Directions:
From MRO, travel I-77 north to 1-40 west toward Conover. Take Exit 132 and turn right off ramp. Take
the next right at light onto Hwy 16 N towards Taylorsville. After approximately 12 miles,the facility can
be seen on the left just prior to Millersville School.
Safety Equipment:
This company requires that safety glasses be worn by the inspector at the facility.
Safety Issues:
No safety issues were noted during the inspection.
Lat/Lons:
The coordinates were last checked in July of 2017 and were accurate. However,the site is currently down.
The coordinates in IBEAM are accurate.
Email Contacts:
The emails for the Facility,Authorized, and Technical contacts were verified by Mr.Ken Parker,Plant Manager.
Changes were updated in IBEAM.
General information:
The purpose of this site visit was to conduct a compliance assurance visit. The facility was issued
exemption on November 17, 2016. This facility manufactures wooden components used in furniture,
shelving and packaging and is currently operating the routers two 10-hour shifts,four days a week, and the
rest of the sawing and chipping is operating one 10-hour shift, four days a week. Mr. Ken Parker, Plant
Manager, and Mr.Danny Johnson,Maintenance Manager, accompanied me during this inspection.
Source Observations:
The facility has three bagfilters to control particulate emissions from routers,band saws,rip saws, and two
chipping machines. The wood dust from the sawing operations and one of the chippers vents into one semi-
truck via a closed-looped cyclone that is emptied about once per week.The second chipping operation drops
larger wood chips into a separate dumpster and is not considered a PM10 source. 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. Parker stated that no excess emissions had
occurred at this facility.
Exemption Qualifications:
This office received a letter from Precision Materials,LLC on October 24, 2016 requesting recission of
Permit No. 06323R07. The facility has two wood dust collection systems-one for all three bagfilters
combined plus one chipper, and one for another wood chipping operation. According to the permit
recission review,the volume of the trailer is 3,456 ft3 and each trailer is at most 80% full after settling.
Assuming that wood dust weighs 11.97 lbs/ft3 and that the facility operates fifty weeks per year,the
facility,determined that 827 tons of wood dust was the maximum produced by each system per year. One
trailer per week of dust produced in each system have actual emissions of 0.05 tons per year of PM10 andJ
the chipping operation has 0.00 tons per year PM10(since chipping produces emissions of larger sized
particle). Mr.Parker stated during the inspection that the facility is currently filling two trailers of wood
dust per week, and one trailer of wood chips per week. Since the wood chips are not considered a PM10
source,the total PM10 emissions are 0.10 tons per year. Therefore,the facility still qualifies for
exemption.
NSPS/NESHAP Review:
There are no generators or diesel-fired fire,pumps at the facility, therefore the facility,is not subject to
NESHAP Subpart 4Z. There are no boilers at the facility,therefore the facility is not subject to NESHAP
Subpart 6J. There are no gasoline storage tanks at the facility, therefore the facility is not subject to
NESHAP Subpart 6C.
Compliance determination:
Based on my observations, this facility appeared to be in compliance with the air quality rules (213 .0521-
visible emissions; and 2D .0535-excess emissions) at the time of inspection. The compliance assurance
visit checklist is listed on page 4.
