Compliance History
This facility has a history of operating in compliance with DAQ rules. This assessment is
based on a review of the office file documents and IBeam module data associated with this
source. The review revealed that zero (0)NOD's,NOV's, or NRE's have been issued during
the past 5 years (time period reviewed).
GACT Generators/Engines Status
There are no emergency or non-emergency generators located onsite;therefore,NSPS Subpart
IIII and JJJJ, and NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ are not applicable.
Concrete-Batch Process Concrete-Batch Process Descriytion
This plant produces what is defined as ready-mix concrete mixture through a batch process.
The maximum rated production capacity is 80 cubic yards per hour, which is documented in
the air permit.
Typical production equipment consists of dozers,front end loaders,aggregate bins,conveyors,
cement storage silos, flyash storage silos, weigh hopper, and transport trucks equipped with
mixers.
Concrete batch plant operations primarily consist of silo loading, weigh hopper loading
(cement and flyash), aggregate transfer by conveyors, and mixer (truck loading activities)
loading.
A concrete batch plant stores, conveys, measures, and discharges the ingredients for making
concrete according to a set recipe.
This involves the transfer of sand, aggregates, cement, and flyash, into transit-mix trucks.
Cement and flyash are transferred from silos to the weigh hopper as a conveyor transfers sand
Page 2 of 11

Southport Concrete Corporation
August 21,2020
and aggregates into a discharge area located below the weigh hopper.
The ingredients for making concrete (sand, aggregates, cement, flyash, etc.) are discharged
into a transit mixer truck by gravity through the discharge area, which is partially enclosed.
The discharge area is normally equipped with a flexible boot(hose or chute)that transfers the
ingredients into the truck mixer.
The ingredients are then mixed with water to form concrete as the trucks travel to construction
sites.
Process Pollutants and Emissions
The primary air pollutant associated with concrete batch plants is particulate matter(PM 2.5,
PM-10 and TSP).
Onsite vehicle and equipment movement and wind erosion from stockpiled materials can
generate non-process fugitive dust emissions during dry weather conditions.
Particulate emissions are generated during the pneumatic transfer of material (cement and
flyash) from tanker truck to storage silo. The emissions occur as the silo fills and air is
displaced through the bagfilter.
Fugitive dust emissions are generated as sand and aggregates are conveyed from storage into
transit-mix trucks and as flyash and cement are transferred from silo to weigh hopper into
transit-mix trucks.
When the materials (aggregates, cement, and flyash, etc.) are discharged into the truck mixer,
fugitive dust is generated from what this writer describes as blowback emissions. The mixer
is rotating slowly and is designed with metal flights for mixing purposes. This creates an
environment(air movement)that basically blows or forces dust out of the truck mixer into the
ambient air around the unsealed edge of the line (hose, chute, or boot) that is used to transfer
cement, flyash, and aggregates into the mixer.
The fugitive dust emissions associated with blowback phenomena appear to be much heavier
during periods of moderate to heavy winds. Visible emissions can be excessive unless the
mixer truck is equipped with a hooded enclosure of some type with a vacuum point,which is
not the case at this plant. Even if this plant were equipped with an enclosure and vacuum
system, visible emissions in the form of fugitive dust would still occur to some degree during
periods of moderate and heavy wind in the opinion of this writer. It should be noted that the
truckload out system is equipped with a flexible rubber boot (hose) that extends from the
weigh hopper/aggregate load out operation down into the mix truck. This increases the
efficiency of the system and reduces fugitive dust emissions (blowback from truck) during
transport (mix) truck loading.

* Currently operating (ES1, ES2, and ES3).
* ES4 is onsite but not installed.
Ross Company of Brownwood Texas manufactured the mobile(portable)batch plant(Rustler
II). This plant was brand new and put at this location in 1996. Mr. Chiulli took ownership of
the facility in 2004.
This portable plant is equipped with a combination cement and/or flyash bin(used as a silo).
The cement weigh hopper and loading operation is controlled by a small bagfilter(ES-2)that
operates by natural draft (no fan).
This bagfilter is located on the weigh hopper housing and is an integral part of the process.
The ES-1 silo is the main cement silo. It and the associated bagfilter(240 sq. ft. of filter area)
are operating. This bagfilter is currently fairly new and was installed in May 2018. The air
permit was recently modified on December 21, 2017 to add this slightly larger and more
efficient(jet pulse self-cleaning)baghouse for the cement silo.
The ES-3 silo (blue) and associated bagfilter(240 square feet of filter area) is currently non-
operational and is down for repairs due to a gear box problem. This is the flyash silo. The
facility is currently therefore not using flyash.
The ES-4 silo (gray/beige) and associated bagfilter are on site but not completely installed.
The facility has no plans to operate this unit now; however, the company does not want to
remove the equipment from the permit.

