(I)DIRECTIONS TO SITE: From RRO,take I-440 W for 40 miles.Take exit 70B to merge onto US-421 N toward Siler
City/Greensboro. After 6.9 miles,make a sharp right turn to the facility.The facility is surrounded by a chain link fence.
(Il)FACILITY DESCRIPTION: C&D Materials Recovery Facility—Goldston operates an air curtain incinerator,the Air
Burners S119R FireBox(ID No.ACI),which has a 5 tons per hour maximum firing capacity.The facility burns mostly wood
waste consisting of trees,logs,large brush, stumps relatively free of soil,and clean lumber.

Safety: Safety shoes and safety vest are required at all times.A hard hat is required in areas where there is a danger of falling
objects.Hearing protection and glasses are required when the grinder is in operation.
(III)INSPECTION SUMMARY: On September 15,2021,I(Sindy Huang)met with Mr.Bobby Branch for an air quality
compliance inspection.We first sat down to review the permit,before viewing the ACI.Mr.Branch said that the ACI has run
twice since he bought it,but didn't like it,and so switched to using a grinder to mulch wood waste instead of burning it.
However,the facility did not submit a notification of startup prior to starting up nor perform a Method 9 test after starting up.
Both of these actions are violations of NSPS 40 CFR PART 60 SUBPART EEEE.After talking to Ms.Taylor Hartsfield,
Regional Supervisor,it was decided that the facility will be sent an NOV.
(IV)PERMITTED EMISSION SOURCES:At the time of the inspection,Elite Waste Services,LLC is operating under Air
Permit No. 10656G00,effective June 19,2020,and expires May 31,2025.The facility's only piece of permitted equipment is
their air curtain incinerator(ID No.ACI).
(V)APPLICABLE AIR QUALITY REGULATIONS: As is the case with all Title V permits,Air Permit No. 10605GOI lists
all of the air quality regulations that apply to each of the permitted emission sources. To avoid redundancy in this report, the
applicable air quality regulations are discussed individually,and all of the permitted emission sources that are subject to a
specific regulation are noted.
(1) 15A NCAC 02D.1904: AIR CUR TAIN INCINERA TORS
The facility is only permitted to burn a 100 percent mixture of only wood waste,clean lumber,and yard waste.The facility
may not burn during Code"Orange"days.Burning shall be conducted only between the hours of 8:00 a.m.and 6:00 p.m.
Emission Limitations: The opacity must remain less or equal to 35 percent during startup of the air curtain incinerator and
less than or equal to 10 percent at all times.
Testing: Initial and annual Method 9 opacity tests shall be performed to ensure the facility meets the above opacity
requirements.The initial opacity test results shall be sent to the Division no later than 60 days following the initial test and

opacity tests shall be kept onsite in either paper copy or electronic format for 5 years.
Recordkeeping and Reporting:Prior to commencing construction of an air curtain incinerator,the owner or operator of a
new air curtain incinerator shall submit a notification of intent to construct an air curtain incinerator,the planned initial
startup date of the air curtain incinerator,and the materials planned to be combusted in the air curtain incinerator.
Appears to be in violation—The facility did not submit a notification of intent to construct an air curtain incinerator,
the planned initial startup date of the air curtain incinerator,nor the materials planned to be combusted in the air
curtain incinerator.The facility also did not conduct an initial Method 9 test after starting up.
