1) Directions:
From FRO take Green Street to Gillespie and merge onto 195 BUS/301 S towards Parkton,turn right onto NC
HWY 71 and continue to follow NC HWY 71 for 28 miles until HWY 74. Follow HWY 74 W for 68 miles to
Wadesboro. From Wadesboro,take HWY 74 west for 13.5 miles. Pulpwood Yard Road will be on the right
and runs into the Edwards Wood facility. You will need to call the facility contact at the Marshville office
(phone number above)and have the Facility Contact,Mr.York meet you there. The Marshville office is only a
few minutes away from the Peachland facility.
2) Safety Considerations: Standard DAQ safety equipment. Watch for lumber trucks on facility roads and
forklifts in kiln and warehouse areas.
3) Facility and Process Description
Edwards Wood Products, Inc. is a hardwood sawmill and lumber drying kiln facility. The facility produces
rough-cut green and kiln-dried hardwood lumber.No finished lumber is produced at this facility. Green
hardwood logs are brought to the facility by truck,the logs are debarked, and then sawn into green dimension
lumber. Some of the green lumber is dried in eight(8) steam-heated lumber drying kilns. Steam is provided by
a small wet wood-fired boiler using self-generated sawdust from the sawmill at this facility.

5) Inspection Conference:
On 30 March 20211, Mike Thomas of FRO DAQ conducted a compliance inspection of The Edwards Wood
Products,Inc. -Peachland Plant. I met with the Facility Contact,Travis York and new Authorized Contact
Chris Harrington. We discussed the following:
a) I verified the FACFINDER information: Mr. Harrington needs to be added as Authorized Contact and
Technical Contact.
b) I reviewed the facility's logbook that contains the total amount of wood burned in the wood-fired boiler.
Records indicate the facility combusted 5,817.7 tons of wood during 2020.
c) Mr.Harrington stated that there were no plans to make any changes or additions to the way the facility
currently operates.
d) Throughputs:
Year 12 Month Consecutive Tons Combusted
2020 5,817.7
2019 4,554.9
2018 6,878.6
2017 6,485.8
2016 7,459.3

6) Inspection Summary:
Mr. York and Mr. Harrington led me on a tour of the facility which was operating, starting at the boiler
building. The boiler is continuously fed by a conveyor system that in turn is fed by a hopper. The hopper is
filled periodically from a stockpile of wood material stored just outside of the building. I observed 0%V.E.
from the boiler.
I then observed the kilns, all of which were in operation. I observed 0%V.E. from each of the kilns.
7) Permit Stipulations:
a) A.2 2D .0202 PERMIT RENEWAL AND EMISSION INVENTORY REQUIREMENT—Entire
facility subject. Submit permit renewal application and EI at least 90 days prior to permit expiration.

from wood is 0.347 lbs/mmBTU,which is below the maximum allowable.
c) A.4 2D .0515 PARTICULATE CONTROL REQUIREMENT—"Particulates from Miscellaneous
Industrial Processes"—Particulate matter emissions shall not exceed allowable emissions rates.
Appeared to be in compliance—Compliance was determined during the most recent permit review based

SO2 for wood combustion is 0.025 lbs/mmBtu. As long as the facility only combusts wood,compliance is
expected.
e) A.6 2D .0521 VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT—Visible emissions from the
emission sources shall not be more than 20%in opacity.