The mobile concrete crusher equipped with screener and conveyors listed above previously
operated onsite on a periodic basis. The maximum crushing capacity for this unit is 115 tph.
The mobile plant normally crushed less than 10,000 tons and burned less than 2,500 gallons of
diesel fuel during any 12-month rolling time period. No crushing is currently occurring with the
115 tph mobile concrete crusher because the equipment is down for maintenance. Before last
year, no crushing had taken place since April of 2015. Before that, 300 to 400 tons of concrete
were crushed per month. Crushing was taking place during the inspection with a different and
newer 110 tph mobile concrete crusher equipped with screener and conveyors. More on this to
follow.
A permit to operate these mobile crushers is not required due to the capacity (less than 150 tph);
if the plant crushes less than 300,000 tons per year and burns less than 17,000 gallons of diesel
fuel at any one site.
The facility previously removed a small No. 2 oil-fired boiler (5.23 million BTU per hour
maximum heat input) from the site.
The boiler had been used to supply heat(steam) for a concrete curing process associated with a
pre-stress concrete products operation located on site.
The curing process is now accomplished through ambient temperatures.
This pre-stress operation is used to manufacture septic tanks and concrete beams for bulkheads
and permit to operate is not currently required due to emissions (less than 5 tpy TSP). The
facility makes septic tanks occasionally. No septic tanks were made in the last several years,
however three(3)septic tanks were made recently back in January 2020 according to Mr. Chiulli.
Some concrete beams for bulkheads were also made several years ago. 100% of the business
here is currently ready-mix concrete.
All three insignificant sources have potential emissions less than 5 tons per year.

Control System Maintenance
Bagfrlter maintenance and recordkeeping requirements are addressed in Condition No A (7)
of Permit No. 08605R07.
The facility is required to conduct one annual internal inspection of the bagfilter system in
addition to performing the periodic inspections and maintenance as recommended by the
equipment manufacturer along with maintaining a record of all work.
The bagfilters are monitored visually daily when operating.
One internal bagfilter maintenance inspection is conducted monthly during normal operation.
Bagfrlter maintenance records are being maintained (manually) as required by the permit and
are available for review.
The bagfilters were last inspected(internally)on June 25,2020 and there were no repair issues
addressed. All the bags in the cement silo (ES-1) were replaced on April 23, 2020. All the
bags (4 small)were replaced in the weigh hopper baghouse on April 23, 2020 as well.
The new cement silo baghouse was put into operation in May 2018. The flyash silo baghouse
is scheduled to be changed out when it is repaired and put back into operation. The flyash silo
baghouse is also a jet pulse self-cleaning type baghouse,which prolongs the life of those bags.
Repairs/changes to all bagfilters are made as necessary when needed and a full inventory of
bags is maintained on site for replacement purposes.
Compliance with the annual internal inspection, maintenance, and recordkeeping
requirements is being achieved. A copy of the last few months of baghouse maintenance logs
are attached for reference.
Line Delivery Pressure Monitoring
The line pressure associated with the pneumatic transfer of cement and flyash from a tanker
truck is monitored by the facility.
Page 6 of 11

Southport Concrete Corporation
August 21,2020
Excess delivery pressure (above 12 psi for cement and 10 psi for flyash) can result in filter
failure due to the increased line velocity.
This velocity or delivery pressure can result in silo overfilling which allows the stored material
to be pulled or vacuumed into the associated control device damaging the unit and reducing
efficiency.
Delivery pressure, if excessive, also has the potential to damage the silo product supply line
because such pressure can have a sandblasting affect that creates holes and leaks.
The facility limits the line delivery pressure of cement to 12 psi and flyash to 10 psi.
Additional Info
This facility monitors silo inventories through the computer on a continuous basis. In addition,
one manual sounding is conducted daily. This prevents silo overfilling and the damage that
can occur because of a computer product tracking error.
This facility will water the main plant access road and the plant premises with mixer trucks
during dry weather conditions. This is currently being done as needed.
Inspection Summary
A complaint driven Full Compliance Evaluation (FCE) was conducted on July 28, 2020. A
follow up site visit was conducted on August 11, 2020.
John Chiulli, Plant General Manager, and Carlton Nobles, Crusher Operator, were the onsite
inspection contacts.
The air permit, applicable rules, maintenance requirements, and the recent dust complaints
were discussed with Mr. Chiulli during the inspection.
The current loading rate for this facility is approximately one hundred and twenty-five (125)
yards of cement per day. This facility currently runs seven(7) trucks out of this site.
A load of cement was observed being loaded into the cement storage silo by tanker truck
during the inspection. The opacity reading for visible emissions was 0%. Transport trucks
were also observed being loaded with no fugitive dust being produced.
This facility receives approximately five (5) to seven (7) loads of cement per week with an
average process rate of twenty-five (25) tons per load per hour. Loading time is usually one
hour.
No non-process or process fugitive dust emissions were observed migrating on or beyond the
property line during the inspection.

