LEA Advisory 20 Attachment- Inspection Guidance for SW Landfills Page 44 of 52 in a transfer truck with a 10,000 pound payload. During the inspection, note any instance of whole tires not co-mingled with other wastes being dumped at the working face and then buried with the rest of the wastes at the end of the operating day. If the site routinely accepts waste tires for stockpiling at the facility, then evaluate the pile(s) for compliance with the storage standards of section 17354. If tires are altered prior to landfilling, make sure the means of altering them is approved by the Board and the enforcement agency. As of November 1993, the methods approved by the Board include shredding, quartering or slicing into four or more parts across the bead, bagel splitting, baling, and manually cutting out the sidewalls including the bead to produce three or more parts. The SWFP should reflect current waste tire operations at the site. Document any discrepancies between the permit and what is actually being done with respect to waste tires at the facility. 17356 Indoor Storage (a) Waste tires stored indoors must be stored under conditions that meet or exceed those in "The Standard for Storage of Rubber Tires', National Fire Protection Association, NFPA D-1989 edition,published by the National Fire Protection Association which is incorporated by reference. This requirement shall apply unless the local fire authority having jurisdiction over a particular facility determines that a different requirement is necessary or adequate to meet the intent of these regulations for fire control and the protection of life and property. Any change in, or any new local fire authority requirements that affect the requirements in this Article shall be reported to the Board by the operator within 30 days after their effective date. (b) The storage requirements in this Article shall not apply to waste tires stored in fully enclosed movable containers as long as the following conditions are met: (1) Containers shall be kept closed except while loading and unloading. (2) Containers shall be kept locked when not being loaded or unloaded unless the operator complies with section 17352 of this Article. Indoor storage should include walls as well as a roof for housing the waste tires. The regulations require that the building either meet the standards set in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 231D or meet other requirements established by the local fire authority. The inspector should contact the local fire authority concerning compliance with NFPA 231D or the local fire authority requirements. Compliance with NFPA should be determined by the local fire authority because of the complexity of the sprinkler specifications, etc. If the tires are stored in fully enclosed movable containers, all containers shall be closed and locked when not being loaded or unloaded. Other (State Regulations to Implement Subtitle D) All "municipal solid waste landfill units" (MSWLF units) that receive waste on or after October 9, 1993 must comply with the following requirements unless otherwise specified. MSWLF unit is defined in 14 CCR § 17258.2(g). MSWLF unit includes facilities that accept any wastes defined as "household waste" in 14 CCR § 17258.2(c). Landfills which receive only agricultural processing, restaurant, and industrial wastes are currently exempt from these requirements. http://www.clwmb.ca.gov/pe/advisory/20/attach2O/20attch l.hhn 8/11/98
