Sec. 16.

(a) IC 13-20-14-9.5 requires the removal of whole waste tires from MSW, as defined at 329 IAC 10-2-115, that is transferred at a transfer station, except as provided for in this section. The incidental transfer of small amounts of whole waste tires at a transfer station is allowed if the owner, operator, or permittee of that transfer station complies with one (1) of the following options:

(1) The numeric standard described in subsection (b).

(2) A procedure that meets the criteria in subsection (c).

(b) The numeric standard for incidental transfer of whole waste tires is not more than one (1) visible whole waste tire for each two hundred fifty (250) tons of MSW, as defined at 329 IAC 10-2-115, or not more than two (2) tires per day for transfer stations that transfer less than two hundred fifty (250) tons of waste per day.

(c) In lieu of complying with the numeric standard in subsection (b), an owner, operator, or permittee of a transfer station must develop and follow a written procedure. This procedure must:

(1) be kept at the transfer station;

(2) be designed to minimize the transfer of whole waste tires by ensuring that those tires that do not meet the definition of incidental transfer at 329 IAC 11-2-15.1 are removed from the MSW;

(3) designate by position and describe the duties of the person who is responsible for minimizing transfer of whole waste tires;

(4) provide clear instructions to transfer station employees who handle waste tires and haulers for handling whole waste tires;

(5) contain a system for:

(A) identifying haulers who deliver whole waste tires to the transfer station; and

(B) notifying those haulers that the disposal of whole waste tires is prohibited;

(6) provide for proper storage and disposal or recycling of tires removed from MSW; and

(7) document reduction in the numbers of whole waste tires incidentally transferred at that transfer station.
