Inspection Narrative:
On February 24, 2021, I received a complaint regarding dust coming from
Harrison Construction Division of APAC-Atlantic Inc. quarry in Murphy,NC. After
speaking with the complainant, I contacted Mr. Don Mason, Environmental
Compliance/Quality Control for APAC-Atlantic Inc., to discuss the concerns raised by
the complaint.
Note-APAC has contracted all the crushing operation at this facility to a mobile
contractor. This equipment was first observed during a September 2, 2020 inspection.
On the morning of February 25, 2021, I traveled to the facility, arriving at 9:50.
Mr. Mason arrived shortly thereafter. This was an announced inspection due to COVID-
19 restrictions. Per these restrictions both Mr. Mason and I were wearing facemasks and
maintaining social distancing during the inspection. Mr. Mason and I observed the fines
crusher and wash plant in operation. This is a mobile plant setup next to the permanent
crushing plant. The equipment appeared to be operating with spray bars running and
very little dust being emitted. A water truck was observed watering the haul roads.
Next we went to the top of the mountain where the large stone crushing occurs
that provides material to the lower plant. This too is a mobile plant consisting of a
crusher and a screen. This part of the operation was not running because of a breakdown
the afternoon of February 24, 2021. The screen did not match the equipment list I had for
the facility. The operator explained that the old screen had burned up three or four weeks

ago and they had rented a replacement screen. Since the equipment was not running, I
could not verify that the spray bars had been connected to the new screen or if they were
in working order. A spray nozzle inspection was documented on February 3, 2021 where
nozzles were cleaned and a new pump was installed, however it is unclear if this applied
to the new screen. Mr. Mason said he was unaware of the equipment change and would
investigate the replacement and provide us with more information. The operator
explained that it had been extremely windy the previous few days which may have
contributed to any dusting. There did not appear to be any stock piles of material that
was fine enough that the wind would lift up. If there was fugitive dust recently, it would
appear to have had to come from the equipment or the haul road. I reminded the operator
to ensure that the spray bars were running and in good working order.
Mr. Mason responded via email on March 9, 2021 with a new flow chart and
equipment list reflecting the replacement equipment as well as a formal notification letter
for installation of the new equipment.
Particulate Control Requirement:
Water suppression was observed in use during operation as well as wetting of the haul
roads. No fugitive dust emissions were observed at the property boundary.
Visible Emissions Control Requirement:
Visible emissions were observed to be in compliance with this requirement.
NSPS
Most of the equipment observed is subject to NSPS, Subpart 000.
Emissions Limitations:
Water suppression was observed in use during operation. Visible emissions were
observed but appeared to meet stated emission limits. During the September 2, 2020
inspection, I had discussed with Mr. Mason the possibility of installing a water tank
in order to increase water pressure. At that time, he had indicated that the pressure
from the well they are using was not as great as what is achieved at the stationary
plant where they have a water tank. I did not see evidence that this had been done.
Monitoring & Recordkeeping requirements:
Inspection logs for the water spray nozzles were observed and met requirements.
Four cleaning and inspection entries were logged since the previous air quality
inspection on September 2, 2020 visit with the most recent being February 3, 2021.
Performance Testing:
Performance testing was conducted on most subject equipment(except the new
screen) on July 6, 2018. Results indicated compliance. In Mr. Mason's notification
letter received on March 9, 2021, he states that the start-up date for the new screen
observed during this inspection was determined to be December 16, 2020. In the

same letter, Mr. Mason indicated that NSPS testing will be performed within 60 days
of achieving maximum production but no later than 180 days.
NSPS, Subpart 000 [40 CFR 60.676(i)] requires that"a notification of the actual
date of initial startup of each affected facility shall be submitted... postmarked within
15 days after such date". It appears the Permittee failed to submit the required startup
notification in the timeframe allowed by the reporting requirements.
Fugitive Dust Control Requirement:
No fugitive dust emissions were observed at the property boundary during this
inspection. However, a dust complaint was received on February 24, 2021. It is possible
that the new replacement screening equipment combined with unusually windy
conditions may have resulted in fugitive dust emissions, but they were not observed
during this site visit.
Quarry Equipment Reporting:
Mr. Mason did not have an updated equipment list or flow chart containing the
replacement screen. He provided a complete equipment list and flow diagram for the
new setup via email on March 9, 2021.
Permit Retention Requirement:
Mr. Mason provided a copy of the current permit.
5 Year Compliance History:
A Notice of Deficiency was issued on August 8, 2019 for failure to maintain an
equipment list and flow diagram at the facility.
Comments and Compliance Statement:
Construction Division of APAC-Atlantic Inc. was determined to be out of compliance as
a result of the inspection on February 25, 2021, and follow up on March 9, 2021. This
was because they did not provide a notification for a piece of equipment subject to
Subpart 000 within 15 days of the startup date, and because they failed to maintain an
up to date equipment list or flow chart onsite that listed the new equipment.
