Subject: Request for "Fugitive Dust Plan"
Air Permit No. 05973R07, Permit Condition A.7.
Mr. Gay:
On October 24, 2013, the Division of Air Quality staff responded to a fugitive dust
complaint at a S&W Ready Mix Concrete Morehead City located on 5126 Highway 70 West, in
Morehead City, North Carolina.
Regulation 15ANCAC 2d .0540 states that a facility can be required to submit a
"Fugitive Dust Plan" if substantive complaints are received about fugitive dust. This is the
second complaint received since 2009 about excess dust at this facility. It appears that there is a
high potential for excessive fugitive dust issues because of the lack of dust controls at the plant,
close proximity of the plant to the property line and neighboring properties, and the lack of a
quality buffer between the plant and neighbors. In addition, the build-up of dust on the nearby
foliage indicated that dust migration had occurred in the recent past at this facility. It appears that
it would be in the facility's best interest to develop, submit, and implement a"Fugitive Dust
Plan" as described by 15A NCAC 2d .0540 (0.
DAQ requests that this plan be submitted to Sheila Holman, Director, Division of Air
Quality, 1641 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1641 and a copy of this plan be provided
to the Regional Supervisor, Division of Air Quality, of the Wilmington Regional Office, no later
than December 6, 2013. The "Fugitive Dust Control Plan" shall:
(1) identify the sources of fugitive dust emissions within the facility;
(2) describe how fugitive dust will be controlled from each identified source;
(3) contain a schedule by which the plan will be implemented;
(4) describe how the plan will be implemented, including training of facility personnel; and
(5) describe methods to verify compliance with the plan.
In addition, it's recommended that the facility address how plant personnel will remediate
and document future complaints received about fugitive dust from the public.
