INSPECTION OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:
On December 4,2015,I,Peter Susi,conducted a state compliance inspection for Perdue Grain and Oilseed,LLC-Pantego. I was assisted
by Mr.Austin Hodges,Grain Manager. Mr.Hodges provided me with the current Air Permit(No. 03107RI7)and stated no new
equipment had been added to the facility since the last inspection.
Records indicates that the facility received 1,339,840 bushels of corn,87,249 bushels of Soy Beans and 581,504 bushels of wheat in
2014. The facility shipped 1,537,038 bushels of corn,82,463 bushels of Soy Beans and 591,905 bushels of wheat in 2014. The facility
burned 46,650 gallons of propane drying corn and wheat.
After review of the records,Mr.Hodges and I toured the facility and identified the permitted sources. During my inspection,there was
no loading or unloading of grain observed. Although the facility was not operating during the inspection,the sources appeared to be well
maintained and in good operating condition. No fugitive dust,odor,or visible emissions were observed.
REGULATORY REVIEW:
21).0515—"Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes"
Particulate matter emissions from the emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates. According to the current permit
review,the uncontrolled emissions are less than the emission limits;proper operation and maintenance are deemed adequate to ensure
compliance with the allowable limits. No changes have been made to the facility since the last inspection. Compliance is indicated.
2D.0516—"Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources"
Sulfur dioxide emissions from the combustion sources shall not exceed 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input. Both dryers burn LP gas,
which produces negligible sulfur dioxide emission. Compliance is indicated.
2D.0521—"Control of Visible Emissions"
Visible emissions from the permitted sources are limited to 20 percent opacity when averaged over a six-minute period,except that
six-minute periods averaging not more than 87 percent opacity may occur not more than once in any hour nor more than four(4)times in
any 24-hour period. No visible emissions were observed during the inspection. A search of DAQ records indicates no complaints
regarding visible emissions have been submitted since the last inspection. Compliance is indicated.

2D.0535—"Excess Emissions Reporting and Malfunctions"
The facility is required to notify DAQ of excess emissions events lasting for more than four hours that result from a
malfunction, a breakdown of process or control equipment or any other abnormal conditions. A search of DAQ records
indicates no reports have been submitted since the last inspection. Compliance is indicated.
2D.0540—"Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources"
The facility shall not cause or allow fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess visible emissions
beyond the property boundary. No fugitive dust was observed during the inspection. A search of DAQ records indicates no complaints
regarding fugitive dust have been received since the last inspection. Compliance is indicated.
2D.1806—"Control and Prohibition of Odorous Emissions"

to prevent odorous emissions from the facility from causing or contributing to objectionable odors beyond the facility's boundary. No
odors were observed during the inspection. A search of DAQ records indicates no odor complaints have been received since the last
inspection. Compliance is indicated.
