Hanson Brick - Gulf Mine No. 3.
Facility ID: 1900075, Gulf,Chatham County
Permit No. 069271106 MINING PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Brown:
The Division of Air Quality has reviewed your letter received December 29, 2014 requesting
rescission of Permit No. 069271106.
Based on this information,the facility does qualify for exemption from permitting under rule 15A
NCAC 2Q .0102(c)(2)(E)(ii) since actual emission of all regulated air pollutants are less than five
tons per year, each.
Therefore,in accordance with your request,Air Quality Permit No. 06927R06 is hereby rescinded,
effective the date of this letter. It should be noted that this exemption from permitting does not
exempt Hanson Brick-Gulf Mine No. 3. from complying with the applicable emission control
standards.
Furthermore, should you decide to modify the processes such that the result is an increase of
emissions of air pollutants, including toxic air pollutants, an Air Quality Permit may be

required and Hanson Brick-Gulf Mine No.3.should submit a permit application to this Office prior
to such actions.
It should be noted that future regulations including Federal Maximum Achievable Control
Technology(MACT)for hazardous air pollutants(HAP)may be promulgated and adopted by the
Division which apply to this type of manufacturing facility. If so Hanson Brick-Gulf Mine No.3.
may be required to apply for an Air Quality Permit at that date.
This exemption from the permitting requirement is based upon your statement that this facility has
been and will be operated under the threshold levels as outlined in the Regulation. Please be advised
that the operation of any air pollution emission sources which results in increased emissions in excess
of the threshold levels specified in 15A NCAC 2Q.0 I 02(b)(2)without an Air Quality Permit is a
violation of 15A NCAC 2Q.0101, "Required Air Quality Permits." If this facility is required to obtain
an Air Quality permit in the future because of increased emissions, each day of operation of the
emission sources without an Air Quality Permit represents a separate violation. Such violations may
be subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.114A.
If you have any questions with reference to the above matter,please do not hesitate to contact
Charles McEachern at 919-791-4200.
Sincerely,
U
