of SJCEHD With this in mind, Mr. Kith offered a meeting forr-nat that would first address Tuff Boy's goals and then address the questions and comments dptaiied in the October 01, 2010 letter. Discussion of Tuff Boy Goals: a. The initial exchange between SJCEHD and Tuff Boy focused on the SJCEHD decision to assign a tire dealer status to the Tuff Boy waste tire handling permit. b. Tuff Boy voiced concerns that a tire dealer designaticn was not requested by Tuff Boy. In addition Tuff Boy expressed concerns that SJCEHD's decision to designate Tuff Boy as a tire dealer could trigger other .ase permits. Furthermore, Tuff Boy offered concerns that a SJCEHD inspector could later challenge the tire- --lealership designation at a future date. c. Tuff Boy explained that Tire Sales were not Puff Boy's primary business. Tuff Boy further explained that the majority of tires on the property (95%) belonged to one customer. It was explained that Tuff Boy simply managed the tire inventory as a function of the repair services provided to the customer. d. SJCEHD acknowledged a, b and c above. SJCEHD also indicated that the designation as a tire dealer was one of a number of categories Tutt Boy could be assigned. SJCEHD further explained that the categorical designation as a used tire dealer was in addition to a designation as (1) a new tire dealer, (2) a t!ucking fleet (3) a tire hauler. e. SJCEHD indicated the used tire dealer designation afforded different storage and disposal rules to Tuff Boy: Specifically. (1) the ability store up to 1500 waste tires, (2) the ability to store air unlimited number of used, resalable tires within Cal Recycle storage guidelines found in Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. f. SJCEHD further stated that even the selling of one tire would qualify Tuff Boy to add the classification of itself as a tire dealer g. Tuff Boy asked if one waste tire facility permit would extend to any customers to whom Tuff Boy provided tire storage and repair services. h. SJCEHD stated that one facility permit would extend to any customers to whom Tuff Boy extended tire storage and repair services. i. Tuff Boy asked for a specific designation of the Cal Recycle storage guidelines: Specifically. Tuff Boy requested that SJCEHD advise whether (2-ea.) prior storage diagrams (provided by Tuff Boy) demonstrating 2-ea. different methods of storing used maintenance ready tires would meet SJCEHD guidelines. j. Tuff Boy again presented drawings of the tire storage configurations previously provided to SJCEHD in Tuff Boy's letter of August 11, 2010. Drawings submitted were marked drawing #1 and drawing #2 respectively. k. An explanation of Tuff Boy's operating procedures were provided to Mr. Kith in order to provide further understanding of the operating efficiency, security and operating safety that the 2-ea. proposed storage methods provide to Tuff Boy. I. SJCEHD acknowledged the outdoor storage system shown in drawing #1 was adequate and met the guidelines, provided the tires could be viewed and inspected from any one side. m. Drawing #2 described a typical roadable highway van that would serve as a maintenance ready tire storage unit designated for the storage of used tires ready for sale or use. The van would be on wheels and have a portable ramp that could be moved to the rear entrance, the van would have a translucent root allowing day light to light the interior SJCEHD was informed that Tuff Boy is a daylight-only operation. n. SJCEHD indicated that the van storage "sounded" like it would work. However the test would be for SJCEHD to actually walk into the proposed storage unit before approving the application to ensure that lighting and inspection access are sufficient. 2
