The following summarizes the statutes and regulations
applicable to waste tire enforcement. In addition, a list of statutory and
regulatory citable offenses has been compiled for use by inspectors.
Statutes
Assembly Bill 1843 (Brown, Statutes of 1989) established the waste tire program in 1990, commencing with
section 42800 in Chapter 16 of the
Public Resources Code. Under Chapter 16 the Board is vested with responsibility for the administration of waste tire
programs and must protect public health, safety, and the environment by establishing technical standards and a
permitting program for waste tire facilities and technical standards for solid waste facilities, which handle tires for storage and disposal.
Regulations
The Board developed and implemented final Waste Tire Facility Permitting and Storage
regulations on November 3, 1993, establishing
technical standards for waste tire facilities and solid waste facilities which handle tires for storage and disposal and a
permitting program for waste tire facilities.
Statutes
Senate Bill (SB) 744 (McCorquodale, 1993) established the Waste Tire Hauler Registration and Manifest Program in Chapter 19, commencing with section 42950 of the
Public Resources Code.
Senate Bill (SB) 876 (Escutia, Statutes of 2000, Chapter 838) expanded the Board’s authority to oversee the management of used and waste tires and also charged the Board with implementing a new and improved "California Uniform Waste and Used Tire Manifest System."
Regulations
On May 9, 1996, the Board’s Waste Tire Hauler Regulations became effective. These regulations include changes brought about by the
passage of SB 744. The Board regulates the storage, disposal, and hauling of used and waste tires.
To aid enforcement grantees in their inspections of storage, generator, and end use facilities and waste tire haulers,
three lists of citable offenses have been
prepared.
