Directions: From the intersection of Hwy. 64/90 and Hwy. 127 in Taylorsville, travel Hwy. 127 south
approximately 8 miles to Bethlehem,turn left onto Rink Dam Road,travel approximately 0.6 mile and the
facility is located on the left at 661 Rink Dam Road.
Safety Equipment: Safety glasses, ear protection and steel toe shoes are required for an inspection at this
facility.
Safety Issues: None.
Facility LAT/Long: A review of the facility's coordinates on"Map of Regulated AQ Facilities" indicate
that the facility's latitude and longitude coordinates are accurate. The coordinates are locked in IBeam.
Email Contacts: The facility email contacts were verified. No changes are needed in IBEAM.
Compliance Assurance Visit:
1. The purpose of this site visit was to conduct a routine compliance assurance visit. This facility
manufactures upholstered furniture. The plant currently operates ten hours per day, four days per
week, Monday through Thursday. The facility processed approximately 35,000 bd. ft. of lumber
per month during 2021. I was accompanied on this inspection by Mr. Johnny Slagle, CFO.
2. Facility Contact Information:
During the inspection I verified the facility contact information in IBEAM with Mr. Slagle. No
changes to the facility contact information are needed in IBEAM.
3. Compliance History:
No problems have been noted in the last five years by DAQ, prior to this inspection. The current
compliance status is discussed in the following sections.
4. Source Observations:
This facility has one cyclone installed on woodworking equipment. The facility also has two dry
filter type paint spray booths. The cyclone and both dry filter spray booths were installed after July
1, 1971 and are subject to the 20% opacity limit for visible emissions when averaged over a six-
minute period.

Woodworking equipment consisting of saws, sander,planer and shop floor cleanup ducts that are
vented to the cyclone. Various woodworking equipment and the cyclone were not in operation. I
observed no visible emissions from the woodworking equipment or the exhaust of the cyclone
during this visit. Annual maintenance checks are being performed on the cyclone.
Various sealers, lacquers are applied via atomized spray guns to wooden furniture surfaces in the
dry filter spray booths. Containers were properly closed with tightly fitting lids and no defects
were found in the container or lids. During the compliance assurance visit, I observed no open
containers, spills or any other cleaning operations being conducted at this facility.
This office has not received any fugitive dust emissions complaints regarding this facility. This
facility has paved roads. During this visit,I observed no fugitive dust from this facility. I discussed
with Mr. Slagle if any excess emissions had occurred at this facility since the last inspection on
March 11,2020. Mr. Slagle stated that no excess emissions had occurred at this facility.
There are no gasoline storage tanks, engines/generators/fire pumps,boilers or any other sources at
this facility. Therefore,this facility is not subject to the requirements of NSPS,NESHAP/MACT,
RACT or 112(r).
5. Exemption Qualification:
This facility submitted a request to rescind Air Permit No. 08669R03 on August 15,2016. This
office sent a letter dated December 9,2016 rescinding the current air permit since the actual facility-
wide emissions of particulate matter(PM10), sulfur dioxide,nitrogen oxides,volatile organic
compounds,carbon monoxide,hazardous air pollutants(HAP) and toxic air pollutants(TAP)has
been less than five tons per year and the total aggregate emissions of these pollutants are less than
ten tons per year. This facility has not changed or modified the equipment to increase emissions
above the exemption thresholds since the rescission request. Therefore,this facility still qualifies for
exemption under 15A NCAC 2Q .0102(d).
6. Compliance Determination:
Based on my observations,this facility appeared to be in compliance with the air quality rules(21)
.0521-visible emissions; 2D .05 15-particulates from miscellaneous industrial process; 2D .0535-
excess emissions;2D .0540-fugitive dust emissions;2D .0611-cyclone maintenance requirements)
at the time of the visit. The compliance assurance visit checklist is attached on page 4.
