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 701 o cif 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 3,2013,I,Alicia Mangum,conducted a state compliance inspection for Perdue Grain and Oilsed,LLC-Pantego(ID
0700070). I was assisted by Mr. Stephen Fletcher,Regional Procurement Grain Manager. Mr.Fletcher provided me with the current
Air Permit(No. 03107R16)and stated that no changes had been made to the facility since the last inspection in 2011. Mr. Fletcher
also provided grain production totals and LP gas usage for the year 2012.
After review of the records,Mr. Fletcher and I toured the facility. From conversations with Betsy Huddleston of WaRO,the facility is
planning to add a loadout chute to optimize bin unloading,due to the current non-use of loadout ES-ES3. Per Betsy,doing so will not
require a permit modification. During our tour,Mr.Fletcher and I identified the rail loadout(ES-ES4). According to Mr. Fletcher,
this loadout is used for truck loading since rail is not utilized. Although ES-ES3 is listed as two loadout chutes,only one was
identified. Clarification to the sources should be addressed at the next permit renewal.
Although the facility was not operating during the inspection,the sources appeared to be well maintained and in good operating
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. Proper operation and maintenance
is deemed adequate to ensure compliance with the allowable limits. Compliance is indicated.
213.0516—"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.
213.0521 —"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. No 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"
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.

On July 3,2013, I,Alicia Mangum,conducted a state compliance inspection for Perdue Grain and Oilsed, LLC-Pantego(ID 0700070)
under Air Permit No.031071116. From conversations with Betsy Huddleston of WaRO,the facility is planning to add a loadout chute
to optimize bin unloading, due to the current non-use of loadout ES-ES3; which will not require a modification. During our tour, Mr.
Fletcher and I identified the rail loadout(ES-ES4)which is used for truck loading since rail is not utilized. Although ES-ES3 is listed
as two loadout chutes, only one was identified. Clarification to the sources should be addressed at the next permit renewal. Although
the facility was not operating during the inspection,the sources appeared to be well maintained and in good operating condition. No
dust,odor, or visible emissions were observed.
Based on review of records and visual observations,this facility appeared to be operating in compliance with the Air Quality
standards and regulations at the time of this inspection.
