3) Inspection Conference
On 8 July 2010, 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 2009,this was performed on 28 November. 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 pictures showing
c) There have been no equipment changes since last year or any changes in the production processes.
d) Venture Milling received an initial notification form from DAQ in April of this year concerning the
application of NESHAP Subpart 7D,Prepared Feeds Manufacturing. Joey Baggett,the
Agribusiness/Environmental Manager 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.Since the final compliance date is 4 May 2012, I told Mr. Haigler to tell Mr. Baggett that if
had any questions regarding this, to call our office. 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. Mr. Haigler gave me a bag tag for this premix, and I have included it in 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.
4), Inspection Summary
a) Receiving: Trucks and railcars unload at this area(ES-A and ES-B). The truck pit is choke-fed and
emissions are controlled by ID No. CD-1. There were several trucks,but no railcars,unloading during
my inspection. I observed 0%VE from the bag house,which also controls the 3 storage silos(ES-I).
The bag filter appeared to be in good condition.
b) Bagtlters: 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 problems in the past,but I saw no dust
accumulation or holes due to severe rust in the area. Everything appeared to be in good condition.
c) Bin inspection holes with covers: In 2007,some of the covers were rusted completely through
where the metal meets the cement. These covers have been replaced and looked good.
d) Truck Loadout: I observed 2 trucks loading out during my inspection(ES-H); there was 0%VE.
