The State Health Department and Weld County Health Department have recommended conditional approval of this request. No development standards approved with the original case change with this special review permit. ry F-.; mss, ...r Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting August 21, 1990 Page 5 CASE NUMBER: USR-918 APPLICANT: Jamison Tool, Incorporated, and Wixco Services, Incorporated REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan, Special Review permit, and Certificate of Designation for a biomedical waste incineration facility. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SEa of Section 32, T3N, R65W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: South of Weld County Road 28, west of and adjacent to Weld County Road 41. Keith Schuett reminded the Planning Commission each request will require two separate actions. One, to make a recommendation on the request; and twc , to make a recommendation on the Certificate of Designation. Ken Lind stated at the present time, both requests are under the same special review permit. This was done because because both entities take place on the same property, and because of common ownership. They wart to separate these into two distinct operations. Because of the sophistication of the equipment, tries cannot be used in the incinerator unit for test purposes as previously planned. For estate, economic, and insurance reasons, they want the businesses separated, and upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, a recorded exemption will be applied for to separate the land into separate parcels. There have been no changes in the original development standards. These have just been divided out into whichever request they were originally designed for. Because of the number of development standards in the original permit, it was almost impossible for both operations to work under them. Upon approval of these requests, each business will have it own Certificate of Designation. Insurance has been very difficult because of the diversity of the two operations. Tire Mountain Corporation and Jamison Tool, Inc. , are both owned by the Jamison Family. Because of the complexity of the original permit, monitorinc both operations has been very difficult for the health department. The applicant has withdrawn their request for one new development standard under Jamison Tool, Inc. , and Wixco Services, Inc. The State Health Department approves fencing only the Wixco facility. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience. Norma Taylor, concerned citizen, wondered why the applicant had originally stated there was no problem with the 60 plus development standards , and why is he now saying they are too cumbersome to follow? Since they are now adding Jamison Tool are their intentions to diversify the current operation. .rc Pc>_ .,.,-e Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting August 21, 1990 Page 6 Ken Lind stated it is just a name change. _There are no different uses. The property is owned by Jamison Tool. Half of the building used by Wixco Services is used by tire mountain for a shop. If Wixco expands their operation, as its special review permit will allow them to do, they will take up the entire building with a second kiln. Wes Potter, Director, Environmental Health Services, Weld County, stated this division will definitely make it easier to monitor each operation separately because they look at each use separately. He sees no interaction between the two uses. To divide the uses is not a problem. Keith Schuett stated the division allows a better plan for enforcement of the development standards. Lee Morrison stated this is a better proposal then having two operations under one name. Helen Moore, concerned citizen, asked why, if Wixco Services will be a separately entity, it has to have Jamison Tool, Inc. , on it at all? The Chairman asked Keith Schuett to read the recommendation of the Department of Planning Services for Case Number Amended USR-842 for Tire Mountain, Inc. , into the record. He amended Development Standard #22 to include the Colorado Department of Health and the Platteville Fire Protection District as per the original permit. MOTION: Ann Garrison moved Case Number Amended USR-842 for Tire Mountain, Inc. , for an amended Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review permit be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission recommendation for approval based upon the recommendation and conditions of the Department of Planning Services' staff, as given to them in writing, and the testimony heard by the Planning Commission. She is recommending this also because it will give the County greater control over Wixco Services. When Wixco and Tire Mountian came to us it was a year and a half ago and the time period they gave us for the operation of this facility, or both facilities at that time because they were joined, was much shorter than a year and a half. As so often happens when lawyers, engineers, and people from academia present evidence to us in these cases, they present a picture that doesn't turn out to be what we face in reality, and she takes this year and a half time period, which is a lot longer than what they had given us, as a sign there are inheritant problems in the engineering design of the facility. She hopes that by separating these into two separate permits the County will have greater control over the operation of the facilities. Motion seconded by LeAnn Reid.

Site Location: SE Section 32, T3N, R65W; Weld County Dear Chairman Brantner. The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division (the Division) has reviewed the June 13, 1990 request to amend the use by Special Review and Certificate of Designation; one for Tire Mountain, Inc. and one for Wixco Services, Inc. In general the Division does not object to this amendment. However the following comments are offered for your consideration. 1) Due to property ingress/egress overlap, the Division is concerned about appropriate security measures for both facilities. Both-facilities should be fenced about the perimeter and maintain their own separate controlled access point. Common areas, such as the shop and water well can be excluded and/or have it's own perimeter fencing. I may be contacted at this office if you have any-additional questions. incerely,/ ,. 1{, ` LIA3/4". LCI17 1��J Austin N.

The amendment is requested to accommodate an ownership name change. The current Certificate of Designation is in the name of Tire Mountain, Inc. , and Wixco Services, Inc. , as operator. The name on the Certificate of Designation should be changed to Jamison Tool, Inc. , and Wixco Services, Inc. There is no personnel change at this time, since both corpor- ations, the Tire Mountain, Incorporated and Jamison Tool Inc. , are entirely owned by Jarrald and Faye Jamison. I will appreciate your early review and approval of the re- quested amendment so that the change can be accomodated as neces- , sary through Weld County authorities.

Additionally, the application is for the purpose of amending the two existing Certificates of Designation, the first Certificate of Designation being for Tire Mountain , Inc, allowing Jamison and Tire Mountain, Inc. to have a solid waste disposal site for tires and scrap tire .recycling facility (Tire Mountain ) , and the second being in the name of Tire Mountain , Inc . and Wixco Services , Inc . which allows the operation of a bio-medical waste incineration facility (Wixco) . At the present time the existing Use by Special Review and two Certificates of Designation allow the above referenced two uses on the same property. It is now the desire of Tire Mountain and Wixco to create two .separate Uses by Special Review and two separate Certificates of Designation , the first Use by Special Review and Certificate of Designation being for Tire Mountain , and the second Use by Special Review and Certificate of Designation being for Wixco. When both operations and Certificates of Designation were issued it was the opinion of Tire Mountain and Wixco that the uses and property would be better served by not separating the facilities. However, after having actual experience of operation and review both Wixco and Tire Mountain have determined that for ”tr0.1742 Weld County Department of Planning Services May 25 , 1990 Page 2 purposes of review and enforcement by both Weld County and the Colorado Department of Health , it would be better to segregate the two uses with each use having its own separate operation and Development Standards which allows more efficient administration and enforcement of applicable rules , regulations , standards , ordinances and statutes. Additionally, it was determined by Weld County personnel that it would be more efficient to segregate the two permitted uses and to segregate the two uses , Amended USR ' s and Certificates of Designation would be required to be submitted. Wixco The application concerning the bio-medical waste incineration facility (Wixco) is for the sole purpose of creating a separate parcel of land , being 3 . 84 acres , by means of a Recorded Exemption procedure . County personnel determined that creation of the 3 . 84 acre parcel was a major change thus requiring the Amended Use by Special Review and Certificate of Designation . No changes of any other type or in any manner are being requested by Jamison or Wixco except to create the 3 . 84 acre parcel of land. Said 3 .84 acre parcel of land will be owned by a Colorado corporation , (Jamison Tool , Inc . ) of which all shares are owned by Faye L. Jamison and Jarrald A. Jamison ( just like Tire Mountain, Inc. ) . Wixco Services, Inc. will continue to be the operator of the facility. Again , the only requested change or amendment is to create a separate parcel of land to be owned by an entity controlled by Mr . and Mrs . Jamison with no other changes or modifications of any type requested. Tire Mountain As to Tire Mountain, Inc. , the owners of the property (Faye L . Jamison and Jarrald A . Jamison ) and their wholly owned corporation ( Tire Mountain , Inc . ) are requesting one change in the Development Standards for the Tire Mountain , Inc . facility . Other than the one change , no other changes of any type are requested. However , Weld County personnel determined that the requested change was a major change, thus requiring an amendment to the Use by Special Review and Certificate of Designation . The one requested change concerns Development Standard #7 concerning the covering of filled tire trenches with plastic and soil . Tire Mountain , in conjunction with its engineers and experts, and upon review by the Platteville Fire Protection District have determined that the covering of plastic and dirt is not needed and not practical.

