ICE <500HP) on site, since the generators were purchased and put on site after 12 June 2006. There a third
Area Source>500HP that is not on site yet.
1) Location
B.V. Hedrick Gravel and Sand is located at 403 B.V. Hedrick Gravel Plant Road,off Hwy 74 East near
Lilesville,NC, in Anson County.
Directions
From FRO,take Hwy 401 South to Wagram. Turn right at Old Wire Road (Hwy144) and go
approximately 1 I %s miles to Laurel Hill. Turn right at Hwy 74 and go west approximately 30 miles
toward Lilesville;you'll pass Rockingham and then the Pee Dee River. Look for Gravel Plant Road on
the left about 5 '/2 miles after crossing the river. There will be a B.V. Hedrick Gravel and Sand
Company sign at entrance of road. Turn left, follow drive, and after crossing the railroad tracks, you'I I
see the scale house to the left at entrance to plant. Check in at scale house.
Safety considerations: Safety shoes,safety glasses and hardhat, earplugs if operating.
2) Facility and General Description
B.V. Hedrick Gravel and Sand Company is a mining facility that primarily produces sand for commercial
use and is permitted for crushing gravel. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 095721101,
effective from 19 February 2009 until 30 November 2010.Cindy Grimes conducted the last inspection on
8 July 2009.
This facility is a quarry which extracts mainly granite from the earth. The granite and crushed stone products
are loosened by drilling and blasting, and then are loaded by power shovel or front-end loader into Inge haul
trucks that transport the material to the processing operations.Primary operations include ajaw,which is used
for initial crusher reduction,and a series of conveyors.This crusher product is next fed through a grizzly feeder
for undersize material, and then is discharged onto a conveyor, where it goes through more screening
processes,until it is conveyed to a surge pile for temporary storage or sold as coarse aggregate.

3) Inspection Conference
On 26 May 2010,1, Cindy Grimes,met with Tim Jones, Superintendent and Facility Contact at this facility.
This was apre-arranged inspection, since it was for their permit renewal. We discussed the following:
a) Verified the FACFINDER information as being correct.
b) They initiated production in November 2009. Mr. Jones said that they ran a very limited time
(November,December, and 2 weeks in January 2010), as the poor economy is still the controlling
factor.When I did my inspection in 2009,they had performed one blast already, and then they(lid
another one in the fall of 2009,just before their first operation in November.
c) I asked if the notification report had been sent to DAQ FRO regarding the initial start up, and Mr.
Jones said that he assumed Jason Conner; the Environmental Director in Asheville,had sent it in. 1
told him I would check the files and contact Mr. Conner if there was a problem.
d) We discussed the current permit, as they received a new one since my last inspection, because they
had a modification in October 2009.Mr.Jones showed me their fugitive dust control plan and log that
they are required to keep on site. The plan was submitted to and approved by DAQ in October 2009.
The plan and log are maintained in a binder, along with all other air quality papers. The log had
_ entries of water suppression for fugitive dust when there was activity during the 2 %z months the
facility was in production.It also contained daily entries,including dates it rained(when mechanical
suppression was not needed).
e) Mr. Jones showed me the logbook he's been keeping for the total quantity of rock that was crushed
from November through January. The logbook had daily entries from start-up in November through
yesterday(25 May 2010),including 0 tons for all the inactive days since then. It also listed the
number of hours the generator ran, including the monthly NOx emissions.

f) Mr. Jones gave me a copy of the plot plan that identified the boundary distance,which is the shortest
distance between any non-road source and the property boundary here; that distance is 441 feet. He
also gave me a copy of the equipment list and scheme. The list contained ID numbers, size/capacity,
manufacturing date, and performance test dates. The only generator that was used for production in
November-January was the Astec G-1 (125 HP),which is subject to NSPS and MALT. The PC-T G4
(McCloskey 350 HP) generator recently arrived on site but is sitting inactive on the property. The
Gent (1299 HP) is not on site,and the facility has no plans in the immediate future to move it here; it
is at another quarry.
g) This facility is using low sulfur diesel fuel (<.05% S)presently, and I reminded Mr. Jones that by 1
October 2010,only ultra low diesel fuel (<.0015% S)may be combusted. He said he understood and
would comply.
h) Mr. Conner will be taking care of submitting the permit renewal applications and emissions
inventory,
4) Inspection Summary
This facility was not operating at the time of my inspection,though they did have the following equipment on
site.
a) Screens and Conveyors: There was one 2D screen (Aster SC-1), five conveyors (Aster C-1>5), and
one belt feeder(Astee F-1) on site during my inspection. They were not operating.
b) 125 HP Diesel Generator (Aster G-1): This engine was on site and had a meter showing 177 hours of
operation, from when it ran from 18 November 2009 through 13 January 2010.
c) 350 HP Diesel Generator (PC-T G4): This engine was on site but has not operated yet.
d) 1299 HP Diesel Generator(GEN 1): This engine is not on site yet and has no definitive date of
operation in the near future.
e) Roads: The roads surrounding the scale house were damp from the water truck,which was continually
spraying on site during my.inspection. The roads from the actual quarry operating site were not damp,
since the quarry had not been operating for more than 4 months.There is no traffic going to the site when
it is not operating.
