suspected that the illegally dumped tires came from this facility since the facility had violation for storing more than 500 waste tires without permit and now those tire disappeared and there was not documentation of what happened to those tires. At the suggestion of illegal waste tire disposal, Jerold Brannon asked Michael Kith if that was what Michael Kith thought Fleet/Brannon Tire was doing with tires. Mr. Brannon continued to say that Fleet/Brannon Tire spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for tire disposal every year and that manifests and invoices could prove it. Mr. Brannon asked Jenni Frase and Michael Kith something to the effect of, "Are you accusing me of illegally dumping my tires?"Michael Kith explained again that the CTL receipts are proof that tires are being handled properly. Michael Kith informed Mr. Brannon that the tires counted at the Flea Market on May 15, 2007 needed to be explained, "Where did they come from and where did they go?"Mr. Brannon again asked"What do we need to do? What do you want from me?" Jenni Frase then explained to Mr. Brannon and Fred Smith that at the time of the May 15, 2007 inspection, the Flea Market site was found to have over 500 tires which initiated a violation at that time. At the May 15, 2007 inspection and the June 18, 2007 re-inspection there were no manifests from the time period of January 2007 to May 2007 to explain how those tires had arrived there. At the exit interview of the June 18, 2007 re-inspection, the department had requested that the facility, Fleet/Brannon Tire, submit an affidavit to explain how the Flea Market site had come to have over 500 tires and to explain how the tires were being managed between the two sites. Jaime Alvarez then arrived and came into the office. Jenni Frase referred to the inspection report and Attachments A and B in front of Mr. Brannon. "These were the documents that you and your staff submitted to me after the re- inspection on June 18, 2007,"Jenni Frase explained. Attachment A was a worksheet in table form, submitted by Jaime Alvarez and Fred Smith by fax on June 19, 2007, that addressed seven trailers that were noted on the May 15, 2007 inspection report to contain used and waste tires. Attachment B was a letter signed by Jerold Brannon to "clarify the procedures that we at Brannon Tire used from January 2007 through May 2007."Jenni Frase addressed Attachment A first. The worksheet did not explain how the Flea Market site had come to have over 500 tires at the time of the May 15, 2007 inspection, which was the information sought, Jenni Frase explained. In addition to not providing the information , the document initiated another violation because it noted that CTLs had been falsified to satisfy the number of tires transported. Attachment B was then addressed by Jenni Frase. The letter signed by Jerold Brannon addressed, in a general manner, tire management between 3730 N. Wilson Way and 3550 N. Wilson Way, but the letter did not specifically explain how the Flea Market site had come to have over 500 tires at the time of the May 15, 2007 inspection. The documents did not satisfy the Department's request. During the discussion, the fourth inspection report was handed to Mr. Brannon. It cited manifesting violations regarding the adjacent site at the Flea market. Mr. Brannon asked Jenni Frase and Michael Kith what needed to be done to remedy the situation. Mr.
