LEA Advisory 20 Attachment- Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 43 of 52 contacted during the pre-inspection workup. A facility is in violation of this standard if: 1. any of the tire stockpiles exceed any one of the maximum dimensions for a pile allowed under this regulation or under an alternative standard approved by the local fire authority and concurred with by the Board. 2. the facility stores tires over brush or within 40 feet of any flammable material or there is flammable material in the fire lanes. 3. the operator did not notify the board of changes in storage and handling practices mandated by the local fire authority. 4. erosion channels are observed to be conducting storm water toward a tire stockpile, or ponding is observed around a stockpile. If evidence of prior ponding or stormwater channeling toward a stockpile is observed but no ponding or channeling is occurring at the time of the inspection, then an area of concern should be noted. 5. if the local fire authority has notified the operator in writing that the location of the facility impairs fire fighting efforts. 6. if waste tires in a stockpile are observed to have the rims still intact. 7. if evidence of past pyrolytic runoff(staining of the ground from the WTF to a discharge point into a body of water) is observed during the inspection and there is no containment system. 17355 Storage and Disposal of Waste Tires at Solid Waste Facilities (a) After January 1, 1993, waste tires may not be landfilled in a solid waste disposal facility which is permitted pursuant to Chapter 3 of Part 4 of the Public Resources Code, commencing with section 44001, unless they are permanently reduced in volume prior to disposal by shredding, or other methods subject to EA approval and Board approval. (b) The requirement of subsection (a) shall not apply to: (1) waste tires received which are commingled with municipal solid waste that arrive in loads, where the waste tires comprise less than one-half of one (0.5)percent by weight of the total load, or where the waste tires inadvertently arrive in homeowner delivered household loads of mixed waste and are not readily removable from the waste stream; or (2) oversized waste tires, 17.5 x 24 or larger in size, received prior to January 1, 1994. (c) With the exception of waste tires that are stored in accordance with section 17356(b), all waste tires stored at a solid waste facility shall meet the requirements of this Article. This standard applies to monthly EA inspections or during State inspections of MSWLFs that store tires. Look for any stockpiles of 500 or more waste tires at the solid waste facility. (Note: Do not count waste tires that are stored in enclosed structures or trailers if the operator is complying with section 17356 - Indoor Storage). If the operator is storing 500 or more waste tires, then the stockpiles should be stored in accordance with the requirements previously discussed. Note whether the number of waste tires arriving in loads of MSW for landfilling exceed 0.5 percent by weight of the total load. An example would be two waste tires weighing 25 pounds each arriving http://www.clwmb.ca.gov/pe/advisory/20/attach2O/20attch 1.htm 8/11/98