The applicant , Tire Mountain , Inc . and Wixco Services , Inc . hereinafter "Wixco" have met all Conditions of Approval and entered into the various plans and agreements required by Weld County . The purpose of this application is to create two separate parcels of land located in the South Half of the North Half of the Southeast Quarter ( Si Ni SE} ) of Section Thirty-two ( 32) , Township Three ( 3) North, Range Sixty-five (65 ) West of the 6th P. M. , Weld County, Colorado pursuant to a Recorded Exemption application and format . Proposed Lot "A" of the Recorded Exemption will be 3 . 84 acres and proposed Lot "B" of the Recorded Exemption shall be 36. 03 acres. Lot "A" is the location of the biomedical waste incinerator facility operated by Wixco Services, Inc. and Lot "B" will be the location of one of the parcels of land approved for use as a tire landfill, storage and recycling facility operated by Tire Mountain , Inc . At the present time both proposed Lot "A" and Lot "B" are owned by Jarrald and Faye Jamison .

Attached to this letter and supporting documents is a packet designated as "Certificate of Designation Application" which is a one page letter requesting the State Department of Health to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designation such that Jamison Tool , Inc . is approved as the property owner thus allowing the Wixco " lot" to be created . No additional comments are needed concerning the request for the Amended Certificate of Designation as the application for the Amended Certificate of Designation is self-explanatory. Weld County Department of Planning Services May 25 , 1990 Page 3 As part of this application for the biomedical waste incinerator, the following details of the proposed operation and use are supplied . Again , reference is made to the March 9, 1989 application and all supplements and amendments thereto for additional detail . Extensive detail is not provided herein as the applicant is not making changes of any type to any use or operation except as to create a separate 3 .84 acre parcel of land for the operation of the Wixco biomedical waste incinerator. Proposed use: Medical waste incinerator which incinerates biomedical waste collected and delivered to site and said waste is then incinerated at a high temperature. Need for use: Weld County and the Colorado health care community need a comprehensive service for proper and safe collection , tracking and incineration of medical and biological wastes. The health care industry and other biomedical experts have determined that the best available alternative and most environmentally sound method for disposing of the biomedical waste is incineration . By use of incineration significant quantities of biomedical waste are burned and reduced to ash in a quantity that is both manageable and significantly decreased , thus saving valuable landfill space and eliminating the hazards related to the practice of disposing untreated biomedical wastes in landfills . Additionally , medical users cannot afford their own on-site sterilization or incinerator procedures due to new stringent regulations and costs . Safety , environmental concerns and economics dictate that biomedical wastes be incinerated at central facilities which are highly regulated and subject to rigorous inspection and enforcement. Types of existing uses on surrounding properties: Uses on surrounding properties include tire landfill , storage and recycling ; junk storage ; dryland farming ; auto repair, storage and salvage; and turkey brooding. Distance of proposed use to residential structures in each direction: Located upon the adjoining Tire Mountain facility are two mobile home residences and there is an additional mobile home o f C e -a Weld County Department of Planning Services May 25 , 1990 Page 4 residence located immediately North of the Wixco and Tire Mountain facilities which is used for on-site management and care for the Hudson Auto Salvage operation . Approximately 3/4 mile North of the Wixco operation is a residence . Another residence is located approximately 1} mile South of the Wixco facility alongside Weld County Road 41 with another residence located approximately 1} mile Southwest of the Wixco facility on Weld County Road 39. All other residences are located more than 1 mile from the Wixco operation. Maximum number of users, patrons, members and buyers: Only employees and operational people for Wixco Services, Inc . and the actual owner of the incinerator , International Process Research Corporation will use the facility and be on site. Thus , there are no users or other individuals which will have access to the facilities except for delivery personnel who will deliver the biomedical wastes to the facility but will not be permitted in the building in which the incineration operations take place. Number of employees, number of shifts and hours of operation: In accordance with the Development Standards , operation time will take place twenty hours per day, five days per week for each approved incineration unit. There will generally be two or three variable hour shifts and each incinerator will require two or three employees . The maximum number of employees during full operations with two incinerators will be twelve with no more than six employees on site at any time. Type of water source for proposed use: Water needs for the operation are minimal with water being needed for on-site consumption and sanitary purposes and use of approximately twenty gallons per week of water for pollution control equipment. Water will be provided by an approved Larimie Fox Hill non-tributary aquifer well , Permit No. 032004-F. Said well is shared by both Tire Mountain, Inc. and Wixco. Access route(s) to be utilized for proposed use: Access to the facility will utilize Weld County Road 41 from both North and South. Additional access routes will utilize Interstate 76 to Hudson , State Highway 52 and U.S. 85 . Traffic use on other County roads will be minimal. Weld County Department of Planning Services May 25, 1990 Page 5 Type , size , weight and frequency of vehicular traffic associated with proposed use: Employees will generally use passenger cars or pickup trucks.

