III. FACILITY/PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Hildreth Ready Mix,LLC is a small truck mix, concrete batch plant. Cement is stored in silos and
mixed with aggregate and sand(both stockpiled on site),all of which is mixed with water inside a
cement truck.The loadout and silos are controlled by a central dust collector. A second bagfilter,which
was previously used as a dedicated control for one of the silos is still in place,but is no longer operating.
To produce the septic tanks,cement is poured into 1,000-gallon, 1,200-gallon,or 1,500-gallon molds
and allowed to cure for 28-30 days.The molds are removed and septic tanks are delivered and installed
on site. Although septic tanks are still produced on site,most of Mr. Hildreth's business now is
delivering concrete from his batch plant,which is operated on an"as needed"basis.
