(I) DIRECTIONS TO SITE: Smithfield. —Clinton Plant is located at 424 Railroad Street in Clinton, NC, Sampson
County. From FRO,take NC-24 East towards Clinton. Follow the 421 Bypass/Faircloth Freeway and exit towards
NC-24 East. Turn left onto Southeast Blvd. The plant is approximately'/4 mile on the left.
h(II) FACILITY DESCRIPTION: Smithfield- Clinton is a hog processing plant. The facility produces pork products
for human consumption as well as rendering products for use in animal feed. All sources associated with the
rendering plant are permitted. Approximately 85%of the raw material for the rendering process comes from the hog
processing plant. The remaining 15%comes from dead stock from Smithfield Farms affiliates. Rendering products
include feed fat, blood plasma, blood meal, and bone meal. These products are generally used in poultry and pork
feed. A portion of the animal fat is now being used to produce biodiesel.
The main facility (hog slaughter and meat preparation facility) processes approximately 10,200 hog per day and
Clinton currently has approximately 1500 employees. The
operates 24 hours per day,7 days per week. Smithfield
facility also produces fresh meat products as well as smoked and cured products. Smithfield - Clinton currently
operates under air permit no. 03034R20,issued 14 November 2007,with an expiration date of 31 August 2012.
,(II) INSPECTION SUMMARY: On 13 July 2009, I, Tien Nguyen of Fayetteville Regional Office, met with Mr.
Norman Johnson, Environmental Manager, and Mr. Stan Mertz, Supervisor of Rendering Operations, to conduct a
compliance inspection. Prior to entering the facility, I drove around the facility to observe odor and opacity. I did
not notice any distinct rendering odor past the facility boundaries. All the boiler stacks had 0%opacity.During pre-
inspection conference,Mr.Johnson checked the facility contact information for correctness.Upon meeting with Mr.
Johnson I discussed the inspection procedure and permit requirements. Mr. Johnson provided monthly fuel usage
and S02& NOx emissions records for review. Mr. Johnson stated that the facility has not burned No.2, No.6, or
animal fat in years and has no plans to use them in the future. Mr. Johnson stated that the facility has never burned
biogas.Mr.Johnson also provided a current Risk Management Program for review.
Mr.Johnson led me on a detailed tour of the processing plant,focusing on the LPG-fired singer and smoke houses.
The facility is currently burning/smoldering 400 lbs of hardwood daily in their smoke houses. Mr.Johnson also

combusted during each month.
IN COMPLIANCE—Fuel oil has not been combusted since January 2006 The facility has not combusted No.
2 fuel oil. The facility has combusted only natural gas since last year.
G. 15A NCAC 2D .0524 NEW SOURCE PERFORMACE STANDARDS Sulfur content of all fuel oil for
boilers B-4 and B-5 shall.be less than 0.5%sulfur by weight. Visible emissions shall be less than 20%opacity
for boilers B-4 and B-5. The permittee must keep fuel certs / analysis on file and record the amount of fuel
combusted during each month. The facility must take oil samples from the fuel tank immediately after the tank
is filled and before any fuel is combusted. These samples must be analyzed for the sulfur content of the oil.
Boilers B-4 and B-5 are limited to an annual capacity factor of 10%. Each time the facility combusts No.6 fuel.
oil,the Permittee must perform a 6-minute visible emissions evaluation.
IN COMPLIANCE-Smithfield-Clinton submitted a report in July for the amount of fuel combusted monthly.
Mr. Johnson provided those records through May 2009. The facility has not received/combusted any No. 6
fuel oil since January 2006, therefore, the visible emissions evaluations and fuel analysis were reviewed during
the last two compliance inspections. Mr. Bowen and Mr. Johnson provided certificates for VE certified
personnel. The opacity from these boilers was 0%opacity on the day of the inspection.
H. 15 NCAC 2D .0539 ODOR CONTROL OF FEED INGREDIENT MANUFACTURING PLANTS —
Exhaust should be routed to odor control equipment. Raw material must be transported properly. Dead stock
cannot be located at the facility for more than 24 hours.
IN COMPLIANCE The facility utilizes oxidizing scrubbers (C102) to control odors from rendering
processes. Smithfield — Clinton performs monthly calibrations, weekly external checks, data validation
procedures, and performs schedule maintenance on all scrubbers, baghouses, and condensers. Raw material
from the main facility is transferred to the rendering plant either through ducts or dump trucks. Raw material
that is not ducted directly to the rendering facility is dumped into an enclosed container. The container is also
controlled by the scrubber. The facility keeps records for every load of dead stock to insure that the raw
material is not kept on site for more than 24 hours. The Department of Agriculture also required them to keep
these records. Mr. Mertz did state that the facility may occasionally store material on-site for over 24 hours,
but only if the material is kept in a refrigerated truck. Mr. Mertz stated that the facility is accepting very little
dead stock now.