Type of sewage facilities for proposed use: The facility is currently served by an approved septic tank and leach line. Any other floor drains or spill and wash water facilities must be connected to a water tight vault in accordance with Development Standards . Proposed fire protection measures associated with proposed use: The kiln is entirely enclosed with no outside flame availability. Self-activating chemical fire extinguishers and manual chemical fire extinguishers will be on-site and installed in the operations area . The facility is served by the Platteville Fire Protection District which has inspected and given recommendations for fire safety at the facility . Additionally, the District has access to the site at all times and has received training from Wixco concerning safety and fire procedures . Types and maximum number of animals to be concentrated on USR area at one time: None. Type and size of waste , stockpile or storage areas associated with proposed use: All incoming waste is directed to a waste receiving area which can hold up to 48 hours of waste material . For any waste material that cannot be processed within 48 hours the same must be stored in enclosed refrigerated trucks at a temperature of 45 degrees or below. Additionally , wastes cannot be kept in delivery trucks for more than 24 hours from the waste generator . Weld County Department of Planning Services May 25 , 1990 Page 6 All ash is placed in closed disposal units for storage until hauled to existing landfills for sanitary disposal . There is no other storage of waste , stockpiling or storage areas associated with the use. Type of storm water retention facilities associated with proposed use: Storm water retention facilities , specifically being detention ponds , have been constructed in accordance with the approved and existing Use by Special Review. Time schedule and method of removal and disposal of debris , junk and other waste associated with Proposed use: The only waste associated with the facilities operation is ash. Such material is removed when its container unit is full and has cooled . The materials are then disposed of in approved landfills. It is estimated that ash removal will be done every two days .

Proposed landscaping plans and erosion control measures associated with proposed use: All such plans are in accordance with the existing and approved Use by Special Review which has an erosion control plan approved by the local Soil Conservation Service. Reclamation procedures upon cessation of USR activity: Wixco has entered into post performance guarantees with Weld County providing for emergency response , contamination and closure and reclamation of the incineration facility. The applicant has posted a substantial bond with the County to cover all such contingencies. Time table showing time required for construction and start-up of proposed use: The applicant is presently conducting required test burns and it is contemplated that full operation of one incinerator will commence during June of 1990 . The time table for installation of a second incinerator has been established as such installation will depend upon use of the approved and installed incinerator.

JAMISON • AQUIFER : LARAMIE-FOX HILLS PERMIT NO. : 3a001-- F • Ground In compliance with C.R.S. 37-90-137(1) and the Statewide Nontributary Colorado Water Rules, Jarrold A.�� Jamison, 15721 Weld Co. Rd. 10, Ft. Lupton, (hereinafter "applicant") submitted an application for a andmrecordsooftthe Division of Based WaternResourcesiotherStatedEngi the neer applicant ndsaas follows: 1 . The application was received complete by the State Engineer on June 29, 1987, 2. The applicant proposes to increase and expand the use of an existing well, Permit No. 84494. Permit No. 84494 was issued on June 23, 1976 for domestic purposes. Well construction was completed on January 8, 1978 to a total depth of 410 feet with perforated casing installed from 330 feet to 410 feet deep. 3. The well is located in the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 32, Township 3 North, Range 65 West, 6th Principal Meridian. 4. The well is located outside the boundaries of a designated ground water basin.• 5. The applicant proposes to apply the water withdrawn from the well to the following beneficial uses: Domestic, commercial, industrial , and irrigation. 6. The proposed maximum pumping rate of the well is 15 gallons per' minute, and the requested average annual amount of ground water to be withdrawn is 3 acre-feet. 7. The applicant is the owner of the land on which the well is constructed. 8. The well withdraws ground water from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer (hereinafter "aquifer") , which, according to the Denver Basin Rules, is located 330 feet to 660 feet below land surface at the location of the well. 9. The location of the well is more than 600 feet from any existing well completed in the aquifer. W11 / ' --- • re"17 Applicant : Jarrald A. Jamison Page 2 v+ ^k Aquifer : Laramie-Fox Hills 4 Permit No. : 3J,0o�{- 1- 10. According to a sworn statement, the applicant owns, or has consent to withdraw ground water underlying 40 acres of land as further • described in said statement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 11 . Withdrawal of ground water from the aquifer underlying the land claimed by the applicant will not, within one hundred years, deplete the flow of a natural stream at an annual rate greater, than one-tenth of one percent of the annual rate of withdrawal and therefore the ground water is nontributary ground water as defined in C.R.S. 37-90-103(10.5) . 12. In considering whether the requested permit shall be approved the provisions of C.R.S. 37-90-137(4) and the Denver Basin Rules shall apply. Withdrawals shall be allowed on the basis of an aquifers life of 100 years, C.R.S. 37-90-137(4)(b)(I) . 13. The quantity of water in the aquifer, exclusive of artificial recharge, underlying the 40 acres of land described in Exhibit A is 960 acre-feet. This determination was based on the following as specified in the Denver Basin Rules: a. The average specific yield of the saturated aquifer materials, underlying the land under consideration is 15 percent. b. The average thickness of the saturated aquifer materials, underlying the land under consideration is 160 feet. 14. A review of the records in the State Engineer's office has not disclosed that there are any other existing wells or other water rights claiming or withdrawing ground water from the aquifer underlying the land claimed by the applicant. Based on the above, the State Engineer finds that there is water available for withdrawal by the proposed well and no material injury to vested water.. '" rights would result from the issuance of the requested permit subject to the' following conditions: • a. The allowed the aquifer by the well annualn f w b t r shallnotexceed3 acre-feet (the quantity of water requested by the applicant). b. The maximum pumping rate of the well shall not exceed 15 gallons per minute. c. A totalizing flow meter must be installed on the well and maintained in good working order. Permanent records of all diversions must be maintained by the well owner (recorded at least annually) and submitted to the Division Engineer upon request. fia s o -a F{fi_f°ktkii,$' 1 • y14 � r 4's;r {� • # ° Applicant : Jarrald A.

