1. General Information:
The purpose of this site visit was to conduct a routine air quality inspection. This facility recycles
consumer electronics. The inspector will be required to sign in at the front desk; the front desk is
not manned which may require the inspector to use a cell phone to call the facility contact to inform
them of their arrival. The front desk area is also monitored via closed circuit camera by Ms.
Mitchell who should eventually notice the inspector's arrival.
I arrived at the facility on Wednesday, December 6, 2018 at approximately 1:25 PM. Mr. Dan
Frisbee,Plant Manager,met with me briefly. Ms.Michele Mitchell accompanied me on the facility
inspection and during the records review. The facility currently employs less than 20 people and

Description System ID Description
ES 20 wire recycling line 2 (2 tons per hour CD-02 Fbagffilft6er(3,420 square
maximum process rate) filter area)
After the raw material is properly sized, it is then sent to the wire recycling line (ES-02)
where the material is separated, collected and packaged. Particulate emissions from line
#2 (ES-02) are vented to bagfilter(CD-02)which is located outside.
Observed. Wire recycling line ES-02, along with associated bagfilter CD-02, was not
operating at the time of inspection; this entire line is not operational and the bagfilter has
been disconnected. The facility has plans to remove this line from the facility and relocate
it to their plant in New Hampshire. At this time it appears they prefer to leave the current
permit as is and not request a permit modification to remove this line.
