Slurry Pavers,Inc. formerly BKEP Materials, LLC, 107 Arendell Street,Morehead City,North Carolina,
authorizing the construction and operation of the emission source(s)and associated air pollution control
device(s)specified herein. Additionally, any emissKons activities determined from your Air Quality
Permit Application as being insignificant per 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2Q .0503(8)have
been listed for informational purposes as an"ATTACHMENT." Please note the requirements for the
annual compliance certifiAtion are cont*ed in General Condition P in Section 3. The current owner
is responsible for submitting a conyliance certification for the entire year regardless of who owned
the facility d rink the year.
As t lVsted res onsible official it is your responsibility to review,understand, and abide
by all of terms and conditions of the attached permit. It is also your responsibility to ensure that any
person who operates any emission source and associated air pollution control device subject to any term
or condition of the attached permit reviews,understands, and abides by the conditions of the attached
permit that are applicable to that particular emission source.
The Permittee shall file a Title V Air Quality Permit Application pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q
.0504 for the air emission sources(ID Nos.EU 1.5 and EU 4.3)on or before 12 months after
commencing operation.