The investigation included test borings and laboratory testing of samples obtained from these borings. The objectives of this study were to (1 ) evaluate the subsurface conditions at the site relative to the proposed construction, (2) make recommendations regarding the design of the proposed trenches and embankments, and (3) recommend certain precautions which should be taken because of adverse soil and/or ground water conditions. SITE EXPLORATION The field exploration, carried out on May 3, 1988, consisted of drilling, logging, and sampling ten (10) test borings. The test borings were located by Empire Laboratories, Inc. from existing property corners. The locations of the test borings are shown on the Test Boring Location Plan included in Appendix A of this report. Boring logs prepared from the field logs are shown in Appendix A. These logs show soils encountered, location of sampling, and ground water at the time of the exploration. The borings were advanced with a four-inch diameter, continuous- type, power-flight auger drill. During the drilling operations, a geotechnical engineer from Empire Laboratories, Inc. was present and made continuous observations of the soils encountered. Vi t C t-4 ?, -1- SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The proposed site is located at the northwest corner of County Road 26 and County Road 41 , southeast of Platteville, Colorado. More particularly, the site is described as Tracts A and B of the Jamison Special Use Permit located in the Southeast 1 /4 of Section 32, Township 3 North, Range 65 West of the Sixth P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. The site consists of two parcels. An office and existing garages are located in the northeast corner of the north parcel. Stockpiles and tires are located in the central portion of this tract, and portions of this area are fenced. A long trench, five (5) to ten (10) feet deep, is located in the western portion of this tract. Large piles of tires are located south of the trench. An area where tires have been burned and covered with sand is located in the northwest corner of Parcel A. The north parcel is relatively flat to gently rolling and exhibits poor to minor surface drainage. Tires are stockpiled at the northeast corner of the south parcel, and the remainder of the tract consists of a vacant area vegetated with grass and weeds. This area of Parcel B is relatively flat to gently rolling and has positive drainage generally to the northeast. LABORATORY TESTS AND EVALUATION Samples obtained from the test borings were subjected to testing in the laboratory to provide a sound basis for evaluating the physical properties of the soils encountered. Moisture contents, dry unit weights, unconfined compressive strengths, and the Atterberg limits were determined. A summary of the test results is included in Appendix B. Grain size distribution characteristics were also determined, and curves showing this data are included in Appendix B. SOIL AND GROUND WATER CONDITIONS The soil profile at the site consists of strata of materials arranged in different combinations. In order of increasing depths, they are as follows: (1 ) Fill Material and Silty Topsoil: A seven and one-half (7-1 /2) to nine (9) foot layer of fill material was encountered at the surface of Borings 1 and 2. The fill consists of a mixture of silty sand, burnt tires, and pieces of tire wire. A six (6) inch layer of silty topsoil was encountered at the surface in Borings 5 through 10. The topsoil has been penetrated by root growth and organic matter. (2) Silty Sand: A layer of clean to silty sand underlies the surface, fill and/or topsoil and extends to the sandy silty clay stratum below. A lower layer of the silty sand was encountered in Boring 10 at a depth of thirteen (13) feet and extends to depths of seventeen (17) feet below the surface. The sand is nonplastic to slightly plastic, is contains varying amounts of silt and is dry to damp in situ. (3) Sandy Silty Clay: This stratum underlies the silty sand in all borings at depths of one (1 ) to thirteen (13) feet below the surface and extends to depths of twelve and one-half (12-1 /2) feet to beyond the depths explored. A lower layer of the clay stratum was encountered in Boring 4 at a depth of seventeen and one-half (17-1 /2) feet below the surface and extends beyond the depth explored. The silty clay is plastic, contains varying amounts of sand and is damp in situ. (4) Silty Sand and Gravel: The silty sand and gravel was encountered within the clay stratum in Boring 4 at a depth of twelve and one-half (12-1 /2) feet below the surface and in Boring 10 at a depth of seventeen (17) feet below the surface and and extends to depths of seventeen and one-half (17-1 /2) feet to greater than twenty (20) feet. The silty sand and gravel contains varying amounts of silt, is poorly graded, and is medium dense to dense. C =_ -3- • (5) Ground d Water: At the time of the investigation, free ground was encountered in Borings 6 and 8 at depths of seven (7) to fifteen and one-half (15-1 /2) feet below the surface. No free ground water was encountered in the remaining borings drilled at the site to the depths explored. Water levels in this area are subject to change due to seasonal variations. RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCUSSION It is our understanding that trenches approximately 67-foot wide at the bottom and 8-foot deep with 8-foot berms on the sides are to be constructed to store used tires. The top of the trenches will be covered with a synthetic liner which can be removed in the future so the tires can be recycled. The trenches will be approximately 75- to 80-feet apart. Based on the soil and ground water conditions encountered, it is our opinion the site is suitable for the proposed use. It is recommended that the bottom of the trenches be placed a minimum of two (2) feet above existing ground water. In the area of Boring 6, the trenches should be no more than four (4) feet deep in the remainder of the site, the proposed trench depth of eight (8) feet is feasible. It is recommended that the trenches be excavated on 1-1 /2 to 2 :1 slopes. Sloughing or failure may occur on slopes steeper than 1-1 /2 :1 . Subgrade below embankments adjacent to the excavated areas should be scarified and recompacted at or near optimum moisture to a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 698-78. (See Appendix C. ) Fill should consist of the excavated material and should be placed in uniform six (6) to eight (8) inch lifts on minimum 2 :1 slopes and mechanically compacted at or near optimum moisture to a minimum of ninety percent (90$) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 690-78. The embankment material should be constructed on minimum 2 :1 slopes. It is our understanding that the slopes will not be vegetated. It should be noted that erosion of the face of the slopes may occur if they are not vegetated or protected from erosion or weathering. The growth of weeds should help minimize erosion of the embankment slopes. -4- • GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS (1 ) It is recommended that compaction requirements specified herein be verified in the field with density tests performed under the direction of the geotechnical engineer. GENERAL COMMENTS This report has been prepared to aid in the evaluation of the property and to assist the engineer in the design of this project. In the event that any changes in the design of the trenches or their locations are planned, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report will not be considered valid unless said changes are reviewed and conclusions of this report modified or approved in writing by Empire Laboratories, Inc. , the geotechnical engineer of record. Every effort was made to provide comprehensive site coverage through careful locations of the test borings, while keeping the site investigation economically viable. Variations in soil and ground water conditions between test borings may be encountered during construction. In order to permit correlation between the reported subsurface conditions and the actual conditions encountered during construction and to aid in carrying out the plans and specifications as originally contemplated, it is recommended that Empire Laboratories, Inc. be retained to perform continuous construction review during the excavation and foundation phases of the work. Empire Laboratories, Inc. assumes no responsibility for compliance with the recommendations included in this report unless they have been retained to perform adequate on-site construction review during the course of construction. -5- • APPENDIX A. • • S410.9:1,:;1 i TEST BORING LOCATION PLAN o . z II SGAL.v- I ° tool I I a atY ROAP 41 U - - - - - _ = - - - - - - -- -J l- - - N kt l�Q10 No.4 Q I No.9 I I I I , pA q PARGrL XO.3 -Wi..¢_ I I Ho.z I j No,7 Ho.