The newer, permanent concrete crusher was observed operating on site during the last
compliance inspection on July 29,2019,on a follow up site visit on July 31,2019, on October
18, 2019 in response to a complaint, and during this July 28, 2020 compliance
inspection/complaint investigation.
On July 25, 2019 a nearby residential neighbor called DAQ WiRO to complain about a
concrete crusher causing dust impacts off site. DAQ WiRO called the facility and asked them
to utilize water spray and mitigate dust. On July 29, 2019 a site inspection was conducted.
Contact was made with John Chiulli, General Manager. It had been several years since
concrete crushing last took place here. The crushed material is sold by Southport Concrete
for ABC (crush and run) material for driveways, etc. The crusher was observed operating
during that inspection for a trial run for just a few minutes. Dust suppression (water) was
present and operating on the equipment but appeared to not be adequate enough. Fugitive
emissions appeared to be too much therefore the equipment was immediately shut down until
more corrective action could be taken. The washout material being crushed is naturally very
dry so it is imperative to wet the material before and during crushing,screening and conveying
to avoid excessive fugitives. This crusher is rated at 110 tons per hour,but operates at 80 tons
per hour according to plant personnel. A 6 cylinder diesel engine powers this equipment. The
facility recently purchased and is using a 70 gallon per hour pump to get the well water that is
stored in a nearby storage tank up to the crushing equipment. The facility had been crushing
on and off for the past two to three months and had crushed a total of 4,000 tons up to that
point. A follow up inspection was done two days later on July 31, 2019 to observe the
equipment operating after some corrective actions were taken. The crusher appeared to be
operating at 0% opacity all morning long. I took a video and pictures. No fugitive dust was
observed coming the equipment. The crusher operation now contains 13 sprayers on it. There
are 5 sprayers located at the crusher, 5 sprayers at the discharge belt, and 3 sprayers at the
screener. I was very pleased with the measures the facility took with this matter and the results
of their work. The complainant was informed of my findings after the inspection. He seemed
very receptive and was pleased with DAQ's complaint response. Pictures of this crusher were
attached to that inspection report for reference.
On October 8,2019,the complainant called DAQ WiRO to indicate the concrete crusher was
currently dusting and the wind was blowing the dust towards his house. Unable to make an
immediate trip to the plant site, I called and spoke to John Chiulli to find out what was going
on. He indicated that he observed the concrete crusher dusting earlier today and immediately
told his employee to shut it down. He indicated a main water hose on the equipment broke
and said it would be fixed before crushing operations resume.
On October 18, 2019, I conducted an unannounced site visit to the plant to observe the
concrete crushing. Water was observed present at the crusher and conveyor areas and the pile
of material being crushed was observed wet. I observed no dust coming from the crusher and
took pictures at the time.
On January 6, 2020, I conducted dust complaint surveillance at the complainant's home in
response to another recent complaint of ongoing dust issues from time to time with the
concrete crusher near his home. The crusher was not operating in the morning or afternoon
Page 8 of 11

