Facility Description:
Boone Lumber, Inc. is a sawing and planning operation that finishes lumber for commercial
builders. Dried lumber of all dimensions is procured and stacked on site. The lumber is cut by
saws to length and width then planned to meet customer specifications. Wood waste is handled
through a duct system that is controlled by a cyclone. The wood waste is blown into collection
trailers. The facility's production was estimated to be approximately 50% planning and 50%
sawing, but currently the demand is approximately 60% rough lumber. The facility also sprays
paint and/or stamps each end of the lumber for identification purposes.

Hours: 40 hrs/wk
Employees: 12
The facility's normal operating hours are Monday-Thursday from Sam to 5:30pm with half days

rule states that any facility whose actual emissions of particulate matter(PM10), sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, hazardous air pollutants, and
toxic air pollutants are each less than five tons per year and whose actual total aggregate emissions
are less than 10 tons per year shall not be required to obtain a permit pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q