FILL PLACEMENT Fill material shall not be placed during unfavorable weather conditions. Material proposed for use as fill shall be approved by the geotechnical engineer or his representative prior to use. Proposed import material shall be approved by the geotechnical engineer or his representative prior to hauling to the project site. Fill material shall be C-2 �' ^ �- ry uniformly mixed such as to preclude the formation of lenses of material differing from the surrounding material. All clods shall be broken into small pieces. The contractor shall construct the fill in approximately horizontal lifts extending the entire length of the fill. The thickness of the layers before compaction shall not be greater than eight (8) inches. Fill being placed on slopes or hillsides shall be benched into the existing slope. A minimum two (2) foot horizontal bench shall be cut into the existing excavated slope for each four (4) feet vertical of fill, or each lift should be benched slightly Into the existing grade. MOISTURE CONTROL • Prior to and during compaction operations, the fill material being placed shall be maintained within the range of optimum moisture specified. A general recommendation is to maintain the fill material within two percent (2%) plus or minus of optimum moisture so that proper compaction to the specified density may be obtained with a minimal effort. In building pad and paved areas, material exhibiting swelling potential shall be maintained between optimum moisture and two percent (2%) wet of optimum moisture content. The .moisture content of the fill material shall be maintained uniform throughout the fill. The contractor may be required to add necessary moisture to the fill material and to uniformly mix the water with the fill material if, in the opinion of the geotechnical engineer, it is not possible to obtain uniform moisture content by adding water on the fill surface. If, In the opinion of the geotechnical engineer, the material proposed for use in the compacted fill Is too wet to permit adequate compaction, it shall be dried in an acceptable manner prior to placement and compaction. Uniform mixing may require discing, biading or other methods approved by the geotechnical engineer or his representative. Adjustments of moisture content shall be made on the basis of determinations of moisture content by field tests as construction progresses. COMPACTION The contractor shall furnish and operate the necessary types and kinds of equipment to perform the operations required to obtain the specified compaction. This equipment may include approved tamping rollers, rubber tired rollers, smooth wheeled rollers and vibratory rollers. If a sheepsfoot roller is used, it shall be provided with cleaner bars so attached as to prevent the accumulation of material between the tamper feet. Fill areas which are not accessible to full-sized construction equipment shall be placed in maximum four (4) inch lifts and compacted with power tampers to the specified density. C-3 �C 1 e Compaction should meet the minimum percentages of maximum density as set forth in the project specifications or the recommendations of the report, The contract specifications supercede the recommendations given in this report, MOISTURE DENSITY RELATIONSHIP DETERMINATION of ed shall be furnis ed Samples bythe contractor ato the tive igeotechnical engineer fll materials to be or determ nation of maximum density and optimum moisture or relative density. Sufficient laboratory moisture density or relative density curves will be made to • determine the optimum moisture content and maximum density for the various soils placed as fill. Tests for this determination will be made using the appropriate method conforming to the requirements of ASTM D 698 (Standard Proctor), ASTM D 1557 (Modified Proctor) or ASTM D 4253, D 4254 (Relative Density), The materials used for fill shall be classified in accordance with ASTM D 2487 in order to permit correlation between the moisture density relationship data and the material being placed and compacted. Copies of the results of these tests will be furnished to the client and others as directed by the client. These test results shall be the basis of control for all compaction effort. FIELD DENSITY AND MOISTURE TESTS The in-place density and moisture content of compacted fill will be determined by the geotechnical engineer or his representative in accordance with ASTM D 1556 (sand cone method) or ASTM D 2922, D 3017 (nuclear methods). Material not meeting the required compaction and/or moisture specifications shall be recompacted and/or moisture conditioned until the required percent compaction and/or moisture content is obtained. Sufficient compaction tests shall be made and submitted to support geotechnical results of density s r h nsitytestswillalso bepfurn shed e rec to the client and others as directed.

Hazardous Material and Waste Management Division Colorado Department of Health 4210 East 11th Avenue Denver, Colorado 80220 Re: Tire Mountain, Inc. - Certificate of Designation Dear Ms. Buckingham: In behalf of Tire Mountain, Inc. (owner ) , I am requesting an amendment by deletion of inclusion number 1 on page three the Certificate of Designation recommendation as stated in the November 10, 1988 Department letter to Weld County Board of Commissioners. That inclusion, also a condition of the issuance of a Certificate of Designation by Weld County, Colorado to Tire Mountain, Inc. , is included as follows: "1 . All trenches shall be covered with 20 mil plastic and one foot of topsoil as the trench is progressively brought to final grade. No more than 100 feet of uncovered trench shall exist at any point in time. Other materials than topsoil can be used as final cover if they are non-flammable and if erosion control, wind protection , oxygen suppression the aesthetics suitability, etc. , of the alternative materials can be demonstrated. " By this letter, Tire Mountain, Inc. , is requesting that the requirement for cover by plastic and earth be deleted and that the tires in trenches be left uncovered . Included with this letter is supporting data for that request. Herewith I am transmitting one copy each 1 ) January, 1990 report prepared by High Country Engineering entitled Evaluation of Alternataive Covering Material; 2 ) the January 16 , 1990 letter from Nelson Engineers to Platteville Fire Protection District ; and 3 ) the February 6, 1990 letter form Platteville Fire Protec- tion District to Nelson Engineers . The subject of that report and the letter is cover over the tires in trenches at Tire Mountain . Each document is self explan- atory with the report concluding that there is no compelling reason to cover the in-trench tires and that open uncovered cells of waste tires is the preferred practice. The Platteville Fire Protection District, upon review of all material, is no longer requiring cover over the tires since the District agrees with the report which recommends no cover over the tires . Upon considering all alternatives, Nelson Engineers continues to support the position of leaving the tires uncovered for the rea- sons outlined in the report, for safety reasons, and because dirt cover on the tires over the long period will surely infiltrate the trenches as it dissipates into the tire mass . The tires should be maintained in a manner free of dirt contamination to have any value for reuse, recycling or other recovery. It is necessary that every effort be made to recycle any potentially recoverable resource, which includes scrap tires. In addition, the evidence supports leaving the tires uncovered as the most effective method of avoiding ignition of the trenched tires and enhances safety to fire fighters and others near the tire trenches . There is increasing justification that waste tires be kept as free of dirt as possible so that they can be recycled or other- wise reused. Placing of dirt over the tires does not necessarily prove to be a more environmentally sound method of disposal. On the contrary, such cover will find its way into the trenched tires to a degree that recycling is rendered impossible. Thus the waste tire storage problem will continue to grow. Even more viable solutions to that problem will be found in the future as the value increases for waste tires because of shortages of other energy sources. A copy of an article from the May, 1990 American City and County magazine, Tire Recycling Catches Fire is also enclosed. In addition, I am enclosing an April 10 , 1990 letter with attachments from the Southwestern Portland Cement Company. Tire Mountain, Inc. , and the Cement Company are negotiating for the use or burning of the waste tires being collected at the Hudson facility. Such burning for fuel purposes would be accomplished under stringent conditions as described in the attached approved Special Use Site Specific Development Plan, and Certificate of Designation for Solid Waste Disposal Site, use of tires as fuel for cement manu- facture. The cement company letter points out the importance of the tires being free from dirt in order to be most usable. Upon review of the submitted material, please call me at the earliest possible date to define the next action. Tire Mountain, Inc. , is particularly anxious to obtain a resolution to the tire cover issue so that is can proceed to the next phase of tire storage. Respectfully, NEL ENGINEERS Vern C. Nelson, P.