I. TESTING REQUIREMENTS—The facility must conduct emissions testing within 90 days of initial startup
of any boiler combusting saleable pork fat. Testing shall be conducted for the following pollutants: CO, PM,
VE,NOX,S02,and VOC.
IN COMPLIANCE—The facility has not started combusting saleable pork fat; therefore, the required testing
has not been performed. The facility does not have any immediate plans to begin combusting pork fat.
J. RECORDKEEPING FOR NON-FOSSIL FUELS—The Permittee must maintain fuel specifications for each
load,both on-site and off-site products,of non-fossil fuels combusted at the facility.
IN COMPLIANCE—The facility is not yet combusting any non fossil fuels.
K. 15 NCAC 2D .0611 BAGFILTER REQUIREMENTS — The permittee shall perform an annual internal
inspection on baghouse CD-9. The permittee shall also perform inspections and maintenance as required by the
manufacturer. The facility shall record all maintenance activities in a logbook and kept on site.
IN COMPLIANCE—Annual inspections are recorded in a maintenance logbook.
L. 15 NCAC 2D .0611 CONDENSER REQUIREMENTS—The permittee shall perform periodic maintenance
and inspections on condensers CD-1, CD-3, and CD-10 as required by the manufacturer. The facility shall
record all maintenance activities in a logbook and kept on site. The facility must conduct at least weekly
external inspections. The exit temperature of the condenser shall be less than 150T.
IN COMPLIANCE—Mr. Mertz showed us the logbook for all condenser maintenance and inspections. The
logbook was very thorough showing that weekly inspections are performed on the condensers. An operator
records the condenser exit temperature every four hours during operation. The facility also has a continuous
monitor, which records this exit temperature on a strip chart. The exit temperature was 1050F on the day of the
inspection.
M. 15 NCAC 2D .0611 SCRUBBER REQUIREMENTS — The permittee shall perform an annual internal
inspection on scrubbers CD-4 through CD-8 and CD-11 for the spray nozzles,packing material, and chemical
feed system. The Permittee must conduct twice daily external checks for leaks and odor, weekly internal
inspections of nozzles, monthly cleaning/calibration of associated equipment, monthly inspection of chemical
feed system, and quarterly inspection of packing material. The permittee shall also perform inspections and
maintenance as required by the manufacturer. The facility shall record all maintenance activities in a logbook
and kept on site. Scrubbers must also utilize oxidizing solution and be operated within the following

IN COMPLIANCE—Mr. Mertz showed us a logbook detailing all maintenance and inspection activities.. The
logbook was detailed and up to date. Odor/leak checks are conducted_every four hours during operation.
Weekly inspections are performed on the nozzles. Monthly cleanings and calibrations and chemical feed system
inspections are done weekly by Chem Treat and monthly by Smithfield. Quarterly inspections of the packing
material are also completed. Annual internal inspections are also conducted quarterly and were denoted in the
I&M logbook.
The oxidizing agent used in all scrubbers is chlorine dioxide(002). Smithfield—Clinton has a contractor from
ChemTreat that provides the chlorine dioxide for the rendering facility and wastewater treatment facility. An
operator records the scrubber operating parameters every four hours. These reading are taken manually and
are maintained in a logbook. All ORP readings were between 600-750mv during the inspection.
N. 15 NCAC 2D .1806 CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS — The odor at the
facility's border should not be objectionable.
IN COMPLIANCE A slight odor was present surrounding the rendering building. There was a very distinct
odor in the wastewater treatment area also, specifically the sludge load out area. The facility had a recent odor
complaint on April 1, 2009. An objectionable odor was not noted off-site on the day of the inspection.
0. 15 NCAC 2Q .0315 LIMITATION TO AVOID 15A NCAC 2Q .0501 (TV) — Facility wide PM-10, S02,
NO,,, and VOC emissions shall be less than 100 tons per year. VOC and PM emissions shall be controlled by
condensers,bagfilters,and scrubbers as described in the permitted source list. The amount of fuel combusted as
well as S02 and NO,,emissions should be recorded monthly and totaled annually. Fuel certifications/analysis
must also be maintained on site. S02 emissions shall be calculated using the sulfur content determined in the
lab analysis for No.6 fuel oil. A report must be submitted 30 days after each calendar year quarter for total S02
and NO,emissions.
IN COMPLIANCE—The facility provided up to date records detailing the fuel com busted as well as S02 and
NOx emissions. Actual emissions are well below the permitted limit. Annual emissions through May 2009 show
emissions of 13 tons of NO,and 0.09 tons of S02.
P. 15 NCAC 2Q .0317 LIMITATION TO AVOID 15A NCAC 2D.0530(PSD)—Facility wide S02 emissions
shall be less than 250 tons per year. Monitoring and recordkeeping requirements are met by complying with the