Southport Concrete Corporation
August 21,2020
on that day.
On May 26, 2020, the complainant called and indicated the concrete crusher was currently
dusting and dust was falling on his property. I called and spoke with John Chiulli. He said
they were crushing concrete at the time with water present on the unit. He said he would walk
over to take a look at the crusher and offered to send me a picture. He then called me a short
time later and said the crusher just clogged up and had to be shut down before he could get a
picture. He indicted the hill behind the complainant has been reduced in size a good bit and
they were almost through crushing the remaining washout in that area of the plant. Due to the
recent number of dust complaints, he indicated they will immediately move the crusher 60 to
70 feet further away from the complainant's home to the other side of the screener in order to
crush to remaining wash out material nearby. He indicated to me that he has been receiving
concrete from offsite from individuals and crushing that material at the crusher's present
location. He indicated he would stop doing that immediately until they can get the crusher
moved to a permanent spot on the other side of the property as far away from the complainant's
home as possible. I concurred with those plans and reiterated to Mr. Chiulli that fugitive dust
from the crusher must not go beyond the property line. It should be noted that certain work
restrictions(no full scale site inspections,no meeting with the public at their home, etc.)were
put into place during this time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
On July 21,2020,the complainant entailed me complaining of dust issues again. I was off on
vacation week that particular week and planned to address this issue when I got back to work
next week. On July 24, 2020, I received a phone call from my supervisor indicating the
complainant had very recently entailed Asst.Secretary,Sheila Holman,complaining about the
dust and for me to please call the complainant today if possible to discuss this matter. I
immediately called the complainant to discuss his complaint. I informed him that I would do
a site inspection at the facility next week and would also meet with him at his residence. On
July 27, 2020, our office received a forwarded citizen complaint from Representative Frank
Iler's office concerning dust, asbestos and well water issues at this facility. All of this email
correspondence is attached for reference.
On July 28, 2020 at 9:30 am, I met with the complainant at his home to observe and discuss
the dust issues. Only the top of the operating excavator being used for crushing was visible
from the complainant's property. I observed a small amount of dust coming from either the
crusher area or from the plant grounds resulting from vehicle traffic. I could not see exactly
where the dust was coming from because the berm was blocking my view. I then conducted
an unannounced facility inspection at the concrete plant site. Upon arrival, I immediately
observed the concrete crusher operating with three water sprays present on the equipment.
There was one sprayer located at the crusher and two sprayers located at the discharge belt.
A small amount of dust of was observed coming from the crusher (5-10% opacity) but was
not observed drifting beyond the property line. Pictures were taken. Contact was then made
with the Crusher Operator, Carlton Nobles, and General Manager, John Chiulli. Mr. Chiulli
indicated the crusher was moved 50 to 75 feet further away from the complainant since our
last conversation on May 26,2020. I suggested that more water sprayers needed to be installed
on the crusher to completely prevent any dust from coming from it. Mr. Chiulli concurred
and indicated he would install those measures very soon and would also install sprinklers to
Page 9 of 11

Southport Concrete Corporation
August 21,2020
the high traffic areas of the plant grounds to prevent airborne fugitive emissions. I requested
for a follow up inspection to occur in the near future once these measures were taken. The
hill of concrete material located directly behind the complainant appears to have been reduced
by 90% from what is was previously. Mr. Chiulli indicated that plans are to be completely
done crushing the material located directly behind the complainant in the next week or two.
He indicated the crusher will be moving another 50 to 75 feet further away from the
complainant when this occurs. He indicated the amount of concrete material he has received
recently from offsite has been minimized since our May conversation. Mr. Chiulli estimated
they are currently crushing 250 tons per day (10 truckloads per day) for an estimated total of
20,000 tons per year. He indicated they are accepting on the average of five pickup up truck
loads per week of raw concrete material received from offsite. He also indicated that they
recently put down some millings on part of the plant grounds and that has helped prevent
fugitive emissions from that particular area.
On July 29,2020,Jeff Dellinger,Industrial Hygiene Consultant Supervisor with the NC Dept.
of Health and Human Services Health Hazards Control Unit(HHCU),inquired to DAQ WIRO
about asbestos concerns when concrete is crushed at this facility. He requested digital photos
of the piles of the non-ground concrete located onsite. Email correspondence about this matter
is attached.
Mr. Chiulli called on July 30,2020 to indicate that they just added four additional water spray
bars on the concrete crusher. He said the crusher was up and running this morning with the
new water measures in place, however a part broke on the equipment so the crusher will be
shut down for maintenance until after the impending hurricane.
I spoke with Jeff Dellinger(HHCU) on August 3, 2020 to inform him that I have a follow up
site inspection scheduled for after the hurricane to observe the latest measures the facility has
taken to prevent dust. I informed him that I would take pictures per his request during the
upcoming visit. No site visit was able to be conducted the week of August 3, 2020 due to the
landfall of Hurricane Isaias.
Mr. Chiulli called the morning of August 11,2020 to inform the concrete crusher was up and
running and invited me to come down for the follow up site inspection. I arrived at the facility
later on that morning to conduct my follow up. Upon arrival, the plant grounds appeared wet
from the heavy rain the night before. No fugitive dust was observed from the plant grounds
during the inspection. The concrete crusher was observed operating at 0% opacity (no dust)
throughout the inspection with adequate water spray present on the unit. Pictures of the
concrete crusher were taken. Five water sprayers (four newly installed) were observed at the
crusher. Two sprayers were observed at the discharge belt(as before). A new sprinkler system
was observed installed by the access road where the concrete material is received from offsite.
A picture of the sprinkler was taken. Mr. Chiulli indicated that he plans to install one more
sprinkler system in another heavy traffic area location on the plant grounds. He indicated that
plans are to keep extending the road where the concrete material is received further along
down the perimeter of the property and the crusher will move with the road and further away
from the complainant as time goes on. He indicated the remaining large pile of washout will
mostly be screened (not crushed) and water spray will be installed on the screener when this
Page 10 of 11