TIRE MOUNTAIN EVALUATION OF THE NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE COVERING MATERIAL FOR THE STORAGE CELLS SCOPE The following report is pursuant to a request from Tire Mountain. This report is intended to evaluate the need for tire covering on the tire cells permitted by USR #842 . This evaluation assumes that tire recycling will be used at the USR site . This report will evaluate various options and provide documentation as well as relevant background information. We will evaluate the various options , provide an analysis of the risk , develop recommendations and justifications for various alternative methods concerning covering of the tire storage cells. This evaluation is intended to cover only the fire safety aspects of covering the tires at the tire storage facility . According to information provided from Tire Mountain, the scenario involving tire recycling will be utilized . According to the recommendations from the State Department of Health, all trenches must be covered with 20 mil plastic and 1 foot of top soil as the trench is brought to grade with no more than 100 feet of uncovered tires existing at any point in time. The recommendation from the State includes the statement that other materials can be used as a final cover if they can be proven to be non-flammable and provide erosion control , wind protection, oxygen suppression and esthetic suitability . These recommendations were incorporated into the Certificate of Designation by Weld County. This evaluation will address the above items in the context of fire safety and will determine what alternatives are available and the most cost effective means to provide a safe facility in accordance with the intent of the applicable regulations. Based upon information previously submitted , it was recognized that a final solution to the tire covering issue had not been developed . The previous documentation indicates that research and development on the alternatives to tire covering would be researched with final recommendations in the form of a plan submitted for approval . The various alternatives that were to be explored were as follows : 1 . Cover the tire cells with fire retardant plastic , maintaining ballast with tire strips and the edges only covered with soil. 2. Cover the tire cells with fire retardant plastic and cover with 1 foot of soil as ballast . ft-d .r9 —1— TIRE MOUNTAIN EVALUATION OF THE NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE COVERING MATERIAL FOR THE STORAGE CELLS SCOPE (CONT' D) 3. Cover the tire cells with fire retardant plastic and ballast with waste tires and the edges with the sidewall of tires. 4. Investigate other practical ways to safely maintain the tires and storage. The above items were evaluated as to their application, suitability and level of safety provided . According to the recommendations from the Colorado Department of Health it was imperative that any materials used must be tested to determine that they exhibit fire retardant characteristics. The applicable test standard for flammability is NFPA #701 , "The Standard Method of Fire Test for Flammable Resistance." Various plastic materials were researched in order to evaluate which materials exhibit the necessary characteristics in order to satisfy the site objectives for use as a cover material . Previous research has indicated that only a fire retardant plastic would be considered acceptable in terms of satisfying the intent of the parameters established by the Colorado Department of Health. PLASTIC COVERING ALTERNATIVE Our firm evaluated various plastic materials which might be considered acceptable for this application. We found considerable difficulty in locating materials for utilization in this application. This was due to the fact that most large sheet plastic installations have not been tested to satisfy the building or fire code requirements . The only testing that we are aware of has been for fabric materials that may be used for tent applications . In general the low cost plastics that are typically available have not been specifically tested for flammability characteristics and would not satisfy the fire safety criteria imposed by the state. In this application, the plastic cover material must also be sunlight resistant . The plastic materials evaluated do not lend themselves well to characteristics such as sunlight resistance . In the event that the tire cells are covered with only fire retardant plastic without using top soil , the plastic material must then exhibit both fire retardant characteristics as well as resistance to sunlight and maintain a reasonable service life for the life of the facility . During the course of the evaluation of the fire retardant plastics which are commercially available, it was determined that the life expectancy of the acceptable plastic material would be in the range for 2 to 3 years due to the limitations of sunlight resistance and ultraviolet penetration. -2- TIRE MOUNTAIN EVALUATION OF THE NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE COVERING MATERIAL FOR THE STORAGE CELLS PLASTIC COVERING ALTERNATIVE (CONT'D) The alternatives explored include covering the tire piles with plastic and other materials for ballasting. All concepts rely on the premise that a plastic covering material is readily available with necessary characteristics to perform all the requirements stated above . In addition the practicality of using a plastic cover should be considered in terms of the cost for implementation. Based upon the preliminary cost estimates of using materials which satisfy the fire retardant characteristics necessary , this represents a cost of $8, 500 per cell for the plastic covering material only . The cost for the installation would be additional. The fire test used to demonstrate the flammability characteristics of fire retardant plastics includes exposure from a bunsen burner . The report ignition temperature of plastic sheet material is approximately 660 F. The reported ignition temperature of rubber tires is 7000 F. When comparing the susceptibility of ignition of fabric materials relative to that of rubber tires, it is obvious that the risk of ignition based on the documented ignition temperatures of plastic covering materials is greater than that of rubber tires. Consequently by providing a fire retardant plastic cover will provide no additional level of fire safety for the facility than if the tires are left exposed. PLASTIC AND EARTH COVER In the event that the plastic cover would be covered with dirt, there is no practical means to provide for the removal of such soil without damage to the plastic cover. Consequently , the tires that are to be recycled would be filled with soil and create a loss of recycling operation for which this storage facility is intended. This particular item has not been resolved by any of the individuals evaluating this . The tires stored in the cells will compact resulting in an uneven surface and the plastic liner will not be able to withstand this movement and be able to maintain the surface without tearing. In addition, if the plastic were to be covered with earth the plastic will tear easily when covered and again avoid the practical tire re-utilization that is anticipated with this recycling operation. PC Cr 1 2 -3- TIRE MOUNTAIN EVALUATION OF THE NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE COVERING MATERIAL FOR THE STORAGE CELLS PLASTIC AND EARTH COVER (CONT' D) The practicality of covering the tires with plastic and earth must also be considered in terms of cost and benefit. If the tires are covered in this fashion there is no possibility for reclamation . Although this alternative is plausible for the final disposition of the tires , this is not the case under the present operating scheme which contemplates recycling of the tires. The cost involved to provide a plastic cover and cover with dirt would be in excess of $5 ,000 excluding the cost of the plastic. In the process of accessing the tire piles to install the plastic cover , the likelihood of tearing the plastic is greater . In addition, the installation of the earth cover is going to be difficult. Although this approach provides slight benefit , it eliminates the primary basis for the tire recycling operation. FIRE RISK A previous report , conducted by High Country Engineering, dated November of 1988 (see attached) addressed the requirements for tire cell separation and need for berms within the storage cells in order to minimize fire spread from cell to cell assuminga fire were to be started in any single cell. In that analysis, it was anticipated that the spacing and placement of berms, access roads and the spacing of tire cells was predicated on the basis of a fully involved fire and the incident radiation on adjoining tire piles. That analysis provided the basis for the spacing of the tire cells. During that analysis it was assumed that the tire piles were not protected with any covering material(s) . The recommendations for the tire cell placement and utilization of berms and fire access roads have been agreed upon and incorporated by the Planning Commission and incorporated by the Weld County Commissioners for implementation into the approval as part of the Certificate of Designation. Consequently , that was the basis for the arrangement of the tire cells and subsequent approval. When considering both the issue of the plastic covers on the tires and the plastic covers with the earth, neither of the alternatives appear to serve a practical solution for the storage of these tires based upon the results of incident radiation on adjoining cells. The results of the fire protection analysis and recommendations provided in our report date November of 1988 would not change at all as a result of the need to cover or not to cover the tires . We have previously conducted a fire risk assessment associated with the tire storage cells that would potentially ignite the tires at this site. Our previous evaluation concerning the likelihood of ignition indicated that lightning was the only -4- TIRE MOUNTAIN EVALUATION OF THE NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE COVERING MATERIAL FOR THE STORAGE CELLS FIRE RISK (CONT' D) credible risk that existed . The evaluation utilized the risk assessment guide provided in NFPA #78 , "The Lightning Protection Code. " This includes such factors as the type of construction , relative location, size and height , topography of site and surrounding areas, type of occupancy and the number of thunderstorms in the general area. In considering that some of the factors are not specifically applicable , the analysis suggested that the risk of lightning in underground trenches is almost non—existent when compared to above ground storage. The net result is that the use of plastic covering on the tires will not provide any degree of added fire safety for the facility. In fact the fire retardant plastic poses a higher risk of ignition than the tires themselves. FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION We had previously examined other fire causes and recommended that fire prevention and protection measures be incorporated in the site emergency plan. Based upon the incorporation of the on— site fire prevention practices and the implementations of our recommendations for cell separation , establishment of a fire water supply and fire fighting procedures , it would appear that the level of fire risks is minimal at the site. None the less if a fire would occur adequate provisions for fire fighting and active fire suppression were considered appropriate for the facility. In the unlikely event that a fire is ignited in any cell, the emergency fire operations need to know the nature of the fire and the best way to contain it. One means to suppress the fire is the application of water particularly in the early stages of the fire. However , the primary fire suppression efforts should rely upon the heavy earth moving equipment which will provide the fire control required . The available earth on the site adjoining the cells provides the most practical fire extinguishing medium. In order to employ fire suppression agents (water and earth) and to be effective there must be no cover over the tires . Any covering material may inhibit the fire suppression activities . The newly adopted NFPA standard for storage of scrap tires is more than satisfied with the arrangement proposed . This facility provides a safer arrangement than is proposed under the Appendix to NFPA #231D Standard . This is true since the NFPA code contemplates above ground tire storage of whole scrap tires. The code establishes fire protection based upon minimizing the size of storage piles and control of ignition sources. rid TIRE MOUNTAIN EVALUATION OF THE NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE COVERING MATERIAL FOR THE STORAGE CELLS FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION (CONT' D) The tire storage arrangement in this specific application is in below grade cells and as such provides a higher level of safety from ignition risks and minimizes risk of exposure from fires from one tire cell to another. Additional safety factors , such as personnel and or equipment near the edge of the tire cells may create an unsafe condition. Considerations such as emergency personnel and equipment driving into the tire cells during non—daylight hours may create a safety hazard for both personnel and equipment . This condition would be less likely if the tires were exposed . SUMMARY Based upon the above review including the anticipated recycling program, the impracticality of covering the tires with plastic and/or earth, the cost necessary to provide the alternative covering, the lack of any increased level of fire safety , the level of safety to fire fighters and the effectiveness of fire extinguishing efforts all lead to the conclusion that there is no need based upon fire safety criteria which justifies any covering material on the tires under the recycling mode of operation. In conclusion, the open cell storage of tires will provide a safer storage arrangement due to safety of site personnel, safety of emergency response personnel and the application of fire fighting agents. -6- 231D-12 STORAGE OF RUBBER TIRES • Automatic sprinklers can be expected to operate within Appendix C Guidelines for Outdoor Storage 2 to 5 minutes of ignition.

