COVID-19 Information:
I talked with Mr. Kevin Mann, Senior VP of Operations, by phone prior to the on-site inspection who
informed me that the facility requires employees and visitors to have a temperature check and fill out a
questionnaire regarding COVID symptoms prior to entering the facility. A mask is required to be worn by
employees and visitors at all times, unless they are working alone in an office or eating. The morning of
the compliance assurance visit, I filled out the NC Employee Screening for Employees Reporting Onsite
form on the oshr.nc.gov website that states I don't have, or have been in contact with anyone that has
COVID-19 symptoms. I decided to stay in my car to determine compliance while talking with Mr. Mann
by phone while viewing the bagfilter.
Lat/Lon,q:
A review of the "Facilities Regulated by Air Quality" on the DAQ web site indicates the facility's latitude and
longitude coordinates are accurate. No changes to the latitude and longitude coordinates of this facility are
needed in IBEAM. The latitude and longitude coordinates of this facility are not locked in IBEAM.

General Information:
The purpose of this site visit was to conduct a compliance inspection evaluation while maintaining social
distancing of six feet or more and wearing a mask,due to the corona virus. The facility was issued a permit
exemption on September 13, 2016. This facility assembles and upholsters furniture and is currently
operating two eight-hour shifts,five days a week. The facility employs 150-160 people. Mr.Kevin Mann,
Senior VP of Operations, spoke with me by phone during this inspection.
Source Observations:
The facility has one bagfilter to control particulate from the two routers and three sawing stations. The
wood dust is emptied into a semi-truck, which is emptied about twice per week. These sources were
observed in operation with no visible emissions and no fugitive dust. This office has not received any
fugitive dust emissions complaints regarding this facility. Mr. Mann stated that no excess emissions had
occurred at this facility.
Exemption Oualifcations:
This office received a letter from Craftmaster Furniture, Inc. Plant 4 on September 6, 2016 requesting
determination for their existing operation, which was expanded to include a woodworking operation
supporting an upholstery factory. The woodworking operation is proposed to process up to 3,025,000 bd-
ft/yr.At this rate the potential controlled particulate emissions are 1.50 tons per year for PM10. During the
inspection, Mr. Mann provided board feet purchased in 2019 and 2020. The facility purchased 2,008,818
board feet of plywood and 929,344 board feet of lumber in 2019, and 2,851,662 board feet of plywood and
1,010,759 board feet of lumber in 2020. This puts their estimated yearly production at 2,938,162 in 2019
and 3,862,421 bd-ft/yr. Therefore,the facility still qualifies for exemption.
Compliance determination:
Based on my observations,this facility appeared to be in compliance with the air quality rules (2D .0521-
visible emissions;and 2D.0535-excess emissions)at the time of inspection.The compliance assurance visit
checklist is listed on page 4.
