3) Inspection Conference
On 12 June 2012,I(Cindy Grimes), met with Maury Goodloe,Plant Manager and Facility Contact, and
David Allred,Manager-in-Training,at Quikrete-Peachland. We discussed the following:
a) Verified the FACFINDER information; no data has changed.Mr. Allred is here only for training
purposes for another Quikrete facility.
b) There have been no new sources added or changed since the last compliance inspection in 2011. The
facility did install an indoor automated bagging system earlier this year. Even though several
employees lost their jobs,this system seems to be a more effective and productive method of bagging.
There were no emission sources affected by this addition.
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 bagfi Iter
inspections and magna helix manometer readings weekly. They also visually check them daily.The
most recent updates on any equipment include a new magnehelic gauge(installed on the outside of
the dryer in 2009) and a new steel cover on the dryer in 2010.

The latest bag changes were the following: Vizilite testing in all bag houses:
a) Sand—January 2010 a) April 2011 and May 2012
b) Flyash—April 2010
c) Type S (Masonry)—September 2011
d) Portland—September 2011
e) Gravel—January 2010
f) Dryer—September 2010
d) Quikrete has recently added another product to its production line. They bring in bulk"lava rocks"
and package them in 15 lb bags.No drying or any other process is performed.
4) Inspection Summary(the facility was operating during my inspection)
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. I observed 0% VE.
b) Cement Packaging Operation(ES-4): Each bagging operation has its own bag filter associated with
it. There are multiple product lines, but they are essentially the same in regard to emissions. Some of
the piping has been replaced over the years in this area due to normal wear and tear. This facility has
recently installed a mechanical/automated system that automatically bags the product(cement, sand, or
gravel), stacks on a pallet, and then plastic-wraps the product onto the pallet. Some packaging is still
done manually. The new bagging operation does not affect any of the bagfilter control systems.
c) LP Gas-fired Burner and Rotary Dryer(ES-1 and ES-1A): 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, and I saw no obvious problems, with the VE
being 0%opacity. A new magnehelic manometer was installed on the dryer in 2009 to record the
various drops of pressure within the bag house.The maintenance crew checks the readings daily and
logs them into the books weekly.
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.
b) A.4 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—The facility was operating during my inspection, and I observed 0% VE
from all emission sources.
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 dust complaints,though I was here in September 2011
to investigate a dust complaint that had been made through DAQ FRO. The investigation ended up
with no violations, although because of the complaint,the facility did install a new hangar rack to
the CD#I I 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 in good working condition, with logbook records
complete and updated for each. This facility has a maintenance logbook for each silo, and each had
recent inspection entries. Maintenance does monthly and thorough semiannual inspections on each
baghouse.
e) A.8 2Q .0315 LIMITATION TOA VOID ISA NCAC2Q.0501—To avoid applicability of 15A NCAC
2Q.0501, facility wide PM 10 emissions shall be less than 100 tons per year. Perm ittee 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) Reporting Requirements
The current permit requires no reporting stipulations.
7) 112R Status
This facility neither uses nor stores chemical compounds that require a written risk management plan
under the Clean Air Act, Section 112R.
8) DAQ Compliance History
a) 8 September 2011-Complaint for excessive dust coming from facility; investigation resulted in no
violations
b) 24 September 2001 —NRE for open burning
9) Comments and Compliance Statement
The Quikrete Company-Peachland tries to maintain their equipment properly and has a good system for
logging their inspection,maintenance and recordkeeping.
The Quikrete Company-Peachland appeared to be in compliance on 12 June 2012.
