3. PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT- As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0515
"Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes," particulate matter emissions from
the emission sources shall not exceed allowable emission rates. The allowable emission rates
are, as defined in 15A NCAC 2D .0515, a function of the process weight rate and shall be
determined by the following equation(s),where P is the process throughput rate in tons per
hour(tons/hr) and E is the allowable emission rate in pounds per hour(lbs/hr).

iii. the time when the malfunction or breakdown is first observed,
iv. the expected duration, and
V. an estimated rate of emissions.
b. Notify the Director or his designee immediately when the corrective measures have
been accomplished.
This reporting requirement does not allow the operation.of the facility in excess of
Environmental Management Commission Regulations.
6. FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT -As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0540
"Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources," the Permittee shall not cause or allow
fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess visible

operator may be required to submit a fugitive dust plan as described in 2D .0540(f).
"Fugitive dust emissions" means particulate matter that does not pass through a process
stack or vent and that is generated within plant property boundaries from activities such as:
unloading and loading areas,process areas stockpiles, stock pile working,plant parking lots,
and plant roads (including access roads and haul roads).
7. FABRIC FILTER REQUIREMENTS includingcge filters,baghouses, and other dry
filter particulate collection devices -As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0611,particulate matter

comply with all applicable provisions, including the notification,testing, and monitoring
requirements contained in Environmental Management Commission Standard 15A NCAC
2D .1111, as promulgated in 40 CFR 63, Subpart DDDDDDD (71)), "National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Area Source Standards for Prepared Feeds
Manufacturing",including Subpart A "General Provisions."
a. 40 CFR 63.11620 - Compliance Dates for Existing and New Sources
i. A prepared feeds manufacturing affected source is existing if you
commenced construction or reconstruction of the facility on or before July
27, 2009,
ii. A prepared feeds manufacturing affected source is new if you commenced
construction or reconstruction of the facility after July 27, 2009.
iii. Existing sources have a compliance date of January 5, 2012.
iv. The compliance date for new sources is upon start-up.
b. Operations Standards -As required by 15A NCAC 2D .1111 and 40 CFR 63,
Subpart DDDDDDD (71)),the following operational standards are applicable to
prepared feed manufacturing facilities that use a material containing chromium(Cr)
in amounts greater than 0.1 %by weight, or a material containing manganese (Mn)
in amounts greater than 1.0 %by weight and are Area Sources of HAPs.NOTE: the
pre-mix or supplement or concentrate ingredients stand alone for comparison to the

Permit No. 07495R10
Page 5
Cr > 0.1 % by weight or Mn > 1.0 % by weight issue; not the actual ingredient
into the overall animal feed production.
The affected source is the collection of all equipment and activities necessary to
produce animal feed from the point in the process where a material containing Cr or
Mn is added,to the point where the finished animal feed product leaves the facility.
40 CFR 63.11621 - Standards for New and Existing Facilities
i. Management Practices -In all areas of the affected source where materials
containing Cr or Mn are stored, used, or handled, you shall comply with the
following management practices:
A. You shall perform housekeeping measures to minimize excess dust.
These measures shall include,but not be limited to:
I. You shall use either an industrial vacuum system or manual
sweeping to reduce the amount of dust; EE
l
II. At least once per month,you shall remove dust from walls,
ledges, and equipment using low pressure air or by other
means, and then sweep or vacuum the area;
III. You shall keep doors shut except during normal ingress and
egress.
B. You shall maintain and operate all process equipment in accordance
with manufacturer's specifications and in a manner to minimize dust f
creation.
ii. Any Cr or Mn raw materials shall be stored in closed containers.
iii. Mixers shall be covered during operation(except when materials are being
added) and shall be operated so as to minimize dust. Materials containing Cr
or Mn shall be added in a manner that minimizes emissions.
iv. A device shall be installed and operated at the loadout end of each bulk
loader to reduce the distance between the loading arm and the truck or railcar
(i.e., loadout chutes/socks/flex hose).
V. For pelleting operations at EXISTING FACILITIES with an average daily
feed production level exceeding 50 tons per day,you shall capture emissions
and route them to a cyclone designed to reduce emissions of particulate
matter. The initial determination of the average daily feed production level is
based on the one-year period prior to the compliance date. For existing
sources, the initial average daily feed production level is based on the
amount of feed product produced between May 4, 2011 and May 4, 2012,
divided by the number of operating days during that period.
The cyclone shall be operated in accordance with good air pollution control

Permit No. 07495RI0
Page 6
practices and manufacturer's specifications and operating instructions, if
available, or standard operating procedures shall be developed by the facility
owner or operator to ensure proper operation and maintenance of the cyclone.
For pelleting operations at NEW FACILITIES with an average daily feed
production level exceeding 50 tons per day, you shall capture emissions and
route them to a cyclone designed to reduce emissions of particulate matter
(PM, not PM-10) by 95 percent or greater. "Average Daily Feed Production
Level" is defined as the average amount of animal feed products produced
each day over an annual period. For new sources, the initial average feed
daily production level is based on the design production rate. The subsequent
average daily feed production levels are determined annually and are based
on the amount of animal feed products produced in a calendar year divided
by the number of days in which the production processes were in operation.
You shall also comply with the three requirements below(A, B, and C):
A. FOR NEW Facilities - You shall demonstrate that the cyclone is
designed to reduce emissions PM by 95 percent or greater using one
of the three methods below.
I. Manufacturer's Specifications,
II. Certification by a Professional Engineer or a Responsible
Official, or
III. Method 5 performance test for PM.
B. You shall establish an inlet flow rate, inlet velocity, pressure drop, or
fan amperage range that represents proper operation of the cyclone in
accordance with paragraph (b)(v)(A) above. (See 40 CFR
63.11621(e)(2))
C. You shall maintain and operate the cyclone in accordance with
manufacturer's specifications. If manufacturer's specifications are not
available, you shall develop and follow standard maintenance and
operating procedures that ensure proper operation of the cyclone.
c. 40 CFR 63.11622 - Monitoring Requirements for New and Existing Sources
i. The Permittee shall conduct quarterly inspections of each cyclone for
corrosion, erosion, or any other damage that could result in air in-leakage,
and record results of any maintenance or repairs in a logbook to be
maintained on site.
ii. For NEW Facilities - When the pelleting process is in operation, the
Permittee shall monitor the inlet flow rate, inlet velocity,pressure drop, or
fan amperage at least once per day, and record the results of this monitoring
in a logbook to be maintained on site. For EXISTING Facilities - When the
pelleting process is in operation, the Permittee shall monitor the cyclone
weekly for proper air pollution control practices and manufacturer's

i
Permit No. 07495RI0
Page 7
specifications and operating instructions (if available) or standard operating
procedures developed by the facility owner or operator.
iii. The monthly housekeeping requirement(dusting and sweeping/vacuuming)
shall be tracked and dated in a logbook to be maintained on site at all times.
iv. Inspect the device required at the loadout end of a bulk loader monthly and
record results of any maintenance or repairs in a logbook to be maintained on
site.
d. 40 CFR 63.11623 - Testing Requirements-FOR NEW Sources ONLY
i. If a performance test is utilized to demonstrate compliance with the required
95 percent or greater reduction in particulate matter emissions on a cyclone
for PM mass emission-rate,Method 5 shall be used.
