Second re-inspection of the Brannon tire yards took place on June 21, 2006 at l lam. Prior inspections were on 4/17/06 and 5/17/06. There was a brief meeting with Jerry Brannon in his office and he granted permission for the inspection to take place in the presence of his manager, Jaime Alvarez. Present at the inspection were myself(Jenni Ruiz), Michael Kith, and Jaime Alvarez. Inspection started at Yard 2: the Brannon Tire facility at 3730 N Wilson. We began at the Northwest corner of the property. Along the north fence to the west of storm retention ponds were storage containers. Behind these containers were 50 waste tires being held as factory adjustments. The storm retention ponds were cleared of tires and mosquito fish were visible. Vegetation had been cut down. The northeast corner of the yard had a pile of 50 passenger tires, reduced from the 600 that were observed on 5/17/06. 150 giant tires (OTR) were horizontally barrel-stacked in three rows, in a contiguous manner so that inspection of each tire was not possible. These tires were counted as waste tires. Jaime said that these tires were being sold or disposed of and would be removed by a crane or forklift. I reminded him to observe the ten-foot clearance off the property line and asked about the vegetation maintenance. Jaime said that they sprayed weed-killer and cut the weeds down. The east fence line that was impassible due to scattered tires between rows of giant tires was cleared of obstruction but was otherwise unchanged from the 5/17/06 inspection. 200 giant tires were counted, vertically stacked to ten feet in height and horizontally barrel- stacked in a contiguous manner so that inspection of each tire was not possible. To the north of the truck dock a laced stack of passenger tires three deep still remained at a count of 260 tires. The roll-off garbage bin had been moved to the opposite side of the driveway and was empty. The truck dock held a trailer from Tri-C for tire disposal. The southeast corner of the yard had 300 barrel-stacked truck tires that were in contiguous rows and not possible to inspect between rows. This corner of the yard was clear of debris, vegetation, and vector issues from past inspection. The south fence had piles of truck tires that were barrel-stacked that were not possible to inspect, one pile counted at 100 tires and another at 140. 110 small RSC tires were stacked and on pallets. A few stacks of old and rotted pallets were along south fence. Fire prevention was discussed. Jaime said the pallets were being removed to a pallet recycler. To the west along the south fence, scattered piles of tires were counted at 60 tires. Another 30 tires were on the ground outside of a second scrap tire trailer from Tri-C that was at the southwest driveway entrance. The total of waste tires counted at the Brannon Tire facility was 1450. The inspection continued to Yard 1: the Open Air Flea Market site at 3550 N Wilson. Ten tires were observed in the back of an inoperable truck, but no other tires were L �j
