E1 Camino Tire Facility No. 39-TI-0883 Page 3 of 4 14 CCR 17353 Vector Control Measures At the time of this inspection, staff was unable to verify vector control measures in place for the WTF. Pursuant to this section, all waste tires should be stored in a manner which prevents the breeding and harborage of mosquitoes, rodents, and other vectors by the following means: • Cover with an impermeable barrier, other than soil, to prevent the entry or accumulation of precipitation; or • The use of treatments or methods to prevent or eliminate vector breeding as necessary, provided the control program is approved as appropriate and effective by the local vector control authority, if such authority exists. If no local vector control authority exists, the local health department and the State Department of Health Services shall approve the vector control plan. Any control program approved by the local vector control authority shall be subject to CIWMB concurrence at the time of issuance or renewal of the permit. 14 CCR 17354 Storage of Waste Tires At the time of this inspection, approximately 700 waste tires were being stored on the premises in close proximity to the building structures. Waste tires were still affixed to the rims and the site was not constructed to protect bodies of water from runoff of pyrolytic oil which might result from a tire fire. Pursuant to this section: (A) Waste tires shall be restricted to individual waste tires storage units which do not exceed 5,000 square feet of contiguous area. Any pile shall not exceed 50,000 cubic feet in volume nor 10 feet in height. Waste tire storage units shall not exceed 6 feet in height when within 20 feet of any property line. Waste tires shall not be located within 10 feet of any property line. The minimum distance between waste tires and structures that are located either on-site or off-site shall be as specified in Table I of 14 CCR § 17354. (B) Waste tires shall be separated from vegetation and other potentially flammable material by no less than 40 feet. Accessible fire lanes with a minimum width as specified in the above referenced Table I shall be provided between tire units. Fire lanes shall be kept free of flammable or combustible material and vegetation. Access to fire lanes for emergency vehicles must be unobstructed at all times. Open flames, blow torches, or highly flammable materials, including but not limited to, tire inner tubes, are prohibited within 40 feet of any waste tire pile. All of the above storage requirements in section (A) and (B) shall apply to the storage of waste tires unless, for any particular requirement, the local fire authority having jurisdiction over a particular facility determines that a different requirement is necessary or adequate to meet the intent of this regulation for the prevention of fire and the protection of life and property. (C) Surface water drainage shall be directed around and away from the waste tire storage area.
