Air Permit No. 05786R09
Dear Ms. Reese:
Air Permit No. 05786R09 was issued to Piedmont Wood Products, Inc., Taylorsville, Alexander
County North Carolina on November 26, 2014, with an effective date of November 26, 2014.
The facility is subject to the Boiler GACT—Subpart 6J (40 CFR 63, Subpart JJJJJJ). This Rule
applies to the No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler (ID No. I-B 1; 0.47 million Btu per hour maximum heat input).
The boiler is considered an existing unit since it was constructed prior to June 4, 2010. The facility must
implement a tune-up program as a management practice. The boiler is less than 5 million Btu per hour
and is considered a seasonal-use boiler. A boiler tune-up is required every five years and documentation
must be provided that demonstrates compliance with the tune-up.
Mr. Ryan Mills of this office performed an inspection of your facility on April 14, 2022. During
that inspection, Mr. Mills determined that the most recent tune-up had occurred on January 11, 2017. The
next boiler turn-up was due on or before January 11, 2022 and had not occurred at the time of the
inspection. Therefore, this Notice of Violation is issued to Piedmont Wood Products; Inc. for violation of
Air Permit No. 05786R09 and 40 CFR 63, Subpart JJJJJJ.
