1. General Information. The purpose of this site visit was to conduct an Air Quality compliance inspection.
Ms. Amanda Pearson, General Manager, accompanied me on the inspection. This facility manufactures
fire retardant laminate used primarily in transportation systems(aircraft, boats). This laminate is a layer
between the outer surface and insulation designed to prevent fire from spreading and is designed to
withstand a 2000-degree F flame for a certain time period. The facility is now operating eight hours per
day, 5 days per week, 51 weeks per year.
2. File Review.
A. Contacts. Updated facility and authorized contacts to Amanda Pearson, General
Manager.
B. Files. The following files were reviewed prior to the inspection: previous inspection
reports; correspondence since the last inspection; etc.
C. Compliance history:
The facility has not had any compliance issues in the last five years.
D. Operating Conditions established by Stack Testing.
A stack test was conducted on October 24,2017 to document RTO efficiency.

per million Btu heat input.
Observed. The facility is tracking the amount of propane combusted. The amount of sulfur in
the propane is below the permit limit. Compliance is indicated.
c. Condition AA 15A NCAC 2D .0521 "Control of Visible Emissions," visible emissions from the
emission sources, manufactured after July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20 percent opacity.
However, sources which must comply with a visible emissions standard in 15A NCAC 2D .0524
"New Source Performance Standards" or .1110 "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants" shall meet that standard instead of the 2D .0521 visible emissions standard.

e. Condition A.6, 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 emissions beyond the property boundary.
Observed. No complaints of fugitive dust or visible emissions have been reported since the last
inspection. Compliance is indicated.
£ Condition A.7. 15A NCAC 2D .0605 "Compliance Certification",the Permittee shall submit a

Pollutant _ Emission Limit
(Tons per consecutive 12-month period)
Yndividual RAPS_ 10
j Total HAPs T 25
a. Inspection and Maintenance Requirements—
i. Thermal Oxidizer Requirements -Emissions shall be controlled as described in
the permitted equipment list. To comply with the provisions of this permit and
ensure that emissions do not exceed the regulatory limits,the Permittee shall
perform periodic inspections and maintenance(I&M)as recommended by the
manufacturer.As a minimum,the Permittee shall perform an annual(for each 12
month period following the initial inspection)internal inspection of each primary
heat exchanger and associated inlet/outlet valves to ensure structural integrity.
b. Monitoring Requirements—
i. Thermal Oxidizer Requirements -The Permittee shall ensure the proper
performance of each thermal oxidizer by monitoring the following operational
parameters:
A. The Permittee shall continuously record the temperature measured inside
the second half of the oxidizer(away from the flame zone)with a
minimum temperature of 1600 degrees Fahrenheit.
B. The Pennittee shall record the flow rate to the oxidizer(maximum flow
rate of 15,000 scfm) once per week.
c. Recordkeeping Requirements
i. A logbook shall be kept on site for thermal oxidizer(ID No. CDOI).
Observed. The facility is maintaining records of the total HAP and individual HAP emissions
for calendar year January 2022 through November 2022. Total HAPs and individual RAPS for
the calendar year 2022 are well below the emission limits. The oxidizer was operating with a
chamber temperature of 1818 °F and a flow rate to the oxidizer of 8060 scfm during the
inspection. The facility has been conducting periodic inspections and maintenance on the
oxidizer. Ms. Pearson provided the required temperature and flow rate recordings on his
computer and has the flow rate and temperature readings listed every week from the previous
inspection to November 30, 2022. The last two internal inspections of the oxidizer were
