California Integrated Waste Management Board Linda Moulton-Patterson, Chair ••;;;; 1001 I Street• Sacramento,California 95814* (916)341-6000 Mailing Address: P. O. Box 4025, Sacramento, CA 95812-4025 www.ciwmb.ca.gov Gray Davis Governor Winston H.Hickox Secretaryfor Environmental Protection July 22, 2003 To: Whom it may concern Re: FULLY ENCLOSED MOVABLE CONTAINER EXCLUSION Recent changes in Title 14, California Code of Regulations (CCR), removed the fully enclosed movable container exclusion, 14 CCR 18420(a)(5), from the waste tire regulations. A new term called"collection"has been added to the regulations and is defined in 14 CCR, 17225.717 (included on page 2 of this letter). Tires are considered to be in the "collection"process, as opposed to "storage,"when they are temporarily (less than 90 days)placed in fully enclosed, licensed road transportable containers. When tires are not being loaded or unloaded, operators are to keep the containers closed and locked or provide a sufficient access control such as perimeter fencing. All tires transported to and from a collection facility are to be properly manifested. A collection operation is not required to obtain a waste tire facility permit. Operators storing waste or used tires in cargo boxes, seatrains, drop-off boxes or any other types of fully enclosed movable containers do not meet the collection definition unless those containers are stored on a licensed road transportable trailer. If you were operating under the fully enclosed movable container exclusion, contact the California Integrated Waste Management Board(Board) in writing by August 25, 2003. Briefly describe your methods of operation, container type, the maximum amount of tires you store, if you believe your operation meets the definition of collection, and what action you plan to take to secure authorization for tire storage at your facility. The information you provide will help us determine if you need a permit or meet the definition of collection. We encourage you to contact Board staff to help you figure out which type of authorization best fits your operation. We want to work with you to obtain the necessary approvals. For more information, please contact Terry Smith at(916) 341-6427 or e-mail rnai1to:tsmith@ciwmb.ca.gov. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
