Kick A Tire Facility No. 39-TI-0565 Page 2 of 3 access road shall be maintained passable for emergency equipment and vector control vehicles at all times. Unauthorized access to the waste tire storage area must be strictly controlled through the used of industrial fencing and gates, or other means of access control. 14 CCR 17354 Storage of Waste Tires At the time of this inspection, approximately 2,500 waste tires were being stored on the premises. The tires were stored in one contiguous pile within 10 feet of the perimeter fencing and waste tires were still affixed to the rims. The site was not constricted to protect bodies of water from runoff of pyrolytic oil which might result from a tire tire. Pursuant to this section: (A) Waste tires shall be restricted to individual waste tires storage units which do not exceed 5,000 square feet of contiguous area. Any pile shall not exceed 50,000 cubic feet in volume nor 10 feet in height. Waste tire storage units shall not exceed 6 feet in height when within 20 feet of any property line. Waste tires shall not be located within 10 feet of any property line. The minimum distance between waste tires and structures that are located either on-site or off-site shall be as specified in Table I of 14 CCR § 17354. (B) Waste tires shall be separated from vegetation and other potentially flammable material by no less than 40 feet. Accessible fire lanes with a minimum width as specified in the above referenced Table I shall be provided between tire units. Fire lanes shall be kept free of flammable or combustible material and vegetation. Access to fire lanes for emergency vehicles must be unobstructed at all times. Open flames, blow torches, or highly flammable materials, including but not limited to, tire inner tubes, are prohibited within 40 feet of any waste tire pile. All of the above storage requirements in section (A) and (B) shall apply to the storage of waste tires unless, for any particular requirement, the local fire authority having jurisdiction over a particular facility determines that a different requirement is necessary or adequate to meet the intent of this regulation for the prevention of fire and the protection of life and property. (C) Surface water drainage shall be directed around and away from the waste tire storage area. (D) Waste tires at an existing waste tire facility shall not be stored on surfaces with grades that will interfere with fire fighting equipment or personnel unless mitigation measures have been approved in writing by the local fire authority, or a fire safety engineer registered by the State of California. Measures established by a fire safety engineer shall be subject to approval by the local fire authority. (E) Tires must be removed from rims immediately upon arrival at the facility. (F) The site shall be designed and constructed to provide protection to bodies of water from runoff of pyrolytic oil resulting from a potential tire fire.
