3) Inspection Conference
On26 May 2010,I, Cindy Grimes (DAQ FRO),met with Maury Goodloe,Plant Manager and Facility
Contact, and Dave Snyder,Maintenance Manager,at Quikr'ete-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 since the last compliance inspection in 2009.
c) Since the last compliance inspection in 2009 was for their permit renewal, I asked Mr. Goodloe if he
had any questions regarding the new permit; he did not. I reminded him of the new stipulation
regarding fugitive dust control;he has not received any dust complaints.The facility's haul drives are
a mixture of gravel and sand in the back,and asphalt on the sides and front. I did not notice any
excessive dust during my inspection,with trucks coming and going. He mentioned that he would
concoct a makeshift water truck if dust ever became a problem during a dry spell.

d) Mr. Huntley showed me the maintenance logbooks, in which he maintains a separate one 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. Of note was a new magnehelic gauge
that had been installed on the outside of the dryer.Also, 36 new bags were installed in both the lime
and masonry silo bag house.
4) Inspection Summary
a) Silo Bag filters (ES-6,ES-9S1,ES-9S2,ES-11S,ES-12S,ES-13S): The facility was operating during
my inspection. 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.The equipment
appeared to be in good working order. Some of the piping has been replaced over the years in this area
due to normal wear and tear.Ma Goodloe told me that they are hoping in the near 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 had been installed last year on the dryer to record the various
drops of pressure within the bag house.Mr. Goodloe said that it seems to be working fine. The
maintenance crew checks the readings daily and logs them into the books weekly.
5) Permit Stipulations

entries.
