Baker, County Administrator <br /> From: Karen Furst, M.D., M.P.H., Health Officer <br /> Subject: Tracy Tire Fire <br /> This is to update you on the status of the tire fire at the Silas Royster property <br /> in Tracy. The California Integrated Waste Management Board has informed us <br /> that a contractor has been hired to extinguish the small areas of tires that are <br /> still burning. The preparation of the site is expect to begin this week on <br /> Thursday, November 30. The actual fire suppression activities are expected to <br /> start next Tuesday, December 5. In October 2000 the Integrated Waste <br /> Management Board approved $364,925 for this effort. <br /> In early 2001, after the fire is extinguished, the U.S. Environmental Protection <br /> Agency will start work on site characterization to evaluate the residual <br /> contamination on the property. After this analysis is complete, a remediation <br /> plan will be developed. <br /> Attached please find a copy of a fact sheet from the Waste Board with further <br /> information. If you have any questions please call me at 468-3411 or Donna <br /> Heran, Director of Environmental Health at 468-3429. <br /> CC. Michael N.
