Page 3 of 5
Emissions from the cement storage silo vent to a,bagfilter while it is being filled. The bagfilter:
is equipped witha positive pressure compressor on the charge.line of the cement storage silo
and pressure .relief line on the exhaust of the cement storage silo.. The compressor is used to
prevent a negative -pressure from being created on the silo while it is being loaded. The
negative pressure would create a vacuum and allow wet cement and water to enter the bagfilter
and damaging the bagfilter.
Observed: No tankers were loading into the cementstorage silo during the inspection.
b. Cement Weigh Hopper (40 tons maximum capacity)
The weighed material drops from the weigh batcher into a concrete truck. Cement, water and
aggregate are mixed in the truck to. make concrete.
Observed: One truck was, loaded. during the ins pection:.:The truck backs under the weigh
hopper: -Once in place, the ,loading, operator. start weighing:out the aggregate; water and cement .
per the customer specifications: Aggregate isloaded onto a conveyor. Cement and water are
weighed :in,the hopper. All the material is added to the truck formixing. No emissions were
visible during loading of the .onetruck. .
c. Truck Loadmg..Operation equipped with a water. sprinkler system consisting of twenty-two
(22.) spray nozzles, a minimum of 40 psi water pressure and a minimum water, flow rate of five
(5) gallons per ton of concrete.
Observed: Cement, water and aggregate are.mixed in the truck to make concrete. One track
was. being loaded during the inspection. Water is'sprayed from the sprinkler system while the
concrete is being located into.the.truck. ; Accor1.ding to the.facility; only water is used for the
sprinkler system and the water is drained.from the system when the temperature is below
freezing..
a 5. Observations of Insignificant Air Emission Sources and Control Devices Listed on the Current
Permit:
a: Propane -fired Hot Water Heater (2.0 million Btu per hour maximum heat input)
The propane -fired hot water heater. is used to warm water for the concrete mix in cold weather.
The -boilerplate: indicates that: the Copper. Brute; Model-CFL2071PM.heater's maximum heat
input is 2.07 million Btu per hour.
Observed: The hot water.heater was not in operation during this inspection.:.
6. Observations of Air Emission Sources and Control Devices -not Listed on the Current Permit:
a. ..Aggregate: Hopper and Associated.Conveyor
Sand and various grades of stone are conveyed to the aggregate weigh. batcher. Mr. Doc
McGee stated.the weigh batcher has.3: compartments, a compartment for small stone, one for
large. stone and one for sand. The. aggregate drops -from the weigh.batcher onto a conveyor and
into a concrete truck. The truck mixes the material.

Page 4 of 5
Observed: One truck.was loaded during the inspection: Minimal visible emissions were
observed coming from the conveyor during the loading process.
b. Truck Wash -off
After trucks are loaded with concrete they move to a parking area and wash off any cement and
aggregate on the truck. Two (2) detergents are mixed with the water to aid in removing the
cement. Each detergent is stored in a 100 gallon container and is located in a small brick
building.
C. Sulfuric Acid Storage Area
The facility. stores less than'two (2).55 gallon drums of sulfuric acid m a storage' building.
Ms.Penny: Karagounis stated the facility never keeps two (2) full drains on the. premises. Once
the facility has. %'of a drum remaining then, a new/full sulfuric acid tank. is delivered to.the
premises. The sulfuric acid is used to 'maintain the proper pH balance in their water runoff.
The facility maintains two (2) retention ponds which af6 used. to' capture water from the
sprinkler system on the truck loading operation. As the water flows from the upper pond to the
lower pond it is mixed with sulfuric acid to neutralhte/balance the pH of the water before it is
discharged from the- retention ponds:
7. Compliance with Specific Permit Conditions and Limitations:
