II. SAFETY
Standard DAQ safety equipment required. While driving into facility, watch for trucks
entering and exiting; during inspection, be alert for trucks/railcars in receiving and load out
areas.
III. FACILITY/PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The facility blends mineral supplements with various feedstocks including rendered animal
proteins,feather meal, and other ingredients to produce feed for poultry-rearing operations.
This facility has a NESHAP Subpart 7D "Area Source Standards for Prepared Feeds
Manufacturing" stipulation in their permit, even though the mineral additives used do not
contain the compounds that trigger this stipulation (Manganese and Chromium)._As a result,
the facility has not been subject to NESHAP 7D. However, the facility had asked to keep the
7D stipulation in their Air Permit to remain consistent with other Perdue AgriBusiness
facilities. During our inspection Ms. Green stated the facility wished to have the NESHAP
Subpart 7D stipulation removed from their permit.
There is still a hammermill on-site, but it is non-operational and all associated ductwork and
control devices have been removed.

emission sources controlled by fabric filters different than what is in permit 07495R09. The
facility will submit a permit modification to have the Permitted Emission Sources table
amended in their current air permit, 07495R09.
