INSPECTION OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:
On October 22,2014,I,Alicia Mangum,conducted a state compliance inspection for Perdue Grain and Oilsed,LLC-Pantego. I was
assisted by Mr.Austin Hodges,Grain Manager. Mr.Hodges provided me with the current Air Permit(No. 03107R17). Mr. Hodges
stated that business had been slow this year due to the weather and grain prices. He also indicated that dryer usage is,so far,about the
same compared to last year's usage. Records indicate 75,798 gallons of propane were used in 2013 (see attached). Since the last
inspection,conducted on July 8,2013,the facility has added a propane-fired,46 million Btu/hr grain dryer(Source ID ES-5)to speed
up drying time and/or to serve as a backup. The addition of this source was addressed in the current Air Permit Review
(20140602R17.doc). Mr.Hodges indicated that since its installation,the dryer has only been used a couple of times. After review of
the records,Mr. Hodges and I toured the facility and identified the permitted sources. During my inspection,there was no loadin
unloading of grain observed.
Although the facility was not operating during the inspection,the sources appeared to be well maintained and in Good operatin"
condition. No dust,odor,or visible emissions were observed.
REGULATORY REVIEW:
2D.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. Compliance is indicated.
2D.0516—"Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Cumbustion Sources"
Sulfur dioxide emissions from the combustion sources shall not exceed 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input. The dryers combuet I P
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"

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.
