III. Facility and Process Description:
The Quikrete Companies-Peachland is a dry concrete mixing facility that dries and packages play sand,
concrete,mortar and mason mix,and grout. This facility is permitted under Air Permit No. 06907RO9,
effective from 25 November 2014 until 31 October 2022.
The facility receives cement and mortar in powder form and stores these materials in silos. The facility
dries sand and gravel in a rotary dryer and stores these materials in silos. The facility has single silos
for dry sand/gravel, all-purpose sand, and play sand. The fourth is a"split" silo that holds masonry
cement,fly ash, and Portland cement. The materials are metered out of the silos and mixed prior to
packaging in 50 pound bags or large bulk bags. Particulate emissions from the silos,the dryer and the
mixing/packaging operation are controlled by a total of seven bagfilters.
The packaging system for filling bags is located inside a building. There is a central dust collection
system that captures dust that comes from bag filling and from several other points along the packaging
process.
The company has 45 employees(including drivers)and operates one 12-hour shift a day, 6:OOAM-6:30 PM, 7
days/week, 52 weeks/year.Half of the employees work 12-hours a day three days/week,the remaining
employees work 12-hour days four days/week. The following week the employees switch so the employees
who worked three days/week work four days/week.

VI. Inspection Summary:
Mr. Bean led me on a tour of the facility,which was operating, starting at the dryer and proceeding to the
silos. I did not observe any indications of excess emissions. The duct work all appeared to be in good
working order with no leaks or compromises. The facility was very clean. Due to the large increase in
production currently,the facility has finished product stacked on pallets around the yard. Travel ways at the

facility appeared to be in good shape and there was no indication of trucks tracking material onto the highway
as they are leaving the facility.
