§ 62-200. Waste tire site storage requirements.

The following storage requirements shall be met prior to registration as a waste tire site.

(1)

Fire protection.

a.

Whole waste tire storage shall meet the Standard for Storage of Rubber Tires as adopted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

b.

Cut, chipped or shredded waste tire storage shall meet the fire prevention, exposure protection and fire fighting access guidelines contained in the Standard for Storage of Rubber Tires as adopted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

c.

Indoor storage of waste tires shall meet the requirements as adopted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). (Copies of the NFPA standard for indoor and outdoor storage may be obtained by contacting the NFPA, P.O. Box 9101, Quincy, MA 02269, 800-344-3555.)

d.

Outdoor storage shall meet the requirements as adopted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

(2)

Runoff protection. Surface water drainage must be diverted around and away from waste tires.

(3)

Location. Waste tire sites shall not be located in a wetland, sinkhole or floodplain (unless protection is provided against at least a 50-year flood by impervious dikes or other appropriate means to prevent the flood waters from contacting the waste tires).

(4)

Site control. Waste tire sites shall be fenced or enclosed or otherwise made inaccessible. Signs shall be posted to prohibit unauthorized entry (wording such as "Access Restricted to Authorized Haulers Only" may be used.)

(5)

Vector control. Conditions shall be maintained that are unfavorable for the harboring, feeding and breeding of vectors. If the method being used to control vectors is not effective, the owner/operator of the waste tire site must use an alternative method to correct the vector problem. The owner/operator of a waste tire site storing tires during the period April 1 through October 31 shall use one or more of the following methods of vector control:

a.

Drain tires of water unless certified dry by the waste tire hauler and kept dry within a building, enclosed trailer or under cover impermeable to water. The cover shall be maintained to be impermeable to water.

1.

Tires received November 1 through March 31 that contain water shall be drained of water by April 1.

2.

Tires received April 1 through October 31 that contain water shall be drained of water within 24 hours of receipt.

b.

Alter tires so as not to retain water. Tires received November 1 through March 31 shall be altered and drained of water by April 1. Tires received April 1 through October 31 shall be altered and drained of water upon receipt or be certified dry by the waste tire hauler. If certified dry by the waste tire hauler, the tires shall be altered within seven days of receipt;

c.

Treat the tires with a larvicide and/or adulticide appropriate to prevent the development of mosquito larvae and pupae and repeat treatment as often as necessary to prevent such development, taking into account the effectiveness and life of the larvicide and/or adulticide utilized.

1.

Larvicides and/or adulticides must be applied in accordance with their label, Chapter 281 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and Missouri Department of Agriculture regulations.

2.

The dimensions of the tire pile and the method of stacking the tires shall allow for application of the larvicide and/or adulticide to all tires; and

d.

Alternate methods of vector control may be approved by the department if documented to control larvae, pupae and adult mosquitoes.
