Box 2009 FERMIT/SERVICES <br /> Stockton, CA 95201 <br /> Attn: Mr. James Miller, R.S. <br /> Dear Mr. Hall : <br /> In reference to recent telephone discussions between Jim Miller <br /> of District staff and Jesse Adams of Board staff regarding the <br /> Royster Tire shredding operation in the County the following <br /> information is provided : <br /> _. Since Royster imports "source separated" material (tires) for <br /> shredding as fuel and not intended for disposal , his operation, <br /> as defined by Government Code Section 66723, is not considered a <br /> . "transfer/processing station" or "station" . <br /> The operation, therefore, does not fall under the definition of a <br /> "solid waste facility" as defined by Government Code section <br /> 66720.1 and, as noted in Section 18215, Title 14, of the <br /> California Administrative Code, need not apply for either an <br /> exemption or a solid waste facilities permit. <br /> Since the facility is not required to apply for a solid waste <br /> permit, any control over its functions would be conditioned by <br /> local authority through zoning codes and appropriate use permits. <br /> This type of operation is commendable, in that it recovers a fuel <br /> resource from spent tires and the shredding process ensures a <br /> reduction in volume and vector harborage. It is recommended, <br /> however, that appropriate and reasonable limits be placed on the <br /> volume or number of tires accumulated on the property and that <br /> some accountability be assigned for site clean-up in the event <br /> the project ceases operation. Due to fluctuations in markets for <br /> this type of fuel you may also wish to consider appropriate <br /> requirements for accumulation and/or export of the processed <br /> fuel . <br /> If you have any additional questions please contact Jess Adams at <br /> (916) 322-0457 . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kerry Joness,v Chief <br /> Enforcement Division <br />
