3) Inspection Conference
On 21 June 2011,I(Cindy Grimes), met with Maury Goodloe, Plant Manager and Facility Contact, at
Quikrete-Peachland. We discussed the following:
a) I verified the FACFINDER information.Mr. Goodloe remains the Facility and Authorized
contacts for all DAQ data.
b) There have been no new sources added or changed since the last compliance inspection in 2010
c) I viewed all of the maintenance logbooks, in which a separate one is maintained for each source.
Either Bill Davis or Tim Huntley, who both do the maintenance, records the bagfilter inspections
and magna helix manometer readings weekly;they visually check them daily. I told Mr. Goodloe
that he was doing a good job on the recordkeeping. A new magnehelic gauge was installed on the
outside of the dryer in 2009, and a new steel cover was put onto the dryer in 2010. Also, 36 new
bags were installed in both the lime and masonry silo bag house in May 2010, and new bags were
installed in the Portland bag house in June 2010.

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. The maintenance crew
performs a Vizilite test on the bag filters biannually,which shows any compromises in the filters.
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.Just as I
walked into this area, a small amount of dust started blowing out from a hole in the ductwork,with VE
being 20%.Mr. Goodloe yelled to a worker nearby to shut the operation down and repair the hole.
This was corrected with duct tape within 2 minutes, and the operation resumed with 0%VE. Some o
the other piping has been replaced over the years in this area due to normal wear and tear. Mr. Goodloe
told me that they are still hoping in the future to acquire a mechanical/automated system that would
automatically bag the product(cement, sand, or gravel). This would not affect the bagfilter control
system.
c) LP Gas-fired Burner and Rotary Dryer(ES-1 and ES-IA): 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;Mr. Goodloe said that it still seems to be working fine.
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.
In Compliance—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.
In Compliance—The facility was operating during my inspection, and I observed 0%VE(a small
blowout, within the ductwork in the bagging operation area that created 20%VE,occurred during this
inspection, but was corrected within minutes and VE resumed at 0%).
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.
In Compliance—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 fi-ont.
Mr. Goodloe has not received any dust complaints.
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
In Compliance 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 TO AVOID 1 SA NCAC 2Q.0501—To avoid applicability of 15A NCAC
2Q.0501, facility wide PM io emissions shall be less than 100 tons per year. Permittee shall perform an
annual inspection of bagfilter system, as well as keep records of all inspection and maintenance.
In Compliance—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.

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.
I would not recommend any violation for the blowout that occurred during my inspection, since the
affected operation was shut down and then repaired within a few minutes in my presence.
The Quikrete Company-Peachland appeared to be in compliance on 21 June 2011.
