3) Inspection Conference
On 20 April 2011,I(Cindy Grimes)met with Hayne Haigler,compliance contact and mill manager.We
discussed the following:
a) Verified the FACFINDER information to be correct.
b) I examined their bag filter logbook. They perform weekly inspections, which include checks on all
systems(receiving,methionic,hammermill, and pneumatic),the magnehelic gauges, rust(for
structural integrity), and leaks. An annual inspection,which includes replacing all the bags, is done
usually in December;in 2010,this was performed on 4 December.There had been an issue in the past
with some bag blowouts,so Mr. Haigler said now he just replaces all the bags every year so there
won't be any problems. The housing unit has also been repaired in previous years. The logbook
maintained here is excellent and even has before and after pictures of major repairs.
e) There have been no equipment or process changes since the last compliance inspection.
d) They are still using the blending premix that contains 22%Manganese;thus,subjecting them to
NESHAP Subpart 7D.The usage is still—2100 tons/quarter,and is used exclusively for one customer
in the country of Georgia.
e) Sometime—December 2011/January 2012,they plan on initiating the installation of a new conveyor that
will strictly handle the railcar load out.Currently,there is only one conveyor to both the railcar and truck
load out pits. Since their permit expires on 30 November 2012, I suggested to Mr. Haigler that we could
start the renewal process early, so he wouldn't have to do a modification and then the permit renewal a
few months later. He said that would be fine.

4) Inspection Summary(facility was 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-1. There were several
trucks and I railcar unloading during my inspection. I observed 0%VE from this bag house,
which also controls the 3 storage silos(ES-1). The bag filter appeared to be in good condition.
b) Bagfilters: I went to the top of the silo to view the bagfilter(ID No.CD-2)for the pneumatic truck
receiving operation(ES-C)). This area that has had rust problems in the past(due to the use of
salt),but I saw no dust accumulation or holes due to the past rust here. Everything appeared to be
in good condition. I observed 0%VE.
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 look good.
d) Track Load out(ES-H)and Truck Load out spouts(I-Sl,2,3): I observed 1 truck loading out.
during my inspection; I observed 5%VE and saw no problems in this area.

9) Comments and Compliance Statement
*This facility has worked hard to comply with their permit since they were issued an NOV in 2007 for
not recording the bagfilter's deterioration and properly maintaining it.They now change all the bags in
the bagfilters annually and keep excellent records, including before and after photographs of major
maintenance completed.
*GACT Note:Venture Milling received an initial notification form from DAQ in April 2010. concerning the
application of NESFIAP Subpart 7D,Prepared Feeds Manufacturing.Joey Baggett,the Agribusiness
Environmental Manager of this facility,responded by declaring that the facility is subject to this GACT,
specifically because one of the feed mixes("Perdue boiler trace mineral premix")contains 22%Manganese.
The final compliance date for 7D is 4 May 2012;I told Mr. Haigler to contact FRO DAQ, if there were any
questions regarding this.Mr.Haigler told me that they don't use the mix in any open areas and everything is
mixed within enclosed bins.The standard batch of this mixed blend is low in tonnage. A bag tag for this
premix is included within this facility's folder.At this time,approximately 2100 tons/quarter of the mix are
used,but he estimates that number may increase to—3000 tons/quarter in 2 years.This mix is only shipped to
one customer overseas in the country Georgia.
*Mr.Haigler should be contacted—December 2011 to discuss the possibility of an early permit renewal,
since the facility will be doing some modifications between December 2011 and February 2012.
*Facility's phone number is 704-826-8318.
Venture Milling-Ansonville appeared to be in compliance on 20 April 2011.