SCOPE This report has been developed to provide Mr. Jarrald A . Jamison the owner of Tire Mountain , Inc . , an independent fire safety review of the proposed scrap tire landfill, located at 12311 Weld County Road 41 in Hudson, Colorado . The situation which prompted the concern about this facility was a fire involving a stockpile of used tires. In June , 1987 a fire involving approximately 2 million tires was started by a direct lightning strike at the facility . This report is intended to address the fire safety concerns of the owner , the local fire jurisdiction and the community . This review and evaluation will address the proposed site layout to develop an acceptable storage arrangement with respect to fire safety . This fire safety review is in conjunction with the permitting and certification requirements from the Colorado Department of Health. This evaluation does not address the existing conditions with respect to the above ground tire storage . The scope of this evaluation was primarily directed at three issues . 1 . The spacing of the cells used for tire storage with respect to adjoining storage cells and the minimum required distance between the cells to prevent ignition of adjoining cells assuming a fire . 2. The need for separation/fire breaks within the individual cells to minimize the likelihood of total involvement within a single cell and the spacing of these fire breaks. 3. The proposed distance between the storage cells as they relate to the requirements for fire department operations and access . The analysis and subsequent recommendations are primarily intended to address the above issues. Other issues with respect to fire prevention, security , control of ignition sources, fire fighting, water supply , etc. were only briefly considered during this evaluation. However , it is recognized that all of these features collectively establish the overall fire safety of the facility . -2- •PC091 i II. REFERENCES : A.

INTRODUCTION Facilities which store scrap tires outdoors are not directly addressed in any nationally recognized fire codes. There is very little technical data published with regard to the combustion or combustibility of tires in outdoor locations . Due to the lack of published information, standards and criteria, recommendations have been developed based upon expertise in fire protection engineering along with back-up references from the limited code information data available relative to the protection of hazards. The following evaluation will address the adequacy of the fire lanes with regard to proper separation distance and fire lane access between the storage cells. The evaluation will also _include recommendations to provide for safer operation and maintenance of the facility with respect to fire safety. These recommendations will address design, operations , maintenance and safety for the facility . Based upon the previously described scope this evaluation is intended to : 1 . Determine if the proposed 50 foot separation between storage cells is adequate to limit the spread of fire. 2. Determine if it is necessary to reduce the size of the storage cells by providing fire breaks within each storage cell. 3. Assess the location and design of the proposed fire lanes with respect to providing for fire department access and sufficient area for the fire department to operate in. Or-1,112 -5- i V. ANALYSIS A. To determine whether or not the 50 foot separation distance proposed between storage cells is adequate, a set of calculations have been performed . These calculations will consider the surface of half of a storage cell being fully involved in fire and the effect it will have on the neighboring cells. The cells are considered to be divided in half by 50 foot wide earthen barriers. In order to mathematically describe the conditions which occur in a fire the characteristics of the fuel must be considered . The technical data for the combustion of rubber tires was not available from the customary fire protection reference sources. Consequently the analysis was based on the observed estimated flame height of 100 feet. This is from discussions with the Platteville fire department personnel and actual experience . This analysis will calculate the amount of heat that will be felt on a storage cell adjacent to one fully involved in fire. The result of this calculation will determine whether or not the 50 feet distance between storage cells will be sufficient to prevent ignition of neighboring storage cells. Calculations such as these are used in United Kingdom and by the j hydrocarbon processing industry to determine safe distances between buildings or storage tanks in order to prevent the ignition of adjoining structures or 1 processes from radiant heat. The calculations will determine how much heat energy is being radiated from a fire and the amount of heat energy being received at the adjacent storage cells. These results will be used to determine if the separation distance is adequate. All mathematical equations used are from "An Introduction to Fire Dynamics" . These calculations do not consider the effects of weather . The calculations also assume very high combustion efficiency with an adequate air supply to support combustion. In actual practice the fuel supply will be limited . V. ANALYSIS (CONT' D) STEP 1 : CALCULATE THE RATE OF HEAT RELEASE FOR THE �FF^IRE. Qc= I (.Y+I .

