receive one truck at a time. Construction of the new system will start imminently.
4) Inspection Summary(facility was not operating during inspection)
a) Railcar and Truck Receiving(ES-A and ES-B): Railcars and trucks unload at these areas. The truck
pit is choke-fed and emissions are controlled by bagfilter ID No. CD-L The bag filter appeared to be in
good condition,with no visual indications of any compromises.
b) Pneumatic Truck Receiver(ES-C): I went to the top of the silo to view the bagfilter(ID No. CD-2)
for this limited operation(D,L-Methionine silo). This operation is currently not being run and there
are no plans in the near future to start producing the associated product again.
c) Bin inspection holes with covers: In 2007, some of the covers were rusted completely through where
the metal meets the cement(again,this was due to the use of salt). These covers have been replaced and
still appeared to be in good condition.
d) Truck Load out(ES-H) and Truck Load out spouts (I-SI,2,3): I saw no problems in this area. The
3 mobile load-out spouts are only used with special feed supplement mixes.
e) Hammer Mill (ES-D): Was removed from the permit in December 2007 but it physically still at the
facility though no longer operating. I saw no evidence of it having been used.

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.

inspection, as well as the pressure gauges. The pictures are kept within the logbook.
i) e) A.8 2D.1111 "MAXIMUMAYAILABLE 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

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
