LOCATION: This facility is located on Swindell Road(SR 1625)approximately three miles of north of
Pantego. To get to this facility from the Washington Regional Office (WaRO),take Hwy 264East towards
Belhaven. In Pantego,turn left onto Highway 99. When Highway 99 veers to the right, stay straight ahead on
Swindell Road. The facility will be located on the left.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: This facility is a county grain elevator that receives wheat, corn, and soybeans
before it is loaded out and transported elsewhere. Contracted truckers who utilize hopper bottom trucks because
of their larger capacity deliver most of the grain. The farmers deliver about 10% of grain by dump trucks. It
was estimated that at least hopper bottom trucks receive 70%of the grain. All of the corn is received and
shipped by trucks. The wheat is received by truck and shipped by rail. No soybeans are received at this facility.
Wheat is received during the months June—July. Corn is received during the months of September—October.
FACILITY SAFETY: A hard hat, safety glasses and steel toes shoes are required by the facility. When on the
yard, there is truck traffic, a reflective vest is recommended.

INSPECTION OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:
On July 14, 2011, I, Alicia Mangum, arrived at 1461 Swindell Road to conduct an annual compliance
inspection for Perdue Grain and Oilseed, LLC of Pantego. I asked for Mr. Fletcher, but was informed that he
was no longer at the facility. Mr. Austin Hodges, Grain Manager, assisted me with my inspection. I asked for
the current Air Quality permit and was presented with that information. Mr. Hodges stated that no changes
have been made to the facility since the last compliance inspection in 2009. We verified and corrected the
contact information.
Mr. Hodges and I toured the facility, walking through the process of how the grain enters the facility and how it
leaves. During our walk through, Mr. Hodges identified each of the permitted emission sources and all
appeared to be well maintained and in good operating condition. Also during the tour,trucks were passing in
the yard. Minimal dust was observed, but none seemed to pass beyond property boundaries. I also observed a
truck receiving a load at the rail load out with minimal emissions. No visible emissions or odors were observed
during the time of the inspection.
REGULATORY REVIEW:
2D.0515— "Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes"
Particulate matter emissions from the emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates. This is
applicable to the dryer, receiving at the dump pit, and the loadout through the loadout chutes. Proper operation
and maintenance is deemed adequate to ensure compliance with the allowable limits. Compliance is indicated.
I
Ito 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.
Due to the use of Natural or LP gas, as well as proper operation and maintenance, negligible sulfur dioxide
emissions are assumed. 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. There is no history
of excessive visible emissions and none were observed during the time of 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. A search of DAQ records indicates no such complaints
have been received since the last inspection. During the inspection minimal dust was observed from passing
trucks in the yard but none extended beyond the property boundaries. Compliance is indicated.
2D.1806— "Control and Prohibition of Odorous Emissions"
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. A search of DAQ records indicates no such complaints
have been received since the last inspection. Compliance is indicated.
112(r)Applicability: The facility does not store applicable volumes of 112(r) materials.
COMPLIANCE HISTORY:

years.

time of inspection.