Southport Concrete Corporation
August 21,2020
occurs. Mr. Chiulli also indicated the concrete crusher operator,Carlton Nobles,is scheduled
for shoulder surgery in September and he will be out of work for six months, so crushing will
probably not occur while he is out.
On August 12, 2020 I sent Jeff Dellinger, HHCU, pictures of the non-ground piles of concrete
located on site. Mr. Dellinger indicated that he is looking to see if the facility grinds concrete
that has painted surfaces or coatings, mastics or glues or oil stains on the concrete. All of these
types of coatings could contain asbestos and cannot be ground until the owner/operator hires a
NC accredited asbestos inspector to collect samples and receive the lab results documenting the
materials do not contain asbestos. If asbestos is identified then grinding concrete with asbestos
is not allowed and the material must be disposed of in an approved landfill. Raw or untreated
concrete typically does not contain asbestos. The pictures I took indicted only a very small
amount of painted concrete material. Mr. Dellinger has been in contact with Mr. Chiulli recently
about this matter and suggested the facility put up a sign where the concrete is delivered stating
only raw concrete material can be received with no paint, mastics, glues, or oil stains on the
concrete. He also suggested a dumpster be placed at this area. Mr. Dellinger indicated he has
draft guidance that addresses asbestos when grinding concrete and is currently waiting on
management to review before giving Mr. Chiulli a copy. Mr. Dellinger indicated that he is
planning a site visit to this facility in the near future and indicated he will contact me so we could
meet together and perform a joint site visit.
This plant produced 31,075 cubic yards of concrete in CY 2015, 31,932 cubic yards in CY
2016, 30,285.5 cubic yards in CY 2017, 30,226.5 cubic yards in CY 2018, and 28,047 cubic
yards in CY 2019.
Southport Concrete Corporation is accepted in compliance with Air Quality rules during the
inspection and subsequent follow-up.

The Dust continues. Just letting you know that the dust from the sight is getting wors once
again.They are bringing on more concrete to the berm behind me and dry is an
understatement Just the movement of the excavator and trucks is enough to cause the dust
to become airborne. This site is clearly not being wet down. I do hope you can respond
appropriately without contacting them directly therefore you can witness same in person.
The screening machine is located directly behind my house I have not seen it operational
today however if it cranks up there will be a tremendous amount of dust.The wind is
keeping it off my property at the moment however even with the sour wind yesterday I still
had dust falling here on my property. Have a great day.

Scott , per our conversation today 1 wanted to thank you for stopping by the
plant and observing the operation today. I do appreciate your call with your
findings. The dust has been kept to a minimum due to the concrete crusher
being down for repairs. The only concern I have at this moment aside from dust
is groundwater and the close proximity to my well, the only water source I have. I
did find out that most of the concrete is being delivered to the site to be
reclaimed at this time and is coming from the waste treatment plant that is being
disassembled in Southport near the marina. I still feel that it is necessary for the
local residents to have well water testing provided by the county free of charge
because we are not offered county water at this time. If this operation was not
"grandfathered" it would be required to be classified industrial under zoning and
potential require more permitting under state DEQ and Brunswick County.

