Waste tires are also being stored within 40 feet of used tires. a.)Tire storage piles containing less than 500 waste tires shall be located no closer than 10 feet from lot lines or buildings; however, tire piles containing less than 500 waste tires may be stored within 10 feet of lot lines or buildings after the operator has obtained approval from the fire code official. Waste tire piles containing less than 500 waste tires shall not exceed 6 feet in height when within 20 feet of any property line, building, or perimeter fencing. Side slopes shall not exceed 60 degrees. Any individual waste tire pile shall be separated from any other waste tire pile, combustible ground vegetation, stored used tires, waste tire material, or products made from tires, by a distance of at least 40 feet. b.) Either reduce the amount of waste tires on site to below 500, move waste tires so that the piles are no closer than 10 feet from lot lines or buildings and 40 feet from used tires, or obtain alternative storage approval from the local fire authority.