ANALYSIS (CONT' D) B. From discussion with and reviewing the fire fighting apparatus and equipment of the Platteville Fire Protection District , there must be 18 feet distance to set up a truck to pump water and 15 feet to set up the portable tank and that leaves a 17 foot driving lane for tankers to use to fill the portable tank.

RESULTS A. After reviewing the results of the calculations a heat flux of 7 . 22 KW/m1 is received at the edge of the adjoining storage cell . The radiant heat energy to ignite wood is 12. 5 KW/m A after prolonged exposure. Since the energy required to ignite rubber tires is not available a comparison to the ignition of wood was used . The chart in Figure 4 will give a better understanding of what the results of radiant heat energy are. The ignition temperature of wood after a prolonged exposure is 662 ° F. (From Fire Dynamics) The ignition temperature of rubber tires is 700 ° F (from Factory Mutual) , Due to the ignition temperature of rubber tires being somewhat higher than that of wood provides a greater safety factor with respect to possible ignition. The density of the materials also has an effect on jthe ease of ignition. Generally those materials with a greater density are harder to ignite. Since rubber tires have a greater density than wood the tires are not as likely to ignite as wood with a similar exposure . In comparing the radiant energy required to ignite combustibles , the ignition temperature and the density of the material indicate that the rubber tires will not ignite under the conditions evaluated . i i Consideration must also be given to the fact that 977 of the stored tires in the cells will be separated from other cells by a physical barrier of soil, 50 feet wide. The majority of heat being produced from the fire is directed vertically, dissipated in the air above the fire. Only 30 percent of the energy is radiated to the adjoining storage cell . —12— ( C:; '; I VI.

According to the calculation results, the size of the storage cells is required to be reduced in half from cell size proposed. This is due to fact that an entire cell being involved in fire will produce radiant heat energy greater than 14. 3 KW/m With the cells divided in half, radiant heat energy is reduced to 7.22 KW/m I. C. The proposed width of the fire lanes (50 feet) will provide for reasonable and safe operations of the fire department during emergencies , -13- tinq T i VII . RECOMMENDATIONS r A. Storage Cell Separation Divide the storage cells in half with a 50 foot wide earthen barrier to reduce the size of the potential fire. Reducing the sire of the individual storage cells , by providing an earthen separation at the middle , will be beneficial in several ways . It will provide for better access to the stored scrap tires for both, the facility operator and fire department . By reducing the amount of tires in each storage cell, will reduce the size of a fire which will reduce the probability of a fire spreading to adjoining storage cells. The size and construction of these separations should be similiar to that of the barriers between the storage cells. B. Fire Lanes The construction of the fire lanes between cells shall be able to support a weight of 50,000 pounds . Consideration must be given to fire apparatus operating while in a parked mode , within two feet of the edge of the fire lane and water spilling onto the roadway surface during fire fighting operations. These fire lanes must be kept unobstructed and 1 driveable at all times of the year . C. Water Supply The irrigation wells for water supply sources will flow a sufficient amount of water to provide for exposure protection and limited containment purposes. They are located within reasonable proximity to the tire storage facility to provide application of water in a timely manner . -14- I _ VII. RECOMMENDATIONS (CONY D) D.

Vehicles should not be stored in the tire storage area so as not to create an exposure hazard . 3• At the present �� continuous monitoring of the site isprovided.

This person should be familiar with all the fire safety requirements and procedures. In case of an emergency this person will be in charge of facility employees and coordinate fire suppression efforts with the fire department. 1 -16- VIII . CONCLUSION This review of the layout of the proposed facility , indicates that the design and layout of the storage cells is sufficient to prevent the spread of fire from radiant heat and allow for reasonable fire department access in cases of a fire emergency providing that all of the recommendation included in this report are implemented . The single most important consideration is the capability to readily mobilize fire protection efforts with heavy equipment located on site . The other primary concern is fire prevention practices , which can be controlled through the operator of the facility . Although forces of nature cannot be completely prevented nor controlled , with the layout proposed a fire in one storage cell will not ignite an adjoining cell if immediate efforts are made towards fire control with on—site personnel. With both the fire department and the resources available to the 1 facility operator , a fire in any of the storage cells can be contained and held under control until it is extinguished. The practice of reducing the size of the stockpiles and burying them below grade will provide for a more efficient and fire safe operation particularly when compared to the existing above ground storage .

O. Box 122 1 Platteville, Colorado 80651 Re: Tire Mountain, Inc. Dear Mr. Miller: The January 1990 report prepared by Glen Hoynoski of High Country Engineering entitled Evaluation of Alternative Covering Material, has been reviewed by me . The report is comprehensive in its evaluation of in-trench scrap tire coverings. The re- search accomplished by Mr. Hoynoski does not reveal any signi- ficant data that provides enlightenment with respect to coverages for in-trench tires. The concepts used at the Tire Mountain facility for fire prevention, fire safety and suppression are apparently not incorporated in any known literature or available research information. Mr. Hoynoski has made evaluations in his report, based on his extensive knowledge and experience , that reflect reasonable and logical conclusions to assure beyond a reasonable doubt that uncovered in-trench tire storage is in fact the most practical method. His point regarding safety of personnel and equipment in the area where uncovered tire trenches exist that can be readily seen is particularly valid . He also points out that in the un- likely event of a fire in the trenched tires , the tire cells as designed can readily be covered by dirt taken from the adjacent fills constructed as access roadways . Mr. Hoynoski ' s research shows that the greatest fire suppres- sant for tires is earth. In this case, earth is readily available and the placement should not be inhibited by artificial cover . Further, the fact that the tested plastics are more flammable than the tires themselves indicates that a fire is more likely to occur and spread if plastics are used adjacent to or on the tires . fTh r rd Platteville Fire Protection District Glenn Miller, Fire Marshall January 17 , 1990 Page Two Mr. Hoynoski ' s report provides no compelling reason to cover the in-trench tires, but rather his conclusion supports the fact that open uncovered cells of waste tires is the preferred practice. I recommend that Tire Mountain, Inc. , be encouraged to follow the recommendations of High Country Engineering. Respectfully, NELSON ENGINEERS LaVern C. Nelson, P.E.

We will need approximately seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) tires per year if we are successful in burning the whole tires. We will need clean tires (no dirt or water) when we receive them, and also if the stockpile of tires were ever shredded, the tires need to be free of dirt and trash or the cost of shredding them may be much higher because of labor to clean the tires and also higher maintenance cost on the equipment.
