Directions: Take I-40 East to exit 98. Turn left onto Causby Road and cross over I-40 and turn left onto the I-40 westbound ramp and turn right onto Chain Drive. Facility is located at the end of the road. Follow signs to visitor's parking and entrance. 2,Jackson Corrugated, LLC. 2. Facility Overview: a. Safety: Safety Shoes, Hearing and Eye Protection. Facility has high noise levels near grinder and cyclone collection system. b. Facility Contacts: Mr. Farris, plant manager confirmed there are no changes to the facility contacts. He is the sole and primary contact. The name of the facility has not changed. c. Facility Overview: This facility manufactures corrugated paperboard sheets. The sheets are then shipped to other facilities for final processing into cardboard boxes. i. There are approximately 52 employees at this site, including office staff. ii. The facility began operations on March 25, 2019, and operates 2 shifts Monday-Friday. iii. The first shift currently works from lam to 4pm and the second shift works from 4pm to 2 am. iv. Process Description: Starch from the silo is blended with other components to form an adhesive. The adhesive is added to the surface of kraft paper and run through the corrugator to laminate layers of kraft paper to create a board. (The facility has stated that the adhesive contains no VOC.) After drying, the edges are trimmed with the scrap blown through a single cyclone collector. PM is separated, and the larger scrap is baled. A natural gas-fired boiler provides process heat, primarily for the drying process. d. General Observations: i. No dust seen upon arrival from the roof stacks, cyclone. ii. No offsite odors were observed upon arrival. iii. Records were generally available and well managed. iv. The facility was running under normal operations. 3. Emission Source Observations: a. Compliance Assurance Visit Narrative: On May 10, 2022 I arrived at the facility to conduct a Compliance Assurance Visit (CAV). I met with Mr. Farris after observing the cyclone from the parking lot. Mr. Farris and I discussed the air quality registration with the DAQ. He noted they had no major changes in production or processes since the last visit in 2021. We traveled to the production floor and saw the cardboard collection system in action. We walked outside and viewed the outflow of the cyclone. Visible emissions from the dust collection cyclone were less than approximately 5%. I viewed the starch cyclone and saw no air quality concerns within or outside the plant. b. Emission Sources: The facility is listed as a registered facility. The production budget for 2022 is 1,064,408,000 sq. ft. This should be tracked over time to see if production increases trigger permit thresholds. 3,Jackson Corrugated, LLC. ......... .. Emissions Equipment Table Emissions Control Devices Seen on site?

Estimated now to be: 20.45 TPY. No significant production change in 2022. Production Budget for 2022 is 1,064,408,000 s . ft. B. VE Observations: Two main sources of visible emissions exist at this facility: the starch silo bin vent and the cyclone outflow from the cardboard collection system. Both of these systems were viewed today. Starch arrives twice per week. No visible emissions were seen from the starch bin vent silo. This silo was holding starch and has periodic air pulses which were heard. No starch was seen exiting the vent during these air pulses. No starch was seen in the surrounding area. The cyclone was in operation and with materials going through the grinder, scraps being bailed, and air venting off the top of the cyclone. Visible emissions were less than 5%. All observed ductwork was free of leaks. No material was seen accumulated around the outlet of the cyclone. C. Boiler: In addition to the sources listed above, the facility operates a 16.7 mm BTU natural gas boiler. The boiler was manufactured in 2015/2016 and is subject to NSPS Subpart, Dc. The boiler was in operations with no visible emissions. 4. Regulatory and Permit Condition Review a. The facility had an application review for ownership change in April 2022. Mr. Farris was designated as Authorized Contact for the facility. The name was also 4,Jackson Corrugated, LLC. changed to Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company dba Jackson Corrugated, LLC. b. The facility must comply with the following EMC Regulations: i. 15A NCAC 2D .0515, "Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes"; The allowable particulate emission rate, "E," in pounds per hour from any stack, vent, or outlet, resulting from industrial processes shall not exceed the level calculated with the equation E=4.I(P)0.67 for a process rate, P, less than or equal to 30 tons per hour, or E=55.0(P)0.11-40 when P is greater than 30 tons per hour. "P" equals the process rate in tons per hour and includes the weight of all materials introduced into any specific process that may cause any emission of particulate matter. The facility appeared to be operating properly during my visit. No excess emissions were observed. Compliance indicated. ii. 15A NCAC 2D .0521, "Control of Visible Emissions"; Visible emissions from the emission sources at the facility should not be more than 20 percent opacity. Visible emissions of 5% or less were observed during my visit from the particulate control cyclone. Compliance indicated. iii. 15A NCAC 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 fugitive dust was observed during my visit to the facility. Compliance indicated. iv. 15A NCAC 2D .0611, "Monitoring Emissions from Other Sources"; Particulates are controlled via the use of a cyclone. The facility must inspect the bin vent filtration and cyclonic collection systems per the manufacturer's recommendations, and at a minimum annually, and maintain a logbook (either written or electronic) on-site of all inspections and maintenance performed on this control equipment. Mr. Farris and I discussed this requirement in detail. These items are not required since the facility is registered and not permitted. These logbooks were not viewed but invoices for cleaning were viewed. Cyclones were last cleaned on March 29, 2022 by Mobile Services. Compliance indicated. v. 15A NCAC 2D .1806, "Control and Prohibition of Odorous Emissions"; The facility shall take suitable measures to prevent odorous emissions from the facility operations from contributing to objectionable odors beyond the property boundary. No objectionable odors were observed in the area of the facility or on the facility's property during my visit. Compliance indicated. c. Records reviewed: The facility does not keep a logbook for maintenance of the cyclones or starch silo. Invoices were reviewed for bin vent service on April 11, 2022 and cyclone maintenance/service on March 29, 2022. d. Reports received: No annual or semi-annual reports are required. 5. Compliance History Review: The facility has not had any complaints or violations in the past 5 years. 5,Jackson Corrugated, LLC. 6. Stack Test Review: No stack tests are required or scheduled. 7. 112r Review: Jackson Corrugated, LLC. is subject to the 112(r)-program general duty clause but does not maintain regulated chemicals onsite above the threshold quantities, which would require a risk management plan. 8. Compliance Assistance: None recommended at this time. 9. Recommendations: None at this time. 10. Conclusion/Compliance Statement: Based on a review of records and facility site visit, at the time of this Compliance Assurance Visit, Jackson Corrugated, LLC. appears to be in compliance with applicable state and federal air quality regulations.
