In Compliance. Aggregate piles appeared to be wet. The water mist applied to the crushing operation was
visible. No visible emissions were observed.
A.S. This primary crusher is a jaw crusher rated at 485 tons per hour at an 8 inch closed side crusher setting per the
manufacturer's specifications as submitted. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2D .0510, any change from this crusher
definition, other than like -for -like, will require a permit application to be submitted. The purpose of this stipulation
is to characterize the primary crusher and not limit production.
In Compliance. The capacity of 485 tons per hour still applies for this facility, per the requirements of the
permit condition.
A.6. VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT - As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0521 "Control of Visible
Emissions," visible emissions from the emission sources, manufactured after July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20
percent opacity when averaged over a six -minute period, except that six -minute periods averaging not more than 87
percent opacity may occur not more than once in any hour nor more than four times in any 24-hour period.
However, sources which must comply with 15A NCAC 2D .0524 "New Source Performance Standards" or .1110
"National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants" must comply with applicable visible emissions
requirements contained therein.
In Compliance. Facility was in operation during the inspection, and no visible emissions were present.
A.7. 15A NCAC 2D .0524 "NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS" - For the nonmetallic mineral processing
equipment (wet material processing operations, as defined in 60.671, are not subject to this Subpart), the Permittee
