| Abstract | Long Description |
This report was written to satisfy the requirements of Substitute House Bill 2308 (SHB 2308), passed in the 57th session. In part, SHB 2308 directed the Department of Ecology (Ecology) to investigate and draw conclusions by December 31, 2002, on the following: (1) The use of scrap tires as alternative daily cover for landfills. This shall include, but not be limited to, a review of alternative daily cover specifications that have been developed by other states, and either an analysis of those specifications' applicability to Washington or recommendations for developing alternative daily cover specifications that are unique to Washington; (2) The feasibility of establishing and maintaining an incentive program for market development for scrap tires. This shall include, but not be limited to, the results of research into the availability of funding for such a program and proposed criteria for the program that favors projects utilizing higher end value uses of scrap tires. In addition, SHB 2308 directed Ecology to track and report annually to the legislature the total increase or reduction of tire recycling or reuse rates in the state for each calendar year and for the cumulative calendar years from the effective date of this act. This report is organized to provide the current context for scrap tire management in Washington and the region while also meeting legislative requirements of SHB 2308 cited above. There are many types of scrap tire management programs which provide information, examples, and lessons learned. Capturing some of those key experiences here provides a basis for improving scrap tire management in Washington State. |
