5) Inspection Conference
On 9 August 2022,I Mike Thomas and Taijah Hamil both of FRO DAQ conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the Adams Old Castle Company—Lilesville facility. We met with Benji
Atkinson, Maintenance Manager. We discussed the following:
a) Upon arrival we observed what appeared to be an excessive amount of dust in the air around
the facility. No other observations were made at this time due to not being appropriately
positioned for a V.E. reading. I asked Mr.Atkinson about the dust and he stated that shortly
before our arrival they were filling a cement silo and it overfilled causing the pressure valve
to release. He went on to say that they were about to start the cleanup process. We observed
the material accumulated at the top of the silo from the overfill.
b) Verified the FACFINDER information: Mr.Atkinson provided updated information for
Authorized Contact,Technical Contact,and Invoice Contact. Those changes have been made
in IBEAM.
c) We reviewed the facility's maintenance and inspection logbooks. Records appeared to be
complete and up to date.

6) Inspection Tour
Mr. Atkinson and us on a tour of the facility which was operating. He then led us to view the
baghouses. We observed no problems with any of the baghouses. While viewing the baghouses we
were able to view the dust we had seen early with the correct sun angle. The amount of dust in the air
appeared significantly less. We observed the areas where cement and flyash are pumped into the silos.
I asked Mr.Atkins at what rate did drivers fill the silos. He stated they pump at 1 Opsi. Mr.Atkinson
informed me that the facility was continuing to use the Hi-Vac system that was installed to manage
dust and clean up in the bagging area. The Hi-Vac unit does not vent outside of the building it is
housed in.
