1. Purpose of Application
Perdue Grain and Oilseed has submitted a permit renewal application. This facility is a typical grain
elevator. According to the most recent inspection report, Perdue receives and dries soybeans and
wheat for Perdue chicken feed mills. This facility primarily operates from September until late
November.

3. New Equipment/Change in Emission and Regulatory Review
The application states that no changes are requested to the equipment and permit content.
4. NSPS,NESHAPs, PSD,Attainment Status, 112(r)
a. NSPS—No NSPS Subpart is applicable to this facility.
b. NESHAPS—No NESHAP Subpart is applicable to this facility.
c. PSD—This facility is a minor for PSD. Beaufort County has been triggered for increment tracking
for PMto and S02 mainly due to PCS Phosphate.
d. Attainment Status - This facility is in an attainment area.
e. 112(r) - The facility does not handle, store, or use any 112R pollutants in sufficient quantity to be
subject to this regulation.
5. Facility Wide Air Toxics
A toxics review is not triggered by this permit renewal.
6. Compliance Status & History
The facility was last inspected by Samantha Mellott on 07/23/2021 and appeared to operate in
compliance with all applicable air quality regulations and permit conditions at the time of inspection.
7. Facility Emissions Review
Actual emissions are from 2020 emission inventory. There are no changes for this renewal application
in potential emission comparing to the last review.

EPA allows for grain facilities to calculate potential particulate emissions by basing them on 1.2
times the facility's highest actual annual tons of grain received. I reviewed previous DAQ
inspection reports for 2014-2021 (life of permit cycle). The highest year of grain receipt at the
facility was 2016 at 64,974 tons. For the previous permit renewal(R17)the highest yield year for
2008-2012 was 87,115 tons grain (2012).

For ease of calculation and conservancy,potential emissions may remain calculated using the 2012
receipts.

The dryer burners are 28.8 and 46 MMBtu/hr. Toxics emissions are negligible from propane. The
potential emissions are calculated using a DAQ spreadsheet that applies AP-42 emission factors.

8. Stipulation Review
2D .0202 "Registration of Air Pollution Sources"
This Rule gives the Director the authority to require the registration of air pollution sources,
and require them to submit information about the source. It is under this Rule that the Division
is requiring facilities to submit an emissions inventory 90 days before their air quality permit
expires.
21) .0515— "Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes"
This rule applies to all of the sources at the facility. For process rates greater than 30 tons per
hour, the allowable emission rates for particulate is calculated
E= 55.0(P)o.ti_ 40
"E" equals the maximum allowable emission rate for particulate matter in pounds per hour and
"P" equals the process rate in tons per hour.
Perdue is expected to comply with 2D.0515.
(SharePoint\Facilities\Beaufort07\00070\20220225rl9) Page 3

2D.0516- "Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources"
Sulfur dioxide emissions from the grain dryer shall not exceed 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat
input. The facility only burns natural gas and LPG in the dryers. The SO2 emissions can be
considered negligible.
2D.0521 - "Control of Visible Emissions"
This Rule applies to each of the permitted sources. Visible emissions shall not be more than 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 excess visible emissions
for this facility, so compliance with 2D.0521 is expected.
2D .0535- "Notification Requirement"
The facility must report instances of excess emissions that last for more than four hours that
result from either a malfunction or any other abnormal condition. The facility has not reported
any excess emissions, therefore all operations are assumed to be running efficiently.
Compliance with this rule is expected.
2D .0540- "Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources"
The facility must not cause or allow fugitive dust to travel beyond the property boundary
creating substantive complaints or excess visible emissions. Fugitive dust is defined as
particulate not involved in a process, essentially dust from stockpiles, parking lots, roads, etc.
No dust complaints have been received in the past.
2D .1806 "Control and Prohibition of Odorous Emissions"
The facility may not operate without implementing management practices or installing and
operating odor control equipment sufficient to prevent odorous emissions that would go past
the property boundary and create a nuisance. No odor complaints have been received in the
past.
2Q .0318, CHANGES NOT REQUIRING PERMIT REVISIONS newly added as the general
condition 7. for every permit due to the permit writer change.
9. Permit Review Conclusion
Recommend issuance of Air Quality Permit No. 03107/R19.
