The application requests funds to cover the cost of the removal of the tires. The grant request and subsequent activities correlate with goals defined in the Department's Strategic Plan. The grant request is $64,870.75. The funding source is from DOLA via a surcharge to tire purchasers that was authorized in HP 95-1238, CRS 24-32-1140). I recommend approval of this grant request. 2006-0351 Weld County Waste Tire Clean-up And Recycling Project Grant Application January 23, 2006 • Submitted on behalf of the Board of Weld County Commissioners by: Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment 1555 N 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 (970) 304-6415 Trevor Jiricek (Ext. 2214) „cc ce-G.36/ Weld County Waste Tire Clean-up and Recycling Project Grant Application Background The Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment (WCDPHE) seeks to uphold the mission of the department by preserving, promoting-and protecting a healthy life and safe environment for the residents of Weld County. As a common goal, the Environmental Health Services Division serves this mission by working to minimize negative environmental impacts such as the illegal storage of waste tires. Piles of illegally stored waste tires provide a receptacle for standing water where mosquitoes may lay eggs, increasing their population. Mosquitoes are a known vector for transmitting the West Nile Virus and other diseases. The County has documented numerous cases of both human and animal infections. Recently the WCDPHE sought for and obtained grant funding from the Department of Local Affairs' (DOLA) Waste Tire Cleanup and Processing Program. The grant monies were utilized in two different phases. Weld County resident's response to both phases of the waste tire clean-up program was tremendous, far exceeding expectations by collecting 24,608 tires, 14,608 more tires than the originally estimated 10,000 tires. An unexpected outcome of our recent waste tire collection activities was the finding of additional illegal waste tire collection sites where approximately 15,000 waste tires are currently stored. Therefore, WCDPHE seeks funds from DOLA's Waste Tire Recycling and Cleanup Fund to clean-up these additional sites within Weld County. Purpose of the Grant The purpose of this grant is to aid Weld County residents in the cleanup of illegally stored waste tires at private sites. Description of the Project The collection efforts of this project will be divided into two spheres of participants. The first type of participants (Type I) will be those tire sites previously identified. The second type of participants (Type II) will be those tires sites the offices of Weld County Planning and Zoning and Environmental Health Services Division of WCDPHE anticipate identifying through private complaints and by advertising this potential clean-up program to Weld County citizens. Type I Participants During the recent Weld County Tire Amnesty Weekend, several additional private sites where waste tires are being illegally stored were identified. Owners of the properties where tires are stored participated in the previously mentioned Amnesty promotion but 2 could only bring 50 waste tires to the collection sites. Weld County residents listed as reasons for harboring the illegally stored tires as: • Agricultural use—tires were previously used on the property but are no longer required • New ownership—either inheritance or change of ownership through land sales requires new occupants to cleanup newly acquired property Consequently, a sign-up sheet was generated to collect names, addresses, and contact information of property owners who had large numbers of waste tires remaining on their property. Additional Waste Tire Sites Listed below are those individuals interested in removing waste tires from their property. This list was complied during the recent Tire Amnesty Weekend held by the WCDPHE. It is not a complete list as it includes only individuals who were willing to give their contact information during the collection program. Name Address Phone #Tires 1.