Subject:Air&Water Safety Concern regarding Southport Concrete located at 3710 Skyview lane,
Southport, NC 28461
Rep. Frank Iler,
In the last two years the Southport Concrete Corporation, located just behind the Oakwood
Glen subdivision, has been grinding reclaimed concrete irresponsibly. The reclaimed concrete
is coming from multiple demolition projects throughout the county,two of which are
confirmed to be the old Oak Island Bridge and the Southport sewage treatment facility.
Although the Southport Concrete Corporation has always been a neighbor,in the last two
years especially I've begun to notice some harmful and irresponsible practices at the Plant.
What first caught my attention was the increasing size of the berm just behind the Oakwood
Glen subdivision. As the berm grew larger,the Oakwood Glen subdivision began to
experience problems with flooding.This flooding, however, was minor in comparison to the
current problem. Aside from the obvious complaints of noise that come from the plant,the
Oakwood Glen subdivision is suffocating in the hazardous dust that is produced from them
grinding the reclaimed concrete in irresponsible ways.To my understanding, if the plant were
operating within the constraints of the law,the berm and concrete would be wet before
grinding in order to prevent the dust. While concrete dust is harmful on its own,the
reclaimed concrete from the Oak Island Bridge is more hazardous because the bridge was
constructed during a period of time when asbestos was used to strengthen concrete.
Asbestos is extremely dangerous to human health when airborne. Concrete is also
https://outlook.offiec365.com/maiUsentitems/id/AAQkADRkYzNmM WFiL WQzNjktNDc... 7/27/2020

Page 5 of 6
constructed with fly ash,which is very poisonous to both people and the environment. Both
of these dangerous substances are likely being released Into the air and are contaminating to
homes and the environment. Due to the plant's location in this residentially zoned district,
the Oakwood Glen subdivision is facing potential problems with both decreasing property
values and damage. Not to mention the burden of not being able to have ready access to
clean, potable water.
Another issue is the fact that both family and neighbors rely on well water since the county
does not offer water in the Oakwood Glen subdivision residential area. The Oakwood Glen
subdivision has reached out to the county to have the well water tested,though their
response was that the residents would have to pay$350 each in order to have this
done—even though this is a serious threat to the residents of this area. It is my thinking that
the county should offer to test the water for free considering that they do not offer water to
this area and the threat that the plant poses to the water table. The pump house at a few
locations are approximately seventy-five (75) feet away from the largest berm and the
concrete grinder.That same berm is within approximately forty (40)feet away from most
property lines. What Is perhaps most baffling about this situation is the location of the plant,
which is zoned as a residential area.The plant has also been extending its footprint in recent
years, and has begun to spill over property lines.
Despite having many videos of this irresponsible behavior, the community has been unable to
warrant any resolution from any of the state DEQ or county officials so far.
As stated before,this concrete dust is causing a great deal of stress and anxiety, as the
community has to inhale these hazardous byproducts every day. I respectfully ask that the
North Carolina Department of Environment Quality investigate Southport Concrete
Corporation's operation to see if more stringent monitoring could be added to their permit.
According to the North Carolina Division of Air Quality inspection report filed on August 7,
2019, quarterly, semi-annual or annual reporting is not required.The report also noted that
the plant is"classified as poor based on the visible condition of the processing equipment."
On behalf of the neighbors in Oakwood Glen, as well as those residing in the adjacent Town
of St.lames, I respectfully request that you return to inspect the plant's operations and
require more frequent reporting on their air quality permit. Please let us know how we can
assist in this matter.
Very Respectfully,
Brannon Gray
Be safe and cover six,

Subject: RE:quick question for you
I can use close ups,several feet away and general photo showing amount of non-ground concrete.
I'm interested to see if they intend or usually grind concrete that has painted surfaces or coatings,
mastics or glues or oil stains on the concrete. All of these type of coatings could contain asbestos and
cannot be ground until the owner/operator hires a NC accredited asbestos inspector to collect
samples and receive the lab results documenting the materials do not contain asbestos.
If asbestos is identified than grinding concrete with asbestos is not allowed and the material must be
disposed of in an approved landfill.
Raw or untreated concrete typically does not contain asbestos.
However,we have identified asbestos in the concrete itself when it comes from a concrete pad where
a boiler was located or concrete slabs from multi-story buildings where they used asbestos leveling
cement to make the concrete ceiling look smooth.

I spoke with our Wilmington Regional Supervisor on this issue this afternoon. The DAQ inspector was
on site Monday&will return on Thursday or next Monday. He will take more detailed pictures for
you at that time. Do you need close ups? Within 12",6"or just general 10'away photos?
The inspector plans to take close up photos of the material before grinding and immediately after
grinding.
Thanks for all of your help.
