Wallace,` , MPH, Director COLORADO Department of Public Health& Environment DATE: June 3, 2005 SUBJECT: Grant Application, Colorado Waste Tire Program Enclosed for Board review and approval is a grant application to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Division of Local Government, for funds to clean-up seven sites where tires are currently stored and to conduct a"tire amnesty weekend". 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 Departments' Strategic Plan. The grant request is $56,312.50. The funding source is from DOLA via a surcharge to tire purchasers that was authorized in HB 95-1238, CRS 24-32-114(1). I recommend approval of this grant request. 2005-1655 Weld County Waste Tire Clean-up And Recycling Project Grant Application 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) Cindi Etcheverry(Ext. 2220) 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 minimizing negative environmental impacts from waste disposal. In connection with the Department of Local Affairs' (DOLA) Waste Tire Cleanup and Processing Program and pursuant to Weld County Code 23-3-30. I. which, by definition, prohibits non-commercial junk yards from storing waste tires, the WCDPHE seeks funds from DOLA's Waste Tire Recycling and Cleanup Fund to address several illegal storage sites within Weld County. Piles of illegally stored waste tires provide a receptacle for standing water where mosquitoes may lay eggs, increasing their population. Mosquitoes serve as a known vector for transmitting the West Nile Virus, and in the recent past Weld County has documented numerous cases of both humans and animals infected by West Nile Virus. Cleaning up the piles of waste tires would serve to eliminate possible breeding grounds. Purpose of the Grant The purpose of the grant is to remove tires illegally stored at seven identified locations and to conduct a"Tire Amnesty Weekend"where County residents can deliver tires that they may have in their possession. Description of the Project As described above, the project would entail two phases: Phase 1 includes the removal of illegally stored tires at seven identified sites within the County. Phase 2 is a tire amnesty weekend where County residents can deliver tires that they have in their possession to two identified drop-off sites. Phase 1 —Seven Sites Review of aerial photography provided to the WCDPHE revealed seven sites where a minimum of 50 illegally stored waste tires are present. These private sites are not in compliance with Weld County Code 23-3-30.I. WCDPHE has met with the property owners of each of the seven sites and have received their cooperation and written permission to remove the tires. The location of the tires and the estimated number of tires are given on the following table and maps to each of the sites are attached. 2 Seven Sites for Clean-up Property Owner Waste Tire Location Number of Tires (Approximate) Site # 10—George Sack 14313 WCR 6 2000 Site #22 — Stromo, Inc. 21970 WCR 30 350 Owner- John Moser Hudson, CO Site # 25 —International Steel 12723 WCR 6 % 500 and Pipe Supply Site # 30—Bittersweet Turf 34430 WCR 398 50 Farms Roggen, CO Site # 33 —Floyd Ford 22017 WCR 87 200 Site# 34—New Day/Sunrise 6519 WCR 34 50 LLC Site# 35 —John Lee Alles 24708 WCR 41 750 Phase 2 —Waste Tire Amnesty Weekend Weld County is an extremely large County covering 3,999 square miles. As such, two drop-off sites will be identified to receive waste tires on a designated weekend. One site will serve the northern portion of the County(probably in Greeley) while the second site will serve the southern portion of the County(probably in the Dacono/Firestone/Frederick area). WCDPHE Staff will be present to assist county residents who bring their tires to be recycled. Since larger industrial loader tires are problematic in that they can not be shredded, we will only accept car, tractor, and trucks tires (see cost estimates). Total Tire Estimates From phase 1, there are an estimated 4000 waste tires to be removed at the seven identified sites. Of these tires, there are approximately 1,500 car tires and 2,150 truck and smaller tractor tires. For phase 2, the number of tires to be received from the two drop-off sites will be estimated for this proposal. Past clean-up projects conducted in the County have resulted in the receipt of an average 2 tires per 100 residents. However, these clean-ups were located within the County's communities and towns rather than the rural areas. Our estimates are based upon observations and anecdotal evidence that rural residents store more tires than urban dwelling residents. With these considerations in mind, we are estimating that we'll receive approximately 6,000 waste tires during Waste Tire Amnesty Weekend. Using the previous known ratio of car to truck/tractor tires from the seven larger sites, we estimate that 2250 car tires and 3750 truck and smaller tractor tires will be collected. Only licensed, approved recycling or disposal facility contractors will be considered in the bidding process. Therefore, transport of the waste tires from each of the nine sites (seven larger sites and two drop-off sites from Waste Tire Amnesty Day) will be in accordance with state 3 regulations. While the bidding process is open to all providers, recycling of the waste tires is the preferred method of clean-up and will influence the outcome of the chosen provider. Budget The Weld County Health Department would use the requested funds from the Waste Tire Recycling and Cleanup Fund to remove the tires from sites to an approved disposal/recycling facility. Total cost to remove, transport, and/or recycle the waste tires was arrived at by contacting a licensed recycling company for an estimate. The following list includes tires from the seven identified sites, a projected estimate from the two collection sites, matching funds in the form of Weld County personnel and Land Owner participation hours: Disposal of waste tires $54,562.50 (see itemized table for totals) Marketing of Tire Amnesty Weekend $1,750.00 Personnel—(in kind match) $4,600.00 Land Owner Participation—(in kind match) $4,500.00 Total project $65,413.50 Cost per Cost Total Item unit # of Tires Total Request Car tires w/o rims $1.25 2,550 $3,187.50 Car tires with rims $2.25 1,200 $2,700 Truck/Sm Tractor Tires w/o rims $6.00 4,425 $26,550 Sm Tractor/Truck Tires with Rims $15.00 1,475 $22,125 Marketing budget for Tire Amnesty Weekend $1,750 $56,312.50 After a competitive bidding process, a licensed recycling contractor will be awarded this contract. Every effort will be made 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 seven larger sites upon completion of the proposed project. Photographs of each of the seven sites will be taken to insure the tires at each site are adequately removed. Salary for an employee from the Environmental Health Division of the Weld County Health Department will serve as partial in kind match for this project. A set number of hours for the employee will be assigned for administration and monitoring of this project. Several sites have tires that are difficult to access or are partially buried. Where needed, land owners have agreed to collect and neatly pile waste tires in a more accessible location as the remaining in kind match for this project. Making the waste tires more accessible will lower the cost of removal. Total requested funding for this project is $56,312.50. 4 Statement of Certification The Weld County Board of County Commissioners hereby certifies that the following properties located in Weld County Colorado are the site of illegally disposed waste tires. The tires will be removed to a state or county-approved legal disposal or recycling facility. All contracting and bidding procedures for implementing the project will be conducted in accordance with state and county law and bidding and contracting procedures.
