Permitting and Enforcement Committee January 15,1998 AGENDAITEM I. SUMMARY Assembly Bill 1843 (Brown, Statutes of 1989) established the waste tire program and required the Board to adopt emergency and final regulations for permitting of waste tire facilities. On June 26, 1991 the Board adopted the emergency regulations, and the final regulations on August 25, 1993. In 1997, based on comments by industry and staff, the Committee instructed staff to reopen the regulations for revision, and the staff has begun that process. The anticipated effective date for the revised regulations is expected to be late in the calendar year 1998 or early 1999. There are two types of exclusions from permitting and storage requirements for waste tires, 1) statutory and 2) regulatory. Four situations are specifically excluded by statute from the waste tire permitting requirements. Those situations are: • Fewer than 500 Tires — A location where fewer than 500 tires are stored is not considered a waste tire facility. Tire facility permit requirements and minimum standards for tire storage do not apply. This exclusion is mimicked in regulation. Tire Dealers and Automobile Dismantlers - Tire dealers and automobile dismantlers who store more than 500 tires are excluded from the definition of minor waste tire facility provided they comply with the Vehicle Code, store fewer than 1,500 tires and rotate out the stored tires every 90 days or sooner. Tire facility permit requirements and minimum standards for tire storage do not apply. This exclusion is mimicked in regulation. • Cement Kilns — Those storing not more than one -month's supply of waste tires and storing these tires in compliance with the regulations adopted by the Board permitting waste tire storage and disposal. • Solid Waste Facility Exclusion — A permit is not required if tires are stored at a solid waste disposal facility pursuant to the terms and conditions of a solid waste facilities 1-1