Glenn Clark 11258 WCR 40, Platteville, CO 970-737-2212 750 TOTAL 16,535 * All participants will be asked to transport, or arrange for the transport of waste tires stored on their respective properties to the recycling contractor's site with one exception. Sherwood Langley has approximately 3500 waste tires stored on his property. His age and financial status make the participant delivery problematic. Mr. Langley's property has a long standing violation reputation where the storage of waste tires has been prevalent. However, recently Mr. Langley has been working with Weld County Commission of Planning and Zoning to meet compliance standards. Therefore, the proposed grant requests Sherwood Langley's waste tires be picked up by the designated waste tire recycling agent. Type II Participants The second type of participants for the proposed DOLA grant include property owners who continue to store waste tires because they have not been informed of the changing regulation regarding waste tires. The majority of these residents continue to store tires predominantly because proper disposal constitutes an immense expense for agricultural workers. As evidenced by the overwhelming success of the previous amnesty collection, Weld County residents are ready and willing to eliminate their waste tires given the proper encouragement and help. Therefore, we propose running an informational campaign designed to inform all Weld County residents of the possibility of help with their clean-up through the proposed DOLA grant. As a result of this educational campaign, we anticipate the identification and need for collection of an additional 15,000 waste tires. Total Tire Estimates Type I participants house approximately 16,500 tires and we expect to collect approximately 15,000 tires from Type II participants. Therefore, we estimate the proposed cleanup to consist of 31,500 illegally stored waste tires. Appling the previous known ratio of car to truck/tractor tires from last years collection, we anticipate the breakdown of the proposed 31,500 tires will occur as 79%, or 24,885 tires, will be passenger vehicle tires, 9%, or 2835 tires, will be truck/tractor tires, 11%, or 3465 tires, 4 will be passenger vehicle tires with wheels, and 1%, or 315 tires, will be truck/tractor tires with wheels. Loader tires will not be accepted for the proposed grant. An assessment of each site will be made by personnel from WCDPHE contingent upon the approval of the proposed grant. Participants will be responsible for the accurate counting of waste tires on their property. WCDPHE personnel will issue Weld County residents a site specific voucher (Collection Ticket) each made-out for the explicit number of tires per property to be collected during a given specific period of time. Tracking of waste tires and collection will be simplified and easier to control since residents will be allowed to recycle only as many tires as is listed on their site-specific voucher. Budget Only licensed, approved recycling or disposal facility contractors will be considered in the bidding process for the proposed grant. Therefore, waste tire disposal or recycling will be in accordance with state regulations. While the bidding process is open to all licensed providers, recycling of the waste tires is the preferred method of clean-up and will influence the outcome of the chosen provider. The Weld County Health Department would use the requested funds from the Waste Tire Recycling and Cleanup Fund to recycle/dispose of tires from private county sites. After contacting a licensed recycling company for per-tire cost estimates, total costs were arrived at by applying the estimate to the total number of tires according to the previously mentioned breakdown. Requested funds for waste tire disposal/recycling are expected to be no less than the amount as listed below. The following list includes tires from the known sites, a projected estimate of tires at expected sites, advertising expense, and estimates for matching funds in the form of Weld County personnel and Land Owner participation hours: Disposal/Recycling of waste tires $63,120.75 Advertising Expense 1,750.00 Personnel— (in kind matching funds) 6,000.00 Land Owner Participation — (in kind matching funds) 10,400.00 Total project $81,270.75 5 Budget for Tires and Advertising Expense Cost per Item unit # of Tires Cost Total Total Car tires w/o rims $1.25 24,885 31,106.25 Truck/Sm Tractor Tires ≤28" w/o rims $6.00 1416 8,496 - Truck/Tractor Tires >28"w/o rims $7.75 1419 10,997.25 Car tires with rims $2.25 3465 7,796.25 Truck/Sm Tractor Tires with Rims $15.00 315 4,725 Advertising Expense 1,750 $64,870.75 After a competitive bidding process, a licensed recycling contractor will be awarded this contract. Every effort will be make to ensure the contractor implements only approved methods for the re-use and recycling of the waste tires. Weld County personnel will visit each of the sites to assemble an accurate accounting of the number of waste tires present on each property. Landowners will be issued a voucher for a set amount of tires previous to tires being transported to the disposal/recycling facility. Salary for WCDPHE Environmental Health Division employees and costs for Land Owner participation are included as in-kind match for the proposed project ($16,400.00). Total requested funding for the proposed project is $64,870.75. 6 Colorado Waste Tire Grant Program Illegal Waste Tire Disposal/Storage Cleanup Application Form DLG-C Name of Entity Applying for Funds Weld County Borad of County Commissioners Type of Applicant: Municipality XX County Federal ID#: 84-6000-813 Address: 915 10th St. City Greeley State CO Zip 80631 Name of Primary Contact Person Trevor Jiricek Title Director, Environmental Health Services Phone 970-304-6415, X2214 Fax 970-304-6411 E-Mail tjiricek(a),co.weld.co.us 1.
