1) Directions:
Quikrete Company-Peachland is located at 13471 Hwy 74 West,right on the Anson/Union County Line, in
Peachland,NC,Anson County. From Wadesboro,take HWY 74 west for 13.5 miles. The Quikrete facility
will be on the left before the Union County line.
2) Safety Considerations:
Standard DAQ safety equipment. Be alert to trucks entering and exiting property.
3) Facility and Process Description:
The Quikrete Company-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. 06907R09,
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, 6:00AM-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.

5) Inspection Conference:
On 4 September 2020,I,Mike Turner of the Fayetteville Regional Office of DAQ, met with Dave
Snyder,current Plant Manager,and Leroy Bean,who will be Plant Manager when Mr. Snyder becomes
the Maintenance Manager, at The Quikrete-Peachland Plant. We discussed the following:
a) I verified the FACFINDER information. Mr. Snyder stated the Authorized Contact Data,
Facility Contact Data,and the Invoice Contact Data need to be changed from him to Leroy
Bean. These changed were made in IBEAM on 9 September 2020.
b) I reviewed the facility's bagfilter logbooks. Entries are arranged by process and appeared to be
complete and up to date.
c) Mr. Snyder stated that production has been very steady and similar to the previous year.

6) Inspection Summary:
Mr. Snyder and Mr.Bean led me on a tour of the facility,which was operating. I got a tour of the facility's
operations,observing each emission source and control device along the way. 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 travel ways were clean and gave no indication as to causing any fugitive emissions as they
have in the past.This facility's silos are close to US 74,as close as 200', but Mr. Snyder stated they have had
no dust complaints, and our office has not received any complaints. Mr. Snyder stated this facility will soon
pave roadways and the sand bag holding area to control dust issues.
Mr. Snyder stated this facility will soon be changing the bin vent shaker on CD-9,with a filter area of
125sq.ft,to an air operated bag filter baghouse,with a filter area of 250sq.ft,and inquired if this alteration will
require a permit modification.After consulting with RAQS Heather Carter, and Permit Engineer,Jeff Cole,
on 8 September,I informed Mr. Snyder this alteration will likely not require a permit modification, and I
directed him to NC DEQ's Air Quality Permits page and the 15A NCAC 02Q .0318 form along with the
instructions for filling out the 02Q.0318 form.
